Master Of None

Chapter 2417: 2417. Hidden



Designing through the sky, Walker was making his way to where he had the report of one of the undead shifting slimes, he knew that the guards who had managed to find it would be struggling. Mostly because they had already begun to make noises from where they were.

The benefits of having better senses and being able to boost his hearing with wind mana magic manipulation allowed Walker to speed through to find that there was more to this than what he had expected.

"The thing isn't small like we were told!" The resounding crack was the armor of the guard who spoke benign broken.

The second crack was the breaking of the shield that the second guard had held.

"Call for more reinforcements, this thing has entirely taken over the body of this-"

Walker appeared as the third guard was knocked entirely to the ground and in to a nearby brick wall which also cracked. All three had been knocked down and were not looking very good. The two healers who had managed to identify this monster were standing unable to do much since they knew that their weak purification skills could not damage their opponent enough to be able to defeat it.

They were easy targets which made Walker stand between them first and forcefully start handling the manas around. The entire direct area was under his control just by his expending a large portion of his mana.

"Hehehe, you can't force me to be weaker like that. I have mana inside my body and I can resist the control of others. I am free to eat as I please!" The thing that had once been a demi- human with bull traits had clearly provided enough strength and nutrients for this undead shifting slime to take a much more powerful form than the other three reported.

Beyond that, Walker could see that the body had been consumed to just a shell for what it had once been. Meaning that the pieces of slime that were being used as braided and potent muscles were beyond the normal for any demi-human to use.

In the next moment, the wind cracked as Scylla and appeared nearby using more force than what she normally did. The entire ground where she had landed next to Walker had already cracked as well. But with her, had come even more pressure.

Walker had controlled the manas around but even against Scylla who was much older and had stepped toward her ancient bloodline even more since she had become properly whole, it was hard to maintain control.

That was fine though, Walker changed his focus on to protecting the guards appearing, healers, and the surroundings. He could get Scylla to force out this monster and get him more information.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The moment that she saw that walker was letting this be in her hands, Scylla ground her teeth peter and the water and air became very violent. She was going to tear this thing apart in every way possible using whatever forces she could wield so that Walker was able to see everything about this thing. That way, they could forcefully track and find the others. So they could eradicate them.

While Walker knew that he could have handled this and even tested different forms of mana on these seemingly it negligent monsters that could and would never develop to be a proper race, he saw different things than that.

The demi-human that had been killed by this undead shifting slime was one of Scylla's people. Those she lived to defend. Yet, one had been armed. No, one had been killed under her nose.

That deserved her wrath for all the time she could bring herself to spare on this monster. It deserved her full and brutal attention right now and as much as she could give. Walker being able to sue the all around appraisal over and over was just a benefit.

As wind and water formed on Scylla's hands as she and the smaller forms of the leviathans took battle stances, Walker began to use the all around appraisal skill over and over.

'Undead shifting slime

While this undead shifting slime developed using the musculature of the demi-human bull traits as a key, it is inherently weaker in using the hiding based mana manipulation skills as others of its kind... Using the nutrients of the body of its prey, this monster was able to greatly grow its size and also managed to split off pieces of its body to spawn new young indeed shifting slimes...

There are rarely any times the undead shifting slimes will remain together. This is because there have always been those that hunt them but are not their natural predators...'

Walker had ignored some pieces of already known information and focused on what he saw was new. Specifically when he got to the portion about things that hunted the undead shifting slimes. While the information about how it was weak to purification skills or other light based skills because it was an indeed, Walker was shocked to read more in to things that hunt them. 'The shifter race considered impossible to actually exist as a race is the prior form of these undead shifting slimes. As any living version of an undead species, they have hunted those that perished and became nothing but part of these monsters who refused to become their own separate race and multiply through cutting portions of themselves off as if they were slimes and not living beings.

While rare that an undead shifting slime is born from the body of the shifting race, it does happen causing the birth of powerful undead shifting slimes often followed by the weaker isolated ancient monsters born from other shifting slimes...'

That was it right there. The portion of what he saw and what shocked him. He knew he could hunt them by following the mentions of decaying mana building up in layers of the shadow, and also in the fact that they preferred to remain in the darker portions of the landscape since they disliked the light.

But learning about how they came to be and how they were part of a race hinted at and theorized to exist but also thought not to exist? That was something larger.

If there were suddenly multitude of these things here, thes monsters, then would it not make sense that one of these hidden race, shifters, have died within the city and caused these undead shifting slimes to come knocking?

Scylla tore apart the undead shifting slime exposing three small cores that appeared to rotate together. One small and perfectly gray which held a little death mana, another larger and black holding potent decaying dark mana, and then another with a white and gray hue that held the undead mana that was the real core of what these things were.

"Good, you found out that they can't survive without a balance in their cores and that they are emitting all three of those manas at once even though they can change the form of their slime bodies to be able to replicate what they consumed to some degree. They will be hard to fight since they can strengthen their offenses or defenses but we have hunters that we did not hire looking for them too."

Walker knew that if these things were hunted by the shifting race, he would just have to look for odd things that were not smelling like decay or hurting others. He could just look for those that hunted them and hit themselves from the world for what could have been centuries. Even if they were few and far between, one had died here and the remains were being hunted by its

own kind.

It was like a lamp lit in the middle of the night. Everyone would notice it even from a distance. Meaning that this ancient undead shifting slime monster could be dealt with. Then, the establishment with a hidden race that had most likely been part of the world for years and years might be achieved as well.

He would make that happen. "You have the connection and feeling of their manas then?" Scylla knew what that meant. She knew that with the mana sensation that Walker had, she could make sure that he hunted every single monster that harmed the people of Genesis. "I do and all I need is some other mages to help me focus my sense on only those three." The reason Walker wanted other mages was to help him cut down on the mana cost used when covering all of Genesis territories in such specific and potent mana sensing skills. He could draw manas in to himself to use. But that would end with him using all his mana and not properly searching. A joint gathering was perfect to get the job done, and leave him mana to

hunt as well.

"Tell everyone that I am doing thai. Let anyone who is ready to help come to me." He also knew this would attract this hidden race to him too.
