Temporal Pearls

The martial master might be proficient and strong but he has to conserve his energy.

As he moved away made Flying Car 'Techman' to fire his own bout of energy from his device.

The Sniper 'Blast Hand' also attacked using a very long rifle followed by Captain Navy energy claymore strike.

This bombardment happened one after the other but the six leg ball strings held on strongly but then another person entered the prayer.

One that wasn't recorded.

A pulse of power appeared and all the remnants of the attacks began to seep through the strings.

The strings tightened more but it was already vibrating thus making the energy seeped easily.

Seth hadn't anticipated this form of attack and he quickly checked the book to see who had this strange ability.

He frowned as he stared at the 10th soldier that was unknown and he concluded he was behind this.

Seth folded his leg and hand and his caped around him as the seeping force reached him and shook him from the inside.

Finally, the information about the last figure was disclosed.

But Seth paid attention to the force that reached him and wreaked havoc inside.

The only good thing was that he was wrapped inside his cape and also his Force fields were defending him.

But in just four seconds all the ten forcefield defenses were shattered and now he was inside a glass shield.

While that was happening, Magic Binder raised his hand and clasped them together. Immediately, the forces inside the six leg ball strings exploded outward.

The force shouldn't be enough to tear the string apart but for some unknown reason the strings began to unweave itself, exposing what was inside.

The good side was that the energy was used off and Seth was now free to breath.

Vice captain Shema stepped forward and he blurred and appeared within the unfolding weave, Seth already took away the glass shield when he saw an attack coming toward him.

'....pulse'

He knew they would attack when they saw an opening and prepared Dragon Pulse from his Red Stripe.

However, Shema was very fast and perceived that the force was coming.

He was already escaping the skill. Seth on that moment smirked. He might not be seeing the fleeing man as he was too fast but he knew when his trap caught a mouse.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Seth has already deployed one of the Cardinal Sound. It was imperceptible to the normal ears and not harmful in short time but in the long run there will be something wrong, especially when the volume of the sound suddenly increases and decreases.

Shema was meters away from the influence of the pulse but his body tensed and that slowed him down abruptly but he picked up speed second later to move away but sharp strings strike him, aiming at his joints that have less protection.

Shema's energy shimmered around his full body armour and defended him against the spikes. The strings wrapped around him and pulled him toward Seth very fast.

In that short exchange, Seth's hand extended towards him but missed him.

The soldiers were well informed about strange battle tactics of Seth and they know he doesn't make anything with zero reason. Even his smile has a meaning.

Stopping, Shema waited to see if there was anything wrong with him but didn't find it and he looked at Seth, nothing was amiss.

"Haa!" He sighed in relief.

Reports said if Seth made that gesture his opponent would become weak and feel dizzy.

Shema stood and he still felt no dizziness.

[Health: Excessive Bleeding]

He frowned and at that moment he also noticed he was not hearing normally.

He can hear the winds and other things movement but as he looked back at Captain Navy, the man made a gesture of him to pull back. At that moment, he realized he couldn't move.

He then looked at their prey that was encasing himself in the strings with no care. "What did he do to me?"

Silently, he dropped to his knees and he fainted.

Shema was pulled away. Captain Navy checked his conditions but even with their information about Seth's battle ways they were perplexed about what happened.

"He will be fine if he is left to recover. I believe in about an hour or so he can be in fighting shape!" Martial Master said.

As someone who used his fist and body to battle, he studied a lot about how to be in good shape and healthy. So, he can deduce the condition of Shema, their Vice Captain.

Unfortunately, they were dealing with an anomaly, and he was said to be mysterious as he was resourceful. Who knows what nefarious thing he has done now.
Experience exclusive tales on empire

Seth was surrounded by ten powerful Blue Irons Cloud Team. He was still floating, his eyes lazily looking at them and his strings were still an enigma.

Captain Navy used his eyes and tried to read the situation and also gazed at the sky, they can prolong this to night for them to use that weapon but they also know Seth has connection with the moon.

What if he became stronger and more Illusive? What if their only chance was now when they could trap him.

His gaze looked at the ground, he could see Earthore, the man was using his power to hold the Red Magic Book. But what if Seth has a way to retrieve it? If they delay and he regained his book the story will change.

"Let stoll." Protect me!" Captain Navy said.

Blue Iron Cloud were professional treasure hunters, and they have gone after almost every treasure they heard in Gawee. They even went to Red Valley and stole stuff from them.

They were very resourceful and tactful.

The basis of their success was their ability to gather information and also having relevant skills that aid them in achieving their goals.

Not all adventures yielded successfully but they have a treasure trove of experience.

One of their most important skills belong to Earthore, the ability to bind artefact and magic tools to weaken their opponents.

They can even tame an entire dungeon or ruins to make it easy for them to travel through.

The next most important skill belongs to Dome Maker. He was able to observe from a distance and leant things most will miss and when he made a move he was able to succeed.

However, the thing that warrants the formation of the whole Blue Irone Cloud team was a skill that Captain Navy can use. No one knew what it was and how it can be used but it was very effective.

Captain Navy's body blurred and Dome Maker made Dome around him.

While that was happening, Techman and Almight attacked Seth to keep him occupied.

Captain Navy armour shifted and changed to long sky blue robes and he looked up at the blue sky, his eyes becoming pale blue and he activated a Unique Skill.

It was only for a second and he returned back to normal and appeared before his people before the dome around him was removed.

Captain Navy was able to peer through destiny just now and asked the question of the probability of winning.

The team weren't on suicide missions by overwhelming their opponents. Any time they saw a greater loss they pulled back until they prepared well.

The sad truth was Seth has incredible wealth that they can't just ignore and just now he saw what he owned and they badly desire but also see the danger ahead.

'He is not even taking them seriously!' Captain Navy muttered to himself. 'We have a greater chance to defeat him with ease during night time even with his advantages. But the sound, can we resist them? What about the paint he can animate!'

He was in dilemma for a moment before he looked at Almight harassing Seth and made a plan forward.

Almight was barely using his power when he heard a message to go all out.

A smile graced his manly face and his black beard shimmered with power. The man was handsome with natural born charisma.

His body swell and shimmering of dust appeared on his body before he focused his gaze on Seth.

Almight has the best immunity against everything among the team. In fact, apart from fatigue, they have never seen him fall to any kind of curse or status effect. Heck, the man doesn't bleed easily, even his bloods cause damage to people.

Seth was alert, from the very beginning he knew danger didn't come from other tricks but from this brute. He had faced someone that can use dust before and he had his ass handed to him.

The sad thing was that this man seemed stronger than the girl.

"What in the pearl was that dust?" Seth wondered. It can seep through defenses and cause his harm.

Even when the Mage uses his ability to seep the force, Seth can see that the dust force wasn't touched as if he can't affect it, and it was already seeping on its own.

"I shall not clash with him!" Seth made up his mind.
