Chapter 2393: 2393. Dance Of Light And Dark
"Stay back a little while I check this area." Onyx was the one taking the lead. Not because he was entirely worried about the dangers, but because if there was a danger he wanted to be the one that took on the danger himself. He knew that if one of the younger sperents was harmed that it would break the morale of everyone.
He also was using his high ability to sense the dark and light mana around. He could feel the balance was very unique in comparison to any other place he had been. the flow of light mana was directing pushing back against the dark mana. One side had a pillar of stone that cast a shadow entirely.
The other pillars of stone which stood high would only cast their shadows in a similar direction. Making a naturally occuring circle of shadows depending on the time. But part of those areas was always in shadow which allowed for the accumulation of dark mana.
In contrast, the other side also always had light mana which would be standing out compared to the shadows. This natural formation of rocks and the way that night and day cycled made this entire place perfect for there to be the naturally forming light and dark runes.
However, the large central pillar was one that cast a shadow at all angles depending on the time of day or didn't cast a shadow at all. It was very interesting to Onyx who could feel the changes in the heart and plants around him based on what mana they had absorbed for what could have been years.
Just with the addition of this place back to the world it was sure that many amazing places just like it might be out there. The ways that Onyx had learned about the elemental planes from Walker and the others had been a clear example of how manas collided.
The places called the borders of the elemental planes gave birth to unique areas where many dual or even triple elemental beings could be born. Whether that meant they were herbs, monsters, or intelligent races didn't matter. It was a place where unique everything existed. The world within itself was one of those places so to speak. The way that Onyx saw it, the world was the perfect mix and center of all elemental manas and all manas in general. Therefore, this place was here not only because it was a place where light mana and dark mana naturally came together, but because it gave way to new and unique forms of life itself.
That was on his mind as he saw the familiar herbs he had seen the entire time. Also when he noticed the pure white and almost blinding rune floating in the air. Looking directly opposite of it, he saw a shimmering shadow of deep darkness in a rune form as well.
"The two runes forming light and darkness naturally occurring." His mental whisper was more to himself but he also realized that Aurora had not waited at all and was beside him even though he didn't want her to slither in with him. There could have been more dangers than he wanted to risk with her being there.
"Look at the mana moving from them." She didn't let Onyx say anything else about how she was sticking to his side in this area they had yet to explore. Instead, she watched the light mana and dark mana moved in a natural circle and mingle. Pushing and pulling. It was like watching the densest mana they had seen in the world perform a perfect dance.
As the mana flowed, it eventually slowed and reached the center where it hit the central rock pillar which was not casting a shadow right now. The mana seemed to absorb and bounce back out seconds later. Providing what felt like a purifying effect.
Right in the center of the large stone where dark and light mana crystals grew from, Onyx and Aurora saw an opening. From what they had heard from others, this was very similar to the dungeon that had been found. However, instead of the dungeon forming in thin air, it was stuck to the pillar, helping to radiate and absorb mana in this naturally balanced place.
Where the dungeon could have broken the balance here, it helped instead. That meant that the will of existence or whatever it was had made this dungeon perfectly balanced in to what naturally happened here.
"I believe that inside that dungeon is a naturally mixed rune of light and dark. The perfect balance for us to study and learn from." Onyx didn't doubt his words or his theory. It just made so much sense right now.
"Then we find it." finding that Aurora was being so serious all the sudden and had even begun to watch the mana flowing around with a lot greater attention, Onyx felt that just being here was a perfect example of where his purple should grow.
"All of you come closer!" Onyx mentally shouted and found that most of the younger serpents had already crept closer in the shadows. He knew they were doing it, but if he were to act so strictly all the time then he knew they would fear the exploration they would begin to undergo.
"We are heading inside. I need those with the appropriate skills to appraise tube dungeon entrance. Others can secure the area. Once we have a camp we will call for assistance before heading inside."
'Dance of light and shadow dungeon
This dungeon will only open once a month for twenty four hours. This is due to the pure light and dark mana needed to open the dungeon properly. It comes from two naturally forming light and dark runes perfectly paired. This dungeon can be harvested of any herbs, materials, and even have the eggs of unique monsters taken from it.
While the dungeon is considered weak due to the constant state of opening, it will not entirely reset using mana every time it opens and closes. It will be altered and herbs or monsters can be added to it. This included crafted items able to withstand and absorb the light and dark dual manas.
This dungeon is extremely beneficial for those with dual light and dark affinities because the purer dark and light mana within are balanced allowing for it to be a natural guide to those learning about them...'
While the appraisal that Onyx was given did not share a lot of details, it reinforced his feelings and theories. He also knew that the inside would not be extremely dangerous since it did not have a level requirement. It also had a unique method of opening and closing.
But he already knew that mana was important. Dungeons were somewhat alive in a way. They ended mana. A month long rest meant that the dungeon needed the naturally occurring runes to feed it the mana it needed. Afterwards, it was open for a full day so that they could enter it.
This gave them all a month to prepare so that they would be able to enter the dungeon and explore. Be able to learn for a full day from the ways that the dark and light manas mixed themselves together in a more peaceful way than the methods of some mages who slammed the manas together violently to make more dangerous spells.
"The communication has been sent about us exploring and finding this new dungeon. Those who wish to enter will follow me!" Onyx saw that those with the appropriate skills were making camp and he had done what he needed. He also saw that Aurora was ready to proceed with a few of the heavenly serpents behind her looking anxiously at the flowing manas.
As he made his way inside the dungeon, he felt that the air itself became crisp. Not because it was cold, but because it had the balance of manas that worked with his body best. He also sensed that they did not have a full twenty four hours to explore this. That they were limited to only eighteen until they were to be thrust out.
Whether this was some magical communication from the dungeon or his instincts because of how the world worked now, Onyx didn't mind. Eighteen hours was enough to explore and have a handle on what he could do. A good way to know what they would need to prepare for the next time they entered.
What they saw though, wasn't a lush green foremost or pillars of stone casting shadows. They found an entire world of black and white. Shrubs that were black leaves and trees completely white. Some mingled together to create unique plants that cast their own shadows which also seemed to be part light as well.
Their senses were full of what they could feel was mana and what they could see was physical. A perfect small world of just light and dark mana mixing to make up all the plants, ground,
and even in the air.
