Temporal Pearls

Not only that, Seth was able to wield it with more proficiency than before. He ate and called the stone again but this time, Seth's body emitted a red aura and Seth felt his head clear.

Shock filled his head as he looked around the living room.

The whole room was decorated with red flowers, and red tree bark and the floor was filled with red leaves. Not only that, he had made the elastic blood into paint and coated the wall with it.

The food he was eating was all mixed up with the red dye he got from the tree. His attire too was covered in red dye.

"When did I...?" Seth was speechless and that was when he began to remember. All this began when he initiated to train with Signature Red Gift for the very first time.

Things escalated when he began to manipulate blood.

And things became worse when he began to kiss and hug the red blood of the dragon as he tried to tap into its red and aura.

Seth checked his Pure White Stone will, it was still partially pure and tainted with red.

"The more I used Red Signature Red, the more I became obsessed with the red colour, borderline madness without realizing it!"

He sighed and then ran to an empty redfree room and closed it. He infused aura into the Clear Stone and the stone absorbed it till he was exhausted and fell asleep, when he woke up he grabbed the stone which further cleared his head and cleanses his Pure White Stone Will.

He repeatedly did that until he cleansed his will.

Ding!

[Congratulations]

[Pure Stone Will Level 5>8]

____

Seth's body trembled, and he felt a hidden shackle in his vessels release him. he became fully conscious of what he was doing.

Thankfully, it only took a day and the cub wasn't out to feed yet.

[Signature Red}

~Red Manipulation (D+>C-)

_____

"Is this a good thing?" Seth wondered.

But he shook his head and came out of the room. With a swipe of his hand, he made all the red things move to one place. Since his feet were touching the red leaves on the floor, that was possible. Added to that, he has a C- level of control.

That wasn't all, he felt like these reds aren't worth his time, as if he had outgrown them. But as his eyes landed on the blood of the dragon, he felt like touching it.

"Now, I know the reason. Signature Red is a double edge ability to me. It made me obsessed to the point of worshipping the red colour and the end result was, I may end up finding the need to go back to the red valley." Seth pondered,  "Did Retina know this before she gave me the gift, or was it pure coincidence!"

With that question, Seth's eye went blank and his iris sank into the sclera. One of his rewards was activated. That was a memory he obtained after surviving the clash of First Might and Dragon Might.

However, Seth's body behaved normally as it looked around. It was searching for something. While Seth's mind was engrossed, watching an outrageous memory of unfathomable existence.

~This boy's body is super fragile but his mind is outstanding. He took my conscious fully~

Seth's mouth spoke in deep Ancient Red Dragon language. And that made the whole mansion freeze and become red.

~He was blessed with Dragon Voice. Good. Retina has a great husband~

****

Seth on the other hand was seeing memory from a first-person perspective.

Right now he was in a meeting with other mighty existences that he can't discern properly.

But they are huge, mountains size huge as they argued in dragon tongue. Each voice carried power and made his consciousness almost slip and shattered but his mind healed and got stronger.

~We need to wipe out the Intelligent Worms, they are annoying me to no end~

First mighty existence spoke

~They have their importance. Killing them will leave the continent unchecked and those measly rising intelligent beasts will populate the land~

Second mighty existence retorted

~ I don't care. Those bastards find a way to commune with me in my slumber as I began to dream about them and how they need my help. I hate them disturbing my sleep~

First mighty existence roar!

~Last I checked you kill those that disturbed you~

Second mighty existence pacifies

~Hmm. These Iworms are clever. They knew about my anger at them. So, they commune with me in their enemies' area. When I turned the place to ash, I do their bidding. Do they think I'm some kind of killing machine they will trick~

First mighty existence explained.

It was a fire-breathing dragon complaining in the counsel of dragons. The one he was conversing with was a dragon with scales made of cloud, with every move they diffused but coalesce again. He appeared blurry and always drifting, while also a streak of lightning within. Its body shape seemed to shift and change proportion with every move.

~That is okay. They consider you a deity~

The strange cloudy dragon spoke

~No. Amma is listening. Do you want her to cast her negativity on me~

The fire dragon roared.

~Killing its new race of Iworms will piss her up more.~

The council of the dragons was long, as many dragons came with complaints and the strange cloudy dragon mostly dismissed them. Eventually, many dragons came with grievances about the Iworms and they requested for them to be eradicated.

Because intelligent worms have become increasingly intelligent and create new ways to commune with the dragon. They populate the continent faster than any creature and also tame beasts and also other strange creatures.

The only ones they didn't tame and best were the dragons. However, they managed to defeat and captured many hatchling dragons. those baby dragons were tamed by the Intelligent worms and extraordinary worms among the Iworms rode them like horses.

~We demand them to be wiped out from this continent~

Numerous dragon voices boiled their concern. However, among them, few aren't even concerned.

~Red, you have many congregations of the Iworms. What do you think? Should we wipe them out?~

The strange cloudy dragon asked Seth, or to be precise, the dragon Seth was seeing through his eyes.

"They have authentic red in their body. The more they proliferate, the more red appear~

A soft but red-inducing voice said.

~There are countless creatures with red blood in their body. They aren't exceptions~

Several young dragons chimed in with anger. They knew Red was unusual because he came from strange colourful dragons that were obsessed with red colour.

He had killed dragons just to play with their blood and any race with red blood, he considered them his creation or servant.

~They are special. As weak as Iworms we're, they are the first to kill a dragon. Iworms are the first to ride behind a dragon. Iworms are the first to feed on dragons and… Iworms are the ones responsible for striking fear in your hearts. You, Iconic dragons!~

They were speechless but then they burst into fury

~We are not afraid of those Intelligence worms~

~Yes, you are!~

It was banter and in the end, Red left the council and flew across vast land full of lush green, and animals of all kinds. Seth saw humans, with different skin colours ranging from Red, Blue, green, and many more.

Red reached a vast kingdom and flew above a 1000m mountain and entered his lair. He slumped on his vast treasure that was composed of red diamonds, red rubies, red gold, red flowers and many red stones and metals.

He wasn't there for long when 100 men came out of the mountains, they kneel and chant praise for some time before they left.

~Intelligent Worms and their wiered activities ~

Red mused as he could feel they were barely alive. The little pressure his body was releasing was enough to make them come close to death.

~So, weak~

Red commented

[30% Of Memory consumed]

From the memory, Seth has learned dragons called human Intelligent worms. That was due to their weak fleshy body but intelligent brains. He also learned that the early humans despite being weak, they strike fear into young dragons while some dragons were just wary while some were amused.

Seth woke up and he found himself standing before the dragon's blood touching it.

He quickly checked his will and found it still clean. He stepped back but a bout of dizziness made him fall asleep. He might have seen a memory fragment of a dragon but at the same time, his mind has been occupied by the Red Dragon.

After some time, Seth woke up and found the village devastated. Over ten animal carcasses, this time even their bones were eating.

Seth scowled, the only redeeming thing was the mansion was untouched. He checked the womb and found the damned hybrid cub sleeping peacefully.

"I waste my Village Point for nothing," Seth grumbled.
