Master Of None

Chapter 2168 2168. Mana contract

"It has been some time since another has come. Especially one like yourself. Young but able to do so much." The devouring dragon in a dragonoid form moved slowly forward. His face was a little more pointed due to the teeth and other strange elegant features of his body. However, Walker could clearly sense the calmness of the mana around him. This wasn't a being that was threatening them. Sinetad, Walker could hear the curiosity but also some apprehension in the way that he spoke. "We are here hunting the master of the undead that your dragonoid just killed." Walker reiterated why they were in the elemental planes. He was certain that this was what the light devouring dragon was wondering about. "I can understand why. It has already tread in to territories banned to most beings of the elemental planes. You should sense it as well, all of you should feel it with your unique constitutions." this was very true in a matter of sensing the manas. The place they had made their way to was a very large area of more imbalance and less dense elemental manas. Especially since there was a lot of different mana surrounding them. Wakker had sensed it first, but everyone had felt it since they had been acclimating to the much denser manas. Having those gone all the sudden was somewhat shocking. "We have noticed the changes as we pursued them. However, we are still doing so. They can not get stronger and rebuild their body." The emphasis on all of this made the light devouring dragon appear a little worried. It was not often that they encountered strangers that were hunting someone with such seriousness. "You have come to an edge. Well, an edge to what you may sense is the end of an elemental plane. This boundary is full of pieces of elemental planes being built. Some have unknown monsters, others possess unique fused manas. I guard this land while we grow. I only came because of what is sensed from you." The light devouring dragon had come because he had sensed the way that the elemental manas were being manipulated. Partially the same as an origin being but also because of the dragon aura that he had sensed. It was very unusual to sense this when they were moving around this place. Hence why the light devouring dragon had paid so much attention. When he had come and seen the party, he was more curious than before. Specifically because he could tell there was a half dragon there and a very young but much more powerful than they should be dragon champion. "I know it may be different to see us. We came from the world hunting that criminal." The light devouring dragon froze a little. It was clear that this was stunning information. "I have yet to hear the results of the king's meeting. The sage's meeting as well." This made the rest of the party raise their eyebrows. "So the elemental kings and true sages are going to have a meeting about the world? I thought that the true earth sage already seemed to want to protect and keep the world balanced." Remey's assumption was enough to make the light devouring dragon even more confused. "We are learning a lot about the elemental planes and many of the different races that call it home. We hear a lot about the dragons and the origin beings. The ways that the planes are formed. But we are still new to this. We have met the earth king and the true earth sage. The angelic wind spirits, and a few others. Right now though, you are the first of the devouring dragons we have met. And the first dragonoid." "You are the first young origin being I have ever met, the first half dragon in a very long time, one of the few fire dragon souls, and one with the blood of the high elves. They do not leave their seclusion. And two very other interesting ones. You remind me of the older serpents. Those that have since traveled beyond the boundaries. But you, your blood contains that of the champions. How many years since a champion has been raised." A look of nostalgia took the light devouring dragon's face. Both happy and sad. "The champions are still important to the dragon race. A draconic guardian like myself is also very important to every dragon champion and every royal dragon." Su stood tall next to Midnight making both the light dragonoid and the light devouring dragon look at them with completely dumbfounded awe. "A lot has happened differently between the world and the elemental plane. Some things changed, the dragonkin here became dragonoids. The royals and elders dragons strived to learn about their lost history in the world while those here became dominator and devourer dragons. The same with angels, orcs, and so many different beings here grew up in ways I can't even explain." "You are correct. The history we have here is very different. The history that comes with the elemental planes is different even one boundary to another. Meetings between the kings and the sages are what holds the balance. That is their role. We all have our roles in the balances that are needed to avoid wars between the planes." From what Walker could tell, the balance was something very important to every intelligent race within the elemental planes. The races that became powerful were responsible for upholding certain aspects of these balances. Ensuring that they would not fall and would not be broken. That was how important the elemental wars had been between the planes at the beginning of the world being isolated from them. "It appears your small group can change a great deal by being the academics we need." from what the light devouring dragon was considering, he would need them to come with him. But then he recalled what the party was here for. "What are your plans for when the world begins coming here more often?" A pressure of light mana came around them. The light devouring dragon had begun to focus on the seriousness of what may happen and what else could happen if there was not a guiding hand to the world. "We are the founders of the Genesis Alliance. We already have plans for exploration, learning, and much more for the elemental planes. If we do not handle the problem that escaped here, all of that will not work. That is why we need assistance. Can you do that?" "Can you guarantee that we will meet those dragons of the world. Those left behind by time?" Now Walker understood. Just as the dragons of the world had lost parts of their history, the knowledge to becoming a dominator dragon, the dragons here had done so as well. They had lost the traditions and knowledge of champions and draconic guardians. They had developed differently causing changes to their traditions and other aspects of their lives. Things must have also been more and more complicated as each dragon took the roles to defend elemental planes and more. It wasn't just that they had to change these things to support their new positions as defender, but also because they could not create solid villages. The shifting elemental planes stopped this potential almost entirely. "I think that there is a high chance we can bring the dragons closer together. We wouldn't stop the different dragons from meeting those of the world. The royal dragons have worked with us and are united within Genesis. We have even built their villages connecting to our main city. All races are welcome. Even those that once fought one another like the vampire race and the angel race." "Then as one who devours the very mana that makes life possible for my kind, I swear upon my mana. I will assist you of the world in acceptance that you will unite my elders with your fellow dragons of the world." The mana vibrated slightly at his words. Existence itself was holding such contracts. "I agree with you and swear on the world that I will make this promise true." The mana vibrated again as Walker felt that the manas around him connected to him in an odd way. He also saw the system notify him of a contract. He had never expected that this was possible. But with existence, apparently contracts could be made by swearing on mana itself. It was very good to know but also told Walker that he would be able to keep bonds and his words true. "Find the others nearby. We will be hunting." The light devouring dragon spoke to the light dragonoid. He would be gathering more of his soldiers to chase the undead. He had a very grand reason to do so now. Regardless of what they could learn right now, it could wait for what was truly important. …
