"No... I mean, I don't think you can get back your belongings... Inner World... You really have Inner World?" Samuen muttered in shock.
'What is this old man blabbering about?' Raydon had given up all hope when he discovered that he couldn't get his lost items back, but when he saw Samuen babbling absentmindedly, he thought that maybe his loss wasn't that big of a deal in comparison to what he had gained instead.
In addition, the bound items were still present, as was the blue-grade cane that he had discovered earlier alongside the eye that he had discovered within the blue titan's inheritance, the value of which he was still unsure of.
"Can you tell me what this Inner World is, then?" Raydon asked, getting back on his feet, hoping to at least learn the details of this new phenomenon.
"I can't believe you have such an advantage so early. I suppose that's the advantage of being a high race," Samuen sighed and continued. "I guess I'll have to explain it by showing you."
And then he opened his own dimensional storage, making it visible to everyone.
The dimensional storage that Samuen possessed was very similar to the one that Diam had; it had a capacity that was almost as large, and its walls and ceiling were primarily composed of black obsidian. To Raydon's astonishment, the ground of Samuen's dimensional storage, like the ground of Diam's, was covered in sand that appeared to have a natural appearance. There were mountains composed of rocks and sand, in addition to fields filled with a myriad of plants and flowers. Additionally, many different kinds of creatures had made this space their home, thereby contributing to the formation of an ecosystem within it.
'It looks a bit chaotic inside, ' Raydon muttered as he surveyed the interior.
Raydon had seen Diam's dimensional storage before, and although not all monsters appeared to be completely at peace there, it appeared that they had established their territories and were living peacefully within them. On the other hand, inside Samuen's dimensional storage, all of the monsters looked like they were prepared to fight each other at any moment. There were many huge monster bodies that seemed to have died recently, and the lands were heavily damaged, with farms and fallen trees.
"Because I lost my last match, I lost a significant portion of my dimensional storage. Moreover, losing a few levels has been a big nerf to my power and stat points, which are impossible to replace in a short time. As a result, the monsters I previously had control over are now even stronger than me and are disrupting the ecosystem by creating chaos," Samuen explained in response to Raydon's questioning gaze.
He then turned to Diam and said, "I may need your help before it's completely destroyed inside."
Diam nodded, opening her own dimensional storage. She summoned a huge and terrifying-looking centipede, a 6-meter-tall red mantis-like creature, and a 4-meter hornet-like monster, sending them all into Samuen's dimensional storage.
"These should suffice for now," Diam said with a bow.
Raydon, who was watching the situation with great interest, noticed that the monsters Diam had dispatched immediately began to attack and fight against the monsters that had lost control of themselves. As a result, the disorder and destruction that had been occurring in Samuen's dimensional storage were brought under control.
And within a very short amount of time, Diam's monsters defeated the monsters that were bossing around inside and took them under their control. As a result, peaceful air returned to Samuen's dimensional storage, albeit temporarily.
"She has a charisma build as an item holder and is much better than me at subduing monsters," Samuen explained with a satisfied smile, observing the swift outcome.
"So, this is an inner world?" Raydon inquired.
He also believed that having such a large space in which he could store his loot was beneficial to him, but he did not comprehend what the benefits were of cultivating an ecosystem by providing food and water to a variety of monsters that were located within the space.
"No, no, we all just have regular dimensional storages," Samuen chuckled in response.
"Show him how your dimensional storages look as well," Samuen instructed Cael and the others.
Following Samuen's command, each of them took turns opening their dimensional storages and revealing them to Raydon.
'This is interesting. ' Raydon thought.
He started by inspecting Zephyr's dimensional storage, and despite the fact that it was not nearly as large as Diam and Samuen's, an ecosystem that was very similar to theirs had been created within it. On the other hand, in contrast to other ecosystems, the majority of this one was made up of water, and the creatures that called it home were aquatic monsters.
After that, he turned his attention to the dimensional storage that Arden had, which was shrouded in a thick cloud of what looked like a dangerous-looking green gas. There were strange lakes scattered across the landscape, each with waters that could pose a threat to any life forms, and there were also rivers that were corrosive and would erode the soil as they flowed over it while also releasing steam.
Raydon observed the dimensional storages of everyone present and noticed that each one had an ecosystem associated with a particular element.
Turning back to Samuen, Raydon awaited an explanation for the significance of these diverse ecosystems.
"As I mentioned earlier, these are regular dimensional storages, unlike the unique inner world you possess. Currently, developing our dimensional storages in this manner serves no purpose other than allowing us to farm materials for gold-making. However, each of us places great significance on expanding and cultivating ecosystems within our dimensional storages, aligned with our familiar elemental affinities, beginning from the time we awakened as item holders," Samuen explained, pausing briefly before continuing with a smile as he noticed Raydon's curiosity.
"We are all preparing ourselves for the day when we ascend to high rank and acquire the inner world," Samuen concluded.
