Master Of None

Chapter 1571 1571. Missing Mana

The high priest was moving as soon as Mordant had been set down. He had the highest quality skills that could discern what might be wrong with someone. Unfortunately, his face formed more and more wrinkles. He was clearly becoming stressed.

Alice was also moving. She had many ways to search for issues but from what she saw, there wasn't a scale out of place. "Walker.." Her question was already clear. She wanted him to take a look and tell her what he saw.

"If this isn't normal then there might be something else to cause it. Where is the grand elemental spirit that has been with him? Is he around?" The dragonkin warriors pointed right at Mordant.

"So he is in the spirit mark too?" The nodding heads of the worried dragonkin were clearly saying that this had been the case for some time. "That's not right. Mordant and his partner were not that close after the additional memories from being apart from him. I know they would both have been getting to know one another again. They would have stayed meditating to get on the same page."

Since Walker knew that the spirit wouldn't have dwelled within Mordant right away for a long period of time he felt that there had to be something wrong. Something wrong with both Mordant and the elemental spirit.

"Walker…is it the mana?" The mana that everyone had used during the meeting of elemental spirits had been higher but it was not something that should be causing issues.

"Coming through! Coming through!" Remey nearly knocked the dragonkin out of the way. She had been contacted by another dragonkin that had run for the alchemy guild as soon as Mordant fell down. This was because she would be able to bring the best potions in the fastest time.

"What did you bring? Mordant has a high fever and doesn't seem to be absorbing mana well." Walker didn't hesitate to report what he knew. That was all though. It was not much but enough to start on.

"That's what I want to know. The dark affinity potion he consumed should be working. I check it while coming here and I have no adverse reactions even though I lack a dark affinity. That means that someone with the affinity would benefit. I should have felt a negative side effect if the potion was made wrong or if my body rejected it. There was nothing like that." The panic Remey had at first was that her potion had somehow become a poison.

"Then it's not the affinity potion. You two kids need to evaluate his ability to absorb mana. Walker, take my hand. I will be introducing my mana mixed with a healing skill. Use your all around appraisal and see what is happening." The high priest had seen healer's identification skills.

These skills were rare even when it came to healing. Mostly because when it came to them, they were particular about the illnesses or injuries that healers had. Some were even specific to one part of a being's body. "My skill can check the entire body, but I do not have the mana to fully analyze him. He is a much stronger person than I am. Your mana should help me make it through."

The pair took hands and placed their other hands on Mordant's chest. The mana that circulated while Walker used his skill gave them a very strange answer that they could not understand.

'Ancient Darkness dragon (Mordant)- Mana sickness

This is an older darkness dragon known as an ancient dragon. They hold some of the most power of their species and affinity. They have great potential that exceeds what most would imagine and can even ascend to the darkness plane of existence with proper training.

Due to the spirit mark and their relationship with a grand elemental spirit, they have absorbed purer darkness elemental mana. This has caused the adjustment of mana in their body. Unfortunately, the mana is not able to balance with the mana in the world surrounding them. The elemental spirit has fallen dormant due to the imbalance.

The balance must be restored to properly release the built up pure darkness mana. Until then the mana will be attracted to the ancient dragon causing negative reactions…'

There was a lot more information going on about the strengths Mordant had and what other things he had about him. But Walker had focused on the specifics that related to why Mordant was having issues with mana. "Are you seeing what I am? The mana is the problem. There is too much pure mana entering his body without balance. That shouldn't be the case. How could there be an issue if we just balanced the mana in the world?"

"I am seeing that his body naturally absorbs darkness mana. That's the same for anyone with the affinity. But a dragon is much faster at it. And I also feel that this mark on his scales is increasing that many times over." The high priest could see that this was not a good thing at all. It was much more than should be happening to anyone. "There are also blockages of pure mana holding it in place. It's like the mana wants to remain separate."

There was a rumbling as more commotion happened outside. Remey, Alice, and Walker were already on the move while the high priest and Onyx watched over Mordant.

"I knew you would all be here at a moment's notice. Mordant fell ill. He is having problems releasing mana to balance what he is absorbing. It has to be something with the elemental spirit. But that's not normal. The mana should all be balanced." Walker was desperately trying to sense what might be wrong around them. From his point of view it was all normal.

"Wait, where is Current." The other dragons had all rushed there. They were standing silently because they knew Walker had more information. However, Ventus saw the missing person easily.

"He should be here, how could that smug bastard think anything else is more important." Ignus was ready to fall in to a rage and chase Current down.

"Here…I am….here." The weak voice that greeted them was a pale looking Current.

"Don't tell me you are like this too?" Walker pushed himself to get next to Current immediately.

"No, I don't have an issue like that. It's like my mana doesn't want to react with anything. The elves are the same. The water elves can't gather mana. The water mana can't be gathered!" His response was shocking enough to make everyone stunned. This wasn't an issue just with balance bust specifically with water elemental mana.

"What do you mean water elemental mana? That's not…water elemental mana?" Terron tried to respond but slowed his thinking. He was having trouble placing the water elemental mana in his memories.

"I know that water elemental mana exists. It does. I know your village resides close enough to mine. I look over it. You have many elders and young dragons. You were at the royal court. But I can not discern your mana." Rise finally spoke. Out. she was slightly shaken because she had never had such an experience.

"That's the problem! Water elemental mana isn't balanced! Why is it not balanced? The meeting of the grand spirits should have fixed that! I know that the water floor in the mage tower was….was not occupied." Remey reflected on what she had seen. "Why is there not a water grand elemental spirit? How did we not realize that!? We didn't actually balance anything but the world even responded saying that the quest was done." Remey was getting more and more worked up by the second.

'World Quest: Missing mana

The world has been greatly deceived. The balance sought by the meeting of grand elemental spirits has been attacked. The grand water elemental spirit Luna is remembered by history. Powerful figures related to the balance of mana will receive this quest

Requirement: find the grand water elemental spirit Luna and return balance.

Reward: Language skill, System adjustment, words of the world,'

This was a major quest. A major event that was drawing many beings in to a search for the grand water elemental spirit.

"The world remembered. This is a big deal." Walker mumbled. He was thinking that things must be worse than he realized.

"We must fix this. All of you must fix this. Every single water affinity being is suffering right now." Current understood why this was an issue. The other elemental manas had attempted to balance themselves. The problem was that the water elemental mana was being forced away because it didn't have an equally powerful force to bolster it. Now they were seeing the results.

"Just what could make us forget that though? How could we not realize or even remember there should be a water elemental spirit until now? Even the world was fooled…" Remey was angry but more confused than anything. Walker could only fall in to deep thought himself.
