Master Of None

Walker couldn't fully understand what Ibis's words meant. He heard him trust Claras' protection to Barry and that he was retiring from the position. All of this made Walker assume that Ibis was going to die from his mastery skill usage. "Stop spacing out there and let's get the hell out of there." Barry grabbed Walker and carried him farther away from the battle that was about to happen. 

"But Ibis...he's going to die!" Walker yelled over the sounds of running. 

"Die? What do you mean? He is going to use his mastery skill. He will crush that monster." Barry wasn't sure what to do but saw that the other party members had seen him take away Walker towards the ice border wall and had come running as well. 

"Are we leaving? What's wrong? All of them seem to be passed out. Did we win somehow?" Gil was the least in the lop since he had been the farthest away. Midnight and the dragon golem were trying to figure out what to do and thought it best to return to Walker since he was the party leader. 

"Can you get rid of this damaged ice wall thin and make another two or three? The guild master is about to use his mastery skill. He may be a summoner and can control the light elemental summons but what he is about to summon will be a little too much." Barry had seen this skill only once before and he had never forgotten it. 

Walker wanted to ask many questions but when he felt the light elemental mana react he began preparing the ice border walls as asked after he caused the one that Su and Remey were on top of to melt and fall back to the earth. 

"Here, another mana potion. You need to focus on your mana loss more." Remey sounded like a nagging parent but she could tell that Walker was pushing himself to force the three ice border walls in to existence. 

"Vice guild master, what is happening? We could not hear all the details from the wall." Su was the one to ask Since Gil was still waiting as well. 

"The guild master is about to use his mastery skill. He summons light elemental creatures, yes, but when he summons this one it is a little intense. He uses all his mana and promises the creature his mana for a year. He will live for a year with only one mana and the monster he summons will protect the city for that year. It is an equal exchange but a dangerous one since it will only act against powerful foes like that thing over there." Barry pointed at Pride who truly looked like a demonic monster instead of a demon. 

"Then why did he say that he was entrusting Clara to you and that she was taking over as guild master!?" Walker had started the raising on the ice border walls. They rose and left the group on the back on with Walker still looking at Barry in exasperation. 

"He has wanted to retire for some time. He only wanted her to be ready. We can talk about that later. We need to be ready for this." Barry held the ax as if it were a shield. 

"If this will be as bad as Barry says then we need to be ready." Walker pulled Su's shields out from his storage and Su held her dual shields in each hand while the earth dwelling shield was put on her back. The dragon style golem opened its wings and covered itself making a dome to protect itself. Walkers' multi buff skill still protected everyone to some degree but the party and Barry moved behind Su. 

The light elemental mana surged away from where Walker was and the light elemental spirit looked panicked. It could feel the strength and control from whatever Ibis was doing and what was going to come. It would need to hide away itself to avoid what was going to happen. "Here we go," Barry spoke and they all heard Ibis's voice as if he were right next to them. 

"Hear my call. I use the light of the world to create your body. The will of my mana to form your will. The strength of this sun to bathe your body. I ask for your protection and offer you myself. Come from your dimension of light and protect the light of ours. I call upon you, lord of light, Gryphon!" Ibis raised his hands in the air as a massive light rune circle formed beneath him and a blinding portal of light opened. 

The cry of an unknown bird was met with a flapping of wings. The light elemental portal vanished leaving a massive white creature that shimmered in white. Barry couldn't help but speak of what he was seeing and had seen before. "It's just like last time. The talons that could cut through the darkest day. The body of a powerful lion blessed by the sun. The beak is strong enough to pierce the void. Feathers that shine like gems in the caves. That, is a pure light, griffin. The most powerful summon Ibis has access to." 

The griffin that Ibis summoned flapped its wings and came to stand in front of Ibis. "Ha! You feel the need to summon me against this weakling? I know you are old but I expected you to still have the strength to deal with this." The griffin spoke without moving making everyone confused but in awe. It was too powerful to ignore. 

"I had no choice great griffin. I was not able to shine bright enough in this old age and needed to call upon pure light such as yourself. Please assist this kingdom and bring the light to it." Ibis had learned how to respect such creaturs and properly asked for assistance. Unlike his other summons, he could not force this one to do his will.
