Master Of None

Chapter 2358: 2358. The Situation



All things aside, the hour after Walker had spoken with the crystalline light serpent, Walker had a great deal more to contemplate.

It wasn't just the new bridges to the elemental planes opening faster than he expected. He knew that this could be caused by many things. Mostly by the fact that Genesis and all kingdoms were advancing their usage and flow of mana.

The rune formations were of every single elemental mana. Therefore, they attracted those manas to certain areas and even contributed hugely to the flows of mana. Allowing for those manas to become denser and purer. Helping both the world adjust and the people within the world begin to awaken parts of themselves that had been dormant for generations.

Due to this, the changes were constant and the world overall was growing faster than theorized when the first bridge to the elemental planes had opened. Not that this was a bad thing. It just meant that more attention needed to be taken.

Scouting out more locations where the bridges to the elemental planes opened would be extremely important. While Walker meditated on this, he recalled what he had been told about the locations and how many bridges there would be.

It was not an infinite number of bridges. They matched the core aspects of man that made up the world while ignoring the more complicated forms of mana like space, time, life, and death. Not that it was impossible they could exist as bridges, but more so that they were unique aspects of everything causing them to be beyond being just simply part of the bridges. It meant to walker, that there would still need to be four bridges to the elemental planes that needed to reform properly. They could be anywhere within the world. The issues that he had just faced were the main concern.

The elemental planes were still shifting. The areas that these bridges used to be might be ancient ruins like the one he was resting in. If that was the case, the same incident might happen where different manas collided when the bridge opened properly. Causing strange

events.

This brought his mind back to the brittle earth and light crystals.

'Brittle sky sand mana crystals.

A unique form of very weakly bonded elemental mana crystal that is normally found in places where light and earth collide. Many times this is only along the borders of the light and earth elemental planes. However, when this elemental crystal is formed, it creates a very interesting effect.

The mixed mana of light and earth can allow for purification magic to be used with this mana crystal as a focus. It will allow the process of purifying and enhancing metals to be much easier. Especially when the crystals are burned within the forge flames.

This is also an elemental crystal that some of the monsters living within these borders require to survive. As such, it is the core and nutrients for many of them causing them to be able to only leave or survive outside of that border if they have adequately absorbed these brittle crystals.

The weak formation is due to the sudden collisions of the manas within these elemental crystals. They can be further refined by a mana crystal smith or an arcane crystal forger. Both are exceptionally rare classes...'

He saw that this referenced an area of the elemental planes he had not been to. Monsters he might be able to learn about. Even further, it mentioned that the bonds could be strengthened by two classes he had not heard of.

While crystal related classes existed, they were few and far between. Some were even not at all related to mana crystals and just the earth crystals or spirits that utilized certain earth crystals. Regardless of that. It meant that there were limits to what the crystals could do unless they were influenced and processed by these class users in the future.

It inspired Walker to bring the crystals along though. If these brittle sky sand crystals could be used, then he could push them toward the younger generations still developing. Mana crystals that had the light of the sky by the softness of sand were a great way to hook a new generation of exploration and unique class users.

This was just a good direction for those pursuing innovation. But there were also those who would look toward the dungeons. Another set of issues that he was worried about.

The dungeons were something that would also be appearing. Unique aspects of the word finally returning from ancient times that almost no race had any history remaining of. Extremely ancient and had to appear right now when things were already under stress from other aspects of the world being discovered due to expansion and return of mana flow.

People would get classes related to dungeons though. That was a surety which could not be avoided. No one would be able to say that it would not happen. He and everyone would fully expect more dungeon explorers to rise. They would need to be strong though.

This might be existence or the worlds' way of providing unique methods of growth for the world since it was a balance of all manas between the grandness of elemental planes and whatever was out in the chaos beyond that. However, it was also a clear example of how weak people were.

Even Walker's group of powerful people had struggled against monsters and plants within the poison jungle dungeon. Proving that there was danger greater than what the levels showed. If anyone who had less experience or training than them had gone in, there could have easily been deaths. That wasn't even speaking to what other forms of dungeons might be out in the world awakening.

The potential for dangers to be out there right now was very high. Especially since the word was more or less back to having unexplored and not at all mapped areas. Tasks which would take years to handle at the rate that Genesis was going.

It wasn't taking longer because they were not putting the effort in. Instead, it was because of all the issues riding. Every single thing that needed focus tore away attention from other aspects of growth. Time was the most valuable resource for everyone right now.

This wasn't ignoring the fact that there were many ways for people to train and gain the strength needed to survive these places. Walker literally gained strength and levels the more he understood and absorbed mana. It improved many of his skills while also being part of who he was now.

This would definitely be the same for some others who would always be working on what they could do to improve naturally. Whether or not they were pushing themselves more for Genesis to develop was up to them, but they could get stronger. He would just need to have faith and keep sharing as much information as possible to help them with that process.

After a deep breath, he looked at his hands for a moment and felt the changes in the mana flowing around him. He could sense the manas around him a lot better now than he used to. It was why he could tell that the light mana had calmed down significantly. That all the mana around him and most likely the world was properly flowing even better than before.

It meant that more changes to people and the world itself would occur. Not a terrible thing, just one that he would need to be prepared for. The fact that many races and monsters were awakening ancient aspects of who they were was necessary to handle as it came. He worried that some of the demi-humans would struggle more than others.

Some had monster traits passed down in their bloodlines. Proving that they could potentially have skills and instincts that would make their lives harder. He couldn't do too much for that depending on what that situation was. He would need to look towards those like Scylla who had been brown with monster traits.

It was just another thing on the list he worried about. Another aspect of what he might be able to do to help others while maintaining the foundation that Genesis was built on. He could rest easier knowing that many others were working alongside him.

The mage towers had taken another step recently. All this mana had helped the condensation of naturally occurring runes. Meaning that there were small herb gardens and rune formations already showing signs that a naturally occurring rune may form. An ideal place for the miniature mage towers which would be the anchors for teleportation formation and boosting the mana flow even more.

The time was shortened and he looked forward to the building of the first. He would personally be going there regardless of the current situation to protect it. Not because he didn't care for the other issues occuring, but because he knew the importance of the smaller mage towers to the entire alliance.
