Temporal Pearls

Gawee Cart was rammed by the force wind that should have toppled it, but due to Seth's energy supply, it held on its ground with Force Shield.

The body of the menos also only swayed and fell to its knees. It gaze still on Seth's short sword.

Seth on the other hand, used the whip to anchor himself from whipping away. But what disturbed him was the sound of the clash.

It was like it was speaking something, something beyond ominous and bleak. With all his mental power he felt he was losing himself.

His black obsidian eyes cracked and the effect of them, whatever it was, began to wane.

That was when he sensed something, a big thing above him. He raised his head, it was a creature.

It has several wings, unlike anything he had seen. Underneath each wing was a large red eye.

Seth's mind blanked away, but just like when he faced Dread Dragon, he raised his hand and was about to unleash Terror Strike, but the thing vanished as if it was never there.

The explosion that was raging on also vanished, Seth returned to normal and he saw that the menos also had vanished.

That thing with multiple wings and eyes below them has taken it.

He had a hard time processing what was going on now when suddenly he felt fear.

A natural fear of things, of understandable power that can be reasoned with.

Seth raised his head, and so did a fire dragon. The fire dragon that had warned him about messing with Gawee Monster evolutions.

Seth stared at it, his eyes still a cracked obsidian but his mind never was better.

He suddenly gained enlightenment.

The dragon before him was a definition of perfection. With no unblemished wrong in it.

The way it moves, the way it breathes, and the way its poses over the sky were all full of majesty.

Its red scales, its mighty wings, its long neck and four limbs. Its tail and also enigmatic eyes that were filled with wisdom.

They were all perfect and right.

'I understood the Gawee Creatures now. They crave absolute perfection because they are wrong; their existence is a blemish to the world. Their endless desire for perfection was ingrained in them; they could not stop, they could not be reasoned with, and they would hunt and devour until their death as long as they didn't reach perfection!'

Now that he had killed thousands of them he felt them, he felt their sorrows, he felt their desire, and now he sees what they want to be.

At least a dragon in perfection.

In awe at the red dragon before him. Seth shouted, "I'm not experimenting on anything. Just a battle!"

He was having an idea that the dragon was here because it was upset about him. He did unleash some dangerous powers here, so maybe he wasn't supposed to do that.

~Calm down, Young Seth~

Seth felt multiple meanings of the sentence and they made him happy. By calling him by his name the dragon has acknowledged him to be a worthy personality.

And the calm down part assured him that he wasn't doing anything wrong but rather his actions were to be praised.

Seth smiled. However, it appeared eerie due to his obsidian cracked eyes that made him look like he was possessed.

~Leave now, Young Seth~

Seth was confused. He was really low in the mental department as of now. Too much attack on his psyche, and haxes on his body. Not to mention the natural exhaustion of battle.

"Oh!" He said slowly at intake before he nodded.

He limbed toward the driver and dropped there before he vanished inside the cart.

The first horse that vanished due to exhaustion appeared, and they began to pull the half-broken Cart.

The dragon, on the other hand, looked toward the direction of the attack that came. His power and energy were being raised for the possibility of battle.

On the wrecked grounds, littered with bodies of beasts and monsters was a small cat that had its head blown off.

Slowly, it regenerates due to markings on its body. Now it has black fur, one mouth, and one tail. Its gaze was on the moving Cart.

Its ability was still active on the human but it has lost control over it. It would have followed the cart; the dragon above wouldn't care, but its gaze landed on Death Knell, and it shivered.

Its current body was incapable of withstanding the weakest of its attacks.

It looked around and saw Rhino Buffalo Beast stirring up; the moment it opened its blind eyes, the cat used its ability.

A thin black thread formed and latched at the rhino buffalo head and the cat vanished and appeared inside the beast's eyes that now became obsidian black.

It falls asleep to recuperate.

The rhino beast ran away in different directions before it found a way underground to escape the rising tension.

There was a baby thumb-sized bee running away; on its forehead was a silhouette of ME 25. When it was far away enough it fell to the ground.

Immediately, ME 25 silhouette became a conduit that summoned its actual body.

Apart from its head, the rest of its body was destroyed. The rest of its body was shimmering red, eating at its body, which it was trying to resist with its aura.

Apart from these two, the only other beast that survived was the rabbit that was now rolling as a metal ball.

But something changed about it. As it was pulsing with power and energy.

It was the only thing that truly benefited apart from bees in this fight. The reason was simple: it doesn't feed on creatures like normal.

Its gazing ability will try to take its imperfections and swap them with its victim perfection.

This ability has zero good use against any Gawee Creatures but is very good against humans and dragons.

The swap was like feeding, and it was painful to the victim, and death was just within easy possibility. Madness was normal as well as strange violent illness that had no end.

When it used the ability on Seth the rabbit swapped with amazing essence to itself while the thing it sent just melted away. The human body's perfection destroyed it.

Seth did feel the pain but it was like tingling to him.

During the battle, it used its ability many times on him, but he was too preoccupied to notice or even attack it.

Now, it has gained so much that it was running away before those medos found it and killed it for its gain.

The thumb-size bee has similar perks but in different ways. The stinger was its portable feeding stomach.

When it struck prey, it tried to make it paralyze but that was just one function. Its main function was to suck in nutrients in the blood and flesh.

Using its marking ability, it will swap the stinger with a new one if the portable stomach is full.

Seth didn't know it, but by the moment the stinger stabbed his leg before the last clash with Menos, the stinger had been swapped more than thirty times.

The good thing was he had Blood Flower, which basically made his blood almost endless as long as he wasn't excessively injured.

The moment the bee dumped ME 25, it used another marking that it can use only once. If it wants to use it it will have to engrave it again.

It teleported to its abode.

ME 25 laughed, he too gained something but not as much as he wanted. Nonetheless, it was a success to a degree.

Nevertheless, it will stand a chance for the next evolution. And it will be free if it is a success.
