And if you dare cause more damage to this island and the people I protect…" Walker stepped away while the fire mana around him increased with his will. He was making a point.
The fact that Midnight had kept her calm while not showing her proper dragon form was impressive. Walker was proud of her for keeping her true strength hidden.
It was important when dealing with a powerful enemy. Not that they wouldn't have been able to deal with the impure ice demon.
She could have beaten it without her proper dragon form.
Redgarless, Walker kept his mana senses focused on the woman that had appeared.
She was a pure cie demon. Someone that was from the depths of the water elements planes and definitely stronger than the impure ice demon that had arrived in search of strength.
From what Walker could sense, she was calm. Not a single bit of her dense water mana was out of her control.
Not only did that show off her mental strength, but also showed off the fact that she could easily put up a decent fight if forced to.Right now though, she was mourning.
Walker could tell. He could somewhat feel it.
He had heard what she said. That was her child.
The impure cie demon was a pure ice demon that had failed in the goal to get stronger. Had lost his mind and fallen to become a monster that can not be.
Therefore, his own mother had hunted him down all the way through the bridge to the world and the elemental planes.
The ice was receding now that there was control over the water mana in the air.
Plus, Walker was using his control over fire mana to ensure that small balls of fire floated around. He didn't use anything but his mana and the air as fuel.
Meaning that he would have to remain a lot more focused to ensure that every bit of ice was melted without damaging anyone or anything.
Not that Remey ahdn't also started using some of her flames.
She was making sure to keep them as delicate and weak flames due to her high level of control. She couldn't make balls of fire that floated around her, but she could walk through an area and warm it completely.
Since Re,ey also had alchemy flames at her control, she was refining some weaker healing potions right then and there in her hands. This stunned many of the children who had not seen a sight like this.
It cemented her stature as a hero but also kept them from being panicked or afraid.
With her newfound fame, Remey was right in to the same attitude as she had when she saw her younger siblings form the orphanage.
The noise and following around was soon to follow as a few parents wondered if they had just been near freezing and terror a moment ago.
Since Walker had quickly sent the orders to return to a calm state and that there would be an explanation in a short time, the soldiers were left to handle the after effects of the sudden freezing event.
Meanwhile, the pure ice demon came to finish her resting while mourning the loss of her child and stood waiting for Walker to return. Her eyes were solid blue like a deep glacier in a tundra, but behind them, Walker could sense that she was prepared to hear what consequences come with this.
She had sensed his deeper control over mana and even though her race was isolated, she had heard the ripples of warnings from the true sages. The true water sage had met with the true earth sage leaving a grand message to every one of the large elemental plains.
The result was a warning not to venture across the bridges if they wanted to live in balance.
A threat that meant crossing the bridge could lead to both death for the one crossing but also an imbalance in the elemental planes as a whole.
While that threat was clear because she could sense the weakness in the mana around her, she also understood that this was not the reason there would be imbalance.
It was the person she saw before her.
If this person were to control the mana within the elemental planes with the same force as the flames she saw floating in the air being fueled by wind mana too, then it was a surety that her entire race could be on the verge of disaster.
"This is not a place for those of the elemental planes to travel to yet.
There is not enough mana to keep all of you alive as the world and the elemental planes are still balancing. I have also not returned to the elemental planes to make deals with the elemental kings and the sages yet.
So, why is it that your impure ice demon was able to escape here?"
"It was an unforeseen event. The true water sage announced we must avoid the bridge due to the risks of imbalancing everything.
Unfortunately, as the bridge appeared near our homes, some believed they could use it to become as powerful as the sages. Some began foolishly gathering too much mana and lost their minds.
"
"We hunted them as our balance requires us to. I am willing to accept punishment on behalf of my people.
I understand we have angered your people as well."
"You'll take punishment? That's fine then.
Can you represent all your people?" Walker did not withhold his piercing gaze. He had to act the part that he had created for himself.
He was a leader og Genesis. A founder.
He could not sound weak and pathetic. Especially to the powerful beings that come from the elemental planes.
Even if they were too unstable to live within the world for a long time, they would surely not remain that way. Just like this pure ice demon, there may be others that can handle their mana well enough to come here.
And they might have higher strength than what Walker expects. Especially the dragons that might come looking for the royal dragons living in the world.
There are plenty of races that may or may not wish to come here, whether it is for their history or just for power. Who would now? But Walker understood the risk clearly.
"I am the current strongest warrior of my people. I am the glacial lancer Aie.
"
"Then that means you will be the first to have a chance at joining the Genesis Alliance." she dropped her jaw breaking the steely appearance she had kept since she had arrived.
"What? You saw your people's mistakes and chased them down. The sages didn't tell you you would get killed if you came here, did they?" Walker was joking but saw that her face looked somewhat relieved but also afraid.
"They did!?" He knew that this sort of fear was a great deterrent for many, but still, that was pushing it. fгeewebnovёl.

"If you had come here to kill and attack my people, yes, I would not hold back. But you fixed your mistake, everyone injured is being healed, and no one died which is a blessing for you since I would have expected a lot more to apologize for that.
"
Thinking for a moment Walker realized an issue, "you won't be able to get back to your people if you stay here alone for long. Getting you back to the water elemental planes would be more challenging.
How many of you are there?"
"We have fifteen remaining in my village after the rebellion against our laws to avoid the
Bridge."
"That's easy then, bring them here and I will introduce all of you to Genesis. If everyone is like you and doesn't need ambient mana to survive, then we are fine. Unlike some races who need the mana dense elemental planes, you should be able to survive here just fine."
"Power is tempting, I know that, we will introduce you to other demons too, you are not the only kind of demon there is.
Many of them live in the city we built after saving them from a poor man gone mad with grief." completely lost, Aie wondered what was happening.
Nothing she had lived through had prepared her for this. She had even gone toe to toe in battle with a broken tundra dragon who had lost their lineage due to their own greed.
Yet here she was in front of some strange person with strength she could not comprehend.
"If you are in need of a way to get them to come here, tell them it's an order from a young origin race being.
That's what I am after all." her face went somewhat white compared to the deep blue it had just been before she bowed and rushed to bring her people.
"This should be a good start."
