Master Of None



The Fel angels that were prepared to fight were still caught by the storm's presence. They had not expected it to this degree. They were watching many different things occur. The sands being torn up and thrown away. The pieces of ancient stone being torn from where they had been placed and thrown away toward the dunes. They also witnessed a few unfortunately undead reduced to broken pieces, but that actually increased their morale about their current battles. 

What they had also not expected, were the forces from Genesis being so organized and prepared. They saw Ethan and recognized him as a leader within the Fel empire. He was someone that had been sent to deliver supplies before. They knew this and had communicated with their leaders enough to have this understanding. 

The supplies had made Ethan and his team of soldiers well respected. This was their link to life. But when the Fel empire angels had heard that a new group from a different place entirely was coming to help, they had been very skeptical. Especially since there was mention of Rize empire angels being allowed to come. 

This was something that put them on edge until they heard that two storms would collide and it was planned to be sent toward them. This made it feel that the new force and the Rize empire were working to cause problems. But the communication through magical means had been enough to tell them that there would be a sand tornado created specifically to destroy the enemy and prepare them for an attack on the ruins. 

It was an odd and outlandish plan. Yet it also made it sound like there were forces that would be joining them that were much more powerful than they had ever known. Alone, they would wonder what was actually happening in this regard. But together, they saw the strength that was radiating from the dragons as they approached. Pure elemental strength that the Fel angels had discredited before they had actually seen it. 

Their research and battle had not placed them in a position to understand these foreign beings. Let alone the fact that there were many races that the Fel empire angels had not seen. It was odd and made them all wonder just what were these traces and what strength they had. But when they saw that they followed younger people as well, it brought about even more questions. Yet, these questions were all already answered by the communications they had received. The information as all coming together as they saw the impossible sand tornado and the forces they never imagined. 

Walker, on the other hand, was looking at many things. He saw the unique systems and weapons of the Fel Empire soldiers. He was watching their movements and how they acted when seeing the ruins be destroyed to some degree. While they were not witnessing the entire destruction but only a beginning attack, they were watching what the dragons were capable of to a degree. 

"Your supplies have arrived!" Ethan called out to the Fel empire soldiers and a few came forward. One was clearly the highest of ranked angels there. He was not an archangel, but from the feeling that Walker got from him, he was definitely nearing the level required to be one. It was very similar to the archangel that he had met at the embassy. 

"These are the Genesis and the Rize empire forces who have come to assist us. The storm will be allowed to rage on while we plan the attack. We want to begin it before the sun sets. It may be only a few hours…" Ethan had seen that the day had been going on more and more. The Fel angels reacted with seriousness hearing this. It meant that the planning phase would be done and over within an instant compared to how long the night would actually go on when it fell. 

"Then I will prepare for the meeting. Soldiers, guard the dune and watch the ruins. Anything that changes is to be reported as soon as possible. Speak with the soldiers here and gather the supplies appropriately. Make your battle preparations!" the order from the powerful angel that spoke with Ethan went out and the Genesis forces also acted since they already knew what to do. 

Meanwhile, the royal dragon, Walker's party, and a few of the more powerful soldiers followed them toward the Fel empire tent that was set up for battle planning. The tent was full of maps made of the immediate area but there were a few angels within that were clearly upset. They had been the ones to make these maps which were now forced to be altered due to the massive sand tornado which was rapidly losing strength outside. 

"We are here to discuss battle tactics. I will not apologize for ignoring basic courtesy, but this is not the time. We are about to battle. We might proceed." While the dragons didn't care to learn about the names of these angels, Walker's party would have preferred to meet them. But the angel was right. They had to go to battle. There was not a little bit of time to waste with casual conversation. 

"That's fine, we have some information from my all around appraisal skill. This palace is a grave made for the slumber of over ten thousand beings. They condensed their blood in to crystalized bones and they are fanatical worshippers of death. The population of this place was once high until famine. That means that these monsters have some intelligence but were lost to their beliefs. They used the small amount of ancient dragon blood to push their beliefs too. Their god is also regarded as a false death god. It means that they may be a little worse than we imagined." 

Since Walker had so much information from his all around appraisal skill, he shared it immediately. This made a lot of the angels that were within the tent stop what they were thinking about entirely. They had not found any information about such things. They lacked the all around appraisal skill but had appraised other things in other ways. Now that they did have such information, they understood the degree of dangers. 

"We will be pushing the storm to end sooner than later. The sun will set while we build a perimeter. The undead are lesser in the day so we can battle them appropriately." Walker knew this would be the plan regardless of his input. Therefore, Mordant stepped up next. 

"As the sun sets, myself and others will enter using darkness related skills. We will scout every potential entrance and find ways for a small and powerful force to enter. They will be using condensed light, healing, and whatever other means possible to find the slumbering undead. They will eradicate them and hopefully find a way for more forces to enter the buried ruins." Mordant spoke and the Fel angels felt the serious force he was releasing as a royal dragon. 

"Now, I understand you may also have some scouts, they will fall under myself and my dragonkin to be able to learn and find more. That is not up for debate. I am more specialized in this than any one of you." The Fel angels didn't even doubt this. It was just a feeling. 

"From there I will use my mana to crush any undead that I can get a sight on. Especially when I have a path. They will be purified and defeated. I can not let the light see them unless I can see them myself." Rise spoke with a high standing tone. She was clearly ready to use the mana she had been forcefully gathering since she appeared within the desert. The high amount of light mana she gathered could not be looked down on in any way. It was similar to the high amount of mana that Onyx had also gathered. It was why he was still resting. 

"That means that the Rize empire angels will also be joining us. Their specific light elemental skills will help us immensely. But Alice will be pushing in with us. She is a songstress with a small amount of angel bloodline. Enough that the Rize Empire light elemental hall wants her. I recommend that the light affinity angels stationed here join her." For Ethan to speak so highly of someone else made every angel open their eyes more. The Fel empire knew of the Rize Empire elemental halls and their beliefs in them. Therefore, they knew this was a large statement. 

"Now, the genesis forces need to know where you will all fit in here. What you can do. I have not been here for some time and will not force my will on you." Ethan pointed to the powerful fel angel and looked for answers. It was only right to let him explain their strengths now that they had been fighting for some time.
