Chapter 1947 1947. Elemental Awakening
It was easily known what dangers and crimes the dwarves and a few other races had committed against the elemental spirits. This was out of sheer ignorance and lack of communication. It was also how many of the elves had ended up with a hatred for the dwarves.
The dwarves in particular had a history of using the elemental spirits as materials. They sealed them within their forged creations to give the creation more skills or inherent ability.
Gil had found one such bow. The bow that had now been properly reforged to have its own new qualities while freeing the elemental spirit within. Little had they all known that this elemental spirit would turn out to be the now grand wind spirit, Zephyr.
Regardless, this was a historical fact. Other races had also allowed the elemental spirits to go dormant or used them importantly. The demons had done so while the demi-humans had just tossed the dormant elemental spirits in to storage since anything magical was normally useless to them due to the physical focus.
With these facts in mind, the party had been clear that the elemental spirits should all be awakened from their slumber. The world had more or less explained the benefits of them in nature and elsewhere.
As people had come together within Genesis, they had seen evidence of this. especially now that the natural mana flow had returned to such a higher degree. With proper grand elemental spirits, there was a clear cut change in how mana was? everywhere. It was more readily available and slightly denser.
This led to some of the elemental spirits awakening on their own. That was a benefit since there were not any mages that had to use elemental crystals or gather mana to awaken them. But this was still the smallest percentage of dormant elemental spirits.
Many were still dormant because they had not been awakened. Some were still being discovered in ancient ruins or in other storage places forgotten because they had seemed like useless rocks or hunks of crystal. This became a rough topic for those that had begun to show signs of bonds between elemental spirits.
Many mages had realized that by befriending such spirits, that they could learn more about their own capabilities and where they stood in strength. Furthermore, there were some classes being found that required bonds with elemental spirits. Even more than what had already existed before this in the eleven population.
Therefore, these issues had been growing. What really struck everyone as Walker made a very blunt explanation about how the elemental spirits should be their own race, was that they had existed for a very long time and not been recognized as such.
What they did not know was that the world had been damaged. Therefore, the elemental spirits who were made up of mana, had been held back. It Was similar to the goblins who had been attacked by the demon lord's minions. They had nearly been a race before they were harmed and caused to scatter and nearly lose their population.
The elemental spirits should have been powerful enough and grown enough to have been their own race? if they had not faced such a massive trial that sent most of them in to a dormant state due to there being improper mana flow in nature to sustain them. This being the issue that was somewhat repaired, if not almost fully, they could awaken properly.
It was already proved that as they came together and gained more mana, that their intelligence grew. The high elemental spirits could even communicate now that the world translated languages for everyone. It made things very clear that the high elemental spirits and beyond could interact just like any other race.
The angels feared the elemental spirits because of their ability to control mana. The elemental spirits could stop the angels from absorbing elemental mana through their wings as they naturally did. But if the elemental spirits were their own race, they could communicate better and reach a better understanding. It would solve these worries a great deal.
Just thinking about this proved to Walker over and over that this would be the right move to make. They could greatly increase the intelligent beings within Genesis while also encouraging others to be able to understand mana as a whole. The growth potential was massive for Genesis.
From there, it would be clear for the grand elemental spirits to feel less stress. They had been the ones to exists for generations before moving on to the elemental planes. The current grand elemental spirits had taken those positions because the world needed them. What if the world didn't need these pillars to stand as reasons to keep the manas flowing properly?
The grand elemental spirits had to take a? larger roles in the flow of mana because the world was unable to be managing these manas. If it had a stronger ability to now speak through the system and also to be able to control the manas of the world, then couldn't the elemental spirits separate a little?
The idea of them becoming freer was larger. Walker was very clear that when the elemental spirits were all awakened, that there might be a large chance that the mana became denser in Genesis. But the idea that the manas of the world would become denser was what he was after.
Currently. The manas of the world were more chaotic. This was because of the corrupted mana, chaotic mana, was being mixed in and directly clashing with the natural mana flow. Within plants, beasts, and every day life. All was evident to Walker now that he had put more of the puzzle pieces together in to a larger picture.
From the changes in mana, he hoped that the elemental spirits would cause a push back against the corrupted mana that was pushing in to monsters and the world as a whole. It might also unite the elemental panes with this world of mixed mana more than before.
That alone brought up a massive number of potentials. If the flow of mana through the world and elemental planes increased, there was a high chance that the corrupted mana would have a larger trouble causing issues. This could stave off the plans of the demon lord by a larger margin. If that was the case, it was exactly what Walker wanted to do.
More time to prepare the Genesis forces. More time for the dragons to walk the proper path to becoming dominator dragons. For some, the time to even find the dominator ruins that they were searching for that would take them to that level of strength.
The echidna would be the outliers since they would mostly be affected by the flow of mana. They were closer to natural mana and the intended flow of the world. They would sense and be able to adjust their own quests and strengths to this. It might even speed up their efforts to help the world by a lot. Or at least these were the hopes that Walker currently had. He wouldn't be putting this aside just so that he could fail in it. He would give it his all.
"This is the room we have created for the awakening of elemental spirits. We have some that do not react whatsoever to the elemental manas of common nature. We believe that they may be unique elemental spirits. Either fused elemental manas or outside manas we can not manipulate right now." the mage that brought Walker showed him everything.
This room had been made underneath the mage tower. It served as a place that gathered mana so that the elemental spirits could awaken faster. It was clearly a valuable idea since it had been working.
"Very good. Regardless of what outside manas are around, we will help them when we have the means. For now, I will meditate and bring natural mana here in higher density. That should awaken a lot more elemental spirits." Walker looked at the mage who understood the benefits of this.
He left the room and began calling other mages. When Walker brought the manas here in a more densely packed form, they could learn a lot. Any mage would gain a lot from seeing such things. Especially when the mages were young or stuck on a certain point in their path to becoming a stronger mage overall.
The word quickly passed around and more mages came toward the mage tower. They even brought with them some of the more unique classes that used elemental manas to fight. They too needed to learn when they could. It was the best way for them to take a major step in strength to understand their own strength. Meanwhile, Walker began to sit and channel the mana through him while calling for more.
