Master Of None

Chapter 859 - 859. Champions Pledge

"Midnight, now?" There was a little questioning in the tone Walker used. But when Midnight nearly jumped on him he knew that she wanted to get it over with and be able to stay with her family with no dragon or person trying to stop her.Â

"We are doing it now. The pedestal is already prepared with a cup. The draconic guardian is here. All I need to do is copy the skill methodology and hope that I get it and it works." The energy Walker had was too light hearted for Adair to handle. She was still expecting him to just bow out and say that it wasn't possible. She would stay on that mindset if she hadn't just seen a human roar like a dragon.Â

"You just need to copy it? Is it so simple? It is a rare and important skill. How can it just be copied?!" For a powerful elder water dragon in their dragonkin form, Adair appeared to be close to fainting.

"Trust me, Miss Adair. We have been shocked so many times by this kind of thing that our hearts don't even react anymore." Gil attempted to reassure Adair but instead, she just looked at him as if she was crazy.Â

"This happens often!?" There was a question there but both Remey and Gil shared a nod in response. They didn't see the need to answer any further. If a dragons' heart gave out and they were the cause it would spell disaster.Â

For everything that was happening, the party was too relaxed compared to what Adair expected. This was a ceremony that would have entire living bloodlines present to watch. Things like this were not so little that they could be done on a whim in an attempt to just copy a skill. "It will be alright. They are special." The simple words from the wandering blacksmith were calm as a silent snow. He had developed this sense of peace from his determined years of forging. The unwavering aura that came over Adair from his words gave her stability.Â

The feeling of powerlessness was not something Adair was used to, but she found herself feeling it as she watched the actions in front of her.Â

"Alright, so first we need to make an oath. I'm sure that there is one for each elemental ancient royal dragon but we need one for us. And I think I have it." Midnight was facing Walker and Su was by their side. They were much more serious than they were prior and it impressed Adair to a degree.Â

"Forever we shall be more than blood. More than just two beings. More than what we bring in to each others' lives. If our power shall become greater than the seas we shall be equally still. If our lives shall fall then our souls will find each others' side. Never shall we worry for we will always have one another no matter the time or distance. I promise you this, we are greater than family. We are without words."Â

The words were more than they seemed. Mana flowed from Walker as he said them and he did nothing to stop it. His body felt as if it was not only his own. The bond with Midnight from his equal blood contract was reaching out to the two.Â

Midnight raised herself to her full height and did not dare to lower her gaze. The small growls and huffs from her were not audible as words but Walker could feel them. The mana coming from her was the same and the bond between them felt as if it was a steel rope being braided and strengthened.Â

There was no hesitation when Midnight used one of her sharp claws to pierce her front leg and let the blood drop in to the stone cup Walker had created. He did the same as he pulled a basic dagger from his inventory and cut his palm. The injuries were nothing to them. It did not matter. It could easily be healed but at the moment there was only the bond between them. They couldn't even see anything around them. There was nothing but the two at this moment. It was easier to say they had fallen in to their very own space.Â

Midnight felt as if a hidden instinct had awakened. Her golden flame heart was beating with heat and intensity that threatened to burst if she did not breathe her golden flames. But with this act, Walker realized he had no ability to breathe flames the same way a dragon could.Â

The natural mana around them began to shake before being pulled towards Walker. The spirit mark on his back absorbed it as if it was a desert during the first rainstorm in years. "Sigh of life."

'The skill sigh of life has been called upon by the nature spirit Fleur. The bonded partner has been granted access to the skill sigh of life.Â

Sigh of life- 50 natural manaÂ

Natural mana is gathered within the user with the assistance of a nature spirit or greater. The user will breathe out condensed natural mana causing a soft ripple of natural mana. The area will gain new natural life and become more vibrant. All those under the effects of this skill will feel light and relief. The skill will slowly heal all affected in the area for an hour. Elemental spirits in the area will have an easier time awakening. This skill can only be used a limited number of times; once a month.'

Walker felt the mana in his lungs and he breathed out letting the sound of a soft sigh escape his lips. The mana pulled and calmed around him like a mirrored lake. The golden flames Midnight had breathed calmed in to a perfect ball that seemed to devour the blood in the cup. Golden flame ropes lept from the flames and wrapped around Walker and Midnights' necks before melting in to their very beings. The pair collapsed as they regained their sight of the world around them.Â
