Temporal Pearls

Chapter 142: Serodo

His finding about this function was life-saving. And to his delight, the blood crodo dissolved and became the file of blood again.

[You have slain Blood Crodo]

[Level Maxed, you can't obtain EXP]

Any time Seth saw this, his mood went dry. He clicked his tongue in annoyance but held his eyes on the mist, which was moving now. And then, it began to make another crodo. Seth killed it, and it made another one, and Seth killed it.

This happened four times before the blood turned black and dried.

"Blood crodo are dangerous. Thankfully, it was easier to kill with a normal strike!"

Thinking of that, something rammed at him and sent him flying away.

What rammed at him was the first Blood Crodo. It was smarter as it grabbed his hand and ripped it out, blood spread and Seth felt pain stinging his head.

The blood crodo was about to bite his other hand, and Seth pulled it away. It changes its tactics by jumping into the sky and increasing its weight. When Seth's floating short sword attacked it, the bloody body twisted and avoided it in time.

Bang!

[Health: Injured>Serious injury]

Before the creatures jumped again, Seth attacked it with the sword but it moved fast and avoided it. The next time, the blood crodo slammed at the short sword, Seth's control over it was cancelled and it was sent into the encroaching mist.

Then turned to Seth, but before it reached him, a mangled crodo arrived and another fight began between them.

Seth pulled himself away and watched as the blood crodo was dragged away from him.

The red stripes might be inactive due to their digestion, but the effect of increased bleeding was still there.

[Health: Serious Injury+Anemia]

Seth used his other hand and pressed the yanked hand and stopped the blood, thankfully the pain wasn't disturbing him. But that was when he noticed something bad.

His ripped hand was from palm to elbow, now it was within the mist, not only that, it was floating and absorbing it like water. The blood that he spilt was being moved there too and transforming into something.

An indescribable horror appeared in his heart as he watched his clone being formed. A clone that has a rough crocodile body.

Ding!

[You have been cloned by the Silver Mist]

[Emergency Quest]

[Asteroids from the sky bring about different calamities to the world. The most forbidden and abominable happening, was when a loving exceptional individual was cloned]

~Kill it at all costs or prevent it from being enthralled by the Crodo Race

_____

This quest has no penalty or reward, as Seth can already feel the danger and knows what will happen if that thing is complete.

Sadly, he had no weapon with him to attack it, nor did he have any means of a long-range attack. He felt for the first time the limitation of relying on a single weapon.

"What the fuck?"

The clone has Seth's aura manipulation, which means, if by any means Seth had more abilities, he would have gotten them, suddenly, there was an update in the ability.

~Abilities: Aura Manipulation, Weight Shifting, Evolution, Aura sight,

___

It got an aura sight, and the next moment, Seth saw more abilities pop up. The mist that was there to fuse with the dragon blood fused with the clone more and made it more perfect.

In the end, the mist that remained was small, there was no fear of it reaching the Feathered Dragon but there was dread as Seth watched his replica with the skin of a crocodile standing in what remained of the mist.

_____

Sath gulped down as he watched the damn creature's ability. With a glance, he was able to understand what they were and how they came to be.

The ability that resembles his, the creature got them from him. However, Seth might not have telekinesis, he has abnormal mental force, which granted the creature that ability.

Skin, bone and weight manipulation were the ability of crodo. Suddenly, red spread throughout the body of the creature and….

Kaboom

It exploded into the mist. "Haha great." Seth was happy.

The cause of that was Red Manipulation and it's a signature gift given to him by Retina, his OP wife. The ability just reacted and killed the creature because it wasn't meant to be used by it.

But then Seth wondered, can Retina kill him with the red signature? Yes, Seth can feel it, he might be at her mercy. Suddenly, more scenarios pop into his mind. What if someone brainwashed her and then made her hate him, would she kill him?

"Damn it. I should have built a very good relationship with her. What if she grows older and hates me, or decides that I'm a hindrance to her."

But there was also that part that said if he died, she died, "hmm. Maybe she won't kill me on a whim, right?

Seth's head was heating up with many possibilities when he saw another cropping problem. The blood and mist his clone exploded into were coagulating as the remaining mist fused with it.

Without wasting time, Seth ran around it and grabbed his staff. Sadly, it felt like a random stick. If Seth didn't have aura he would be doomed because fusing aura reactivated it and turned to attack the reforming clone.

With the intention of using the trace of a six-wing dragon strike aura.

But turning around, Seth's body froze in place. The head of the Serodo had formed and it was floating, looking at him.

Seth's skin and bone were taken over by the clone. He can feel the connection with the creature, there was this desire from clones to be the original.

"You will never be the original!" Seth said.

The clone's rough skin frowned but couldn't say a thing as his torso was forming. In another minute the clone was finished.

At that time, Seth crodo jumped into the house. Its level was 3 now as it killed Blood Crodo but looking at the clone, it welp and jumped back, escaping.

It did not stop but went out of the forest completely. The fear was so enormous that it overrides the Seth order.

"I wished it would stay. It's like me right?" Serodo asked, confused.

Seth was surprised by the voice, it felt like him but the intelligence was off the chart.

"Who are you?" Seth asked.

Serodo tilted his head confused, "I don't know. Do you?" He looked innocent and genuinely not aware of what was happening.

Seth called the clone status and was surprised. The damn thing has become stronger.

_____

"What the hell?"

Seth was terrified by what he saw. He quickly thought of controlling his staff with aura and killing it but then the crodo moved fast and controlled Seth's bones in the hand to open and yank the staff.

"Why do you want to kill me?" The hideous crocodile skin clone asked in fear.

"Future Prediction and intuition!" Seth said as he breathed deeply. His mind was racing fast coming up with ideas but none were feasible.

'Being smart is being stupid' Seth thought, "you want to kill me!"

"No. I didn't!" Serodo denied.

"Silent. carefully listen to your thoughts, what do you feel!"

At first, the clone was confused before he frowned and then his face lowered down in anger and then anguish. Then he sighed and looked at Seth with understanding.

"The dragon blood is the prize!" He said, his innocence and confusion were almost gone. "They wanted it because it has a legacy in it."

Serodo looked deeper into the house where the dragon's blood was sealed. "It was very rare to get a dragon legacy and that is why this invasion was solely for it. And you foolishly protected it!"

There was pity and forlorn in his tongue. But he didn't move toward the dragon blood despite Seth couldn't stop him.

"I still desire to get the blood because that was what the mission was. If I touch it, the craving will be gone. But I might change or I will take control of it;"

"What are you?" Seth asked.

"I'm Serodo. Your crodo clone. I have 15 abilities and more are coming… why did I tell you all that?" Serodo was surprised but then he smiled and looked down.

"Where are my penis and scrotum!"

Seth cloned and screamed at the imperfections.
