Primordial Dimensions

A few hours passed and it was already evening when Shane's sour expression brightened up

"Finally!" he exclaimed as he purchased a particular beast sealing card.

The price was already considered cheap for its rarity as it only cost him 750 gold coins for a 50 cubic meter beast sealing card with a [extraordinary] quality that had the [soul connection] ability.

However, this was only due to a certain reason.

The [Mortal-(extraordinary)] Beast sealing card he purchased was worth nothing for the race he bought the card from and it was at most considered a training material for their younger generation.

Shane obtained the beast sealing card he was holding in his hands from the high-elven race that began their journey at the Intermediate Primordial DImensions.

Considering their extremely sensitive control over mana, they still had to practice inscribing complex runes in order to become runemasters.

Due to this, High-elves were known for making "low" quality beast sealing cards, gaining them a huge profit from a young age.

For Shane, these 750 gold coins were everything he had left, because he had to pay the transfer fee of 10% in addition to the surcharge as a different race that was 15%.

In the end, he was almost completely ripped off from his wealth, due to the final price of 937 gold coins and 50 silver coins.

He was barely left with 6 gold coins and a few dozen silver coins, which shocked him more than it should be.

Gritting his teeth, he pierced with his dagger into his thumb as a drop of blood fell onto his newly obtained beast sealing card with the soul-connection ability.

WIth a few notifications popping up, he knew that everything worked.

[Host's blood has been detected. Binding [Mortal-(Extraordinary)] beast sealing card to host's soul. ]

[!Remark: Beast sealing cards can be inserted and extracted from the soul whenever the host wants to.]

[!!Re-Remark: Once the beast sealing card is shattered or damaged, everything living being within might sustain heavy injuries or even die!]

Reading through the messages, Shane was shocked to hear that the beast sealing card can be destroyed and the last remark was frightening.

With this in mind, he had to try out multiple things in order to figure out how the beast sealing card worked.

Otherwise, something extremely bad could happen while he was unaware of the situation.

As such, Shane experimented with the soulbond card for a few minutes without storing Umbra within to figure out its usage.

Absorbing the card into his body itched only a little bit while extracting it felt exactly the same.

Reassuring how smooth it was, Shane looked at Umbra, who immediately knew what was going on, as he slithered towards the small beast sealing card which lightened up with complex runes.

The beast sealing card increased slightly in size as it was perfectly adjusted to Umbra's height and width when he accumulated all of his courage to charge into the black-colored card with golden shining runes on it.

Only a moment later, Umbra vanished and Shane immediately tried to feel their bond, as he sensed two connections at the same time, which was somewhat odd.

Even if it felt weird, Shane was glad to notice that everything seemed to work, as he inserted the card into his soul, to carefully experiment if it was possible to store and release Umbra with the card while it remained within his soul.

Unfortunately, exactly as he predicted, Shane figured out that it was not possible to summon or store Umbra within the beast sealing card without releasing the card from his body, forcing him to extract it every time he wanted to store or release something.

This increased the dangers by a large margin, as the process of extracting the beast sealing card and releasing Umbra took roughly ten seconds in total while doing the exact opposite took the same amount of time.

`It's even inferior to a bronze tamer's beast storage skill..` Shane sighed deeply, but it was obvious, otherwise, everyone with a taming skill would do the same as him, purchasing a beast sealing card, while picking a different occupation.

"Well, It should work for the moment" Shane mumbled, as he released Umbra in order to explain his current plan to him.

Considering it a plan could be considered a joke, as he plainly said

"Umbra, I'll provide you with enough mana crystals and mana stones, while you fill your evolution bar, alright? Going into a hibernation might as well work. If you're bored just try to see through my eyes.

Otherwise, I can release you for a few days...

However, both you and I know that increasing your evolution rate will increase our overall combat prowess by a hundred-fold if not more, right?"

In the end, he tried to compliment and motivate Umbra, but the small shadow-snake was more than aware of its use to Shane.

Rather than being useful, he was a hindrance to his master, which annoyed Umbra a lot.

Over the last few days, his use was more than apparent, while the only time he was really able to help Shane, was within the elemental crystal mine as he played his eyes on the back.

Considering that Shane's strength would only increase with time passing, Umbra didn't want to fall too far behind and he nodded his head vigorously, accepting everything Shane said, as he slithered back into the beast sealing card, while transmitting a certain thought to him.

Receiving this particular thought, Shane smiled, as he mumbled "Glutton".

Umbra wanted to have a bunch of food within the beast sealing card, causing Shane to smile lightly.

'Preservable food will also work..right?' He thought while asking himself what to purchase for Umbra, as it could also happen that the small snake would hibernate or sleep for a bunch of days in a row.

But before he would purchase anything at all, Shane pulled out a mountain of mana crystals from his spatial ring, as he stored them within the beast sealing card.

A spatial ring and a beast sealing card were innately the same because both could store items within them, but the most important difference between them was that a spatial ring could only store dead or inanimate things.

In addition to that, the time within a spatial ring seemed to have stopped, while a beast sealing card could store all kinds of things even if they were alive without having a slower time course.

Shane also knew that such rings, bags, and bracelets like that existed, but his need for them was minuscule because they would most likely have the same disadvantage like the beast sealing card had.

Once destroyed, everything within would be destroyed…

In the end, it was too much of a risk to store his tamed beast in an external accessory that could be destroyed all the time or slip from his finger.

His blood-bound ancient susurro ring was different, as it was sturdily coiled around his finger, without the desire to release it, as long as Shane didn't want to.

Having finished everything needed, he was about to stand up in order to walk out to purchase some preservable food for Umbra, when he noticed the Inn owner's worried expression.

"What is going on?" He asked and only now did he notice that it was already dark outside when the Inn owner saw Shane walking towards him.

"It's best if you don't go out for the next few days, kid. The military began with their counteroffensive because of the bloodlust thunder wolf's existence. They went out with more than half of their troops, while only a small number remained within the shelter."

Listening to the Inn owner, Shane frowned, because it was too rushed for the military to act already, without considering certain kinds of problems, as the inn owner added

"Weirdly enough, the stationed soldier said something about the radar being broken...." continuing he mumbled "Was it overlapping fluctuations? Well, it doesn't matter.."

Hearing this, Shane remembered exactly what Uncle Lars explained to him about the radar when he was young and he frowned as he thought

`Are these soldiers even learning anything in their military training?!?! It's not broken but multiple races gathered together!!`

"F**K!" he exclaimed, as he circulated a quarter of his mana within the lower body in order to accelerate his speed, when he pushed himself from the ground, rushing towards the shelter hall.
