Master Of None

Chapter 2390: 2390. Leaving For A While

While things didnʼt seem to be calming down whatsoever, Walker found that he managed to find himself a free moment. He also found that while he had dozed off in a small tent away from the main focus on things, Onyx had managed to find him.

What Walker was a little surprised about, was that Onyx looked a little different. ”Good morning brother. You look better now.” Onyx had been more or less handling the processing of the light mana he had recently gained. While he had been awake he struggled to do too much.

However, Walker had felt the manas that Onyx transferred to him through their bond. It was why Walker was thankful the moment that he saw Onyx. It was also how Onyx knew that Walker had been in a very stressed and tired state before he had been able to sleep a little.

Not that Walker had a choice, the moment he had sat down to rest his body and mind had taken control and knocked him out. But that was what happened to everyone went through stress themselves too much. Sleep is always a good choice for resetting.

The scales on Onyxʼs body had become slightly sharper looking. That wasnʼt it though, Walker could tell they had become denser. Much better to defend Onyx. It was also clear to him that there was mana moving through the scales. ”You have made your light and dark mana armors in to a permanent skill. Itʼs a passive skill?”

This meant that the skills Onyx possessed had absorbed in to his body and become nothing close to a skill at all. It had definitely changed in the clearest and most true sense. It was not at all what the skills had once been known about or when they had mingled together.

”I have, I was sleeping and making the light mana become one with me. I realized that I needed more dark mana too so that my body could handle it. That was when I felt like something inside me was finally awake. It was more like I had just opened my eyes after hatching.” The warmth Walker felt through his bond with Onyx proved that Onyx remembered that moment and this new moment with great happiness.

”When that happened, I felt my heart rush. Everything became better. My mana moved better and my body was bigger in just a few moments.” Now Walker felt that Onyx was a little uncomfortable.

”How much bigger?” Now Walker could somewhat tell that Onyx and potentially had a little problem.

”I only damaged a little of where I was resting.” Now he knew. Walker could tell that he would have to help fix a few things up. ”I grew another ten feet in length brother. I believe that I have awakened an ancient part of my bloodline. I also can vaguely sense that I am no longer what I was. That any of the heavenly or abyssal serpents in the elemental planes are just that, they are not me and what we are going to become by living in the world.”

Now this was something that Walker already knew. Onyx had already separated himself as a different king from his ancient ancestors who could not remain in the world with the manas changing. He and all the eggs left had been here, losing the chance to grow in dormancy because they did not receive the manas they needed. Yet, he could tell that there was a lot more going on.

Awakening ancient aspects of a bloodline should not mean that Onyx would change this greatly and fully take on that different racial name. Instead, it had to be because of how he united the manas in him and how he had grown so much. His intelligence and bond with Walker and through Walker with Midnight should have a say in this.

”I would say that you are more than just a patriarch to your race now. You might be considered the originator since if they get as strong as you they will look like you do now. The heavenly and the abyssal serpents I mean.” The young serpents were also growing, but they didnʼt have the same binds as Onyx did. They were not groaning as fast or with influence from others in the same form as him.

”Thatʼs fine, I wanted to show you before I went back to explore some of the new ruins found. I want to make sure that more is found. I have the ability to let all of the younger siblings hide in my shadow now.” Onyxʼs shadow flickered and Walker could sense at least a hundred different manas resting in Onyxʼs shadow.

He hadnʼt even sensed them at all and Onyx was in the smaller form since the majority of his body was also hidden in shadow. Another Impressive aspect of his skill and the growth that Onyx had.

”So I take it you wanted me to know you were heading out for a while and wouldnʼt be home?” This was when Walker understood. Omnyx had been doing a lot more on his own, but right now, onyx wanted to lead an exploration of his own. More than just working on ruins, he wanted to find something in the wilderness greater than what he had done before. He wanted to live up to and beyond what his family did.

This wasnʼt a desire to stand equal to them, or based on worries that he was not standing with them. It was a drive to be more than what the young serpents needed. Tpo be the figure established in history and ingrained within their souls from birth. That he would be the one who they looked to even a thousand years in the future whether or not he was alive.

He was making a legacy that would inspire every single young serpent born.

”And Aurora, you know I can sense you too. I can tell you managed to get a decent bit stronger. You even managed to get some control of dark mana. You are the second strongest out of everyone. But whatʼs with those little wings? Trying to give the angels a run for their money?” Walker joked a little when he saw that Aurora moved outside of Onyxʼs shadow.

”Alice is not going to like that you are both running off. I understand though. You are both going to be the pens to create a legacy after the ancient ancestors of your race left and never came back. A new race. A new legacy. And a home both of you are going to come back to so I can hear all about it. But you remember, if you both need help you are to call for me immediately. With everything you have, you call.”

There was a part of Walker that knew that Alice was going to be extremely angry with him. Aurora was still the tiny little white serpent in her eyes. She cared for her the same way that Walker cared for Onyx. Yet, if Walker stopped either of them, he knew it would be the very same as cutting off their future and ruining their bonds as family.

”How about this though, make sure that when you come home, the story is worth listening to a hundred times?” He smiled a little and watched as Onyx and Aurora melded in to the shadows and the shadow darted off.

His mind was on the changed look in Onyxʼs eyes. One that said he would surely succeed. The little wings that seemed to carry Aurora in the sky setting her aside proving that she had taken same step as Onyx but was representing the female side of their race. Still a perfectly balanced dual race beyond what he could imagine.

Now though, they had begun to properly establish themselves a new history in the world. Not worrying about the ancestors and Onyx clearly didnʼt even wish to see them again. Instead, he was focused on a new path as he had always wished. But he had accepted that path now. All Onyx needed was the step and strength to do it.

”Well, I guess I should go find everyone since I am awake.” Walker sighed a little as he stood up and stretched his back. Sleeping in a weird position in a chair and not in a real bed would make anyone stiff.

Regardless, he could sense that a lot had been done. The manas from the floating ship were back in line and the spirit race who had been working on it were clearly at rest. They too needed to rest their minds regardless of being made of mana for the most part. They still felt the mental pressure and could make themselves go dormant willingly now. Without any negative side effects.

This all came second to Walker though, he had to check on everything. Not just the spirit race.
