Master Of None

Chapter  2075. Mastery In Perfection

While some had seen Scylla use her full strength, not all of the genesis forces had witnessed it. Scylla had also not been as adept in using her mastery skill either. Had not been able to use it properly as she could. 
However, since that one time, she had trained herself much more. She had looked within herself to focus on the ancient scylla blood line she was named after. Doing so, had led her to many possibilities. 
The reliance on her other parts, the leviathans that were born at the same time as her who had all been united with her. They had been part of her since they were born and she them. This being the case, they were always with her, the closer the better. Because that was the only time that they were all feeling completed. 
Due to this, the leviathan blood and Scyllas' ancient blood had mixed better. They had shared this in a way to properly strengthen one another. Even battling against one another using their instincts to ensure that they were properly tempering their own bloodlines. 
This had awakened a closer bond with the water and wind elemental manas that Scylla had control of. This greater affinity had led to her studying of how she used it. Looking at the ancient records of what ways that the real Scylla had been rumored to use these manas as well. 
Every single bit of information had left Scylla changing even the way that she walked through the air. How she battled in the smallest of ways. How she focused on battling with opponents at both close combat and a distance. 
The leviathans were just part of her strength. They could attack as if they were limbs extending from her. And when using the mastery skill, they fused with her doing just that. Reaching out to chomp down or breath out vicious wind blades and water blades fused together. 
She had learned to su those two attacks without her mastery skill though. The leviathans able to fight better with the water and wind manas that they had control of. Beyond that, she had also focused on the very essence of what it meant to carry ancient blood. 
The legacy of a monster as powerful as Scylla had literally helped shape the world. That sort of power was something that most people would not witness. Yet, with the return of the dominator dragons, it was clear that strength like the ancient monster's was not lost. It was just forgotten. 
The domineering strength she had on a battlefield had never come from just her battle prowess. It also came from her blood and what it stood for. A being at the very top of the food chain. A monster without many equals able to counter it. 
That mentality created an aura of strength as Scylla focused her mana and chanted allowed. Walker had heard this chant before. He had witnessed the immense strength that Scylla had in this mastery skill form. But now, he sensed it much more clearly. 
The water and wind manas that gathered were literally purifying themselves. It was a clear sign that scylla was using much more precision while she altered her form following the mastery skill chant. 
There were even changes in her body size and the sizes of the leviathan that were taking their positions on her body. But greater so, were the hounds of water forming all around her and on the ground. They were larger. More defined. 
Each hound growled in a watery rough tone. Targeting the remaining corrupted undead that the Genesis forces were battling. This addition to their forces greatly changed the focus on battle from pushing the corrupted undead away to defeating them entirely. 
The places where Scylla saw that there were more powerful corrupted undead, she struck out. The leviathans breathing out compressed water blades that tore through the body of these enemies like nothing. She was even using powerful water and wind to cut out a large trench in front of where Alma had tossed seeds. 
This added defense was just an example of something that came from the strategic brains Scylla boasted as a general. Her ideal control of the ancient bloodline showing itself in this form. She was not allowing it to take the lead. She kept her intelligence which could have been lost through poor usage of this skill. It was a pure and perfect example of a battle hardened and disciplined general. 
"General Scylla has cleared the way from us and pushed the enemy away. Prepare the base now!" The roar from Genesis forces was inspiring. They all felt the power supporting them. They all understood the reason she had used this skill not. 
Scylla could not use this in the space of the restricted ruins. She had to use it now to clear and save manas and injuries of the genesis forces. Therefore, she was giving this her all. Corrupted undead being broken to pieces was just a small portion of that. Especially the worms that had recently appeared to trouble the soldiers below. 
The moment that Alma touched the edge of the beach, a burst of mana forward through the ground. The farmers began to act as well. They had similar systems and abilities. Why couldn't they help here at war too? 
While out of their norm, they were causing the seeds to sprout and grow yet again. The many vines and branches from these seeds criss crossing to create a toughened wall of wood and leaves. The elves jumped upon them immediately to begin firing arrows down from above. 
This wall of wood was also wrapping itself around the pieces of various corrupted undead. Trapping them from being able to rebuild their bodies. They were not able to be easily defeated, but now they were trapped so that those with the ability to defeat them once and for all could get to them in time. 
All this commotion did not go unnoticed though. The corrupted undead that had been dropped from the corrupted floating city were not all weak nor small. Some of the large ones had been dealt with already, but they weren't all gone. 
The more troublesome ones had managed to fall in deeper within the island and the ruins. This left them to be dangers that the Genesis forces would discover later. Now though, they had been lured by the sudden shaking of the ground and various large amounts of mana appearing in the beach. 
The was Why Walker was forced to send out a warning when he spotted a more troublesome enemy. A warning that went from Walker, to Onyx, then right to Scylla. She was in her strongest from, she could handle this threat while bolstering the morale of the entire genesis army. 
'Gluttonous whip serpent
This massive serpent is a very old monster now extinct from the world. Due to the changinges of the world, this monster could not receive enough nutrition to survive. However, its body was still discovered and stored within the ancient angel's floating city as a display, the fully dried scales and skin proving to be an educational portion of the display. 
Now infected with a large amount of corrupted mana and being brought back to life as an undead, the whip serpent became gluttonous. It is hungry but can not feel the prey it swallows within its stomach. This is causing it to rampage toward anything with powerful mana that it might be able to consume…'
Walker didn't need to focus on much else. He already knew that the appraisal had made its way to Scylla in more detail because Onyx had told her every word mentally. She was already targeting the enemy with her full force. 
The gluttonous whip serpent didn't miss this though. Its senses were very sharp regardless of the state of its body. This was a testament to how powerful it must have been in life. Even as it reared up to target Scylla who had decided to face it head on though, its senses screamed to retreat. Not that it had the mentality to do such a thing. It was told to rampage by the master that controlled it. 
That was how Scyllla managed to make contact with it. Her fish wreathed in intense wind and water mana at her larger size. The leviathans supporting her speed and usage of manas. 
The result was enough to cause an even greater shake and dispersal of manas. She had caused an insanely large crater to appear at the edge of the beach and treeline. The serpent completely shattered in to pieces. It couldn't even reform because the various water hounds created by Scylla's mastery skill were continuously attacking them. A vicious and brutal show of power. Walker was just glad that she was on their side.
