Master Of None

Chapter 2352: 2352. Handling Situations

”I was already pulled away from my own work.” Su had been working on a few different things, but when she had been called back to the Genesis building to work on strange mana movement, she knew that Walker and the others would return from where they were at any time. Especially since Walker might sense the mana already.

”It was first discovered near the new ruins which are still being explored and isolated by the serpents under the careful watch of Onyx. The ancient human ruins are becoming more of a benefit than expected. Over seventy pieces of knowledge about different ancient monsters. The false rat was discovered as a small statue and carving sas well.”

”The ruins nearby that were also found to be very active with mana. So much so that the mages are refusing to allow anyone to enter them again.” This was the reason that Su had been called.

The other representatives that were present were also very on edge. This place had been found by Mordant and Walker. They had brought the shadow eating octopus back which was proving to be very intelligent. It was already helping the guards and learning a lot while opening up to the many people of Genesis.

Yet, this was just evidence that the area was dangerous. Especially if there was evidence from Walker that the place was somewhat linked to the bridges to the elemental planes. That there would most likely be a bridge there in the future, if not the near future.

What the fear had been from the representatives when they ahead that the soldiers headed there to explore the area and guard it was that this was something from the elemental planes breaking through again.

While things had worked out the first time because it was an intelligent race, what if it was a monster? They would be following the manas and have a bridge to return to the elemental planes after hunting if they desired. That alone could be a larger possibility than what many others had expected so far.

”Right now it is caution that is being taken. The mages have everything blocked off because we only have a few people that can handle any magical monster that may appear. That is not confirmed. When the first bridge to the elemental planes appeared, this was a similar event.”

Talking people down was what they all felt should be done right away. Especially because there were many people who wanted to rush things. It was even worse since there was a lot more pressure with the Cloud fairies approaching Genesis to become a stable race literally living above and around the alliance.

This was all aside from other things going on right now. At the moment, Terron was building even more underground, not that they had solved most of the issues with the recent discoveries of ancient caverns. But that was causing even more worries for those beneath the ground.

The dwarven road created to get to the dwarven city had been damaged again. Some monsters rushing through caused a change in the caverns. In turn, this caused a small collapse that brought even more stress on the alliance representatives. Not that it was going poorly. There was a lot that this had shown.

The projects that had been impacted as things changed needed more attention. The fast paced changes were causing older projected to be forgotten or put off. That needed to be addresed. ”What we need right now is focus. Look at the current situation. Compare it to the changes in mana that happened on the island where the first bridge to the elemental planes appeared. Analyze the mana and report back about what elemental plane might be in contact right now. Begin to map it out between this bridge and the other.”

”Now, we have other issues. We need to reevaluate the road to the dwarven city. We need to establish a better method for river travel since I heard there was another earthquake that caused a mudslide. I want to hear from Rise when she has finished her personal meetings. I know she had recovered more. She also sent her dragonkin to the cathedral too, I want to understand what else she may need.”

With Su being so firm with what she expected, her weight as one of the heroes had been used perfectly. Especially with the fact that she would normally be seen as the one who healed and worked with healers. But her words being used like this showed that she was not always soft and welcoming. Her shields could be a wall of strength that could keep helping Genesis grow on its foundations.

”You do not need to send someone to check on me. I came here when I found out there were problems. I sent my dragonkin to the cathedral because I have grasped a purer light mana. One that allows me to change how I use my own light mana quite well.”

The entire aura that Rise had as she walked in was different. Even her words seemed a little softer. But that wasn’t all, her scales on her body in her dragonkin form appeared to be a little purer white than what they had been before she had gone to rest after the last event at the volcano.

”Needed to confirm with Alice that the mana I felt was something she had felt. And when we compared it, I understood that it is more like the light mana that she draws by speaking. While purer, it is more naturally flowing. I have touched upon the proper flow of light mana.” This made Su’s eyebrows raise. She had pushed down the panic of a rough situation when Walker was gone only to hear that Rise had made an advancement and then moved to help right away. The arrogance in Rise seemed to be much less than normal. She didn’t even have the same glint in her eye that told everyone she still believed she belonged high above them in the light of the sun rather than on the ground in the shadows.

”That’s a good thing then, what do you plan to do with it?”

”Well, for first thoughts, I can sense the flow of light mana in the world. It has increased which I believe was why I could better grasp the flow of natural light mana and why the purer light mana I now wield is as such.” It connected a lot better now. Su could tell what Rise was

saying.

”Since you believe it is the light elemental plane that is connected with that new bridge to the elemental planes, what are you suggesting?” She knew that Rise also had other ideas.

”I wish to go to it and guard it. I believe that it was not the light elemental plane until just recently and is stabilizing itself as it should naturally be. The large amount of light mana flowing in that area will strengthen myself and some of the younger dragons. I have two who are with child and they could require that mana. I will bring them there. And if anything is to cause a risk...”

Her words did not need much else. For Rise to be stepping up for the benefit of the dragon race, the light dragons directly under her, meant a lot. There would be no dancing around problems or taking time. It would be handled right away and properly. She would not be allowing issues to run rampant.

”Then you have my backing. I hope that you can also take some of the others with you to learn about what dragons need so that everyone is more familiar with your culture during times for mothers like this. I also want to make sure that there is a chance for others to learn from the mana there. The new light affinity class users may need this to give them a better future.”

From the speed that Rise nodded, she had actually wanted this. She was a light dominator dragon who had taken an even greater step forward. As such, she believed her duty had expanded even more. Taking the lead with this was more than just part of her responsibility.

For the dragons, Genesis had now become part of their villages. Even Rise would not look at it like it was lesser now. It just took a lot more time than the other dragons to fully understand within her mind and heart.

”Hero Su, we have a report of the poison jungle dungeon exploration. The groups have returned. Some injuries and a massive amount of information. Otherwise, there is a communication crystal waiting for you to listen and respond to. Please come with me.” The report was from a soldier guarding the communication crystals. His face told Su that she also could tell Walker what he needed to know about the current situation.
