Master Of None

Chapter 761 - 761. Spirit Fusion

Walker had no idea why the elemental spirits were instructing him. However, as he started t pile up the elemental crystals in to place he felt them beginning to pull the elemental mana from the crystals and enlarge their bodies. 

The other elemental spirits and the water hound backed far away from this. It was as if their instincts were warning them that they should not interfere under any circumstances. Su and Elise were right next to the water hound and had worried looks on their faces. "Are you two alright?" Walker was not sure why they appeared to be so worried and had grown worried for them as well. 

"Walker, do you not feel it?" Su was worried even more by this. His shaky voice came out and she used his name to express her true emotions even more. "The pressure that they are creating with their mana?" 

The fire spirit that had been using the dragon style golem as it's dwelling bravely came to Walker's side and motioned toward the spirits. "Preparing. Dense mana." Walker was being kept from all of this mana because the spirits were preparing it for a quest that involved him. This was clear to everyone but him. He had not felt it. 

The fire spirit was forced to retreat again while Walker began to fully understand. The reason the spirits that had decided to join him were expanding was obviously the mana they were gathering from every single elemental crystal present. On top of that, it was also the reason for the pressure. Such dense mana rarely showed up anywhere for this reason. 

"This...is this like a storm? Do you guys feel like it's about to rain or thunder?" Walker wanted to know sp that he could properly learn. Storms would use a lot of the natural mana at once which caused it to be much more dense and powerful. 

"Stronger. It's ten times more than the lightning in the plains." Elise spoke up this time while inching away. 

"I thought I felt the wind shift. Let me help you out." Zephyr had come through the air after feeling the massive amount of dense mana. Walker had no idea where Gil was or if they had even been together. However, he saw that when Zephyr began to channel her own mana through the air and around the others they relaxed significantly. "You should stand in the middle and let them take some of your mana. When they finish they will be resting in your spirit mark for some time." 

Walker was not fully sure what was happening but this was all that Zephyr offered. She instead fell back to the others and started talking to Su. Walker couldn't hear a word. 

After stepping in to the middle of the circle he watched as the spirits began to fall apart. Their elemental bodies were not what they truly were and it was clear that they would not need them. Their elemental mana was the true core of their being and that was what form they had embodied. It was not something that could be seen but something that only those sensitive to the natural mana of the world could sense clearly. Even Walker could only feel where they were but not their exact shape and design. He was still too inexperienced. 

Feeling that he was being pulled somewhere he began to release his mana in to the air. It was greedily taken in by each spirit leaving a shred of it within them as they all began to chase each other around Walker. It was a strange occurrence but through it, Walker could see the natural order of how the elementals worked. With the enlightenment, he had felt before it was a much clearer show of the way the world worked. 

Along with all of this, he could see the reactions of the mana coming together and falling in to balance. The strange bonding was also pulling small bits of every single elemental around him. The shadows seemed to split and the light of the setting sun was pulled in. Small pebbles and drops pof water came toegter. The wind swirled around pulling small embers from the mansion's smoke stack towards them. 

Walker could feel the small parts of his mana merging together and a burning sensation on his hand. It was nothing he had experienced before. The burning was not necessarily physical. He felt that it was flowing through his very existence. 

He watched as a small marble start to form. It was black with hues of each elemental color within it. He wasn't sure how it was formed but he knew that it was the fusion of every single spirit putting their elemental and mana bodies together. 

'The will of the world has expanded. The True hero has begun to heal the corruption of the world. The birth of a new world spirit has come to this era. Lesser nature spirit has fully formed. Spirit mark to the True hero has been established. The lesser nature spirit will slumber.'

The system notified Walker but he had no chance to read it at the moment. The marble sank in to the spirit mark and Walker could feel something resting within his soul. His mana that had been leaking was now flowing directly to the spirit mark instead of out in to the air. 

"Huh, that solves that problem." Walker was surprised by the change but felt that it was a valuable assistance. He could also tell that the mana was assisting the lesser nature spirit to grow. He also knew that it would eventually grow to be the world spirit the system had just notified him of. It was sure to be a boon for the world and everything encompassed by it. 

"Walker! Are you safe!?" Su ran up to him worried more than she had been. Walker was her family and she feared he had been hurt in some way.
