142 Hidden Dimension
Aldrin didn't lead the charge this time and instead, he helplessly stopped the pursuit. From afar, they could see that the black miasma had already stopped in the middle of the plains while the instructor, who turned out to be Janet, had successfully caught up with it.
However, she was helpless as to how she could draw out the dimensional creature hiding in it or even find a way to know Irina's state.
"Aldrin! Aren't you going to rescue her? Why are we left standing here?!"
Once again, Clark nagged at him but even though rage had started to fill his mind, he wouldn't be reckless enough to enter the herd of Felsheep.
They weren't attacked since they're still outside their territory but once they stepped foot or even launched an attack, they'd be swarmed and possibly trampled in no time.
Aldrin thought of using Essence Grenades to lure them away and create a path but decided against it upon trying once.
"The Instructor is already there. And look how helpless she is." Aldrin answered.
At the moment, Janet was still out of her Metadome. Around her, the Felsheeps in that area had started to surround her. But like a Tyrant flaunting her terrifying majesty, the aggressive beasts fell down like dominos.
Regrettably, the black miasma remained where it stopped, pulsating like a living being.
'These Felsheeps weren't affected by the change in this Dimension yet. They're still behaving like how they were recorded. Territorial and with a herd mentality.' Aldrin observed.
In truth, although he commanded them to stop, it's only for the meantime. From the small space on his screen taken up by the IDLE Database, the live feed showing his Dimensional Clones was closing in towards their current position.
Changing his plans from letting the four guard the ones they left behind, he picked two; Tank and Striker to come and aid them against the Felsheeps.
But because of the distance, it would take them at least a few minutes to arrive.
While waiting and answering the concerns of his group, Aldrin once again accessed the Idle Adventure interface and used another 6,000 IDLE Points to purchase the Tier 3 of the multiplier, raising the current prowess of the Dimensional Clones.
However, to apply the same Tier of the multiplier to him, he was being asked to pay 27,000 points. As it turned out, the 3,000 that he paid during that time he faced the Dreadgnaw was only for Tier 2.
Looking at his current points after spending a lot, he couldn't afford it anymore unless he chose to harvest the current accumulation of his Points Generators.
[IDLE Points: 8,240/510,000]
"No other choice. I also have to expand the storage to accommodate my estimated income this midnight. I splurge too much on my Dimensional Clones that I forgot to expand it. Good thing this happened."
Having decided that, he quickly made his move. Even disconnecting the communications for a while so that they wouldn't be able to see him enduring the pain that would wreck his body once the multiplier began to be applied to him.

While Aldrin and his group remained at the boundary of the plain and the sea of trees they came from, Janet was carefully trying to understand the incomprehensible black miasma in front of her.
Waving her hand to the side, a Felsheep that tried to charge and ram its head on her body blasted to the side and crashed against the other Felsheep cautiously making a formation to corner her.
With her current strength, the Felsheeps weren't a threat. However, if she stayed too long and spent her refined Energy against them, there's a possibility that she could run out of it.
"It's not reacting to my attacks, be it pure refined Energy or a manifestation of Concept. What the hell is this? Is there no other way to open it?" She mused as she spun around, her Aura Veil sweeping away more of the Felsheep.
After trying everything she could think of Janet eventually accepted that she didn't possess the ability to properly probe the black miasma.
Turning around to check on Aldrin's group, her eyes quickly focused on his little brother's Metadome. "There's only a low probability but if there's someone that can continuously surprise me, there's only that foolish guy. I was helpless against this and I was just wasting my time and refined energy waiting for them to arrive. I should just give them a hand and be done with this."
Janet gave the black miasma one last look before turning around. Behind her, the space cracked open before it spewed out the 7-meter-tall crimson Metadome.
A moment later, its cockpit opened and Janet disappeared in it.

After enduring the racking pain brought about by the multiplier application, Aldrin quickly reconnected to the communication channel. At the moment, he felt like his previous strength doubled once more.
Although the doubling of his strength sounded significant, it merely raised him from early to middle Stage 2 Energy Refiner. If he fought against Carlos once more in his current state, although it's still uncertain if he could win, he, at least, wouldn't be stabbed so easily.
What he had was only superficial without even the accompaniment of different abilities so that's natural.
Anyway, he soon focused his mind and noticed that instead of worrying about his sudden disconnection, Frederic, Clark, Caroline, and the other trainees in their group were watching in awe at what was going on in front of them.
There, a lone crimson Metadome was cutting her way through the herd of Felsheep.
Around a minute later, it cut open a path and arrived in front of them. "Oi, Aldrin, hurry up and go! I can't do anything against that thing who swallowed Irina. It's invulnerable to any type of attack. Your little fake girlfriend is trapped inside, right? Go do your thing. Whatever that is!"
Janet's face popped up on his screen through a private communication channel.
Although a bit confused at what she just said, Aldrin filtered it and picked up a few key points. 'Even Janet can't do anything? What more can I… Wait, she came here thinking that I might be able to do something… In one way or another, she already had a gist that I'm hiding some sort of secret.'
'Wait. That's not important right now. Even if she suspected, no one could see the IDLE Database except me. Or at least, that's the result of the test I did before. But before I focused on it… Irina…'
Shaking his head to wave off unnecessary thoughts, Aldrin then focused on Janet. He simply nodded before speeding towards the path of carnage that Janet left behind.
Although his plan to employ his Dimensional Clones was put off. He had them wait nearby, in case he needed them again.
Furthermore, he didn't give any orders to the group. He just let his Metadome dash out and reach the black miasma.
He could hear Clark shouting at him and they possibly started following him but his focus lay on one thing. To hurry up and check if there's really something the IDLE Database could do against the black miasma that even Janet failed to do.
As soon as he arrived right in front of it, Aldrin focused on the mysterious program.
One second…
Two seconds…
After three seconds, a system message popped up.
