Chapter 1901 1901. Lots Of Runes



"You have thrown the same paper away six times. What was wrong this time?" Walker looked up for a split second before starting again. This time, he was carving directly on to the arrow. 

"It was perfect. I just needed to feel how it flowed with mana first. I can\'t make the space mana move the way i want. I can\'t understand it yet. But I can feel better how it is interacting with all the other manas. When that happens, I can tell if this shape, formation, and even the mana flow is right." 

The number of times that Walker had sensed issues was too high. He could feel the lines stopping the way that mana should flow. Understanding that all manas would unite in to one form was a major improvement for him. Especially since he also understood that this was the very reason that the runes were able to work in the first place. 

The other benefit to sensing that all the manas could come together was the fact that he began to feel how they all interact with the spatial mana that he was attempting to manipulate. Even without their interactions, he was still at a loss though. The spatial mana was stubborn. Or at least that was how Walker interpreted it. 

He could not force space to do anything with his miniscule understanding, but he could make other elemental manas push and pull the spatial mana knowing that it would react when he added the manas to it. Especially when he added the elemental runes that would constantly regulate it. 

Before ling, the arrow was carved and had multiple runes carved around it. The elemental runes were attracting elemental manas but holding those manas within them. The flow of those elemental manas met the life mana runes that Walker had seen the life mages use. 

These runes brought together the elemental manas much better and surprisingly facilitated the mixing and unmixing of natural mana. A surprise that Walker took an important note of since he could use it. 

Simply knowing that the life runes were valuable to helping create natural mana would be able to help Walker in the long run. The eternal orb was his specially made equipment. It could alter its form based on what Walker needed it to do. It adapted just like him. But what if Walker were to find a good material and carve some life rune sin to it? What if he looked even further? 

The chances that the eternal orb could become stronger meant that Walker might be able to use it with more bonuses. Armor or weapon forms that he would be able to use with other manas other than just natural or elemental. Or he could even use it as a focal point to be able to manipulate harder to control manas. 

The real challenge was one day making it able to house all forms of mana to unite in to true mana that Walker was now aware of. Even though Walker had no ability to control true mana in a real form, he was sure that when he had learned sufficient knowledge about death, life, time, space, life, and whatever other manas came to be seen, then he would be able to control true mana. 

Walker looked at the rune formation as a whole and looked carefully at the flowing designs. He saw the broken space rune was nothing like it had been before. It appeared to be completed in this balance of elemental manas. The life runes working perfectly to make up for the parts and formations that the broken space rune had been missing. 

\'Elemental space rune formation

The balance of life, elemental, and spatial manas were perfectly reached within this rune formation. Therefore, it will not tear apart any living items or shorten their lifespan. This rune formation can perfectly teleport an item, being, or other things based on the manas used. 

The activation of this rune formation requires life mana from a living being. It can not be done with mana crystals of any form. An adequate amount of mana is needed based on the things being teleported. It must be matched in formation with the place that the teleportation is desired to go. If not, the teleportation will fail and the mana will escape in a violent manner. 

This rune formation requires heavy upkeep due to the stress on it. Until the improvement of the space rune in the center, there will be a massive degradation when the rune formation is made. This will require multiple rune carvers to repair and improve the formation every single time it is used. 

The usage of this rune formation is limited due to mana and strength. It is the first revitalization of rune formation teleportation since ancient times. This is capable of teleporting long distances which is more than many spatial related uses are capable of. This may expand after improvements…\'

The words seemed to go on forever as Walker looked at the runes. He also felt that there was more to learn if he tried to carve it again. He could easily fall down the rabbit hole of constant improvement. All he had to do was start carving again. But he had to stop. 

After using a lot of his mental strength, Walker stood up and stepped back. The rune glowing on the arrow was enough to be certain of the balance. But he still used his all around appraisal on the arrow as a whole. 

\'Spatial arrow. 

This arrow can teleport when life mana is added to it. This life mana can be added mixed with whatever mana is within a being. When activated, the elemental space rune formation will cause the arrow to teleport directly in front of the matching formation. If it strikes a target, they will suffer the slight magical damage of extra elemental manas but mostly suffer physical damage equal to the force of the arrow when teleported. 

This rune formation will cause the arrow to shatter after use. The materials the arrow is made of are too weak to hold the great power of the spatial mana that would dwell within the arrow due to the spatial rune on it as the core of the formation. This can be improved with better materials.\'

Walker noticed that the arrow was the weak point here. But that was fine. He expected such a  thing since the rune formation was literally carved in to the arrow and would next be carved in to literally stone and elemental materials to teleport people or items. It would never be carved directly on to a person again. Especially if it would cause them harm. 

It might be something to think about when he understood spatial mana much, MUCH, more. But that day was not today and he would not have to worry about anything related to that for now. He just had to get the same rune formation on the target and then let Gil fire the arrow. This was going to be the first working tests of a possible teleportation rune formation. 

Everyone around seemed to sense the anticipation. It wasn\'t just Ezra shouting and rambling on as his guard brought him toward the straw target they were using. It was also the fact that the manas attracted to the elemental space rune formation was causing things to feel different. 

The mages were the ones that sensed this greater than others. But the angels were naturally sensitive to elemental manas because they were able to absorb it through their wings to use for themselves. That meant that every angel with matching affinities to the manas being drawn in by the runes sensed a change and came to look. 

This even drew the two grand pure angels that had been representing both empires. They had come because they sensed the changes in the manas due to the formations. However, they had also had their angels watching the happenings of experimentations. As soon as they got word that something might be successful. They had come. 

This wasn\'t because they feared Genesis, but because they could feel the growing tension due to the corruption of their ancient floating city. They could sense that things were off. It was an instinct that was brought by corrupted mana just existing in greater strength. Even with that floating city moving away slowly, they could feel it. 

But for the moment, the focus had turned to Gil who was drawing back the first spatial arrow that everyone had ever seen in their lives. Now they just had to see if it worked. What the results would be. And what they could do next.
