Master Of None

Chapter 1737: 1737. Just A Little Life

The touch from the light mage had shared a little mana with Walker. But that mana had the small amount of life mana that the life mage could control within himself. It was very easy to see that the tiniest bit of life mana carried a decent amount of strength. However, that was just it, life mana was hard to gather in general.

But the same could be said about death mana since Walker had attempted to grasp some understanding over that as well.

The heat that he could feel now though was his own life mana. Every being had life mana in them. That was what the life mage had said and that made a lot of sense. Everything was alive at some point in time.

That meant that everything should be able to sense the life mana they had eventually. The only issue was figuring out when and how that would happen. At the moment, Walker had started to meditate right where he stood. The others that were around had looked at him and understood the situation since he had done this before.

The life mage on the other hand had clearly exhausted himself with just a small gesture. It proved that using the life mana in one skill like that was his limit. But if he had spread it through all his buffs and healing, then it would have made a major difference. The only reason he had done this was because he had been asked and also that there was time before he would be needed. He could recover.

On top of that, the Fel archangel had specifically told him that he needed to help Genesis as much as possible. Since Walker had shown interest in learning skills from the life mage system, it made sense to help in that regard. Especially since the rumors about someone that could learn all sorts of basic skills was already spreading from the higher ranked angels to the many lower ranked angels.

Any researcher would find that they were amazed by this idea. Walker was going to be a massive attracting feature to them. The Fel empire was all about knowledge. If someone could learn all their skills, then that person could be the greatest source of knowledge they had ever seen. Let alone what other skills that person might learn.

This was also another reason that the Fel archangel had so easily given in to everything. The values he had were fading in temptation with a greater research.

The flowing warmth that Walker could feel was more than just the mana that had been shared with him. It was also his own. Not his mana though, but the central mana that stayed around his heart.

The mana that the body generated was more of a mystery. Many people believed that it was just the way of the world but after a lot of time, many believed that it originated in the heart before traveling through the body. This would be considered a hard thing to judge though due to the fact that many of those that experimented with it had to do some rough things.

Those rough experiments had made the study a harsh subject to traverse, making many people interested. It was also due to the skills needed to actually research such a topic that many people didnʼt do it either. Therefore, the origin of mana within the body was just said to be the heart and that was that.

But now that Walker could feel the difference between his mana and the life mana, he had realized that within his heart was a small ball of life mana. Just sitting there fused with him and adding strength to his body. It was the same feeling he had gotten every time he had used stat points or he had gotten stronger by receiving experience.

All of those feelings were the same life mana radiating through him with his mana.

”Ha! That was…? ” Walker looked around and found that he had been standing still for over an hour by himself. Most of the people were ready to move minus one or two groups still lining up and preparing.

”So you managed to figure something out?” Remey was snacking on something while organizing her potions. She had sets of them in multiple bags. Some that she had made, others that she had traded around with the angels from. But most of the sets were the potions that she had already given out but now was reorganizing to be prepared for this journey.

Different situations would need different potions at the front.

”Umm…” Walker was a little thrown off since he had not intended to fall in to meditation so quickly. He was just glad that he had the proper time to still prepare mentally. ”I felt the life mana in me so thatʼs good. But where did the life mage go?”

”Heʼs with the others that arrived. Those archangels seemed to already have many of their mages and soldiers ready. The Rize empire one isnʼt back yet but the Fel empire one seemed to be giving some final orders to the mages heʼs sending since he isnʼt allowed to cross the border.” Remey causally spoke while still working. she sounded a little bored since she had been doing this for a while now.

”Thatʼs good then. I didnʼt think that he would just show me what life mana was. I canʼt use it or even understand how it really works, but since he showed me how to sense it then I should be able to start. But thatʼs all I can do with life and death mana, sense them. But at least I can do that.

It should help with other skills.” Walker tried to understand how he would be using these new understandings.

When they had faced the undead in the ocean along the great coral reef, he had sensed the undead. The death energy all around that had sunk in to the sands was enough to warn him. Just having that ability was enough for him to be able to make them all wary of their situation. It had also been a heads up that they would have a tougher fight in the future.

If he applied this same thinking to the life mana, then wouldnʼt he be able to sense life? ”I think if I study the life mana while we travel I might be able to create or learn a skill that can sense life around us. Like a scouting skill but better. I will have to try it.” Walker wasnʼt certain it could be done since he had no idea what complexities that life mana had. But he was sure he could try.

”If you can sense things better then I want to do that too. I want to be able to punch things better without even having to look at them. There are blind brawlers you know.” Remey stood up and stretched while showing off the potion sets she had just finished.

”Blind brawlers had a battle sense skill though, right? Thatʼs what lets them feel where their opponent is. Wouldnʼt you prefer just to have that skill?” Walker knew that blind brawlers were rare but since it was such a unique niche system, it had been spoken about. Similarly with blind swordsman and other similar systems.

”What youʼre talking about sounds like a ten times better version of that. Who cares about battle sense when I could have a life sense? Nothing could hide from me.” Remey seemed to think only of the battle potential. Walker only wished that he could hear what Gil would think. Eh was sure that Gil would want the skill to scout and avoid enemies instead of fight them.

”Sure sure sure, you can fight with more people if I can learn and teach the skill. But just let me take my time. I have no idea what else I will try and learn. They still have time and space manas too. I have no idea what else the Fel empire has. Not to mention what the Rize empire has hidden when it comes to elemental magic.

I still havenʼt mixed many of the manas to do a lot yet.

”I just want to meet their alchemists. They had some herbalists but it feels like they were hiding their alchemists from me. Maybe they are jealous that I was able to make affinity potions.” Remey had a point. Walker had wondered why they had not been focused on affinity potions too much yet.

”Weʼll just have to wait and see what will happen. Maybe they havenʼt tested the affinity potions yet. Or they have theories and want to copy them first.” Walker teased Remey with this while he helped her distribute the reorganized potion sets to others.
