Master Of None

Chapter 2355: 2355. Accidental Mix



Just nearing the ruin where the potential bridge to the elemental planes had been found, Onyx and Rise sensed something strange. It was better to describe what they felt was like

something slipping through their fingers than just mana leaking.

The feeling that the light mana had hit a wall and was slowly slipping through rather than being held back was a better way to describe what was going on in this situation. Especially since when they tried to pull at the light mana, they found that they could not force it to move any faster. Nor could they push the light mana to stop flowing either.

"It is under some sort of pressure?" This was an odd feeling. Onyx had never sensed something like this. He had never felt that the light mana was under pressure.

While he had used light mana to condense in to armor on his scales, it had been balanced by the dark mana as well, he had managed to keep it well balanced and condensed, but it was not so dense that it wanted to spread back out entirely.

For someone to condense light mana enough that they could say it was under pressure, there would have to be something more going on. Either the light mana was surrounded by dark mana as an opposite, or something was intentionally trying to for the light mana away from the condensed state it had been pushed in to.

"Yes it is, I can't make it listen to me." Rise even felt that using the light mana she had stored in her body was impossible right now.

These situations where they could not influence manas around them, not just Onyx and Rise, felt to be getting more and more common.

This had happened to Walker and the others when they had encountered some ancient monsters, also at the poison jungle dungeon to a degree. The fact that there were forces that even they could not influence proved that the ancient aspects of the world were much more powerful than what they realized.

Beyond this, there was the fact that they and others would need to be able to contend with these powerful forces. Some of which could be monsters or intelligent races. The newest races coming from the elemental planes had shown that they had strength, but that they could resist some of the more powerful and dense manas.

Considering this as a key, the races that had been within the world and seemingly suffered due to the losses in mana over many generations could try to grow differently. Could push themselves to grow faster when it came to how they were able to handle the manas coming to the world.

Not that this was a focus right this second. Onyx and Rise had just stepped inside the ruins and noticed the differences from what the reports had told them of everything within this massive stone chamber, or cave.

"There is a lot more sand here than there was in the reports. It is more like the manas have pushed the soil in to clusters of sand." Onyx wondered why this might be. Light mana should not cause this effect on earth at all. They were not mixed like this naturally.

"No, but if the edge of the heart elemental plane then the light plane took over it might." understanding a theory right away, Rise began to move the clustered sand which had been partially rock and dust before the burst of earth mana.

"The heart mana rushed through the bridge as it opened. Causing the earth spirits and whatever else to begin flowing in through it. Then, the elemental planes shifted and the light and earth manas mixed before leaving only light mana."

Picking up a few pieces of the clustered sands, Rise showed Onyx that they were full of light mana. The centers of the sand clusters had condensed in to a mixture of light and earth mana crystals. While brittle, they were still holding the manas.

"I would say that the earth mana attracted the dust and loose earth. But the change in the soil from earth mana to light being prevalent suddenly attracted the earth toward the bridge. Now, there is a blockage of earth and light mixed together. We can't control it because it is bound with earth as well. We can't force it because the pressure stops us. The light mana wants to flow naturally but can not."

It was not overly complicated. This was just what happened by accident when the shift of the elemental planes met the sudden opening of another bridge to the elemental planes. It was just an unfortunate happening of natural events. Nothing caused by monsters and nothing actually wrong.

"So the elemental spirits can not travel safely through this bridge. They can sense that innate and avoided the area because they could be harmed." Finding the clear solution to the question of why they had not seen the elemental spirits who were not spirit race members, Onyx was sure that this would change when they found a solution to the issue at hand.

"If we break it by force, we will cause a flood of light mana. We need to send the others away or create a more solid defense for them." Rise began to think about the flood of light mana that would push through the bridge. It had been held back from flowing naturally. If this was left alone, the other bridge to the elemental planes would most likely be affected. But also the entirety of the elemental planes would fall out of balance as well.

"Then what should we do when we do not have heart mages here?"

"Just as your older brother who rushed her by himself after he heard you might need help with an opening of another bridge to the elemental planes." There was a bit of sweat on Walkers' forehead when he spoke. He was trying to keep himself calmer than what he looked but both Onyx and Rise could tell he had sped here without a single second of holding back at all. "Brother, can you handle the heart mana?" Onyx didn't even skip a beat and began working with Walker.

"I can, Risse will have to handle the light mana to deflect it a little. You will have to absorb light mana to defend those at the camp. Have them all gather together. The mana will be heavy but we can handle it." there was a clear trust in Walker's tone. He knew that they would be able to handle it without a doubt. Especially since they were all working together and had done so before.

Knowing the light mana would only have one direction to flow, Onyx took his full sized form from his shadow. He blocked the majority of the entrance to this chamber while Rise began to gather her mental strength. This left Walker to sense the oddities within the bridge to the elemental planes.

He could feel the mixture of light and earth mana. All smashed together without proper balance. It was an interesting event that he would like to research later. The brittle earth and light mana crystals would have to have some sort of name or proper explanation. This wasn't the right time to go delving deeper in to it though.

As he grasped the earth mana within the bridge of the elemental planes, Walker also felt some resistance from the space mana. This was an odd event but the space mana was held true by the laws of existence. While this situation was not normal, the space should not be interfered with.

This forced Walker to split his attention and use what little influence over space mana he had to change things again. To allow for the trapped pieces of light and heart mana to be freed

from their places.

The more he pulled and tried to reshape the heart made light mana, the more that light mana began to push at the wall of mixed mana crystals. Rise gave a slight growl and pulled at the light mana which still somewhat refused to listen to her will as a light dominator dragon. That was until a sudden shaking of the mana reached all of them before light mana erupted forward in to the world.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Between the three, the light mana was brutal but manageable. Onyx's ability to absorb a large amount of dense light mana was due to his size and level. He could do much more than the younger serpents. Rise could also deflect back a lot of that light mana forcing it to flow slower out of the bridge. This left Walker who was still removing the remaining earth portions messing with the bridge.

Everyone outside sensed this while they defended from the bursts of light mana as well. A moment of toughness that tested their overall strengths as well.
