Master Of None

Chapter 2245: 2245. Spiritʼs Lightning

”There was a lot to catch up on while I was busy, but we are balanced again. Iʼm surprised Fleur still hasnʼt come back.” Walker was sure that Fleur wud have sensed the natural elemental rune forming. It was made of natural mana after all and also formed way ahead of schedule.

As the leader of the spirit race, Fleur had been growing at an immense rate. Not only had she managed to learn some of the intricacies of communicating between the other races, she had also begun to highlight the same characteristics within her own.

The spirit race was a newly formed race. The only thing that had held them back was that they were intrinsically connected to the world and part of why the world had not collapsed as the world was cut off from existence.

Due to that, there was a major decrease in the elemental spirits that formed or were even active. As such, the spirits that rose to help balance things were held back in a way. Not necessarily held back by their growth in intelligence, but the way that they could use that intelligence.

Their instincts had stopped them from pushing beyond mana being the manas of the world and growing to control the manas of an area where they existed. Leattign them follow only the path that kept them as elemental spirits. Not that this was bad.

The elemental spirits were still part of the world and still part of all things. They were not necessarily less than the spirit race. However, being isolated within the world had allowed the elemental spirits there to grow differently. To adapt and alter themselves through their long lifespans while gathering manas and working together with other races.

Therefore, as a spirit race now, their bonds with those races and even contracts with some tamers, or spirit mages, were very important. It literally bound the races together at a very deep level that was hard to comprehend for those that did not have those bonds.

Beyond that, the elven spirit mages who had already been rare to start with, now had partners who had become a member of the spirit race. They could share manas with one another, and use it in terrifyingly precise ways.

That alone was why those people were considered unofficial members of the spirit race overall. Allowing for even more complicated rulings and other small details to be taken in to account.

Fleur herself, had been bonded with Walker, she was family to him and vice versa. However, she had learned through her bonds with him and knew very well how to be a leader that stood for good beyond just her race. As such, she had become a somewhat hidden important figure working constantly to handle potentially large issues.

The spirit race gaining golems to have more proper physical bodies was one of these issues.

While a good thing since they would be able to do more without worrying about losing their manas to unfortunate accidents as the spirit race had made dense mana bodies as they ascended from being elemental spirits. These dense mana bodies were fluid and could be dragged along by the flows of manas around. They could also be harnessed by those with the skills to control manas.

Not that many mages would be able to trump the control a spirit race had over their own affinity mana.

The fact that the spirit race lacked knowledge about other races had led to some awkward events. Especially those that gained golems that they could dwell within. Causing these small events had made it clear that the spirit race needed to learn rules and laws to maintain balance within the races. But it also allowed them to learn more and more.

The different affinity spirit race beings had begun separating out in to Genesis. Those with aquatic golem bodies they dwelled in had begun to make more natural fisheries for the canals and the large lake which was the water dragon territory.

Others worked lifting heavy things, exploring dangerous new wilderness areas, and even guarding the city in the night and day. So much was happening that it was becoming a very large part of Genesis.

Where things had changed suddenly, and the reason that Fleur was so focused on her tasks right now, were the elemental spirits coming from the bridge to the elemental planes.

Some had been unable to move from the island. That was simply because they ended larger amounts of purer elemental manas to maintain their forms. They were also somewhat intelligent based on their age and the planes that they came from. Therefore, they could easily communicate to some degree using mana.

The interesting bonds between these elemental spirits and the spirit race were leading to some unique situations. Places and times where the manas would be used to help the elemental spirits maintain their forms, or even like what was happening right now.

Walker and the others had not believed that they would have any interaction with the lightning elemental spirit that they had seen while they were exploring the uniqueness of crossing elemental planes. The rest of the party had no idea that this had happened, but Fleur was handling it.

This lightning spirit had managed to follow the manas as they changed and break free of the limitations much sooner than what the party would have imagined. As such, they had taken on a more solid form of stark yellow lightning which was different from the blue colored lightning that they had all seen before.

Being able to use the manas that made lightning to change the form of its body was showing tremendous growth. That was all inspired by those that had saved its life when crossing its home. That inspiration to grow and be able to leave that small and shaky elemental plane also caused a slight ripple that even the sages had felt.

However, before they had needed to do anything, the lightning spirit had left the planes upon following the manas to the bridge and making its way to the world. From there, it had been found by the few spirit race individuals instructed by Fleur to keep an eye for dangerous elemental spirits moving through the bridge.

After that, they had been brought to Fleur and began absorbing larger amounts of mana. Some smaller elemental spirits and even threw themselves in to the flow of this mana absorption to become part of what was forming.

This was not unknown for the elemental spirits, Fleur had become a nature spirit because she had been multiple high spirits of different elemental manas coming together. Therefore, every single spirit and spirit race saw these sorts of events as important to their very existence. Along with returning to their roots as part of how they formed in the first place from mana as a whole.

Although, this moment the weak elemental spirits were benign used to purify the control and form of the lightning spirit. As such, it was acclimating to the flow of the worldʼs mana and how it was changing. Giving it a more solid form there. But it was also changing itself in to a more physical form due to all three manas which came together to make lightning too.

Fleur oversaw this out of both respect and security. She knew and had also met with this spirit while within the elemental planes. She had gained a lot of strength while there too. But when she sensed that the balance and the condensing of the lightning spirits body had changed directions, she realized that it had begun ascending to become a proper spirit race.

A lightning affinity spirit race member that would be entirely unique since she had not seen any such one before.

What they had not realized, was that the class of these spirit race members also decided upon the forms that their mana took to become who they were. This lightning spirit was becoming a proper race and gaining a class.

As lightning became more humanoid as it followed the desire to be like those that saved it, long crackling hair formed and a robust humanoid body. It was very similar to a humanʼs but clearly different. One of the most refined spirit race yet. Even nFleur was only more human like because of her bonds with walker and being able to sense how to use manas to take a form that looked that way.

Right now though, a lightning staff formed along with flowing robes of various colored lightning. Fleur was able to witness the fill formation and effects of a lightning affinity spirit race member embodying their class as a lightning storm sage.

The first, and also one of the strongest spirit race members to appear since the discovering that they could dwell within dwarven golems as the dragon golem has shown the world. Another major step for their race.
