Master Of None

Chapter 2257: 2257. Search The Sky

”What did you just say?” Terron was looking at Walker as if he had just heard something incredibly ridiculous.

”Itʼs definitely an interesting predator to have. But I thought it would say that they were extinct since we have never seen them or heard about them.” it was an interesting addition to what Walker had realized what they ahd gotten from the appraisal scrolls about these monsters.

ʼTheir natural predators are normally the youngest of the sky wyverns. However, after hundreds of years of being hunted and loss of nesting grounds, the sky wyverns are nearly extinct. Their ability to use wind mana internally to shred and pulverize these parasites before releasing the earth mana and sands is incredible.

This was a simple method of using the earth mana within these parasites to temper and control their lighter bodies.ʼ

That last paragraph in the all around appraisal made Walker realize a few things.

This parasite could be crushed and destroyed by incredibly potent winds.

That this parasite had been eaten by the youngest of the sky wyverns because it would help them grow and be able to control their weight. Something that the older sky wyverns would most likely have an easier time of doing because of their age and control of wind mana growing.

And lastly, that the sky wyverns were not an extinct monster right now.

Unlike the heart wyverns who were protected and recognized by Genesis,, the sky wyverns were not. Mostly because they had never been seen before. That left Walker with a task of potentially finding them so that this earth eater parasite might be combatted constantly.

Using the wind mages would not be a viable option to fight these monsters. Especially since the sky wyverns needed to eat them for tempering their bodies and a future growth potential. It was very different from releasing wind mana from magic all within a room or larger space. The risks were higher.

”If those are the kind of monsters that could eat them, are there others?” Terron was very much interested in the fact that some monsters might be able to eat these earth eater parasites. Instead of slowly eating and parasitizing the entire cave and the entirety of the underground of Genesis, it would be better to let them get eaten by whatever likes them as food best.

It would also be more efficient and a longer term solution to this issue.

”The all around appraisal doesnʼt give anything else. I wonder if there is another monster though.” Walker wanted to look in to this a little more. However, he felt that this would be an issue that they had to handle the hard way at this rate.

This wasnʼt what Terron hoped to hear. He knew that if these parasites grew more, then they could become a risk for the dragons. Especially any of the eggs or hatchlings raised near here. They could be the first food offered up on a silver platter. Along with all the earth affinity races that came down here after the metals, ores, and dense rocks had been consumed or ruined.

Both of them were standing there looking at the current damage and the fact that the size of the earth eaters were truly very small right now. But they would grow. And the brittle rocks that Walker could feel crumble under his feet were a perfect example of how the entirety of this area could become a desert.

”The issue thatʼs bigger than just Genesis is that we could end up with the fact that these things get to the earth elemental planes. Even the smallest chance is a threat to them. They wonʼt accept that. Balance is the most important aspect to everyone within the elemental planes.”

”Youʼre telling me that all contact with them will be blocked if we even consider letting this problem wait. Then I am glad to have been alerted to it the moment it was discovered.” Teron took great pride in the fact that those within this territory had come directly to him immediately. They trusted him and his opinions of these matters.

It wasnʼt just his dragonkin or the odd earth mages that came either. The king of the deep made an effort to come to him for assistance. They knew full well that it would change all of them and that one representative would be too little to handle this problem if it began to grow.

”Letʼs look at this in another way, the earth wyverns are united now and even a race. So, that means that they might have some memories of other wyvern species, even the sky wyvern which is close to being extinct.” Walker knew this was a long shot, but it was a shot and he would take it.

”I can have that information within the hour.” Terron was moving before Walker had even finished his thoughts on the matter. But with how close that Terron was to the earth wyverns and how he had pledged to help them, it made a lot of sense. He was not a dragon that went back on his words. His stubbornness and draconic pride ensured that.

While keeping pace and leaving the infected area behind, Walker found that the area where the earth wyverns were was slightly larger than expected. But that was clear when he got there.

He had not expected that the wyvern queen would be here right now. He expected that she would be back on the Sigil continent. Yet, he soon understood why. ”Terron, you could have told us that you were expecting a little you in the future.”

”And I should expect you to use your all around appraisal to check on things.” The annoyed tone felt a little too fake when Walker heard it.

Yet, he felt that he had known this about Teron. That even with his pledge to help the earth wyverns that there was something more there. Not that he would judge. It would be an interesting event to see the first half earth dragon and half earth wyvern child flying around. They could be quite the little stubborn troublemaker.

”You will need to come here a few more times during the next two years.” Walker raised an eyebrow.

This made him think about a few things briefly.

The fact that healers were not the same as the dwarven methods of health. They focused on learning about the body and how it would heal without a healer or potions. Therefore, knowing the body of various monsters and races was much more important. Right now, that would be valuable information to have.

How long it would take a wyvern or a dragon to wait for an egg to be born and then to wait for it to hatch would be useful. That was something he could work on later. Plenty of races were now pooling knowledge and sharing it, as people worked, it would all come together brilliantly.

”If you need me, all you have to do is ask.” Terron nodded in appreciation while they were noticed by the wyvern queen. She was in her full earth wyvern queen form since she needed to be for her condition. However, she was not unhappy to have Walker as a visitor. She knew how much he had put in to helping the earth wyverns when they first came to Genesis to learn.

”We came to ask about wyverns, we are looking for sky wyverns.” The wyvern queenʼs eyes widened. Never had she expected that this would be something she would be asked. ”I am sure that Terron has told you about the monsters we are dealing with. And we want them handled before any other dragons, wyverns, or any earth affinity races come down here. The sooner the issue is solved, the better.”

Realizing exactly what Walker was saying, this was a major risk to any child that could be nearby with earth affinity in their future.

”Thirteen seasons ago.” The grumbling tone was hard to understand, but the system of the world and existence made sure it was understood clearly. ”A sky blue wyvern landed on my mountain and tried to dig around. She was traveling away toward the oceans. Toward a set of seven islands.” The wyvern queen did not say it all quickly, but it was said.

When she had stopped, Walker understood that this was all she had gathered before the sky wyvern had been chased off by the queen and the other earth wyverns. Territory was a very important thing to many of the dragons or dragon like species of the world.

”I will go look for someone to search for these islands. I would assume they got a bit larger than what they were before the world returned to proper mana flow. But if they are still there, then these sky wyverns might have found the perfect nesting ground to hide in.”
