Master Of None

Chapter 1682 1482. After The Storm

If Walker had not been afraid of falling asleep while he meditated. It was actually expected since he had used so much mana and stressed his mind greatly. Fortunately, everyone on the ship had seen him sit down and start meditating before he had fallen asleep. It was fair to let him be after what he and Alma just did.

The elves rushed to Alma after they had seen her also sit down. He had been pushed to her limits and beyond. No normal person would have as much mana as they had just used. The single reason they had been able to was that she had barely used her own mana to make the plants grow. It had all been natural mana from the storm.

The fact that this was the case allowed Alma to reach a higher usage of a skill she was not able to use all the time. She had felt the minute changes in the wild bull kelp as it had grown, been destroyed, and recovered. All these things pushed her mind to a new way of guiding both it, and other plants in the future.

That was the sole reason that she too had to sit and think. It was a great change in her understanding of her own skills. The elves knew how valuable an opportunity this was and took over their duties after helping her to her room to rest. Gil had also rushed over after he had done his due diligence around the other ship.

Meanwhile, the royal dragons had all taken up places on the ship Alma had been on. They were there since Walker had been using so much natural mana. They had also seen the skills that he used. Current and Ventus had missed a lot of it since they were blocking waves. Small patches of their scales had blackened a little but were unharmed since they were very tough in their age and strength.

The lightning had been unable to harm them truly. It had made marks on their scales which felt like an attack of nature. Yet, they did feel when Walker had begun using related skills. The lightning had literally wrapped around him and the ships to such a large degree before suddenly ceasing all together. No one could miss that.

The remnant natural mana also kept them around. They knew that Walker was using it and releasing what he and Fleur didn't need. Just being around the denser natural mana was beneficial to them. They could sense their elemental affinities within it. How they mixed and how they could not grasp it the same ways that Walker could. It was both frustrating and amazing.

While Walker sat cross legged, he had felt the mana in his body. The natural mana and his own mana seemed closer than before. It was as if they were friends greeting one another. Using his own mana and using natural mana was close to the same thing for Walker.

The changes in his body were also very different. Walker remembered that he had suffered from losing his mana, to being able to store access mana in his body to train himself, and finally to fixing some problems by understanding natural mana. These had all been side effects of what he had done to himself.

Using the mana and forcing it out or to be used over and over was rough on any body or any race. A body needed to grow naturally, Walker had definitely not grown naturally. That was the main reason behind him having so many issues when it came to mana being within him. However, that had begun to change.

The closer that Walker had gotten to the bonds that he could sense between him, Midnight, Onyx, and Fleur, the more he had changed. It was normal for a tamer to take on characteristics of their tamed monster and vice versa. It was just how they communicated and became closer. However, Walker was bonded right to the soul. A perfectly equal bond at the deepest level.

That meant that he shared more than just a bind. He shared everything. The dragon aspects he had taken on that made him the new nature royal dragon would show more as he grew. It was also why he was getting closer to Fleur and being able to control the natural mana and other manas better even though he was not actively training them to a high degree.

This storm had shown this. He was able to condense so much natural mana for Fleur to take and for others to use through contact with him. These things were hard to understand. Furthermore, he had gained valuable knowledge about elemental fusion. The fusion to make lightning but also how fire, water, and wind interact in general.

The bond with Onyx had further helped Walker. He had sensed the shadows and the light in the air as well. The lightning would cast light around that had been sitting at the top of the clouds. This in turn had cast shadows and brought out the darkness elemental mana. All of this had been a great way to stimulate this bond and further push Walker to understand it. The mysteries of an ancient abyssal serpent. The strangeness that would come of it was definitely going to be showing itself more to him.

It wasn't hard for Walker to find that Midnight, Onyx, and Fleur all sensed this too. They were connected to him and were also going to learn from this. Midnight would sense elemental manas better while Onyx was sure to see where his affinities fit in to the storm. But out of all of them, Fleur gained the most.

She had been gaining a lot more lately. The knowledge she gained while her intellect improved stood out. She had been resting and exploring the ships constantly. That helped her have deeper reserves of natural mana, solidify her body, and learn new things. That was why she would be able to speak better and also understand what was happening better.

Fleur was filled with mysteries. The world and nature itself were present within her consciousness. That should be clear to anyone how much was left to her in life so far. She had to understand it all just as Walker had to learn to understand all mana around him.

But it all was a drop in the bucket. All the condensed natural mana that she had soaked up while the storm was around was just a little thing. She had so much more that he needed to become a full fledged nature or world spirit. It would take a lot more time unless she was pushed as well. The world was sure to see this and issue challenges. It was only a matter of time before she would need to show her own strength as a grand nature elemental spirit.

"He really fell asleep like that. Meditating." Ventus had not cleaned up yet, but instead sat looking at Walker trying to grasp more understandings about the wind in natural mana.

"Yes, he is just like us. Who of us has not had a great breakthrough and found themselves asleep after it? Mental stress is greater than physical at times." Current smiles. He had fought the ocean, a great body of water. He had broken waves and faced lightning. He felt greater than ever.

"Making us throw seeds like human farmers. It was degrading. But powerful." Terron was glad to help but had believed it to be worthless. He kind of liked being proved wrong at the moment. But more than anything, he had liked being useful instead of hiding away from the storm.

"You are all talking too much. He used fire elemental mana in his mix to make lightning. I need to focus." Ignus was just annoyed that the others were not meditating themselves.

"He did more than that, Ignus, he managed to use more mana than he could even store. He definitely just became a lot stronger. I just wonder if he realizes that he has a different look when he does that. If he even realizes that his eyes and skin looked a little more like us." Mordant didn't look too closely. He was sure though, that he had not seen wrong. Walker had been just a little more like them through this.

"I should expect these things. He has already shown me enough." Rise was the only one that did not look in to things too much. She wanted to fly to the sun and see what light she could feel. However, the temptation of learning more just now was too great. She had to understand more about her own mana and the relationship it had within natural mana.

? There were too many tempting things within their meditation now. She was missing too much. There were too many things, too many fusions, and too much they lacked. For the first time in a long time, Rise felt like a young dragon again. The world was new.
