Primordial Dimensions

Chapter 188 - Disguised

Barely a few seconds passed before Shane felt that he would emerge on the planet any moment as he was dazzled by the sudden influx of bright shining light around him.

As his feet touched solid ground below him, he knew that he had arrived on Masua. It was the Elus-race's origin planet, where both the Emperor and Empress were currently residing.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything right now because he was forced to close his eyes. He put a hand in front of his eyes to screen them against the blinding light but it barely counted as a resistance, which caused him to be shocked for a second.

'The Elus merchant had stated earlier that the sunlight was extreme on Masua, but what the hell is that? That's not beyond extreme!!' He thought as he took out a mask which he put on his face.

The mask he retrieved from his spatial ring was similar to sunglasses and didn't cover his entire face but only the part above his nose.

As the system didn't have any sunglasses Shane was forced to purchase a mask that reduced the sunlight's intensity to an acceptable degree for him.

Finally being able to open his eyes, Shane looked around to see what it looked like to be in the Elementals Empire when his face bore a baffled expression.

'Am I really on the right planet?' He asked himself, doubting that he chose the right destination because there was nothing except nature around him.

There were no streets, houses, or any type of construction except the Dimension-Portal. It confused Shane before he reminded himself that he was on a different planet with a different culture. 

'Maybe it's deemed as unnecessary to have a house? They don't have a solid physical body either… '

He calmed down in a matter of seconds which was also due to his passive skill [Hunter's Mind] before he informed the Elus-merchant about his arrival.

After activating his mana gathering technique to check the amount of mana in his surroundings, Shane perceived that the planet indeed had an abundance of mana.  He saw an astronomical amount of mana particles around him being slowly absorbed by a few suction forces a few hundred meters apart from him.

Shane was unsure if he was allowed to walk around freely. Thus he patiently waited for the Elus-merchant who told him only a few minutes later that he was on his way.

After he received an answer, Shane nodded his head subconsciously before he decided that it was important for his world seed to store a bit more mana.

Regulating his world seed's mana absorption with the help of his title, Shane adjusted it to the degree it had been inside the Basic-Dimension.

The suction force increased and the mana particles floated towards him, spinning in joy as they tried to enter his body.

However, after comparing the mana density and purity of Basic Dimensions to that of Masua, Shane couldn't help but smile brightly.

The mana particles didn't only seem much stronger and purer, but also more vigorous which caused him to feel the same when he absorbed them actively in addition to his world seed.

A few minutes passed but to Shane, it only felt as if seconds passed as he subconsciously moved further away from the Dimension-Portal.

Moving his hands only to see the mana particles that enveloped him by several layers follow his movements, he couldn't help but feel happy.

'I should ask the Elus-merchant if I'm allowed to absorb more mana! Maybe I can stay here longer that way?' He mused, thinking that it would be perfect if he could remain on Masua for as long as possible.

There were no buildings, not the faintest trace of pollution, and nature reigned the planet.

He also saw many beasts which caused him to stiffen for a moment because their mana fluctuations were terrifying, to put it simply.

However, they just stared at him before averting their attention to things they found more interesting.

Shane was unsure if the beasts behaved like this because they were placid or if it was because of his special permission certificate which told the beasts that he was a special guest of the Elus race.

It was likely that the beasts residing on Masua were not allowed to attack the Elus race and their guests to not be hunted as well.

Maybe it was an unofficial agreement or even an official one, but Shane couldn't be too sure about that.

In the few minutes that he spent waiting for the Elus-merchant, he played around with the thick layers of mana particles that slowly infiltrated his body and world seed. He had been so absorbed in watching the process that he had forgotten the basic etiquette to stay close to the Dimension Portal when in a foreign dimension.

His surroundings were much more interesting than the Dimension-Portal and it was only 20 minutes later that Shane noticed that he was somewhere in a lush and flourishing gigantic forest.

Apparently, he was lost, as he had roamed around a bit but that didn't really bother him. He could roughly perceive where the mana was fainter due to his world seed's absorption which allowed him to find his way back without many difficulties.

20 minutes later, Shane found his way back to the Dimension Portal but there was still not a single citizen of the Elus-race that he had encountered which was somewhat disheartening.

However, when he saw a white-blueish, gleaming being that looked like a humanoid descending towards the Dimension-Portal, Shane hurried over, ignoring the mana particles that clung to him.

Shane was unsure of what to have expected the merchant to look like, but based on the appearance it was definitely not what he was seeing right now.

Nevertheless, Shane felt that the merchant tried his best to please him because he tried to maintain a shape that looked similar to a human, even if his white-blueish gleaming mass was not completely stable.

In the end, the Elementals race had a mana core in their center from which not only their offsprings were created but also they would split a part of their mana core to form an elemental seed.

Their mana core was also the place from where they could extract and retract their whole body.

With a little bit of control, they could take all kinds of shapes, even if there were certain forms they were the most comfortable with.

Seeing how easily the Elus-merchant was able to control his humanoid shape, Shane assumed that only maintaining the exact shape was slightly taxing. He also believed that this form was the most used by the merchant as well.

However, based on the name of the Elus merchant Shane had assumed him to be a male, however, the being in front of Shane looked feminine enough.

In the end, this was nothing major and with the Elementals race it didn't even matter what kind of gender they had because it was not set in stone, according to the information he had read through before.

One could only guess if they wanted to be called 'It', he or she...maybe even the title was gendered as it was the case with the Elementals Emperor and Empress.

As such, Shane didn't dare to say anything as he saw the Elus-merchant's white-blueish gleaming mass being shaped in the form of a female humanoid being.

Greeting the Elus-merchant hurriedly, Shane apologized a few times that he had distanced himself from the Dimension-Portal which could be seen as a means to insult their race.

Fortunately enough, the Elus-merchant didn't seem to mind that and Shane felt like he was staring at him intently before he said in a gentle and peaceful voice.

"The amount of mana particles on you is amazing and the suction force I perceive is also not bad….But is that really everything?"
