Master Of None-Chapter 2811. Undead or Monsters...

"Sometimes I wonder what is going through both of your heads." Walker was shaking his head wondering why Onyx and Midnight had dragged a stone to them when they had gotten it from a pile of them.

Small vines and even saplings grew from between piles of collapsed rocks. There were even a few wild thorn rose bushes growing all around some of the larger boulders that had once been a part of this tower. Nature had taken back the area but the stones still lasted and would take quite a few years to break down enough to be called part of nature again still.

’Remnant of the stalwart earth tower

This is a ruin of the stalwart magic tower. It was a prime home of the various forms of earth mages in ancient times. Well known for being the home of those who trapped the ravager ant tide, they also were known for their various uses of earth magic to create a safe haven for the frosted oak mages when their tower was overrun.

This ruin holds various remnants of research and even the remains of ancient mages. It is still guarded by those mages in various forms of magic and undead due to their incredible attachment to survival and protection of their home.

This tower was destroyed by the wandering mountain shell elephant on a rampage...’

"This is the second time we have your appraisal mentioning the ravager ants, should we keep everyone informed?" Walker nodded to Su, if there was a dangerous colony of monsters with the name ravager it couldn’t mean anything good. Even if they were extinct now, it was better to play it safe than sorry later. If there was a later for everyone.

"Mela, this is your turn again. You and Onyx are doing the scouting. Midnight and Walker will be moving the stones over there. Your dolls can fit in the cracks and figure out how much of the underground is left intact, right?" Mela looked at Walker but he just shrugged. Gil was right on the nose with what needed to happen.

However, she was somewhat scared when she saw Midnight take her full dragon form. The size and pressure around her was much greater than before. The cute antics now seemed to be a mask for the power of a proper true dragon champion before her eyes.

"Don’t worry. Midnight is still our cute little sister. She can fight and likes to do so a lot. She also likes sweet snacks and playing with the younger hatchlings and children. She might not chat a lot because she prefers to watch and learn, but she is family and you are part of Genesis, you are someone she would protect without hesitation."

A few calm words calmed Mela before she released her threads and her small mouse dolls again. They darted off exploring cracks and crevices, searching for what may or may not be under the ground they currently stood on.

Everyone had caught on that what they were seeing was just the ruins of what had been the tower above the ground. However, what would make some naturally powerful earth mages with unique and efficient uses of earth magic a force that stood out from others? A force who could save and protect others in a place where everyone was fighting to survive on a daily basis?

They had found ways to use their magic to be able to protect their home, not just in the fact that they could make underground spaces that had dense stones able to keep out the monsters for the most part, but they made it lasting. Through generations of monsters fighting.

That was their key here. If anyone had protected the remains of what lay in their research areas or even materials they gathered, the earth mages of this ancient time would be the best possibility.

Now, Walker and the others understood there was a massive risk here. Not just in monsters which might have moved in to these areas underground, but primarily in the fact that the all around appraisal had warned of undead within these ruins.

Undead were not new to the party, but they were a risk that would come with a lot of danger for the guards and scouting groups moving to meet the party and sit where they could. This was also putting aside the monsters that might be dormant and awakening because of the world returning to the proper flow.

For all Walker knew, a larger portion of this continent had been the same as around Genesis. Shrunken due to the restrictions of space and unbalanced elemental manas.

While this was still hard to grasp in terms of the general public, it had been a point of repair since roads had been broken and needed expansion around Genesis. Yet, it was also a grand opportunity that allowed for the dungeons to return to the world along with monsters. Plants, and even elemental spirits to return properly.

The only issue was that manas could become unbalanced and even chaotic which led to issues needing experts with control over natural mana or balancing skills to ensure that everyone was repaired and working as it should be. If these things were occurring in this massive continent both above the water and below, it would present a greater risk of danger for anyone coming here.

This reinforced the need to understand ancient era existences while also pushing to have some form of mapping, monitoring, and exploration in this massive wilderness. If chaotic manas or corruption ran rampant, then it would present an illness to the very land itself without healing being available if left too long without repair.

"I can help appease any undead within these ruins." It wasn’t surprising that alcie spoke up. Using her songs and light mana would be the best way to help remove the undead within the ruins. However, Walker also didn’t want to risk losing anything associated with them.

"These are undead mages and craftsmen. We might cause damage to the items they still carry or cause damage to any rune formations or magic they are attached to. I want to try and capture them if they appear to be intricately connected to the ruins."

The perspective surprised everyone since Walker was the only one who had considered this. "They had a lot of magic and advanced skills we don’t have because we do not have to fight constantly to survive. They did and it caused them to advance in very unique and potent ways. They did not have a choice but to advance or perish. They would most likely be the supreme power in the world if the elemental planes had not been cut off from the world causing the ancient monsters to run berserk."

Not many of Walker’s party, let alone the leaders of Genesis, had taken this in to consideration. That this continent had a risk they could far outweigh the benefits if not treated properly. Not that he would breed panic by saying so. He would make sure he put everything he had to guide it to the best possible future for everyone.

The slight spark in his eyes was more than just his desires being realized. It was the flicker of time mana resonating even more with him while Walker subconsciously looked at the potential of these ruins and the effects they would have on the people. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"One of the dolls was destroyed." A single thread was pulled back frayed and with bits of wooden splinters on it. Mela also seemed to have some tears in her eyes since she had been deeply connected to the small mouse doll before it was crushed.

"So there are monsters or undead?"

"Undead. It used something to move the rocks in the hallways and smash everything." Mela seemed even more unsettled as the rest of the mice dolls were pulled back.

"So we have some traps controlled by ancient undead earth mages. That sounds super safe. When do we go inside?"

"Really Gil? You just want to rush in?" The lecture that Gil was about to receive from Su was stopped as Midnight started to move some of the larger rocks and ruined boulders. She didn’t hesitate to use her size to make space for everyone to enter. They knew the way and there would be an established camp as soon as the first three squads of guards got here.

Why should they hesitate when they were the best equipped to handle the threats within the ruined earth magic tower?

"Brother, sister and I will take the lead if you do not want to come just yet. Gil and Su can argue here without us." Everyone stopped and began laughing as they realized that Midnight and Onyx had lost patience. They wanted to explore and that was what they would be doing!
