Chapter 2065  2065. Pain And Changes

The pain that surfaced as Walker literally played with his own life was something that he could not understand. But something that he also felt was completely right to happen. healing the body or changing the body with training always came with some pain, the healing pain was because the body was changing and growing to repair itself. The changes caused the body to stretch and change in ways that it didn't before. The wounds would always be sore, the very same way that the body was sore after training physically for a long or hard time. Therefore, the life mana would naturally react to those things. Walker had already understood how the body and life mana would work together. The life mana could spur the body to heal better because that was how the body worked. Using light magic or other healing skills would focus on the body purely. That allowed it to heal and regenerate using the nearby nutrients stored within the body.

Where the life mana method would use the natural regeneration, but speed it up. The healing would affect the entirety of the body rather than a specified place. Therefore, the entire body could heal at a faster rate using nutrients from all over the body to heal instead of one location. This was similar to the way a healing potion would work. It was nutrients that would help the entire body to heal unless it was poured on just a specific wound. Thus, the wound would heal with those nutrients and the mana within the healing potion as fuel. This was different. Walker could sense that the life mana deep in the volcanic actions of nature was dense and causing the other manas to become stirred up. The earth and fire mana were pushed to clash. This caused magma and heat to generate. From there, a champion reaction was happening with the water and various other aspects of the ocean deep below. This spurred the death mana to gather where things were dying and even some darkness mana to begin rotting those things that had been killed naturally. It also caused a lot of chaos in themanas trying to enter the area that would normally flow naturally. There were even changes in the currents underwater which was why the aquatic forces had to leave the water, besides the dangerous poisons and heat that would harm them. This was very enlightening to the way that Walker thought about the other elemental manas and how they flowed when creating new aspects of nature like an island. The forces all around the ships had been able to resist the nature that they had been thrown in to. The boiling ocean was even becoming less chaotic with everyone working together. They could also sense that they were making their way out of this small section of ocean. Yet, Walker was still deep in meditation now. He was latched on to the feeling of purer life mana that was getting further and further from him. He was using that purer life mana as a guide. As a reason for his body's life mana to vibrate at the same frequency. He was attuning it to when he had learned to copy other skills or to mimic the wind skills of the elves. He had done this when he had tried to step through the air using the wind ripple skill. That was used by some of the elves, therefore, he had copied them to make it happen. He had to copy the way that the wind mana was used and how it flowed around his feet. This meant that copying the way that the life mana was denser and causing the other manas to react, was possible. But because he was doing this, Walker was feeling much more pain. He was literally damaging his body by causing the other manas within his body to go in to a more chaotic state. With this, he also caused the natural mana to react. His body housed a lot of it along with Fleur reading within the spirit marks on him. She had sensed these changes and did nothing to stop it. She could feel that Walker was not in danger in the sense that he was fighting or fooling around. Instead, Fleur allowed Walker to take full control of all the natural mana that she and he had gathered around them. This just spurred the manas to react even more. Before long, the other mages sensed that Walker had a significantly dense amount of manas around him. They were keeping them self controlled in a way that they could not even reach out their senses to grasp on to. For the higher class mages that had studied longer and understood their manas better, they saw the changes in these manas. They were learning from witnessing this odd event. Walker's skin was turning red as his body was influenced by a stricter and more vibrant life mana. By forcefully matching the purity and density of the life mana rather than following the life mage's methods to heal by spreading a person's life mana through their body, Walker was making his body adjust instead of the opposite. Every single muscle fiber was slightly torn then repaired by the rampaging light mana as a purifying force and healing. The fire and earth mana seemed to influence his blood and bones over everything else. The water manas reacting with the organs of his body. The darkness mana was even breaking away at his skin slightly as he was still being healed. Wind mana buffeting his skin as well. The various other manas were also playing their parts. He could sense lingering death mana that was around him. Like it wanted to act, but was not able to flow in any way toward Walker. But everybody had some death mana in them. Hair fell off, flakes of skin died and fell away, along with many other aspects. This meant that Walker was able to feel the death within himself and realized that just like life mana, death mana was also there. It was a balance. A counter that kept time flowing for everyone. Besides that, time was also there next to the space mana. Almost like the two were watching the occurrence. Both were part of how Walker could exist where he was, but Walker could not influence them as he wished. They were just present and he had to accept that until he mastered their understanding a little more. He did not comprehend them properly. That was all. Yet, as the life mana surged suddenly, Walker felt that his body had a massive change. All manas around him flowed more smoothly. He felt that his hair had even grown slightly longer. Even his sin felt tougher as he felt the life mana cease to resonate in the same way it had once been. He felt a warmth move through his body as natural mana that he did not control wash over him. This was the will of the world. Walker could vaguely sense this as he meditated there. As his mind grew dark and he fell asleep. He had forced himself beyond his limit to use life mana to a higher level than what he could currently do. It was worth it though. The gains from this had been clear. Walker knew well that they were. That was why he had that last thought before passing out and falling in to a deeper sleep than before. Before all the manas dissipated and left him to slumber. 'Major side quest: life mana potential- completed

Requirement: use your own life mana to fully accept the shared manas and bloodlines from your partners. Reward: world assistance in accepting those changes.'

Roars came through Walker's slumber. His dreams were filled with massive coiling serpents radiating light and darkness. Ancient dragons stomped through his dreams full of power and pride. Deep within him, his very being felt a calmness and warmth that only nature could process. Whether he could say that these feelings were real or not, Walker knew that he had deeply embedded the shared bonds he had with Fluer, Midnight, and Onyx within his existence as a whole. Not just his soul, but in body and soul combined. This wasn't at all like what Remey had done to change herself. Instead, he had more likely welcomed what he had already been sharing as part of who he was as a whole. While the bonds he had were already influencing him and him them, he now had taken that as part of his being. This major step changed who he was overall, but allowed him to also accept greater partnership from his family. Those bonds could allow him a better connection since he was more like them. It was a deeper and more profound existence that aligned with the way of the world. No, the way of existence.  …
