The small portion of her arm that was coated in the reflective and mud armor was still a tiny thing. Terron saw that su had only just melded the skill. However, she had directly fused the earth and ice that she had around her to do it. Not just that but she had also directly taken the mana she was offered and deflected one of his attacks with it.


    Was Terron using weaker hits? Yes, that was how someone trained a new skill. The attacks couldn''t be full force at once. However, he looked at the frost heave armor Su had just proudly announced and mmed his tail at her harder.


    The skill shattered and chinks of frozen mud fell away from Su''s arm. "Break it again and again until you do it perfectly. I want to see metal and diamonds on that armor with ice. I want to see it better!" Terron''s shout was enough to rock the room around them. It seemed to vibrate with the metal of the ship and even made Current wince slightly.


    "Now we are really going to see what can happen." Walker heard Current''s mumbling and understood exactly what Terron was doing. He was making diamonds. He was going to pressure Su beyond her limits to see what she could do now that she had grasped the feeling of a new skill. He wanted to see what apleted version of this frost heave armor skill would be.


    A skill that adhered to Su''s skin and over the armor she already wore. That was what she had done. When she saw the skills Terron showed her, she had decided that she wanted it. When she saw and heard the skill that Current had, she wanted it too. But Su didn''t want to be the same as other draconic guardians.


    Su knew that Midnight and Walker were very unique. She trusted that they would always be standing out against others, even against her whenpared. Now she had to stand out too. And to do that, she had to make these skills that had gone unchanged for years her own skills. To do that, she had to steal the fusing of elemental mana that Walker and Midnight were already doing.


    In this, Su had grasped the idea of a skill that would cover her skin and make her amor. That way she would be able to fight the people she wanted to fight with all her force. Thebined resistances of her skills, passive resistances, and armor would push her to a whole new level. A whole new battle style that would keep allowing her to fight beyond where she was in terms of level. That was what the party did. They fought enemies that were well above what they should be fighting.


    Current let a little of his purer water elemental mana mix with the denser water elemental mana that walker had gathered. He did this for one reason, curiosity. Current wanted to see just how strong Su would be. He had been the first royal dragon to actually see these heroes, this new royal dragon. He had every right to see more. He flowed with the situation and wanted to flow in to something unknown.


    This addition let Su grasp water elemental mana much better. Especially since she could sense that Walker was pushing more mana toward her as well. She could feel it in every single beat of her heart. Walker was synchronizing himself with her so that they could better focus on the usage of mana. It was like being handed all the tools for the job she was doing the exact moment she needed it.


    She was sure that Walker was using more skills than it appeared. Su was also sure that Walker was getting closer to being able to fully give over mana from and made by his own body to someone else. If Walker could do that, it would be the perfect healer''s and supporter''s skill called mana transnt. It was something very highly valued by the church since it was so rare. But if Walker managed it, he could literally give someone all the mana he had. And with how much mana he had…it would be major.


    Ignoring these distracting thoughts, Su grabbed hold of the feeling she had before. She forced the water and earth together again. She made the water form in to bnced ice crystals within the mud that came from around the ship so that it bent around her.


    The gaps in her armor were the most focused. She wanted to cover every small weakness that she had. Instead of just focusing on her arms likest time, Su made her entire body the focus. Before, she had just attempted to make the skill cover a small pce. That was the level of her understanding.


    The reason that was her focus was theck of understanding of how the two elemental manas wereing together. Now, she had more elemental mana and a feeling. The sense of the two forming together was rooted in her and Su was not letting it go. That was why she focused on a thinneryer of frost heave armor around her entire body with a hyper focus on the weak points of the armor.


    Current and Terron saw this and both grinned at the same time. This jump in understanding was why they wanted to push. Why they were both attracted to Su and how things were progressing. Naturally, Walker was also enjoying this. He could feel the changes in the mana and how Su was influencing them. He was also gaining a lot of understanding when it came to the fusion of earth and water, especially the form change of water to ice within earth.


    It was a lot like his skills that made water and ice flow. But the addition of earth made much. It was a lot harder for things to travel through mud than just in water. However, when mud became ice, the earth would literally shift. That was why certain roads were harder to travel in the winter. The frozen mud altered the stonespletely. Walker was able to better understand this as he watched Su.


    The next attack from Terron was still harder than thest attack. It cracked and shattered the armor again. This time though, the fallen pieces were already being pulled back toward Su. a sheen of silver had grown around them that was reflected but eh small ice crystals within the armor she made.


    These were signs that the steel skin skill was being mixed with the skills that Su had. It wasn''t just that she had made a new skill entirely, she was proving that she was showing off more than that here.


    Since Terron felt this, he motioned at Walker. With the same motion, a wave of dense earth mana fell toward him. This was all controlled and directed by Walker as Terron attacked Su in a flurry of tail whips. Current followed Terron''s lead without a single blink of his eyes. The two were entirely focused on Su now. It was a state of focus that only a dragon''s curiosity and pride could create.


    Piercing dragon eyes increased pressure on Su. she felt them wearing away at her mentality, but she also felt her blood boiling at the feeling. She wanted to roar out in protest. She wasn''t someone small to be looked at like this. She had already awakened a skill to take a powerful form. She was growing in to it and would be taking herself to a much stronger point in life.


    Every single broken piece of her frost heave armor was bright back stronger. Denser. It shined with a strange blue hue of ice and silver. When Terron suddenly stopped and Current walked to join him, they were looking at a panting and angry Su. a draconic guardian ready to throw aside everything to fight them, royal dragons. She was ready to channel all her mana and inner fury. Exactly the way a dragonkin should fight.


    But they were also looking at a fairly adept usage of the frost heave armor skill. Su had been forced to get to an adept level of understanding in just a few hours of being attacked. The silver icy armor that covered her was mimicking the ice shards that had covered Current. However, they had a thin silver core of condensed metal inside them.


    "Silver skin and ice shards. Combined they made a truly new skill. Frost heave armor, I like it. You should use it more." Current hummed softly. He was impressed.


    "It''s not a diamond yet. But for a hatchling, this isn''t bad." Terron sat down and took back the earth mana he could. He didn''t even nce again.


    "I will heal her a little. Both of you should get it now though. You can work pretty damn well together." Walker felt that Su was much more tired than him. The frost heave armor falling away from her molded itself in to a pile. Walker didn''t hesitate to store it away before he caught her. Su was more tired than she had been before. Thesest few training sessions had brought about great change in her body. They had awakened her new path of growth while throwing aside her emotional turmoil.
