Master Of None

Chapter 2470: 2470. Surprising Appearance

There were a lot of things happening within and outside of Genesis. The paperwork for the alliance with the endless night forest, specifically the covens of the witch born race made a big wave in the city.

Many had been told the fairytales of witches but now it was proven that they had actually come from somewhere and might have some realism in them. Not that it was actually a full list of truths, especially since many of the fantastical ideas about other races had already been disproved.

Where things did become interesting were the people who claimed that they would be able to chase after the new methods of magic.

These claims had been enough to raise the eyebrows of the other representatives on the Genesis council since they had been getting information from Walker in a greater variety and factual manner. Proving to them that those claims of studying new magic would be tougher than what was expected.

Scylla and received some mention from Su about the uniqueness of the witch born race and their guardians. She had been very interested since the guardians of the witch born used inner mana and made it more naturally flowing when also bringing mana in to their bodies from outside.

The benefits this had could make training methods more suitable for all races and alter the growth rates of soldiers or guards as a whole. It would also show very well in the arena when people use new and improved techniques. Meaning battles would be more entertaining and promote even more growth.

This information only spread more as the general populace noticed the changes in those working in the fields of herbs, greenhouses, and the alchemy guild as a whole.

Many of the people who were focused on research had begun to stockpile more herbs and also began to prepare new working rooms separated from the main guild building attached to walled off fields. It wasnʼt hidden but the reasons made people curious.

Since there was usually an open and clear example of what was being done, having some places walled off to hide them made it feel that there was something dangerous being done. However, when the old master alchemist made an announcement that herbs known as commonly as to be seen as weeds on some roads were going to be grown in isolation to see the perfect natural state, it made many of those who sold herbs and potions curious.

What changes could be so drastic that there would be walled off herb gardens and research areas? What could make those herbs better or worse?

Since Remey had been the one to provide the theories and ideas and she had already mentioned she would be bringing a young witch who focused on alchemy to explain her knowledge while learning from them, it was quickly accepted. Yet also still leaving many questions.

It would be easier to say that another new race joining the alliance had caused a trend of curiosity and not just in the race but their methods as well. What caused some uproar was the denial of all trade with them for the time being.

It was explained to most merchant groups that the endless night forest was unable to handle high volumes of trade but as most business focused minds did. They saw it as a loss at a chance to form connections even for the future.

This had led to multiple groups being halted with intentions to make their way to the endless night forest against the regulations put in place. Walker expected this and made sure to mentally prepare himself since the witches going with him to Genesis would be swarmed with attention and need to have their own guards for fair treatment until more members of their race had been awakened.

He didnʼt worry as much as he would have thought. He had realized that the younger witches who were awakened were smart enough not to act foolish. He was very much surprised that the sun witch who had clearly received a strong scolding was allowed to return with him right away.

What he didnʼt realize was that she had made it very clear that she would try to escape the endless night forest and head back to Genesis if she wasnʼt allowed to go back. But what Walker didnʼt know of the situation the better since he preferred someone clearly excited to learn more and share their culture to come with them.

The other witches had all worn different cloaks associated with their covens and their strengths. They all seemed more silent, especially the woman who had returned with Su who preferred to just be called guardian.

There was one who was close to Remey who had been recommended by the three avian witches who changed their bird forms over and over while sharing alchemy knowledge. The girl was shorter but the tinkling of glass vials proved that she was hiding a lot beneath her cloak. Remey also didnʼt let the girl out of her sight, proving she had a very clear sense of care for her since they had met.

The others seemed to have their own strange quirks as well. One that didnʼt leave the side of a taller witch who carried a sword of all things. Another who was spilling sand from their pockets which magically returned to them so walking near them was harder. And even a wizard born who seemed to be a direct student of one of the grand witches.

This stood out the most since the witch born race seemed to focus mostly on the females since they had stronger abilities to connect to the mixed natural manas they bonded with and also the deeper connection to all others. However, this wizard born male of the race stood out since the mana he attracted caused frost to form on his black cloak making it seem like a frozen obsidian.

So much could still be learned from them that Walker wanted to specifically bring them all right to the magic tower and show off what they had to offer. What stopped him was the fact that the final agreements would be signed and shown in a speech and introduction to the other Genesis council members.

The person coming with them was none other than the grand witch of decay who had separated from them for a shift while to undergo a short ritual and magical ceremony to ensure that she had enough mana and protection to manage to get to Genesis safely. She had also rested more easily with the fact that Walker was attracting more dark mana toward them so she was able to absorb it. Heʼd also used his multi buff skill to help her travel easier than normal.

The idea had been that they would walk the way or take carriages prepared. This was the best way to get to know one another and also acclimate to the manas outside of the endless night forest. But, Walker was relieved that they would not be able to do this.

The massive shadow which had appeared right outside of the camp that waited right outside of the endless night forest.

The massive pure black scales appearing out of it was much faster than what Walker remembered of the way that mordant traveled. He also found himself surprised when he noticed that Onyx was wrapped around Mordant in his full size without hiding anything within his shadow.

”Success!” The roar of triumph came from both Mordant and Onyx who looked exhausted to a degree. Mentally and physically as they had used a significant amount of mana.

”This is the royal dark dominator dragon mordant and my little brother the leader and patriarch of his race Onyx. they seem to have just succeeded in something I did not expect at all.” While Walker had caught the feeling of space mana moving, he was internally shocked by what he realized was the cause.

It wasnʼt just the manipulation of space but the usage of just dark mana to make space move. An intense and potent dark mana which Mordant and Onyx had contributed to while Mordant used his skill to move through the shadows. A clear team making it possible to change space itself without the need for rune formations.

”I believe I will have to learn a lot about them.” The grand witch of decay stood calmly, but her mana was fluctuating in a way that proved her heart was unsettled by what she had witnessed.

As Morant took his dragonkin form and Onyx hid away his body to appear smaller, the witches calmed themselves too and they came forward to introduce themselves. ”We wanted to meet you all and assist you in traveling back sooner. After a day of rest we can moth through the skies or shadows. Ignus seems to be coming sooner too so he can help if we take the skies.” Mordant began to chat politely but he was attracting a lot more dark mana to the area proving he was in need of it badly.

A little extra help from Walker and they had taken the lead while Ignus was still catching up after moving back to speak with the witch born dragon again before they left. Walker planned to ask a lot more about the ways that Onyx and Mordant had worked together, but it was yet another thing to worry about later.
