Temporal Pearls

[...damned, you are dying. Haha, that is karma, mother fucker. You should have read a lot of me and learned a lot of things. Ahm, where was I? If you want to become a Red Valley, wait!? You are in Yellow City.

I know nothing about this place. But, rest in peace boy, you will die in both lives. Haha]

The book closed. That wasn't helpful at all.

Seth emptied his pockets but nothing magical that can help him.

His panic increased as he called upon his [Clear Stone], thankfully that helped and Seth found his head unclogged and a yellow hue emitted out of his body. But that was it.

Seth call upon [Tears Of The Fallen] but that didn't help and then he remembered his Mantle Of Slavery. How the fuck did he forget about it? Seth cursed himself for a second before focusing on the red flowers on his chest that represent Blood Aura and Red Signature, but nothing.

His mind went blank and he saw his real body jerking off before he woke up in the game again. He was truly dying and that was his factual fear.

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:47]

[First Might Activated]

Seth felt awake again and could reason better than ever but… he is still dying.

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:40]

'What...what!'

Seth's panic increased and that stopped him from thinking straight.

The Guide Book opened.

[... You are as resilient as fuck. Normal humans would have died by now. There must be something in you that was keeping you alive. Panic will only be detrimental to you. Don't panic and THINK STRAIGHT.

Where is your STONE WILL? USE it]

When [First Might] activates seth saw a ripple pass out from him and that affects all the objects around him. And it was the book that absorbed the ripple the most. So, it guiding him was part of the [First Might] influence.

However, can he focus? Flashes of his real body were becoming frequent. And he was not doing well.

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:32]

'Willpower!' Seth focused on it and then made himself calm down. That worked and his obscure clarity due to fear vanished and his brain now worked with no hindrance. But he has nothing to think about virtually but Aura Tome.

He call upon the giant book and the surrounding changed a bit and seth made it open while also hoping that it being out will help him gain an aura.

But,

[You have 0.3 aura remaining in your body]

Bringing out the book consumed his aura which made his body worse. So, the reason why he was dying faster was because he has less Aura. Seth focused on that 0.3% aura and somehow he felt he catches. He quickly moved it around his body.

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:30]

[00:30]

He froze the timer, and due to Clear Stone, the yellow energy that purged his aura was no longer in his body and that also made him feel rejuvenated.

[00.29]

The timer slowed down but that didn't mean he was out of the woods. Seth then read through the Aura Tome faster, trying to see if there was any technique that can aid in recovering aura faster than normal.

There was, and it was expelling the aura completely and allowing it to recover, and each time, it will speed up. he also saw a lot of other information that he had not read before, however, they aren't helpful to his current situation.

But one thing he learned was that Human Aura will never be absolute zero in life or death. In life and with time one will always recover the aura.

And in death, it will not but become permanent and stable, as long as the body exists, it will exist. That is to say, it will never be used off.

This told him that 0.3% was more than enough for him to help recover but with no good control then he can't utilise it well.

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:25]

Another thing he did then connected the remaining 0.3% aura to his insignificant blood and then made it circulate throughout the body even though some places were already dead. But that only served to prolong the timer.

Seth's mind slowed down and he felt dizzy, the effect [First Might] was wearing off. He dismissed the Tome as he read all the written pages

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:15]

His aura returned to 10% but it wasn't enough to keep him alive for long. Seth sighed as for the first time looked around him. He was in the building, slammed on a wall. There was a lot of Dead NPCs around him, their body burnt away to crisps and some to ashes.

But far away from him, a boy with a half-burnt body was standing staring at Seth. He has been there from the beginning. As seth was dying he didn't care and he looked at where he was blasted from.

'Damned. Even in death, he targeted me!' Seth cursed.

He had expected to see an area of effect explosion but, there was a 100m area of effect but the energy was concentred on him and a clear destruction and scorched road indicated that seth face the brunt of the attack.

His cloak was incinerated and only the part around his neck was still intact. Strangely, the damaged belt was a bit better and nothing happened to it.

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:12]

Seth was observing the surroundings and learning about the place he is going to die when an idea click on him. When his cloak wrapped him, his body was mostly protected but how come, his head still has hair on it?

That means his head is fine, not affected and his eyes well safe. Why? Why? Why? Seth quickly calls upon Aura Tome and reads a certain topic.

'Haha!'

It's an established fact that his brain and mind is the strongest part of his body. Serodo developed telekinesis just because he was a seth clone and that meant Seth's head emits some sort of force on its own to protect itself.

When the blast happened that was how the head was protected. That wasn't even the good news, the good news was that each part of the body has its own type of aura. That is to say, there is a bone aura, skin aura, muscle aura, vein aura, and so on.

Ideas were already exploding in seth head but he shoved them away and focused on the path to his salvation.

His protected head has its own Aura intact. All he has to do was pushed it down and aid his actual body.

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:09]

Seth's mind became hazier but there was something called hysterical strength, a semi-supernatural strength that a person contains and he usually achieved the impossible in a short time.

Seth assumed that was a result of a sudden active aura but now he saw it might be more than that as if the power come from Spirit.

Seth forcefully, with the help of Pure White Stone Will and Clear Stone, dived into his brain somehow and try to pour the aura in that place down to his body.

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:05]

The timer did not make him panic but rather made him dig deeper by holding on to his Aura Control and Manipulation to affect whatever Aura was in his head but he failed to even pull a little.

There was this unbreakable wall that wasn't even registering his attempt.

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:03]

He moved his concentration to the 10% aura he has in the body and pulled it toward his head to see if he can use it as a means to get to his head but then… what he grabbed turned out to be enormous. If before he was grabbing a drop of water now it was 10 litres of water, and in it, were so many aspects of the body that he can't even fathom.

That was the 10% aura he was grabbing, now he can feel the energy inside was more than what he expected it. He became confused.

And by instinct, his mind took hold of the aura diffused throughout his body.

Seth's body levitate and the small blood in his body fused with Aura and attained the required healing properties as it forcefully circulate around the body as Seth's Stone Heart beat powerfully.

Aura Blood also activated and using that 10% Seth's body stopped succumbing to death.

[Healthe Status: Dying!]

[00:03]

[00:03]

[00:03]

The timer froze.

Seth was mildly confused by the magic that happened but his mind didn't fail to grasp the reason for all that.

First, he doesn't die directly due to the injury because he has improved his life force by training his Aura and due to being basked in Living Roots Aura.

You can't kill a Tree easily
