Master Of None

Chapter 2375: 2375. Damaging Work



He could feel it.

The moment that they even walked in to Genesis, Walker could feel it.

His mana sense was getting stronger by the day. While this was partially because he was always focused on it, Walker knew it was part of being an origin race member. His very being was acclimating to more and more mana while he grew. While he understood more about the manas of the world, no of existence itself.

The focus that Walker had on getting the young adventurers back to the adventurer's guild and also to see healers for a full check up took precedence. The map makers also needed to get to the Genesis building before they split up and shared their newer maps with the other guilds. They would all share these maps readily and freely. The only maps that would cost anything were maps made larger or with more focus.

A general map was a major goal for the entire Genesis alliance. Mostly for safety, but also for everyone to understand their world. Being able to share where and what was going on was an important part of the world right now. Also, those with talent might find their future after examining a map.

That aside, Walker could sense that there was a strange change in mana. He was not far from the crafting areas of Genesis so he had always felt oddities there since so many blacksmiths, leather workers, and carpenters worked on unique materials lately. There were many other craftsmen, but those three specifically made up the bulk of craftsmen in general in this day and age.

The mana Walker could feel was coming from a familiar location which he was sure he could get to quickly. Not just with his speed but with the fact that he had arrived later in the evening before a lot of the nocturnal races came out and as many of the day walking races went to sleep. That was just because of the times they needed to rest while traveling because of the younger people in the much larger group they had after the scouts and potential assassin guards gathered.

Noticing that there was a large stack of every tool, piece of furniture, and even most of the odds and ends blueprints of projects outside the forge, Walker had no idea what could be going on. He knew that the wandering blacksmith wanted to travel, but there was no way that he would be walking away and leaving everything here.

The forges alone had unique flames and even elemental spirits that had taken residence within them. They were able to share unique perspectives as the wandering blacksmith and other people gained the acceptance of them and the correct insight about such flames. This was a major way to improve and grow.

Yet, the wandering blacksmith could be thinking about heading out to the lava fields. Just in the short few hours since he had gotten back inside Genesis, Walker had heard the new wave of rumors. Many guards sitting outside taverns were chatting about it with their evening drinks before heading home to rest.. A culture that Walker both liked and disliked for obvious reasons.

No, that couldn't be it.

Walker focused his mana sense and felt that manas and other items that could have caused mana to build up had been entirely taken from the room. The forge even had rune formation attracting and pushing away manas in a unique flow. Something that the wandering blacksmith knew from bringing a rune formation master to help create such a flow of necessary.

But this awakened the idea that the wandering blacksmith might be working on something extremely major.

Should he go and see though? Would that ruin the progress? Could that ruin the item being made? Walker would have to entirely isolate his own mana as he went in rendering him nearly blind when it came to mana sense. But he could not even make much of a sound meaning he would have to use the soft steps skill and also do his best to be delicate overall.

Curiosity and the potential fact he could help led Walker to open the door carefully. The change in the light and the mana from the door was stopped with his control. He did not even allow it to shiver. While this caused him to use his own mana much more, Walker knew that he was able to do so.

The high mana senses that he possessed allowed Walker this form of control. A control of mana much greater than most people and even beginning to rival the elemental spirits and spirit race. They would find his control suffocating and even life threatening if he were to misuse it. Especially the elemental spirits who had a natural control of elemental mana but not a highly focused one from learning over time.

When his eyes fell on Su, Walker was even more surprised. He had not sensed her whatsoever. Something that should be nearly impossible. There she was though, standing in front of a forge with her skin showing signs of heat and damage.

That was when he sensed the space mana running amok. Not entirely though. It was unsettled. Like a cat cornered and growling at a beast. It was angry and scared. It was trying its best not to be forced or bent to the will of another.

Looking more carefully, Walker could see that Su had nearly nothing when it came to mana in her body. She had expended almost every single bit of her mana. Her injuries had to be because that fact had worn down her natural resistances. Losing mana flow was just one way to weaken the body overall. Then the prolonged exposure to different elemental manas and also to chaotic space mana had done its toll.

The draconic resistance that Su gained through her bonds with Midnight and by accepting the dragon side of herself now being one with her had not been able to hold up enough. Walker could see that her skill to make dragon scales more prevalent all over her body had activated and been pushed right back by the constant harm from manas.

The wandering blacksmith was slowly carving on a piece of metal. Slowly shaping. Slowly altering by taking piece by piece from the flames. The flames that appeared to be reaching out towards Su to get a little more mana. To be able to push Su a little further.

The sudden deep breath that the wandering blacksmith took proved that his focus was much greater than normal. Even when he had forged things with Walker, the wandering blacksmith remembered to breathe. Now though, he had forgotten and been forced to take large slow breaths when he realized his position.

That was also when a burst of decaying mana moved through the room. Whatever material had just burned up had been full of dark mana which decayed one of the materials. The slag that fell off allowed the wandering blacksmith to fit it perfectly in place. The effects also hit Su who flinched this time. Her body showing even more damage but clearly being fully

connected to the flame and the process.

"no mana. Move material to forge."

The simple words were shortened to save energy and focus. But the wandering blacksmith was not speaking to Su. Instead, he was speaking to Walker. All three of them knew that, not that Su heard anything. Her entirety was focused on matching and facing the flames which were tempering her and the materials that would become an item perfectly matched to her and what she needed in the future.

What the wandering blacksmith had yet to tell her was simple.

He was making her an item just like Walkers' eternal codex. He was adding space affinities to it to meet her requirements, but not just for the reason that she wanted. He was forcing there to be much more than just the space mana spatial storage aspect.

He wanted to make her something that could resist all manas. Could enhance her body. Could match her desire and fight to be able to defend others and all the values within Genesis. To ensure that there would always be safety in their world. To uphold her goals to better everything.

He had seen her and so had Genesis. The people knew who Su was in the best way possible. Of course the wandering blacksmith would channel those desires in to his work. He had every goal to do so. He had respect and even admiration for her and the others. But right now, his intenses focus was for Su's gear. The item that would become the core of who she was in battle and even outside of battle as she progressed.

It would not be some temporary thing. It would last an entire lifetime.
