Master Of None

Chapter 2418: 2418. Finding Them

While the idea that Walker was going to be outside in the mains square of the Genesis building to do a tracking spell of sorts had spread, mana of the mages that were equipped to help felt that they were taking a larger step.

They had been able to talk to many more powerful than the communication guild had managed to do. Not because the guild was lesser but because the mages were a massive group that shared so much information that it was quick to travel.

The mages that had come together to learn and to advance their understandings of magic were becoming innumerable at this pout. All because of the magic tower and the smaller magic towers beginning to be constructed in areas. They wanted to learn from naturally occurring runes as well.

This simple fact was enough for them to be in a state of constant enlightenment and action. They would always be sharing what they could with one another while proving new magical theories or trying to dig deeper in to their own affinities to mana.

When they had said that mages with dark, purifying light, and other similar affinities were to come and meet Walker to see if they could help him spread his mana senses and locate specific mana signatures related to the cores of the undead shifting slimes, they had run with the idea.

A large scale resonance of their manas and affinities meant that these mages would be able to take a large leap ahead in beginning to increase their strengths. Simply because Walker would be the core of their manas for a short while.

As much as some who did not practice magic would ignore that since it didnʼt seem that grand, those who understood would feel it was a greater than anything chance for them.

These mages would be able to glimpse the understandings of mana that Walker had. Since he had understood how manas mixed with one another and also how they all came together peacefully to form natural mana, they could glean a lot of knowledge.

The simple ideas of how their affinities mixed with others could allow them to joint spells with other mages better in the future. But it could also allow for them to understand things they had missed because of their own perspectives.

The key though, was that many people had been attracted to the main square. Those who had been searched by the guards and other groups of angels or healers were there. But those who had managed not to get searched yet were also there. This allowed for many more people to be searched and at the same time for Walker to spread his senses out even more.

The all around appraisal skill might not be ideal for the fact that he was trying to found an actual hidden race specifically known for being hidden and even though not to exist at all outside of fairy tales. Regardless, he was doing this right now and making a major event to dig in to things.

Worst comes to worst, Walker would be able to locate the undead shifting slimes within the entire city anyways, especially the one that had attracted all of the smaller ones here to group up and begin feeding on the population.

”You are all under the proper assumption that we will be searching the entirety of Genesis territory, not just the main city, correct?” forty powerful mages had come together, the others were there to witness and sense with their own manas.

While this seemed like a lot of extra people, it also meant that the mages would learn and those weaker mages would become a better foundation for everyone overall. Therefore, it was something that helped calme the people who were in an uproar. Especially those who felt violated knowing they had to be searched with magic and also threatened by monsters inside these walls built so strongly.

As Walker used his skills to reach out to the powerful mages, he felt that they were allowing him to control their mana and giving him more than he realized. The adaptation of mages was usually slow, but these mages were different.

As the most powerful dark and purifying light mages, they had been on the front line for new studies and changing how they saw themselves at all times. Union spells were a key to their personal researchers meaning that they had long ago learned to unify their mana under a main focal point or main mage to test new skills.

Therefore, this was like Walker gaining an extra stock of mana perfectly tailored to his current needs. It allowed him to relax his mind as he spread his mana senses further. The focus on three manas was easy for him now that he had managed to be able to learn of them.

The undead mana had been something he felt long ago, his instincts remembered it because of his first major adventure out in to the undead ruins. Ingrained in his soul when he had seen the most powerful opponent, the immortal king, when he was much weaker.

Death mana was connected to him and Midnight, because the immortal king had once used it to taunt him and cause issues. But also because he had realized the difference and learned of life mana as well. He couldnʼt manipulate either to a high level, but Walker could influence them slightly. But he was not ready for such things.

Dakar mana on the other hand, he sensed it. He could feel the dense and decaying focused dark mana from the undead shifting slimeʼs cores. He could sense that focus on decay that most would not stay focused on. He could ignore the herbs and mages that used similar magic, instead, he felt mana flare in focus across the city.

”Fire dragon territory, dragonkin on vending stall eight in the rope of the third street or sparks, near the seventh lake of peace for water mediation, a young elven ice mage is controlled…ʼ

His words were said in monotone, Walker had to focus his words so that he did not let his emotions overtake him and cause any backlash to those that were with him.

It wasnʼt the guards who moved first hearing him as he rattled over eighteen places and descriptions. ”Halt the old man in purple robes, halt the young woman and her tamed beast ember hound, and halt the larger merfolk trying to hide behind the fruit stall to the left which is partially closed.”

The whisper that Walker let out was controlled with wind mana to go to Scylla. She had been waiting to see if Walker would find his theories while others would leave and head out toward the enemies hiding in plain sight. Midnight, Su, Remey, and even Alcie were all making their moves. It was unfortunate that Gil and Alma were occupied with the spirit trees, but that was a major piece of Genesis now, it could not be left alone.

”I have them already stopped. They should not have been able to hear you easily because of the wind barrier made to keep your words dulled. But they managed to do so and move before others.” Scylla had her leviathans move through the air to their smaller fomes and stop the four he had seen.

All four were watching carefully as Walker ended this connection with the mages and they began to speak chaotically. Walker even heard that one was offered a unique quest to change their class. A good thing, but also something to worry about later.

”I take it that all four of you, I would say three but you look too smart, are the hidden race that is hunting the undead shifting slimes. I have one question, did you harm anyone to enter Genesis? Actually, two questions, and will you live peacefully with us and offer a representative of your race to the council?”

He saw their blank faces twist in to confusion before he watched them shake their heads at the thought that they harmed anyone. Then he watched as they seemed more confused. ”We can talk about representation later then. Right now, I need help. I can isolate those weaker ones. Even those that can split off pieces of their bodies. But if one of your race perished her naturally or not, and its body became an undead shifting slime, then I canʼt sense it and I know that is the source of all this happening. Those monsters should not have been attracted to our safe homes.”

”I am Kerry, a member of the tamerʼs guild for ten years since I was old enough, this is my brother Keith. We can find who you are looking for. These two are too old to help, they just came because they smelled it.” The girlʼs voice was like any humanʼs Walker had heard, but the slight worry in her eyes proved that this was touching something she feared.

”Then I welcome your help. Both of you in whatever form you take will have it. I want the best for the people here. The races are united and as long as you help with that, you are ones I protect as well.” Walker released all the mana around him and saw understanding from all four. He had to worry about a threat first. Other things later.
