Master Of None

Chapter 2180: 2180. Wisp Of Death

The sudden change in the way that walker moved and spoke deciding to leave them behind was odd to the light devouring dragon. However, he also realized that Walker was not stupid in any way. Isnetad, he was exceptionally insightful.

The light devouring dragon dragon did not doubt for a single section that Walker also sensed the weakness in him, potentially even better than he himself did. Therefore, Walker was acting a little colder because he knew the risk that the light devouring dragon would go through.

As much as the light devouring dragon did not want to leave the duty unfulfilled, he had no choice. The light dragonoids had also used substantial amounts of light mana. They had even used some of it to ensure that the darkness mana spreading around after one of the undead were defeated did not cause issues for him.

They had also been injured by that very same dark mana. Its density was too great and caused damage to their scales. If they did not get closer to a light elemental plane, then they would lose more of their scales and take much longer to heal.

Walker had clearly seen this as well. it made the light devouring dragon have a greater respect for Walker. But he had already grown a decent respect for him and the entire party. They were not simple beings from the world. They had viewpoints that many people would never have.

”We will return to our Lord and report this. Our mission will continue when we stand as representatives as the true light dragon. We will be the first to step in to the world and forge a path.” This announcement spurred the light dragonoids to follow him toward the light elemental plane.

Naturally, Walker and the others heard this and thought about how amazing it would be to welcome the dragons from the elemental planes to Genesis. Once they had learned to control their manas though, it was better to be safe than sorry after all.

”You sent them away because they could not gather mana there. It was smart.” Su looked at Walker knowing full well that he had taken everyoneʼs safety in to account. The small battle against undead had only been short because they had also used a lot of mana.

Midnight and Su were both worse off than Walker. Walker had a lot more ability to replenish his mana though. Hence why Su and Midnight were moving next to him. He was pulling manas from the boundaries they traveled through. In turn, he processed them and shared them with the two.

While this was not perfect, it was a better way to replenish mana since it was transferred through him. He was already comfortable with the bonds that he had to Midnight and through her Su. Therefore, sharing mana with them was much simpler than what it could have been. Not that he didnʼt have a skill for that.

”Iʼm less worried about mana than what we will do against the immortal king. That skeleton bastard definitely got stronger if he went there.” Since it was clear that all the undead had changed, Remey knew that the immortal king had also been influenced.

”I would say thatʼs true, his body was weaker because he had to leave behind the crafted body of an elder lich. But if he was making it more resistant to all elemental manas, then he most likely added them to his bones when he was there. Time doesnʼt mean much here. I would say his understanding of being an undead was enough to change his body quickly.”

”Change his body? I would believe that he built on to it. Look at that weird thing we had to fight. Life swallowing whatever it was could have been made of a hundred different undead and was still trying to be part of more.”

This was very true. Gil had spotted many of the different parts that did not fit yet had become part of the life swallowing monstrosity. It proved that the immortal king was capable of still altering undead in many ways. So many that they could not assume he had lost the ability at all.

”We are following him still, but we are definitely nearing more chaotic manas. I can feel the boundaries are getting larger and larger.” Walker looked ahead, the manas that formed elemental planes and the boundaries between them that the party walked were somewhat disjointed now.

The water manas that flowed were crossed with wind mana here and there. The only reasons that the party did not struggle with anything was because they still had the resistances to manas to keep moving. Even he would find it to be harder to force the manas to move if he were to use some space mana somehow.

A flash of light and then a strange tingling feeling made everyone freeze. Walker could sense a burst of mana flowing through the air. It was a cross between light and wind. Enough to make them understand that Walker had not joked at all when he said things were unsteady here.

What they had felt was a smaller elemental plane smash in to another. The light and wind melded together but lacked an anchor of sorts to fuse in tio a mixed elemental plane entirely unique in form. The result was the manas dissipating and being pulled different directions toward a plane of their matching mana. Basically, they were being broken down and absorbed.

This was a natural occurrence for the elemental planes. But what Walker sensed was that this was also a very dangerous occurrence. If they had been caught in the collison. Then they would have been very hurt. So much that healing might not be enough to help them. Damage from pure manas might be worse than any other form of damage.

”Walker, there it is.”

”What?” Walker wasnʼt sure what Gil was seeing, but when he looked at Gil, he noticed that his eyes were somewhat glazed over. The high elf aspect of his race was now reacting in some way to what was in front of them.

ʼThere are black and gray strands in the air. Thatʼs the death elemental plane. Itʼs spread out but ahead itʼs denser. Thereʼs something holding it all together. I Can feel it.” the way that Gil looked, he was not comfortable with this sudden sight. However, it was gone in a split second.

Walker was able to grasp the death mana with his senses though because of that.

”It seems that having high elf blood in me is really making things odd. My entire body reacted to that. Not in a bad way, but like I was looking to touch something I knew was part of nature beyond what I understood. Like when you get too close to the fireplace for the first time. Something inside you wants you that itʼs dangerous.”

”I can tell why you are sensing that. Your instincts are now connected to nature than they ever have been before. Mmana makes up everything in some way or another, so now that you encountered literal death mana in a denser form… I can feel it too.”

While they stood there, onyx, Midnight, Su, and Remey also began to feel unease in their hearts. It was the smallest feeling at first. Just an uncomfortable feeling that didnʼt have a basis. But as they stood there and focused on that feeling, they picked up on it becoming more agitated.

It was fear. Thatʼs what they felt.

Stand here for a minute and let me channel life mana. It wonʼt be very comfortable when we move forward and the death mana is definitely going to damage us if we arenʼt prepared. But we should be able to balance what is within us and the death mana outside.”

Since Walker said this, the others began to focus on reading for the moment. He was delving in to what he could sense within himself and around them for life mana. Since there was always both everywhere, the death mana here had to have some balance with life mana nearby. Therefore, Walker wanted to bring some more life mana closer to them to spur their inner life mana.

That would act as some form of buff for the group so that they would not be harmed while they moved nearby and even inside the death elemental plane. It was not a sure fire way to be able to be perfectly safe, but anything would help right now.

What really made Walker think was how he had pushed the life mana within himself once before to grow. Which allowed him to take a step to being what he was now. To properly mixing his bonds together in a unique way. He could tell that this wouldnʼt happen to the others, but they would definitely feel an improvement if he were to make this work.
