Master Of None

Chapter 2920. Not Done Yet

The burden of carrying the space was an interesting thought.

For Walker, he had felt it clearly himself. He knew what kind of pressure it was and how it would affect him. However, he also felt that he could alter the way he had considered it previously.

That pressure was more than just the pressure that the mana and plane would have on space as it was fused with space mana as part of the foundation that made it up entirely. Therefore, that pressure was also the existence of the elemental plane itself. Not to mention the additional manas that made it up.

Meaning that any life mana, death mana, and time mana also within the elemental plane would be put on the back of the one bonded with it too.

It meant that all mana had an effect on the body even if it was not being absorbed or used in other ways. Just existing itself would cause there to be remnant pressure that would consistently weigh on whatever was acting for an anchor if that space was cut from all of the space around it.

This idea meant to Walker that the elemental planes could only be handled with the strength necessary to move them. Remey was powerful and she could handle the pressure since this elemental plane was controlled and sealed by Walker. But also that she had the strength to resist more than just the fire mana that the elemental plane was primarily made up of.

The pressure weighs on the very existence of the being that carried it or guarded it too.

Pressure like that was not in one point or directed to one specific aspect of someone. It was on their entire being. Meaning that Walker could tell that Remey was facing a challenge that allowed her entire existence to be challenged in a way.

That sort of pressure would allow anyone to find limits and weaknesses within themselves. It was also spurring her innate life mana and internally stored manas alone with the manas that she absorbed from the fire elemental alone too.

She was using this entire experience to temper herself and Walker was able to let her do this form of training while he reached in to this fire elemental plane and followed through with the theories about forming dungeons as well.

It worked perfectly but also came with a clear added benefit.

Walker was able to focus his entire mind on just the central fire mana crystal formed as the core of what the fire elemental plane would be. If expanded and unsealed, it would show the weaker fire manas around the edges just the same as the greater fire elemental planes. This crystalline, mixed colored flame center area would be the same place that an elemental king would live if scaled to the same size of the greater fire elemental planes.

Knowing this, Walker immediately exerted his will on it and found that the mana making up this part of the fire elemental plane flexed and bent. Potentially because the space mana that it was attached to was not as solid as the space mana outside of the sealing.

Whether this was the case or not, Walker was not delving in to that aspect of space and what happened if space mana was separated in the sealing process. He could explore that potential path at a later date when he had more knowledge of carrying and teleporting with elemental planes in tow.

As he felt the mana and the density causing it to be more pure and crystallize, Walker understood that it was not truly a crystal in the same sense that a mana crystal would be. Instead, it was like soft crystal. It wasn’t solid because the mana could still flow. But Walker wondered if he could use the space mana to condense that and turn the space in to something within rather than outside.

His mind drifted to the forming of the multi dimensional storage skill he had and how he had to condense a larger amount of mana and bring in certain other manas to bend the space and form the entire storage.

If he did it like that, but made the crystallizing aspect of the fire elemental alone become the core which was more condensed and had space mana within it, then would he not just be giving an item storage potential?

Yet, this would be different since he was partially allowing the potential for an elemental spirit to form this process.

They formed naturally with dense mana. They would start out as small floating balls of barely moving mana. Flowing and growing when colliding or being absorbed. They would grow through various stages and eventually become a high elemental spirit learning some intelligence but still bound to the natural will of the world and nature.

Even a grand spirit would still be bound to the will of the world unless it became a properly intelligent member of the spirit race.

These thoughts came to him while bringing in the space mana and forcing it to also condense. To form the same shape as an orb but as a spatial storage. It took in the fire mana and even other manas while Walker remained eyes closed allowing his senses to take hold of the situation.

When Su grabbed his shoulder and shook him from his thoughts, Walker was only able to glance out at the wildly smaller fire elemental plane.

He was sweating and breathing heavily, he hadn’t realized he was straining himself and actually bleeding slightly from his nose due to the exertion. He also hadn’t realized that Remey was pale, as she had been fighting the pressure too. Yet, he also saw that Remey was grinning, a full toothy grin that told him she advanced in some way.

”You were about to go too far. You need to keep in mind where you are.” Su gave a harsh reprimand, he faced showing nothing but seriousness.

He looked around and saw several inchworm like monsters, all had mouths of black obsidian teeth, most likely to consume the resources within a fire elemental plane. The mana had attracted them and he didn’t even want to try and use an appraisal on them as his head began to feel as if it was being smashed with a forge hammer.

He still tried to look and appreciate the much smaller palm sized elemental plane though.

’Extremely condensed miniature fire elemental plane - partial sealing

This is a fire elemental plane forced to condense in a process of attempting to create a dungeon.

While this is a process not performed normally, it is a process that has caused the outward size of the elemental plane to become extremely small. The inner space is now much greater causing it to be unbalanced but partially sealed in this state. It is missing crucial aspects that must form over the next seven days of compression if it is to potentially follow the path of becoming a dungeon.

There is a significant change to the inner space due to all the foundational manas also being condensed. Due to this, there is a chance that the inside of the fire elemental plane can radially change. There may be spontaneous creation of plants, elemental spirits, and other potential creatures that may have been partially introduced to the plane earlier...’

Walker tried to gather what else he could but found it too hard to focus. He also had no idea on what other steps or processes that needed to be taken now to make this a dungeon. He also didn’t know if just letting it naturally form over seven days was even possible.

He could tell the pressure on Remey was different. It most likely increased on her while he had been doing what he was doing before, while had been condensing the manas to much higher levels than he would normally do for anything else.

This had put much more strain on him than he had felt when he tried to make a mana crystal artificially. It was possible but needed a lot of mana manipulation strength.

”You still have it connected to me so I know you aren’t done. But if you try to push me like that again, me and my dragon’s aura will crush you.” Remey was partially threatening him while also bragging. This dragon aura skill was most likely an enhanced version of what Walker had and potentially more specific for Remey.

The way she was looking at him also said she gained more than that and was intentionally hiding more from him. Which was fair since he knew all too well he had not managed to earn her happiness right now. He had caused this to be much more stressful. He also had to rest himself so he had no intention of arguing and just nodded while starting to rest.

Remey was the same, they both could rest easily since they knew Su was guarding them. Protecting them.
