Master Of None

Chapter 2473: 2473. Out And About

”Thatʼs it, we donʼt have to worry as much about the elemental spirit trees or the great spirit tree.” Alma giggled a little, she wasnʼt sure why everyone had begun to speak about the central spirit tree as the grand spirit tree. Then again, the branches arched over a large section of Genesis and many of the different leaves radiated different manas.

While the manas it radiated came from all the elemental spirit trees, it was definitely releasing manas of higher purity than others. It was also able to release all the manas which allowed for those with dual or triple, if not more, affinities grow nearby it.

Not that it was open to be walked up to easily just yet. There was a very strict requirement to be able to approach the base of the grand spirit tree. The reason was simply because of how delicate it was right now.

It needed the time to become better and more established. This process was only increasing as the other elemental spirit trees had grown more lately because of the fact that one of them had a priestess and also that manas had been increasing in the world in general.

Otherwise, the care for them had been constant and many worked to help the process, whether it was just feeding them the nutrients that any plant needed or making rune formations around it to better establish their bonds with the rune formation already within Genesis.

Overall, there was so much growth that Alma and Gil didnʼt need to worry about being around the grand spirit tree as often and could not begin to focus on other things.

”I know you will still worry about them since you are so attached.” Gil teased a bit as he pointed out that she had a few of its leaves on her shoulder from being near it so much. ”But we can focus on other things, everyone is escorting the witches back here to welcome the witch born race in to Genesis. I heard that there might be another bridge to the elemental planes opening in the fields near where we dealt with those rats that became weird flying monsters.”

The more that Gil saw new ancient monsters the more it appeared he was ignoring their actual names. It frustrated a few people that he worked with, but they knew that he wasnʼt forgetting their traits and how to combat them. He even gave very in depth weakness pinpoints for those who worried about facing such monsters later in life.

”There are three places that some of the echidna race have identified that might be places for the bridges to the elemental planes may be forming. The chances that all three will form are higher than what some may expect because of the sudden influx of mana from the last one. There were also true sages that sent Walker mana and words to explain the situation. So, we know that the world is catching up to its bonds with the elemental planes.”

Since Alma was making such a perfect point, Gil was left with the understanding that he really couldnʼt say much in response. ”That means you donʼt want to go and check one out with me before the rest of everyone gets back?” He raised an eyebrow and put his hand on his hip near one of his daggers. He was ready to get out and handle some real business instead of being cooped up.

”I didnʼt say that. Instead, we are going to lead a few of the archers, scouts, and angels who have been training back to the Sigil continent and meet the mages who have found the location where they believe the next bride to be forming. I hear it is in a palace called the jungle canyon, large walls of stone with plants growing out of it that survive even the coldest months because of the hot spring water at the bottom of the canyon.”

Since the information another this place had been shared when it was discovered, Gil wasnʼt very surpassed. The unique aspects of the area were high.

The water flowed through like a very thin river at the bottom of the canyon. Underneath was dense rock and eventually moving magma from What had been discovered. This caused a great deal of steam to rise from the canyon causing a jungle environment to flourish.

This caused the entire general area to grow rapidly and largely. Many unique plants grew and lobsters yet to be discovered lived there. It was the space where manas seemed to be even denser that attracted the attention of ten echidna mages though.

Theyʼd sensed the mixing of water, fire, and light manas before they realized just those three were present. It was the rotation of those manas before it suddenly switched in to a mixing of those manas that suggested the area was somehow getting mana from a boundary between those elemental planes.

The reason that it was able to be sensed was simply because they matched the manas on either side. Meaning that the feeling of lighting that came from mixing the manas in some ways was spelling out to be a slightly more important fact.

While lighting could be made with various manas, wind fire water, light water fire, or even wind light fire, it changed what kind it was. Some like the thunderstorms in nature, others like what collisions of magic could make, or even others that resided in some metals.

It was a study that many mages were eager to look in to even more with every passing day.

This was all just part of what the pair thought about as they gathered people quickly. They didnʼt need any grand approval since the area was already set to be explored sooner than later. Those who scouted it had requested help so it made sense that someone would come now.

The elven archers were surprisingly partnered with a small group of demons as well. Their short bows were a product of the demons finding they lacked the skills for longer ranged long bows. However, the short bows combined with the naturally magically inclined talents lead to a mid ranged magical archer that could easily defend in smaller areas where other king ranged fighters would struggle.

This was a unique bond that the demons and elves had created which stood out since it wasnʼt as normal compared to the other bonds of other races. That aside, the groups were together and they were at the elemental turn teleportation formation in less than three hours ready to leave.

The angels that went with them had been training in Genesis for weeks now. Theyʼd learned a great deal about resisting the environment that was a struggle for them. This was due to them needing to absorb manas through their wings to use mana as a whole.

The skills to resist this at times was hard to learn but as they had seen others learn to control the mana flowing in their bodies using items with turns on them and also training, they had improved past their normal weaknesses.

As they teleported to the Sigil content, Gil noticed that the angels seemed more inclined to remain behind him and Alma than move to their Normal commanders. Simply because they were not acclimated to them any more. Theyʼd learned more in Genesis and been able to see better unity there than the Sigil forces had provided.

The commanders meeting them on short notice saw this but didnʼt say a word. Their people had benefited from multiple races of the Genesis alliance rebuilding their villages and training their people. The advancements had led to new leaders and adapting ways of survival.

Now that they were seeing that the younger soldiers sent to train had grown loyalty to Genesis as a whole it just meant that the angelʼs race was now more bound to a future with Genesis than without.

As they spoke, Gil took a morning depth map made recently of the jungle canyon. He noted some changes where small waterfalls from streams on the side had been found. It often rained around it since the steam had to cool and return in some way, shape, or form.

”Here, this space shows a side of the canyon recently collapsed. That should be caused by changes in the area or a powerful monster. We can check there first.” Gilʼs focus on this was partially instinct since he knew that other areas could be where the bridge to the elemental plane might form as well.

”Then weʼll go there first. But we are walking since there are many avian monsters in the area who hunt the canopy of the jungle canyon area.” This was expected. Even the wyverns and angels didnʼt like flying there since they would be harassed more often. But they had a plan.
