Chapter 2292: 2292. Odd Dark Mana

With a little more information from Clara, Walker felt that he had made a few theories about what might be causing issues nearby the new ruins discovered.

He had originally believed it might be another bridge to the elemental planes opening up. It would make sense if the dark elemental plane was on the other side of it causing a disturbance with the dark mana. Or that a monster had already passed in to the world and had manipulated the dark mana because of its strong affinity for dark mana over others.

However, even if that was the case, then the odds that a strong enough monster which could take control of dark mana over Walker and Mordant and even Onyx, was very low. They would need the dark elemental mana from the dark elemental plane more than anyone else would so they could not survive within the world without losing mana, not taking it.

It was much more likely that a nearby area had been affected by a monster or general existence due to the expansion of the world. The very same wilderness areas were causing issues right now for those who had started to change trade routes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It had been exceptionally lucky that the majority of basic trade routes had gone unaffected. Not that many of the merchants had ignored the changes. They had focused on security creating many more jobs than what most people would have expected.

All good things in a way, minus the fact that these areas were dangerous and the unknown monsters were dangerous too. The only bonus was that no randomly appearing randomly came to be. Not that a theory hadn't come up yet. But to be fair, the odds of that were so small that everyone was able to keep themselves realistic.

The changes in the mana which Walker, Onyx, and Mordant had felt were nothing compared to what had already been recorded though.

So many new areas and unknown wildernesses had been discovered with odd manas. Due to this, mages with the higher skills able to sense manas had been there keeping handles on what else might be learned. Many of these wilderness areas within traveling distance of mages had sent consistent information in this respect.

Meaning that what the three of them had sensed was out of the ordinary. And also why Mordant was waiting for Walker when he had just finished with Clara. Mordant wanted to find the answers.

He had never encountered a situation where he had lost the access to using dark mana fluidly. While he could still sense it and gather it, he had felt that his control over it was ambiguous. Since that was the case, he knew that this would greatly affect the other dragons.

Mordant had immediately left the shadows and they rose in a familiar scenery. The jagged rocks and towering cliff sides proved that they were nearby the ruins which had been found by the ruin hunters. However, Walker could sense that the earth mana in the area was also somewhat unsettled. Like something was causing it to shift more than it should naturally.

Following the unsettling feeling, Walker quickly spotted an area where multiple taller jagged rocks had grown out of the ground as the mountains shifted over who knew how long. He could sense the dark mana was being pulled toward that area and that the broken jagged rock made a perfect path which led right to a large cave opening.

"Do you think this is the monster den or dungeons that were reported?" The question from Mordant was enough to make Walker wonder if they were going to be dealing with this issue here and now. If it was one such place, then it would be a larger issue to handle.

"I want to say yes, but it feels too unsettled. The manas within those wilderness areas where monster dens and odd ruins have been found is steady. It might even be dual or triple affinity manas mixing together in unique amounts. But this, it's just dark mana being made to become chaotic and for some reason. The earth mana is shifting since it usually has some relationship with dark mana, especially in a cave."

This was when Walker caught an even stronger feeling. Like the dark mana had just been pulled like it was attached to a strong. Something powerful had just pulled dark mana toward it and taken it in to control. But it stopped meaning that it couldn't do that constantly. "Something is in there and it is gathering dark mana in large amounts all at once. But it is not strong enough to have a constant flow of dark mana. It is not like me." The simple comment from Mordant showed Walker that the worry that there was another dark dragon was gone from Mordant's mind. A good thing.

"No, it's definitely not a dragon. But It might be something a little harder to deal with if we don't tread carefully." Walker swore he saw the shadows move and pull the dark mana from the cliff shadow and the rock shadows nearby the entrance of the cave. He could only hope his mind was playing tricks on him.
