Primordial Dimensions

Chapter 289 - Weird Constellation

Shane was not sure whether he should be happy about the attention that was drawn to Forest Elves that had just arrived in the Stella-mansion and Princess Ilya who had been standing directly next to him.

It was annoying to have so many onlookers and Shane couldn't help but look at his aunts and uncles who seemed to be as astonished as he had been.

In the end, it was understandable to be baffled about the incidents that seemed to happen at a rapid pace.

Yet, instead of staring blankly at Shane, his friends, and the two foreign race members who had just arrived, Shane's uncles and aunts started to disperse the crowd.

It was rude to stare at someone and make them uncomfortable under the gazes of several dozen if not more than a hundred pairs of eyes, and after hearing that, most of the guests went about their business.

That was, at least, for most big families that were not drawn to the Forest Elves' beauty as if they had been enchanted, and to draw them out of their supposed trance, harder measures had to be taken!

Nevertheless, it took less than five minutes before the crowd thinned, and only Shane, his friends and family, Aisha, Miriam, and the embassy of both the Elus and Forest Elven race were left!

When Shane had wanted to excuse himself, Princess Ilya had held him back saying that she had something important to ask, which astonished him and the others.

Meanwhile, Aisha and Miriam felt as if they were at the wrong place.

Yet, at the same time, they were curious about what was going to happen, so they stayed back to learn more.

Shane didn't seem to mind that, and the others were trying hard in order to control themselves in front of the two foreign races.

As such, they couldn't care less about Aisha and Miriam despite them being seen as celebrities due to their overwhelming potential and talent. 

Yet both Aisha and Miriam stared at Shane, trying to understand what made him so unique for the Elus race's Princess.

"Do you want to enter a dungeon with me? After a Greater Elemental finished a system mission he had been rewarded with the coordinates of a dungeon, but the location is….dangerous to put it simply.

There are multiple shelters of hostile races nearby the dungeon, while the dungeon itself is surrounded by several of the strongest superior awakened stage beasts! Their strength is at least comparable to an Expert stage with a mana purity of 90% to 95%!"

Nobody had expected Princess Ilya to invite him to a trip into a dungeon, however, the more information she revealed the uglier the expression of those surrounding them turned.

'That's insane! What is the Elus-race's princess thinking?? Shane had barely entered the 10th Expert stage in his mana core rank. He has yet to finish his body refining or increase his mana purity further!'

Shane was trying to remain calm, but he was not sure why he had received the invitation.

"Why are you inviting me? You know that my strength is not at par with a superior awakened stage beast!"

His words were certainly true and from what he had heard about Dungeons, they were extremely dangerous. 

As such, he didn't have the intention to enter one before he was strong enough to kill beasts like the Golden Centipede King and bloodlust thunder wolf! 

Even then, it would be considered life-threatening.

In the end, Shane not only had to take care of himself but also his tamed beasts and everyone else within the Hidden Paradise.

The Space Door was just a means to leave the Hidden Paradise if there was enough time left to activate it.

After that, one could only leave, and if he were to die quickly, this wouldn't be possible!

There had been instances when hundreds of Astral Artisans had been inside his Hidden Paradise instead of the nurturing grounds, where Talia had moved the second space door to!

His responsibilities were extremely high and he had to pay attention to every possible danger around him!

"I'm sorry Ilya, but I won't enter any dungeons for the time being. There are too many things I have to take care of and my strength is not at par with the dangers lurking within a dungeon either! I can't even tell you whether I would enter a dungeon in one, or maybe even two years from now!" 

Princess Ilya had expected to receive a rejection, but her plan to invite Shane to enter the dungeon with her next year had also been destroyed.

This caused her to fall silent as she tried to think of a solution.

'Shane is the strongest being within Basic-Dimensions I know...he would definitely be strong enough next year, and with my accumulated strength, we should be strong enough to face the dangers inside the Dungeon!'

Unfortunately, her whole plan had been shattered and the Old Emperor couldn't help but sigh in relief. If Shane would've accepted her invitation, he would have to worry about both Ilya and Shane! The dungeon Ilya wanted to enter was just too dangerous for someone with their combat prowess!

Meanwhile, Nala, the embassy member of the Forest Elves convoy, was curious about Ilya's behavior!

She had never even spared another glance to anyone within the Basic Dimensions, but seeing that she was so devastated upon receiving Shane's rejection caused Nala to have a preconceived notion about Shane!

He was either extremely strong, had a huge potential to become someone significant, or Ilya simply liked Shane!

**

Shane was not sure what had happened, but several hours had already passed and Igra's mana awakening was about to be held soon!

While Old Emperor Kalur and the older embassy from the Forest Elves left them, Shane was told to look after Ilya, and the young prodigy called Nala Muara from the forest elven race!

Nala Muara was around their age, but had already reached the higher realms within the Intermediate dimensions!

This was solely because of the fact that every Elven race started in the Intermediate dimension with liquefied drops of mana within their mana pool, and it seemed that Nala tried to avoid this topic.

Shane assumed this to be because of Ilya who had been forced to shatter her foundation as a Superior Elemental in order to adjust to her polar opposite affinities of darkness and light.

Yet, what was interesting to know was the fact that Nala was only sent to Igra in order to get to know other races and what to pay attention to when visiting other planets.

In the end, they had become a group of nine that had been interacting with each other for the last few hours, while Aimy, Olivia, Jack, and Kylia had fallen completely silent.

They were too scared to talk and Shane, who was astonished by Nala's beauty that was even superior to Aisha and Miriam's couldn't help but nod his head in awe.

"Elves are really beautiful as legends say." He had accidentally said in the beginning, only to be glared at by almost everyone.

Only Jack had nodded his head before Kylia had slapped the back of his head as she had mumbled,

"Behave yourself! We don't know if saying something like this out loud is considered rude or not!"

Kylia was certainly correct, but thanks to Aunt Kia who had taught him a little bit about Elves, Shane knew that this was not rude.

Instead, it was a great compliment exactly like it would be to other humans.

During the last few hours, Shane had talked the most, which was mainly because nobody had dared to start speaking.

While most believed that Forest Elves were arrogant and too full of themselves, Shane knew that it was just their tough outer appearance that made it seem so.

That was, at least, what he had heard and fortunately, this was the case!

Otherwise, it could have been extremely frustrating to speak so much.

In the end, he had shared lots of information about the Astral Artisans and Starlight guild.

At the same time, he had also revealed some of his future goals that were more ambitious than the others had thought.

Miriam, who had never heard of Shane was astonished by his plans, and the fact that he was so confident about himself and his goals showed her that he should have already accomplished some of them, or that there were other aspects that allowed him to be so confident.

The more time passed, the more interested everyone became in each other, and nobody had noticed the onlookers staring at them, while the Old Emperor and the forest elves' embassy looked at their younger generation in astonishment.

"I've never seen Nala so calm and happy among other Elves, let alone other races!"

"The same goes for Ilya! She had never been interested in anyone except herself and her family!" 

Both couldn't help but feel astonished and they knew who was pulling the strings that allowed this to happen.

It was the human that was leading the whole conversation since the beginning, Shane Suro! 

He had not only led the conversation but had also tried to give everyone the chance to speak, something that came naturally to him.

There was not a single time the chat between all of them seemed forced!

This was a rare talent and nobody except the Old Emperor and the forest elves' embassy noticed this!

Not even Miriam, Aisha, Princess Ilya, and Nala noticed that they were opening up to others and acted differently than they would normally do.

Instead of being silent or uninterested in everything around them, all the group members found the conversation to be scintillating and it helped improve the group dynamics!
