Master Of None

Chapter 2141  2141. Unique Earth

All of this was astounding to the true earth sage. There was a race of those that were known among the elemental planes as those that could shape the planes. That could alter anything and everything. That literally searched for the secrets of existence. Then there was a being here that would be able to match the dominator and devourer dragons. One that stood between them as the most powerful form that they could take where their body and soul were completely unified. It was a form that was thought of as the pinnacle of dragon kind. Yet here was someone who was not a dragon that had become that? It didn't make sense. This was all too much. The world had to be some spectacular place during all this time. Whatever had caused all this to be isolated and all that to be blocked off from the elemental planes had been some spectacular blessing. The sheer number of things that could be within the world that outside the expectations he had were just unfathomable. What the true earth sage wanted to do was immediately explore it all. The researcher's mindset was pushing him to ask more questions. Unfortunately, the party was stuck on a few different things. "What's a devourer dragon by the way? Never heard of that. But a few dominator dragons took their places in the world.w e helped them find the hidden legacies they needed. They'll come here eventually too." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Remey stunned the true earth sage yet again. She had just said that a dominator dragon was able to form without the elemental planes being connected to the world at all. "The dominator dragons all speak about finding their bonds they have with the elemental planes. They should be unable to grow to that form without the true and pure manas of the elemental planes. It shouldn't be possible."

The true earth sage's high pitched voice now that he had become exasperated made Walker and the others feel a little bad.

"We are pretty used to this sort of thing. A lot of random things happen that do not make sense. You would not be able to handle a lot of them. But you will catch on that more and more will happen the longer you are around us. I thought it was only Walker when we first started, but it's all of us. Even some of our family and friends are doing crazy things that make events happen we can't ever predict." Gil felt for the true earth sage. This was a man who had been part of the immortal chasing race. Was not trusted because he focused on the earth mana and not immortality. Naturally, it was funny that he had gained a form of immortality by becoming one with the purest principles of earth mana itself. Regardless, he was now seeing things that made no sense. This was what anyone would expect from being told about so much. "We can try to tell you more as we go. But we need to see the earth king you and the earth spirit mentioned. There are a lot of things we need help with. Especially with hunting right now. We can talk about visitors from the world and the elemental planes going across the bridge later." Walker took things back to the true focus here. Su nodded along with him so that it made the true earth sage more comfortable with this singular focus. Having their minds linked on this topic would be easier than getting distracted by so much. "Brother, I will learn to be better here too." Onyx slithered around to take Walker's shoulders as his spot for now. He was sure that they were about to move very fast and he didn't want to fall behind. Just a feeling. He would bide his time until he could explore more in these elemental planes. "Onyx, we will be fine. We are probably going to walk there." Walker did his best to reassure Onyx that nothing weird would happen. "No, I will just move us on the earth." the ground shifted as the entirety of the ground heaved. They were all being moved on a platform of denser earth. "This is all a part of my body as well." The true earth sage had a much larger form than he had shown. The size would equal a small mountain. "When I lost my form, I struggled to create another. Until I realized that there is no set form for earth mana. It takes the forms we see here. We see a lot of different fusions and methods for the earth to change, how the mana can flow and alter itself constantly. So, my pure earth mana can change the way I make my body." The true earth sage clearly enjoyed this little informational lesson. "And dragon soul, the devourer dragon is a similar form of dominator dragon. However, they consume the mana around them to sue where the dominator dragon's control and refine it. One uses the mana around them and the other that they gather within them."

"The devourer dragons will remain in dense mana areas and their form changes to suit absorbing large amounts of mana that they process through their bodies. They are often slim and very quick. The dominator dragons are larger and slower, but can create massive amounts of power. They are harder to fight."

"So you have fought dragons since you have been here?" Midnight perked up as she finally asked her own question. She didn't see any reason to avoid something like this. In her mind, she would have to fight many dragons here so that they knew of her strength. She was very young and even the elder dragons of the world would look down on her if they didn't know how strong she was. It was all due to her age. They could easily confuse her for being weaker and being younger in general. That Was just the facts of life. Someone young would often be accidentally interpreted as not being as powerful compared to someone older and fully developed. Just a fact of life. But Midnight was able to use strength well above them because of her elemental affinities. Beyond that, she had also trained and fought institutions that had toughened her well above any standard for a dragon her age. That aside, the bond with Walker had greatly built her a foundation that could not be properly comprehended. She even had some attachment to death mana due to the folly of the immortal king. Hence why she and Walker had been able to awaken certain skills within her. Mostly, she had the skeletal armor skill which wouldn't be something a dragon her age would have. Nor a dragon that didn't ignore the other dragons would have. They would normally have to be a rogue darkness dragon that became a skeletal or otherwise dragon. Remey was in deeper thought because she had not expected that she would learn of a different form of dragon. But the records that the royal dragons had found never mentioned that. Hence it was a form of dragon that had to be unique to the elemental planes. A place so dense with elemental manas in purer states that they had the ability to take the devour dragon forms. While it was nice that they would be faster in this form, they sound like they were not acclimated to battle. More like they were able to work with the environments they were in to alter them. More like a dragon that would stay in the back and help the dominator dragons to condense mana…

That thought trailed off as a massive mountain came in to view. It stretched well in to what the party thought of as the sky. So far that the end would be impossible to tell. Shifting stones and other aspects of the rocks nearby were monsters that lived within the elemental planes. Walker couldn't keep track of how many different ones there were. He would have to use the all around appraisal and think back later about the answers. The oppressive force that they all felt, however, was growing. The dense earth mana which was reaching a density that was literally forcing other aspects of the earth and stone to change had been radiated toward them. "Don't worry. The king just senses me coming. I have some relationship due to my uniqueness. I am made of unique earth mana because of how I changed myself. But I can not be asking because I do not embody what earth truly means as a law. The rules of existence itself. I can not embody something so grand. I can only be me." Nothing of that made sense, but Walker felt that he could explore that. Learn about that. The more time he had the better. He could learn laws of existence if he so desired. They were all within his grasp with time. He could sense it in himself.  …
