Master Of None

Chapter 1935 1935. Nature Dominator

The way that Terron was speaking made Walker feel as if he was the one being told how to walk his own path. Not that this was the goal of the dragons that they had lost vto history. However, Walker felt that this was a good chance to evaluate what it might mean.

Approaching the true mana and the origin of other manas might be something that sounded small. It sounded like returning to a home town or finding the lake that a stream came from. It would take a little work but it could be done.

Yet, this was nothing more than a farce. Finding the source of true mana and the origin of mana itself was something that most races wouldn't even be able to consider. There was also the fact that some mana was corrupted right now. Hope could one progress further toward some source of mana if it wasn't even pure?

These things were massive blockades to starting such a journey. "I think that matching the pure manas within each of your own elemental affinity will be a great achievement. But getting to pure mana. To true mana, will take time." Walker didn't hide the fact that he understood the weight of trying to do these things.

"It will." Terron could see that Walker understood the gravity of what the dragons desired to do and the path they now walked. "It was the same for our ancestors. We have failed to rediscover that path until now. When I become an earth dominator dragon, I will hold entire stretches of mountain within my hand. Before then, I can only shake one mountain."

It appeared that Terron was thinking about himself as just another weaker dragon now and not at all like the royal dragon that he was. "The earth wyverns. You are going to guide them even more. That's why the wyvern queen is over there meditating with her children. Right?"

"You already understand. I have taught them a similar method. But they are already changing it to suit them more than it would suit us. The wyverns will have their own methods to grow stronger. More physical and less reliant on mana. They are similar to some warriors." Terron drew these connections after seeing those who did not use mana at all in their battle styles. Pure physical power.

The earth wyverns could use their earth affinity, but even before they were a race, they used their strength. They battled physically to take their food. To hold their territory. To be able to survive. That was the start of their now, high, ability to grow quickly using physical training.

But adding in the focus on gathering earth mana, the wyverns could utilize both and gain massive boosts in defenses along with other things. It just depended on how they used the earth mana and how they adapted as they joined the battles for the futures of all races.

"Some of them are stronger. I assume they will come to whatever battlefield we are on. I look forward to it. Earth wyverns that follow the earth dominator dragon. Now that would be something." Walker saw Terron's shoulders relax slightly. It was sure that he was thinking the same thing and waiting for Walker to say it too.

"Before you leave, remember that Ignus and the others will be weaker for some time. They will be limited in their form. That is not the issue though. They must not fight for a certain period of time or else their mana may deviate from the natural flow they are reestablishing." This warning was heavy. Terron knew well the dangers since he had read the records of the earth dominator dragon.

"I understand." Walker looked carefully at Terron before starting to turn. "Do you think there was a nature dominator dragon? Or do you think that was ever a thing?" Walker asked this. A small question with very large implications. But after seeing Ignus, he had begun to consider it as a possibility.

There was a pause between he two of them. Not a heavy silence but one that seemed to be around because there was a lot of unknowns still. "Not in a single record or step that I found has anything like that."

Terron was clearly holding himself back for the moment. Not because he had information he didn't want to share, but because he was unsure. "If there was, I would say that it is fully lost. Even we have only seen a small few able to become nature dragons. But I do know, that we considered nature dragons to be the uniting force between all elemental dragons."

"You may already know that, but I think that holds more meaning than you thought of before, right?" Terron left Walker with this as he walked deeper in to the large cave he had created. It was a surety that Terron was taking the next steps to become an earth dominator dragon.

From what Terron had said, Walker fully understood. This was an area on which only he could figure out. That was the same for every royal dragon becoming a dominator dragon. Finding their ruins that could assist them was a challenge within itself.

For Walker, it would mean that he either had to understand everything on his own, or rediscover something that might not exist? anymore. It was highly likely that it didn't exist any longer though. That is, if it ever existed at all.

"Well, I guess I should head back up." Walker could sense that Terron was preparing runes formations for his process, but needed no help at all. He had earth dragons and dragonkin coming to guard him. The dwarves would definitely help him as well. That meant that there would be another powerful force ready for a war beside him. A good thing.

The idea that there was never an nature dominator dragon was not as scary as some people would think. Walker had a different idea of what might have happened. An idea about why nature dragons existed and what they could potentially grow to be. It just didn't have much basis yet.

Right now, Walker was trying to gather mana, understand it, and then step ahead toward true mana. He could sense it, but making it useful to everything he did was a rough topic. Yet, what if he was able to fully use the natural mana and the other outer manas that he had barely grasped. Space, time, death, and life?

This question was what led Walker to think of what would happen if those were all united. Would they just be a mashed up mix of mana? No, it made more sense that they would be more than that. Elemental manas made natural mana. So if all manas were able to be controlled, then wouldn't they just be the same as true mana?

True mana should be all manas and vice versa. It should be mana that can take any form. Therefore, it wasn't necessarily a mix of manas but mana without form. Therefore, being able to control more than natural mana meant that he could control true mana.

If there was a nature dragon that lived beyond the nature dragon step, wouldn't they have become a true dragoon? The same as the original dragon that had control over all manas and had begun the knowledge and entire dragon race that they all knew?

This wasn't a simple theory without basis. It had a bit of backing with the beliefs of the dominator dragons that Ignus and Terron had shared. It also made sense. A dragon that was able to birth the current dragon race would have to have had affinities to all mana. But that raised more questions.

Where were the life, death, space, and time dragons? Could they even exist? All these questions and growing theories could give anyone a headache. "Ugh, I just need to go and check on other things for now. I just wonder how Ventus is doing…" Walker grumbled out loud as he walked alone back toward the surface of Genesis. His mind was a bit more at ease knowing that Terron and the king of the deep were well prepared.

Ventus had long left Genesis through the elemental space rune formation. She had returned to the high skies above the Sigil containment with one goal. Sense the lingering wind mana that should be left behind by the wind dominator dragon.

She also made sure to check the progress of the corrupted floating city. It was still slowly moving along whatever course it had. But it had not changed. The slow movements were enough to allow the Genesis forces more time to prepare. Not that it made anyone feel better. They could not attack the floating city yet.
