Master Of None

2171 2171. Onyx Fights

Holding back was not a phrase that onyx would have recognized as the oppressive force of dark and light mana melded together around him. He was not showing the lightest weakness as his head reared up and faced the face stealer. The enemy was just pure evil created by the immortal king and the others of the immortal chasing race. Now that this ancient monster had been brought here to the elemental planes, it was clear that the immortal king was showing off his most powerful cards to be able to achieve the power of his dreams. The armor that overtook the scales that onyx naturally had was impressive to say the least. The dark mana wrapped around him and even stretched put in to the shadows acting as the perfect grip for him to boost his speed. The more shadows and darkness mana around the faster he would be able to move himself while causing decay to any attacks coming towards him. The light mana that made up the major aspects of his armor was condensed to the max of his ability. He was using the light to condense it in to physically tough armor that was hard to pierce with any basic weapons of physical force. Magical attacks would have a harder time getting to his already tough scales as well. This was all disregarding the natural healing that came with the light mana for him as he had grown and could use it to sustain himself. It was his and every abyssal serpent's food source!

All of that being the case, it wasn't even close to the aura of mixed dark and light mana that radiated all around him. it showed the immense control that he had over that mana. Those two manas were a part of him. In every aspect of who onyx was, he had used his time to meditate, train, and generally learn how to balance the two manas that he had affinities for. While he had also gained the unique low spatial storage skill because of being exposed to the space mana that Walker always used, this was nothing compared to what he had when it came to affinities naturally. He could have gained affinities through the bonds with Walker and through Walker, Midnight and the others. But he had never tried to do so nor accepted that. Their bonds had strengthened him and allowed him to grow faster. He loved and cared for those that he had powerful bonds with. Onyx truly grew to respect and care for all those within his life. But right this moment, his focus on just two manas working as opposites and also as perfect matches was clearly superior. "He is not going to need our help. What an interesting turn of events." The light devouring dragon had yet to show much emotion since he had focused and become serious. However, as the face stealer showed more of its horrid body, he ended up stepping back. As a light devouring dragon, he had the ability to sense the light mana to a higher degree than just about anyone else. The light mana was his literal connection to life after all. Without it, he would be at death's doors. Therefore, as he felt that onyx had even begun to take away some of his natural control of light mana, the light devouring dragon realized he did not need to assist here whatsoever. That the world was home to powerful beings he underestimated. 11:04

As a light devouring dragon, he had the ability to sense the light mana to a higher degree than just about anyone else. The light mana was his literal connection to life after all. Without it, he would be at death's doors. Therefore, as he felt that onyx had even begun to take away some of his natural control of light mana, the light devouring dragon realized he did not need to assist here whatsoever. That the world was home to powerful beings he underestimated. Without much hesitation, Onyx snapped out toward the face stealer. Its segmented skin and bone covered body was tougher than many other undead that they had faced as apathy, however, Omnyx's fangs pierce one section entirely. Injecting potent venom. What the party had not realized that onyx had learned, was that when he grew the second set of fangs, he had managed to gain more than the abyssal poison created from potent and unique dark mana. He now had a light poison that was using the destructive aspects of light mana used in purification of rotten flesh. This was dramatically burning through the segment of the face stealer's body. The dark poison causing rot to extend through the bones and the light poison melting away the zombified flesh along with the still undead zombified skin placed over all of it. The segment fell away detached as the face stealer did so to free itself from Onyx's grip. In an instant, the broken parts of its body snapped together as if that destroyed segment had never been there in the first place. In a single swipe, the crimson scythes used as scythes attempted a wide slash at Onyx. Grinding and crackling sounds came from the light and dark armor that Onyx wore. The scythe that had struck was ground to a dull edge. Some of the older ones had completely snapped or broken off. This forced the face stealer to drop off those broken limbs and attack another way. It was a brutal undead monster, created for cutting things apart to make more undead. To experiment more. However, it was failing to cut? Even without orders too, it was filled with rage that a living creature was unable to be cut!

The reaction was to throw the back section of its body at Onyx in an attempt to force him to flinch. Instead, onyx struck out with his tail from the coil he had still been in. The end of his tail slammed down sending a large pulse of mixed light and dark mana around the entire area. This ate away at the body of the face stealer while also crushing the thrown segment. The manas were not enough to stop the regeneration of the face stealer, but it was clearly weakening overall. The drain on its mana from the way that Onyx allowed his manas to overrun it made the undead lose the race for healing itself. Adding in the darkness mana from the dark elemental plane it was still partially in, and the rate of decay was much higher. "You are a horror of the past. You should have remained there." As Onyx made this message heard to everyone around him, he lashed out with his tail again. Three shadows lashed up from below Onyx while three more of light came from above. His real tail slammed in to the center of the face stealer delivering intense light and dark mana clashing with one another. The light tails and the dark tails made of light mana and dark manas respectively also met their target. Each and every single section of the face stealer was being steeped in manas which were not harmonious. The decaying and the purifying effects clashed causing the regenerative abilities left behind by false death runes to fail. The runes themselves were being torn apart by the imbalance manas. "I am the one who holds balance between light and dark here. I can make it skew to one side or the other. I can make it clash as it has for eons in the vast existence beyond these planes." Onyx spoke what everyone realized was the start of a greater skill. His words resonated through the light and darkness mana before he opened his mouth and sent a spiraling beam of light and darkness manas intertwined. The burst of mana broke through every single aspect of what had been the ancient undead known for dissecting its prey. For being used as a tool for the immortal chasing race. All that was left couldn't even be called bone or skin pieces. They were rapidly purifying or decaying depending on the manas present. "I'm so proud." Walker just smiled as he began to walk toward Onyx who had hidden his body again in the shadows. Clearly he had exhausted a little too much mana. "Thank you for the hard work." Walker felt that Onyx was already beginning to lose his consciousness. He was falling asleep before even getting to his shoulders. "Just like you." Onyx's words made it clear that he had fought alone for a very good reason. To show Walker and the others that he had lived up to and beyond just being a hero like Walker. That he had learned to stand beside Walker as more than just a family member or an older brother. "We should keep moving. That was impressive. You have my respect." The light devouring dragon sensed that the light dragonoids were finishing their battles as well. He pushed ahead, but he let his gaze linger on onyx. His mind stayed with the fact that this was clearly a very young being, however, it was strong enough to stand against the older of their species. An astounding fact. An astounding existence that had came from the world cut off to the elemental planes. So much could be learned. So much was unknown. The world had to be a miraculous place now. …
