'Space trap starfish

This is a massive spatial monster. It is often seen as clear because it can displace the space that it exists within. However, because it does that it causes massive warping to the space arid it. Hence why it hides within the space elemental plane for the majority of its life where space is often unbalanced.

It will use the space mana that radiates from its mouth to trap multiple prey at once. When it has the need, it will consume them and take the spatial mana within them. As a result, the space mana cuts up the bodies of the prey which falls and often degrades around it.

Each long arm or tentacles can be cut off and a smaller space trap starfish can grow. However, it can never grow as large as it had once been causing it to eventually become too small to feed and perish.

They are monsters that will eventually lay a thousand eggs. Only two or three will be able to absorb the appropriate amount and density of space mana due to them shifting through various spaces while in the egg form due to the condensed space mana within the egg before hatching. They often end up in places that they should not be.

If someone is to eat part of them, they have a higher chance of gaining space mana affinity, but they also risk having the space mana within their bodies break down. Causing them to lose parts of their body or worse, having their body torn apart buy the mana within them...'

Walker knew that there were either small details he could reach about this massive monster. He was surprised that it had so many abilities using just space mana. It didn't teleport nor did it use the mana to attack with blades as he had first thought.

Unstead, it just exerted pressure by opening its mouth and trapping prey. Many different prey at tha. Like a large next being cast, it explained why the size was so large. Something surprising though, was that the party could see it now. Alright silver hue had appeared as it was no longer using the space mana to hide its body. Somewhat reflective, the space trap starfish moved its long tentacle like arms to grab skeleton warriors. The reason that they had been trapped was that the immortal king did so to keep himself protected. He had sacrificed many of his undead to this monster which he most likely could not fight against due to the lack of space mana understanding.

The immortal king had learned a great deal about all manas. He had added to the bodies he built and controlled to manipulate all elemental manas and clearly had used natural mana to even escape to another body and leave the original body behind. But space, time, and other manas were lost to him.

That was why he pursued death mana. It was the only mana the immortal king had learned about along with also being able to teach if need be. The more of it he got, the better he might be able to build a body that was even more powerful than what he had before.

Walker could also sense the unsettled manas ahead. The immortal king had clearly used a lot of mana to push away from this area and head right in to smaller elemental planes that had yet to fuse with the larger elemental planes which were already more established.

"Do you think that all these boundaries are like this because Origin race beings are bringing them back and letting them slowly mix with the other planes?" Since Su had noticed that Walker's mind was occupied, she took a guess at why.

"I was just thinking about that a little. But I am more worried that we might see other monsters like that." if they did run in to another dangerous monster, they might not be as lucky to have the immortal king foot the risk for all of it. Especially if it is a monster that developed specifically to trap their prey like that. Walker knew he would be unable to resist the space mana like that.

"We might find the immortal king eaten or defeated already." Since they were not dead and had survived, Remey felt that she could just accept the positive.

"I think we can only hope for that." Gil pulled his bow and fired an arrow in to the distance. The sound of a distant shattering proved that the immortal king was still leaving skeletons behind. A problem that came with the massive undead he rode on. The undead that had been influenced and was being changed more and

"Brother, there is a powerful light mana ahead clashing with a powerful dark mana. Can we look at it? There might be a monster fighting the undead." Since it was Onyx speaking for the first time in the last while, Walker knew that while meditating Onyx had to have picked this up. He also noticed a slight surge in mana from Опух.

It appeared that Onyx had taken very well to the more powerful light mana he could get here. Even in his smaller form with the majority of his body held in the shadows, his scales shined with a little more light and even had a dim glow of dark mana.

This meant that Onyx had been getting everything he needed. Becoming more acclimated to the denser manas that he needed as someone balanced in both light and dark manas. If he had not come here, he might have still been stuck in the strength that he had. Now he was certainly more powerful than what he had ever been before.

Ahead though, the clashing manas made Walker wonder if it was really the immortal king. Why would he be using just dark mana? And the immortal king didn't use light mana often, or at all from what Walker understood. He relied on the death magic he knew. Or he sent the undead to preserve his mana.

A skeleton covered on a cloak of torn dark fabric was standing face to face with a smaller figure. Scales covered the body of the figure but they were slim and clearly holding back. More like they were using this to play a game.

'Elder skelton dark mage

This is a very old skeleton mage which was acclimated to dark mana and had all other manas that were not required removed from it. As such, it was able to regain some of the skills it had in life. This was one of the skeletons of the immortal king's attendants.

It wields powerful dark magical attacks which can decay large areas easily. It also can use dark mana to recover its body partially since it has been perfectly acclimated and boosted by dark mana affinity materials. Lacking the intelligence to have its own personality, it will constantly follow the last order given. If that means war, then it will fight until it is no more if need be. That is often the case as it will use the remaining mana hidden within its bones to explode with decaying dark mana if it is about to perish completely.

It also wields a powerful dark affinity magic staff which was created from the bones of a weak dark dragon...'

Walker hoped that Midnight had not seen the fact that a dark dragon's bones had been used to make the mage staff the elder dark skeleton mage used. She might not be happy to see that a dragon's bones had been used. Not that she was worried about that aspect, more about what was using it. A being that had once been part of evil experimentations and now was used as an undead.

The other scaled being was more like a humanoid. But the slim scales and long lithe tail proved that they might not be. The entire party was wondering if they should let that being play with the elder skeleton dark mage, or if they should help. But to be fair, they might not even be needed.

Small triangles of light floated about shooting down every dark mana based magical attack. It was like a game. Easy and just using basics. Even more, they seemed to also sense that this powerful being was also able to fight fist to fist if they wanted to be able to, but they chose not to.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Don't worry, they are going to win. Then we might have to have a bit of a conversation since they know a lot about what we might want to know" Walker was looking at Su, Midnight, and Remey the most. Gil had a feeling he knew what this might be about. Especially since they had just learned about others of their kind.
