Master Of None

Chapter 2155: 2155. A Faster Chase

”We know what else there is!?”

”Know? We can see it too, there is enough mana to make some rough shapes. Isnʼt that right Fleur, and our new friend?” Walker was smug while looking at how much mana that the pair had already gathered.

Fleur was able to manipulate all the manas because she was a nature spirit. She had once embodied the world in a way. Now she was embracing the unique path that came with elemental balance which made her a natural mana spirit. Also the leader of the spirit race.

Beyond that, the lightning arc spirit had just learned an immense amount from her. Therefore, he was able to take a more solid lightning form without sending any sparks at anyone. Walker had significantly eased off manipulating the manas around them. It had a very defined control over the light, fire, and water manas mixed to make its body in to the unique lightning that they could all see.

With Fleur and the lightning arc spirit working together, they were able to draw in the manas around and start to create rough shapes. Enough that the group could see at least a hundred regular skeletons moving with the immortal king. Beside it was a very large undead, this was more like an elephant type of monster than any of the others.

From what Walker could tell, there were feline type monsters, zombies with bones protruding from them, and another potential race that might not have looked the same in ancient times as they did now. The features they had were similar to humans, but the bones that grew around their faces were strikingly different.

The only others were the odd shapes of what could only be young reptilian monsters. They all had different pieces of their bodies missing though. As if they had been taken to be used elsewhere.

The striking thing though, was that there was another thing moving too. It has a large covered figure riding it which would be the immortal king. This large monster, this large undead, had a round shape and was pulling itself forward with ten legs on each side. That didnʼt stop it from dragging the back half of its body though.

The lightning that made it up was enough to show some details, but that thing was clearly the reason that so many undead had been able to come to the elemental planes with the immortal king. It had a massive size and was holding a lot of weight. Walker and the rest of the party could only assume that there were dead pieces within.

Those pieces of dead whatever, could be used to make undead. Therefore, the immortal king had taken all of the saved undead specimens. All of the saved materials. All of them saved anything that could be useful and managed to create some form of spatial storage undead abomination. Now it was an undead used to create a small army of brutal undead.

”Thatʼs why even if the immortal king learns how to influence the manas of the elemental planes to move faster like I just did, he canʼt there is no way he could force that much weight and mana draw to go anywhere. Its mana cost would make me dead tired in a second. And since the immortal king weakened himself…” Walker let everyone else fill in the blanks themselves.

Yes they had come here for the express reason to hunt the immortal king, but now they had figured out a great deal more just from doing so. Traveling the elemental planes would be a major aspect of that.

”While we move, we just need to take the time to check that we arenʼt causing too much trouble. The beings that move like we will be moving have respect for how it influences the elemental planes. Some are monsters that affect the flows in smaller ways, like pushing the boundaries a little.”

Walker was referring to the tidal whales that psyched the group towards this interesting plane where three manas came to a collision. But even that was small in the grand scheme of elemental planes. It was something that would happen naturally because these monsters traveled in very specific ways within the planes themselves. Following a natural flow.

”If we make too large of a ripple, then the sages, elemental rulers, or other intelligent races could feel threatened. We already heard there was a war in ancient times. When the world wasnʼt connected to the elemental planes. They were clashing. So, what would happen now that the world is mixed back in to things and we came here causing more elemental manas to clash than usual?”

”I agree with Walker, we should let him take control of guiding us. Fleur will also be helping since she just demonstrated that she can do so.” With Su so strongly supportive of this, the others couldnʼt say a word against it. Plus, they knew that Walkerʼs idea would speed this up quickly.

”Oh, and Fleur told our new friend how to get to Genesis so we will have a new member of the spirit race waiting for us when we get home.” Walker tried not to think about the fact that he would have to handle the fact that it was more than possible for the elemental spirits within the elemental planes to take a step and refine themselves to become a member of the spirit race with higher intelligence.

The positive though, was that step seemed to take time. It either required a proper age and amount of mana understanding which the elemental spirits lacked right now. Or, it required a greater deal of outside assistance. Whether that was a change in mana flow all around or just general mana from the world which came with a different existence from the denser and purer manas of the elemental planes.

Regardless, it was something to consider. Especially since they would have to create a better way for the new races and not just the spirit race to join the world. The angelic wind spirits would need to be welcomed at some point. It would be a very large challenge for the angels to meet those that descended from them and become reliant on just one elemental mana.

Especially with the angel raceʼs history in the world.

Everyone gathered together as the lightning spirit showed off the exceptional speed moving away from them. Lightning was fast. So much so that the lightning arc spirit was gone in a flash of light and left behind a vibration of crackling lightning. Especially with the lightning elemental plane nearby.

Walker made everyone get close and hold together. He was able to see that Remey had purposefully pulled a larger amount of fire mana toward her. She was filtering it through her body, increasing the mana that she needed to have within her to survive. Also, strengthening herself much more than she had been able to within the world with its lesser mana densities.

She was able to better use the fire mana to her own ends. Not just increase her strength. Right now, level was of no concern to her since she was well over what she could have even when she was in the world. But the thought brought her much more to mind. She didnʼt need to read anything about skills or levels any more. It was all in her head.

Just how powerful she was and that her alchemical brawler class was able to wield those flames better too.

Onyx was much the same. But where Walker had expected Onyx to mention if he had gotten a class or not. Especially since he had been doing so much to lead the rebirth of his own race among those of others in the world.

Looking closer, Walker saw that Onyx had indeed gained a class. The reason that Onyx had not said a word, was simple. He was never one to brag about himself. Only when playing a bit with his sister or the others. Never to be arrogant. He only bragged about the young serpents.

”Onyx, Iʼm proud of you. You were recognized as more than just the leader of your race. Not that you are called the abyssal and heavenly serpents any more apparently. Existence caught up with you on that.”

Walker was looking at two things. Onyx was no longer known as just an abyssal serpent, he was known by the system of existence as; equilibrium serpent, abyssal. It meant the balanced race of serpents, both of light and darkness affinities. They could achieve both in balance.

Then looking further, Walker saw the guide of equilibrium as Onyxʼs class. The very embodiment of leadership for his race in dark and light mana. A teacher to them so that they could learn how to become more than just a monster for generations to come. They were large titles to live up to. Not that this would be hard for Onyx, he did well without anyone adding pressure.

”Thank you. But I am still family. We do it together.” Onyx didnʼt need to say more. He focused on the denser light mana while enjoying the feeling of joy coming from the rest of the party. The feeling of warm loving pride.
