Temporal Pearls

Chapter 369: Husk In The Battlefiel



Ding!

[You have Destroyed an Army Of Gawee Creatures]

[Congratulations]

[Any and all minor curses and negative effects placed on you by players will vanish]

A drop of water appeared and dropped on Seth's head and a cool sensation washed over him.

[You are been Exorcised against minor curses and ailments]

It was then that healing began. On Seth's left leg was a stab spike. The whole thigh had changed colour to deep maroon, and the bone inside was shattered.

The spike began to move, and the paralysis poison began to move, too. That wasn't all; he felt there were remnants of the abilities of beasts inside him, and they all seemed to stir.

Well, they have been stirring; the Medal Of Honour has influenced them, which reduces their harm to Seth. But now they are being resolved.

Seth didn't recognise that but now. He had thought the medal was just a fancy thing wrapped around him.

Ding!

[You have killed 4578 Gawee Monsters and 98 Gawee Beasts]

[Congratulations]

[You will be cleansed from Dragon Stench and their Negativity and Curses]

[Note: Make sure not to antagonize them again]

Another drop of water, this time it was murky red in colour, dropped on Seth's body.

'Ahha!" Seth screamed.

He felt as if he was immersed in boiling oil and brought out, but then he felt a coolness around his body, and all pain was gone.

Heck, even his mind seems to return to normal slowly.

His eyes, though, were still obsidian black that crack, but the crack was mending with time.

The spike was yanked out of his body. Seth felt all the remnant abilities on him were moving toward his heart, and as if he had become a stronger grinder under what just happened to him, it began to grind them.

[Major Paralysis Venom Immunity]

[Jadification and Stone heart resonating]

[Translucent Chain and Mantle Of Slavery Resonating]

[Major Organ Liquefaction Immunity]

[Hammering Headache Immunity]

[...]

There are so many things before the Game shows this.

[Error]

[Quantifying Progression…]

[Congratulations]

[All Dragon will see you not as an enemy]

The thing was, the murky red drop was for dragon curse cleaning, but it ended up working against the Gawee Creatures and inflicted injuries just like the first drop.

Ding

[You have Greatly Injured Menos]

[Reconfiguring Hourglass]

This time, Seth felt a hand reach into him and find the connection between him and the hourglass before he yanked it.

[Health: Fainted]

Seth stayed unconscious for just ten minutes before he woke up.

There was a dark hourglass floating above him and as he checked his head. There was another one there.

Moments later it dispersed into energy.

Seth felt a burden had left him. He felt refreshed and could think better than before.

He looked at his hand. It was still damaged and still held on to the short sword.

Seth held on, not falling to unconsciousness until he saw the Living Root in the distance.

The last thing he saw was …

[First Might is pushing from unknown minor evolution]

In a vast palace made up of stone was a long line of refugees walking toward it. Accompanied by them were ten people with red cloaks.

When they were before the palace's vast First Hall before the main Throne room, they stopped.

Three people walked inside, paid their respects to the queen and presented their services of bringing possible citizens for her.

After she acknowledged that, a dignified man who commanded absolute respect walked with them to another room.

"Lord Chief!" The leader of the red cloak said, "We once again came without request."

The man looked at them, and they all trembled under his gaze, but they held on as they met his gaze with determination. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire

They came to him for something some time ago, but he didn't even listen to them. Let alone answer them.

Now, they came back but with hundreds of refugees to populate this barren Kingdom for his daughter.

It's customary that he responds to them. It would be undignified of him to ignore them again.

"The thing you do not understand is, what you seek is forbidden Blessing. Without Gawee Council approval I can't give more people."

He said. His voice made the stone wall echo his words, and that deepened his might and power to them.

"That means I can only give one person"

"Connect us with the council, Lord Chief, we might be able…"

"Don't be Prosperous." He growled, "You have no idea who the council are. I myself was only a probationary elder in their midst!"

That made them understand the matter of the councils is bigger than their wildest dream. A thought came to them, maybe Ancient Dragons were the actual council.

That will make things tricky.

"Lord Chief, our people are matching with thousands of refugees from across the Gawee. We will dedicate ourselves to bringing more. Please." The leader begged.

The lord chief sighed and turned around as he faced one of the murals he had carved and he said, "There are two more blessings I can give that are in the same category!"

Two orbs floated behind him. Each was a meter in size.

[Red Lightning ×2]

[Red Scream ×1]

This means that he can give out 2 more Red Lightning and one more of Red Scream.

"You can choose one of them." He said and they hesitated. Before they make decisions he said again.

"If you truly want the other thing, then, bring me the heart of the current owner!"

"We will take Red Scream"

"Good choice!" The Lord said with a smile.

Dream Fortune, Brown Team Leader, the unknown Chieftain and others stroll through the battlefield as they observe the devastation that occurred.

From time to time, they will see a remnant power flaring up, and if any weaker person coughs in, it will die. Especially those hexes that Seth shrugged off like it was nothing.

But there was something else, any place where Death Knell's stroke would emit a ringing sound that would make a weak human dizzy if they stayed in that place for long.

In the large shattered ground where Seth attacked ME 25, the Black Cat was still shimmering with remnant power and shrill vibrating sound with also red mist and dust that created subtle sparks.

"What in Amma's name was that red explosion?" Brown Team asked.

"A forbidden Ability dated back in the first war in Gawee." The Chieftain said. "I heard it was banned for anyone to have it!"

"Yeah. But I heard it was used for execution. The Red Valley Chieftain gave it to those he wished to be killed!"

"That's true. My homie just exploded at the beginning of the game. He takes our people with it." One of the people said he had black skin and an afro hairstyle.

"Red Valley is a forbidden realm." Brown Team said with a frown. He had met players that came from there and they all are not normal.

The Brown Team leader bent and touched the body of a big Gawee Beast that had its head blown up. But the body immediately crumbled to dust.

It was like everything on the battlefield was just a husk.

"Does that attacking Artifact of the Gawee Cart destroy even the essence of the creature it killed? I was expecting to harvest some beasts and monsters," The Afro hairstyle said.
