Days had passed by Genesis as the spirit race began to become just a part of life in genesis. It was very busy since many of the spirits were looking for reasons to go off and explore or to find their own homes.
With so many people being willing to join in partnership with them, it was a lot to handle. But it was also very amazing. Many people had not expected that this would move so smoothly.
Some fear that the angels would be cut out because the spirit race had been treated poorly when the elemental spirits were not fully seen as a race was a worry. But when the angels approached on their own, the spirits did not show any anger or hatred. Instead, there was a unique bond.
Many of the angels realized that the elemental spirits never truly held a threat to them. The elemental spirits had been a way for the world to hold itself in balance. Therefore, the poor angels that had been caught in that were unfortunately. But it was a natural disaster of sorts.
When It came to the elemental spirits that had been isolated and forced to dormant states, they did not hold ill will toward the angels. It also was something that had made it possible for those spirits to wake up again. Especially with the manas fading around the world at the times they had been found.
This had been oddly coincidental. The spirits would have remained lost in wilderness areas without the means to awaken. Instead, they had managed to be forced in to a dormant state and taken to Genesis where they were awakened and even more powerful as their own race and own beings. It was overall a better win.
When it came to the dwarves, there was even more positivity. The intelligent spirits were immediately apologized to by some of the dwarves that had been falsely crafting items using the format elemental spirits. But when it was seen that they were sincere, the spirits did not retaliate.
Instead, the spirits made a move to speak and start to help the dwarves undo their problems. Undo the mistakes that still had some spirits trapped. As this happened over the last few days, things were only getting busier. The bonds were only getting closer.
That was how the first of the major discoveries happened. But Walker had yet to hear of such a thing just yet. Right now, the earth spirits were in an uproar. Not because of something bad, but because they could feel the earth mana shifting like crazy.
Walker soon caught on to this. He had been dragged to speak to multiple representatives earlier and had been about to leave the Genesis building. Since Flaur was resting, he ended up with double duty. He was the one that was bonded with the nature spirit, therefore, he had to stand and help her represent the spirit race. It only made sense. Not that Walker liked the additional work that had appeared out of nowhere.
However, he felt the mana shift when the earth spirits rushed forward. They were some younger spirits since they had greatly begun to awaken and grown when the mana was given to them. But the words that they shared were simple.
"Shaking!"
"Lots of mana!"
"Growing!"
"Hold on!"
These were warnings that something was happening underground. But as Walker tried to want people, he felt the ground tremble.
The shaking of the earth was not the normal earthquake that many people knew. The dwarves in particular could sense the difference. They had primarily lived underground for generations. Therefore, they had developed a sort of sixth sense.
The dwarves that felt the ground shaking was not an earthquake. They knew that when the earthquakes happened, that they shifted the earth mana in a certain way. They moved everything in a? certain way. The trembling was also there for them to know. But this had happened all at once. And the earth spirits had reacted to mana, not to earthquakes that happened much more deeply than this was.
"Wait, Terron!" Walker shouted out. He began rushing towards the underground. But as he did so, the mana was only growing denser. He also saw that there were many dragonkin making moves to guard the entrance of the underground. It was as if they sensed the potential risks that Terron could face.
Before Walker even got in to the tunnels leading underground, he faced a single standing figure. "You will not harm my lord as he undergoes his ritual." The dragonkin was not at all a dragonkin. It was the earth dragon champion that had remained hidden to protect Terron. But he was showing himself for the first time to Walker fully.
"I am not here to harm him and if you were thinking clearly you would understand that these earth spirits followed me to help as well." Walker gestured to the condensing earth mana all around them. It was very easy to see that the spirits were drawing in more and more warth mana. They were looking to assist.
"I need to maintain-"
"You will allow me to pass or I will end you and all the dragons that dare to oppose me. Do not think that I am not strong enough to do so." Walker knew that facing a dragon was not the same as any other race. They understood power and authority. "I am the royal nature dragon. I stand above you and I manage all that is around you. You will not be forced to kneel before me, but you will be forced to learn a lesson.
With a single step, Walker used his skills to manipulate the manas all around the dragon champion. It was suffocating. All of the natural mana forcing the dragon to cease his movements entirely. He couldn't even take his proper dragon form if he wanted. He could sense that all if his mana was not at his disposal.
This force was something that Walker never used. It was a strength that he felt he had after understanding manas to a deeper level. He could use that to overwhelm others. The density of the natural mana he could push all around someone was something their minds and bodies could not grasp. It was very different from stealing away the mana under their control like he had done before.
But the result was more staggering. Because Walker also carried the given title as royal dragon and used dragon skills, his intimidation hit much harder to this dragon champion. Naturally, the dragon was terrified. However, a slight feeling of awe appeared as Walker walked past him like he was unaffected.
The dragon champion understood the massive gap that had formed since the first time he witnessed this human appearing in the royal dragon court. The times he ventured to the depths of the earth to meet Terron. Naturally, this human was not a weak being any longer. He had not expected someone to grow so fast that they would surpass a dragon champion and approach the strength of an older royal dragon.
The results of this were clear as Walker pushed deeper toward where the wyvern queen and Terron had been. As he approached, he found the wyvern queen on guard to protect. But also showing a look of worry. This process was dangerous and she was completely occupied with keeping the cavern created from collapsing. '
The strength that the wyvern queen had was much higher now that she had received some education from Terron. She could hold and manipulate the earth mana much better. She easily held this cavern but keeping the entire massive tunnel also up from damage was taking a toll. She could not do anything else since all the earth mana was drawn to Terron.
The massive shape covered in dense stone was growing deeper and darker. The earth condensing on it was purer as the shell around what Walker knew to be Terron also solidified. It was forming new scales. Draconic runes melding with them as this all happened
This was similar to what Ignus and Remey had done but purely with earth. It was also not separated in any way or form. It was pure earth mana that was reshaping Terron's body. This process had begun when Walker had last seen Terron. But now, it was finishing.
The cracks that appeared as Terron broke out of this state was made faster as the earth spirit shared the earth mana with him. In just seconds, Walker witnessed the new form of Terron in his dragon form. That Terron had gained a lot more than anything that Walker had expected. It was astounding. But even more, was the clarity that Walker could sense in Terron's large brown dragon eyes.
