Master Of None

Chapter 2228: 2228. Impure And Pure

Gil began to guide the soldiers that came with them to safe spots. With his senses he was able to pick up on the best places to hide out the cold that was increasing. It was a slight boost to his innate high elf blood within him.

Every elf had a deep connection to nature. Gil was not an exception to this. However, he was even more in tune to it since he had high elf blood within him now. As such, he began to sense the places that the foreign manas with higher density could not rest easily.

That made them the perfect places to start fires and get the people to rest before they were evacuated. His guidance for the people who had begun to settle this island so that they could research it was very important.

Meanwhile, Su and Remey were sharing the healing potions that they had with those who had been affected by the cold. The dropping temperature and the panic had caused various injuries. Especially to those unprepared in thinner clothing. People on an island would not normally deal with a cold like this.

All the while, Onyx and Midnight began to travel with Walker toward the bridge to the elemental planes. The high amount of water mana coming through was incredibly dense. So much so that it turned directly in to ice.

This wasnʼt some special form of water mana, but the purist it could be at the dentist it could be. This meant that whatever or whoever was coming through were either made of water mana or had very high amounts of it within their bodies.

”I already knew that the elemental planes moved. Thatʼs why it will be hard to gauge where we might end up when we travel there. But it also means that monsters might come through to meet us.” Walkerʼs words kept Midnight and Onyx on alert. They had to be ready for whatever it was that was trying to come to their world.

As a burst of water mana pushed through, Walker channeled his own mana. He coudlnʼt take control over all the water mana, it would require a larger amount of his own mana and he didnʼt want to waste it if he didnʼt know what might be appearing from the bridge to the elemental planes.

This didnʼt mean he couldnʼt gather the fire mana which was being pushed away by the water mana though. Instead, it would actually be easier since the dense water mana wanted to naturally resist the ambient fire mana in such a warm climated island.

The fire mana gathered and Walker condensed it in to a ball making the frost melt. It wasnʼt enough to stop the water mana from spreading elsewhere, but it greatly reduced the drop in temperature. It also made the direct entrance from the bridge to the elemental planes much less enjoyable for whatever was coming.

Dense white claws came in to view first. Easily the size of Walkers head, or at least every single claw was. The hand they were attacked appeared to also be made of the same white ice. But surprisingly, the figure that stepped out was only about eight feet tall. The large ice horns and other pieces of condensed ice armor on their body proved that they were a powerful being.

The dense water mana kept them covered in their defensive armor, but was also a part of what they were. A species that gathered water mana to become stronger, just as the dragons did. But for these beings, the water mana created their armor over their main bodies. Not that this made them weaker, Walker could tell this thing had power.

ʼImpure Ice demon

Having lost their mind due to the highly condensed water mana, this once pure ice demon has fallen in to madness. Seeking out whatever they can to find power, the monster that this pure ice demon has become is considered a stain on the pure ice demon race.

Normally never leaving the deeper water elemental plane, the impure ice demons would be hunted down by the pure ice demons to ensure that they do not cause imbalances within the water elemental plane. Their hunt for power causes them to kill any monster or race that they encounter to take away any water elemental mana within them.

Due to losing their minds and falling in to madness, the impure ice demons can not absorb water elemental mana normally. Instead, they need to consume it to be able to grow stronger. This is the dangers of their monstrous existence. They will constantly consume anything that possesses water mana, even their former family.

Everywhere they go radiates a dangerous water mana that can cause ice spikes and shaper ice to form naturally. They also have great physical resilience because of the condensed ice armor on their bodies which is a side effect from losing control of their mana overall. Pure ice demons can control their ice armor and their skills better.

If left alone, they can become a great evil ice demon. A being known for losing all former ice demon traits and only lives to destroy…ʼ

There was too much information for Walker to deal with right now. The monster that stepped out had once been a race called a pure ice demon. That was just part of everything, but right now, the madness that consumed this thing was clear in its icy blue eyes. Nothing of whatever it had once been remained.

”It was pushed to madness by mana too powerful for it to comprehend. It is a monster and not a race to reason with. Kill it.” Walker immediately saw that the impure ice demon felt the vast water mana of the ocean and wanted to leap within it. But right in front of it were three beings with some water mana very unique within them.

Even with the fact that the water mana within the world was weaker, this impure ice demon was not that affected by it, it had plenty of condensed mana that was more or less part of its body. It didnʼt need more accept to grow in power. So, it could easily step away from the water elemental planes and hunt for more. A bridge had appeared perfectly there for it to do so too.

As Walker, Midnight, and Onyx prepared to attack the crouching figure of the impure ice demon, they heard a shout that stopped them. ”Do not lay your hands on my son! I will be the one to put an end to this disgrace!”

In a burst of ice, another figure appeared from behind the impure ice demon. It was slim and more or less like the demons that Walker was used to. However, it had blue skin that seemed to replicate the clear blue water around most beaches. There was also an aura of elegance around her as she stabbed the back of the impure ice demon with a lance made of glacial ice.

ʼPure ice demon

One of the many races within the water elemental planes, the pure ice demons live to become one with water mana at its deepest levels. They also live to serve the balance within their plane so that it will remain pure and is not broken apart by other elemental manas.

They are often considered cold tempered by those that have offended them, however, if they are respected, they will often make sure fire bonds. That is if one is lucky enough to meet them in the first place. Due to their nature, they are very reclusive and live to strengthen their bodies with water mana to reach a proper singularity with that mana.

Their control over ice is exceptional. As such, they are constantly able to create ice armor that they will spend years forging with their gathered pure water mana. They also condense it in to a singular weapon which they will spend their lives learning to use…ʼ

The dense ice armor all around the shoulder of the impure ice demon shattered as blue blood fell to the ground and froze in to shards of ice. The glacial ice lance that the pure ice demon wielded had easily broken the armor like it was cutting through butter,

”My child, you were too eager for power. You gave away your very soul to grow. I will mourn you. For now, return to the endless waters.” from the wound, massive ice spikes of incredibly dense water mana formed in to glacial ice.

The incredible force pushed Walker, Midnight, and Onyx back slightly. This woman was powerful. She wasnʼt just demanding of respect, she had clearly earned it through years of incredible effort.

As Walker saw a slight glint of sadness in her eyes, she soon snapped to look at him. She could sense that there was more going on now than what should be. It was time to accept the consequences of what had just happened.
