Master Of None

Chapter 2176. Dragon Hierarchy

"You have never seen one of these monsters before. However, you were capable of healing it?" the light devouring dragon clearly had some issues with what he had seen. It didn't make any sense. These people from the world had appeared with skills that did not fit the normal events of what someone would go through within the elemental planes. Even on top of that, they were growing stronger at a faster rate than what he had ever seen. Plus, he had just witnessed them heal a monster that they had never seen before. Nowt many could do this, even the sages had very limited abilities to heal. Therefore, it was a surprising fact that the party before him had managed to heal incredibly severe damage done by an undead. "No I haven't. I used life mana that reside within every living being. Even undead have a little life mana, not that they really use it. The life mana knows how healing works, it's different within everyone. So, using life mana as a way to direct healing skills makes them work much better. That's why the shadow string tarantula absorbed the dark mana from Onyx so quickly, the life mana was drawing it in."

"Life mana is very rare. The life mana plane does not normally appear within the flow. It is somewhat hard to grasp. You may walk through it and never know the difference. Even those that swear they have witnessed it struggle to comprehend or explain it." The light devouring dragon wasn't saying that it didn't exist, just that it was hard to explain. It all made some sense though, the life and death planes would be larger and more mysterious. It was the same for the space elemental plane that the group had already seen. Since it was a larger mana which had a lot more unique aspects than the average elemental mana, then it would clearly be harder for those focused solely on elemental manas to comprehend or use. "It's hard to show off, but I was able to fully incorporate all that I am made of because I used the life mana within me to bring it all together. That's why I wasn't just a human with multiple manas and races mixing inside me because of the bonds I hold. I was able to bring them together and step beyond what I was." Now that was even more shocking. To the light devouring dragon, it told him that others coil become origin beings if they followed the path that walker took. However, he realized that something like that could have created a monster without equal instead. To be fair, Walker also understood it and did not speak more about this topic. If someone were to foolishly try to do what he had done without every single experience he had had aligning properly, then the limits of what they could become otherwise were too high to count. So much so that he wondered if this might happen one day just based on people following the stories of his journeys. "Oh, and for a life elemental plane, you don't need to worry. I can sense life mana mixed in everywhere. I would say that life spans over everything that has to do with elemental planes. Even if it's the tiniest amount, it is still there. Other manas do that too, it just wasn't so small that it is hidden behind everything so well. But without it, there wouldn't be living beings like you in the light elemental plane, right?" Walker started to move on as he sensed that some of the light dragonoids took positions to defend the shadow string tarantula. Its eyes had opened and shown a small glint that Walker could equate to thankfulness. It was not an unintelligent monster. It was not at the level of other races, but it had an understanding of survival. These beings had come and saved it from certain death. As such, it memorized their faces so that it could properly follow them. Walker somewhat understood that too. He could just feel it and was thinking that having it as a defender of the world might be a good thing. There would surely be some troublesome beings that made their way toward the bridges between the world and the elemental planes. Having someone there to defend them would make everyone more relaxed. Especially since balance was so very important right now. Traces of the immortal king were all around this strange area between elemental planes. The mixed boundaries also had evidence of defeated monsters, broken elemental planes, and some signs that others were patrolling this area. When it came to the defeated monsters, they were just remnants from elemental planes or other monster's hunts. It was normal that some of the bodies would be left behind because they could not be eaten and would have to degrade naturally. The ones that had broken bones around them were ones that the immortal king had killed. The remnants of broken elemental planes were interesting though. Dried herbs that had grown from fire elemental manas before they had lost that source were scattered here and there. Remey gathered them and found that some had root balls or seeds which could be saved. If she brought them back, they would be entirely unique herbs that no one had ever seen. These signs were untouched because they had been left behind after an elemental plane was absorbed by another or drifted away in an unbalanced manner. Since these herbs and other aspects were left behind, they would have slowly died and gone untouched. Therefore, when they were broken in certain places, Gil could track them. The signs that others were patrolling came from the light devouring dragon pointing them out. He mentioned certain runes nearby the sealed elemental planes that the party passed by. They had been left as signs that a certain set of dragonoids or devouring dragons were responsible to check up on them. As such, Walker began to learn of the hierarchy in the dragons of the elemental planes. The devouring dragons led dragonoids. They were able to travel with them and aborbs greater amounts if elemental mana to use the very mana around them constantly. But without those elemental manas, they were on a short leash. If they lost their affinity elemental mana, then they would weaken slowly but surely until they could not sustain their own life. The dominator dragons were different. Because they could condense and purify elemental manas within them, they were considered purer dragons overall. Able to lead entire groups of devouring dragons even though they were not as quick with magic as devouring dragons. But their physical might could greatly influence the elemental planes if they desired. Beyond that, a dominator dragon could directly assist a king within their territory. They had the purer eternal mana to lend to keep balance or to ensure that certain anchors remained within the plane. Therefore, they often lived a stationary life where they moved within the plane matching the shifting. The devouring dragons were more free than that. They could travel without being held down. "I think the death elemental plane would be the same. Stretched everywhere and always around. But I would think that it would gather in certain places where life and death manas are denser. That's how undead elemental planes might come to be. So the immortal king will have to both accept death and life mana together if he wants more power." When Walker said this, everyone seemed to fall in to deep contemplation.

The immortal king was an undead. He was not dead entirely and had been a member of an entire race that searched for immortality. However, how would he survive if he didn't have some life? Could a being even exist if that was the case? "No, there are those that exist with just those manas. Spirits do, so a being that exists with just death would not be impossible. They would just not be understood by us or any others. The same for space, time, and life." The light devouring dragon stated this as fact. Proving that he most likely had heard of such things. Or that by living within the elemental planes he had begun to understand that all existences could somehow thrive but with unique concepts that he might not even be able to fathom. "You're right, I forgot that I have met death spirits before. They were mysterious and I could barely sense them. But they do exist." Walker nodded in appreciation. He was sure that all this knowledge could continue to change how he thought. It could alter his perception of everything. "Then we would need to worry about an undead pane first. Because that's where the immortal king might be the strongest right now." Su held her shield preparing for any larger undead that could be sent towards them.
