Master Of None

Chapter 1931 1931. Mixed Feelings

Walker found himself both amazed and confused. The sheer strength that he witnessed within the flames made him impressed. But the way that the two acted left him at a loss.

Remey had clearly been affected. She had something known as the true fire dragon blessed title. Remey had said that made her able to be recognized as a fire dragon but Walker was certain that it came with more. Being able to use certain skills or more. But he couldn't just ask them while they were in this state.

Then there was Ignus who had made to gain his own skills and a blessing from the original dragon. Things that shouldn't even be possible since there wasn't an original dragon anywhere that they knew of. It was an ancestry so far in the past that even understanding what they were like would be impossible.

This also brought his thoughts to Terron who would be trying to share these things as well. The knowledge that Terron had about the earth dominator dragon would be somewhat similar in a way. Therefore, he could share some enlightenment with Walker.

The real question was, how would he do that? There were already wyverns in Genesis and the wyvern queen was here for the shortest of times since she had to return to the wyverns mountains where they were creating a safe home. But that also meant that Terron might leave and return there since he was the one standing for the wyverns as they grew and learned.

This just left Walker more confused and wishing that he could just grab the information from here and there. It was annoying in a way. He always thirsted for more knowledge. It was just the way he had ended up since he knew very well that knowledge was the key to surviving in the world no matter where he was.

But that was that. He just had to sigh and keep moving forward. He could pursue some other topics that needed strengthening before they were to go after the corrupted floating city. He could check in on the corrupted monster bodies being brought in. learn a thing or two about purifying them. That seemed like a wise choice to make at the moment….

"True flame alchemy and true flame brawling?" Ignus eventually spoke out asking Remey what they were. He had not seen mentions of such things within the tablets that contained all the knowledge needed to take the necessary steps.

"They are skills I gained when the true flames begun creating a core within my heart. I can tell that they have done the same to you. We have matching cores." Remey and Ignus both spoke slowly and carefully. They were in a foggy daze as they slowly adapted to this odd state of theirs.

"True flame alchemy lets me freely call out pure flames and pure draconic flames to manipulate herbs and other things. Because it is close to the origin of flames, it acts similar to natural alchemy. I can not push myself and become a natural alchemist. But I can copy it in a way. That is what this path gave me."

"The flames can burn away impurities. Can pull out certain oils or parts of an herb. Then they can be used to properly bond them with other herbs all without needing a cauldron or anything to protect them. It even changes time and the way that the mana within the herbs flows. It means I am creating a new branch of pure fire and dragon fire alchemy. Two new things to learn and teach. I can even teach dragons."

Ignus felt that this was more amazing than he fully understood. The joy that he had was definitely due to the bonds he and Remey shared. "And the brawling? The true flame brawling?"

"That's easier. It's using fire to battle. I am completely immune to flames now. Just like you. We are part fire." Remey flexed her arm a little and flames grew from the runes on her body. They looked purer than what Ignus and she had used. Even the deeper red alchemy flames were weak compared to these.

"I can mimic dragon flames and make my fire scales. Just like you can. Then they can be used to replicate claws, jaws, even a tail. You shared all that with me. How to use claws, a tail, and jaws. I learned it all from you." Remey was honest and open with this. She had learned a great deal from Ignus's memories.

"Can you take a dragon form like me or Walker?" Ignus already felt that something like this might be possible. Remey had seen it all. Felt it all. If she copies the way that he took dragon form, who knew what would happen.

"I'm not sure. I still can't control the pure flames enough. My mana is not stored up yet. I don't understand how it changes and envelopes yet…" there was a slight annoyance in her tone that Ignus picked up on. He knew because he felt the same.

"And you? What do you learn?" Remey wanted to see Ignus in his flame dominator dragon form. However, she knew that wasn't possible or even close to being complete yet.

"I feel separated. Half of myself isn't accessible. I can still feel it changing though. It's in its own place. Growing and adapting. I felt this way when I was younger. But Thai is more powerful."

For Ignus, his real form was locked away. If he dared to use it, then he could risk himself a great deal. He would lose control of the pure flames changing his body. He would lose his mana flow.

According to what he had read and learned, Ignus knew that this could break his mind and kill him leaving behind a rogue dragon that only lived on instinct. A rogue dragon powerful enough to kill royal dragons… a danger he could not allow.

"I sense flames. But they aren't flames. It's mana. Fire mana changing and not being fire mana any longer. It might be true mana or other mamas. But I feel it clearer than ever before." There was a slight flash of mana in Ignus's eyes.

What he was saying was not a small thing. He had always felt the flow of fire mana since he started learning of it and how to gather it. Yet now, he understood that fire mana was just a form.

He could learn other forms of flames now. He could manipulate them and change them. He could even sniff them out and return fire to what it was before it was fire. The mana could be shaped and changes as needed. But he was too far from anything more than that.

The step to true fire was just that. A step. But the chasm that was from pure fire to true mana was bigger than anything he could comprehend. Therefore, he knew he had to remain on this path. Learn, adapt, and travel where he needed to get where he was not.

"We are both growing then. I am not sure I am human anymore." Remey was a little sad. She had always been human. Always been this way.

"I might not be a complete dragon either. There's more than what we know now."

The two looked at each other with a depth of understanding that almost no one would ever have for each other.

"A human life can be different than what I expected."

"A dragons life is longer and more frustrating than I thought it would be too."

Ignus and Remey didn't have to say more. They understood. They knew what the other had faced tk stand where they stood. To breath the same air as one another.

The pure flames revolving between them would continue to nourish them in This change. They would be able to keep growing and keep understanding their new skills. Time would let them grow now.

" the alchemical brawler blessed by pure flames and recognized as a dragon. That is a first."

"The royal fire dragon reclaiming the flame dominator dragon ways and binding with a human. That is a first."

The two seems like they would get in to their own fight. Instead, they just continued their mana gathering peacefully. They had what they needed and knew where to go.

Paths they walked would be recorded in history with greater words than they knew. They had stepped in to the unknown even more than the spatial magic studies that were focused all through Genesis right now.

When people looked back, they would see more than a hero and royal dragon. What they saw though, might not be what everyone expected to see. Not that it was an issue if they were surprised.
