Temporal Pearls

She spread her wings and flashed up, shattering the nearby small mounds in the process as she achieved sonic speed in an instant.

Seth had already sunk inside the Red Stream; his left hand was holding the Red Book and then placed it inside a crafted bag on his back. That way the book will feel as if it was being held.

Since storing it in his pocket or making it hover around him weakened his control.

From a distance, he heard booming sounds, and each sound was louder than the last one. Seth clenched his staff, his heart beating wildly.

With ease due to the two marks, Aura and Intent was poured inside the Red Stream but that doesn't mean that was the only thing he can channel.

For the fourth time, he heard the boom, which signified the dragon was moving at 4 times the speed of sound.

One needs to understand that Gawee has a pressure that crushes any weak individual within it; the air is heavy, and not everyone can just achieve sonic speed, but the dragon has reached up to 4 times that.

The colossal body of water rotating as the vortex increased in speed, Seth's attire shifted to become Shifting Armour, and then his cape wrapped around him.

Force Shield was like Force Field but rather than shatter and repel the assailant, it stuck for some seconds before it vanished.

But it appeared just as when Force Field activated for defence.

Seth has a Glass Shield Badge, which gives him an additional 9 weaker Force Fields. That was when the Attire was just Grade 0.

Now he has 5 strong Force Fields and 9 weaker Force Fields. They might have been called weaker but they were as strong as the strong Force Field when the attire was supposed to be at Grade 4.

The Glass Shield Badge Force Field provides a grade lower Force Field than the actual shield of the attire.

That is why Seth wasn't so much afraid of a direct unprepared clash, he was wary of it due to unforeseen circumstances.

Despite the whole defense, Seth can see a glaring weakness. That way, he doesn't know if the strong 5 Field and nine Field will activate consecutively, and he doubts that will happen.

Though it might.

What he saw as the likely outcome was that when the first Field activated, it meant the activation of Force Shield, and because he still doesn't have energy in Azure Core, the power that should power up the rest of the Field would be used to maintain the Shield.

Seth braced for impact but he felt a chill on his back and then immediately activated his Existence Might and channeled it through his Staff.

Usually, he can channel not many different things at the same time, like channel Aura, Intent, and now Might, but those with Marks already have their path and don't intersect or interfere with others.

This allowed Seth to channel Aura with his Grade 4 Aura advantage, a flood one at it. Then Pure White Stone Will Intent to crush the Will and Intent of the dragon.

Then, now Existence Might go against the might of the Silver Dragon.

The problem with most Might was only Might can truly nullify it with ease.

Seth would have loved to add Intimidation and Domination from his aspects but he can't channel them.

Boom.

Like a mini-nuke exploded as the nearby hills and mountains were obliterated, the vortex of Red Stream shattered, and copious amounts became mist.

But it wasn't just a shock wave that exploded at the impact but rather a wave of might that spread, each vying for supremacy.

One might have vanished, and the dragon might have reduced before the shattering water and mist began to accumulate at a very fast speed as if time had reversed, and then before the dragon moved, she was drowned; not a single drop was lost.

From the Red Stream was Still Water, Vortex, Waving Back and Waving Forward Water.

The vortex stopped, and then the water waved forward, carrying its weight together, and the red stream glowed with a weak Might that was vanquished a moment ago.

With a push of will and might, Couronne controlled the waves and tentacles of water trying to hold on to the dragon that was trying to escape.

Before suddenly, a whip lashed at her; despite the water, it was stronger than when it was in the air. The whip tip became a hand and grabbed, wrapped around the dragon and then yanked it.

All Pioneer skills were stronger when used in connection with Red Stream.

The waves crashed forward, they got out of the crater of the violence and reached the closest hill; the dragon yanked forward and slammed at the hill, destroying it in the process.

Then, the violent waves continued fast as if they were going to swallow the world, banging the dragon on every mountain and hill.

One time the whole wave yanked up high more than 500 meters in the air, making the water touching the ground as minimal as possible before they came crashing down with untold violence.

Gawee land shattered, the crevices filled with water and tunnels opened and the dragon was violently taken through those tunnels, making her widen them with her body.

A geyser of water poured out from other crevices, and the unfortunate Abhorrent Monsters were liquefied with ease. Even Gawee Beast will find its body melting when they touch the Red Stream.

[Red Stream Potency +1]

[Red Stream Potency +4]

This was another unexpected gain and understanding of his skill.

They travel for about 2 kilometres within numerous mountains and valleys, causing loud destruction, and along the way, the Red Stream obtained about 304 Potency.

The Potency here wasn't about the melting of enemies only but also control.

At first, Couronne controlling it was straining, and Seth won't have lasted till now, but the Potency makes things simpler.

The Pharaoh's Whip tip has become hand with sealing power, and the whip wrapped around the dragon so that the dragon was unable to exert more power on its body to escape. Stay connected with empire

Its wings were the only thing capable of exerting power to weaken the potency of the red stream around it.

That is what the crashing came into as each crash was directed to slam the wing to disrupt their ability.

That wasn't the only trick Seth was using; he was trying to push Red Stream into the dragon's mouth and nostril. Even though the dragon closed its mouth after it realised that.

Apart from the outward battle that everyone was seeing, there was an internal war that was more strenuous for both of them.

The dragon trusted its mighty body and just resisted but the other battle was between their Mights.

The two forces were clashing repeatedly and cancelling each other over and over.

It's like the two were punching each other, and when their fist collided, their strength was almost the same.

However, the quality of Dragon Might was higher than Seth's Existence Might, but due to the Red Stream's magnificent nature, the Existence Might felt like a flood on the dragon's might. He substituted quality with quantity.

Voooo!

Dragon Might exploded, overwhelming Seth's Existence Might in the water, and the dragon flapped and snapped away from the hold, crashing at a giant mountain and creating a dragon-made cave.

Seth was also blasted away; his Pharaoh's Whip had reached its limit, which was why the dragon was able to escape.

"Damn. What a tyrannical existence! 5 Exertion Essence Destroyed in Just a few minutes!" Seth complained as he stood from a crater his body made.

He turned off his Existence Might and walked toward the dragon.

His body was drenched in water, but gradually, the red mist began to coalesce a little distance from them.

A thin stream began to form, and Seth could pull it at any time with ease.

But Couronne became transparent and disappeared too. It has reached its limit.

"Red Stream is the only skill that does not have limits. As long as I fill it with my Aura and Will then it will never be destroyed!"

Seth pulled the confusing description of the stream to read again while he casually sauntered where the dragon crash-landed.

[Red Stream]

[An ever-flowing, ever-presence of oneself, moving in a stream of life]

"It's still confusing, but I understood; Red Stream is not a skill; it's not a spell, but it's a Power. My own personal power. As long as I exist and function normally, it will be."

This realisation made Seth feel the stream more, the mist and the accumulated ones, they feel very close to him.

This made him smile as he was now close to the cave but his attention was on the Red Stream, "My power will never betray me!"

Something snapped on his back as he felt two streams, one cool and the other warm, flowing in his spinal cord for a second, and everything vanished.

This time, he felt the stream was just like his hand. And he truly understood it with confirmation.
