Temporal Pearls

While the pillar was dragging the Menos up, Pharaoh's Whip was pulling Seth toward the moving cart.

Observers might be in awe at the staff of Elevation, but Seth's attackers were on him. The thumb-size bee was a menace as a stinger after a stinger was sent at him.

His saving grace was one as each failed to truly touch him, but he was grazed, and the shock of that was rattling.

That wasn't all; from the dead bodies of beasts and monsters, a certain creature came out, bleeding all over its body, and then it blurred.

The moment it came close to Seth, it released its sole ability.

Seth felt dizzy, and immediately, he began to see colours, and from his forehead, a miniature form of the medos was formed.

It looked at the Pharaoh's Whip and tried to take control of it but found it too heavy. The next thing it did was make Seth Shifting Armour the fabric.

The whistling of the wind and also the attacks became deadly.

Seth snapped awake the next moment and undone that but some damage had been done

There was an ethereal spike that went through his back toward his chest. There was also a purple chain wrapped around his leg and it was getting tight by the moment.

On his head became a mark and all projectiles from the beasts were now firmly redirected at his head. If not the head, his body.

Seth has been holding Red Book from the beginning and it has been opened to keep the whip as strong as ever.

He raised it to his forehead and tried to close the book while his head was inside. This way the effect of the mark should be reduced. It did but attacks reached him.

Thankfully, his Shifting Armour was back again, and he focused the Death Knell to keep the ME 25 in check.

As for the coming projectile. Few missed, most landed but the physical attacks, all failed to make substantial damage from outside but one.

Through his thigh, a sharp stinger pierced through. No blood came out but a damning poison invaded Seth.

[Health: Gawee Organ Paralysis]

This was the Gawee Bee Beast poison on the stinger. Its hunting method was simple. If it can't kill something with the heavy sharp stinger, weaken it and then kill it with more stinger.

Seth felt his hand weakened, he couldn't hold the book properly. But that was the second of his problems.

The first one was his stamina was low and his Exertion Points were beginning to be used.

He had no choice but to drop his hand; the book floated with him, but the whip strength then reduced to a degree, but that wasn't a problem.

He has reached the cart.

His hand moved and brought out the four remaining Exertion Link and Wish Charm.

Seth immediately used a wish to not link with the Exertion Link but to make his body resistant to Gawee Organ Paralysis.

[Gawee Organ Paralysis Halted]

He didn't like the halting, but it was okay; Seth adjusted himself as he rammed at the cart's body.

By then, he used a second Wish Charm for more stamina.

Under the protection of the Cart Shield, the whip pulled him up on the roof where the Death Knell was.

He can't move his left leg properly because of the sharp stinger in it.

He was about to drag himself when the purple chain, the ethereal spike on his back, all activated, and he was encased in something solid.

Seth paused in place of a yellowish substance.

The numerous attacks from the beasts were beginning to overwhelm the cart shield. It was rippling alarmingly.

It was at that moment that the medos fell to the ground.

Boom!

A large crater was formed and dust and debris flew around.

Seth has one wish and four Exertion Links, but only one is useful, and he used it. Linking his Exertion to the charm.

Then he focused his Major Forces and tried to bend his Rayna to combat the solid substance around him.

The problem with the thing was it stopped Rayna and the force from reaching the Death Knell and the Cart.

'Damn! That energy core can't last any longer!' Seth thought.

Inside the cart, he left an Essence Core to fuel the Cart in his absence. That was why the cart was able to function even though he wasn't inside it.

Suddenly, Idea came to him and one of the smaller lanterns swung and shot him. The solid substance from outside shattered, and immediately, his Rayna and force exploded upwards.

He then sensed it, the gigantesque creature was furious but also took a breather and gazed toward him.

Seth hand grabbed one of the handles of the lantern edge and supported himself. Things were getting out of control but that was fine.

It was all part of the plan. It was all the art of war.

'Let me carve the fear of Death Knell in Gawee Creature and the watchers!'

Seth pushed himself and he swung around with the Death Knell as it rotated.

The Death Knell rotated along the markings on the rooftop while raining beams of white at anything moving.

ME 25 was riding the fast beast, running around escaping all the attacks. It was injured; any more, it will be too bad.

As for those beasts attacking, they have been scattered around.

As he swung, Seth felt the moving of the brute but his thoughts were, 'I wish to see the condition of the battlefield!'

All this while he hadn't truly looked around and enjoyed his dance. Even now, death encroachment won't allow him to.

From half a mile he felt it, a pressure of power, raw power that was filled with fury. He stopped rotating and looked at the source.

It was an ominous force of destruction coming toward him. It was concentrated and exploded forward, swallowing everything.

It was like a storm that had no leash.

Seth's body trembled. As he stared at it for a moment before he held the Death Knell and it began to shoot its strongest beam of sound blast.

And he was commanding out with the loudest voice he could muster,

"FIRE!"

"FIRE!"

Holding the Death Knell earlier made him understand that the attack had been quantified.

As a Grade 2 Gawee Cart, its attacking ability was classified into two.

Minor Sound Blast

Major Sound Blast

Each one of them has power from level 1 to 10. But due to how powerful the blast was, even Death Knell couldn't unleash Major Sound Blast.

This means the strongest attack the Death Knell has been unloading was just Level 10 Minor Sound Blast.

His voice never seized,

"FIRE!"

"FIRE!"

Even now, it can't move above that, but with Seth holding the Death Knell, it unleashed one level 10 beam after another with almost zero intervals.

His shout was coming from his whole body echoing,

"FIRE!"

"FIRE!"

However, each one of them just vanished inside the ominous force of destruction as if dropping water drops inside a raging inferno.

But Seth was unrelenting from his commands,

"FIRE!"

"FIRE!"

Seth held some minor hope that there would be an upgrade to the Death Knell blast as his voice echoed with incredible power and will while shouting FIRE like never before in his life.
