Chapter  2094. Take It Slow

"Wonder what everyone will say when they realize they can beat you up now." Remey chuckled as she threw on a jacket.

The party had already been healed enough to move around. After Alice had woken up, many healers had come in to use their mana to help her finish the most healing that they could. From what it appeared, the healers had all gained a lot as well. Many of them had become unique forms of healers. Some focused on bones, others on bleeding wounds, and even a few were focused on purifying the body of poisons. This was an amazing example of how the systems before had been just part of what they should have been. Now that everything was as it should be, the degree of classes was far greater. Each of the classes appeared to be affected by the experiences that everyone had. They Were not just given out as generic terms. As a generic set of rules to follow. If someone has healed with a focus on repairing bones because they had the skills to do so, then naturally they had managed to become a bone mender. From there, some of the healers had taken to forming their own smaller healing teams. They could handle various injuries at the same time. It was an astounding thing to witness happening without much guidance at all. The people that focused on certain elemental manas and healing were also very different. They focused on the manas that they had affinities with. From there, they used that mana within the body to heal. Those with water affinity were focusing on the regrowth of blood or the detoxification of poisons. An interesting take on how healing worked which would take years to study and document. "Alice, you can let go of my arm. Just because I am level one again doesn't mean that I am unable to do much. I can still use a lot of the skills I had earlier. The all around appraisal is still working. Basic mana manipulation is working, well, it changed names and condensed itself to true mana manipulation, but regardless, I can still use it." Walker felt a little odd. He was not used to being the one treated as weaker. He had always thrown himself at the head of everything. Beyond that, he was also being looked at with reverence he had not felt before. Like he was a walking legend. But that was the entire party right now. They were all heroes of the hour. "I see that you managed to live through all that." Mordant walked out of a shadow and looked at the party and Walker. His eyes were slightly surprised since he had wondered if Walker was really this weak compared to what he had sensed when they moved to recuse the party after their battle. "We did. And yes, I am level one again. Apparently using all of my experience, my skills, and everything as fuel to control true mana was the only way out of that. I can never use that true hero mastery skill again too. Not that I think it's needed." When Mordant heard this, he broke a smile. Losing his normally cool and calm exterior. "So you have to grow again. I give it a year before you can walk around stronger than anyone again." Mordant seemed to be placing bets. "I can have some of my children fight with you to train. Maybe you can become a better nature dragon that way." Ventus's giggle was mirrored by the few wind spirits that had begun to follow her. They seemed to really enjoy her influence on the wind mana as a wind dominator dragon. "You have some new friends. Zephyr will probably bother you too when she wakes up." Gil could sense that Zephyr would be sleeping for some time due to him using a mastery skill. She had aided him a lot in that endeavor. Therefore, it made sense that she would need the rest more than just about anyone else. "I will keep that in mind. I think I will be taking a long journey around the skies to see what else we can find out there." From the way that Ventus spoke, she planned to map out more of the world properly. Especially since she didn't feel prepared to go to the wind elemental plane yet. "Who cares about exploring this and that. You should just get stronger so you can find those other wind dragons who went off in to the planes alone.' Ignus growled this out a bit. But his actions seemed to be different from his words. He had fixed his eyes on Remey. She didn't break eye contact either. "What? Think I will just tell you that I'm sorry or whatever? I had to fight with everything I had and use most of my mana. You owed me for that grand fire affinity potion anyways. So you owed me some pure fire mana to help me heal." Her words were rough, but Ignus's scoff at the end of them matched her tone. "Says the arrogant alchemist that should be heading right to the fire elemental plane instead of staying here?" The two proceeded to argue as they spoke. No one interrupted them but kept their own conversations going. "Terron and Current are busy on their own. Terron said that the changes in the earth will allow us more places to build our villages next to Genesis. It should help the elders take human forms. Current wants to make sure that the oceans are also handled. He and Leon are already wandering the waters around the island." With what Mordant had gathered, it appeared that many of the things going on now would be handled by the dragons to some degree. They were important members of the alliance after all. "What about Rise?" Su's question was met almost immediately by the dragon in question. "I will be handling the issues related to these angles. Many of them have a light affinity. They are not using it properly. Especially since they have many with issues that can not be resolved without someone witnessing their arguments." For her to be so hands on was surprising. Yet, she also had taken an interest in their floating cities. They were closer to the sunlight in the sky. "It all sounds like we don't have to worry too much. Brother, sister, maybe we should go home?" Onyx wanted to head back to Genesis. He wanted to see how everyone was taking these changes. Especially the younger serpents that could not come with him here. Those that were here were nearly all resting right now. But they had surely experienced a great change as well. "By the way, Scylla already began gathering the demi-humans to leave again. Apparently, there will be a large tournament or tournaments she needs to put on. Something abiotic new battle styles she needs to test out and witness." Mordant felt that Scylla was really single minded. She was powerful, but had a slight battle obsession. "That's just part of her culture. The demi-humans have their own arenas in their home kingdom and now in Genesis. I would not be surprised if it lasts for a year or more this grand tournament." Walker's laughter made it seem that he was trying to avoid being dragged in to this battle himself. "I think when we all get back, we will have to have a long talk about the state of the world. About what has changed. For now though, we can help everyone heal before we get back on the ship. This island is going to remain in ruins. We should make it a historical ruin though. We might be using it to travel sooner than later." Walker looked at the ruins on the tall mountain. He could sense the opening to the elemental planes. He also could guess that more areas like that had fallen in to place around the world when the first had clicked in to place. The fragment just needed the right amount of true mana to guide it back in to place. To glue the parts of the bridge back to where they should be so to speak. "That will be a pain in the but we can handle later." Gil shrugged. He didn't want to explore anywhere. He just wanted to sit around and be happy for a while. "You get up and you haven't even come to me yet!?" Alma's shout made Gil flinch. He had to get this talking to out of the way now. Avoiding her any more would make it all worse. "Listen, I had to try all I had to make sure that-" His words were cut off as Alma hugged him. Now he felt that he had been kind of dumb. "Let's all just take our time to help out around the battlefield before we head home. The ships could do with one last examination too." Walker smiled and held Alice's hand a little tighter before wandering towards the healing tents. He could still use a basic healing skill.  …
