The progress made cleaning up the hos and the damage from the ice was substantial. It had barely taken a full day with the assistance of the pure ice demons clearing the ice that built up. Not to ntion the additional soldiers that ca to clean along with various builders already on the island.
This was what led Walker to bring the, now thirty, pure ice demons. It seed that Aie, the strongest, was not as well versed in their surviving numbers as Walker had expected. But it was easily explained that so of their people had not even bothered leaving their icy hos because they preferred to gather the mana.
This was just the level of their growth and how they lived. So tis they would go months without seeing another of their kind. There were even tales of the longest ditating pure ice demons appearing and finding that their entire village had moved without them.
While this seed odd to Walker, he felt it was similar to the dragons who could diate or slumber for even years at tis. Judging the pure ice demons in the sa way would be foolish since this was just the way their people worked. Changing their culture was not his goal.
"I gathered all of you here because we are heading to Genesis through this elental tune elent rune formation. It is always hard to handle the first teleportation but you will get used to it." The usage of space mana was shocking to the pure ice demons. They had ever been able to witness it but they had heard of it.
The space elental planes were very rare and those that spoke about them would talk about how those within them could be anywhere and everywhere at the sa ti. A terrifying ideas in the least. This shaped an awe struck feeling when it ca to the tales and the existence of those that could wield such mana.
"Once there, you will be surrounded by guards. We will escort all of you to the Genesis building. Aie will act as your race's representative. You will register while she is brought to the eting with all the other race's representatives. From there, you will then learn more from her as she will remain your representative until she chooses soone to succeed her one day."
A lot of this was not fully understood because they had never seen Genesis and didn't know the benefits or values that ca with all this. However, they believed that multiple races might apply to what they were seeing here.
The soldiers and the people that made up the village on the island were not all the sa. They also clearly had different affinities and were not trapped within one singular elental plane. To them, this was an odd place.
Rumors and stories of the world being a place where manas naturally balanced were proven entirely correct. Now that the pure ice demons saw it, they wondered if this place was so sort of mystical heaven. To be fair, they also could tell that they didn't need to worry about the pressure of incredibly dense water mana.
Their blessing of having very high water affinity was also their double edge sword of risk. They lost their minds if they did not control it enough. Therefore, they all learned that they had to grow ntally tough to handle it. If they failed even once, they would lose it all.
Everyone gathered closer together as Walker added the space mana he could control to the rune formation. He didn't need to do this for normal groups, but since this rune formation needed improvents and he wanted the entire group to appear at once, he gave a push.
He also saw the rest of the party waving since they were able to spend so ti handling the island while he was the one working. He was sure that they would brag later so he made a ntal note to steal so of their dessert from dinner later. It would be his grand evil plan.
Besides his thoughts, the group he was leading appeared in Genesis surprised by armored guards. They were not in battle stances but proved the power of this place. anwhile, the pure ice demons were stunned again.
The many buildings and large number of people were all together shocking. They had never imagined a place like this. They could even feel the various changes in mana as it interacted and flowed. An incredible feeling of energy and health radiated from every corner!
"Let's keep focus. We are following now!" Aie broke them all from their wonder. She was leading them behind Walker while the guards kept them all safe.
They couldn't help but get caught up as scents of food made their way through the streets. The pure ice demons also drew a lot of attention from the public who wondered what was happening to have so streets blocked off.
It quickly turned in to a large rumor and constant gossip. A new race appeared right after warnings of a potential enemy. Was the enemy these people, or were they a new group brought from the elental planes to be allies?
Lucky for the public, a brave kid rushed through the guards and managed to appear in front of Walker. "Hero! What are they!? Who are they? Are they joining us? Can we be friends? What should-"
"Calm down, calm down. You were too full of energy that you didn't even think there might be so danger." Walker lifted the boy up with a little wind mana. "If I were to go tell your race's leader that his little goblins are rushing through the streets and potentially in to danger, what would he say?"
The teasing made the boy's face go a little shade of pale green. "But, you can be the first to know. Today, the pure ice demons hunted a monster that tried to sneak through the bridge to the elental planes. As such, I have brought them to join the Genesis alliance and they will most likely make a ho in the water territories. They should get along well with the water dragons."
Wanting to have a little control over the gossip wasn't a bad thing. Walker knew that the young goblin boy wouldn't be able to hide his excitent. Goblins were born of unique thods and they were adapting to being a proper race now which changed a great deal for them. So, being able to rush around and share a little gossip like this as they grew very quickly would most likely guide this child's class and future. Who knew what he would beco.
"Is this normal for him?" Aie was unsure whether this was how all origin beings acted.
"You're their leader? I'm one of the guard captains. I can tell what you are thinking, but Walker is one of the heroes. He doesn't care about status or anything like different racial biases. He cares about peaceful growth and bringing everyone together more and more. Give him respect, and he will give you respect. Ask for help, and he will guide you to where you can get that help. Just accept the impossible when you are around him."
Aie wondered just what had happened for people to have a grand view of Walker like this. She kept walking ahead though. Her thoughts didn't stop her from being caught by awe when she saw the Genesis building or when she saw the large amount of people waiting to help the pure ice demons register their identities.
"Follow , we will et the Genesis council. Every single race is represented there. We all can explain things to you and we will take the ti needed, so ask any questions you have. It won't be all said and done today, but we can handle things as they co. At the very least, today, your people will have a safer ho."
The warmth in Walker's tone made Aie realize that no matter what happened, she felt trust. Not the sort of trust that ca from those who promised it out loud. This was the kind of trust that ca from an absolute power. A promise from soone who had upheld their words over and over without doubt in themselves for their goals.
"I understand. I look forward to eting them."
This was what Aie said, but when she appeared within the Council room, she felt a great deal of intimidation. The power that all of the leaders of their races had was grand. Almost suffocating. Yet, they were all looking at her, especially the demon race's leader who imdiately understood the similarities in their species.
The conversations could go on for hours, but everyone understood that the newest addition to Genesis was going to take so ti to learn. But that wouldn't be an issue. They all saw the benefits in the pure ice demons joining them.
