Master Of None

”We barely even made it in to the wind elemental plane and now we are hitting another boundary? I thought we would meet the wind king or another angelic wind spirit.” Remey was sure that this didn’t make any logical sense. ”If you think about it like something spinning, it helps. That’s how I am making it work in my head.” Su’s idea to make it rational helped a lot. Especially since a lot of people could use that example when they learned about the elemental planes later. ”So, we are being brought around the edges because the plane moved enough while we weren’t moving. The angelic wind spirit stopping us really made that much difference?” as much as it didn’t make any sense, it made a lot of sense. ”I really am going to get a headache thinking about all this. Besides that, Onyx and Midnight are distracted by something else.” Since Gil’s attention has shifted to something else annoying, he pointed out that midnight and Onyx were already examining the boundary. Between the water and the wind, there was a dense mist. It was unique in the sense that seeing beyond with was impossible. However, they could all feel the dense cool water mana that was coming from it. Therefore, this was moving them toward the water elemental planes. ”The boundary between the water and wind elemental planes is surprisingly small.” This was what Walker could sense. However, the more he focused the more he understood the reason. ”The water that makes up the water elemental plane changes to dense ice the further you go in. that manas that it’s not just a sib aspect of water mana but the densest form.” This was good proof for his understanding of water and ice as a whole. Especially when it came to the frost whip skill which united the two forms together to create a flowing yet solid attack method. It also helped him expand the way he thought about ice and water as a whole. Come of the dragons had been able to mix affinities over the years through their children or relationships. Therefore, an ice dragon had been born between water and wind dragons. Naturally, this could be seen as a unity of the two. But finding out that it was actually the blessing of an extremely powerful pure water affinity would shock many people. Especially since that dragon also possessed a small wind affinity which would have been confused for being part of the greater ice affinity. This was all a lot to think about before Midnight and Onyx began to retreat back. Something had caused them to feel unsettled. Their instincts were stronger since they were more sensitive naturally. Through his bond with them, Walker immediately caught on to what they felt. It wasn’t something small either. It was a denser wind and water mana coming together nearby them. Enough that they knew that whatever it was could easily beat them without thinking much. ”We’ve felt that before. That’s a kraken.” Gil recognized it. Even before the tentacle had whipped up out of the mist and retracted. From what they could all see, the kraken had just moved because it had sensed prey in the mist. But it retreated after missing that prey. ”That means the water elemental planes are infested with kraken? That’s not good at all. We could only fight one mother and all those babies because we had an army with us.” everything in remey’s mind told her that this was wrong and dangerous. They couldn’t handle this sort of enemy if it was a fully grown adult, with many more just like it. ”Listen, this is not going to be what we focus on right now. We have to consider that we need to keep walking on this tight rope or we will fall in to the abyss beflow.” Gil’s worries were fair. They were walking a very thin and dangerous tightrope. Whoever put it across this chasm was really dumb. ”Don’t be dumb. If we walk anywhere we will just fail because our feet are made of iron. We are going to sink to the bottom of this pond. We can’t fly out of this like Walker is.” when Su spoke too, there was nothing making any sense. Or at least no sense to Walker. His party had suddenly begun to say things that were not clear at all. However, the more he tried to look around and guess the cause, the more he understood how hard this was. They had walked in to the mist a few moments ago without realizing it. The result was complete blockage of their surroundings. Furthermore, everyone else was seeing some form of illusions. As Walker had the strongest senses for mana and he was rapidly absorbing various manas in to his body. This allowed him to constantly adapt and understand the flows of manas around. But he couldn’t sense the water and the wind being used to make a mist with illusions. However, he still heard some laughter.. A giggle here or a small laugh there. Enough that he could use his eyes and ears to track the changes in the denser mists. After a few minutes of ignoring the odd situations that the rest of the party found themselves in, Walker spotted a slight movement in the mist. It was more solid. He focused on it and used the all around appraisal skill. ’Illusion spirit

These spirits are from a unique plane of water, light, wind, and dark manas. It is often ignored or completely unfounded since the beings there are perfect at illusions. Very few can see through them. These spirits often move out of their planes to areas they enjoy being in. Specifically to cause trouble and make illusions. Eventually, they will get bored and move on. They scare easily once they are spotted. But that can be challenging since they used unique mana to wrap their bodies to hide from predators. Many of the elemental plane’s residents dislike their mischievous and nosy natures. Hence many consume them when spotted. They have been known to bother sleeping dragons. Hence giving them the nickname, dragon pests…’

There were at least three of these illusion spirits. Something that Walker would have believed appeared within the world and much less some unique elemental plane. Yet, here he was seeing the all around appraisal to prove that these spirits existed. Furthermore, he was able to understand that out beyond these elemental planes, nearer to the endless chaos and the unknown planes, was a plan where water, light, wind, and dark anas mixed well enough to give birth to illusion spirits. It was hard to wrap his head around. ”Leave us alone.” Walker waved his hand and sent a larger burst of wind out. But with it came a slight bit of draconic aura. Enough that they realized they had actually managed to find a dragon awake!

The sudden burst of manas with hints of dragons scared the illusion spirits away. The moment that they started to run, the mist lessened exposing more of the water elemental plane to sight. ”Nothing about that was good.” Onyx had lost any cheery tones he had to give. Right now, he was very serious as he wondered why he had even thought that they were all trying to polish Su’s armor while walking a tightrope. ”Just some illusion spirits coming here to cause trouble. I scared them away. Midnight, the next time you wonder if that is good or bad of a situation, use some of your natural dragon aura that radiates from your body. Dragon manas are unique and can scare them away.” Walker didn’t mention the fact that the illusion spirits like to bother sleeping dragons. They didn’t need to be hunted by her right now. ”The kraken we saw was real though.” Walker made every single one of them snap out of whatever curiosity or strangeness was left over by the illusion spirits. He had seen the kraken tentacle and had only been unable to appraise it due to the mist that grew when the illusion spirits arrived. ”We still need to be ready to fight it.” Su was already in a defensive stance in front of the others as Midnight moved to her side so that they could defend and attack at a moment’s notice. While the large kraken tentacle would be hard to defend against. It was not impossible. ”No, just take a minute to stand here. It’s already moving since it can sense a better source of water mana. There’s only one.” Walker could see sense it. The ripples in the water mana. They made out the certain shapes within the sprawling waters of the water elemental plane. …
