Master Of None

Chapter 2394: 2394. Mixed To Gray

It wasn’t that the plants and earth itself were entirely made of dark mana. It was more so that they were so greatly full of it that they had changed appearance to match the dark and light mana. It wasn’t even in complete opposition. It came together to make a perfect balance.

”This is perfect.” Onyx spoke out to make it clear that just existing here would be beneficial to the dual affinity both he and every young serpent had had.

The fact that the manas were balanced and flowing calmly meant that the idea Onyx had about a naturally occurring dual affinity rune had to be true. His entire being was resonating with this space and that couldn’t just be the dungeon. Instead, it had to be what was made within the dungeon.

They all knew that the dungeon needed the pure light and dark manas from the naturally occurring runes. Therefore, those manas had to go somewhere before being sent back in to the world when the dungeon was open to the world.

Just moving around, onyx could feel that the herbs, no, the plants themselves were all useful to him. Even if he were to eat the grass which was a mixture of gray as the light and dark manas within them mixed, he could absorb the manas within them. Allowing for his body to become more acclimated to uniting the light and dark mana.

This was saying a lot since Onyx had literally been through a large process changing his scales and creating a passive skill that was helping him become a better defender of everyone while also defining him as the leader of the race and future that the younger serpents could grow in

to.

Looking at the trees, the dark black bark would give way to the light mana streaks eventually becoming the younger and brighter pure white leaves sprouting out of the thin branches of gray. It was a showcase of how the manas protected and encapsulated one another. The same happened in some magic spells or in crafting.

This was also used by some when they wished to protect a material or others from the decaying effects of dark mana which were seen as very dangerous. Some people would also rely on the dark mana to repress the effects of light mana which could be blinding and even harmful in greater densities. Often causing the over effects on healing skills which would deplete the nutrients of a patient being healed.

Beyond this, the heart itself had dark and light colorations. Onyx could stop what would be considered common soil or rocks outside in the world that, here, were dark and light affinities. It begged the question of whether they were now useful to be used in farming certain dark and light affinity herbs and foods. Or were they ideal for races that made homes for their young to use as materials now? Would that affect their overall life or would that affect their young as they grew?

He could consider that one of his races carrying a child meant that the child and that serpent carrying it would need this purer and calmer mix of manas to develop in to a stronger being at the end of the lifespan. Therefore, would it be hard to say that building a nest out of these things would be a smart idea?

”There is something moving there.” Aurora had very few attacking skills, but one was to make small spears of light the same way that Alcie could by singing. However, Aurora just needed to feel it rather than sing it to make them appear. She did so now causing four dense light spears to appear which were stronger than her normal light spears due to the ambient light mana purity and densities.

”Someone appraise it and tell me immediately-” Onyx didn’t need to finish the thought, the young serpent with him who had gotten a monster appraisal class had already started to speak to him. The class was exceptionally useful and had appeared as they met the lash shadow needle cluster plant monster. A perfect class for someone exploring new areas and one that would help Genesis greatly.

’Split rabbit

This monster is a rabbit that has only ever grown up in an environment of balanced light and dark mana. It shed the heart affinity it once had and has been able to adapt to a perfect balance of light and dark. Because of this it has a high light healing ability to heal basic injuries while it has a dangerous dark affinity that allows it to make shadow claws and dark infecting bites. While most people would feel ill after eating its meat, it is a delicacy for those who have dual light and dark affinities. Unless crafted well, its fur will degrade rapidly without the protection needed. Normally this monster is calm, but when facing a predator it will fight with everything it has to preserve its own life due to it knowing it can heal itself to some degree.

Normally few and far between, when in the mating season they can be found in groups of up to fifty...’

The appraisal was focused on the uses of this monster and even mentioned who would and would not be safe eating it. That was a new aspect that Onyx believed came from the fact that the one appraising it was a monster appraisal class user.

The rabbit didn’t wait for them and rushed away in the next moment. The fighting aspect that he had just been told about made Onyx question the appraisal. However, he also knew that this was one very small split rabbit and not an adult. Most likely this was a child who had been exploring for good food only to find them. He knew that he would have run away as well.

”We know there are monsters here too now. And since the mana I feel is stronger in the direction that the split rabbit ran, we should move that way as well.” The observation of the surroundings was a focus for them, but Omnyx also knew that finding the dual affinity naturally occurring rune had to be a priority.

Ahead of him, some stones broke out of the ground. Clear matches to the ways that the stones outside of the dungeon broke through the softer earth. It proved that this dungeon came from the outside too.

”Be careful of what might be in the shadows.” Knowing that this place had kk stars meant that they might be similar to the risks of outside. Specifically, the flickering honeybees they had read about. This would be their ideal environment to live. But also there might be more threats that had lived here in perfect growth for them for many years.

”What do you mean he found a dungeon? They’ve only been gone for a few days!”

Meanwhile, Walker was shocked to hear the news of another dungeon discovered. He had not expected this sort of occurrence. Realistically, Onyx and the other serpents should have been still traveling. Did he underestimate them?

The new skills Onyx had were using different balanced mana compared to what Walker could remember before Onyc had grown again. But this also meant that he had somewhat

underestimated Onyx.

”If they go inside they might have to deal with monsters we’ve never seen. They aren’t prepared.” A fair worry. This was something he had recently faced in the elven forest. They were still preparing plans and proper safety measures for those who would explore that dungeon for the second attempt.

There was so much that could be in a dungeon let alone one that was both dark and light

mana.

”That’s not the majority of the report. The serpents under Onyx and Aurora report a naturally occurring dark rune and naturally occurring light rune in perfect balance within the towering

stone passage.”

”What is their luck? I know it was reported as an area high in dark and light mana, but so much so...” he was done. Onyx has to have gotten some form or luck skill for this. It was exactly what

Onyx was looking for.

The perfect place.

The goofy smile on Walker’s face proved he was very happy regardless of the fear for Onyx and the others when it came to the dungeon. But this somewhat solved a problem for him. ”Let Alice know that we are going out to help Onyx and Aurora.”

Now he could use this as a way to make her less angry with him. Yes she would be worried and angry still, but at least he was acting to get her and himself there to help the pair. The right

thing to do.

What Walker was too young to realize, was that he was going to be in even more trouble because when he let those two run off alone he hadn’t considered this risk. The danger increased and he was at fault for that as well.
