Master Of None

Chapter 2481: 2481. Building A Bridge

The feeling of space actually getting closer to him was a complete shock to Walker. He had not realized that the space mana was within him to a higher degree than he realized. Not just him but it condensed within all things much more than anything he expected.

Heʼd known how to manipulate it using other manas and even bring it closer together to other manas. But to move it within himself, that was a new feeling.

The space mana that made up the foundations of the bridge to elemental planes was dense and potent. It was exactly the same as the space mana that caused and made up everything around me. It was the very thing that allowed for other manas to move and even properly exist.

While there were hints of other manas that Walker could define as time mana now, he was sure that space mana was the driving force in the bridge to the elemental planes. So much so that the chaotic manas outside of the formed smaller bridge to the elemental planes were being repelled consistently.

This sort of dense and pure space mana had the ability to deny any other mana form moving anywhere near it. An intense control that was basically the same as a law. Any mana that needed to break this sort of space mana had to be potent enough to cause immense chaos and destruction. Walker felt that even the rulers of each elemental plane would find struggle in using such a form of intense mana.

Mostly because that sort of destructive elemental mana would break the very elemental plane they called home and had created them. That was the same for Walker. If he dared to manipulate this density of space mana and try to use other manas to influence it, it was the same as trying to destroy himself.

No other origin being would be able to use their natural racial strengths to manipulate it either. It would be fighting against existence itself which was a more mysterious defined law.

These realizations echoed throughout Walkerʼs body, soul, and mind. He knew they were true even without a multitude of evidence. He did realize he had been wrong about how to manipulate space mana himself though.

He had used other manas to do it and make the weaker places of space mana, weak and manipulated. That might work for the elemental rune teleportation formations, but constantly for him, it was inefficient and he couldnʼt use space mana itself.

ʼTrue space mana manipulation has been learned through consonant space mana acclimation and understanding.

ʼTrue space mana manipulation: mana cost varies with usage

Space mana is a complex yet solid existence. It not only stands as the unseen and often untouched foundation of all things, it is multifaceted. It can be manipulated on the surface and also unmovable at its depths.

Using understanding to manipulate space mana can be done with different elemental manas, however, moving space mana requires a keen understanding of the space making up the physical and non physical existence of one self.

Many require years to be able to manipulate space mana and greater mana costs. It is not a simple process and will even cause repelling forces such as time to become excited…ʼ

There was more to the skill that rang through Walkerʼs mind. He felt he could learn more from it while he read through and contemplated the skill information. However, he felt the pieces clicking in as he pulled at the space mana on the surface which was also part of him and where he stood.

Using space mana like this was intense but better.

Just the flow alone enlightened him. His feeling of space being malleable if you properly understood it as too amazing. He was able to use his mana to draw in space mana around the already formed bridge to the elemental planes.

His focus drew in even more attention from space mana that had once existed as part of the bridge. It was easy to say it remembered there was a bridge there and how to form in to it. Or maybe it was existence itself reminding space mana that it belonged there and should have formed there before the world lost its balance.

Whatever the case, Walker felt like he was building something brick by brick. Every single piece had a place and he was adding to the wall with his own mana.

Gil had been using arrows to channel the excess lightning mana in to the arrow heads. His process was rough but it wasnʼt impossible. He watched as some of the arrows were degrading. They would not be viable after this but Walker could handle them later.

He froze when he realized that the air itself wasnʼt moving any more. He couldnʼt manipulate manas to move in to the arrows the same ways he had before either. It was more like his skills had been isolated and halted. No matter how he pushed it was impossible to get his mana to interact with any mana around him.

When he looked over, he saw that Walker was not moving entirely. His face was pale and he was sweating constantly. The pained expression on his face told Gil that Walker was working well above what he had ever done before.

Again, Gil tried to move a little and noticed that The manas around them were completely tame. They were focusing on what Walker was doing. While his body was stationary his mana and mind were not. This made Gil relax and mentally prepare to use whatever potions he had to help Walker after.

Meanwhile, an audible hum pushed through all the mana. The space mana that Walker had been manipulating and flowing with as if he was part of it moved in to place. The manas it touched bummed as they were moved out of the way and pushed to form a better flow that followed a proper bridge to the elemental planes.

The lightning mana moved through with greater force however it was not chaotic as it could be when other bridges to the bridges to the elemental planes opened. Instead, it felt like to Walker, that the mana bridge had been established perfectly as it should.

While this was instinct, it was natural. The bridge felt perfectly balanced and part of the world.

Heʼd managed to speed up the acclimation and establishment using his mana. But heʼd also used all of the natural mana he and Fleur could provide. All of his own mana. Even overtaxed himself drawing manas from the air to use to help too.

Heʼd completely knocked himself out as lightning mana was slightly growing in the area and feeding the naturally formed lightning rune even more. Gil caught him when he finally fell back but Alma was the one who brought them both up to an eager spot on the canyon cliff side.

”I couldnʼt use my mana for a few minutes there. That was Walker, right?” Alma looked at Gil as she knew the answer looking at his face.

Gil was thinking about the fact that he thought that Walker had only halted manas right near them. Not the entire area. But looking around he saw that there were not as many lighting scorched places or uses of magical arrows. Instead, it appeared all the fighting had been physical while monsters appeared attracted to the lightning manas.

”This is fine though. He learned something and did things he shouldnʼt have. But Walker made the bridge work better than all the other ones. So let it be. For now we should set up a camp and keep capturing some of those monsters.” Hearing Hil use a hit more of a worried tone, Alma knew it was because Walker had exhausted himself.

She nodded and began giving more orders. The lightning eater lizards could be caught and the mana crystal shards and gems could be gathered. They could also invite more forces here to Help establish camps and study. It will be better that way.

As Walker had drifted in to unconsciousness, he wasnʼt properly asleep. Instead, he found himself in more in a meditative state.

He could sense the manas and feel them around him. He could also feel that Gil was the one loving his body. But he felt weak and disconnected. Like he had stressed a muscle well over its limit and now it refused to live.

Along with this, he noticed that he could sense his own manas. Through everything he found he had used all his mana and the stored natural mana he and Fleur kept close to them. Instead he was filled with space mana right now. It was integrating with him more closely and Walker felt it was ideal.

His body would hold some even after the denser space mana left him naturally. A potentially amazing thing.
