Master Of None

Chapter 2190: 2190. Waiting For Them

The decision to stop resting and move through the elemental bridge was enough to shake all of them out of their heads. This time, the party was able to observe the chaotic manas outside of the elemental bridge much better without worries that they had to fight a skeleton.

Surprisingly, they found that a few elemental spirits were also traveling on the bridge. They had found the mana that was moving between the elemental planes and the word through the bridge interesting. To be fair, this was just part of the flow now, and they would be doing this naturally.

This showed how some of the monsters might make their way in to the elemental bridge which could be troublesome. Regardless, the elemental spirits noticed Walker’s party and moved around them. They followed them like unspoken guides to the world since that just made sense in their minds. They had sensed the manas within the party.

Not to mention sensed the spirit race binds the party had.

While it was still up for debate, it wasn’t sure whether the elemental spirits leaving the elemental planes would become spirit race beings or if they would stay as the elemental spirits they were now. They would change and become intelligent or they would remain as deeply connected nature flowing spirits.

Not that either were the better choice, both had their place within and without the world. It was just an interesting concept to consider. Especially since there would be the monster races that began to appear which might exist in the world but not the elemental planes. Or revered.

Walker used a little space mana since he could still sense it around them more strongly. He wasn’t allowed to go in to the space elemental plane, but he still had gained knowledge about the relationship of the other elemental manas and space mana as a whole. Therefore, he was able to move the entire party faster ahead. Further ahead.

Cutting their walk down the bridge in to a quarter of what it was when they entered the elemental planes. Definitely a perk of learning about the manas directly from the dense space elemental plane which terrifying monsters trapping undead. A good reason not to go there again until he mastered the space mana better too.

”It’s weird that we were moving through literal mana and now we are just stepping back in to the world.” Remey’s comment was what they were all thinking. The way the manas felt different already were enough to make it an unreal experience overall.

To be fair, as they stepped off the bridge and took in the sight of the sunny day, there were a lot of differences.

Just the feeling of lesser mana within the air made the entire party feel like they had been disconnected from the manas that they had grown accustomed to since they entered the elemental planes. Simply the rate of mana that they were able to absorb or call on had decreased much more than what everyone expected. Remey specifically found herself stopped to adjust herself so that she would not waste pure fire mana.

She needed it to survive now. But she wouldn’t have to worry about that once she used the method that the adult origin being told her about. She would have a defined ability to store more dense and pure fire mana within her body.

Walker felt that he could still bring elemental manas toward them easily if needed. He did realize that they wouldn’t work the same as within the elemental planes. He would need to condense more mana here than there to use whatever magic skills he was focusing on.

Although, from what he recalled, the mana around was still denser. Proving that the world was still balancing with the elemental planes. A good thing for all that lived in the world since they would continue awakening new perceptions of mana as a whole.

”I think we should focus on the ships over there. I would say they came for us.” Since Su had been the first to snap herself from a adjusting her feelings of her surroundings, she spotted the ships before the others.

Large metal ships had been set to float on the distant waters outside the island. A great deal of time had come to travel there. Meaning that the party had both been in the elemental a plane slinger than they expected. Also that the Genesis forces managed to travel here from the Sigil continent already.

A new water map must have been made to get there. New routes through the expanded oceans that were certainly risky to travel in the first place.

”Well, we didn’t think it would take just be a few days.” Gil pointed out that a few of the nearby well known wildflowers were in bloom. He knew from living on a farm that they took about a month to bloom. So, they had been within the elemental planes for a month or more. Still a larger chunk of time but they could have spent more. All of them would have been fine to walk back in to them. Explore and observe even more. Reach higher understandings of who they were. Of what they were.

”They have a camp set up too. Let’s surprise them.” Midnight immediately liked Gil’s idea without a single breath of pause.

The two of them began to race one another to the tents set up. The others watched before dashing off themselves. They all wanted to get home. They all wanted to see Genesis again to tell them stories about the elemental planes.

The sudden appearance of some of the most well known figures within Genesis shocked the soldiers in the camp. From what they knew, the party could be on their quest for longer than a few weeks or months. It was why they had been sent here to establish a camp from the Sigil continent once the teleportation formation was not working.

After getting there, they understood the lack of a mana crystals to make it function. That was why they rushed the ships being made in Sigil to be used to venture through the oceans to the island.

While it took them a few weeks, the stance from all races was exactly what sped the process up. Building a ship had taken weeks before. Not that it took close to a full week with everyone working together.

Following plans to ensure they were to the same specifications. Even some improvements were added by the young and upcoming blacksmiths who were learning from the older master blacksmiths.

The party was surprised to see that the forces here were full of rune carvers, magic researchers, and others of similar classes. They both researched the ruins but were also the perfect people to improve the elemental rune teleportation formation.

With their work, the party knew that they would easily reach home. But most of all, they were surprised to find that a few people had come here to make the island their home!

This wasn’t unexpected, but to Walker, it was earlier than he had expected. Genesis was pushing forward making this a small livable village even after it had been attacked by the immortal king and various undead left behind.

The undead had even been cleaned up by these people that came in ships sooner than later. An impressive feat.

”Reporting to the founders of Genesis and the heroes. We are the village construction force sent to establish a proper dock for the ships and welcome you back when your quest is

complete.”

The soldier reporting looked vaguely like one of the dwarven kings. The king of the deep. To be fair though, it would make a lot of sense if one of their children or family members was their direct commander sent here.

”We are glad to have a warm welcome.” Onyx treated them before Walker could. Mostly because he had spotted a few of the younger serpents here too. Hiding in the shadows waiting for Onyx to call them. A little shyness after not seeing him for a while.

”We are planning to head back to Genesis if the teleportation formation is working fine?” Walker didn’t hold back and was clear with their goals and excitement to return home.

”It is being carved again and inlaid with mana crystals. It should be done within the day.” It was good news. Improvement meant the formation would last longer. ”Then we will rest up and enjoy the beach. Maybe we will help a little here and there with preparing the land.” Walker considered this a chance to adjust to their newfound strengths. They had all gained strength that they needed to hold back while in the elemental planes.

The others picked up on this and nodded along. They didn’t want to make any mistakes now that they had gained a lot more strength than they had before they had left.
