Master Of None

Chapter 2457: 2457. Elemental Walk

Spending additional time at the wind elemental spirit tree was not necessarily in the books for the day. The area around the tree became very busy as many with deeper connections to wind mana were rushing there. Especially those who had the chance to learn something from the changes in the wind mana.

The group passed by the water elemental tree and found that it was already being taken care of. Current had rested at the base of the tee and shared some of his mana within. He had felt the unbalanced flow of manas and checked in himself before anyone had said anything.

Recently with his work going through some of the water sources that changed in the surrounding areas near Genesis, he had helped identify new underwater streams and portions of the rivers. He also had plans to check the frozen cold river that Walker and Midnight had recently listed.

His plans for it were simple, study the ways that the water mana changed to ice without changing. Find that line between where the water would choose not to freeze or would freeze even though it has so much dense and pure water elemental mana causing it to become colder.

He wanted to study it so that he could better understand the different types of water mana that naturally occurred. By resting near the elemental spirit tree, he could sleep and be able to calm his own internal mana before he went venturing with a larger group to that area.

But that was one less tree to worry about since Walker knew it was well balanced and growing perfectly fine. Alm and Gil had somewhat sensed this but they didnʼt want to cut their walk through the spirit tree short. Alice and Walker were also enjoying their time while Fleur was contacting many of the elemental spirits and even had met with some of the younger newly reborn elemental spirit trace members.

Traveling to the light elemental spirit treeʼs area was not really that much of a focus. Alice had already sent word ahead that some extra nutrients and mages should work to add more mana to it. This was something that she had done since many of those in the area looked toward her for direction.

Simply put, she had a very deep connection with light even though she was mainly focused on her healing aspect of her abilities with songs. However, that did not keep back the fact that she could use potent attacking abilities that would use the very same songs and light mana. She just chose not to since it was not in her heart to always fight.

She preferred to heal and empower others.

This allowed for the group to focus on something different. The dark elemental spirit tree.

Walker himself and not see it much since it was planted and grown. Not because he was less interested, but simply because he just hadnʼt had the time to do what he was doing now. He also knew that Mordant had been checking up on it constantly so it would be in good care no matter what happened.

That wasnʼt the case right now though, Mordant had let notice that after the endless night forest visit and the meeting of the twelve covens, he was going to meet Onyx. He wanted to be in the same area as the naturally occurring darkness elemental rune so that he could learn more. If he was needed, he could easily come back yet again.

Regardless, he was away and the best people to check up on the dark elemental spirit tree were heading toward it right now.

The area within the dark territory managed by Mordant was unique. It wasnʼt actually dark per se. It was actually fairly bright. It was just that the dark mana radiated through it causing the day to be slightly dim and there to be significantly more shadows than anywhere else within Genesis. Allowing for those with the aversion for light to travel here much more easily than anywhere else.

There was also the fact that the gith ehr was entirely pitch black minus the days when the moon was completely full. Allowing for those with unique affinities for certain kinds of light to focus entirely on that one form of light rather than separating light manas. Or, for those who needed the purer dark mana to grow to use it as such.

Alice hummed a little and saw how minimal the light mana was. The light mana that was here did not react quickly. It was bound and holding some balance so it could not easily react to her songs. Something she decided to test.

”Walker, I like it here a lot.” Her words barely caused the light mana to move. She could entirely relax here because the light mana was not prevalent enough to love.

Since she always worked on controlling the light mana and her own mana since she had been given the way to do so. No matter what she had to suppress or control herself in some manner no matter how tiny. Here she could minimize it even more allowing her to relax a lot more than normal.

”Just donʼt spend too much time here. The dark mana might pile up in your body since you arenʼt used to it. But we can come for some walks here. I heard there is a restaurant that specializes in canned and fermented items using dark mana in them. It could be interesting.”

This was a form of cooking that some of the magic chefs had begun to use. They utilized naturally occurring manas to improve food and make them to help specific affinity people.

While the effects are not major for those already strong and fully grown, for the younger people who eat them it promotes more growth. It also promotes some better understanding in their naturally occurring affinities. Some people even hired specialized mana chefs for their families because of this.

All this aside, the people here were some of the quieter peoples of Genesis. This was simply because light and dark affinity people were not as common as the four main elemental manas.

The light territory was always bustling because of the fact that many healers used light mana. But when it came to the dark territory it was slower because it dealt in dark mana which was seen as more dangerous for its decaying effects.

In reality, is was romantically as dangerous when used correctly. The herbs that some feared because of their potent dark mana affinity could be used to create amazing fertilizers. They would help the earth break down tough items that could be toxic and turn it in to fuel for the plants to become larger and stronger.

Understanding the places where every mana worked to better grow the world was exceptionally important. Especially when noticing the fact that some manas could be used to healing that would often be destructive.

Some do the more unique healers, the dark healers, hard dark mana to break down deadly poisons or venoms in the body. This would allow the light affinity healers to regrow or repair those damaged areas of the body that were no longer being harmed constantly.

The dark elemental spirit tree was putting off the controlled and calm dark mana needed for these sorts of procedures. It also helped those learning stealth and scouting since they often had to hide themselves.

What was even more shocking were the dark elemental spirits who had become high dark spirits that popped in and out of shadows. The dark elemental spirit tree was like their playground. Not entirely physical due to some branches being shrouded in dense shadow that allowed it to arch out even further.

This could be said to be an aspect of dark mana that went and touched upon spatial mana even deeper than other manas because it could utilize the space within shadows and between the elemental planes as its own.

Walker had considered this but not really delved in to it due to the dangers. Many royals or elder dark dragons had been lost to that chaotic and dangerous place while trying to get to the true dark elemental planes. Part of Jim thought that with the dark elemental spirit tree he had a better chance though. It grew there naturally in some ways.

”Youʼre going around in circles again, arenʼt you?” Gil caught on that Walker had stopped while looking at the shifting shadow branches and leaves. But he also had his own inspiration.

He had learned stealth skills to a higher level due to him being part of the sort and also an archer. But he had been at a loss when looking at the tree and how some elemental spirits used it to hide away. So it only took a moment before he caught on to the dark elves hiding in the branches as well and training.

”And we have lost them both.” Alma shook her head while Alice giggled. It seemed they would have some time to spend while the boys figured out something interesting.
