Temporal Pearls

Seth just held the engraved C object and he could feel something growing in it. He then leaned back and began to doze off.

[Quest Loading…]

This popped out, and he sighed before he ignored it, but then this came.

"I will be damned!" Seth exclaimed. Not at just the quest but at the things he saw outside the cart. He then glanced at the quest.

"Each subsequent quest was more dangerous than the others. And he stared at the last one. This will be a great help to him and the 100 people he may end up choosing.

He will become rich both here and in the real world. He knew he couldn't even begin to imagine how much people would be willing to pay just to escape Gawee.

He took a deep breath; Seth hadn't come over the reckless decision that made him acquire the Deific Seal.

He was angry at himself, the game, and everything. He was furious, Destiny did nothing but smash his head to the floor, but as a mature person, he had to suck it up.

But now, his gaze landed on the thousands upon thousands of Abhorrent Creatures, thousands of Gawee Monsters and hundreds of Gawee Beasts coming to him.

They were in a frenzy; there was no reasoning in their mind, and he was their target. About half of the army were Abhorrent monsters then Monsters and Beasts were the minority.

But even with that, he can see over 100 Beasts of different kinds coming toward him.

At the far end, he saw a titanic silhouette, obscured by fog, just standing while beasts and monsters passed it.

He leaned back and rested his head on his hand thinking.

Neighed!

The front horses became restless as they panicked.

"Prepare!" Seth's voice echoed in the cart.

***

The blade user came out from the array, and immediately, their feature was shown.

The blade user was a man, Skylar and the gunner was a woman, tall and wearing a military uniform.

Their expression was dark because they had used three extremely important things that cost a lot but still failed to achieve their mission.

Killing the Master of Four Wheels: Red Canvas.

They looked at the array that was vanishing with pain before Skylar sighed, pulled out a communicator, and relayed the information.

The listener didn't seem surprised but only said all right.

Skylar raised his hand and said, "It was strange wielding a sword and that power!"

"Of course, it will feel that way. I felt the same thing when I became a mage in one of my missions!" The woman has a deep voice unbefitting to her size and stature.

The array they had used has shape-shifted their entire ability into the single most effective ability.

Skylar, despite being like a mage, wields a sword and silver light energy similar to the knight of Garden Of Eden.

The potency of the ability will be as great as his mastery over his ability. So, throughout the fight, he didn't feel cumbersome at all.

The fact that his silver blade attack failed to truly take down Red Canvas told him that even if he used his abilities that might be the extent of damage he made.

The woman, on the other hand, was using her ability, so there was no change except for the concealment of their identity.

They did that because they feared retribution from Red Canvas.

However, the Array that allowed them to shift their ability to something else, the light bomb and also the escape scroll, were expensive and could only be found in the Garden Of Eden.

Even then one needs clearance to buy them and also can't buy a lot at a time.

"Welcome back, Skylar!" Dream Fortune suddenly projected herself before them.

"So, the rumours are true!" She added.

Skylar froze before he began to talk but his character froze in time and then folded like paper and was stored away in an envelope.

The other soldier woman was already kneeling, her breathing rugged in fear.

"Go to this address and guide a group of players to our destination!"

Seth was drinking water from Soothing Gourd and also eating some leaves and fruits. He wanted to recover well before the hoard reached him.

Even though he knew that wouldn't help if things got too serious.

However, he wasn't afraid, per se. He can always run away.

He sat properly and shouted, "Advance!"

On his hand was a Red Signature Book, hoping it would open now. As it was on cooldown due to his fight with the dragon.

Seth was not helpless; in fact, this pressure of the endless hoard had forced his mind to grasp and understand things he hadn't.

For example, Rayna aided his Physique and Brain Force to extend longer than normal. About 5 meters around him.

And within these meters, he can control his staff as if an extension of himself.

But what was more amazing was that as he was inside his Cart, he could tap into the Cart with his force, and the whole cart would be part of him.

Now 5 meters away from the cart was his extension. This allowed him to control almost everything within the cart and beyond.

Seth felt a buzz on his attire and he pulled out the notification.

[Azure Attire]

Grade: 5, Level: 1 (00/10,000,000)

Colour: Azure

Durability: 1000 (+1000 Armour)

Defence: Force Shield

Energy Core: Grade 1 Level 2 (8%)

___

It has just reached level 2 and charging seems to have accelerated. After some dabbling, he understood it was because he had now encompassed the whole cart to be as one.

Somehow it facilitates it.

From the six cardinal views he saw, there were just a few moments before he collided with the hoard.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The four lantern bells were chiming and buzzing, and the horses ahead were galloping with determination in their eyes.

They mirror Seth's intention perfectly; their heartbeat with him, and if he had shown fear, they would have; now, he is determined, and they are too.

However, if his will wasn't strong, they would have behaved like other normal animals and tried to run away.

From far away, where Seth has battled the dragon were few players and NPC watching. There were only 9 of them in total.

Only one of them was an ally, and even if Seth died, she would only make an effort to salvage some of his lost arms and give them back to him.

But she doubts the other 8 will stay idle. They will, too, make a move and get what they can.

That person was Dream Fortune.

Among the others were the Brown Team, the Navy Blue, and lastly, a player Seth had not met before.

Among the NPC was a chieftain who hid his sanctuary well and was very close to Living Roots.

"Man, this boy is crazy!"

Brown said with clenched hands as he watched the beautiful cart pulled by the brown horses about to collide with what can be called an endless hoard of monsters.
