Chapter 2241: 2241. Rushing Mana

The only issue was that when the people came to deliver them, they brought with them their own mana. Everyone radiated some mana, it was inevitable. Without the highest control of mana within their own body, their mana would seep out causing them to leave mana behind.

In turn, that mana would be absorbed by the partial natural rune causing damage to the process which Walker Was trying to control. If he lost focus at this point while talking to someone, then there would be issues with the partial rune most likely causing the mana it was made of to shoot out damaging the areaa massively. Hence why Gil was in charge right now.

The reason that Gil was changing the placing of items was not simple. It was about how the natural rune was formed. It needed certain manas to anchor themselves in a way that allows them to flow better. If it was not a natural mana rune farming, and one singular elemental rune forming, then it would not be as dangerous. It would also require fewer materials.

This larger number of materials made things harder since the manas within them needed to be perfectly aligned so that they would not break the goal that Walker was trying to accomplish. As such, Walker was also following the start of making the smaller mage

extension tower.

The stones holding denser earth mana that Terron were able to bring had been carved so that they could be placed in a circle. The herbs that carried higher fire mana and could grow in the stone were from a mountain area where volcanoes burst in to life. The water steel brought was able to channel water mana without channeling any earth mana, a rare material but perfect to the large nails used to hold this base together.

Furthermore, as the windswept ash was poured over everything, the wind mana that had replaced the fire mana within over years of being swept through the wind currents acted as a balancer for the other materials. It all came down to the dark and light sands being used to fill the cracks of the stones before the fire herbs could take root.

This round of materials had become the base, that was the goal, but that meant the partial naturally forming rune would not collapse as it became connected to the materials taking shape together. There was also the fact that as Walker used those materials, he was pushing the manas together in a balance.

His mind was under heavy strain due to all this. Much higher than when he had been training to learn to make natural mana in the first place. Simply because the density of the manas he was using was growing by the moment.

The longer this took, the more that this partial rune would take in manas. As such, Walker needed to ensure that he was able to keep that from happening in a way that would cause a break down. There was a moment where he thought of retracting the light, dark, and fire manas. That way he could create a natural rune using just earth, water, and wind.

He also considered doing the same so that the rune would only be earth, water, and light. That way it might mix with the forest better. However, any attempt to do so set of instinctual alarm bells. His skin crawled just thinking that he could do those things. Whether it was an instinct as an origin being or not didn\'t matter. It was there and he listened to it.

This was why he was currently holding on to the manas around and stopping them entirely from flowing toward the partial rune. He knew that a rune forming naturally was rare and important. Also that it would almost always be a singular or even a dual elemental affinity rune. But this was forming whether he liked it or not. So he had to make sure the balance was perfect.

The manas being held back against the partial rune forming was tough. It pulled against Walker\'s control and tested him. This tug of war was not something he could keep up forever, yet, it was working.

The longer he did this, the more that he saw the mana within the partial rune calm and meld together. It was being forced to rotate and mix in a more balanced manner which would create a proper natural mana rather than the opposing chaotic form of natural mana without balance.

While his sense of time began to drift away, Walker was certain that the more he focused on this the better the results would be. He was even making the manas being gathered which he had held in place mix too. He was making natural mana and even attracting the attention of weak elemental spirits. The spirit race had not stopped them since the elemental spirits naturally felt a need to help.

A hard cracking sound suddenly echoed through Walker\'s mind. He realized that he hadn\'t lost control of the manas around him, but that he had just stopped holding them. He hadn\'t consciously done it either. It was an instinct again. It felt right and he had done it before his mind could catch up and stop him.

All the gathered natural mana he had held back rushed in to the partial naturally forming

rune.

Where he expected an explosion of mana or damage, he did not find it. Instead, he felt a suction which drew even more mana toward him. It was even seemingly resonating with the rune formations all around Genesis. Mana was being directed right to the rune.

The sudden resonance with his own heartbeat made Walker focus with his mana senses at a level which he shouldn\'t have been capable of after holding the manas back for so long. Yet he managed.

The washing of mana through his body made Walker feel like he was taking a step forward. He could feel the ways that manas came together naturally. Not just how they melded together, but why they pushed each other away and how it gave birth to unique environments.

How the flow of life and death touched upon natural mana to cause both the growth and the breaking down of an ecosystem in cycles. How some areas surrounded by deserts could one day become vibrant green while another area begins to corrode in to a wasteland.

It was all a balance that he could sense at a much grander level than that of which he had sensed before. Everything was opening his eyes to a new nature of each elemental mana and how it worked with each other.

That was until he was snapped out of those thoughts to see a gleaming rune forming above overgrown herbs and melded together materials to make a base for the small magic tower extension. It was almost like a crystal showcasing various smaller runes which were never there long enough to grasp.

A fountain of knowledge was right there to learn from. However, Walker had a sneaking feeling that it would not just give away that knowledge. That it was sitting there in waiting for the right people and the right time to share the knowledge it had.

"That\'s it, isn\'t it. That clear crystal has a natural rune in it. And a natural mana rune to boot." The way that Gil was seeing it, this naturally formed rune was an oddly clear crystal that floated over a very strange stone base. It was surrounded by a lot of herbs that were very overgrown. It was also being focused on by various spirit race members who were exceedingly happy to see it.

"You can\'t see the runes forming inside it and moving around constantly?" Walker had not imagined this to be the case. But he also understood that the world was full of mystery. So was existence itself. So, why would it be easy to see these things.

"Nothing at all. I should have guessed you\'d see more. I bet it\'s mana sense and the whole, I

can do anything, thing that you have going on." Gil looked at Walker and offered him half of a sandwich. "That took you nine days straight of not moving and controlling mana, you should

be hungry."

The moment that Walker heard this, he felt the aches in his joints and a massive amount of fatigue hit him. "I\'m there with you." Gil sat down where Walker had just fallen on his own butt. He had been there making sure he watched over Walker this whole time. Now they could both rest.
