Temporal Pearls

Chapter 195: Red Cloak Player

Ash was a chatterbox as he talked all the way even as they rested inside a husk of a tree when the sunset and sunrise before they proceed with Seth's regrown hand.

Soon they came close to the rendezvous cave. He was confused that, removing the resting part, the journey seemed very close. As if hearing his thoughts, Ash said, "Our Sanctuary appeared to those who wanted to be there. That's why you reached there fast. But also some will randomly find themselves there."

Seth lost interest in the Sanctuary anymore, what he wanted was to quickly finish the Class Quest and then get the hell out of the continent.

Zambia and the rest were in the cave waiting for them. Juma in particular was agitated until she confirmed that Ash wasn't a clone. Apparently, he can make himself a clone if he wished.

"We need to hurry and meet them. So that we set an anchor. After that, we can finish our remaining quests and then head for the exit."

Zambia concluded the long discussion about escape. Things have changed from what Ash knew, to meet with some people that knew about the exit for preparation.

They discussed many things, one of which was that it was best for everyone to have a class. Another thing was they must do something noticeable in their Sanctuary to obtain the reward.

There were other individuals' conditions that people have fulfilled but that was for them to personally figure out.

Seth wasn't surprised that he wasn't the only one that had an ongoing class quest. Some have some weird things to do that are even more complicated.

He learned that after the Blast Dragon, as they call Vera, didn't go back, the power of the Sanctuary was reduced and the people were forced to become nomadic. But thanks to their active aura some of them have reignited their bloodlines that have various functions. One of them was related to travel.

"I need to meet with them again. That old chief did something to me that aided me in many things!" Seth said as they walked to the new destinations.

"What?"

"He blessed me with Luck +1. And trust me if I say this but without that, I would have died three times." Seth said truthfully.

"Haha. Well, to break your shell, luck can only be blessed once by any chief and also by anyone!" Zambia sad.

"I do not believe it!" Seth said bluntly. "I swear I'm telling the truth. It happened to me. Sadly I squandered it doing nothing important" Zambia added.

"Nah, I'm pretty sure that applies to you because you are too OP. As for me, it will be different!" Seth said this time there was a gloomy look on his face. The players were silent and seeing him being a bit upset for just telling the truth, they shushed Zambia to stop.

"So you are going to track the nomadic people now!" Allen asked Seth and he nodded but clearly, he didn't want to talk about it.

"Here, use this sealed insect. Wherever it flew, that was the direction they were in!" He said. Seth was taken aback but he nodded with a smile.

"I think the dragon left!" Seth said.

"Let us wait more hours!" Juma said. And they waited for a long time before they agreed to come out. The red river has shrunk considerably due to prolonged exposure and Seth took in the rest.

Seth muttered silently, 'Retina: string defence!' Then he looked at Allen suspiciously and asked, "what was that?"

"We shall ask you that? You should have spoken before you used bloodmancy to encase us!" Fist said. He still remembered the first time it was used to imprison them.

"So, next time I shall keep you out?" Seth asked an irritating question.

"Yes..." Fist agreed but was stopped by Zambia and he asked Allen what was that. "Why was the Deceit dragon flowing us!"

"What is a deceit dragon?" Seth asked as he caressed his compass that just saved their life.

"It's a strange dragon that has various powers. One of which was the mimicking voice of humans, tapping into communication devices, innate knowledge of secrets, conversation, disguise and others." Rena explained, "it's a peculiar dragon that kidnapped humans from various sanctuaries. It's rumoured that when a group of 20 powerful people meet the dragon may arrive there!"

"20?" Zambia frowned at that moment when a group of 9 players appeared from a distance, they all had dark cloaks, and one of them had a red cloak.

"It seemed you survived!" A tall boy with broad shoulders and dark skin commented.

"Yep. We did. You were here all this time?" Allen asked. The people were the ones they were supposed to meet.

Suddenly, Seth's compass rotated fast like before, Zambia and the rest have their attention attracted with a grimace. A second later, a force appeared before Seth, some one has crashed into a thin layer of red string.

A string of red liquid that Seth deploy for his protection when he muttered strings of defence

But the person reversed time by a second, and appeared right before he crashed, meters away from the strings with a gun facing Seth.

Bang!

The bullet was red coloured, and so Seth's green cloak shifted to red and moved fast and enveloped it.

Boom!

The explosion was redirected elsewhere but then he reversed time again and appeared before he shot the gun, this time the bullet was silver, and the green cloak didn't react to that.

Bang!

Seth was sent flying back and then a silver explosion happened. His armour has become hard and the cloak protected his face and exposed hand.
