Master Of None

This song went on for some time as the musicians used all but the very last bit of their mana. Alice sang until the end of her song growing very pale but holding back just a little so she would not hit exhaustion. The high priest had been very firm not to let anyone pass out this time around. Some of the falling musicians had acquired slight injure and he refused to let them come to harm. "Walker now for a last huzzah." 

Walker released another healing wave which was equaled by the high priest using five healing pulses in a row. Those that were injured were visibly healing. The healers were amazed and had trouble focusing for a split second. The high priest had trained his whole life to be able to use this skill so fast in succession and with Walker's healing wave skill it came to the absolute peak of healing. Every single one of the barriers he had faced were finally broken, he was healing more people at a rate than he ever had before. 

Walker had no words to describe what he was seeing, it was as if a god had descended from  the heavens and used an unthinkable skill to heal people instantly. This was more than he had ever expected. Walker wondered why the high priest had not used this before but when he looked over he found that the high priest was in  his knees sweating and breathing heavily. This skill used in such a way was intensely painful on his body due to his age and the amount of mana forced out all at once. 

Walker used his own light healing skill on the high priest with his mana to offset the pain the high priest was feeling with the backlash of such a skill. The pale face of the high priest had a slight flush of color but his condition did not improve much. Alice came to his side with worry all over her face but she did not frown. She had seen just how many times he had practiced to reach this point and knew it was his proudest moment. 

The high priest himself slowly but surely recovered his breathing as the calming waves skill faded. Walker released another of the calming waves to keep assisting the healers still hard at work. There had been a massive shift in patients as the healers were bringing many to the back who had been fully healed and even started t get up. 

The nuns were examining those who had made full recoveries so that they could be sure everything was as it should be. There were very many people standing up and trying to get out if the cathedral to go and meet family. These people had been stuck with injuries to their legs of backs and were ecstatic to be up and moving. Seeing that there were many different families hugging and smiling Walker tried to find the little girl and her parents but was distracted again by the high priest.

"Alice go get me a high mana potion. I need to do something." She tried to protest but he made his face firm. "Trust me I will not be using the same skill as I did before." Her face was curious since she could not tell what he was thinking. "While she fetches that help me stand. I want your help a few more times, can you use that spell again?" 

Walker looked at his system and determined that using it two or three more times would be possible but he would most likely be passed out for a while. "I will; give it all that I have." His resolve was clear and the high priest knew that Walker would not go back on his word. 

When Alice returned the high priest took the high mana potion and drank the entire thing down. The color returned to his face and mana seemingly emanated from his body. "I have had a titled quest to unlock my mastery skill for twenty years. However I have never been able to use five healing pulses at once. Today I unlocked it and can use it once a month. I can't think of a better time. Please Walker, use your calming waves skill." 

Walker felt his heart beat quicken, he was going to witness a mastery healing skill while he helped the high priest. Alice immediately looked at the high priest in awe. He had never used a mastery healing skill and she finally knew why. All his hard work that he tried to hide from her due to fatherly worry had paid off. Walker released the calming wave sending it out yet again. 

"Alice watch your father show you what a mastery healing skill can do." He looked at her with a tear in his eye. This would be one of the happiest days in his life, an unforgettable moment. "Please hear me light of the world. I shall give you all that i have within my spirit as a gift so that you may allow those in pain to bask in your light. Come forth, domain of starlight healing." 

The roof of the cathedral turned pitch black along with the entire room. There were no sounds just darkness and silence. Walker was about to speak out but was caught by a faint glow in the darkness. There were an uncountable number of stars of all shapes and sizes popping up above them The light en-robed every single person there making their body glow with the pure innocent starlight. 

The healers that had been working were hands off as they saw that the light was healing as an extremely fast rate. The healing pulses looked like a beginner healing spell in comparison. There were shooting stars forming and rushing through the dark sky that was bare to them above. Walker felt that he was looking at endless possibilities, nothing but a small dot in an endless adventure. This thought brought tears to his eyes, he had so much more to explore and learn. 

The weight in his shoulder increased and he realized the high priest had used all of his mana. Grabbing Alice's attention the two laid the high priest down and used a few things to create a pillow. One of the healers nearby saw this and rushed to him to examine the high priest. "Just exhausted. I will use my mana transfer skill so he can rest easy. Just bring me to a cot after." The healer let a blue light radiate from her fingers before falling to the side and being caught by Alice. With Walker's help they placed her in a cot and returned to the high priest. 

"You father is really amazing isn't he." Walker had yet to call the high priest Alice's father. She rarely said anything and hearing it spoke made her tear up even more. Today was just that amazing of a day. The high priest was breathing slowly but with strength. The two knew that they didn't need to worry for his health but refused to leave anyways. 

"Alice I will most likely be joining those two with this last calming waves skill. I trust you." She looked at Walker worried but had heard what the high priest said before. Her nod was the signal to use the last healing waves skill. 

With the white wave leaving his hand Walker felt the sleep take him. The only thing he could think was  how beautiful the stars were as he closed his eyes. This was the most time sin  row he had ever used all his mana. The system was notifying him but he was already in dreamland. 

'The user had lost all of their mana multiple times within a certain period. The skill mana bank has been taken from the tree of life system. The skill mana bank has been learned automatically. 

Mana bank- 4 mana cost

The user is able to store away mana in their very body up to a certain point. For every four mana spent to store mana within the body the mana count will rise by one until the bank is depleted. The user will suffer consequences for storing more than their body can handle. The user does not require mana to take mana from their bank.' 

Walker would soon awake to this skill but he would have many other things to worry about first. Alice had been right there helping him when he had passed out. She rested his head on her lap happier than anything to see that she had met someone so willing to give their all to help others. The high priest had always taught her never to settle for anyone as a friend or more that was unable to dedicate their entire benign to help another. She had the feeling that she had finally found friends who could meet these high expectations.
