Chapter 1997 1997. Other Existences

With multiple compliments from Su and Alcie aside, there was a slight amazement as well. Alice herself was shocked. She had expected to need all of her mana and mental energy to heal Remey. Especially when she noticed that Remey's skin was literally burning under the immense heat of the pure fire mana.

The pure fire mana had even leaked out to push everyone but Ignus and Walker away from where they originally stood. The sweat on Walker's forehead was proof of the genuine strength that the mana held.

Yet, here they were. Remey was even better off than before. She had a slight shine of brilliance around her that betrayed the true essence of weakness she had right now after her body had been reshaped.

"I will carry you back. A walk would be good to clear our minds… and answer questions. I can sense you are unique now." Ignus looked at Remey who instantly began to protest being carried.

"I can walk on y, ow two feet you know-"

"And that was not a question or an offer." Ignus scooped Remey up without another word. Remey didn't even protest past that. She just looked at him with a slight glare that made Ignus softly chuckle. The entire event was slightly awkward for everyone who expected Remey to burst out in a fist fight.

"Walker, just use the all around appraisal. I know you can use it and see what happened. I think that will be better for everyone." Remey's clearly tired expression won out with this. He had held himself back to be polite. He did not want to invade his family's privacy. However, Remey had given her approval. He also could supplement how he used the appraisal by looking through the party section of their systems.

Everyone looked at him expectantly as Walker took a deep breath before doing his best to examine what the system would say about what Remey truly was right now. What her race and what she was at the core of her existence now.

'Draconic flame soul- humanoid

A unique being that has used a spirit race spirit mark to connect their body and soul at the deepest levels. Through the addition of draconic rituals and assistance, a bond was strengthened. Therefore, the soul and body are naturally one instead of two separate entities that make up one being.

Normally, these beings are unique to the elemental planes since they need high amounts of mana to be able to survive. They can both live off of foods natural to the central world, or off of mana entirely.

Due to a bond with a?flame dominator dragon, draconic qualities are evident in the physicality and spiritual level. Along with this, the markings that used to be spirit markings have become the soul flame runes that channel immense pure fire mana. They can not be influenced by outside forces unless a deep bond exists.

The human like body can be healed with purer fire mana along with normal healing. However, it is much weaker to magical attacks of opposing manas. Therefore, water mana will noticeably weaken it. However, in a fire mana based environment, the strength will enhance the body by leaps and bounds.

Controlling fire mana comes naturally, it also is part of their body. A pure fire mana core allows them to gather fire mana within themselves while also using it to supplement their overall skills that require fire mana. Channeling other manas throughout their body is impossible unless unique equipment is used. However, that equipment will need to be highly resistant to fire mana since the heat of the body is significantly higher than others…'

Walker's head hurt a little. There was so much information that he was unsure what to say or do.

They all knew that there were monsters, races, and beings in general that lived within the elemental planes. This was something that they could not deal with as they were now. They could not even attempt to understand or rival them. The entire party had witnessed the gryphon summoned by Ibis when he had defended against Pride.

This thought alone was enough to understand the depths and strength that Remey had gained by taking an unknown path. "Because she was with me, this was possible. I have never considered that. If another human attempted this, they may parish." Ignus spoke softly. So softly that everyone barely heard it. His mind seemed to dwell on the potential that Remey would have died if he had not shared the mana he did with her when growing to become a dominator dragon.

"So that's why you have some scale patterns on your skin now. And why your nails are longer. But your hair is definitely because of the soul part. You have hair that looks like fire now." Su was unperturbed by the change in Remey's race from human to a more unique being. She had already changed herself in her own path to being stronger. Why would she judge?

"She is going to be very powerful. I guess the elemental knuckles will have to be reforged again though." Gil's laugh was because he found it very funny. Remey had nearly broken all of them while growing a stronger. Now, the wandering blacksmith had an additional challenge.

The elemental knuckles had been made so that Remey could fight with more strength against opposing elemental affinity monsters. Naturally, she now needed even stronger ones to even use those manas at a smaller level than before. But even if she did, the flames she could wield in her fists would be an immense challenge for any monster to face. Even fire affinity type monsters.

"What does it mean that her soul and body are one now?" Onyx's question was simple enough. They all understood that there was a depth of understanding they all could not yet grasp.

"Well, it must mean that naturally, we have a body and soul that are not completely fused. I know that there are system users that have skills called soul walkers or soul mages. They focus on using their souls as mediums. But normally, souls are not mentioned or referenced at all in the world." Walker calmly said this.

"You have that correct. But dragon's believe in souls more than most races. The elve may as well. The soul of nature or otherwise.?It is something that only the powerful dragons should be able to influence with their mana. I have a small sense that I can grasp it now compared to before."

"So you're saying that only those that are able to master their affinities or whatever they are strong in can grasp at their soul which is already part of them? That is very interesting. I believed that a soul was just an expression of mental will. Or for the mana within the body. Brother, could this be what life mana is all about?"

This was a lot to consider. Walker would not have said anything or done much about this since he could tell it was well out of his league right now. "I think this is something we will learn more about as we get stronger. But life mana was challenging to understand and grasp. However, if we put that together with souls and existences outside of this plane, I can see it. Maybe we just have not understood what life really is and how it is part of us."

This seemed to be enough to push everyone in to thought. The only one that did not show much of an interest was Midnight. She was in her own world.

Mostly because she was amazed by how the dominator dragon changes could be sued by Remey as well. She knew that a nature dominator dragon would be possible. But she also knew that because she was a champion and not a nature dragon, that it might now be a path for her. She also doubted that Walker would actually be traveling that path. They were both too unique.

Yet, her mind sat on that. Remey had traveled a new path. A dangerous one. But she had done it. Why couldn't Midnight do that very same thing with Walker as her partner through it?

"You and I will grow stronger too. Remey just stepped in to a new realm unique to her. But she gave us a little hint on what the future will look like when we can adventure through the elemental planes." Walker found Midnight's head to give her a pat. It was reassuring to her since she was worried but also curious. So much so.

"That's right, I am the strongest in the group now." Remey managed to say this before her eyes drooped and she fell asleep in Ignus's arms. No one dared wake her up. She had done something amazing, she deserved the rest.

"Ignus, you better protect her well." Walker said this just loudly enough for Ignus to her. The response was a soft growl that made Walker understand he intended to do just that.
