Temporal Pearls

He was riding another Shadow Medos. The shadow dashed to Seth faster than he can see, but he knew his armour could buy him some time.

Boom!

Boom!

ROAR!

In an instant, two clashes were heard and then a roar that induced fear in everyone's heart was heard.

Not only Seth, but even people around the crater that was about 7km away also trembled. They all looked toward the battle and they saw nothing but dust and debris flying around.

"What is Seth doing?" Zambia asked, "Can you see them!" He asked Juma.

"No. The little guy has obscured the area of the fight. I'm surprised Seth was standing toe to toe with him." Juma said.

"So, he is that powerful. But he looks weak and fragile!" Fist and Shamash commented. The rest of the group nodded.

"There is Medos here. How is that possible?" Ash said. He knew how dangerous that monster was, "even though it was only a shadow."

But among all of them, the woman that said Seth will not join them was shocked the most. Not because of Seth's power but rather because she knew that roar. It was the roar of Battle Beast.

The battle between Little Cub and Shadow Medos disrupted the battle between Seth and the Shadow Beast Master. The shock wave and the speed were something they weren't willing to be caught into.

"Drag it away!" Seth commanded.

He sensed a denial but the fight was dragged somewhere else. Lightning streaked into the sky and went to Seth immediately, before it landed red liquid expanded and became a foam that encased Seth.

Boom. The foam was destroyed but Seth was safe. He raised his hand and said, "Retina Whip. Barrage attack!"

More red liquid spilt out from Red Signature Stone and moulded to whip before they went hazardous and attacked everywhere, mostly aiming at the Shadow Beast Master.

The Shadow Beast Master moved fast evading and trying to attack Seth, grabbed by his hand was cackling lightning.

Right as he came very close, he was about to touch Seth when one of the red whips moved faster and slammed his way. The red whip was tainted with dragon blood, and the Shadow Beast Master became weak and slow as it came close to him.

"Retina Cage!" Seth shouted. The whole red liquid moved as fast as the Shadow Beast Master and caged him, this time there was a drop of the adult dragon with put in it and Seth pushed it deeper toward him. the prisoner but then.

Kabbookn

A terrifying explosion that pushed Seth backwards. A thick lightning bolt, 2 meters long and 10 cm thick was held by the Shadow Beast Master. His body blurred becoming as fast as his Shadow Monster and then threw the bolt.

From kilometres it electric cackling can be heard and the light dazzled.

Gang!!!

"Agent Of Light!" Seth said casually.

The glass shield that absorbed the lightning redirected a thick yellow light faster than the lightning and the person was engulfed in it. A 15-meter scorched land appeared after the beam of light disappeared.

There was noticafaction that he killed someone or something.

[You have killed Medos Shadow]

Behind his glass shield, Seth saw the person kneeling, it was its shadow that came back fast and saved it from the beam. On the other side, Little Cub was growling at the Shadow Beast Master. Now, they put it in the middle.

He breathed deeply, Seth knew the tragic effect of Yellow light, it purged away aura, and he can bet it can purge other energy as well.

"Are you willing to fight to the death for something that you can't even use at pull power? I will. Because that is my life!" Seth said. He had never been this serious about fighting before.

The person breathed deeply and looked up. His face was no longer shadowy, but can be seen. The face was… not human but rather shaped like a human with transparent skin and shades of purple and blue. Seth can see his veins under and his eyes are golden.

"What is it you want?" His voice has changed from childish to a more mature one with a strange watery tone.

"What you took from the crater!"

The purple skin man brought out eight things. There was a dagger, a branch of a tree, five dots of lights, and what appeared to be Seth's staff. It wasn't a staff now but he recognised it as a 10cm rod.

Seth flashed his aura and the 10cm double concave object floated and came toward him

The staff has reverted to its original form. Just like what they obtained after the egg fell on them and broke.

[Congratulations]

[You have retrieved Staff Of Elevation]

A sense of relief washed over him as he closed his eyes to feel his true friend. Then he stored it away and looked at the person, still down and the other object out.

"I took what was on my mind!"

The purple man then took the rest back and stood. There was still hostility in his eyes but he didn't attack.

"Okay, we can be friends. What exactly are you waiting for in the crater!" Seth asked but he was ignored the Shadow Beast Master turned to leave but stopped as he saw something on Seth's hand.

"You know dragons took all of them, I can only scavenge a little. Do you want some!" Seth said as he held the thumb size crustal.

"Hmm. More moon cores will appear, that's what we want to harvest!" The purple man said.

"Ahh. Well. Take this. Let's not be enemies in the future!" Seth threw the moon crystal. Shadow Master caught it and nodded before he walked forward.

Just like that they returned to the crater as if nothing happened. Seth has taken back the injured Little Cub. And he went directly to the Red Valley Chief to greet him but to his surprise, the man was not pleased. Through his eyes, he could see anger toward him. He was confused.

"Good day sir," Seth said nonetheless.

"I might be locked in a stalemate with them but I can still be distracted to deal with you!" He uttered trying to hold his rage.

Seth became serious as he stared at the man he said, "there might be a misunderstanding between us. What did I possibly do to the point you held anger at me? Was it because I barely escaped the valley? If that was the case why didn't you save me from the cult after I fought your war? Do you know how long I have been tethered to the ancient tree that siphoned energy from me?

Or do you know how it felt when I was forced to marry a monster and then used my energy to feed her till she became humanoid? Or, wait, you and Redop are working together, you are just angry because I escaped from him!" Seth realized and then began to step back as a glass shield appeared in his hand.

However, the chief was taken aback by what he just heard. This was exactly the opposite of what he came to know.

"You were a captive. Aren't you one of the Cult's nurtured Immortals? Sent to trick us and take a Retina sample."

Seth stood a considerable distance then he said, "Retina? Cult's nurtured Immortal? Who told you that, Redop? That man is the cult leader, your half. He said you are the voice of the valley and command it while he is the ears and he listened to it. He is the leader of all the underground factions, those who oppose you.

But I don't know anything, I think you are in tandem with him."

The chief frowned deeply as he gazed at Seth, he knew that the kid wasn't lying as he can discern that with ease but the world is not easy, there were countless ways to lie.

"Tell me your version!" He asked.

Seth lingered before he shook his head, "I don't trust you!" He turned and was about to run when a red flower blossomed beneath him fast and enveloped him, he then found himself just a step away from the chief.

"Ah, great. Life of slavery will begin again. Why am I unlucky!" Seth said with a frown.

"Tell me your version!" The chief ordered, this time he felt compelled to speak that came from the Blood Aura Flower in his chest. But he can resist it.

"Release me!" Seth asked and he was freed, he sighed and then began to explain what happened and he could see the fury of the chief as he heard Seth's truth.

"You say that the cult's hidden village is under the hill!" The chief asked and Seth nodded. It took time before he reigned over his rage before he tapped Seth's chest and a flower sprouted.

[Red Valley Chief has blessed you.]

"I was told you are a spy that came to steal the method of creating Retina and that is how the second one was created which enraged the ancient beast to attack you but you managed to survive! To stop you, Redop lost his life as a martyr"

"Well, thank you for the blessing!" Seth said. And the chief nodded with a sigh. As Seth was passing he slid moon crystal to him. That made the man's eyes widen in surprise but he didn't say a thing.
