Master Of None

Chapter 2438: 2438. Scoutʼs Meeting

Both EWalker and Midnight were in the air moving at a rapid pace. They knew where the endless night forest was and they also knew that going back to Genesis would be pointless since they would both be moving toward the forest anyways.

It was also clear that there was a large group of elves making a move to enhance their borders since this forest mixed with their natural territory as well.

This wasnʼt just a precaution against an unknown group, but also a simple fact that they knew Akma, Gil, and their own queen would not be able to venture in to this area to help or fight. Alma and Gil were both occupied with the spirit tree and were not even told about this event. Simply to ensure their focus and lack of stress.

The current queen of the forest elves was focused on her own territory within the forest. She could not travel far due to the fact that she had bound herself to the forest as a whole. Even the root systems she had been growing toward Genesis through connections with many trees planted along roads had been broken due to the expansion of the world as the manas returned.

Therefore, the queen of the forest elves could not even choose to visit Genesis as it was right now. Nor could she visit any other kingdomʼs territory until she managed to grow that path of roots and trees which would allow her to have a connection to the first to keep herself healthy and the forest attached.

What was amazing was the control that was being held during all of this. Many races, including the elves and demi-humans felt that they had been threatened by being told they were unable to explore or venture anywhere past a certain point.

It was not something unknown to think that the witch class existed. Many witches had existed in the past when there wasnʼt classes and just system holders. That was a fact, but they were rare and often had unique methods of utilizing mana and skill.

Yet, the fact that a group of them now showed themselves and claimed to be the twelve covens made another question arise.

How did they survive the loss of manas to the world?

Walker had been thinking about this and wondered if there was another god class holder that had managed to protect this group the same ways that the cloud pirates had been protected. But he was also considering the unique nature of the witches themselves and what he had read about.

When it came to myths and legends about witches, there was a lot of strangeness. Whether it was potent magic that was hard to compete with, or it was magic that was just impossible to explain, a witch could do it. This made him believe that it was some focus on these twelve covens coming together and managing to survive because of the mana growing thinner and the world becoming smaller.

Waiting so that they could return when the time was right.

This also made some sense that they were in an exceptionally dangerous area. They would be able to rest there without fear that anyone would come bothering them. They just had to set up proper safety measures from any monsters around, if any left at all due to the changes in the world.

Their movements were not separate from Su and Remey who had arrived with several dragon elders. This didnʼt exclude Ventus, Current, Ignus, and Mordant who were available. Rise was still recovering and controlling her newfound strength while Terron was defending the eggs that had finally been laid by the earth wyvern queen. All of which had been more than just born earlier than scheduled.

That entire situation was something to celebrate since she had eggs which waited for a much longer time prior, and now another clutch which would be born in to a new hope within Genesis. A massively positive event that Walker knew would happen sooner than the normal and planned time because of the changes in mana to the world. Everyone was growing quicker now.

The scene of a large army of Genesis forces who specifically followed the dragons did not shock Walker. He knew they would be the ones that came to put themselves up front. They were prideful, but they also understood that when it came to the strongest of Genesis they would be the pens standing at the top point.

Otherwise, the forces that would be coming behind would be the demi-humans, the vampires, and then a mixed forces of the other races. This was because the vampires had a connection to the endless night forest and the demi-humans were the larger population of battle ready forces within the entire world for all everyone knew.

Not that having everyone here was a bad thing at all. Walker was actually glad to see them since he knew he would be treading in to an unknown territory to face an unknown force which deterred their own scouts and threatened them for entering the wrong territory.

Picking out Remeyʼs voice right away, Walker and Midnight found her speaking with a black robed man, thin and having black fur covering him, a scout from the demi-human side and clearly was the scout who had entered this forest in the first place.

Walker had already noticed the black leaves of some trees along with the purple and other dark colored grasses or shrubbery which began here on the edges. It wasnʼt the endless night forest because of a myriad of dark mana but the fact that the plants also existed in a darker variety causing the light to be dimmed overall and not make it inside the entirety of the forest, especially deeper within where the plants became denser and stronger.

”Walker, you got here too slow, this is the scout who got bothered by that witch. We are getting him to tell us where the lines are and how we can break through them to make sure these people know we arenʼt some push overs.” The scout looked at Walker asking for help with his eyes.

”What do you have to report?ʼ Ignoring Remeyʼs pushiness, he asked and waited patiently. The scout seemed to see this as a way out and fell on to the duty driven side of his profession.

”There was a line of small brambles and thorns, all seemed to grow a little too straight so I believed that it was some form of monsters or unique herb. As I moved to study it from both sides so that I could report it, I was caught by iridescent vines and held for a moment before strange rune like patterns flashed. That was when a cloaked figure appeared and spoke out.”

”Just one then?” This seemed important and Walker was confirmed as the scout nodded.

”Sir hero, I also noticed that the entire area began to smell very strongly of herbs, it was just like the alchemy labs. There were also many different strange rune patterns on the cloak, almost clear. I believe that they were allowing different manas to be drawn toward the witch in question. I do not understand the term, twelve covens, however, I believe it could be related to the twelve forces or groups that format them as we are Genesis and formed of races.”

”I understand. Thank you. Remey, I know that Ignus should be ready for a flight, why not have every dragon fly around and let it be known we are here. If the witch was willing to speak, maybe she will come out to speak with me as I walk in followed by you and Su. Midnight will hide away in the shadows just in case while the dragonkin holds down a camp here. It is safer that way.”

The simple idea to make a camp and also make their presence known was to show that they had the force to fight if needed and that threats might not be wise. However, Walker also wanted to make it clear that conversations could happen if done properly. Both a lesson and a warning for the twelve covens group that was here in the endless night forest.

”Now, I want to hear the report on what monsters are around and what else I might need to worry about when it comes to the outskirts of this forest. Also, bring the other scouts to me and have them start to examine the atmosphere of the edges of the forest. I want all the information possible about what this forest is and how it keeps itself separated from the other forest.”

The scout moved off and began following his orders. Remey smirked since she knew Walker was invested and already focused. She also saw that Midnightʼs eyes hadnʼt changed at all, she even looked more determined. A mystery to solve and a group to lead. This would be extremely interesting.
