Master Of None Chapter 187
Advertisement
Su was stuck, she was wearing herself down more and more while her opponent didn't seem to be slowing. On the contrary, her opponent seemed to become even more ferocious. The attacks from her opponent's tail were trying to reach behind her and avoid her shield completely. Su was trying her best to back step and turn but the speed of her opponent's tail was well beyond her own speed. The scorpion trait demi-human took advantage of this, unleashing a flurry of strike with her tail. The speed was much faster than Su had every battle against, the strikes hit her armor missing her shield, she was completely off balance. Seeing this her opponent took advantage and thrust their large clawed hand forward. Reaching well past her shield and other hand it stopped open on Su's neck. The battle was stopped immediately by Scylla who named the scorpion trait demi-human the victor.
Su dropped to her knees barely able to catch her breath, she faced her complete opposite, speed without restriction. She was pushed to her absolute limit trying to block every attack and was completely outmatched, she needed to get stronger. She needed to be the fastest defender possible so not a single strike could get past her. The medics came to check on her and assist her out of the arena, she only had minor wounds but had exhausted all of her energy, she was required to rest immediately. She wanted to see Walker's fight but she had already started to fall unconscious from exhaustion.
Walker was without a weapon, every time he reached for an earth sword he found that it was already covered in his opponent's slime. His strategy to have a weapon always within reach was flawed. Having no choice but to switch things up he held his hand behind his back to hide his spatial magic inventory. The Throwing knife was taken out and he hurled it at his opponent.
'Skill knife throwing has been taken from the performer system. Would the user like to learn the skill knife throwing?'
Walker ignored the system not needing the distraction. His opponent was surprised by the throwing knife but not by much, they easily sidestepped the single knife moving directly in to Walker's raised hand. His opponent had no idea why Walker was attacking without a single weapon or even a fist clenched. This kid had completely given up was the only possibility. Walker pulled the ax from his inventory which appeared in to his open hand, clenching the handle he swung downward.

'Skill chop has been taken from the woodsman system. Would the user like to learn the skill chop?'
The system went ignored again as the blade of the ax came down on the slug trait demi-human, he used his arm to block it causing a severe gash to be made. The white of bone and flowing blood was enough to cause the opponent to retreat to a safe distance while grumbling and using a large amount of their sticky slime to force the wound to stop dripping blood. Walker saw this and pushed forward, winding his arm back he threw the ax aiming for his opponent who was still trying to stop the bleeding. This attack did not go unnoticed and his opponent dropped flat top the ground as the ax brushed past their head. When they looked back up Walker was pulling a long spear from his inventory and thrusting it toward them. His opponent rolled to avoid four quick stabs barely keeping distance.
' Skill quick stab has been taken from the spear man system. Would the user like to learn the skill quick stab?.'
Again the system was ignored, Walker was facing down his opponent that had rolled on to their feet holding their arm with gritted teeth. They threw slime directly at Walker who blocked it with the spear unfortunately causing it to follow the path of the swords and become unusable. Wanting to end this fast before Walker pulled another weapon out of nowhere the slug trait demi-human charged forward, their hand full of sticky slime ready to smack Walker to the ground. Unfortunately, Walker was not done, the scythe appeared in Walker's hands. With a twist the blade was rushing toward his opponent, naturally, there was no way to stop the momentum they had built up. Walker used the crescent moon skill sending a slash of energy at his opponent's legs.
Walker's opponent had turned extremely pale, they had no way to dodge, no way to block, and no way to stop the terrifying crescent shaped attack from destroying their legs. Within an instant Scylla appeared holding a small black fan downwards, the crescent moon landed and dispersed into a gust of wind. Scylla had just stepped in to end the fight herself. "The victor is decided!" her shout brought the crowd in to an uproar of cheering. They had all witnessed amazing spatial magic and the term weapons master was being said over and over. "No need to lose some legs, how will you train if you need to rest for some months. Very interesting young emissary." Scylla said these things to Walker's opponent and then to him. She had moved faster than a blink of an eye and stopped Walker's attack without a single bit of resistance. That was the strength of one of the four generals of Ordist.

Walker's opponent was stone faced, Scylla had just said he was about to lose his legs, if Walker had aimed higher then they would have been split in half. Walker himself was trying to push himself out of his stunned state, he was still trying to make sense of the strength Scylla had. He had almost lost complete sight that he was just named the victor of his group. Looking about he found the other three victors stood tall as the audience cheered, Walker had finished up his battle last. Scylla had returned to the middle to patiently allow the young warriors their time in the spotlight.
Walker looked upwards at the king's balcony, Gil and Remey were going wild cheering for him. Even the king gave a wave down to the four of them. Having started to calm down, attendants came out to lead the four back out of the arena, as they left Scylla was giving an ending announcement.
The winners of this tournament however quickly it was put together were supposedly going to be given a huge opportunity. The second that the news had reached the king that emissaries from the Crystal kingdom had arrived he gathered as much information as possible, The rumors and gossip came flowing in about how fast the Omnipotent party had jumped up the tiers in the adventures guild. On top of that they had also had a very fruitful adventure to the ancient ruins, bringing back a heavy amount of knowledge and defeating many enemies. This was all besides the fact that they all instantaneously gained the hero title, even the monster in the party had! The king had issued an order to his general, they utilized their soldiers to notify the most promising talents at their age and put together a small one day tournament. This allowed the king to see what the Crystal kingdom had raised, also what those new title holders could do. The two kingdoms may not have any ill intentions between the two but having more information on the other was still useful.
Seeing the completion of his little plan he told the party members with him to follow to the room they had first met in. He wished to speak to them now that they had all done battle. Walker was led away from the other three back to the king's room to find everyone waiting. Su was led in just a moment before him and was being asked millions of questions by Remey and Gil who had been worried about her. They had no idea how adept Su was at using two shields in battle and they had all been amazed by it. "Su we are definitely getting you new shields". Walker's words offered a greeting and also a promise, as the leader of the party he had let her down by not even considering that Su as a shield bearer could dual wield shields. Most defenders would not choose to do so due to the weight, but if they could make two lighter shields Su would double her blocking ability.
Su herself was a bit embarrassed hearing that Walker was already planning to do more for her, she had lost yet she was still being praised. "Remey that armadillo got crushed, you need to use your palm skills more, they are insane!" Walker wanted to encourage her since she would understandably be unhappy with the results of the battle. But if she was convinced to use them more often her flexibility in battle would greatly increase. Remey hit him in the shoulder a bit softer than usual but he could tell he had made the right move. Walker really wanted to pick Gil's brain on what he had spotted by observing but at the moment he had to focus on king Rorick.

Petmaster Evolutions
This is a story about an ordinary earthling that sees the impossible and because of that gets kidnapped and introduced the the system called Odyssey which infects planets with mana to create monsters. This story will follow his journey through his trials. I do not believe in overpowered so I will not allow the MC to get to god mode. Since I started writing, the story has evolved some from chapter 1 on through as some stuff just did not make sense and in my mind the story has become clearer. Eventually I will have to go back and edit the beginning chapters to match the rest of the story but I do not have time at the moment. I will update as often as possible but I work full time, school full time, and have a 18 month old and an infant. I make no promises on time between new chapters. Honestly I did not expect people to follow the story and I just wanted to write for the fun of it and to see how the story that was running around in my head came out. I appreciate all of you who take the time to read my story and help me make it better by pointing out any mistakes I make. The only editing and proofreading I manage to do is the word app Grammarly so I miss things sometimes.
