Master Of None

When Current began to direct where the ships were removing, things were clearly more dangerous. All the aquatic forces had already retreated. This was for their safety. But the wind mages and other related skill users were focusing on the added dangers. The steam was full of toxic poison from the bubbling waters. The magma that was cooling rapidly beneath the ocean salt water was filled with too much. While it could be useful in some instances, this sort of thing was not at all what anyone had expected. Walker had to focus on the wind as well. He used his manipulation to cause fresher air to blow down from the higher sky where the clouds were. This was assisted by Ventus who did the same for multiple ships. Their teamwork proved to be a blessing to those who were unable to do anything due to their own affinities. But the situation was not getting better right away. There after being held back in the essence of waves was nothing that could be controlled for ever. Current knew that this was a natural event. That the oceans here were just part of the way nature flowed. They could not stop the flow of magma from an underground volcano. Even if Terron and Current worked together, they would greatly damage the future of this area. The island that would eventually be formed by this phenomenon was somewhere that would be explored much later. It was already written in to the maps that this area existed. Regardless of that, the manas being used were forcing others to pay more attention to what was happening. Specifically, how the manas were being used. How they were being used in tandem to other manas. Alice had started to sing and spread a purifying light all around the ships. Every single ship had a slight mist of light that was adding to their safety. That alone made many of those worried much more relaxed. It allowed them to return to their thoughts using what they were seeing. The changes in the general soldiers was already evident. They were seeing different ways to help each other in this event alone. While it might be repairing small places of damage or just carrying materials, they were taking in the large effect of the area around their ships. To them, they were able to begin thinking of it all like a metaphor. The world was the ship, the outside was the chaotic mana that was unable to be controlled, and beyond that, were the calm waters of the elemental planes. A way to comprehend what they had been told about a greater existence that was just cut off from them. That aside, Walker felt that he could sense the deeper changes beneath the ocean now. The more he focused on manipulating while sensing the manas at work, the more he grasped on to something. A small wisp of life mana said deep in the ocean. The smallest of life mana that was not what he expected. He would have assumed that there would be death mana because there was danger in volcanoes. That there would be strong darkness mana since there was a toxic fumes and poison. But, the death mana was less focused. It was more a result from the foolish monsters and animals that came too close to these dangerous waters. Therefore, it was just a side effect. The life mana though, was something that struck him. It wasn't because there were new monsters around. The waters could easily be called devoid of life in that sense. The monsters could not adapt to a sudden events like this. While some plants might be adjusting since they were tougher due to the fact that these waters had been warm for so long, the new life in them was not great enough to make it stand out to Walker's senses. Yes, he had minimal understanding of life mana, so he could just be missing things. However, he also could see a clear difference. The life mana within him alone was something he could sense as very stable. As focused for him and part of his very existence. That alone was enough for him to grapes that life mana was very adaptable. Very flexible since it could be different for all things. Especially since they were growing at different rates and forms. Life mana was hard to explain in that sense. But what walker had not considered were babies or new life. Or even new places where mana and nature were changing as a whole. That the life mana involved within that was full of a more potent vigor, or, as many other manas, was at a pourer state because it was being influenced differently. The life mana that had gathered was not in a physical or even a living form so to speak. It was part of the rumbling volcano. Part of the magma flowing under water. Even part of the toxic steam being sent up in to the water and air above where the ships were right now. That meant as a whole, that life mana was more than just part of what everyone would consider living beings. That it was part of nature in the sense that without it, nature did not grow or progress either. That for the volcano to exist and begin forming this new island miles beneath the water, that life mana had to be condensed. This understanding was why the echidna were all working hard and also somewhat distracted by looking down. They could sense the birth of new aspects of nature. Their connection to that being extremely deep to the point that they had also been able to tap in to the true flow of the world before any other race had done. It stunned him to come to this conclusion, but it also gave him an idea. Since he had understood this, what if he focused on that feeling? What if he tried to condense his own life mana instead of trying to spread it out and boost his natural healing ability? Therefore, what if he made his life mana act fresh and new somewhat like the life mana that he was sensing? Would he harm himself, or, would he react like the volcano and begin growing at a faster rate. Could he use this as a way to adapt his body for later? The thought had entered him at the same time something he hadn't noticed in a while. The system had not given him a quest. And when it did, it was things that he didn't notice at all because the party or he, was already accomplishing it without needing the system to put him on that path. That was why the systems had been less and less referenced. That, and with the strength of the party changing based on their skills and new understandings, they did not need to rely on the numbers or the skills shown. They had to rely on their understanding. Their comprehension of all that they trained for. 'Major side quest: life mana potential

Requirement: use your own life mana to fully accept the shared manas and bloodlines from your partners. Reward: world assistance in accepting those changes.'

Walker was even more stunned. So much so that the wind manas he was manipulating shivers for a moment causing a shock to go through the ships. Everyone who knew what was happening and how important it was to resist these mists looked toward Walker in fear. They worried that he had been harmed in some form, but were soon relaxed again to find him safe. "Midnight, can you use your wind dragon breath to handle this ship? I need to immediately meditate while I can still sense the manas deep in the ocean. If I do not, then i won't be able to fight the demon lord when we get to that island." The pressure coming from Walker's words told Midnight everything. She had sensed when Walker was shocked by a new understanding. She could feel his emotions in turmoil while he thought and acted at the same time. He was multitasking at a time like this, but that was a good thing. It meant that Walker was learning something very important right now. Seeing multiple mages step up and Midnight taking the lead to make sure that things were safe, Walker gradually released his control of the manas. He also saw that Scylla was taking on a burden here. Using her abilities to make more wind rotate around the ships and also using her affinities with water to push away the mist that threatened to drift too close. Every bubble of toxic mist was handled. But right this second, Walker worried a little before he latched completely on to that feeling of new life mana. Of uniquely pure life mana. …
