Temporal Pearls

Chapter 286: Unexpected Gains

Not long ago again, Temra saw him turn a powerful dragon legacy to a stone. That legacy was ranked below her own and yet it was dominated with no injury to Seth.

Heck, he gazed at the body of Ancient Cloud Dragon with minimal injury and later he shattered a Destiny and carved something out of it.

Temra exhaled as she shifted herself from Vera and Vela's banter. She won't care what Vera does but as long as they escape it is fine.

Another thing was, her ego was no longer hurting, Seth was that great, she wouldn't mind being his captive.

***

Seth was standing before the sixth ingredient, it was a sunflower. All he had to do was to capture an insect that ate one of the seeds.

He immediately did that, then he drove back to the Stele.

~Human. Before you returned, have you thought it through? We need to finalize the contract here before we leave the stele.~

Vera spoke.

"Yes. There won't be any problems if I release you. But it will be great if I befriend you and make you guardian of Root Village"

~It's better to kill me or make a baby with my body using the womb than to succumb to that fate~

Vera said with anger. She will never serve this human.

Even though, as she wanted to escape him she was feeling that her mind and body were succumbing to his nature.

She feared being nurtured to serve him, especially now that she knew he could bend the dragon's mind to his will.

"Okay, but I'm wary of you"

~Oho. Will Breaker is afraid of us. Amazing~ she teased.

~I'm going to teach you how to make a standard contract that is linked to powerful overseers. If you created the contract and we all signed it. Afterward we tell you the solution~

"I know the solution. It's aspecto of a specific dragon."

Seth said nonchalantly. He has long guessed what the solution was and he was confident it was an Aspecto.

~True but you didn't know whose and what type. You see, Temra gave you Temperature Manipulation but she has Diamond Manipulation, Light manipulation, Sunlight Absorption and other related skills~

Vera explained

~Vela gave you Velocity and Momentum but she has Ethereal speed that allows her to possess and increase the speed of an ally and objects. She has Inertia Control, she has Eyes Of The Still World among other things.~

~As for me. Each of my 40 special scales have distinct ability and by the time I master them all, I will be bonafide True Adult Dragon~

Seth nodded in understanding.

~Even if you know the dragon you won't know the Aspecto. Beside there are special dragons that won't ever yield even after death without the will of other dragons. This one was the same.~

There was chilly melancholic silence in the air.

~It hurts my ego and I will carry the sin for the rest of my life but it's better than serving you. And yes, you won't kill the dragon or capture it. Just let it go~

"I see you are rehearsing your bargaining ability on me" Seth said mockingly.

She didn't answer.

What happened next was she listed to him another set of ingredients but this one seemed very different.

Seth summoned Red Diamond and Clear Crystal Stone and held them in case something was amiss.

Suddenly, he felt a tug in his mind, his mental energy was being sucked violently.

He momentarily lost consciousness and saw a deluge of translucent water moving toward a hidden realm in his mind where a baby was emitting terrifying mental energy enough to drown a thousand kilometers.

The translucent water existence vanished inside the small realm.

The baby made a strange face as if he drank a bitter medicine, on his body was Blood Aura Flower Pathways glowing due to the potion Seth just drank and now the baby drank.

The place was then healed back and Seth felt he had become normal. As if the leaking of a water dam was sealed away.

[Strength +5]

[Agility+5]

[Stamina +5]

"Hoorah" Seth shouted happily as if it was permanent.

The level up, the Class Ascension all warrant improvements but the leak prevented that as it weighed on the body but now healed, he got this.

To everyone, this was nothing, to Seth this was great.

[You have developed Minor Physique Force]

"Hahaha. Yes" Seth can already infer this was due to Aspectos in his body.

Dragons have a special force around their body, they use it to talk and also fight.

[You have developed Minor Brain Force]

"Yes. Keep coming darling!"

Seth can be easily manipulated as long as the prize was some strength for his body.

Vera knew she had him in her thumb from the very beginning. Seth knew that too but how can he resist?

[Aura Sight has evolved and reached (S+Rank)]

"Dragon Burtali, you are great. Hehe!" He was in euphoria.

[Aura Sense has evolved and reached (S+Rank)]

Seth shook his head in happiness. He knew for sure that all these were just side effects of what the potion did—sealing that being in him.

And also by having Minor Force around his brain allowed his eyesight and aura sense can take some beating too. Things that may stung him before will now be normal.

Soon he was exhausted, his mental energy was now limited but it was for the better.

Seth immediately thought about something and checked.

[Exertion Point: 10/12,000]

It has grown but he only has 10 points available. No wonder he was feeling fatigued.

~Do it now before the Sacred Stele turns off~ Vera chose the time to strike her plans

Seth smiled ruefully and began making the contract.

Hemay have benefited greatly but in truth Dragon Burtali benefited more.
