Master Of None

The life mana that had gathered was not in a physical or even a living form so to speak. It was part of the rumbling volcano. Part of the magma flowing under water. Even part of the toxic steam being sent up in to the water and air above where the ships were right now.

That meant as a whole, that life mana was more than just part of what everyone would consider living beings. That it was part of nature in the sense that without it, nature did not grow or progress either. That for the volcano to exist and begin forming this new island miles beneath the water, that life mana had to be condensed.

This understanding was why the echidna were all working hard and also somewhat distracted by looking down. They could sense the birth of new aspects of nature. Their connection to that being extremely deep to the point that they had also been able to tap in to the true flow of the world before any other race had done.

It stunned him to come to this conclusion, but it also gave him an idea. Since he had understood this, what if he focused on that feeling? What if he tried to condense his own life mana instead of trying to spread it out and boost his natural healing ability? Therefore, what if he made his life mana act fresh and new somewhat like the life mana that he was sensing?

Would he harm himself, or, would he react like the volcano and begin growing at a faster rate. Could he use this as a way to adapt his body for later?

The thought had entered him at the same time something he hadnʼt noticed in a while. The system had not given him a quest. And when it did, it was things that he didnʼt notice at all because the party or he, was already accomplishing it without needing the system to put him on that path. That was why the systems had been less and less referenced.

That, and with the strength of the party changing based on their skills and new understandings, they did not need to rely on the numbers or the skills shown. They had to rely on their understanding. Their comprehension of all that they trained for.

ʼMajor side quest: life mana potential

Requirement: use your own life mana to fully accept the shared manas and bloodlines from your partners.

Reward: world assistance in accepting those changes.ʼ

Walker was even more stunned. So much so that the wind manas he was manipulating shivers for a moment causing a shock to go through the ships. Everyone who knew what was happening and how important it was to resist these mists looked toward Walker in fear. They worried that he had been harmed in some form, but were soon relaxed again to find him safe.

”Midnight, can you use your wind dragon breath to handle this ship? I need to immediately meditate while I can still sense the manas deep in the ocean. If I do not, then i wonʼt be able to fight the demon lord when we get to that island.” The pressure coming from Walkerʼs words told Midnight everything.

She had sensed when Walker was shocked by a new understanding. She could feel his emotions in turmoil while he thought and acted at the same time. He was multitasking at a time like this, but that was a good thing. It meant that Walker was learning something very important right now.

Seeing multiple mages step up and Midnight taking the lead to make sure that things were safe, Walker gradually released his control of the manas. He also saw that Scylla was taking on a burden here. Using her abilities to make more wind rotate around the ships and also using her affinities with water to push away the mist that threatened to drift too close.

Every bubble of toxic mist was handled. But right this second, Walker worried a little before he latched completely on to that feeling of new life mana. Of uniquely pure life mana.
