After some more talking, the team decided to get back to the task at hand.
"Sebastian," Kyle said, looking at him, "there are Elementals in this place. The Elementals are stable and don't run into the nearest Formation Array. Demons even turn into Elementals here. I don't think there's any reason to wait."
Sebastian took a deep breath. "As much as I hate to admit it, you're right. I still want to say no, but at this point, I wouldn't have a solid justification anymore. I guess this is it."
Kyle and Star Genesis nodded.
"Sorry for that," Kyle said, "but there's genuinely no other way. We have to know how the Elemental Dimension looks on this side of the Barrier Formation Array. I also don't want you to risk your life like this, but... yeah..."
"I know," Sebastian said as he closed his eyes. "Fine, I'll do it. Manny and Fierce Breaker are risking their lives right now, and we can't proceed without my Elemental. I'm not the sacrificial type, but I guess I still have to risk it."
Sebastian looked at his Elemental for a moment.
A couple of seconds passed.
"Here we go," Sebastian said as his Elemental became transparent.
Then, a moment later, the Elemental vanished.
Kyle and Star Genesis looked at Sebastian with anxiety. They didn't know what the Elemental Dimension looked like on this side. What if Sebastian's Elemental was consumed by a stronger Elemental? What if there were other Formation Arrays?
"Looks pretty normal, albeit crowded," Sebastian said. "I can see a bunch of weaker Elementals around me. As always, they're constantly killing and consuming each other, but there are also some dominant Elementals around. Luckily, none of them can compare to mine."
"I don't see any Formation Arrays, but I can feel their effects. Something is pulling my Elemental to the west, but the pull isn't hard to resist. It's more like a mental suggestion. This might influence a normal Elemental, but since I'm the one in control, it's not an issue."
"So, yeah, that's about it," Sebastian said with a sigh of relief. "Seems like I'm still alive."
The other two also sighed in relief. "So, we can proceed with the next phase of the plan?" Star Genesis asked.
Sebastian took a deep breath. "Sure, more risk for me, but sure. You can keep traveling towards the east since this will take a while."
"Sure," Kyle said. "Thank you. I know it was risky, but thank you."
"It's fine," Sebastian said with a dismissive wave. "I also want to grow stronger, and I can't do that without entering the Elemental Dimension. Anyway, as planned, I'm going to send my Elemental to the World Walls to see if the Barrier Formation Array surrounds this part of the Elemental Dimension or if it's just a wall. I'll also keep a lookout for more Formation Arrays."
"Keep us posted," Star Genesis said.
"Sure."
A moment later, Kyle resumed his journey to the east. While Sebastian looked around the Elemental Dimension, Kyle was supposed to find a good place with plenty of Energy and food.
Sebastian kept talking about the Elemental Dimension during their journey. Apparently, the distribution of Elementals was unusual. Usually, the most powerful Elementals gathered in the middle of a world since the Energy was at its densest there. Occasionally, there were also some powerful Elementals near the edges, but these were exceptions.
Here, the overall strength of the Elementals increased the further outward one traveled. Since Sebastian's Elemental wasn't restricted by the Demon Car's speed, it could cover much more ground and see much more.
After just a couple of years, Sebastian's Elemental had already explored a big chunk of the Abyss' Elemental Dimension, which allowed Sebastian to somewhat predict what the Main Dimension looked like.
