Master Of None

Chapter 2647: 2647. Walk That Path

The different attitude from the light king and the wind king struck Walker as surprising. As he explained to the others, he knew very well that it was not simply the fact that they had worked more in the wind elemental plane to build trust and a connection. It seemed that there was something else here too.

”What is it that you must learn of my people and our strength?” Walker knew that this was going to be interesting. The light elemental plane was one he hadnʼt spent a lot of time in and the true light sage had not spent a great deal of time in the world. It was the same for the true dark sage, although Walker had a few run ins with the true dark sage regardless.

”Travel through the fields of changing light and tell my other aspect what you see there. Tell me what you believe to be the connections between the plane of light and the world right now.” Walker felt that the wind king had entirely changed focus on to the light mana trying to break past the border of the two elemental planes. However, the light king was beginning to stop paying attention as well.

To the party, it seemed that the task here was a mentally consuming one that stopped the two aspects of the kings of each elemental plane from truly speaking. While that was fine since the promise of safety had been made for those traveling to see and learn from the wind elemental plane, that was not good for the light elemental plane.

There was still a risk that those who came to the light elemental plane would face unnecessary danger. There should be a promise that the envoys sent had the chance and guidance to reach the races already known at the very least.

”You must know of the light and what those who wish to travel to your world must survive. Then you may ask of the light plane.” The words were the last thing that the light king spoke before anyone could even discern what part of the moving and lashing manas made up either elemental kingʼs aspects.

Both had dissipated their bodies to handle the amounts of manas moving here. Yet, there was an opening. Not necessarily one created but one more natural. A way to travel through the mixed wind and light that made up the border of the wind and light elemental plane. While calling natural might be wrong since it was surely somehow influenced by either if not both elemental kings, it was still what the space would look like without an influx of mana.

It seemed that whatever had been added in terms of smaller light elemental planes to the greater light elemental plane had been more about mana moving than adding monsters or other things that lived within the plane. Something seemingly easier to handle in theory. In practice, it was causing just as much trouble for the light king and the balance of the elemental planes since it also caused issues for the wind king.

Something about splitting their minds and bodies up was striking everyone as unnatural. The elemental kings might have the innate ability to do so since they were the embodiments of that mana within their elements, plane. But, it did seem that their mentalities being split was rougher in terms that they could only manifest a hand or eyes rather than a full body. It made it seem that the different elemental planes being added to the greater elemental planes caused more stress than what could be seen.

As they all stepped forward it was Alice taking the lead. She began to hum softly, the light staying away from them and even condensing to become more closely seen as small shields copied from what Su carried. Su had also shifted her armor putting on a purely light resistant set that allowed for the light mana to act as an enhancing ability for more resistance and even purification.

Everyone has made their own adjustments to the point that Walker did not worry about using buffs himself. He did make sure to look around and focus himself on the ways that the light mana moved. He wanted to sense the changed natural flow from the actual natural state without the light kingʼs will behind it. If he could narrow that small difference down he would be able to understand the original state of light mana much better.

Not that this was easy while he was currently passing through a boundary and not the actual light elemental plane. Nor was he able to keep his mind focused on just that as he noticed a few threads of light mana moving away and toward an area of radiant light grasses shining in multiple colors.

It was the grass that the light king had mentioned. These were the fields of changing light that the party would need to pass though. A place that could easily be understood as a massive field of light affinity grasses taking on different colors to match the form of light manas that the grasses absorbed. An added challenge since there was a high chance multiple monsters relying on the changing light mana here relied on for their attacks and defenses.

Not that Walker immediately sensed any of the dangers that came with the field. Instead, he felt something nagging at his senses. A familiar feeling that told him he could use a little bit of what was already here to help navigate.

”I can sense the light mapping orb that we gave the radiant light elves. They also had to pass through here and I know the information I can sense isnʼt accurate but I can use it to get the general direction of the radiant light elf raceʼs home.” This was quick to keep Gilʼs attention. He wanted to visit there. Everyone could see that in his eyes.

”Then we should follow that and pay them a visit. The group from Genesis will head there too so we can get ahead and make some arrangements.” It was clear that Gil was doing his best so that the others agreed. He mostly wanted to go so he could see the radiant light elves and how they lived.

”Itʼs the best shot through other than wandering. Iʼm sure that the light mapping orb didnʼt get enough information to make all of this easy.” With Su saying exactly where Walkerʼs mind was he didnʼt have to say much else.

”It also helps that we have Alice with us. We do not need to rely on brother to protect us as much if the mana becomes too strong.” With Onyx now supporting Alice we seemed to be enjoying the high light mana here, it was all the more reassuring.

”I am just concerned that the light king wanted us to travel through this area. Itʼs called the fields of changing light meaning there image different forms of light mana here and most likely a larger variety of plants and monsters. We will need to keep in mind that we might face some unique circumstances.”

While the others felt that Walker was just keeping them focused on the risks, Walker had a slightly different thinking. He wondered if there was an added danger here that made the radiant light elves even more at risk when they had come from their home to the world to learn and visit.

There was the additional fact that if this area was holding a larger variety of plants, monsters, and forms of light mana that it also meant there might be other races hunting, traveling, or living here. A benefit to their party since they could meet more races but also a risk since they might be hostile. Both sides could be called a balance of their own.

Setting foot in to the grasses, Walker could see that with the all around appraisal these grasses and their different affinities towards specific forms of light mana were more interesting to him and Remey.

The majority were different species of white grass, a tall grass that only fed and absorbed light mana. But it was diverse. It could take the traits of whatever form of light mana it absorbed and that would change its color. This caused it to become purifying, toxic, or even sharp. It was an incredibly unique plant that Remey was currently trying to get roots from or seeds since the research potential in herbalism and alchemy was huge here.

This didnʼt stop Midnight from sniffing out a few smaller insect monsters that werenʼt worth trying to capture. It was more knowledge they learned though. More information about what made the light elemental plane flow and how to keep it in balance with all the changes the entirety of the elemental planes were going through right now.
