There wasn't much that changed within Umbra's possible evolution panel, except the 4th evolution path.
_______________
Possible evolutions [Shadow-snake (Extraordinary)]
1) [Common] Shadow-python (0.00%/100%)
2) [Uncommon] Darkness-python (0.00%/100%)
3) [Rare] Colossus Darkness-python (0.00%/100%)
4) [Extraordinary] Horned Darkness-Snake (0.00%/100%)
_______________
Shane was still unsure what to think about the Limit breaker title, but what he knew for sure was that a [Horned Darkness-Snake] sounded weaker than a Colossus Darkness-python…
At least that was what he thought and the only thing both evolution paths had in common was their "Darkness" tag which indicated their affinity.
However in the end this was everything they had in common and a small ray of hope emerged within him.
`Will Umbra stay smaller if I evolve him into a [Horned Darkness-Snake] compared to the Colossus Darkness-python?` This was something extremely important he had to know because he couldn't let Umbra slither through the shelter if he were to continue to grow into a forty-meter-long snake.
Others didn't have such a problem with their tamed beasts because they had either the [Tamer] occupation or they purchased a special beast sealing card or bag in order to store their beasts inside.
A tamer's specific space was within one's body and comfortable for both master and tamed beast.
These tamed beasts stored within their master could even absorb a part of their master's mana if they received permission to it and at the same time, they were able to see through their master's eyes.
Meanwhile, a sealing card or bag was rather uncomfortable for beasts, because they were squeezed into a twisted space without many joyous things they could do within.
However, even if he told himself that he had to know if Umbra would become larger if he were to grow longer with the [Extraordinary] evolution path compared to the [Rare] evolution path, this wouldn't really change his decision to pick the former one, because his companion had to become stronger, taking the best path.
Shane was still unsure if his thought about potential was wrong, but the theory about beasts' potential slowly established in his mind, after Umbra broke through its limit.
There had to be a racial limit that prevented beasts to reach higher realms and it looked like the peak-5th Wild stage and a [extraordinary] quality was the highest possible a normal Shadow-snake could ever achieve.
Umbra was a special case and Shane was still unsure if it was solely because of his Innate skill's quality enhancement or not.
As such, he had to gather more information and figure out more about himself, his capabilities, and Umbra.
Nevertheless, the only thing Umbra was able to do for now would be absorbing nature's mana and mana crystals in order to fill the evolution bar.
There was only one main issue, Shane noticed.
Not only increased Umbra's length but also his thickness and he was now more than 1.5 meters long while he was also as thick as his forearm.
With this, it would be quite hard for Umbra to coil around Shane without obstructing him with any kind of movement, which worsened their good mood to a large degree.
Umbra could roughly understand Shane's thoughts without many problems after his quality upgraded to [extraordinary] in addition to the intelligence boost he received from the [Limit breaker] title.
He knew that obstructing his master in any way would be extremely bad and there was nothing much they could do, as it might even be harmful to both master and their tamed beasts to be too far apart from each other for a long period of time.
This was solely because the bond between a master and tamed beast would weaken over time while the loyalty might even waver.
Both of these factors were extremely bad, but Shane didn't have any way to learn some type of [Taming] related beast storage skill.
The only thing he could think of was purchasing a beast sealing card or sealing bag, but he didn't want to.
It was as if he would torture his tamed beast with that because Umbra would be completely secluded from anything and this was the last thing he would ever want to do.
Pondering what to do, Shane just decided to message his issue into his chat group with all uncles and aunts.
They were the strongest and most knowledgeable humans he knew and if they didn't know what to do, Shane would have to either find a different path to solve this issue, ask other races or figure out a way to take Umbra with him.
However, fighting with a 1.5+ meter and forearm thick snake coiled around him could be quite dangerous for both of them.
While waiting for a message to pop up, Shane continued to think about any kind of solution for his current problem but there wasn't much he could think of, except purchasing an extremely expensive [Miniature world] that was comparable to a minuscule dimension where all kinds of living beings could live inside.
A miniature world was just a normal world, only that its size was minuscule, and space within was also definite through the price one paid.
However, even a one cubic meter space was said to cost hundreds of gold coins.
Shane was able to purchase such a one cubic meter miniature world, but this wouldn't really make Umbra much happier than being stored inside a sealing card or bag, with a few mana stones or the remaining mana crystals next to him.
Another idea that popped into his mind, was that Umbra could enter a long hibernation which they also saw with the Colossus Darkness-python.
Even though Umbra didn't love this option it seemed as if it was the best thing they could do, as a notification from his family chat group appeared in front of Shane's eyes.
It was Uncle Max but Shane was not really hopeful to read something mind-blowing as he read through the few options he had.
<1) Purchase a normal [Mortal-(Common)] beast sealing card/bag. Your tamed beast can go into hibernation. Through its common quality, you can store some mana stones or mana crystals within it and your beast can accumulate mana in order to fill its evolution bar slowly.
(Cheapest way)
2) Purchase a miniature world and store your beast there while doing the same steps as prior explained until the evolution bar is completely filled. (Medium expensive)
3) Enter the apprentice rank as soon as possible and take the Tamer occupation without caring about its quality (least recommended)
4)Purchase a [Mortal-(Extraordinary)] beast sealing card with a [Soul connection] or similar effect. This effect will be bound to you and is comparable to a fake [Taming] beast storage skill, without the ability to absorb the master's mana.
(Most expensive of all stated solutions., but also most efficient)
If you need funds, just message me, I make sure you receive enough!>
Reading through the four solutions, Shane was already aware of the first two, but doing any of these two would feel like he were to torture Umbra which he didn't want to do.
As for the third solution, he didn't even need to consider it for a second, because Shane would never just pick any occupation.
Furthermore, he didn't want to be a tamer, per se as he would rather select a combat occupation in order to fight with his tamed beasts.
Looking at the last solution, he was immediately interested, but considering that everything with an extra effect and a [extraordinary] quality was extremely expensive, Shane could only hope that his current funds were enough to relieve him from his worry.
