Master Of None

Chapter 2203: 2203. Young Woman

In the midst of talking to the new deep sea golem architect, Walker felt a change in the body with Midnight. Specifically, he felt that she had gotten stronger.

Through their bond, Walker can sense a lot. Especially since he was able to share mana

through that bond to a certain degree. However, lately, he had felt that midnight was somewhat ravenous.

While he didn't worry that she was always hungry, he worried that it was more than normal. As any young dragon, Midnight would be very hungry because she needed the food to grow. The other royal dragons all needed a lot of food to be satiated, however, they were able to control their cravings since they also supplemented mana as a source of nutrients.

Yet, Midnight had needed a lot more mana and a lot more food lately. She had been eating enough that Walker was sure that something major was happening with her in some form or fashion. But right now, he sensed that the floodgates had finally been released and she was using all that food and mana.

"I need to head out, one of my family members is working on seething. Su!"

"I felt it too, Midnight is growing bigger again. I bet she was hiding it from us so that we wouldn't worry. And I would bet a thousand gold coins that onyx is right with her too." Su had the bond between her and Midnight that Walker didn't have. One that was her as a guardian and Midnight as her champion. It was unique and Su had a deeper connection to vaguely sense what midnight might think rather than just feel.

She also shared a lot of the food hunting ideals since she and Midnight enjoyed moving around to discover the foods of other cultures. They could do it all day if they had not limited themselves. Not that this was a bad thing. Just a habit that they were falling more in to since they could eat a great deal if they wished. Su just had to hold herself back since she had other goals as well.

As the pair made their move, they could sense the draconic aura radiating in the distance. They also noticed that ventus had flown slightly lower in the sky taking a look in to the distance before she moved back in to the skies and paid attention to one of her children who she ahad decided could use a little training before going back to the demon lands.

Knowing that the other royal dragons surely sensed this, it was nice to know that they were letting midnight have her space. This was just a basic respect to them, but it was also somewhat of a nod to how they would be interested in what has changed and what was going on. Curiosity was, after all, normal for every race.

As Walker used wind mana to speed up his and Su's movements, he was very impressed how well Su was learning and adapting to her very own wings as a half dragon. She had been trying to learn to strengthen them since she was not born with them and they had developed fairly later compared to any born half dragons. A race still not very possible as the races had not been united enough.

That didn't mean that Su hadn't looked in to it. She had found historical mentions of half dragons but found that they would often live very remotely and would not interfere much in anything that was not directly related to their dragon parent.

Regardless of that, Su had found that learning to fly was enjoyable. Especially since she had the dragon blood within her that made her wish to experience the joys of flight. Even if she was a little more acclimated to earth mana, she was not afraid or deterred from flight.

Instead, she had been relying on others' help to be able to take weight off the wings when she trained. The muscles developed very well so that she could fly better and be able to carry the weight of both her body and the heavy armor she wore. That was beside the weight of the shields she carried too. It would take some time for her to reach the peak of her ability but it would yet again, change her battle style.

As the two neared the area, they saw Onyx standing guard. His large coiled form was the ideal deterrent that could crush many of the monsters within the area with a simple swing of his tail. He was just that strong now compared to the average monster that might be foolish enough to approach him.

When Onyx noticed Su and Walker, he shook his head. "Sister wanted to surprise you, but she definitely didn't expect to make such a show. She has been feeling this growth coming for a while." Onyx didn't take the effort to hide what had been happening. He could tell that the two of them already understood it. They could sense it.

As they looked over midnight who was in a somewhat meditative state, Walker could sense that she had made her golden dragon hearts more developed. Not just that, but she had taken her entire body to a much higher level than what it had been.

"Have you guys ever heard of a dragon with black gold scales? I wouldn't think that any dragon looks like this." While Walker was impressed by the intricate flecks of gold running through all of midnight's scales, he was more impressed by the fact that she had grown to the size of a large house now. It was like watching time itself be sped up as Midnight adapted to the depths of mana fusing within her.

"Ah, it's called the world dragon heart now. So she mixed the affinities she had to make a natural mana affinity entirely. This is amazing!" Walker's mana senses and all around appraisal were picking up so many improvements that he couldn't do anything but praise midnight. He was a little annoyed she kept these ideas a secret, but who cares? He was too proud to be angry.

"You keep going on and on like that, but can't you tell that she also made a lot of growth in her body so that she could defend us? She had wings larger than they were before that can cover the entire party just like I do with my shields." The happiness that Su had was entirely related to how Midnight could better defend from attacks. Keeping her from being harmed at all.

"Sister is still smaller than the royal dragons since they became dominator dragons. She is also smaller than the elder dragons. She is definitely stronger than the elder dragons now though. I bet she could give the royal dragons a surprise." Onyx's praise was enough to make midnight's eyelids flutter before she stood up taller than before and looked over.

Her eyes were a deeper shade of gold than what they had been before. She seemed to also feel more mana around Walker then she had before too. She could sense that he was able to easily weave manas together rather than just call on them. This was something that she had been able to sense before.

Air was pulled in to Midnight's mouth before she released a large roar shaking the mana all around them. It wasn't a roar of anger or anything negative, instead, it was announcing her growth. Showing the entirety of the world and Genesis that she had taken a larger step to becoming a true dragon champion than she had been before. That she had more than accepted and grown what she wished to be.

"You know, if you try and sit inside the mansion with that size, you will crush it now. I can't even call you my little sister any more. You're growing too fast." Walker stepped through the air and placed a single hand on midnight before she huffed a little and changed form. Her dragonkin form had changed too.

Now, she had slight black gold scales on her arms, but appeared much more human in a way. The horns on her head were more slicked back rather than forward pointing as well. Her wings were more developed and easily tucked behind her. She also had a taller height showing off a

more developed figure.

"Walker, you know that Lisa is going to be very glad to make Midnight new clothes. Especially since she has been waiting for Midnight to grow taller again. But I think we will need to think more of Midnight as the same age as us now." Su laughed a little seeing that midnight was almost taller than her now. Definitely a young woman rather than a girl.
