Master Of None

Chapter 2354: 2354. Damaging Light

As everyone had begun to take their positions, the mages who had already made their ways here had managed to calm themselves. Those suffering from the excess light mana overworking their bodies and mind had also shown improvement.

The healing tent had not been able to handle this ailment. Not that it was the first time such an ailment had been found, but it was hard to handle. The healers that were handling it would need to have the light affinity and be able to draw out light mana from the body of their patient.

This being the case meant that they had to have a lot more training than what most people had. Especially since there were plenty of people that did not have the time to gain enough training in the flow of mana through a body.

The healers were well trained, this was not a worry at all. Especially some of the older healers who had taken the lead on this illness right now. They were showing the younger healers who the mana in various races would flow through their bodies. But that was also the issue.

They did not know how the mana flowed through every race in a detailed sense that would make this a safe method to heal them entirely. Leaving a damage to their mana flow or even causing more damage to the mana flowing improperly would be the worst case. That was a deterrent enough.

Before Rise and Onyx even went to investigate, they had watched and felt the changes in the area as the other serpents and dragons began to pull away the multitude of purer light mana to nourish their bodies and the bodies of the children that the dragons carried within them. This would allow for the two, yet to be born, dragon eggs to be much healthier and most likely stronger once hatched.

That somewhat positive news allowed for Onyx and Rise to focus more on the issue of being unable to help and heal those suffering right now. The excess of mana was putting a strain on some of the mages, and others with light affinities, bodies.

If this continued, it could affect the ways that tier manas flowed for their entire lives. Some would be forced to always be in areas with higher light mana since their affinity would require it to be able to use the light mana overall. Others would be unable to handle spikes in light mana making them prone to falling unconscious when afflicted by high amounts of light mana. Their affinity would literally become a weakness for them.

There were many people who would search out places with these higher amounts of light mana to train. Hence why the serpents who consumed light mana were enjoying the area and would be able to become stronger. For some, this was ideal training for them. For those who could learn mo-re about how to use larger amounts of light mana or to be able to control the larger amounts of light mana in general.

While this training was risky, it was the best way for some who needed to grow like this. Walker was one person who had done exactly that. He had taken a lot of time to meditate within the deeper and purer, manas within the magic tower to understand manas.

He also decided to do similar meditation in the rune formations and also when he was nearby the bridges to the elemental planes. Well, for the moment, he had only done it near one bridge. But now he would have the chance to do it within another.

”Right now, the healers with the proper affinities are pulling little bits of manas from the dragonkin who are affected. The angels who were here and affected have been sent back to Genesis. They were absorbing mana through their wings which forced them to be unable to regulate it. Otherwise, the humans have been handled. We have some smaller issues with a few of the white wing harpies. They are a new group of magic using harpies who are not acting as messengers.”

This was a worry since the harpy race had finally begun to branch out from being messengers. The harpy queen had made multiple groups and even began helping the harpy race enter the guard and battle side of things. But that was still mostly in communication and scouting. Not in a direct battle.

The white wing harpies were a small squad of harpies who had pure white wings due to their fairly high light affinity. Their growth had been important because they had purification magic skills, healing light skills, and some of them had even had battle related skills that shaped light mana in to arrows. Allowing for there to be magic archers from the sky that could avoid ranged attacks while dealing them.

It was another break through for the archery and magic classes. Mostly though, it was a showcase of the lengths that a younger race was taking so that they could keep pursuing another level of strength. To become a solid foundation for Genesis as a monster race that was leaving their monstrous history in the past in turn for their new future as a recognized intelligent race.

”I can have the youngest of the abyssal serpents live around them for a few days and naturally bring out the light mana. But they are going to be unconscious for a few days if that is the case.” Onyx knew that the issue within the light mana had to be held back until they handled the injuries it caused.

This was not intentional at all. The groups that had come here originally when an issue was detected had those more sensitive to light mana because that was what had been sensed. They firstly went there to figure out why the light mana was bursting around the area. Not because they realized there was a danger for themselves. Of course the younger would wish to be there as well. It was just an accident in the overall planning since a bridge to the elemental planes opening was not, in theory, going to open so soon.

”I can handle that. The elders who are on edge for the two who need this mana are able to draw out the mana while using healing skills. One has been able to awaken a class called the soothing light dragon, it altered the way she used light mana as a whole while keeping her ace and overall abilities intact. She is limited to not using light mana for attacks intentionally.”

The elder light dragon that Rise spoke of was one who had always detested fighting between dragons. So much that she had actively prevented several over the course of her life just with words alone. She had perfected using light mana to create a calming and soothing atmosphere. Earning her multiple skills that were ideal for when someone was injured and in both physical and mental pain.

As such, she had gained the soothing light dragon class. It was a clear example of how someoneʼs actions and emotions could affect the class they received as well. Especially when it came to how they used their mana and abilities.

A dragon that preferred peace was also very helpful because they were able to act as a mediator for multiple harder conversations. She had already done so a few times between some of the elder dragons who wished to handle their issues alone without troubling the royal dragons.

”Then I will trust her to work on this, can she handle this as the lead?” OPnyx saw an immediate affirmation from Rise. ”then we can ignore the injuries while we focus on the reason we are not seeing any light elemental spirits right now.” It felt a little too easy to Onyx. he had caught up to what Rise was thinking.

They both had focused on the flow of light mana coming out in seemingly larger bursts. Not in a constant flow. Meaning that there was truly something causing the light mana to be stuck. Not just the light elemental spirits who might wish to travel through to the world. The weaker light elemental spirits would have been the first to come.

”I do worry that there is something that is trying to take any of the light elemental spirits appearing there. If they were to sense something we could not, then that would stop then, right?” Onyxʼs worries voiced something that Rise and also somewhat thought. There might be a monster trying to consume the light elemental spirits. It would deter the spirits while also meaning that they would have a harder time dealing with all this.

”I will hope that is not the issue.” Rise focused her senses entirely on light mana while she stepped forward. She was prepared to take her full light dominator dragon form at any second.
