Chapter 2441: 2441. Mental Games



Behind him, Walker sensed three more figures walking out of the shadows. He could tell that they had been hiding and waiting to ensure that the dragons and others well behind Walker would not walk ahead as well.

Su felt that this was a strange area as soon as she walked in. She felt the slight shifts in mana and was prepared to use her shields to defend at any time. Especially since she knew that they had been restricted from doing anything if they wanted to come. However, she did not hold much trust for these witches.

When it came to the fact that all races were allowed in to Genesis, Su had made a lot of mental changes to accept them. Her experiences of finding the middle grounds where she and others could come together had been found in the cathedral.

This was because any who were injured and attempting to find safety and a path forward often showed their true selves. Angry family members in panic for their loved ones, soldiers who wished to defend their fellow soldiers, and even those that did not wish to see the end of their lives just yet.

All of them were the same in the cathedral when faced with injury or illness. That commonplace had been a key for her to unify some races while they exhaled. Just starting conversation has been a boon for them while Su learned about their ever day lives.

She had developed a sense for truth and honesty at a level that was more instinctual. Yet, here, she felt that she was surrounded by more lies and deceit than what she was used to. Call it her distrust or negative opinion, but that was still the way she felt and she knew that Walker and Remey also could tell she felt this way.

What she didn't realize, was that Walker and Remey were picking up on something more.

Su was more physically focused and had not founded her strength in purely mana based aspects of battle of growth. Meaning that when compared to Walker her sense for some manas were weaker even though she had a bond with Midnight and had expanded her affinities to be able to learn all elemental manas.

While Remey could be said to have focused on physical sides of things, she had become an alchemist and focused on certain manas and the sensitivity needed to handle herbs. Adding to the fact that she had changed her race through unique events and means to become a true dragon soul which was not necessarily focused on the physical aspects of her body, she could feel certain aspects as well.

Her soul and body being one entity entirely was something that Walker had been curious about and tried to understand. He knew that it was an aspect that could teach him a great deal, especially when it came to life and death manas, let alone undead or just how manas came together in more than just a physical sense of the world.

The mumbling and talking out loud increased and it was clear that more mana in the air was because some had taken interest in Remey.

Naturally, they must be curious about the strange girl who was more focused on herbs than the fact that she had been brought her to speak with the leaders of the twelve covens. It would be that way for anyone, but this was just the way it was for Remey.

She hadn't forgotten their reason for being here, but they had to walk and follow some lead to that place. Meaning that she could let her mind focus elsewhere while doing so. And if that added knowledge about herbs to her, then so be it. That would make her a better alchemist. "Remey, those twigs in the dirt there are transplanted trees, they will only grow to be about four feet tall but have been bred to give off more seeds. It's called a witch eye seed because they match the manas that a witch who plants them and gives seeds that can be used as a catalyst for unique potions, magic spells, and other methods witches use. You might want to ask about them later."

Showing that Walker could identify these things out loud was also a play. He knew that the witches would take notice and would begin to understand that their illusions were nothing in his eyes overall. That even with some truths hidden, he was able to gather deeper information than what they could even realize.

While a little sneaky to say this and let them play guessing games in their minds about what he had already learned, Walker internally knew that it was fair since he was still curious to how all this worked. Just the pressure he felt from those unseen listeners and watchers was more than what he expected.

The risk of these twelve covens was higher than what he desired to deal with since he could grasp the potential if they did not become proper allies or could not see eye to eye at the very least.
