Temporal Pearls

Chapter 210: Sanctuary Development

Soon his appearance began to undertake qualitative change. He became 3m tall with hard rough skin, his bicep enlarged, his palm bigger, and sharp claws that were as strong as steel, and more than that there was a shimmering force on them.

Now as he tore the monster with them, he caused some injury that refused to close. The monster took in air and inflate and blast it at him. That made them create some distance.

A sharp bone-like structure began to protrude from the monster's body, its leg became like a hyena, its arms like an eagle claw, and its mouth and face like a ferocious wolf. And its main body became more humanoid and it stood on two legs.

That happened fast and it lunged at Fist, the battle was brutal, many times Fist's head was almost bitten off or his heart punctured with sharp bone spikes but his crocodile hide saved him when he concentrated on it there.

Ten minutes into the fight, Fist gained one more transformation and he ripped the Gawee Monster into two, he roared with insanity but seeing the flesh was moving, he dashed and snatched the vial and the core.

The monster still reformed and reattached with no core in it, but Fist claw grew, coated with force and he slashed with all his remaining power. The monster was dismembered into three parts and it stopped moving.

"Yeeees. I won!" He shouted in a bestial voice.

Clap!

Clap!

Clap!

"That was magnificent. Ahm, can I have the core!" Seth said as he eyed his prize. There was no hesitation, Fist threw the two-fist size red cores at Seth.

"Aha, finally,!" Seth held it as he felt the emotion and life of the Gawee Monster. It was fast to onlookers but to him, it took a bit long.

3.4m tall, large and strong arm, firm and robust leg, tough but clean light brown chest with chiselled abs. Dark short brown fur with an extremely hard hide covered Fist body. His spinal cord was more pronounced and they showcase a full crocodile back hide with no fur, that was also the case at the back of his hand. His knee and elbow have a reinforced protruded moulded hide.

His face though, except for the furry ears and sharp fangs, was human. Fist looked extremely menacing and dangerous.

As he stood looking at the notification, no one knew if he was taken over by the bloodline insanity power or if he was himself.

"This is beyond expectation!" He praised in a deep voice, he looked at Seth, who was also fiddling with a rough red core with a smile and said, "Where the hell did you get this!"

"Dragon loves hunting!" Seth mumbled vaguely, "I need to test something," saying that he went into the cave. The players stared at the now not worried Fist as he poked with the vial.

"Realy?" Seth asked as he looked up.

"Yeah, I don't feel comfortable around you and I'm a dragon!" Zero added.

"Fake dragon!" Seth dismissed the kid's complaint. He then brought a white powder and smeared it on the wet soil.

"What is that?" Juma asked quickly, she felt something off about it, like a desire to have it.

"Secret ingredients!" Seth teased but looking down he saw a sprout.

[Congratulations, you have improved Vela's Sanctuary]

[Script Marker: Level: 2>3]

"That was unexpected!" Seth blurted out in surprise.

"The dragon is here!" Mansa came running. The atmosphere became gloomy, as they walked to the cave entrance. It was the red fire dragon.

"We shall not allow it to see us!" Juma said.

"We shall run!" The dragon likes it when we are afraid and they leave us alone!" Rena said.

"Zambia, it's your call. Decide fast!" Fist, still in his beat mode said with a booming voice.

The leader of the Hourglass group looked at Seth and stared at the sky while hiding, "what do you think?"

"I don't know!" Seth was not sure, what if they needed to be outside for the Dragon to fuel the sanctuary?

In the end, they decided to stay, as long as the dragon will not use the notorious Dragon Breath, they can be fine. And yes, the dragon swooped down with a torrent of fire toward the cave.

Some of the players vanished, but Seth and the rest jumped back. Seth's eyes were active as he looked at the inscriptions. Immediately, they glowed blindly and the pressure was reduced to zero. The walls became harder and the cracks healed. A halo enveloped the seedling while its surroundings became conducive to its development.

Soon, they have saturated with energy and the dragon flew away, leaving a standard sanctuary that provided all the required protection.
