Master Of None

Chapter 2443: 2443. Struggling Covens

”My position will be to protect what I have carved out from the world during chaos. Twice I have faced threats that could end the world we know or could have grown greater in threat than we all understand. The issues with manas being broken due to the forced existence of the demon lord was a problem no one had handled.”

”That was a problem races like yours who were hidden away in slumber could not handle or assist with. Then, the added threat of the immortal king who could have gained extreme power and had more control after escaping his self made prison could have been a threat we needed assistance with”

”None were there but the races with Genesis now and even then, we gained some afterward or during those battles” Walker looked carefully at the witch of forests. He did not break eye contact at all while speaking. His mana did not fluctuate.

”I will protect and help those races of the Genesis alliance grow regardless of the position of your race or other races who do not join. I will offer a place to join hands. The only question will be whether your race joins hands with us or decided not to. Or if your witch born race decides to to go to war with us for some reason.”

Holding himself back from listing the myriad of races that were not part of Genesis, Walker waited to see what would happen. This witch of forests was the first to appear and the first to listen as a grand witch who was leading the twelve covens. He knew that she was doing more than just listening.

He could sense the movements of manas around him in this dream like world they were in. he could also sense that outside his body there were more and more moving figures. Not threatening, but curious and worried. He could sense their manas unstable and weaker than

most.

From what he could gather, these would be the awakened witches. Those who were weaker and could manage with the manas of the world. It also brought him another question.

What was the world like in ancient times when the witch born race could exist within their isolated place with enough mana for their grand witches to easily live?

They were so attached to mana that they needed strong mana in the air and everywhere to be able to connect and bind with it. Without that bind they were dormant, weak, and unable to defend themselves at all. Meaning that they must have been moving in a period of immense mana and mana purity.

”Ruling us through fear will be the source of your next curse. The hexes cast upon you will make you and all your bloodline wish that they did not exist. If you state war as your future be prepared-”

”Do not threaten a guest. We will not do such things without the entire and full acceptance of each coven. That is the way.”

The next figure that radiated dark mana and was barely more than a speaking shadow had angrily claimed curses and hexes if threatened. Yet the second had been the exact opposite. More of a light based fog barely able to take the shape of a humanoid figure, yet soft and calm in her words.

”Witch of cursed mana and the witch of warm sun. They are two who have always been opposing yet managed to ensure that the twelve covens can stand together. The others may not join us from now on. Their will is known to us.” The witch of forests spoke up a little aggrieved that the others might not even be able to take form in this space properly. Especially with the fact that the other two struggled so much right now.

”So you are one that mastered dark mana and the curses. I have met demons and learned to purify some curses on items and against me. But you do remind me of an ally I have. She is also ready to punch anything that threatens us. And you are very much like another ally I have. Prepared to help even if you are lacking in whatever the subject is, you would offer it.”

The two were taken aback by the way that Walker spoke. ”I am able to enhance the flow of mana using herb garden related planting, smaller magic tower building, and rune formations to help create naturally occurring runes. This is a project that all of Genesis has been working on and is being established as we speak in, now five, locations.” He paused while taking a feeling of the room.

The manas around seemed to shift slightly as it was realized what he was saying. He had to openly say it, but he knew what he was benign to the table in terms of negotiation. ”Genesis is able to help increase the mana density many times over what you have in your territory now. Even our outer cities and their territories lead by the dragons have high pure elemental manas. Our central city is even greater.”

”What I am saying is, better allies than enemies. While that depends on some practices the witch born race has, as long as they can mix with all races in equality, pledge the best for the people of all races, and represent himself on a council to further progress the goal to enhance all lifestyles within the Genesis alliance, I believe a better future can be made.”

Walker intentionally pulled at his mana and radiated the natural mana he had stored. In almost an instant he saw the shadow like figure become dense and appear more like an older woman wearing flowing black robes while the white foggy figure condensed more in to a sun glowing young lady wearing bright white robes.

”I see. We all see. You have elemental spirits at your call as well. We did not sense this. Are they considered intelligent life to you?” Now this played on something more and Walker felt that the witches with their connection would not be harming elemental spirits at all. It was a -clear feeling.

”The elemental spirits are beings that represent mana. They may not be the same as an intelligent race, but they are not used as tools or material. The spirit race who grow from elemental spirits stands as equal within Genesis. They represent their freedom from the flow of nature and true intelligence. One is my partner and bonded with me to stand with nature and also stand as the leading representative of her spirit race as a proper spirit able to hear the world’s will and even existence’s will”

Fleur left the spirit mark on Walker’s body and radiated much more potent natural mana. She looked at the figures and even at empty spaces where Walker could not sense some others would be if they could properly take form. She didn’t say a word but made it clear that her presence was known by everyone able to feel the link with these grand witches.

”Our laws are strict. They will not be broken. Our territory will uphold them. Our binds with magic and the rebirth of those who become witchborn will be respected.” The darker figure spoke firmly. Her demand for this clear.

”I will travel with you to your place of living. See your truths. Make it all clear in the light so that we may not be tricked or lied to.” the sunny figure replied next.

”And I will seek proof of your actions. Help us bring purer mana to our territory within one month and we shall strike a contract. The twelve covens will ally only if you can prove your sincerity. In return, once we have seen it. We will match your sincerity and show you our true standing.” The witch of forests spoke with the confidence Walker expected from her since they had met just a short while ago.

”I expect potions, herbs, and runic texts in return for creating a better purity of mana in your territory. That will be the cost of this transaction. After that, we will discuss an alliance or at the very least a non aggression pact.”

Making it clear he would not be putting a show off for free, Walker saw the three grand witches nod. They had expected a come back in some form and this seemed fair enough.

They could tell that Walker had knowledge and his strength wasn’t shallow. Because this was the case, they had internally prepared to pay some price for what he might bring. ”Now, how will you join us on our return trip?” He looked at the witch of warm sun and waited. Meanwhile, Su and Remey had their own meetings with the unique awakened witches of the endless night forest and twelve covens.
