Master Of None

Chapter 63 - 63. Problems



Walker realized that having Su shout a taunt skill so loud was not the best move. The echos carried the skill much father than intended.

"We need to move fast that skill traveled more than I expected. Be ready for a longer fight!" Walker gave his warning and watched the undead begin to push forward closer to each other. "Wait...waiiitttt....EVIL CONSUMING FLAME!!!!" Walker saw the perfect moment and released a white fireball to the middle of the swarm.

The flame seemed small at first just a white dot among the rotting undead. But as the seconds passed the flames spread. Soon the party was witness to a bright white blaze consuming the whole square. However, the flame didn't dare spread to the stone buildings or burn the over grown plants. This was a testament to the light magic element. This spell only consumed evil and the thoughtless undead that only wished to kill were evil.

Witnessing this walker felt enlightened. This was a lesson of what magic would affect other elemental magic. What could harm and what could help.

'The user has reached partial enlightenment in the world's elemental magic. The skill elemental fusion Has been taken from the world bringers system.

Elemental fusion- ???

The ways of the world are mysterious, not many achieve an understanding of the systems in which existence flow. Using the knowledge gained through this understanding elemental magic can be fused in to stronger attacks'

Walker almost became enthralled by this system message but before he could start thinking he noticed something. The white flames were dying down in the square. A small line of flame traveled down the streets Walker had come from.

But what truly brought them the entire party to halt was not the white flames, not the countless system notifications, but the creature stomping through the ashes towards them.

Walker used his skill to discern its identity,

'Undead golem

Created through long term rot. Many undead forced in to one place over many years will eventually conform in to one body as their bodies break down.'

This undead golem looked slow but it was tough. Every time it touched the white flames a layer of rotting skin would burn to ashes only to reveal the golem to still be walker forwards.

This golem was terrifying. The legs and arms were like tree trunks. Its body was made of multiple fused rib cages. The head was sunken in to the body, barely even noticeable. The hands had melted together in to honey rotting cudgels. One hit could end all of their lives.

The flames had begun to die down revealing bones, partially burned zombie arms or legs, and ashes plenty of ashes. If the wind had decided to blow the whole area would disappear in to a grey haze.

The ever approaching thuds of the golems steps rang in Walker's ears. "We may have messed up a bit here." Walker had realized this fight would be much tougher than he had expected. "Alright here's the plan. Su be ready to block at a second notice. Gil when we back off you shoot every chance you get. Remey time your attacks for when Gils' arrows hit so it's distracted. Midnight stay away from its feet they could crush you. I'll buff everyone and try to heal and attack when possible."

Walker had devised a roll for everyone as quick as possible. Looking around he could see a few zombies or skeletons still moving some lost arms others couldn't even properly move.

Midnight had already jumped from the roof and begun finishing off the injured undead. Gil was letting fly arrow after arrow clearing an area for the others to fight.

"Multi buff!" Walker buffed everyone up. The undead golem had arrived in the square. It had definitely lost some mass from the remaining flames it carelessly stepped on. However, the aura of dread around it was strong.

The golem noticed Su who had just gotten in to position and began to move. Remey was to the side unnoticed.

An arrow flew and hit the golem in its center. The golem barely flinched at the damage. Remey circled around its back and released a punch. The golem barely registered the hit. It didn't even take its focus from Su.

"Su it's still affected by your taunt keep it at a distance. We will wear it down." Walker

Midnight had finished attacking the injured undead and came to the right side of the golem. She unleashed her claws rending a piece of the golems tough skin off. Noticing the golem didn't even react Walker could feel the anger in Midnight. She did not like being ignored. Midnight let herself go In to a small frenzy cleaving flesh from bones on the golem.

After six swipes of her claws midnight had made significant cuts to the golems side and back showing the underlying muscles and bones fused together. Midnight had become a bit short of breath from her attacks.

"Midnight move back let me at em!" Remey jumped forward throwing punches at the same areas midnight already damaged, the sounds of bones cracking were disgusting.

The golem finally took its notice from Su and began to turn. But as it raised its arm to swing at Remey three arrows in quick succession pierced its shoulder. The golem dropped its arm and turned towards the roof Gil was still standing on.

The golem was moving a bit farther now the sounds it made echoing through the buildings. Each step cracked the old stones on the square. Su had made her way near Walker with an idea. " leader use your flames on the cuts midnight and Remey made, you may get under its defenses." Her plan was solid. Walker lacked piercing power but Remey and midnight didn't so he could use their efforts to do real damage.

Su and walker separated "get over here you fat brute!" Su used a taunt to draw its attention. The golem had begun to collect arrows on its outside like porcupine needles. Gil refused to stop firing.

Walker approached the golems back seeing the deepened cut. He slammed his staff in to it as deep as he could. "Evil consuming flames!" White fire burst from the injury. Walker retreated as the golem came to a halt yet again.
