Master Of None

Chapter 2659: 2659. Ancient Elemental Planes

From what Walker could gather, the information about the elemental war had been nearly impossible to get. Yes he got bits and pieces from some all around appraisals or he would be told something here or there by a true sage. Overall though, he was barely getting any information. He would just hear how terrible it had been and how many problems the lack of balance in that time had caused.

He wanted to know more information about the kinds of monsters that fought. What races survived. What races disappeared. Who and how it ended completely.

It was already clear that the elemental kings had participated in some way to end the chaotic fighting while helping to bring balance. They even worked together to handle issues at the borders of their territories. They even split themselves to pieces to maintain the balance and peace even within their own elemental plane that formed them.

The books that Walker had found were not the best quality. They were due to be copied and stored yet again, but they were primarily about the life of a light stone golem during that time period.

It was more of a recording made while observing the light stone golem though.written by an unknown race as a whole, this journal followed the light stone golem from the time it was a small gollette and until it eventually fought a larger monster known as a grand crag crawler. While Walker didnʼt know what that monster was either, he was more surprised to find that the body of the light stone golem was able to resist the other manas because of stored light mana within its body purifying itself of any other manas that entered its body.

Meaning that it could travel through other elemental planes.

There were not many monsters or races that could travel through the elemental planes with any means and in safety. It made Walker wonder who had written this journal in the first place. He couldnʼt find a shred of evidence. All he knew was that this was a journal found in a merchantʼs wares and bought to be added to the archive as outside the radiant light elf territory.

The light rock golem traveled and battled to become stronger, finding ways to abuse the crystals within its body and strengthen the light affinity crystals that make up its body through more purification and gathering of scattered light mana. Furthermore, it tracked the battles of a light elemental monster known as the iridescent fairy queen.

This iridescent fairy queen is a monster of ancient and extreme preparations. A more ancient species that would eventually become the fairies in the world and some within the elements planes. They were a race now, not a group of monsters. But in that ancient past, this was not some small flying race or small flying monster, instead, it was a humanoid creature that utilized all forms of light mana to gather on its body and walk as if it was its own moving light elemental plane.

The territory around it became a small light elemental plane causing the breaking and chaos of whatever elemental plane that it traveled through. Continuing this, it also fought other larger and destructive beings within those elemental planes. Seemingly just to fight them and prove its strength over them.

This was an era of battle and chaos in general, but to think that a being could drag enough mana in to their body that whatever ambient mana radiating off of them became a mobile elemental plane was insane. Walker could think of using a domain skill now and there but all the time to the level that everything around him would be changed regardless of intention? That was just too intense for the level of strength he possessed right now.

Then again, the light stone golem also managed to meet one of the ancient fire dragons, one that was responsible for expanding the fire elemental plane in to the water elemental plane and creating the border named as the forest of steam. A place where water and fire mana had been forced together to become an entire unique elemental plane made of the two in balance. While the creation had come because the fire elemental plane was being forcefully expanded against the water elemental plane, it was a show of what strength an ancient dragon that had been killed was able to accomplish.

The note of its death was just that, a small scribbled side note without any more detail than that. Meaning that there was more to the author of this journal. Someone who was able to hear and learn of massive events like an ancient and extremely powerful dragon being killed.

Knowing the strength that some of the ancient species could have was one thing, but realizing that there was someone who could travel and see all this in safety without interrupting the natural life of what they were studying was another thing. This meant that there was either a race capable of following these beings or had once been a race capable of such things.

Walker flipped through the worn journal and found another instance where the light stone golem fought against something called a howling disaster. It was within the wind elemental plane which made it seem as if it was a monster that used wind to attack and powerful enough that the sound of howling winds actually became destructive as well. However, the light stone golem had somehow managed to survive and escape it, even wounding it to the point that the howling disaster perished a short time later.

That was when Walker realized that the one writing the journal also could focus on multiple places at one time. That they were not limited to being in one place. That alone meant something akin to the elemental kings, true sages, or maybe even origin beings capable of splitting themselves in to golems or literally apart in to portions of their body controlled by their will. Or it was something else entirely different capable of the same things.

The thing is, if it was a true sage, then there would have been some sign of that. A true sage couldnʼt wander in to the other elemental planes without something helping them. Walker saw how they became weaker in the borders. The elemental kings would be similar too. Even in chaos, they might not have formed properly or even have been able to follow and document anything about the monsters wandering from plane to plane in that era.

Meaning that origin being would be the one responsible for this journal.

Before his mind could refocus on this theory, the keeper of this archive met him again, a glint in her eyes. ”I see you are interested in the books and journals related to the ancient elemental wars. I have three others here, they are copies. You can take them with you if you have books about the world you wish to leave here.” Walker smiled and knew the exact kind of person she was.

While the keeper of the archive was clearly attached at a deeper spiritual level and might not age the same as the other radiant light elves, her desire to expand knowledge was already made clear earlier. Now, she was just showing it openly as he handed over the races of Genesis, a book about the passed history of the kingdoms, and even a book telling about the recent changes in travel amongst the kingdoms with the world having expanded and reconnected to the elemental planes.

None of the books he handed were a sum total of their topics. They were too new or were too small of a book to tell everything. But to those without any knowledge, they were valuable to the point that they would be a great starting point. Especially with the small details about each known race of Genesis right now. That would allow the radiant light elves to be able to better understand the various races they would meet.

”I hope to read a little more. After that I will go for a walk with Midnight and Onyx. They are headed my way since they finished doing what they were learning about.” Walker could sense the pair coming closer to him using their bond between them as a way to find him. He could also guess that they had gotten bored a little with learning about the children of the radiant light elves. There was only so much entertaining that they wanted to do.

It was a good chance though. He knew that Midnight and Onyx would like to try the local foods a little before they were to leave for the next elemental plane. Walker also could vaguely sense that there was a small trail of dark mana nearby. Becoming to them, well, to him.
