Chapter 1897 1897. Arrows And Target



With the two ranting constantly, the audience slowly left. It wasn't that they didn't want to see something amazing. But it was just that they had no idea what was even going on. There was a lot of talk about space runes and spatial mana that they just didn't understand. Current was one of the people who returned to the embassy to keep helping elsewhere since he saw that Walker was on a roll and didn't need any guidance.

"Hey, are you going to do something or just keep talking?" Walker turned around to find that Gil was back in the camp and was no longer surrounded by the elves.

"I thought you would never be left alone. Where's Alma? Didn't she come with you?" Walker was sure that Gil would have been very busy after unveiling the high elven dagger technique. Yet, here he was by himself.

"Alma is preparing everyone for another journey. The elves wanted to celebrate... but it's not the right time. I will tell you about the unveiling of my dagger skills later." Gil laughed a little before he looked at the burned up space around Walker. He had barely seen what had happened before he got here fully. "Think you can make us a way home to get ready for whatever that is?"

The pointing finger to the slowly moving away corrupt city was enough to make Walker reaffirm his goal to destroy it and somehow save people from whatever the demons were planning. "To be honest, I have no idea. We just caught a lead toward using spatial mana. It's a lot harder than I realized."

"Well, just try things then. Don't you normally play with elemental mana to learn about it? Why not just try more and more things?" Gil had a point but the difference between elemental manas and spatial mana was clear. Spatial mana repercussions from messing around too much came at a higher cost since it would affect the space around them.

"I would just try things, but the rune we are using isn't really completed. I can barely carve runes in the first place. How can I make a new rune?" Walker pointed out the rune and compared it with one of the wind elemental runes that he knew Gil had seen many times.

"So? You have done crazier things. Why not just use the origin runes we know about to connect the broken parts? You said that space is everywhere at some point. Like we live in a space, right?" Gil wasn't sure if he had any real idea of what things were when it came to spatial mana. But he did have his own interpretation.

"I was thinking that. I can see that other manas work very well with spatial mana. It even moves without direct control of the spatial mana. But the issue I have is that I have no idea if I would create a teleportation like the scrolls we used on the mansion. Or if I would make some sort of elemental domain skill like the ice and fire dragon domain."

Gil's eyes widened thinking about the dangers that would come with a rune that channeled all the elemental manas together. It would cause some chaos and make a place too dangerous to stand. It would also be very hard to control without deeper knowledge of runes and the manas associated with them.

"Make it small then. The same way that I test my arrows. We can make an arrow with the space rune you create and shoot it somewhere without people. That way when it fails, no one will be hurt. If you want it to teleport, we can use a piece of paper as the base and then the arrow as the moving element of this attempt." Gil's idea was basic.

He thought that if the target and the arrow matched, then it might trigger teleportation or some effect that allowed Walker some insight on how spatial mana and space runes worked. From there, they could develop something more tangible. But it would limit the area of danger very much since arrows and a target were smaller than making a massive rune formation to test first.

"Arrows? That's the same precedence that I used when testing the apple teleportations within a single home. The house I used was full of these space runes. I was able to do that on a small scale but the space had to be set. It wasn't something that could go without direction." Ezra seemed to like the idea that Gil had.

For Ezra, this was just a smaller scale to test things more safely. But he could care less about safety if he managed to get a better result doing something bigger. The only issue was that if he lost the lead he had and the help he had, then he might fail. He finally had some leads after years of working on this and being stuck where he was.

"Then that's that, Gil, hand me the toughest arrow head you have. I know you have some carved from steel alloy that the wandering blacksmith folded to reinforce it. I know you thought you would save items for when you were able to find a way of imbuing wind in to them. But now's the time." Walker smirked a little as he saw that Gil was rolling his eyes.

"I don't even know how you know about all of this. You always have an idea of what arrow I am trying to make or what I might try next. Are you sure you don't have a mind reading or a future sight skill?" Gil was mostly teasing Walker, but it was just a matter of time before Walker eventually got something like that. Especially researching other manas like Time mana.

"No such skills yet, but I have some good eyes to keep track of what my family is up to." Ezra watched the two mess with each other and reminded himself why he always worked alone. The assistants he had were trained not to fool around like this. He couldn't lose the flow of a breakthrough that would be able to delve deeper in to the unknown. Become more powerful. Find even greater mysteries.

"So, you have tools for us to carve runes?" Gil looked at Ezra and held out a hand to introduce himself a little since Gil had yet to meet the angel researcher.

After a quick moment of introduction, Ezra had an assistant bring him the tools that they ended up with. But what surprised Ezra more, was the fact that Walker waved a hand and an entire forge appeared. An entire outdoor forge that shouldn't even be here had come out of nowhere.

"This is a skill called portable forge. I know it's a little much for just carving runes, but it's better to have the right tools in case we need them." The tools that Ezra had handed over were just more specific tools for carving runes. He clearly saw that Walker already had the tools to do the basics. But they were not as high quality.

"I use the high spatial storage to store all the items and with some unique circumstances, I gained the ability to put them all together in to a literal forge that can go anywhere with me. If I lack certain items It is a useless skill thug. Like, if I didn't have the anvil, then the skill wouldn't even work." Walker rarely used the portable forge skill but it was incredibly useful.

"The spatial mana you used to make this happen was more than normal. How does it work?" Ezra nearly got distracted. But he caught himself. "You will show me later. I can document this spatial skill research notes. This is a skill that should be documented while it is still unknown to us." From what Walker saw, Ezra had no knowledge of this skill. It further proved that some blacksmiths back home in Genesis were further ahead than the angels. But that's what war did to some people. Weakened them and their knowledge.

With the broken rune and multiple origin runes on paper drawn out, Walker started to imagine how to connect them. He had Gil's expertise in using the runes on arrows to help him along with the fact that Gil had seen how some other elves made runes to match the form of the arrow. This would be a valuable test to see if this was even possible.

The basics of the target would be simple too. Walker could use a straw target with rune drawings matching the arrows on it. All he had to do was prove that he could create an arrow that teleported itself to the matching rune formation. From there, it was refining and making it safe to use on people. But this was still a massive challenge.
