Master Of None

Chapter 799 - 799. Awaken

 Was bringing the elemental mana crystals over at a faster and faster rate. At some point, she had given up on just bringing one or two and was now taking armfuls of them from the storage area attached to the forge. 

The spirit mark was pulling all of the natural mana that Walker fused in to it as if it had never been given mana before. The amount of mana that had already been consumed was by no means small, yet, there were no signs of it stopping. 

"Leader, that was the last of them." Su was standing with a stack of empty crates next to him. She was shaking her head and pointing to them along with the empty looking storage addition. "You used them all, we have shards though." Walker had not even noticed all of this. There were countless mana crystal shards around him. 

Midnight was using her tail to push them in to place near the wandering blacksmith who had already made a few mana gems while Walker had been creating the natural mana. However, this was not the surprising part.. What was really attracting his attention were the elemental spirits he had attracted to him by using such a large amount of mana and also turning it in to natural mana. 

The idea slowly formed within Walker's mind as he saw possibility. "Would all of you like to help me awaken the nature spirit that is sleeping now?" There was no hesitation. The calm spirits all started to match the circle Walker had made with the elemental mana crystals. The natural mana he had been creating was something that they could resonate with and felt the importance. This was more than just mana and helping. This was the closest they could get to bonding with the world that had led to their creation. It was a chance to be one with nature and the world. 

Su and Walker were amazed. Over twenty of the spirits had come from around. Some that Walker could tell were unique like the ice spirit that had fused in to the nature spirit. They had all been exploring the city and like the fire spirit that had changed itself in to an alchemy fire spirit, they had also found changes. However, this was not something Walker could worry about. 

Before he knew it the spirits were exerting their force on their unique elements. The mana that came rushing was dense and hard to control, so much so that some of the mana gems the wandering blacksmith and Midnight had prepared were instantly filled to the brim. 

The speed at which Walker drank a mana potion was the fastest yet. He could not waste this elemental mana and he knew it. Using all of the mana available he began to drastically force the elemental manas together. The natural mana fusion skill was eating away at his own mana at a rapid pace that he wasn't sure that the mana potions he had would be enough. 

The spirit mark had started to burn but Walker couldn't focus on it. This didn't stop the expansion of the mark. The round planet symbol was slowly becoming more. The elemental symbols were branching off like a tree and the symbol was moving. The only ones that noticed this were Su and the wandering Blacksmith. Midnight was focused on her task and the elemental spirits were pulling more mana toward them. 

When the spirit mark finally reached his back a full tree was burning itself with white light. The elemental symbols and those of combined elemental symbols became branches and leaves. The cent was the same planet symbol as before. Walker had long lost the feeling of pair and was instead trying to understand the feeling in the mana. It had changed. He could feel it. 

The mana was combining by itself or as he soon realized that his mana was no longer manipulating the elemental mana but instead the natural mana around him. The elemental spirits had stopped assisting and were almost all exhausted while falling near the ground to rest. Walker did not know when this change occurred but felt the stress in his still joints. 

'The skill nature mana manipulation has been used. The user is influenced by the natural mana. The skill nature mana manipulation has been automatically learned. The magic skills the user can learn now extend in to nature magic and nature spirit magic. The title; young sage, has been granted by the world. The lesser nature spirit has awakened. 

Nature mana manipulation- 1+ mana cost

The user is able to harness the mana within nature. The combination of elemental mana is the very basis for natural phenomena. There are few able to manipulate all elemental manas to create and shape natural mana but those that can are said to create beyond imagination. The potential comes with a great price. Natural mana is extremely hard to harness fully and has a wild aspect. No one can tame the will of the world.

Title; Young sage

The holder granted this title will have a sixth sense when it comes to sensing natural magic. The one bestowed with this title is able to innately sense and find the path to learning nature magic and skills. This title has the ability to grow with the title holders' understanding of natural mana.

The lesser nature spirit has been granted a name. The name Fleur meaning young flower has been granted by the worlds' will.'

Walker felt the mana leave him and a single being took his vision. What rested in front of him was a fairy like being. Wings of each elemental mana stretched behind it showing the connections it had. The body was made even more detailed by the myriad of natural mana and if anyone didn't know they would swear this was a real fairy and not a lesser nature spirit. Before Walker passed out he whispered the spirit's name. "Fleur."
