Master Of None

Chapter 2343: 2343. Ringing Mana



The howling sound shad only increased while Walkr moved. He began to push forward with another wind speed buff. The others behind him also felt that they were approaching a more dangerous situation.

Yet, they all understood that any little piece of information would be perfect for those who would come after them. This would become a land where there would be growth. Not only for those who harvested the plants and monsters from the dungeon but those who battled.

Every single person who came here would leave stronger. They would be able to handle the poisons of the world much better.

This fact was key. Not just because they might encounter dangers in life. It was because the world was changing.

Because the world was changing, that meant that any monster or herb that had poison or venom would be stronger. They would develop more over time. This poisonous jungle dungeon would be a great place to train the people who encountered those changes within the world.

On top of that, this was a haven for alchemical materials. They would be able to utilize every single thing brought outside of the poison jungle dungeon as a material for making antidotes. Specifically for certain poisons and venoms or for multiple of similar types.

"Watch those green pepper looking fruits. They are exploding tree fruits. They are actually full of small spiky poisonous seeds that burst out when the fruit is touched. They are that way to attract monsters to eat them." Walker had mentioned a few things as the group had moved. What not to touch and what they could touch. This was one of those situations.

With his all around appraisal always being used, Walker was easily considered the best guide for any new place. He didn't even have to know the location well or at all to be considered one. The bonus of saving more appraisal scrolls was also major. That was a business that just could not keep up.

The appraisal skills growing within Genesis and the entire Genesis alliance had sparked because of his all around appraisal skill. Many people could have a chance at gaining some form of lower appraisal skill if they used the scrolls made from his skill. But even more, there were classes that were coming with such a skill after a certain amount of training.

These appraisal skills were more specific and gave more specific information. Overall though, it was another way that every single kingdom would expand from now on. Knowledge of the world around them and all the changes happening within it.

"Walker, duck!" The shout was familiar and Walker knew that he was coming. A familiar whiz of an arrow flying above also proved that Walker had guessed it right.

"There are over forty of these howler wolves we found. They were attacking the vampire group and chased them to a deeper section of the poison jungle. The vampires are all guarded behind me. They are poisoned by some sort of venom from a ringing plant."

Neither sounded good. The howler wolf that had just been pierced by a wind arrow was still moving. Its eyes seemed to be dripping a little blood. Even more proof that something else was going on here. "They seem like they are poisoned as well. Have you seen anything odd?"

"What isn't odd?" Gil fired another arrow and wondered just how this monster was still moving. This was his fifteenth arrow to a vulnerable place of its body. "There are flowers that are making sound, the vampires who have some of the best poison resistance are poisonous, and these monsters are acting like undead zombies."

"They are not zombies!" Walker's shouts stopped a few of the light mages and healers who had come with them from trying to use their skills right away. He knew that they meant well, but they needed to reserve their mana and mana potions for when they needed them. The vampires would need healing right now. Especially if it was an undiscovered kind of affliction due to an odd plant type monster.

"Then what?" as Giol notched another arrow, Walker held his hand from letting it fly. Instead, Walker pointed out a growth of red on the back of the legs of the howler wolf.

"Rage mushroom

This mushroom is parasitic. It will land on furry creatures of any species. While it slowly waits for rain and sweat, it will grow smaller roots in to the host. After it has gained enough moisture, it will begin secreting a mucus that drives the host in to a rage.

This rage will cause all feelings of pain to cease. This is to force the host to throw the spore filled mucus around on to the things it attacks. Because of this, the mushroom can spread much more while also growing larger.

When the host eventually perishes, the rage mushroom will turn a vibrant red in an attempt to trick monsters to eat it or come in contact. Only a few monsters will intentionally seek them out to consume since they are immune to the rage inducing effects. Such as the jungle turtle...'

"Anyone that touches those red mushrooms or anything from them must be purified with light or healing magic. They are parasitic mushrooms that may infect you and make you full of rage. They will also make their host numb to pain. That howler wolf should be dead on the ground because of the pain, but it is just full of rage and does not even realize the depth of its wounds."

Everyone reacted differently knowing this. There were different ways to handle a situation. Knowing that a monster was acting like a normal monster, people would not be overly brutal. They would fight and kill it properly. They would not go overboard because they knew that it felt pain and would act in a way showing that.

This pack of howler wolves were not like this at all. They were numb. They could not feel pain. This was the very same as Barry when he used his berserk skill. He would lose his mind to a degree, if not entirely. He would not feel his injuries. He would fight until exhaustion. Just like these monsters would.

"We encountered one scouting. I assume it was from this pack and had yet to show any signs of infection. They will keep attacking so kill them without holding back." Walker's order was

instant.

Instead of the wind arrows, Gil notched an explosive fire arrow. The crack of flame that came next resulted in the body of the howler wolf falling to the ground missing its head entirely. The water mages with them had cast a skill to put a water veil over all of them and protect them from the remains flying through the air.

No one was holding their strength back. Instead, they had split themselves in to defensive positions and offensive positions. Those who would protect each other from the force of the major attackers like Gil. This was because it was the best way to deal with unfeeling opponents. Holding back would be an opening for these monsters to attack them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"We are rotating back to the main pack. The vampires are being guarded by the goblins. They may fall to the poisons as well. Be prepared." Gil ordered the movements of the elves and other soldiers. They knew that his plans were ideal since he had already scouted this area.

Having scouts and specialists with scouting skills was perfect. Walker did not even need to worry about mapping everything using his mana senses. Due to that, he started to keep track of where there were other howler wolves.

Marking them for Gil to attack through the trees with shadow arrows and sky piercing arrows. Both were able to shoot through multiple trees and obliterate their targets. Let alone move through the shadows since the shadow arrows had dark affinity.

"I can sense them, and I can hear that ringing now." Walker had heard the ringing. But it was not ringing that most people would call a bell. More like the mana itself was vibrating making people think that it was ringing.

The sudden stumble that Walker had proved he had no idea what was happening. It reminded him of when he had first heard a dragon's roar. The feeling of oppression. This was different though. Instead of oppression, it was like weakness moving through his entire body. "Is this debuffing us?" He looked and saw that the others also seemed confused.

Every single time they heard the bell chime, they all felt a little weaker. In response, Walker could only call out to his mana and use it to create a multi buff skill to resist the downsides of their situation. He had no choice but to do so since he noticed multiple howler wolves fighting each other and the goblin warriors here defending the fallen vampires.
