Master of none - Chapter 2305: Flight Plans

The land that they had scorched and froze was recovering well enough that Alma only stationed a few of the elves to guard it. She just wanted to have her people there who could ensure that there would not be anything that threatened the growing grasses.

To be fair, a few of the other representatives also did the same.

Besides that, once the fifth sweep had been done after the sprouts were growing, the soldiers had prepared to return along with the representatives.

They all had their own plans now which had been discussed in their meeting.

Many of the tasks at hand were important for the future of the city along with the alliance as a whole.

Walker was still focused on Ignus and his preparations though. They had a bit of a distance to travel to get to the expanding volcano.

As much as Mordant, Ventus, Current, and Terron wanted to follow them, they had their own focuses right now. The only one who had not said a word about what should be done was Rise.

She had been fairly silent compared to her usual self.

Yet, it made a lot more sense.

She was a light dominator dragon. She had her own opinions of what should be done.

And right now, she was focused on the fact that the volcanic smoke was causing some areas not to get any light mana at all. While her dragonkin could handle other issues within Genesis, she had decided to work separately.

This left Ignus and Walker to speak while flying through the air. Ignus knew that flying to the volcano and the magma fields was better for him in his dragon form, so that’s the method he chose.

The others would come behind him so that they could follow the same method that Su had done.

Having a base camp set up was extremely valuable for those who were injured while handling the dangers of the false rats and blade flies.

It was also a good place to set up their plans as everyone had gotten the information about the dangers that they had faced right away.

“You should understand that there won’t be many that can follow me to support whatever is within that volcano.

Even if it is a naturally appearing fire rune, no one can handle that amount of fire mana.” it was clear that Ignus felt there would be too much danger for the others coming to deal with this issue.

The volcano was already a place of danger. The fire elves had lived there since it had fire mana which they needed.

But over time their population had decreased and they had suffered due to other issues. Regardless, the knowledge about the area from the fire elves and Ignus was enough to know of many dangers within the area.

What they didn’t know, was if the same monsters and other risks would still be prevalent, or if they had gotten worse. That was why the entire magma fields area which had expanded would need to be searched with a high level of scrutiny.

“We will have monsters that we saw which have changed. I can sense it.”

This was outside of what Walker expected from Ignus. He wouldn’t say that Ignus was one to believe in a gut feeling like this.

“Why do you think that?”

“Monsters I have not seen for a few years or when I was smaller. They were never gone, just so few that I did not see them within the lava pools or crawling through the half cooled rocks.

They should be taking advantage of this and living well now.”

Walker was still trying to get over the fact that Ignus was being sentimental.

The fact that he was worried about the area in which he had his village before Genesis was important. The dragons moved around to the best places to gather their affinity mana.

Meaning that they were always very attached to these places. But for Ignus, it clearly was a little more than that.

“It’s a good thing if these rarely seen monsters are able to recover and be seen more often. But I should know what to watch out for.

”

“The obsidian scale karp, it swims in the lava and uses that to temper its scales. Volcanic tortoises are like small volcanoes and can grow to the same size as an elder fire dragon.

Smog sparrows, they enjoy the smoke from the volcanic pools or cooling magma. They are toxic and have wind and fire affinities.

”

All three were monsters that Walker had only ever read about. He had never seen a single one.

He could understand why though, as the mana of the world had lowered, they would naturally have disappeared. And since Ignus had lived for a long time, he most likely had seen them when he was a hatchling but not as he grew to become the royal fire dragon that he was now.

“If we can find them, I will make sure that we take note of their habitats. We can make sure that they are thriving before anything else happens.”

A small growl came in response. It was Ignus’s approval.

“Anf Rise, can you come down here and join us?”

She had left before them, but clearly, she had been waiting for them before she went off to check ahead in the area covered in clouds of smoke.

“I knew you would sense me in whatever form I was in.”

She had remained in her dragonkin from after the events of the mirrored hills. Yet, she was clearly worried over something.

“We were just discussing a thing or two about monsters we might encounter. Things will be dangerous, even for you in the skies.

With all the toxic smoke and ash, you will need to be more careful and use more purifying light magic.” Leaving his tone casual, Walker made sure that Rise would not take any offense to what he was saying.

She had a strict personality after all.

“I will be fine.

I wanted to hear about your thoughts on an area covered in poisonous darkness not caused by a growth in dark mana.” This was the crux of her thoughts right here.

Ruse was a light dominator dragon. She would naturally believe in her ability to clean and purify an area with light mana.

Yet, she would also worry about the ability to do so if she was facing nature itself.

What Walker had learned though, was that even with her strict personality, she did in fact care greatly about the world and those she defended.

She just had issues with controlling those things and going a little too far. If the lands around the volcano were covered in shadows due to the smoke constantly coming from the volcano.

, she might fear that many would perish, monsters or not, within those lands.

“The plants could die completely without the right amount of light.

Any monsters or villages nearby could also perish or become ill. Many will need to leave the area since they won’t find any food there at all.

That’s if they can handle the ash and the smoke in the air. They might perish from that within the month if it continues to expand.

”

Ignus huffed a little in agreement since he also believed these to be the events which would occur during this volcanic expansion.

“The lands of fire and magma are not a safe and easy place to live.

You have seen my villages in the past.” Ignus’s words were to agree with Walker.

“I can use enough light mana to hold the dangers back. I can also make Ventus come and clear the air with fresh air.

Change the wind currents for a short while. Evacuate any and all who need it.”

She was also thinking of the force she could use as a dragon. A few well times roars could scare any monsters living in the lands nearby away from the volcano.

Saving them from

The danger.

“I won’t stop you from doing any of that.

As long as you can handle it without putting yourselves in danger, you and Ventus should be able to create a lot more opportunity for evacuations and safety. You can also have Ventus bring some alchemists to make purification potions and antidotes.

They might also find some chances to save herbs or other plants from the unexpected situation.”

A slight nod was the only response from Rise before she flew away and began to drift ahead of them.

“That is one less worry for us. We can focus on the volcano instead of worrying about anything or anyone living nearby.”

Ignus saw this as a way to focus on the main issue. Walker couldn’t agree more to that.

He knew this might be more difficult than he expected.
