Temporal Pearls

Thinking about Myriad Shield, Seth frowned as that also contributed to the cultivation of these annoying corals on his body.

Seth took the Red Diamond Absolution and Crystal Clear Stone using his hands and focused on them, his mind kept clearing but his body wasn't.

Soon, he felt chilling squirmings of the coral veins on the armour and also those connected to his body. An intense aversion gripped his head as if he was seeing thousands of maggots wriggling on him.

Seth thought as he may but there was no immediate solution but the one he was using. So, he focused on it.

The squirming, the wriggling and the now feeling of their resistance almost drove him mad before he lost control and roared in the sky.

It will never work. They were akin to part of him. It's true he can cut his hand off but what if the hand has his own will.

"Damn it!" Seth cursed.

Thirty minutes later, he calmed down. He returned back the attire to normal. Now the coral seemed like a red line on it before he removed them.

He stood with only fabric on his loin.

That was risky but he didn't care. His staff was standing guard and he would be summoning the little cub if someone attacked.

Besides, he didn't believe dragons would come and attack him where the Stele was. Also no tribe should. Maybe a player but there might be consequences for that.

Seth observed his body from top to down. Use of High Intelligence and also reading through the Chronicler Book, he managed to pinpoint an answer.

He pulled out a recliner and sat down. He closed his eyes and tried to rest. It was strange to him that the whole thing was him. His own ability, influenced by the Red Manipulation side effect.

That means to destroy it he was destroying himself. But all was not over. His Pure White Stone Will was a bonafide defense against things like this.

Seth can only assume that the reason that man called him Will Breaker was because he has the Will which allowed him to defy the Will of others.

Seth had defied the Will of Living Roots, Red Ancient, Moon and many minor individuals.

So, as long as his Stone Will exist he has nothing to worry about. All he now had to do was to find the crust of the problem and solve it.

In Red Valley Seth has gained a red skill from the Chief side. Queen Retina was the one that guided him there to obtain Blood Aura Flower.

Its practical uses were unknown to Seth but he took it as a means to enhance his aura manipulation and control abilities. It also nurtured his body making him survive heavy damage that can heal easily.

Even when he was exposed to Yellow Energy in Yellow City, against the corrupted Chief, his aura was erased, it was the blood aura that replenished him faster.

But now he can see it was doing the same thing. It was making him adapt, heal and improve in it own way.

As an Aura flower with traits of plants, it doesn't care how it grows as long as the traits it was consuming helped in its improvement and resistance.

Seth closed his eyes and tried to feel the Blood Aura Flower. It has already become a second heart for him. Grasping its location, he focused on it and followed its activity.

At one point in time, it hard carved its own pathways on his skin and bones. Making wavy patterns like vines. Some of them connected to the Mystic Lines.

Seth sighed and continued looking, using his staff he began to channel his mental energy and Pure White Stone Will with the imprint of the thing he wanted.

An hour later, Seth's red body began to shift back to normal. His nails stayed the same but his hair was only covered with a hue of red as such they became normal.

Suddenly, Seth's body trembled as he felt a sharp strike on his very being. His Pure White Stone Will shattered more and even began to dissipate.

Only when Seth aura congregated did it stay.

[Congratulations]

[You have carved Blood Aura Flower Pathway]

Seth panted, his vision blurred and he felt stinging pain as if countless insects were crawling on his skin.

It took several minutes before he recovered. He then looked at his body, still reddish with veins of red atop his skin.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes and focused on the Blood Aura Flower. Gradually, fresh tattoos depicting a weave of roots and flowers began to slightly decorate his body.

Seth can sense their establishment and he knew they were deep, connected to his normal blood vessels.

He stayed in that condition and his skin continued to return to normal, becoming no longer red and any patch of red vanished until it was pristine normal.

He felt it in his mind too, as the unknown weight was gone and a full vision of what had happened appeared in his mind.

'I'm reckless!' He thought.

He had created 11 Skill, each one more unique and strange than the other, consecutively with no rest and it made his mind clouded.

Each of the Skill was made using Arf which was the purest form of Red Power and Energy. Plus the adverse effect of Red Manipulation.

However, that was all an influence; the truth was, it was his subconscious that warrant the change in him. It wanted to make Seth stronger anyhow.

'Fuck you!' Seth cursed himself. But he knew the Skill creation also influenced that action.

Beside that, Pharaoh's remains made his nails become claws.

Certainly, there were other ingredients that have their own effects as in Beholder World making, the ingredients were all quirky and strange.

Seth leaned back, still holding the red diamond and clear stone together. He gently let them float and he still felt normal.

He then stared at his Stone Will. It has dissipated, only a thumb size portion remained. He observed more and it didn't seem to be recovering.

Seth didn't despair; he looked at the sky and felt sleepy but he shook his head and raised his hand toward his red decorated attire.

He then pulled and closed his eyes while holding the purifiers. An invisible energy from the attire came and entered him through the exposed Blood Aura Flower Pathway.

Tingling sensation disturbed him for sometime but the hue and red pattern on the attire gradually dissolved.

There was a lot of his blood essence that was used in making that coral and it's what made it living, now without it the red of other things turned to energy.

The Illusory Silver Bowl appeared above the book and took the energy in.

His attire was purified, so did his staff and other things. The staff didn't even change as the red only tainted its colour.

Seth sighed in relief, his mind free and he thought of what had happened, things really have almost gone out of hand.

What even dreaded him was what kind of person his family would have got if he had logged out with all that madness.

He checked again and again before he looked at the Red Diamond Absolution and Crystal Clear Stone with fondness.

If not for the diamond he won't ever recover, maybe by the time he uses Crystal Clear Stone, the damage would have been worse and irreversible.

Seth lingered for minutes ruminating things before he stood and walked toward the Stele.

As he walked his attire unfold and stood.

It shifted to armour and the cape flapped. The staff floated beside it and the Red Signature Book floated too.

There was a pale red aura around it. 'Can I turn it off?' Seth wondered. With a thought, the book's red aura vanished and it flipped close and became upside down. He can feel the Red Skill part was off.

Now the Tome Of Silence was facing the sky. The leather and its wet feeling have some writings on.

Seth had read it many times and it always fed on his mental energy but he never cares. He also knew what was written but forgot after he looked away.

Well, he also didn't care about the adverse effects, he had an abundance of mental energy after all.

At the center of the book was a circle that kept making itself and cleaning. Seth chuckled and turned to look at the Stele.

Then he gently touched the hard stone stele.

The Stele was 5 meters wide and 2 meters thick. It appeared to be 100 meters tall but he felt the height was maybe more than that and had some power behind it.

From miles one can see the stele as long as one can feel it or know where it was.

The notification came in the same as before but before he answered, it changed. Seth could swear that he heard a soft chuckle.

[You have purified yourself from Red Insanity]

[Content of bargain changed]
