Master Of None

Chapter 2628: 2628. Central Flames

The flow of fire mana got even more violent while the group sidestepped the monsters.

”I don’t think we will find anything safe around here. This seems more like we are starting to walk toward a whirlpool or volcano.” The worries that Gil had were fair, he felt that he was looking at something much more dangerous than what they had to deal with. Not a monster but a force of nature.

”I was going to ask if you could all camp here while I investigate whatever is happening there.”

”You will go with me, I want to see and feel the fire there. It is more brutal than normal fire mana.” Remey made a good point, for her understanding of fire would make a lot more sense that she was able to see the way and reason for the fire mana being more dangerous.

”We can wait here and observe the area. Gil already knows what herbs Remey has found and Alice also knows what some medicinal herbs might look like. We will scout out and see what we can find.” With Su taking the lead, Onyx and Midnight moved to her side to support her. They were glad to take a little time to hunt around the unknown area.

When Walker and Remey set off, they could sense the dangerous fire mana waves moving around but were also sensing that the waves of fire mana were even purer than when they were further away. Meaning that there was more danger in the mana if it collided with them and they were not prepared.

For Walker and Remmey this was not much of an issue whatsoever. She had greater fire mana resistance than the others because of her unique races as a true fire dragon soul. It was also a good thing since being here in the fire elemental planes was generally allowing her to grow and adapt better. In Walker’s mind, this was all the better since Remey would be able to learn better control of fire in general.

It would also allow for her to learn to manipulate purer and denser fire mana. The fire elemental planes as a whole was a major learning experience for everyone, including Walker. He was seeing the purer side of fire mana’s nature.

This would play in to the ways that he used fire and was able to mix fire mana with other manas. If possible, he wished to be able to enhance his ability to use natural mana in denser forms. He might even be able to better create his new multi dimensional storage spaces. If he could make one with natural mana only, it could be almost the same as having a small world.

While that was an interesting theory. It was not really reality. There was so much more that would go in to making a multi dimensional storage similar to the world. Let alone the fact that he would need to understand time, space, life, and death manas to the point that he could gather them easily, let alone mix them.

”That is a lot of fire mana.” Remey was looking at the area, it had been swept clean of any plants, herbs, or whatever monsters could possibly live here. Even the monsters developing within the new addition to the elemental planes struggle to survive here. That was a fact from what the pair could see.

”It is a lot of fire mana, it seems to be focused in the center because of whatever monster is loving there.” Walker shocked Remey by telling her he could see a monster in the mess of moving fire mana.

”Monster? I thought you would say it was some pure fire mana rune or something else.” She wanted to know what could be the cause of all this. It was clearly the monster that was agitating the fire mana compared to what the other areas had become to adapt to the nature of the greater fire elemental planes.

’Violent flame hornet

These are a species of hornet monster known for being isolated and extremely violent. The only time one would see more than one would be during their migration period where they search for a partner to lay several eggs with. Otherwise, they are a force to be reckoned with throughout the entirety of the greater fire elemental planes.

They have extremely sharp limbs enhanced by condensed fire mana, which allows them to use them to burn and cut their prey without fully relying on their pincers and their stingers. Unlike other species of hornet monsters, they condense multiple stingers that hold potent fire mana within their abdomen, they can shoot their stingers like arrows which will explode and cause larger waves of flame.

They will often live in areas with violent condensed fire mana, this way they are able to better absorb and condense fire mana within their bodies. It also allows them to grow larger to compete with dragons and other larger monsters. They are rarely able to defeat adult dragons but have been known to fight them if they come in contact.

Their almost skeletal armor is highly condensed with fire mana making it dense and extremely resistant. This puts them in competition with many of the larger defensive fire affinity monsters within the fire elemental planes.

When they find a good location to survive and grow, they will defend it, however they are often found in places where extremely rare materials also grow causing many battles to occur.

Their bodies also make insanely valuable crafting materials for...’

Remey listened to all to the information that Walker had just learned. She also started to make out the massive shape of the violent flame hornet. It appeared to be cradling a larger stone with deep red gems in it.

”Can you appraise that stone and gems?” She could sense the fluctuation in the fire mana around it too. She could tell because of her unique fire sense, but she also felt her body somewhat reacting.

Noticing her fixation, Walker realized that this might be more than just a material. It might be something Remey could use to develop her united body and soul better. He knew very well that her development had been held back working in Genesis. She wouldn’t ever say it outright and Ignus had been the Ken to worry about it more than anyone else.

Because Ignus could sense Remey closer than anyone else due to their bond and sharing fire mana, they were certainly clearer with one another in terms of their development.

’Soul flame gem cluster

This soul flame gem cluster is extremely rare due to the fire mana needed to form it being extremely brutal and pure. It is often only found in young fire elemental planes due to monsters or races consuming the mana within to grow their potential.

The species of lanterns and races that once relied in these are few and far between due to the scarcity of this material.

Monsters will covet it and often use the unique fire mana within to enhance their bodies and even increase their intelligence potential. Many new races were born because of this material.

The enhancement to the soul and body allows for higher manipulation of fire mana and even the higher potential for enlightenment in terms of fire and how fire itself works within existence itself.

The uses other than enhancing the body would be for unique items bonded to the soul itself, however, that is seen as an insult to the material unless a masterful crafter is in charge...’

”Do you need it?” Walker saw Remey bursting with mana. She had started to pull fire mana around her body and condense the dragon form she could take. The dragon aspects were much rendered due to the purity of fire mana. He also noticed that she was a bit more aggressive. The elemental knuckles that she could attach to her gauntlets were also left aside so she could only use the fire affinity ones.

She was going to go all out with her specific fire affinity. Use her strength. Walker knew all too well she was not expecting him to fight this battle for her or even intervene unless her life was in danger.

”I will buff you, but I will maintain the balance around this area as best as I can. Fight to your best ability.” She smiled, not her usual sneaky grin or cheeky toothy smile, it was one that said she was ready to fight, no, to brawl!

With a burst of fire behind her, Remey sped toward the violent flame hornet. It sensed her immediately due to its intense fire mana senses. It knew it was being challenged. It wasn’t simply fighting for a material here, it was a battle of life and death.
