Chapter 2275: 2275. Fire To Ice
Being brought to a new and unfamiliar place during the night was not what Waker expected from his life. However, they had moved as a party in the night before, so that did not make this the strangest traveling plan that they had.
He understood why this was important. With how fast they could travel as just the pair of them, they could do what it would take an army to do in hours versus days. That was just part of the benefits here. Walker knew he would be able to begin exploring right away with the time of day.
The crystal islands were dangerous during the day, getting there at that time would be a limiter for him. While Walker knew that he could in fact resist the light and the heat, he would prefer not to have to work on that constantly. The less mana he used there the more he could use for other things.
Specifically, he could use more focus on the water mana he needed to make sure he was able to move freely under water. He could focus more on the wind mana he needed to bring him fresh air to breathe while under the water. Not that he couldn't hold his breath for a significant amount of time now. That was just a bonus fact.
The cool night air was full of small insect monster's making noise. The wilderness of a different continent still sounded different. The chorus of night was something that everyone could recognize from their homes, yet, it was also interesting to hear the changes as one traveled. Just that small aspect alone showed the distance traveled.
Walker quickly sensed the small village that the angels had nearby the base which was prepared by the Genesis soldiers. He could tell that they had been working very hard to bring the two together and even improved their existing homes and walls while the soldiers were here. It was very smart to take advantage of the help while they could.
The more that he focused on it, the more impressed he was though.
He could see that there were crops being farmed along the coast. Something very difficult because of the salty breeze that would halt the growth of most basic crops. Hence why some of the shore faring races would have changed their diets to support certain seaweeds and more aquatic monsters as their diets.
When he looked for the fields using his mana sense, Walker noticed the rune formations around the fields they were growing. The angels here had been using the rune formations of wind to block the salty breeze so that the salty mist within was redirected back toward the shore. The idea was wise and the upkeep was excellent so it showed they had listened to the genesis forces who had come to help them.
It showed that these angels were willing to take the time and learn respectfully. They were also very diligent in what they had learned. Therefore, they deserved politeness and respect. Hence why Walker waved to those that spotted him.
"I didn't bring you here so you would be dragged off by the locals." Syu reminded Walker that he was here to go for a swim and check out the base of the islands.
'Snow flame coral
This coral is an oddity within the world. While it would normally be impossible, it anchored within a place that had high fire mana. The only reason it managed to get here was the ancient melting ice it had lived in melting due to ancient monsters fighting.
As the magma cooled, the small bits of this coral were able to begin to grow very slowly. When the magma cooled properly, the coral was bursting with life. Only slowed by the unique crystal islands causing the water to become too warm for them to grow at all and forcing them to go dormant temporarily.
As this cycle of dormancy and growth constantly happened, over recent times, this coral burst in to life and began to cool the water around it. Even causing ice to form. It needs it so that uit can properly create ice flowers which will house small bits of itself that will eventually drift to
an icy place.
This coral boasts a strange affinity for fire and ice mana. It can filter the fire mana from its surrounding sin the from of what to force the water to condense and become ice mana. This is extremely rare and would normally be found in unique volcanic environments within tundras.
It has an extremely wide array of uses in alchemy and even just as an item that can allow certain monsters and races to develop...'
Walker was amazed by this small coral which had somehow managed to anchor itself within the base of the islands here. It had fought for many years to reach this point. And it deserved the awe Walker felt.
