Chapter 2135 2135. Boundaries


    "I Can''t keep track of how much the wind mana is changing around us. Walker, the mana that is making up the bridge shifts over and over." Gil had managed to catch on to the fact that the bridge they walked on was less solid than what it appeared. While the bridge seemed to be solid and looked like a bridge to the party, they all had begun to realIze that they were not seeing the same things. Su had mentioned that the bridge had a solid white color in her eyes. But that was most likely the fact that she spent a lot of time around light mana. Since she had gained the bond with Midnight and epted the dragon aspect of who she was, Su had limated to all manas. But because she had trained with healers and Rise, she had gained a better understanding of light mana. Remey saw the bridge as a deep crimson red, like the mes she used in alchemy to purify the more difficult herbs of impurities. Gil of a light green wind color which was simr to many birds that had higher wind affinities. Midnight and Onyx didn''t say much, but they clearly saw different things because they were constantly looking at the dense mana that made the bridge up with curiosity. Walker could also sense their awe. "I think the mana is bnced but always flowing. The mana pulses slightly when I focus on it and I see the different manas mixing within it. But the outer edges are always the most condensed manas which allow us to follow it. Like, we aren''t actually walking on it, you know?" Walker had a hard time sharing what he could sense. The manas were flowing from the elemental nes and to the world, then back. Like two people passing the manas back and forth constantly in a game of catch. That passing action bnced the bridge and allowed it to form a proactiveyer defending from the chaotic manas that were all around it. Like a tunnel without solid walls. More alike to a magic barrier than anything. The bridge was sealed within itself. But when it came to them walking on it, Walker sensed that the bridge was not actually t or straight. More like it was pulling them along toward their destination rather than them walking along it. The mana was a flowing thing, therefore, they were now flowing on top of the mana to get to the ce that they needed to be. "I get it, we are moving on an isted stream toward the ocean." Remey likened this to when they were on the ships. They had to make it through the river to get to the ocean. But the oceans were the elemental nes. And the stream of mana that they were taking also went against gravity. Bringing them up mountains and even in to the air. As she described her interpretation, Walker felt that they should write it down as a theory for researchers to follow. Everything that she interpreted made him feel that she was correct. It was simply the slightly child like exnation that made it all work. This came from years of living in the orphanage and teaching the youngest of her siblings at times. Simple education was best for some parts of life. "I wonder why we can''t see anything in the distance either? is it because it''s like a space teleportation rune formation?" Onyx came out of nowhere with the perfect exnation of why they most likely could only see the vast expanse of shing manas colliding around them. The chaotic area outside of the bridge was most likely cut off from them by space mana as well as some other more mysterious forces within mana. It actually made a lot more sense to think this way since the bridge also didn''t make sense in general. "Since the bridge seemed to make some sort of portal in the air without actually being seen from the back, I would say that''s exactly what it is. The runes that formed in the air were all made in space itself, not out of manas that we could sense right away. So the elemental manas must work together with space." Walker felt confident as he spoke. Something within him told him this was right. "Even time might not be affected. I feel like we should be moving at the same time as the world is too. Like time is bnced from the center out maybe?" This feeling was different for Walker. It felt off but not because he was wrong, but because he didn''t understand it himself at all. "Brother, don''t try too hard!" Midnight offered Walker some support, but before she could lean on him to show himfort, the sudden heat that hit them made everyone freeze. They were no longer on the bridge surrounded by shing stars of mana colliding, nor darkness hiding the chaos of manas. Walker took a chance and used the all around appraisal to take a look at where they were. ''Boundary of fire and earth


    This is the boundary between the earth elemental ne, an expanse of stone, earth, and mountains. And the fire elemental ne, an expanse of magma,va, and a sea of mes. The areas where the elemental nes collide and the manas are forced to fuse together are called boundaries. This is because they are the mes where the beings within the elemental nes will often sh or avoid depending on their strength. The intense earth and fire manabining to create theva flow steps and the scorched earth along the boundary will make any being with dual affinities gain natural enlightenment of the elemental manas. However, this is only for those that require the basic growth necessary for their race. There is a very dangerous risk of living within this area due to the chaotic appearance of fire and earth pure manas shing before they meld together naturally…''


    There was more information about the uniqueness that appeared here. But Walker was more amazed that the manas had be so dense that they were purely making up thends here in various forms. The fire elemental ne was intense. In the center was a literal sea of mes ording to the all around appraisal. A ce where the earth mana was pushed back leaving only pure fire mana and only that. The very same with the earth elemental panes bing mountains with only earth mana and that was it. An astounding idea that mana had be so dense and pure that it formed everything. But wasn''t the world that way? it was just more spread out and bnced. Therefore, someone couldn''t break things down in to just the manas without extreme force which would be akin to a god if anything. Regardless of that, Walker had more of an idea of how everything came to be. How the elemental nes that surrounded the world might have been the bnce that has magicallye together with the will of existence to be the world. To be that center point. But as the manas began to flow toward the world, the world would be more involved. Would have denser mana overall. That could change things, not that it would happen soon. It would most likely take a hundred years, if not more.


    "This reminds me of the deserts and the volcano areas. But if they were smashed together." Remeyu pointed out the areas that looked likeva had cooled and where the earth appeared to have melted slightly. Even some stones were scorched ck by mes. "That''s exactly what the elemental nes are. ces where the manas are so powerful and dense that they became thend themselves. Regardless of what this means at a deeper level, we have to figure out where the immortal king went. I have a feeling that tracking anything will be nearly impossible. We should find beings that understand the elemental nes. Or this boundary between them. Just as Walker spoke again, he realized that his mana sense was hard to understand. He was literally overloaded with the density of mana that he had to focus greatly to grasp the deep changes within the earth and fire manas around them. ''Scorched roc


    This is a being that is perfectly bnced between earth and fire mana. While some species of roc are mostmonly food within mountains, this is one that was limated to the intense heat within the boundary of earth and fire. As a scorched roc, it is able to manipte molten stones while using the fire mana to fly through the air. The strength of its bodyes from the rocky feathers that are smoldering with intense fire mana within. They are also the best defined and a greater offense when fighting other monsters. They are often intelligent enough to hunt along the boundary of earth and fire. They will rarely attack anything that they feel is too powerfulpared to them. But they are known for attacking things they are curious about to test them out…'' n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
