Chapter 2648: Chapter 2648

The changes in the colors of light moving through the air like wind along with the color of the grasses made it a strange experience. It felt area would be very easy for anyone with a mirage or light based illusion skill. The light manas being different in color would perfectly allow for more vivid illusions. This would lead to a better ability to hunt.

That wasn't the best benefit that Walker could see through. There was the fact that those who could manipulate each of the certain light manas would find that they could more easily form the light in to a denser and more controlled form. Allowing for spears of light or slashes of light to form quicker and do more damage when fighting. This could be a very violent battle ground.

So much so that the party soon heard the clashing of a fight ahead of them in the grass.

Everyone followed Midnight and Gil's lead, lowering their stance so that they would not be able to be seen above the grasses. This also gave them a better perspective on what kind of fight they were hearing.

There weren't any sounds like metal or weapon on weapon. It sounded like two blunt forces hitting one another making it seem to be monsters rather than some intelligent race or creature using weapons.

When Gil spotted where the sounds were, Walker used the all around appraisal before anyone else could use a lesser appraisal skill that they had gained from a magic scroll. He was still able to get the most valuable information so everyone let themselves rely on that from him.

This lizard is known for the tough and large head that they grow and condense light mana in. They are able to use it to bash in to their opponents and block powerful attacks. Often, they are as strong as their ability to absorb and condense light mana. Hence why they are considered one of the few monsters that will leave the light elemental plane and combat against string defensive earth monsters to prove their defensive strength.

This is part of a mating ritual where the toughest male will show their strength and defense which would allow them to protect the eggs of their young. While they can also absorb different colors of light mana to be able to slightly a;ter the color of their scales, this is not a strength of theirs due to their fine tuned control of light manas being lacking.

They were once monsters that lived within the world but accidentally moved through a bridge to the light elemental planes and began to thrive in the heavily hunted lands due to their strength to fight. They are one of the few monster species better off in the elemental plane due to their battle habits.

They are a monster hunted by the mirage archers of the radiant light elves. While there are few of them, they are the best hunters to target the light shield lizards. Otherwise, the only main predator would be the light gryphons which are rarely seen since they only need to hunt once or twice a month to maintain their strength and growth…'

There was a lot of information, some of which referenced the radiant light elves having class called mirage archer. That had caught Gil's attention and he realized he hadn't been told anything about a mirage archer. "They have to use some sort of illusions to trick their opponent then use an arrow to hit their weak points. I would bet on that." Gil was ready to rush right ahead without Walker's senses to tell him where they had to go. He wanted to see these mirage archers.

"If the radiant light elves traveled through here they might have needed to fight a few of the light shield lizards. Or whatever else is here to fight and prey on everything here." With Su adding in this fact, it made the trip that the radiant light elves take sound a little more devastating for the fact that they might have been harmed.

The radiant light elves had not said anything about those who could have been lost or hurt on their travels. It almost seemed like they acted as if that was something they did not have to worry about at all. That could have just been because the true light sage had allowed for them to pass through safely. It seemed that was the proper answer too since Walker was thinking about what the light king had said.

The party had to experience what the others experienced when traveling through here. Meaning that it was dangerous and there had to be a high cost for failure or just to get here. It was understandable if the light king thought that the party might not value the risks taken to get to the world and meet Genesis.

"We can avoid the fighting between that light shield lizard and the other trying to impress the female hiding in the red grasses over there. It is watching them and trying to make a decision. We don't have to worry about them noticing us. We should worry about the thorns ahead." Gil was ready to push ahead and made sure he warned everyone of what he could see. It was going to be much more important in terms of their travels to get to the radiant light elves' home anyway.

While lost would believe this to just be any other thorn bush, it is actually a plant capable of bringing the light thorn beast, a monster known for using its thorny body to attack prey by enhancing the thorns in its body to cut through prey it would use as fertilizer.

It rarely has enough nutrients to become a monster but when it does it is due to the monsters or prey trapped in it that perish and release light mana for it to grow exponentially on.

Its plant body is densely packed making it a hard bush to travel through and around. Its roots are well protected making it hard to transplant the bushes or when they become a monster tough to kill.

Its flowers are usually empire white and attract more monsters to them, however, they are valuable nutrition to younger monsters due to the dense light mana inside them. They are also used in alchemy to create purification potions or could be used in other ways if harvested and researched more…'

Everyone heard what Walker said and Remey was the first to move. She wanted to see if there were any small light thorn bushes growing that she could have Walker transfer to his multi dimensional storage. From there she could have the herbalists work on whatever was needed to grow and harvest the flowers.

From there the tamer's guild could also join in. They would certainly wish to test how many nutrients was too much causing the light thorn bush to become a light thorn beast. Something that would provide valuable educational knowledge for all plant monsters that develop due to overgrowth or other unique methods of nutrients and mana. Many reasons why plants become monsters are a mystery.

Not to mention the small bits of chaotic manas that will naturally show up in the world. While small it was inevitable now that the bridges to and from the world were intact again. Chaotic monsters can exist anywhere but some herbs and plants seemed to attract and gather chaotic mana better than others. Learning more about the process could educate everyone better both the how and why.

"The thorns will be fine. We have strong enough bodies." Onyx was right, they did have high enough natural defense and light mana resistance so they could travel. But it was the potential for a waiting light thorn beast to be ahead.

This was the path they traveled though. So they began moving. Walker's focus on the mana kept everyone focused where he looked. He could sense some changes that made him avoid larger light thorn bushes. He also picked up a few small rocks that he'd identified as bits of ore or rare light affinity stone.

Otherwise, he only reacted when he spotted something caught in the thorns ahead.

"That's not a monster…" he mumbled right before he saw Midnight leap over the next bush and slash her claws to break the light thorn beast's branches. She'd acted without warning but looking at the injured being in front of them, it made sense why.

The light thorn beast that Midnight had just cut down and was now cooling its branches around its root base in fear had entrapped a smaller slim dragonkin. The white scales had been slashed and blood dropped on the ground. But it was a dragonkin. Something none of them imagined they would see while they were here.
