Master Of None



'Vampire spawn; shadow walker

This is a monster that the monstrous vampire corrupted when they also became a monster instead of following the natural flow of their own race. This would normally be one of their vampire kin, a turned vampire from a sentient race that would follow and serve them. 

However, the monstrous change caused the shadow walker to become mentally unstable aand fall in to madness. They also were forced to fuse with the darkness mana within their body and become partly made of shadow. 

This made them incredibly closer to the darkness mana and able to control their shadow as a weapon and another extension of their body. However, damage to their shadow will also harm them. This drawback is why it is a very dangerous and taxing process. Only a true shadow walker would be able to do so without any dangers and mental damage. It would often take over sixty years of training to do this. 

While the loyalty to his master is still rodent, the monstrous side had driven that loyalty to obsession. Due to this, many twisted and evil cats can be done without a second thought. The brutality of this monster is alo massively increased making it exceptionally dangerous to face. 

To properly counter it, magical damage to the shadow and physical damage is recommended…'

Walker wanted to read more for the all around appraisal. There was so much information about what a vampire spawn was and what a shadow walker was. The information could be invaluable to everyone while they were fighting such beings. It would also be invaluable after they had completed the battle. 

Unbfrotuanlty, shadows whips were reaching out of the ground and striking at every member of the party. Midnight was defended by Su who easily deflected them with her light shield skill. The skill proved to weaken the direct damage the shadow whips tried to inflict, but still pushed her back a few feet, which in turn, caused midnight to brace Su's back so that they did not slide too far. 

"Remey, get close to that monster and try to break its face." The rough words from Walker only made Remey grin in a slightly maniacal way that said she would gladly like to punch something in the face. She was an alchemical brawler, she liked alchemy and punching equally. 

"Su, guard Gil and Midnight while they attack from range. Midnight, regain your mana while Gil handles the ranged attack. I will start to cut away those shadows." Walker had a plan in mind. He knew well that they had to damage the physical and shadow side of this monster before them. 

This thing might be a butler of sorts. However, he was not kind and welcoming in any way. His obsession brought on due to becoming a monster controlled by another clearly made him a terribly dangerous threat. The shadows he used would be hard for anyone but the party to counter right now. The only other person that would handle him better would be Mordant, but he was occupied with one of the titan vampire bats which could cause even greater dangers if left alone. 

The speed that Remey dashed out was surprising. She deftly dodged the shadows whips that reached out from the ground and around the butler's own shadow. She easily showed off the speed that came from her training and recent changes while becoming a unique existence within the world right now. 

Remey's fist jabbed out trying to hit the body of the butler only to be dodged. It was easy to see that the butler knew that he had to dodge the first covered in light ash wood gauntlets or else he would be damaged severely. 

Meanwhile, the shadows continued to lash out constantly. It was easy to see how many people would perish to this monster. The shadow whips acted like they were an entirely different being controlled without much through from the butler. 

As the shadows whipped up and tried to strike Walker, he conjured up flames all around them. The ice dragon domain skill long ago released to conserve more mana for this singular opponent. Not to mention the fact that all those enslaved vampires that he had trapped would still remain so with the dense ice and stone he hand manipulated to hold them in place. 

Where things seemed dangerous was when Remey had to dodge the attacks. Every time she tried to make a combination of jabs and heavy punches, she would find that the shadows wrapped the butler's hands and claws. It allowed him to increase his range of attack and force him back. 

This left only a small window for Gil to fire an arrow which was also blocked by the shadow whips coming around the butler. It acted as part of his body but also as if it had eyes elsewhere. "Su, keep things safe, I found the source of trouble for us." Gil smirked with a victorious tone in his voice. 

This open courtyard would be easy to handle if someone was looking down and telling thai butler how to fight them. It was easy to see all their movement. So understand how to dodge Remey's fists and also block Gil's arrows without turning a head. 

When Gil looked up, he saw a single strand of dense shadow. This had crawled up the wall and held out to look over the entire courtyard. In the center of it, was a singular eye. None of the party had noticed that as part of the butler's shadow walker abilities and fusion to the shadows, that he had created another eye. 

As a monster, this shouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. Especially since he was a race that was turned monster. Not a natural monster that the world recognized as a part of its flow. With his eyes opened to this, Gil used his skill to fire arrows rapidly. Remey had already been forced a few steps back to defend the shadow claw strike that was used against her. 

With four arrows hurtling toward the butler, shadow whips had to be forced upwards to defend. But the fifth arrow had not gone with the first four. Gil had waited to the last second and changed his focus. The fifth arrow fired upwards at a much faster pace. It had been boosted by wind mana. 

The sudden pain from a light ash wood arrow piercing the shadow eye boosted by wind mana caused the shadow whips to suddenly freeze. The pain was not normal for the butler. He had never been beaten like this or ever felt such pain since taking on the new form as a monster. He could not allow himself to fall though. 

The sudden freeze in attacks let Remey close the gap. Her combination of punches delivering severe damage to the butler. When the first punch landed, the shadows started to whip out trying to do anything that they could to defend the main body that was also being struck. contemporary romance

Walker was prepared for this though. He had seen what Gil had done. He was proud to see that Gil's sharp eyes were already working perfectly. That as a hunter, Gil knew exactly what the source of their issues had been here. 

Therefore, Walker created more purifying light flames and began to pour them out along the ground. They interacted with the shadow greatly overwhelming them and forcing the retreat toward the main body of the butler. 

These combinations of attacks caused the butler to be unable to defend from the next punch and then the defense breaking punch following that one up. This further caused more destruction to the inside of the butler's body before Walker tossed a small ball fo white purifying flames that hit Remey's gauntlets. 

She clashed her hands together and brought down a heavy hammer stroke on the head of the butler. This spread the flames out all over his body and direct shadow. 

The shaking of the shadows ceased instantly as the devastating force of Remey's attack had more than done its job. Walker quickly extinguished the flames he had tossed in the gauntlets since Remey was conserving her own flames for the right timing. But regardless of that, they all watched the powerful monster burn to ash leaving nothing behind. 

They could all only be amazed by the oddity that came with the way that vampires existed and what happened when they lost their recognition as a race and became monsters. It was similar to so many other races who had forsaken their own race. But this wasn't the end. Now the party could only walk through the main doors of the vampire castle. They could only leave the courtyard behind to face the next and worse threat within.
