Pulling the water from the air was a simple task. Walker had done it many times at this point in his life. Especially when he had gone to form ice for his skills. It was just a simple thing that any water mage needed to learn. However, this time he was not making ice. He had to extinguish the smoldering parts of the assassin jacket nest.
"Fleur, if we can pull the water in to a cloud just above the nest, we can make a fake rain." The idea was to replicate nature and make it rain, literally. Fleur was still within the spirit mark, but she was very much paying attention.
Since Walker had mentioned that he would need her help, Fleur had focused solely on making the natural mana denser in the spirit mark and around them. This was her strength and she was not going to abandon Walker. Especially because she also wanted to return the land that had the nest on it to what it should be if nothing had eaten away at it.
The earth and the water were the two first steps. While Walker imagined the water being gathered in the sky right above the nest, he could tell that it was actually easier to manipulate the water in the air this way. He had used much more mana to condense it directly in to water then freezing it compared to now. This alone made him feel slightly disappointed in himself for not following the natural flow of mana in the first place.
The mist that formed first was a sign that Walker had succeeded. The cloud that became denser and denser as he used his mana to poke and prod the mist together was closer to the ground than he imagined. However, it was already forcing the smoldering land to return to damp soil. The smoke was caught which coincidentally added to the moisture. The water in the smoke had become a perfect addition to the cloud.
,m "And now…rain." The sudden burst of Walker's mana caused the water to begin to fall lightly. It was not a strong rain but a drizzle that fell all at once. The cloud he had created was gone in just a few seconds but the water had done its job. "Hmm, I will need to try that again another day. I thought I could do that better." The slight failure of actually copying real rain weight on Walker a little because it made him feel that he had been neglecting real water magic for too long.
"Midnight, come closer, I am going to smooth out the earth here with my high earth sculpting skill. If I do it like this though, there will be some assassin jackets that might still be alive underneath." The worry was not unfounded. Walker was sure that there were a few of the assassin jackets that could hold their breath for some time. That was also why the three dragonkin were currently defeating one of two that they harvested and piled up near Walker. They were not all suffocated when the nest collapsed.
The way that the earth looked where the nest had been was sloppy, to say the least. The ground had fallen in to a large hole that the assassin jackets had dug out. This left the ground to be nearly impossible to walk on because there were still air pockets that could collapse. Walker could sense these just by sending his mana in to the ground.
Furthermore, the explosive potions had created small craters that would make travel even more challenging here. The small stones that were broken up had sharp edges as well. Overall, this area would be tough for horses, walking, or monsters to travel.
Since Walker had more experience manipulating the earth due to his previous battles, he felt that the ground here was easier to change. Just by digging his hands in to the water softened soil, he felt it already start to bend to his will.
The air pockets were easy to handle underground. All he had to do was use his mana to make the ground shake a little. This caused the three dragonkin to retreat toward hui and watch the earth fall back in to place. Midnight growled a little and the sound of her claws tearing at an assassin jacket made Walker know that he had freed one as he thought he would. But Midnight would not let a single one approach them. She was too good for that.
As Walker began to flatten the land with his skill, a few other sounds of things breaking the ground were heard. The rain had softened the soil causing the few living assassin jackets to be able to escape easily. This was why the three dragonkin needed to act as well.
The first assassin jacket to break free was wingless. It had been hit by the wall of flame and fallen in to the nest. Now it was able to attempt revenge, or it would have been if it had not tried to run right at Walker. Right where the dragonkin holding a large sword was waiting to defend the person that was one of the dragon royals they were to protect.
Just as the sword slashed the assassin jacket's head off, three more had broken the soil's surface. But Midnight had already teamed up with the other two dragonkin. They had their own swords and Midnight had her claws.
'',
Instead of being able to wreath her claws in flames, Midnight had to do something else. She knew that the fire would be weakened by the water that had fallen along with causing more parts of the nest to smolder again. She didn't want to undo the work that Walker had already done.
Taking past inspiration from Walker, Midnight took a deep breath and changed the mana she focused on. Instead of fire, she imagined the ice she had seen Walker make forming from her breath. She had seen a dragon breathe ice and also water, how could she not do it when she had trained it before?
The single small breath of ice was enough to freeze some of the water on to her claws. The result was Midnight's second form of elemental wreathed claws, the very sharp and pointed frost claw. She stumbled ever so slightly because of the change in her claws. However, Midnight just used her wings to hold herself up. She had copied Walker and used a skill she had thought of in battle, now she had to actually use it.
The assassin jacket that became her target was one that had not gained any visible damage other than the soil covering it. This had been one that was in the nest when they had attacked. It had been covered and unable to escape. The freedom it had was also met with rage since it knew its queen had fallen. This was why it did not hesitate to attempt to use its wings.
The assassin jacket flapped its wings to be able to gain space to sting Midnight as she approached. But it was not fast enough. Midnight had already used her wings to push herself forward. The assassin jacket was like a sitting target to her. She just had to slash with her icy claws.
The wounds that the assassin jacket received were enough for anyone to cringe. The slashes that appeared on the exoskeleton of the assassin jacket froze solid causing ice to splinter it even worse. The assassin jacket had barely lifted itself off the ground before falling right back on the ground next to the two other assassin jackets that the dragonkin had defeated.
"And now to bring the natural mana in to the ground here." The four had been worried about the assassin jackets but Walker had already been changing the earth. He had begun to mumble his steps in a hyper focused state.
The natural mana that he and Fleur had pulled together was seeping in to the ground. The dormant seeds and roots from what had lived here before the assassin jackets had made their nest began to come back to life.
The use of natural mana proved to be truly remarkable. The three dragonkin had never seen something like this. The soft soil had been forced to even out and was just showing signs of seedlings sprouting. Even more so, there were signs of other things like mushrooms and small worms coming to the surface. They were all reacting to the increased natural mana to grow and move better.
"Ha! Anything else will be too much for the land right now but I gave it a start." Walker jumped up with a satisfied shout. He wasn't going to damage the land by forcing it to grow but he could give it just enough mana to start strong. "Nice job defending me. I had to stay pretty focused there." Mordant's dragonkin were stunned, how could they be anything else?
