Master Of None

Chapter 2357: 2357. Powerful Visitor

ʼCrystalline light serpent race

Once of the same blood as the ancient heavenly and abyssal serpents, the heavenly serpent unable to find their perfect partner began to grow differently. They released their need for balance in darkness mana and slowly adapted to pure light mana. This has led to their scales and majority of their bodies being made up of extremely pure and condensed light elemental crystals instead of normal scales.

Often known for patrolling the edges of the light elemental plane when the planes shift and overlap, they are powerful forces to be reckoned with. They can often purify many manas and beings utilizing their extremely high affinity and innate knowledge of light mana. They are known to prefer peace and purity over all other things which is why they are considered the best followers for the true light sage.

While the size they can grow is not limited by the mana around them since the atmosphere of the light elemental planes is so dense with pure light mana, it is limited by their age. They can only grow fifty feet within one year which is a rule of existence to prevent them from becoming creatures unbound by the rules of all things.

While very few in numbers, the crystalline light serpent race can be considered one to be respected. Mostly because they have a long history of mediating the battles between elemental planes and quelling them with overwhelming control over light mana.

They can barely survive outside of dense pure light mana, it will cause them to shed their skin which will cause them to regress in strength significantly. Making them weak to predators and als causing them to need years to reclaim their former strength. They will almost never leave the light elemental plane for any length of time unless necessary…ʼ

”I can not stay here long. I will only remain here for a moment to ensure the safety of the light elemental plane. I followed the changes and the altered flow of manas.” The voice was deep yet light. An odd mixture that came from the mind rather than from an actual vocalization. The very same way that many similar beings without the ability could speak.

Turning its head, the crystalline light serpent looked carefully at Walker again. Its eyes widened when it felt the manas around him. Clearly it was understanding who and what Walker was now. ”I see that I was not needed here.”

”No, that is not it at all. I am grateful to learn a little about your race with my all around appraisal skill. The world is adjusting and an odd moment of natural flows happened here. The mana block was repaired and I am glad to see that someone so caring was nearby to examine the flow.” There was only respect in Walkerʼs tone. He understood the care that this being must take in their own actions every day.

”I can sense that you used quite the effort to repair the issues here. I will ensure that I spread the information to those who guide me in my path to true light mana understanding and purity.”

Catching this, Walker looked a little more focused now, he forced his mind to keep calm since he knew this could be a good chance. ”I know that the elemental planes are shifting as they should. If you can let the true light sage or someone who can contact them know that they are welcome to visit the world, we are looking forward to it. The true wind sage recently visited so I know that the other true sages are also interested in doing so.”

This made the crystalline light serpent lower its head a little. It knew that this was not a simple request. For an origin being, even a young one, to ask this of them, it was important. ”Thereʼs no need to stress out over this. I am not demanding anything of you. It is a simple request if you have the time. Please do not worry yourself. And if you must leave, I understand you are risking a lot to be here. I do not want to see your hard work be lost while you are here.”

With this, Walker gathered more of the ambient light mana around the crystalline light serpent. He wanted to ask more questions of how the abyssal and heavenly serpents had changed over the years. He knew for sure that there were still members of their race around. However, he wondered how the crystalline light serpents came to be.

Their history might have been caused by more than just lack of partners. The all around appraisal was not concrete. It could miss things and Walker wished he could look in to getting a more detailed and consistent appraisal. Unfortunately, that did not have the benefits of the all around appraisal.

Some information within the skill was more than what would normally be displayed. It might not necessarily fit the exact topic he was trying to glean information from. But that was fine. The more he knew overall the better. It would make him more knowledgeable along with others around him. Information was power after all.

”I will be the carrier of your message. Young one. You have my word.” There was no hesitation. Just an instant reply full of promise and trust. Walker couldnʼt help but be impressed. He found that those with the belief in protecting the elemental planes purity and balance was always a positive aspect. Or at the very least. He had only met those who took it as a positive.

Those that may take it as a negative and more brutal action were far and few between when considering all those he had met so far. Especially out of those who had mentioned or been to the world while it adjusted.

”Then I will not hold you up. Please go to where you need to be so that you are safe and sound. I am Walker. I hope that we see one another again some day. I know the elemental planes are vast and the chances are slim. But familiar faces are always nice to see.”

Without saying another word, the crystalline light serpent was turning around and slithering back through the bridge to the elemental plans. Walker did notice a few small crystalline light scales falling on the ground. It had not been that long, but still, the crystalline light serpent had suffered some.

He didnʼt want to leave them lying around and stored them away. While he had no idea what they would be useful from, everything had a use. Ideally, he could find a way that they would be used in the areas of the light dragon territory. Potentially helping the light mana gather there so that when others from the light mana elemental plane visited, they could rest safely.

Sitting on the ground, Walker didnʼt see the reason he should rush anywhere. He was able to take a proper breath for a moment. He should take it while he could. All the running around and rushing here and there was going to get to him sooner or later. Especially since he was going longer and longer without sleep.

He started to believe that he might never need sleep as long as he had the right amount of mana. Not that he could easily push off the mental fatigue. He was feeling it right now. The mix of earth and light mana in the condensed but brittle light and earth crystals had cost a lot of mana to influence. Then now, he had met with a very powerful being from the elemental planes.

The sudden arrival of light elemental spirits proved that everything was properly moving as it should. Having a slight interruption to the flow of manas as the world adjusted was potentially detrimental. It could have caused many more issues across the world. Yet. Walker also knew that this was a test.

It was a more natural phenomenon this time. The change of the elemental planes flow and also the opening of an elemental bridge. If this situation were to concur and they had to track down the issue, things could have been worse.

If they had considered that this was worse and was caused by a monster, then they could have been in for a major battle. A battle that could have damaged the world and also the people within. This was able to keep them on their toes for when such an instance may occur in the future.

Most importantly, he had managed to get a message to the true light sage. Whether or not they visited did not matter at all. As long as it was shown that Walker was trying to communicate, things could go well. All the true sages would know he was still welcoming and determined to be within full balance.
