Chapter 2135 2135. Boundaries

"I Can't keep track of how much the wind mana is changing around us. Walker, the mana that is making up the bridge shifts over and over." Gil had managed to catch on to the fact that the bridge they walked on was less solid than what it appeared. While the bridge seemed to be solid and looked like a bridge to the party, they all had begun to realIze that they were not seeing the same things. Su had mentioned that the bridge had a solid white color in her eyes. But that was most likely the fact that she spent a lot of time around light mana. Since she had gained the bond with Midnight and accepted the dragon aspect of who she was, Su had acclimated to all manas. But because she had trained with healers and Rise, she had gained a better understanding of light mana. Remey saw the bridge as a deep crimson red, like the flames she used in alchemy to purify the more difficult herbs of impurities. Gil of a light green wind color which was similar to many birds that had higher wind affinities. Midnight and Onyx didn't say much, but they clearly saw different things because they were constantly looking at the dense mana that made the bridge up with curiosity. Walker could also sense their awe. "I think the mana is balanced but always flowing. The mana pulses slightly when I focus on it and I see the different manas mixing within it. But the outer edges are always the most condensed manas which allow us to follow it. Like, we aren't actually walking on it, you know?" Walker had a hard time sharing what he could sense. The manas were flowing from the elemental planes and to the world, then back. Like two people passing the manas back and forth constantly in a game of catch. That passing action balanced the bridge and allowed it to form a proactive layer defending from the chaotic manas that were all around it. Like a tunnel without solid walls. More alike to a magic barrier than anything. The bridge was sealed within itself. But when it came to them walking on it, Walker sensed that the bridge was not actually flat or straight. More like it was pulling them along toward their destination rather than them walking along it. The mana was a flowing thing, therefore, they were now flowing on top of the mana to get to the place that they needed to be. "I get it, we are moving on an isolated stream toward the ocean." Remey likened this to when they were on the ships. They had to make it through the river to get to the ocean. But the oceans were the elemental planes. And the stream of mana that they were taking also went against gravity. Bringing them up mountains and even in to the air. As she described her interpretation, Walker felt that they should write it down as a theory for researchers to follow. Everything that she interpreted made him feel that she was correct. It was simply the slightly child like explanation that made it all work. This came from years of living in the orphanage and teaching the youngest of her siblings at times. Simple education was best for some parts of life. "I wonder why we can't see anything in the distance either? is it because it's like a space teleportation rune formation?" Onyx came out of nowhere with the perfect explanation of why they most likely could only see the vast expanse of flashing manas colliding around them. The chaotic area outside of the bridge was most likely cut off from them by space mana as well as some other more mysterious forces within mana. It actually made a lot more sense to think this way since the bridge also didn't make sense in general. "Since the bridge seemed to make some sort of portal in the air without actually being seen from the back, I would say that's exactly what it is. The runes that formed in the air were all made in space itself, not out of manas that we could sense right away. So the elemental manas must work together with space." Walker felt confident as he spoke. Something within him told him this was right. "Even time might not be affected. I feel like we should be moving at the same time as the world is too. Like time is balanced from the center out maybe?" This feeling was different for Walker. It felt off but not because he was wrong, but because he didn't understand it himself at all. "Brother, don't try too hard!" Midnight offered Walker some support, but before she could lean on him to show him comfort, the sudden heat that hit them made everyone freeze. They were no longer on the bridge surrounded by flashing stars of mana colliding, nor darkness hiding the chaos of manas. Walker took a chance and used the all around appraisal to take a look at where they were. 'Boundary of fire and earth

This is a being that is perfectly balanced between earth and fire mana. While some species of roc are most commonly food within mountains, this is one that was acclimated to the intense heat within the boundary of earth and fire. As a scorched roc, it is able to manipulate molten stones while using the fire mana to fly through the air. The strength of its body comes from the rocky feathers that are smoldering with intense fire mana within. They are also the best defined and a greater offense when fighting other monsters. They are often intelligent enough to hunt along the boundary of earth and fire. They will rarely attack anything that they feel is too powerful compared to them. But they are known for attacking things they are curious about to test them out...'
