''The skill harpoon stance has been taken from the harpoon fisherman system. The user has been taught by an experienced spear user that has learned the proper stances to throw an urate harpoon. This has allowed the user to learn the skill harpoon stance.


    Harpoon stance- 1 mana cost


    The user is able to use a single mana to reinforce their stance while wielding a harpoon. This will make them naturally have a better handle on the weapon while also making their senses more focused on using the harpoon. The user will also have a better chance of pulling their harpoon back to them after hitting prey.''


    Walker saw the skill after the tenth throw of the harpoon. He had been using his throwing spear skills but not focusing on any stance in particr. However, Leon had beenmenting on how to adjust his throws. How to be more urate and better throw the harpoon overall. This is what had spurred the skill showing up.


    "Huh, I just got the harpoon stance skill. It only costs one mana to use at first which isn''t too bad." Walker mumbled to himself mostly but also intended for Leon to hear it.


    "Really? That means you are doing it right. I have a simr skill but specific to spears. But since the harpoon can be used as a spear, It still works. I thought you would just get a spear skill but harpoon stance is better. You will fit in on ships even better now." Leon found it a little funny that Walker always seemed to fit right in everywhere. It was like he was bing a different system user every time he changed where he was in the world.


    "So how many is that?" Walker looked at the dragonkin warriors who were pulling up another swift salmon. For monsters that had relied on their speed and agility, Walker was not impressed. Leon had urately attacked so many with just a single piece of bait.


    "I know you are thinking that these are not a challenge. But you should have seen some of the things I have caught. You should try and capture one of the barnacle lobsters using a harpoon. It is a tough battle since they do not get defeated with one harpoon. They also have water jet attacks. I miss fighting the small ones while watching the warriors take on arger one." Leon seemed to be thinking back a lot.


    "So this is more nostalgic for you than for food. I think it''s nice to have a hobby like that." Walker had no intention of showing that he had caught on to why Leon was fishing. He wasn''t after food at the end of the day but rxing and thinking back on pleasant memories.


    "Walker!" Remey came up behind and nearly dragged Walker away. This left Leon to continue fishing by himself. "We have been waiting for you forever! And you were just over here throwing around harpoons?" Remey had been the first on the top of the ship to wait for everyone. Now she was the one who had to get everything together.


    "I was distracted and learning spear fishing with harpoons. It was a lot of fun plus I have a new skill."


    "If you even breathe you get a new skill. It''s not that surprising anymore. What is surprising is that Gil already has a dragonkin with a bow and harpoon arrows." This was more surprising. Walker got new skills all the time but Gil rarely made new things that weren''t arrows or for the elves. So having a dragonkin warrior wielding a bow was different.


    "Remey, you didn''t tell him, right? Let me, Walker! Check out the dragonkin archer!" The dragonkin that was with Gil was one of Mordant''s dragonkin warriors. They had the same darker armors and daggers on their hips. But holding therger bow that had been made from the same metals the group had helped forge before showed that it was specially made for darkness affinity.


    "The bow was made with braided wires to make sure that it had enough force and strength. The runes on it are darkness runes and even the harpoon arrows have some darkness runes. That means that they can move even faster when figured in the shadows or anywhere with high darkness elemental mana. After adding the darkness elemental crystal we were able to give them a slight decaying effect too." Gil was ranting about it but Walker was actually impressed.


    ''Dark steel bow


    +6atk, +6matk, darkness gathering runes


    The dark steel used was perfect for gathering darkness elemental mana. The careful choices in metals for braiding when creating the bowstring proved to be beyond the current realm of bow making and crossbow making. It is strong enough to be wielded by powerful warriors and not break.


    The arrows fired by this weapon must be stronger to be able to handle the force. The arrows will also gain a slight darkness elemental coat upon them when used properly. The bow can transfer darkness elemental mana from the user to the arrow to increase effects.''


    "That bow sounds like it can deliver a pretty solid punch." Walker had topliment the bow. It has a very solid ck steel aesthetic that made it perfectly fit the darkness affinity dragonkin''s style. There was also an aura of darkness mana around it that made it clear that the runes were doing more than just looking pretty. They were there for a reason.


    "Alice said she needed to work on the healer''s quarters since they might have to do a lot of work when the others arrive. Trading supplies and such. So she isn''ting. Onyx is with Midnight in another group that already headed to the beach. That leaves Myself, Gil, Remey, and you to head to the further beach and investigate." Su refocused the group as soon as Gil had finished his excited rant about bows.


    "Thank you for the update. I think we can get that beach done fairly quickly. But I am guessing that there are crab monsters of some sort on the beaches and that''s why Gil wants to test the bow with our dragonkin friend here?" Walker could tell that this was the hard shelled monster they would have to test such a weapon on.


    "Lord, my lord has instructed me to be the first to test this weapon. I am different from the others who follow the silence and assassination skills that you would call a rogue or wild card. I have rtions to rangers'' in my skills." The dragonkin knew that Walker might be questioning why he would be the one to be trying out this new bow.


    "So you do more scouting and hunting than you do guarding. That would make sense. You can do a lot of the same thing but you have your own role. And I assume that since there were never many bows that could handle your strength, that you are excited to have one?" Walker saw the affirmed nod and felt that it was good to make some small assumptions now and then.


    "Now that you three are done catching up, Su and I are leaving. Catch up!" Remey dropped down a rope on the side of the ship toward the boat that was waiting for them. They were not the only group going from the mouth of the river to the shore. Another patrol team made up of dragonkin and mages were with them but would be spreading out.


    The three moved to catch up and get on the board quickly. They had to help paddle to get to the shore after all. But Walker knew that this would take a little more time than he wanted. Therefore, he started to manipte some of the water elemental mana and sped up their journey to the beach. "It really helps to be able to use water magic." Gil felt like Walker had cheated but also had a pretty happy expression knowing that he hadn''t had to paddle as much.


    "Should we look along the treeline more too? I think we will find better herbs growing there than in the sand. There aren''t many things worth keeping in the sands." Remey didn''t like the beach because the herbs in the sands were not a good quality to find. They didn''t receive much in terms of nutrients.


    "Shouldn''t you have a more open mind? You might find something interesting in the sand. It''s where all the shells and coral washes up. I bet something is useful to you." Gil tried to be positive but he had just started another fight with Remey without him realizing it.


    "Oh, all might archer Gil, tell me about alchemy since you seem to know all!" Walker and Su could only shake their heads as they realized they might have to deal with this the entire time.
