'Eternal Pyro giant

This is an ancient being that embodies the eternal flame. It is known as a burning skeleton to those who are not aware of the history and majesty of its being. While it eternally roams through all elemental planes, it is considered one of the key focal points for why the elemental planes are able to shift naturally without grand issues. In ancient times, there were multiple beings that gathered immense amounts of each elemental manas to create bodies for themselves. When the elemental wars began, they spent a hundred years sacrificing their manas and bodies to become skeletal beings with only the flow of the elemental planes as their focus. When they move in unison through all the elemental planes, the prompt rotation along with balance. They even cross through the central areas of each elemental plane without any ability to stop them. They will never rest and represent the eternal aspects of the mana they embody. While they do not speak, they have been known to transfer large amounts of information through the manas that they naturally radiate. Even when they are within the opposing mana that they do not represent, their mana will radiate powerfully as it will be unaffected. Many of the ancient rulers believe that they will one day slumber as they deserve, however, they will not since they have become the law of eternal mana. Proof that mana will always exist in some form no matter what. Their minds long ago transcended to another from above their physical forms…'

"Don't worry about them. They are just a part of the elemental planes. They are an eternal representation of each elemental mana. They are also the reason that the elemental planes started shifting the way that they did during the elemental wars when the world was cut off from the proper flow of everything. They aren't undead." The entire part was shocked that the massive figure moving through the light elemental plane had been traveling for thousands of years, if not long before that. These were beings that had moved well above what anyone could imagine. Even if Walker were to delve in to things, he was sure that he could spend a hundred lifetimes only scratching the surface. "So that's why it makes sense." Remey was flexing her hands while they had all stopped and stood in place watching the eternal pyro giant. Small sparks of flame moving around her hands the longer that she did. "What makes sense?" Midnight's innocent questions as what they were all thinking.e specially since Remey was completely broken away from what she had just been focusing on. Regardless of everyone being exposed to space mana enough to gain a spatial storage skill, it was more shocking that Remey had been able to stop thinking about that so quickly after they had all been assured that they were not fighting some massive fire undead. "The fire mana that I have. It's mixed with life mana so that's why I struggle so much. Just like the fire dominator dragons, the process mixed life mana and fire mana. That's how I became a dragon soul, because I mixed my body, soul, and fire mana entirely. I can separate it now after getting mana from that guy." "Excuse me!?" Walker was shocked that Remey had managed to make such a large revelation. "That means you won't be at risk if you run out of fire mana! Does that mean you could show others how to do that too?" from Su's point of view, there would be others in the future who became unique just like Remey. If they were the same as her and had mixed body, soul, and fire mana, or even a similar situation, Remey might be able to help them.

"No idea, but I can keep myself alive better. That's all that matters. I'll need to show Ignus when we see each other again." The amount of calm that Remey was, made them all feel a little put off since they were the ones that were surprised this time. But to be fair, walker did this to everyone else all the time. It was a fair chance for someone else to take their turn shocking the world. "I have some good news, the movements of the eternal pyro giant made the immortal king stop. If we move forward right now, wwe might cross an odd section of mixed manas, another boundary I'm sure, but we can face him." The flames immediately lit up around Remey as she heard Walker's mana sense was working perfectly. In another unified step, they moved across the light elemental plane. The white and golden light that radiated around made it feel like they were walking on polished mirrors. Or maybe they were just stepping through the most intricate marbles ever. Not that this was the only form of light. Different colorful hues radiated here and there. Straight and flowing lines that made up the many forms that light could take. Each becoming their own steps or solid spaces. The light elemental spirits made many of the colors their entire beings. Some were blue, while others were striking reds and greens. It was amazing to see that the forms of light mana were so intricate, but it made them all wonder how these spirits were accepting of the undead that might be nearby. They indeed were not pure. The light mana that many people used to purify undead should be a natural result. Or at least that was what Walker and everyone believed until they saw the skeletal figures ahead. A large cloaked shape sat upon a massive monster moving away. But behind it, several skeletons stood blocking the way of the party. Radiating a potent light mana, they were moving forward with clacking jaws. "Do not pursue me any longer. I will continue to create hordes to defend my research. I will find the key to all existence! Become a true immortal!" the immortal king's words drifted to their ears as he moved away at a much greater pace. Clearly he had managed to use some mana to speed his way, not to the level that Walker did though. "Damn it!" Gil's voice came out in a partial shout and growl. He was extremely angry seeing that the immortal king had taken the time to make messed up undead that somehow used light mana to attack them. 'Radiant skeletons n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

These are undead skeletons that had been forcefully fused with light mana. While this would be impossible, small amounts of starlight dove blood was used to ensure that this worked. It's a method of altering the undead that the immortal chasing race used in ancient times. While they are able to wield light mana, it is not for attacking purposes. It boosts their defenses and strength substantially. It also allows them to attack with greater force to the point that even if their bones break, they will repair themselves. Only major attacks can break through their regenerative properties.

If left alone long enough, they will either lose themselves to the light mana and degrade, or they may reclaim their minds due to the purification of whatever aspects of their souls may still be attached to their bones. This is an infantasmal potential though…'

The idea that these radiant skeletons might reclaim their minds made Walker apprehensive. These skeletons were experimented on and forced to remain behind as meat shields for the immortal king. Sued simply to buy him more time to keep experimenting and move toward the death mana that he could sense. Whoever, there was the tiniest of tiny chances that they might reclaim what they had once been. Even if they remembered the smallest thing and stopped being angry life attacking undead, that would be enough to give them a chance. It was like witnessing the worst possible situation with the greatest potential good. "Can you trap them?" Su wanted to know if this was a chance. She had heard what Walker said and was ready to accept whatever time it took to probably seal these undead. Even if they just stayed there until they degraded, they deserved a chance. As a hero, they all understood this. "We can, but I will need to make something out of the light mana to do it. That means if they do get intelligence back, they can escape." Walker knew this was risky since it took time. They had already lost sight of the immortal king and the massive undead he rode on. Not to mention the horde of skeletons and other zombie like undead with them. "Just do it already. This is the first undead that the immortal king is giving up. If it works, they can make their way back to Genesis and we can use that to free others left behind." Remey just focused on the positive as the flames around her remained aggressive. She had to accept the situation and focus on the right things.  …
