Temporal Pearls

The dog was still wary of the womb beside Seth and so it stalled. Some time later it moved backward as it looked around as if it sensed another presence.

Seth's heart began to beat faster as he looked around. Something or someone was coming close.

They were tired of watching and the influence of the black baby and cub was waning.

'Move!' Seth tried to move his body, but the damned armour was as solid as a stone.

That was when he saw a silhouette at his vision edge. Suddenly, they move fast with a blade in his hand and slash toward Seth's neck.

Seth didn't feel fear but rage and anger. Anger at his powerlessness in this situation. He had gained what he sought, and yet he had become a sitting dock.

There was also frustration that he had never felt. He knew others were watching, and they might not be his friends, but definitely, he would have loved it if they helped him escape.

And yet, he was still vulnerable but no one was here to aid him.

The concept of seeking help never came to him, but now. He felt alone and abandoned. Which brought a bitter taste to his tongue.

Bang!

His gaze had never left the attacker swinging at him, but his staff clashed with the sword and diverted its sharp edge, but it still cut his face, and red blood flashed out in minute quantities.

Due to Seth's emotions, the blood exploded immediately toward the attacker.

Seth's wound immediately healed. Even he was surprised to see that. His agitation calmed down and he looked at his staff that was flung away after the clash.

He focused on it and willed it to come to him, and to his gladness, it began to roll slowly like an iron to a magnet.

A bigger beast from the cave entrance came in. It has watched what happened and confirmed it should attack now.

The human that was sent away by the explosion wasn't injured at all; he was able to protect himself.

The beast and the human silhouette attacked at that moment. In that second, the staff touched Seth's rigid leg, and something snapped in him before he sighed with exasperation.

'I didn't know!'

He lamented in his mind while his heart had reached its limit when it came to beating strong, and his enemies were striking.

The man's blade was close to Seth's head, and also the beast's mouth was about to bite his face.

Clang!

Clang!

They both felt as if they had hit a strong metal because just before their attack landed, the armour on Seth's body shifted, and a helmet was created that also included his hand.

The man staggered back, and the beast's fang shattered, and its jaws broke; disgusting maroon blood spilt out.

Seth's hand moved in time and punched the beast, which strangely sent it back a few meters. He then tried to stand as the armour was no longer rigid.

The man was relentless; his sword glowed with eerie silver light and appeared in an arc, Seth's heart skipped a beat. That will cut the armour for sure.

His staff moved and collided with the sword and this time Seth grabbed it immediately afterwards.

'I am learning so many things that are very apparent to me but I was blind to them!' Seth thought.

The Shifting Armour was a high-end armour that Seth enjoyed its protection for the longest time by doing nothing but wearing it.

Unbeknownst to him, the grade was higher than what he could bargain for. Even now, as a Grade 5 Human, he is barely qualified to use its functions in all its glory.

Not to mention, he went ahead and Graded it up multiple times until it was accentuated with the Crodo Hide integrated within it.

The reason he was able to use it with absolutely no problem was self-explanatory.

His Mental Energy was so overwhelming that it spilt into all his Arms, but now, with the Deific Seal Aspecto, that benefit was tight short.

The armour can no longer be used as easily as it used to.

But thanks to two talents that weren't sealed and were further enhanced due to the Deific Seal, he was able to wake up the armour and use it.

Major Physique Force and Major Brain Force are those talents that automatically exude themselves outside the body due to the Grade and Weight of one's self.

The easiest way to explain them was like fire and heat.

Just by existing, fire emits heat to its surroundings, and people might take advantage of that to cook things, make things incredibly hot or even melt metal.

Likewise, as the body of a player or NPC reaches a certain concentration of capabilities coupled with becoming Grade 3 or above human, the force may automatically come.

Seth should have had the force immediately after becoming Grade 5, but his body was just too weak for that until sometime he gained the Minor one.

This force was similar to the one Little Cub had, which was called Beast Force. Also, it was the one that all dragons have, and they kind of manipulated it to converse with voice.

The force for the dragon served as a first layer of defence and a means of communication and it also amplified their aura control as well as other abilities.

This Minor physique Force was paramount in controlling Shifting Armour.

When Seth was down, and the armour was rigid, all he had to do was seep out the Minor Physique Force he had at that time to have a semblance of control, but he didn't know that.

Even if he does, the Minor Force won't do much help as even now the Major Force was barely making him feel normal movement.

His desire when danger came was the thing that spiked up his Minor Brain Force, which slightly awakened the staff, and it acted immediately.

When he also managed to use the Brain Force to roll the staff to him, the moment it touched him, he sensed his armour wakes up, and the physique force flared and entered into the staff.

This made him aware, but what immediately helped him to grasp it fully before the attack reached him was the staff aspect.

~Increase Awareness

It was amazing the things that his Health Aspecto provided. It made him have sudden awareness and enlightenment about his situation.

But his situation was still bleak as another human from the cave entrance fired a bullet.

Bang!

Seth was sent back and rammed at the dragon-made cave wall, and before he reacted, more bullets were coming.
