Chapter 2282: 2282. Ruins Hunter



"Where were the ruins found?" Walker gave his full focus on this matter. He could stay away for weeks at a time with the strength that he possessed. Why would he put this aside? Especially with how important it is to Onyx right now.

His focus on this matter allowed Onyx to relax a little. That alone was enough for Onyx to remain focused on what he had come for. The details were already memorized since Onyx had been amazed to find who and how the ruins had been found.

Three of the abyssal serpents had gone to explore. While they were still young, they had desires to become explorers. Their classes are called ruin hunters. A few others have discovered the very same class since they want to find ruins of the past."

Onyx's pride in the three serpents that had gone off with their ruin hunter classes was clear. Walker also wondered what sorts of skills that a ruin hunter would have. Especially if those classes helped in discovering, understanding, and gathering everything about ruins.

There were plenty of ruins hidden away from ancient times up until now. The world had not been a calm and easy place to live in the past.

"The ruins were found on the edge of the mountains right before the desert. The rocks there were broken after the expansion of the world with the return of mana flow. So, the crags and deeper crevices were their access to the ruin which had been sealed by earth and time."

"It makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't expect that some of the ruins we will find will just remain hidden after the world changed again. Some might even be reopened because the world returned to its proper everything." The theory was sound and many people had already expected such things.

The world had been reduced in a way. Unable to be its full potential because mana was lacking. Hence why the dragons and other races had been declining in a sort of way. Their strength was lower because they could not rely on the higher amounts of mana which they needed to properly function.

Right this moment, plenty of unique landscapes had expended in to a larger and more dangerous place. There might not have been as many monsters since they would not

spontaneously appear, but as time went on, that would change.

The environments certain monster species and plant species had needed were returning. This meant that as time went on, there would surely be more of those plants and monsters. It would make certain wilderness areas much more dangerous. But also more bountiful for many people to explore. It was a balance of sorts.

Also a perk of expanding the magic towers. The teleportation formations that could be set up at those locations would allow for easier traveling. In turn, that would allow for easier gathering of materials or young adventurers to grow more quickly.

The issue was that they couldn't just move through the shadows and appear within the ruins. Doing so would massively disturb the area and also bring a lot of dark mana around where they appeared. Not to mention that Mordant's full dark dominator form appearing there could cause a collapse within the ruins due to his size.

So, the distance that they appeared when Mordant had used enough dark mana and moved far enough, was still large. They would have to travel in to the mountains which overlooked part of the expanded desert.

Whoever, the moment that they came outside of the shadows, Walker was stunned.

The sheer size of these mountains and the large cliffs was easily doubled from what he remembered from the last time he was within this area. The sand dunes were also larger, but they did not appear as evil or expanding as they had been. The sands felt as if they were a part of the world and balanced this area better. There were even many cacti growing in the distance from what Walker could tell.

These were good signs that the changes as the mana flow returned to the world were all as they should be. However, he also understood that this made traveling much harder. For the average adventurer, no matter the race, this would be more difficult to traverse. Even those who could fly would struggle since they would have to deal with the lack of ability to see within the cracks and shadows of rocks.

"Onyx, we will follow you while Mordant focuses on gathering some dark mana again. And Mordant, I see what you were saying. I will be focusing on your problems next. We will figure it all out sooner rather than later." With this, they began moving again, this time towards one

of the larger outcroppings of rocks. A larger cliff broken off from the mountains.
