Chapter 25: 2
Layton sat trapped on the blue throne hidden in a mezzanine space close to the origin of the plane.
Although the throne served as his prison Layton was in no hurry to leave, he could leave the plane at any time, after all, he had helped create a huge change that affected the whole plane by connecting the spirit realm and the material world, wizards who used the dimensional eroder to go to a distorted plane could leave the plane when they have left their mark on the plane, that is by changing an era or being part of a huge change that had a profound impact on the world, and Layton had fulfilled this requirement, although he guessed there were other ways to leave after a certain time had passed but Layton had no idea what they were after all solace wouldn’t tell him.
Layton really couldn’t see any difference with what they were doing and the strange objects that distorted the plane in the first place making it a distorted after all the plane was being influenced and changed, either way, he guessed he would know more once he returned to the wizarding world.
Layton brought back his thoughts to the present, his rune was currently perpetually active serving as a relay station for both the spirit and the material world making sure their separate rules would merge without causing fundamental damage to the plane.
Since he landed in the plane he was kept here by the plane forcefully activating his rune forcing him to try and connect the spirit and material world, the jailbreak of his two companions just speeded up the process and gave him more room for conscious manipulation of the process.
The process gave him a lot of insights into the working of the spirit realm, though the spirit layer in this plane was different from the one in the wizarding world, the difference being that in this plane which Layton brazenly named the bender plane, the spirit realm here was in the form of spirit particles that is in energy form similar to the elemental layers in the wizarding world, while the astral realm in the wizard layer was composed of information, one of the reasons why Layton had not left the bender plane yet was that he was trying to use the throne to make the insights he had gained become compatible for use in the wizarding world.
The other reason was that although he was stuck the throne was surprisingly comfortable and he was getting stronger every moment, Layton calculated that by the time he left the plane he would become a 1st order wizard.
.....
Layton gazed into the void he could see almost everything happening presently in the plane, he could see the rapidly strengthening aboriginals, the spirit particles in the air making them stronger and the few that were already at the limit of the plane were already growing stronger past the limits. Speaking of which in the bender plane there was no clear way of cultivating, their strength grew stronger the more precise or huge the bending of their elements got.
Most aboriginals had the ability to command and manipulate one of the four elements of fire water earth or air their strength was ranked by the number of elements they could manipulate at a time, that or by creating a new type of way to bend, for example, a middle-aged man named Raiden who fired lightning at the vampire wizard who Layton had learned was called Damon could be called a fire bending master since he could manipulate lightning even though he was innately a fire bender, and the old woman May who was close to Raiden was a grandmaster, at her best she could create a rainstorm covering the whole city and manipulate the raindrops and weather giving her a strong lethality.
A grandmaster level figure in this plane could cause severe fatal damage to any mediocre level 1 wizard that confronted them in this elementally barren plane but Layton wasn’t worried the three wizard apprentices who had all come to this plane were all genius level figures and once fully adapted to the bareness of the plane would be able to exert their seed level combat power.
Although Layton was connected to the will of the plane he had no idea exactly how the aboriginals could do this precise and powerful manipulation of the elements without any elemental layer of elemental particles in this plane and no special energy in their bodies, Layton chalked up this weirdness to the special rules of the plane, he was curious how exactly the indigenes of the plane would react when their word changed to one with rich energy, but that thought could only remain in his head, he was not able to achieve such a change, it was his limit to return the spirit plane to the material world and that was only because the two were originally one in the first place.
