Chapter 1949 1949. Spirit Race!
This scene made genesis buzz. So many of the elemental spirits awakening at the same time was a massive sight to say the least. However, many people knew that this would be something that they could pass down to their children and their children\'s children. The day that the elemental spirits become their own race known as the spirit race.
These things were meant to be. The elemental spirits had also been held back by the way that the world was damaged. The manas that flowed was never meant to be their responsibility. Isnetad, they were meant to be the ones close to that mana.
The spirit race uses elemental manas to make up their body. They were the ones that could come together to make unique variations of mana that others could not. They could easily travel through the planes to this mixture of manas that had become the world. A pure balance.
Yet, the world had been damaged. It had suffered and many races had not come to be races as they should. The elemental spirits just being one of the earliest that the world had been able to hold on to.
The diminishing elemental mana flows had caused the elemental spirits to go dormant. A sad sight for the world overall. Now, the damage had been repaired enough to awaken them. But the hero that had been working with the will of the world had damaged to understand enough and awaken even more.
Just enough to fully recognize the spirit race as just that, a real intelligent race. Therefore, it was a major step for the world in combating the corrupted mana causing other mana to go chaotic and dangerous.
With that, the spirit race could pursue their own desires without the constant need to follow the will of the world just to stay functional. They could go about their lives and use their own wills to create vast forests or massive lakes. Places where they could gather their affinity mana together. Places that they could teach others or show the way of mana.
This was their true core. The beings closest to mana would be able to guide everyone toward it while also learning other things from other races. This was Genesis after all. A place where all could come together and share their knowledge. To progress faster and stronger than ever before in history.
Just the simple act of Fleur joining Walker in his actions had made things much smoother. She had also managed to take all the natural mana she and he had attracted to grow stronger. Becoming a race also proved that she was able to take a tougher form.
The natural manas that Fleur used as the body for her will was simple. She could control the natural mana since it was part of her. But now, she would be able to stand closer to the spirit race and as an equal around Genesis.
Regardless of what many people believed, the elemental spirits were technically regarded as less. Simply because they were not a race yet. The same for other monster races. It was hard to understand without having been in the same position as others had.
Due to this, they had been eager to grow. Those with the right intelligence had wanted more but could not step aside from the will of the world. They understood that they were a driving force in protecting it. Now free of that, their collective will had brought the world to the proud decision of announcing a new race.
Doing so allowed them to become stronger in their natural abilities. Form more humanoid bodies to interact with the other races better. All of this was a gift and a freeing of their hard efforts to remain as the balances for mana.
It proved that regardless of the demon lord\'s plans, the world was strengthening. That the races gathering had truly made a massive difference.
Some spirit races could still form bonds with others. They could cause spirit marks and meld with mana gems or cores. This was not going to change. They made their bodies from mana of course! But now, they would also act as their own.
Some of the spirit race could now access their own systems. They could become a spirit mage or alternatively, find mages or other system users to bond with as equal partners. It meant that massive advances in systems would happen too! New and unique systems would appear that required direct bonds with trusting spirit race individuals. A beautiful idea.
"Wake up."
The soft voice that pushed Walker awake was none other than Fleur. She was tired as well, but had recovered some mana before helping Walker recover mana.
He had seen her form when she grew before passing out from using all his mana willingly. Naturally, Walker would have given even more mana if it was needed. However, he didn\'t need to. The spirits had awakened. Some remained by his side to thank him.
The many unique forms of the spirit race were surprising. One earth spirit looked like a snake while another wind spirit took the form of a sparrow. All natural things that had been around them when they had been awake before going dormant.
Their words all mashed together as thank yous and greetings, while some just gave a look before drifting off on their way. Even some darkness and light spirits were quick to flit away after seeing that he had woken up.
"Fleur, we managed to do it. The spirit race has a seat at the Genesis council." Walker groggily celebrated for a moment. He felt that he had been born for moments like this. Moments that would go down in history.
It was a few moments in the now empty storage area built for the dormant elements[p spirits before Walker noticed that not all of the spirit race had left to go off on their own. To explore Genesis and do whatever their hearts called them to do.
Specifically, there were two small spirits. Others appeared to have left them behind, but Walker knew very well what spirits they were.
"One death spirit in a gray small body like a skeleton and one life spirit in a vibrant white and green color with a body like vines. Both of you are the first of your type that I have met. I don\'t know what your manas are about to be honest.I am pretty ignorant. But good morning."
The reaction from both was silence. While Walker had a feeling this wasn\'t anything negative, it was clear that they were somewhat curious. They moved slowly around him while Walker wondered why they took the forms they did.
As unnatural as the undead were, he felt that he was very wrong. He had seen the undead controlled by other monsters so his opinions were off. But naturally, undead could appear anywhere if enough mana was there. So, it made sense that a death spirit might take the form of a skeletal figure. Death was natural and undead were a form of that.
The vines on the life spirit were a clear relationship to new life. Small sprouts that would come together and grow in to larger things. But life also was a mystery. It was a very odd form that could be varying throughout all of existence.
"You are both welcome to come along with Fleur and I to meet everyone. I assume that Fleur might be taking the lead position as representative for the spirit race since she is a nature spirit now." Walker laughed a little before the two started to float beside him.
The slight glow of the spirit marks that Walker had on his back proved that Fleur was communicating with the two spirits. Walker left that as it was while he drank a man potion to help clear the groggy feeling of low mana.
After another minute of deep breathing, Walker left the storage area to find many people above and around the mage tower. Many mages were interacting with the spirit race while some streets had broken out in celebration. Whether Walker knew it or not, the same celebrations had happened when the other races were recognized too. It was a major event.
"It looks like none of us will be sleeping tonight. We have a party to attend." Walker changed his direction and stepped in to the air. He had to head to the Genesis building to let them know of the new race and the other details that might be important.
What he didn\'t realize was that there were many other things going on. The corrupted floating city that had been moving toward the ocean from the Sigil Continent had stopped. The current state of a new race appearing seemed to have some effect on it.
