Chapter 2399: 2399. Gray Serpent



'The skill, Gray Serpent lord has awakened, the world welcomes the one with the first title, The Gray Serpent Lord. Existence notices...'

A perfect halt of light and dark mana flowing around the entire area caused Walker to panic. He had not noticed such a massive change in mana and did not think that the monster he had sensed ahead could be something this powerful. Even Alice grew pale when she realized the light mana had stopped moving naturally toward her.

That never happened. The light mana always stuck to her whether she liked it or not. It was a thing that had always made her unhappy or struggled in the past. Yet here she was, wondering just what was going on while she worried about Aurora and Onyx being in greater danger.

"We need to move faster I have no idea what is going on but I don't like it." With Walker pushing them forward, Gil found that he was being kept behind in all this. Mordant also did not say much. Just casually walked behind them.

While he did feel the threats associated with the sudden halt of light and dark mana, he didn't feel threatened by it specifically. He could sense that the mana was targeting another ahead. His instincts told him it was dangerous, but that danger was not turned toward him.

In Walker's mind, he was forgetting that anyone by Alice was right besides him. The others at the camp with the serpents or Mordant and Gil were entirely out of his mind. That was simply his focus on making sure that he got to whatever dangerous battles were ahead.

When he looked through the large standing pillars of stone ahead, he noticed that another figure had taken up. One that he both recognized and didn't.

An oppressive gray mana radiated around, drawing the light and dark mana together to sharpen scales. The slight glimmer of light and dark runes mixing together on those scales struck Walker as something nearly impossible since he had never seen two naturally occurring runes mix together in to one. Let alone form temporarily on the body of something.

The size also shocked Walker. It was surely Onyx in front of them, but his size was easily double that of what he had been before. The mana around him was also exceptionally oppressive. Like he had taken control of it and desired for all others to understand exactly who was in control. That this is his territory and no other had a right to speak against that.

In a single movement, the gray mana flew out in brutal blades of piercing and decaying might. The light was tearing away the defensive manas from the shadow light ape while the decaying mana was breaking down the body. The physical and mana resistance it had was as good as wet paper right now.

Multiple light and dark mana spears appeared all around Onyx. He looked down at the shadow light tape as if he was looking at nothing more than just a wandering monster in his way. The light and dark spears shot down at the shadow light ape mixing together and becoming chaotic gray which screamed through Walker's mind.

The mana was intentionally made chaotic but somehow still maintained balance. Instead of breaking one another apart, the mana was mixing to enhance one another and make it more destructive. Both aspects of piercing light and decaying dark had been heightened this time in these gray mana spears being used to destroy an enemy.

The world was a strange place and this place in particular was stranger still. But he also felt a hand on his shoulder telling him that his amazement had to end. Now he and Alice needed to reprimand the pair who had rushed off.

As soon as Alice took a deep breath all the young serpents tried to retreat in to Onyx's shadow to hide but they found they were locked. Onyx was making sure they stayed around to hear the

same reprimand as he and Aurora got.

They had all been in this together after all.

All things aside, Mordant and Gil felt that they had rushed here without reason. They could have kept working on other things.

Not that there were no other benefits. Gil felt he could make better light and dark or even gray mana arrows now. Mordant just wanted to learn about natural dark mana. Both good things.

Plenty could be gleaned from the final hours in this dungeon before they were forced out. Walker knew that once he finished this talk and saw that everyone was injury free, he could sit with Onyx and meditate. Learn a thing or two.
