"Maybe we should have assumed this would happen?" Sue was sure that they had missed this and if they had noticed this, they would have saved a lot of time. "Well, what were the odds out of all the runes carvers, that there would ab e a light rune carver and a dark rune carver who were already creating new light and dark runes perfect for this?" Walker also felt a little foolish. He had not even thought to ask if anyone had classes specifically for light and dark elemental runes, Not that this was a big deal right now. They had managed to find two people that could lead the efforts within the light and dark dragon villages respectively. Their position would be to ensure that the runes would be mapped out and carved perfectly. This seemed like a larger job than it really was, especially since there were so many people working on this project. Many who were already working on it right now. The land had to be prepared to accept the runes instead of being full of rougher terrain due to rocks, greenergy, or monsters that had snuck in through patrols. But what made Walker and Su even more embarrassed, was that this pair of rune carvers were totally fine with waiting through all the interview to get here. They both were not known to one another, yet had perfectly peaceful and calm attitudes. The two were clearly made from the same mold. The reason this would not be that big of a job at all, was simply because of the massive amount of assistance. Every experience rune carver did not need to be micromanaged. They would be able to work fine without someone pushing them at all times. Therefore they would geta a lot done exactly as needed. The two rune carvers also had the communication skills that came with a boon in testing smaller light and dark runes right then and there. They had begun doing so after they had been told that they were perfect for this job. Hence, they were making progress already. Mordant was looking at a small dark rune that was made to reflect the shadow aspects of the dark mana. Able to show off the flowing of a tree's shadow in the wind, at least that's how he felt about the rune at least. The same could be said for Rise as she looked at the white glowing runes representing the sun. It was a similar pattern but somehow rougher than what she had seen of light runes before. Where that was not a surprise though, was when she sensed how the light mana flowed through the light rune. Instead of breaking or being slow, the rune forced the mana to gather much more quickly. It would be ideal for this purpose. For her village. The small rune patterns were making a naturally repulsive gathering of manas. The light and the dark were pushing against one another because they were not being guided in any way yet. But the density of these testing runes were very impressive. "We will have you two begin making the blueprints for the entirety of the rune formations. Light and dark will need to be left partially completed and finished at the same time. That means specific sections that will not channel mana until they are all connected at once." Walker knew that this was the difficult part. But just as he said this, he could see that the two were already working on it. The eccentricness of any artist or craftsman was unique to them. But these two appeared to be following in the style of the wandering blacksmith. They had not spoken much, but they were showing their worth with their work in a very efficient manner. Right this second, they had already shown how to break up the runes they had just demonstrated. The five spaces that were broken were enough to stop the flow of any manas at all. Beyond that, there was not a single bit of other manas being attracted due to this. The worry that the broken rune formatons would starcraft other manas and ruin the flow entirely was a very real potential. Especially since the shapes of runes were very important. There was always a way to make a rune improperly or in general create a dangerous rune that caused too much mana to flow at once or an explosion. This was why there were ruins that had such broken runes and were in turn considered very dangerous. If the runes were activated, they could collapse the entire ruins. Hence why Walker and his party had been lucky not to encounter ruins with many damaged runes. Only broken and inactive runes due to the age of the ruins. Not that they wouldn't encounter this in the future. they just hoped that they would not. While the tow rune carvers continued on, Mordant and Rise began to gather the mages they needed. Walker and Su were left to figure out whatever else would be needed. They could tell that when the rune formation was made, that there would be a larger effect. Because of the proper flow of manas, the natural mana would become denser. It would create a massive rune formation that was much greater than what other rune formations had ever been. Even the ancient cities that they had been to where evidence of the entire city being carved with runes, would be smaller. "We will have a lot more work to do after this all comes together, won't we?" Su sighed as she saw that Walker was mentally preparing himself. "We are probably starting the world to help engrave these runes tonight. Those two are just like the wandering blacksmith." Walker felt that he was moving too slow compared to what the world around him was moving at. But every single thing he did was a little more experience. A little more of a step forward toward being back on the top of his game. While the two took the time to relax a little and help where they could without putting themselves in the forefront, the time for Walker to be the one at the center gradually came up. He was the best at manipulating and drawing in natural mana. While some would argue that the echidna were the top of all this, that was frankly not try any longer. Since Walker had accepted the manas and his bonds to change his race in to the origin race, he had gained a lot. He was now much more sensitive to natural mana and better at manipulating it than others. Even the echidna. With his strength as it is now, he was still able to play a key role in ensuring that the natural mana that formed when these runes were completed would not be chaotic. Instead, he had the in depth understanding that would allow him to push the manas to flow normally with the new rune formations as a whole. There were more rune carvers over the past few days who had been helping. the other dragon villages. Their rune carvings were a little more focused since they had already caused a proper flow the moment that the mountain had been raised. Now with the fact that Su could focus on the light side and Onyx showing up to assist Mordant with the dark side, Walker found the exact position above the mage tower where all the maas could interact. The perfect middle where the manas would eb able to be focused better while using the mage tower as a catalyst for the flow to get better organized. Since he was one of the only ones that was able to get to the top of the mage tower, the other mages with natural mana affinities or ability to touch upon it, mostly echidna, were at the bottom of the tower. They would be lending their mana and their manipulation skills to this endeavor as well. It was a major way to show support for the dragons as a whole since they had made their achievements seem smaller in the grand scheme of founding Genesis. They had offered to protect it and followed Walker through multiple battles. Now the people would help return that favor to them. Especially after the battle against the demon lord where some had been injured. "Fluer, are you ready for another test of our natural mana control?" Walker looked at Fleur who had been floating restlessly between Walker and the edge of the mage tower. She had been waiting for this moment all day. She would much rather be exploring the city and enjoying it. This was a major task though. it would allow her to gain a lot more natural mana. That meant an ever more solid body. A greater strength.  …
