Temporal Pearls

At the same time, he felt his left hand numbed but strong. After six seconds, seth couldn't hold the aura anymore. And it seeped into the sleeve.

The thing was, it was not that the aura didn't come out of his skin but that it didn't react with the sleeve as his command. Seth nodded in approval and satisfaction for his success.

For the next 10 hours, Seth, after every two hours of rest, practised and he has seen great success. The only problem he met was that he could control the aura in his body. But his staff was taking Aura like drinking water.

He can even make his two arms and two legs retain their aura from reacting with the attire at the same time for the whole 10 seconds.

After all the trials, Seth waited to consider the reason.  The arms and legs were simple. The main body, however, has other complicated organs such as the heart, the stomach, the liver, the kidney, the intestine, the pancreas and other minor organs.

He was brooding when his wife entered. "So, how long do I have before I die!?" Seth blurted out. She was startled and taken aback by his sudden question.

Well, Seth has been silent for hours now but then his voice was aggressive with a strange question.

"You are not going to die. You are just fulfilling the last part of the Dowry."

"Ahh, really. The forced marriage and its Dowry. Last time I checked, I saw more than ten people dried on your demon tree. And now you are saying I'm not dying. Answer me, what happened to them!"

She eyed Seth for a moment and said, "Fratile Redone took those that survived."

"Took or saved?"

"I don't know the details. I'm here with you when it happened!"

Maybe it was due to the aura training, but Seth's hunger has increased. His sweet hated wife used to bring food after 3 to 4 hours. But now she brings it after 2 hours. It's as if they know when he began to feel hungry.

"What demon are you going to get from this tree?"

"It's one of the two true ancient samplings we have. I don't know its use!"

"Hmm. So, as a wife, you enjoy being your husband tied down and drained of his energy. How romantic!"

She shyly looked down and said, "It's the last part of the dowry. And you aren't going to die"

"Says the captor to the captured!" Seth then ignored her as he took his time to train. This time she didn't leave but stayed.

"Activate!"

Seth focused more than he ever does, now that he had a full stomach and his hated wife was sitting beside him, he didn't want to fail.

What he did was to picture his heart and how it functions and then imagine as well as command it not to allow its aura to react with anything after it reached outside his body. He also pictured the rest of his organs and imagined how they function while also having the same mindset.

What he expected to happen didn't. His aura not reacting with the attire but another thing happened. He felt vividly the function of his system. From the beating of his heart to how the food he just ate was being digested.

It wasn't as vivid as feeling the surface of a mirror with his hand but he got the general gist of it and their whole connection with each other.

[Aura Manipulation: (D-)]

It was amazing because his aura jumped forward. He didn't achieve what he wanted but got something better. That was not it, but he also gained a single Exertion point.

Which enabled him to just sit down from his half-sit half lying he was.

His wife stared at him the whole time. Seeing him seating, she raised her eyebrows. Before she looked at his hands that now had the strength to support him.

"You will not die here!"

"Is that what your father told you? Hate to say it to you. He is lying!"

Being able to sit was good, but what was amazing was that he didn't feel a muscle crumb at all. But he had to conserve his Exertion Point, so he stayed put and didn't act heroic.

After some minutes, the little girl left. Then he began to think about the real world. His worry increased and his anger just won't solve his situation.

Right on time, Seth succeeded in making his aura not react with his attire, that was when his body floated a few inches and his heart beat powerful.

His exertion point returned full. [140] that was after Aura Blood.

Not only that, he felt his muscles being stretched and pulled, and then a feeling of the massage appeared. Then he sensed his bones, then muscles and veins, then the skin and he was able to feel the running of his blood through his system until 30 seconds later.

He touched the ground, his breath was fresh and he felt energised.

Seth stood immediately and felt his strength, it was great. Those moments of euphoria made him get over his worries and misgivings.

Growl.

His stomach cried out. He sat well and collected the food from her and ate everything and then drank. He always got satisfied with this small amount of rice.

"What is this?" Seth found himself asking.

"Dragon rice. It's special because it gives nutrients and energy to the body!"

"Dragon rice? He ate it?"

She smiled and looked down at Seth's lack of basic knowledge, "We used dragon excretion to fertilize the land where this rice was grown!"

"Oh. How long will I be here? And don't tell me I'm not going to die. I won't believe that. But safe to say, I will leave, when? After this thing matured?"

"I asked the elders yesterday, they said it will bear fruits. I think after that. I didn't know!" Her soft lips were good to watch as they moved.

"Okay. "

Seth then closed his eyes and comprehended what happened earlier. It turned out that when his aura touched external objects, it limited its reaction to his body, which was like being tainted. But when it only stayed on his body, then he went on overall boosts. Which made him recover to his peak and surpassed that condition.

And now he was thinking about escaping. But this boost didn't delude him enough to make me think he can achieve that.

First of all, there was a dragon, then the person that clashed with the chief, then the person that seemed capable of flipping the whole damn down, the elders that he didn't know how strong they were. Redop, even though he said he was weak compared to others but Seth wasn't confident of taking him while he wasn't holding back. All these monsters were forces he can't contend with.

Then, there was this demon sitting and looking at him. All the fucking effort was to create her. He had met one similar to her in the Chief mansion. They called them the Red Eye Race.

So, escape. It's impossible. Instead of wasting time on wishful thinking, Seth looked at his aura status.

"This is good!" Seth muttered

"What?" His innocent wife asked.

Seth just looked at her with a silly face and then continued to grin at the invisible screen before him.

In the next training, he focused on specific organs and limbs, trying to see what he could do. Seth pushed the active aura from his whole body to his leg, which made him feel like the leg was a balloon and as if being filled with water and about to explode.

However, after a day of trying in each session, he was able to imbue his leg with his whole body aura. And that made it have more boosts of strength. However, the next day, Seth couldn't move his leg at all, and it hurt him.

Strangely, it was only after he did the same to the rest of the body did his body coordinate well and stopped paining him. What surprised him though was that, after that, he was able to recover his Aura in just 1:30 minutes.

The argumentation has made his body recover faster than before. Seeing the benefits, Seth ignored the pain and continued to force his whole aura into his arm then toward the wrist to the tip of his finger.
