2162 2162. One Day
It was only a few moments for everyone to catch their breath and get back to focus, but they all had their eyes on the poison dragon watching them from the poison elemental plane. It had retreated significantly, but it did not trust them. They had come close to its territory. Had been fighting too.
"It's a prisoner of the light elemental plane right now. Apparently a stronger Origin Race being brought the poison elemental plane here since that poison dragon can take control of it one day. Or at least that's what I gathered from the light king's words."
This was a lot to unpack for the party. They had understood to some degree what they had heard.. But it had been hard to comprehend since the light mana had surged so much at one time. It overwhelmed their senses. But Walker had heard it clearly and underwood it all.
"I think that this is why the elemental planes are so large and shifting. The way that their manas come together is always changing, but outside of all this there must be chaos. We know that. So it makes sense that to stabilize the elemental planes without balance, something has to be done."
"You're saying that once a plane has a king, it becomes more permanent? So that poison dragon will be a ruler. And that lightning elemental plane was a boundary that will disappear." From what gil could see, this had to be the case.
"I would say you're right." Even though Walker was sure that they could take years to properly understand what all this meant, Gil summed it up enough that it could rest as it was in their minds.
"I'm fine with all that, but if we have to worry about walking in to territories and planes that are prisons, I want to know about it first."
"I agree with Remey. It's safer for us to have a better understanding of where we might cross in to. We can not defeat that poison dragon as it is now. Even if we defeated it, we would perish afterwards due to the poisons it can not properly control." Since Su had sensed the dangers, she knew well what could happen.
The chances of dying from the different elemental planes trapped as prisons so that they could grow properly was high. She had sensed that the poison dragon had little control over its own strength because it lacked the mentality to learn about its own strength right this moment. Therefore, that was the reason it needed time to grow.
Regardless of that though, Su also understood that they would need to adapt better so that they could handle these dangers. It was Walker taking the majority of growth right now. Partially because of his natural race being the origin race now, but also because of his adaptable mind.
With their focus on absorbing mana, the rest of the party allowed Walker to manipulate the manas around them. He had the skills to do so along with the focus. Especially since Fleur was pulling even more mana towards him as help. She knew that they would be using more and more the deeper in the elemental planes they got.
While Walker used the spatial and light mana to move, many more events were unfolding within the world. Ignus had just finished burning through a massive undead that had broken through the floor of what had once been the tower trapping the immortal king.
Even though they had destroyed the body and what else remained from the immortal kings' control, they had found more and more.
The soldiers that joined them had found thousands of pathways going deeper below the undead city. Not just crypts but entire floors of skeleton made caverns.
The experimental rooms full of experimental undead were left behind as objects without value to the immortal king.
Just because he did not see value in them did not mean that they were weak or worthless. The undead below had still been moving without someone to keep them in line. Some had even begun to go berserk since they were undead that still felt pain. And others... had given in to their insanity.
"That large thing is being appraised right now, Lord Ignus, we will have it in a moment." the dragonkin reporting to Ignus who had just taken down three suffering zombies wondered just how much worse this would get.
They had all joined together to defeat the tough body of the immortal king. That body had been attacking based on instincts and general strength since it had been made strong by the immortal king to resist so much. However, they were now dealing with worse.
The reason that the undead city was going to remain the undead city wasn't only because of the land being steeped in death for so long. It was also due to the hundreds of years of experiments left below the ground.
