Chapter 2139 2139. True Earth Sage

There was also a lot of dense earth mana moving around the skeletons. Like something had used denser earth mana to shatter them when the skeletons had come near them. "But none of them look anything like more than just normal skeletons. They aren't the immortal king's body." Gil's interpretation was fair, but Walker still wondered what had happened.

Learning what had happened and what was going on would be important to understand where the immortal king was going. What kind of experimentation he was doing? And for what goal? They all needed to grab this if they wanted to be able to handle anything else that was coming at them.

"What is this sage that we are trying to find?" Remey made a single request. Simply because she wasn't sure what they were even looking for in all this.

A sage was someone deeply connected to mana and the flow of nature. The flow of the world. But how could a sage be here if there was not a connection to the world until now? Therefore., were they just a sage of the elemental planes? Or the nature that came with the elemental planes.

I gained the young sage title when I was learning about manas and natural mana through nature and how they flowed. But the more I focused on it all and got closer to natural mana, the more I felt that the title was worth it. That it was part of me. I still have the title too." Walker felt that he was sure that the title would be useful within the elemental planes.

"Another sage? And a human sage? Interesting. The humans were supposed to be a race that's extinct within the elemental plane of earth. It has been quite some years before I heard or saw anything like you."

The voice was coming from the ground itself. Right below them to be exact. But there was nothing there. "Ah, I forget that you are unlike the earth spirits that come to speak with me. Or the other beings that can see through the density in mana creating the very earth I am made of now. Please accept my apology." The slight rough laughter was like an old man who was in need of a cup of water. But as the ground shifted, Walker understood.

The figure moving and condensing before them was holding an earth stave. It has intricate natural earth runes that only appeared when the earth mana was so dense that it could manifest as such. While the figure was not thin, the density of their body was intense. Enough to make the area itself feel like there was a hidden pressure.

Not a threatening aura of any sorts, but just a warning that they were a powerful being that deserved some respect. "I wonder how many years it has been between now and the time that I came here to search for the true meaning of earth. The true meaning of what might create the very foundation for manas to put their roots in to?"

Walker had no idea what to say. The being that appeared before they had a gravel beard, stood ten feet tall, and was wearing what could be thought as a statue set of robes which still moved with it, without even making a sound of cracking stone.

Walker still held some fire near him just in case, but he did not sense the earth mana moving whatsoever around them. This true earth sage was not showing any animosity still.

"So they did end themselves. It must have been a different race than the angels though. Please do not tell me that they caused the world to be shut off..." The true earth sage clearly feared that he could have left behind his race which caused even more untold damage.

"They were involved, but it was a human turned demon lord that chose to give up becoming a hero and turned to being a monster. It broke the delicate flow of the world as it was still forming. Breaking the bridges. There's more but that is part of everything."

The gap in knowledge might be a larger issue than what Walker believed. He also noticed that the earth spirit before was not a spirit race, but an earth elemental spirit. Meaning there was now a difference between the race and just a spirit.

That should have been expected though. Not everything would change. Especially when the worlds flow and the elemental planes flow were compared to one another along with the beings within each respectively.

"I broke those skeletons. They emanated death mana. They tried absorbing earth mana to grow in strength. Death and earth is not an acceptable fusion within this part of the earth plane." Pressure grew around the true earth sage.

From what they could all tell, there were limits and rules to what manas should be where. This was all due to the purity of the let bal manas and their density within these places.

"We lack the knowledge of these rules. I understand we may break some, but if we allow the immortal king to flee and get somewhere with more death mana..."

Walker didn't finish the thought. He saw the true earth sage nodding along with his words. It was very easy to catch in to what the people he had met here thought.

"The world is a mystery to me now. If I were to visit again, I would not like to be an enemy of those living there. I wish to see the nature I did as a child before I came here." Sentimentality was where many would find solace. This being had once lived in the world. They would wish to see it again.
