Chapter 2181  2181. What is Death?

There was no going against what Walker said. They were heroes, yes, but dying while forcing themselves forward would leave their legacy as nothing but a foolish death where they did not take in to account their own well being. All the work they could do would be lost. Not to mention that they would not succeed in defeating the immortal king. As they all felt the higher energy within them, they did not hesitate to take positions to move forward. Su took her normal position at the font while Midnight and Remey took the sides. Onyx remained on Walker\'s shoulder with his head turned to watch their backs. Gil next to Walker to fight from range using his arrows. Walker would be their magic attacker along with also keeping his appraisals ready to give them the edge in battle. They had used this formation so many times that it was natural to them. It made them better in every single fight. That was how a well trained team could work. They trusted one another with their roles and their lives. The death elemental plane felt odd. Not warm, but not frigid as they thought it might be. There were strange whispers. More like unintelligible voices speaking from the depths of mist. Shapes formed out of manas before dissipating. Nothing real, but just like moving clouds.

Walking was odd as well. They were not on solid ground, but more so moving through the concept of solid ground. Or at least that was what Walker could describe it as. It was the best way to make sense of how they were walking through it. This elemental plane proved to be barren and very full at the same time. It was only a moment before they saw what could have been a tree, but the tree was changing. It was more like they had watched it turn from young to old and fade away before they reached it. "This entire place feels like an illusion, but we aren\'t actually hallucinating." Gil\'s feeling was spot on since he was so used to using his keen eyes to help the party spot different things here and there. "You say that, but what about the grass and other herbs at our feet? They are here but then they aren\'t. It\'s frustrating." Remey pointed at a shape of what could only be a small mushroom, but before she could reach down, it had turned to mana and disappeared. "They aren\'t illusions though. It\'s just that the entire death plane is unique. It\'s hard to grasp. Hard to understand." Walker had some more understanding than the others. So did midnight. The two reached down and grasped at what the others saw as nothing. But when Midnight moved her claw and Walker moved his hand, they had both grabbed gray grass leaves and shown them to Remey. "It\'s called wilting grass. It absorbs death mana causing everything enable it to die. But it can be used to clean an area of even the smallest living things. Basically, it will purify a cauldron in a way that you can\'t do normally. Especially if you aren\'t able to use heat to do it." Walker would record the information for Remey later. But he clearly understood now. The death elemental plane required you to understand it better to influence it. The herbs, the plants, and surely the beings here were complicated. They could not be interacted with unless they were understood. So while the manas shifted, Walker and Midnight would be the best guides there were when it came to the party.  .… n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
