Master Of None

Chapter 2058: 2058. Not Just A Statue

”Why do I sense so much water mana? And why is the ground moving?” Walker spoke out loud. But he didnʼt get an immediate answer. Instead, he just started toi register that he heard some very similar sounds as to what he had heard before.

”Three days my foot! You sat there like a statue for a week!” The fist that hit Walkerʼs shoulder carried all the annoyance that was in the voice. However, it felt like a fair response if he had actually sat there for a week meditating when he thought that he would be much faster than that.

”Walker, you didnʼt even move when Alice called you.” Su spoke up next. Before Walker had even opened his eyes, he had realized exactly what had happened and what had been happening.

He could sense the manas around him with much more clarity. It was like studying the world for the first time after never truly seeing it. He felt that he could better call on elemental manas than before. Better call on the natural mana that was also all around him.

Yet, he also noticed the other manas flowing here and there. The life mana that flowed in odd patterns through the air and even within hemetal of the ship beneath him. The death mana that came and went to counter that life mana. He couldnʼt touch them and influence them because he still lacked that information, but he could sense it.

There were also the rare bits of space mana that appeared whenever someone would move or something would move. It felt odd to sense it. Almost like trying to hold on to an after image. It wasnʼt really there to touch, but it could be registered.

Even more mysterious was the seemingly heart beats like mana of time. It appeared every single moment that Walker tried to register what it was. But just like that, he would lose grasp of that feeling. Almost as if it was mocking him. Or playing an awkward game of tag. Always out of his perception but there on the edges.

He had yet to comprehend the time mana and where it sat in the world. But because he knew that it existed in the larger picture, he could now vaguely sense it. He could feel where it should be and where it was.

With all of this, he was picking up small bits of corrupted mana. The manas that were vibrating with their own life about them. They were having their fights with the manas that were calm and organized. Like they were trying to conform to the world but kept being rejected because they had not been merged with nature as other manas did.

All of this stunned Waker since he was looking without looking. His true mana sense was definitely helping here beyond what it had. That could be said to be his perception of the world now. It had been opened up beyond what it had once been.

A change of perspective was what he had ended the entire time for him to register what he was missing. Even the way that fire and light mana existed around him was different. The fusion that happened to just bring heat down from the rays of the sun to where he sat was odd and new to him.

He had never properly focused on this interesting relationship that didnʼt really cause damage but made the world warm enough to even live in.

As he opened his eyes, he found that the entire part had come over. Midnight and Onyx as the only two that were resting calmly. ”You both told everyone that I was waking up from my meditation?” he could tell that from just their binds. He could sense them much more clearly.

Besides just their binds alone, he could catch on to what was being shared between them. Small portions of their manas were being sent to him and his to them.

While he had known that this was a potential and already knew that his race was changing in unique ways because he was receiving something from a dragon and an abyssal serpent, Walker had not known how to a detailed method.,

Right now though, he could feel that the added manas that they would gain but their bodies didnʼt need right away, would be traded. This brought along changes to all of them. Midnight was able to better comprehend the skills that Walker had related to her. The elemental affinities in particular.

The same was for Onyx. he was gaining more intelligence. His mental abilities were influenced by the dragon and the human emotions that came with Walker and Midnight. This sounded like he was thinking of Onyx as foolish and less intelligent. That could only be wrong.

It was just adjusting the strength of a dragonʼs mind and the adaptability of a humanʼs mind to the more instinctual mind of the abyssal serpent.

Just realizing these things allowed Walker to understand why his body was naturally stronger now than it had been. He didnʼt gain these things from just leveling up. It also came from the bond switch Midnight and Onyx.

He was better able to use the dragon related skills because Midnight had shared her mana with him through their bind. He was better able to manipulate natural mana and understand it because of his bids with Fleur. Then, he was better able to absorb mana and draw it in because that was what Onyx did to sustain himself. It was all connected more than what he had even realized.

”Look at me.” Alice spoke with more rigid of a tone than what Walker had ever heard before. This snapped him right out of any thought about mana researching, his bonds with Onyx and Midnight, and anything else.

The angry face he found Alice making did not match the slight fear he felt for himself. Not because Alice could hurt him, but because he had surely hurt her by being in this meditative state for too long. Much too long.

”Iʼm sorry. I got too caught up and should have let myself be more observant. I promise to make it up to you.” Seeing that he knew what to say and what he had to make up to her, Alice let the angry expression fade before taking Walkerʼs hand to help him up from the ground.

”How have things been going? I figure that a lot has happened and I missed it all?” He felt ashamed that he had missed so much. Especially since he could see three shops to each side. Plus, five more were behind them. Genesis had more than done what they had promised when it came to the growth of their ships.

Yet, he noticed that they were mostly undamaged. Not a single monster mark on them to be honest. ”They made the teleportation runes big enough to teleport the ships! How much mana did that take!” Walker suddenly realized that this was the only way it all happened.

”Now he catches on to the runes used. Not even that we are in the ocean. Or that one of the ships has trees on it since the elves brought trees in case they couldnʼt manipulate the plants on the island we are traveling to.” Remey also sounded a little annoyed. But she was also more relaxed now that Walker had woken up properly from meditation. It meant a lot of new information for sure.

”The elves needed that… Oh, the island that might be close enough for the demon lord to get mana from the elemental planes.” Walker grasped the concept after remembering what he had been told. But he also looked around and realized that there were a few echidna warriors nearby. The echidna must had arrived to be able to join the final upcoming fight.

”Well, you missed the ships arriving through a newly made teleportation rune that focuses on space mana which a first of his kind space rune carver managed to create after completing a quest to learn the space rune itself. Then it was used to move the ships from where they were created, two of them being unfinished.”

They were finished by the joint forces while the vampires began to show their strengths in regeneration. Thatʼs how we have their entire race on the ships with us below deck where the sunlight will not bother them. They chose to join us in this battle so that they can show their will to change their raceʼs fate too.”

”And we have also managed other things but you will catch up.” Su said a little bit however, she also saw that the royal dragons who had been flying in the sky had noticed that Walker was awakened. They were surely going to ask him what he understood.

”I guess I have to tell everyone what I understood first.”
