Chapter 189: Misunderstanding

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

When Shane heard this, he was unsure what the Elus merchant wanted from him so he tried to answer honestly.

"I'm currently restricting the mana absorption so that I don't create a commotion or maybe even cause trouble."

He didn't even know how much mana his world seed could absorb currently and Shane could only feel that his world seed was still not at its maximum capacities.

Otherwise, it couldn't demand him to supply an astronomical amount of mana in the last few days before the world seed would blossom!

Listening intently, the floating Elus merchant seemed to nod its head before nonchalantly saying.

"Don't bother about restricting your mana absorption. I'll allow you to release your whole mana absorption. If it's too high you can always restrict it again later."

Shane furrowed his brow, wondering how a simple Elus merchant had the rights to take such a big decision on its own. He wondered if the unhindered mana absorption would create an unbalanced state of the mana particles in his surroundings.

Not being able to find an answer he decided that it would be better to ask the Elus-merchant directly,

"I'm sorry to ask this, but does an Elus-merchant have enough authority to decide this? I just don't want to do anything wrong and I apologize if asking this question was rude!"

'Elus merchant?' the white-bluish glowing female humanoid Elementals asked herself, barely suppressing a laugh as she intently stared at the black-haired young man in front of her.

'He thinks I'm the Elus merchant he previously talked to? That only means that he doesn't know too much about our race which is not necessarily bad. But, it's definitely good that he acts carefully on a foreign race's territory. Shane was his name, right? He is younger than I expected. I wonder if he would act differently if he knew who I was?'

The Elementals Empress whom Shane had misunderstood as the Elus merchant was staring intently at Shane.  She had only wanted to take a proper look at him as she was interested in the things she had seen through her foresight ability.

As such, she couldn't help but say

"Elus-Merchants don't have that right, but I do! You don't have to worry about anything. I bear the responsibility if something were to happen, alright? Just release everything!"

Shane was confused about the answer he received but didn't mind it much.

Being able to remove his world seed's restriction would allow it to store more mana and support the whole process, allowing the world seed to blossom without any issues.

As such, he accessed his Title [One with the World(Unique)] and used the regulation skill to adjust the world seed's mana absorption to 100%.

Shane's whole body tensed up for a short moment when the suction force of the world seed that was situated in his mana pool intensified. The leaves around him began to vibrate slightly as all the mana particles in the radius of ten meters were drawn to him.

However, that was not everything because the mana particles in the surrounding one hundred meters were slowly floating towards him.

While the mana particles in Shane's proximity were immediately absorbed, the mana particles that had been further away floated towards him rapidly as if they had been waiting for this exact moment since forever. 

Groaning, Shane felt that his pores were forcefully opened by the mana particles that wanted to enter his body and mana pool by all means which was not exactly how he had imagined things to happen.

As such, he exerted the mana gathering technique actively to open his pores voluntarily as the mana particles streamed through his whole body.

Shane had never felt as energetic as he did right now, however, he knew that he would have burst apart if it were not for his world seed. It absorbed the overflowing mana particles in his body, only leaving enough for him to absorb it into his mana pool if he wanted to.

This was however not something Shane wanted to do currently because his mana pool was already filled. He couldn't purify his mana further because he didn't want to be disqualified for the [Tier-1 (Mythic)] mission.

As such, he allowed the world seed to annex every single mana particle in his surrounding for itself which it stored only a few seconds later.

The surrounding mana particles were floating so fast towards him that his entire body was overfilled with mana. Only his world seed's terrifying absorption speed could barely handle the gathering of mana particles that began to cling to his entire body.

Infinitesimally thin layers of mana were slowly forming on his body, which caused him to glow in a faint, whitish barely visible hue as he took a step forward.

Taking a deep breath, Shane opened his eyes which he had closed before when he had noticed that the world seed's mana absorption was more than he had initially expected it to be.

The pain he had felt before disappeared, as his body was soothed by the mana particles that invaded him at a shocking pace. Shane could only look at the Elus Empress, whom he still misunderstood as the Elus merchant because she hadn't revealed her identity yet.

"Is it really okay for me to walk through Masua like this? Won't it be bad if I'm too close to someone from the Elus race like this? Based on the information I read on PrimWeb, the Elus race needs mana to survive and I don't plan to kill someone on Masua…"

Shane was happy that his world seed could absorb such a large amount of mana without any issue. This would only be beneficial as it would increase the stored amount of mana that he could use for later, but that didn't mean he wanted to endanger someone.

At least not someone innocent who had granted him a favor!

Scratching the back of his head, he looked slightly embarrassed because the Elus merchant refrained from answering him directly. Shane was about to restrict the mana absorption again when he heard a faint, barely audible whisper,

"That's great!! Kidar will definitely be shocked!" Not knowing what the Elus merchant was saying, Shane could only wait for a while to receive an answer.

However, more than a minute passed and the Elus merchant was still in his own train of thoughts, thinking about something. Shane grew restless and cleared his throat loudly before saying,

"Hello? Is it okay for me to walk around like this or not?" He didn't want to repeat his question but it seemed that he wasn't heard earlier. That changed now, as the Elus merchant looked at him.

"That's definitely fine! Rather than bad, it's even better than I expected! Who knew that my foresight ability would give us such a great opportunity to make ties with such a young, yet powerful being! Is everyone in your race like you?" 

Nodding his head, Shane felt good to hear that he was allowed to walk around with his world seed's mana absorption fully released. Though his eyes suddenly widened as he asked in surprise, 

"Foresight ability?"
