Chapter 2162 2162. One Day



It was only a few moments for everyone to catch their breath and get back to focus, but they all had their eyes on the poison dragon watching them from the poison elemental plane. It had retreated significantly, but it did not trust them. They had come close to its territory. Had been fighting too.

"It\'s a prisoner of the light elemental plane right now. Apparently a stronger Origin Race being brought the poison elemental plane here since that poison dragon can take control of it one day. Or at least that\'s what I gathered from the light king\'s words."

This was a lot to unpack for the party. They had understood to some degree what they had heard.. But it had been hard to comprehend since the light mana had surged so much at one time. It overwhelmed their senses. But Walker had heard it clearly and underwood it all.

"I think that this is why the elemental planes are so large and shifting. The way that their manas come together is always changing, but outside of all this there must be chaos. We know that. So it makes sense that to stabilize the elemental planes without balance, something has to be done."

"You\'re saying that once a plane has a king, it becomes more permanent? So that poison dragon will be a ruler. And that lightning elemental plane was a boundary that will disappear." From what gil could see, this had to be the case.

"I would say you\'re right." Even though Walker was sure that they could take years to properly understand what all this meant, Gil summed it up enough that it could rest as it was in their minds.

"I\'m fine with all that, but if we have to worry about walking in to territories and planes that are prisons, I want to know about it first."

"I agree with Remey. It\'s safer for us to have a better understanding of where we might cross in to. We can not defeat that poison dragon as it is now. Even if we defeated it, we would perish afterwards due to the poisons it can not properly control." Since Su had sensed the dangers, she knew well what could happen.

The chances of dying from the different elemental planes trapped as prisons so that they could grow properly was high. She had sensed that the poison dragon had little control over its own strength because it lacked the mentality to learn about its own strength right this moment. Therefore, that was the reason it needed time to grow.

Regardless of that though, Su also understood that they would need to adapt better so that they could handle these dangers. It was Walker taking the majority of growth right now. Partially because of his natural race being the origin race now, but also because of his adaptable mind.

It wasn\'t that Walker had gained the jack of all trades system at first because he had tried so much, it was because he could adapt himself to learning and trying so much in the first place. Now that he had the jack of all trades class, it was even more evident to her. The theory that Walker had this because his mind and soul were flexible enough to accept completely unique situations as his reality. To evolve himself to survive them. To make those situations his.

"Brother, we need to gain more mana. I am going to sleep on your shoulders while we move." Onyx had caught a hold of what Su was thinking. Remey also had an inkling of the situation. She had learned better control of fire and even made a new method of using her alchemy flames in the last battle. She couldn\'t just pretend that didn\'t happen. It was why she was getting stronger. Besides the pure fire elemental mana her body was gaining by being within the elemental planes.

"Midnight, you shouldn\'t get too close!" Gil\'s shout stopped the party from thinking for the moment. Midnight had walked right to the edge of the light elemental plane and stopped before the harsh boundary that the light held back. The poison elemental plane was right there when she could step in to without much more effort. The poison dragon stepped forward, it raised its lips and showed its teeth. Yet, Midnight did not show aggression. She stood staring it right in the eye. Their ages were radically different. Their species of dragon also very different. This poison dragon was not a true dragon. It was not able to boast that right now. When Midnight lifted her claw and cut off a scale, Walker was about to leap in front of her, but Su was there holding him back. Something in her had told her to allow this. To hold Walker back right now. That there was no danger that Midnight could not handle here.

"Not alone."

In draconic, Midnight expressed this as she set the single scale down. While she had harmed herself, Walker could feel what she did. Their bond was strong enough to portray emotions clearly.

When she saw the imprisoned poison dragon, she did not see a monster trying to be a proper dragon. She saw a young and weak hatchling left to grow alone without a single bit of guidance.

As such, she reached out.

When Midnight had learned from Ventus, she had heard the story of how her children were born. All two of them. That raised the question of the third wind dragon she called her child.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She learned that Ventus had taken in her sister\'s child after her sister failed to break through to become a stronger wind dragon and perished. When her sister lost control of her own wind mana, had killed her. Ventus had found the egg left behind and gave it her blood, allowed it to hatch sooner and grown as a sibling of her two children.

Midnight could stand as a dragon above all others. A true dragon champion capable of growing a lifespan of thousands of years. Even beyond that with her bonds to Walker and the others. Therefore, she would offer a path to take to join other dragons.

Her scale was a symbol and a clear proof that no matter the time it takes, the plain dragon can see others of this kind. Once it finishes with its journey.

While Midnight retreated to the party for them all to leave in pursuit of the immortal king, the poison dragon looked on. It smelled the dragon scale left behind, it sensed a resonance in blood. It lowered its curled lips and roared once, not an angry or territorial roar. One of acknowledgment.

"Good choice!" Walker smiled as he gave Midnight a soft pat on her head. He was proud of her and the way she thought. She was a hero too, she proved that every day.

With their focus on absorbing mana, the rest of the party allowed Walker to manipulate the manas around them. He had the skills to do so along with the focus. Especially since Fleur was pulling even more mana towards him as help. She knew that they would be using more and more the deeper in the elemental planes they got.

While Walker used the spatial and light mana to move, many more events were unfolding within the world. Ignus had just finished burning through a massive undead that had broken through the floor of what had once been the tower trapping the immortal king.

Even though they had destroyed the body and what else remained from the immortal kings\' control, they had found more and more.

The soldiers that joined them had found thousands of pathways going deeper below the undead city. Not just crypts but entire floors of skeleton made caverns.

The experimental rooms full of experimental undead were left behind as objects without value to the immortal king.

Just because he did not see value in them did not mean that they were weak or worthless. The undead below had still been moving without someone to keep them in line. Some had even begun to go berserk since they were undead that still felt pain. And others... had given in to their insanity.

"That large thing is being appraised right now, Lord Ignus, we will have it in a moment." the dragonkin reporting to Ignus who had just taken down three suffering zombies wondered just how much worse this would get.

They had all joined together to defeat the tough body of the immortal king. That body had been attacking based on instincts and general strength since it had been made strong by the immortal king to resist so much. However, they were now dealing with worse.

The reason that the undead city was going to remain the undead city wasn\'t only because of the land being steeped in death for so long. It was also due to the hundreds of years of experiments left below the ground.
