"Three days is not that long. I worry that you both will not be ready. I don't mean that in any way other than I want you both to live properly." Walker could see the grimace that Remey had made. He could also see that Ignus had married his eyes slightly.
Inferring that a dragon was weak or could perish to an opponent weaker than them, in theory, was an unwise decision. Telling Remey that she was weak was the very same. But Remey would make sure you felt the punch for a very long time when she was insulted.
"Don't say a word yet. They do not fully grasp what you have done in the last day after recovering from creating a grand fire affinity potion." Ignus was extremely calm. Knowing his heated personality, this actually was scarier than other potential reactions.
This made the party stand silently. They were unsure of what might be said. As much as Walker wanted to just use the all around appraisal on Remey and Ignus, he knew that this would be unwise. He had to show honesty and trust now. Especially when they were preparing to go to war against the slime breeder, Envy.
The slightest distrust could end all of their lives. That was not a maybe, but a fact. It was easy to call one another family here. They had fought and grown together. To break that bond or damage it in any way would naturally throw them off by a large margin.
lightsnοvεl.cοm "The process created to allow a dragon to become a dominator dragon is similar. Different for certain reasons related to the mana, but similar." Ignus slowly spoke. Every word held fact and calm.
"A core within our hearts is formed from pure mana. It is both physical and now physical. It is part of us to the very core of our existence. That is why it is such a tough process. If failed, that mana goes rampant and explodes out with elemental backlash. We would not lie and a large area would be destroyed. That is why preparations for all royal dragons was incredibly important. And will be important for the future dominator dragons we teach when they are ready."
Knowing that the royal dragons had reached this level of understanding was already enough to say that they were not foolish. To understand the risks and know that the information they had could not even be shared with the elders was a large step. They had to wait until the elder or dragon in question was able to take the step without the least risk possible.
"I have calmed the mana within my heart. It solidified and became the flame dominator dragon core. The center of my being. Of my soul. Remey, is entirely unique within her own right." Ignsu leaned over slightly to bump Remey's shoulder. It was clear that her breathing had calmed. But there was a slight heat radiating from her that was beyond what was normal for her or for anyone.
After a deep breath, Remey spoke slowly as well. She matched the way that Ignus spoke. Like she was following his lead or like she and he were walking a similar pace alongside one another.
"I have not solidified any core. I am human, or not any more. But I will have it handled."
"I saw you lose control of the flames while making your grand potion. I saw that the old master alchemist helped you and was injured. But when you calmed the flames, there was a new fire that I could not understand. Even compared to the flames I see Brother and the wandering blacksmith use."
Since Onyx brought this up, the group did not hesitate to nod along. They had heard of the event and the injuries. The old master alchemist had retired after the potion naming Remey the heir to all his knowledge and growth through the years. Naming her his daughter through and through. It was a major moment within the alchemy guild because it cemented the origins of the guild as a whole.
"I know I lost it. I let myself get too stressed by the situation. Used the pure mana running through my body. But that's where I learned what I was missing." Remey raised her head more. She looked at Ignus as well. He had a slight smile that was still more out of place compared to the serious expressions he always wore.
"I am not letting the mana shape me as it should. All the royal dragons let the mana adjust their body so that a core could form. I missed that. I might have gained some traits similar to dragons and maybe even the spirit race since my partner is helping me regulate fire mana even now. But I have to let it run rampant to a degree to change myself. I will be the first to ever do this."
"In that case, what do you need from us? We have three days." Walker did not hesitate. He was not going to push this down. He would not hold this back. He refused to step away from the duty he had to support his family.
"That is the answer we wanted from you. We will take this outside of Genesis. You may all follow us. But you may not interfere. This is a new step for a historical draconic ritual and path." Ignus was firm in his voice, but there was a ring of worry to his tone. Enough that Remey looked at him for a moment.
"Then we leave now." Walker followed them out. And as Ignus flew in to the air with his wings carrying Remey, Walker used the wind to help everyone move through the air. With his stronger control of wind mana, he had managed to do this when he had not been able to before. It was also due to the natural mana he used to help him.
They all moved away from Genesis quickly. Beyond the farm lands and well in to the wilderness where no villages were or roads were. This space was open and considered safe. But they were not there for safety, they were there to see if Remey could allow this to happen.
From what Ignus had started to tell them after retreating from Remey, he had allowed the mana to course through his body and soul. That was the shaping of his new dominator dragon form. A form that allowed him to travel to the elemental planes safely.
The reason this was important, was because the dominator dragons could not gain strength any other way. They grew stronger in their elemental affinity to be able to get to purer mana. Like many dragons of the past who lost the dominator dragon records, they had lost themselves when entering elemental planes.
With the proper step to handle the ambient elemental manas, they were able to exist there and grow more.
Ignus explained that this process brought out the natural shape and potential he had. He was able to grasp a deeper understanding that worked with his body in unison. Therefore, he was now able to wield incredible fire mana that could turn a massive area in to a wasteland of fire. Power he had to keep in control.
Walker sensed a grating mana when he noticed the flame around Remey. She had removed valuable gear since she worried for its safety. But they were unable to expect what would be happening.
Cracks on Remmey's skin began to form. A burning layer that clearly made her feel pain. Every heart beat released purer fire mana that caused more damage. The ground began to scorch as she channeled all of that mana around heer. But not a single sound was made other than the hissing of burning plants around them.
Walker deflected the fire mana using natural and water mana. However, the entire party felt the heat. Su's resistances were little to nothing compared to the heat they felt. The others began to retreat. Even Midnight felt she could not handle this. The only ones that stood closer were Walker and Ignus. Ignus could survive this heat easily. Walker was using more and more natural mana to be as close as possible to support Remey.
As the flames grew more, Walker swore he saw the flames taking larger shapes. Mimicking dragon wings slightly before altering themselves. The familiar form of a grand fire spirit taking its own appearance here and there. The spirit marks that Remey had on her body were outlined by the cracks of her skin.
Blinding heat that took shapes beyond what Walker could just call fire mana was instigating his own limited understanding of fire. But it was also educating him on the depths he had yet to travel. None of this overshadowed his worries though.
