Chapter 286: Unexpected Gains
Not long ago again, Temra saw him turn a powerful dragon legacy to a stone. That legacy was ranked below her own and yet it was dominated with no injury to Seth.
Heck, he gazed at the body of Ancient Cloud Dragon with minimal injury and later he shattered a Destiny and carved something out of it.
Temra exhaled as she shifted herself from Vera and Vela's banter. She won't care what Vera does but as long as they escape it is fine.
Another thing was, her ego was no longer hurting, Seth was that great, she wouldn't mind being his captive.
***
Seth was standing before the sixth ingredient, it was a sunflower. All he had to do was to capture an insect that ate one of the seeds.
He immediately did that, then he drove back to the Stele.
~Human. Before you returned, have you thought it through? We need to finalize the contract here before we leave the stele.~
Vera spoke.
"Yes. There won't be any problems if I release you. But it will be great if I befriend you and make you guardian of Root Village"
~It's better to kill me or make a baby with my body using the womb than to succumb to that fate~
Vera said with anger. She will never serve this human.
Even though, as she wanted to escape him she was feeling that her mind and body were succumbing to his nature.
She feared being nurtured to serve him, especially now that she knew he could bend the dragon's mind to his will.
"Okay, but I'm wary of you"
~Oho. Will Breaker is afraid of us. Amazing~ she teased.
~I'm going to teach you how to make a standard contract that is linked to powerful overseers. If you created the contract and we all signed it. Afterward we tell you the solution~
"I know the solution. It's aspecto of a specific dragon."
Seth said nonchalantly. He has long guessed what the solution was and he was confident it was an Aspecto.
~True but you didn't know whose and what type. You see, Temra gave you Temperature Manipulation but she has Diamond Manipulation, Light manipulation, Sunlight Absorption and other related skills~
Vera explained
~Vela gave you Velocity and Momentum but she has Ethereal speed that allows her to possess and increase the speed of an ally and objects. She has Inertia Control, she has Eyes Of The Still World among other things.~
~As for me. Each of my 40 special scales have distinct ability and by the time I master them all, I will be bonafide True Adult Dragon~
Seth nodded in understanding.
~Even if you know the dragon you won't know the Aspecto. Beside there are special dragons that won't ever yield even after death without the will of other dragons. This one was the same.~
There was chilly melancholic silence in the air.
~It hurts my ego and I will carry the sin for the rest of my life but it's better than serving you. And yes, you won't kill the dragon or capture it. Just let it go~
"I see you are rehearsing your bargaining ability on me" Seth said mockingly.
She didn't answer.
What happened next was she listed to him another set of ingredients but this one seemed very different.
They consisted of wood fragments of special trees as well as any stones found around the five Dragon King Courts. Which made him take a long detour to gather them.
Seth frowned after he picked the last one as he checked the sun. He then urged Little Cub to speed up.
An hour before sunset Seth returned to the stele.
~You will have to use one of your finest papers. Maybe that D rank canvas~
"I didn't say I agree yet"
She didn't answer. He was reminding her in case she may want to withhold the contract forming knowledge but she didn't.
Before making the contract, Seth brought out the seven ingredients listed by the stele.
Sunflower Seed, Moon Flower Seed and the two Insects that usually feed on them, Void Leaf, a water from Creek Puddle, Four Dragon Water Essence, 10 liters of Vela Water Essence and Red Stream Pale Essence.
Seth opened the two tiny Insects from a container and brought out the Moonflower and Sunflower seeds and placed them in a cup.
He then wrapped the two insects in the Void Leaf. The leaf has shades of purple, violet and indigo on it.
Creek Puddle has a mixture of sand, silt and clay in it. He sieves the water clean and poured it inside the cup together with the seeds.
The soil was then mixed with the Void Leaf.
Four dragons were the Vela, Vera, Temra and Luana, Seth brought out their blood from the womb and used the Red Signature Book fission ability to separate the water in the blood.
Everything else he placed them in the cub while the water he kept aside.
Luana didn't have blood but somehow he got white liquid from the bones inside the womb.
There will be a need for a lot of Vela's Water Essence, so the blood he got from her was higher than the rest.
The Red Stream Pale Essence was a red stream when he channeled his Pure White Stone Will. His will now was injured but recovering but still he got a drop
The moment he dropped the white drop in the cup, the ingredients inside melted and became white smoke, he quickly added the soil and Void Leaf with the insects inside.
The white smoke became liquid again before it dried. The two insects were still alive though. Now he must add Vela Essence Water as well as the residues.
Soon, only the two insects remained and they were the one that ate everything and drank everything.
Seth felt another déjà vu, as he remembered Earth Emblem Flower and Dandelion.
But there was not that eerie feeling. The two insects fought and Seth felt his head aching as one will feed on the other.
'Why am I doing this?' Seth asked, 'am I being controlled!'
Seth faintly sensed someone spoke but he didn't hear what was said but he continued to watch.
He didn't know which insect won but it bloated as if pregnant before it created a massive egg, the size of its body. Even its body converted to the egg too.
Then a white worm was born from it. The worm grew by eating its shell before it secreted normal looking water before it dissolved by the water it secreted.
[Seven N'day Step Potion Successful]

Seth stared at it before he drank the whole thing. It tasted normal like water.
He looked at his body and saw all the tattoos on his body glow bright and his Will growing back to normal but with additional depiction on it.
Seth summoned Red Diamond and Clear Crystal Stone and held them in case something was amiss.
Suddenly, he felt a tug in his mind, his mental energy was being sucked violently.
He momentarily lost consciousness and saw a deluge of translucent water moving toward a hidden realm in his mind where a baby was emitting terrifying mental energy enough to drown a thousand kilometers.
The translucent water existence vanished inside the small realm.
The baby made a strange face as if he drank a bitter medicine, on his body was Blood Aura Flower Pathways glowing due to the potion Seth just drank and now the baby drank.
The place was then healed back and Seth felt he had become normal. As if the leaking of a water dam was sealed away.
[Strength +5]
[Agility+5]
[Stamina +5]
"Hoorah" Seth shouted happily as if it was permanent.
The level up, the Class Ascension all warrant improvements but the leak prevented that as it weighed on the body but now healed, he got this.
To everyone, this was nothing, to Seth this was great.
[You have developed Minor Physique Force]
"Hahaha. Yes" Seth can already infer this was due to Aspectos in his body.
Dragons have a special force around their body, they use it to talk and also fight.
[You have developed Minor Brain Force]
"Yes. Keep coming darling!"
Seth can be easily manipulated as long as the prize was some strength for his body.
Vera knew she had him in her thumb from the very beginning. Seth knew that too but how can he resist?
[Aura Sight has evolved and reached (S+Rank)]
"Dragon Burtali, you are great. Hehe!" He was in euphoria.
[Aura Sense has evolved and reached (S+Rank)]
Seth shook his head in happiness. He knew for sure that all these were just side effects of what the potion did—sealing that being in him.
And also by having Minor Force around his brain allowed his eyesight and aura sense can take some beating too. Things that may stung him before will now be normal.
Soon he was exhausted, his mental energy was now limited but it was for the better.
Seth immediately thought about something and checked.
[Exertion Point: 10/12,000]
It has grown but he only has 10 points available. No wonder he was feeling fatigued.
~Do it now before the Sacred Stele turns off~ Vera chose the time to strike her plans
Seth smiled ruefully and began making the contract.
Hemay have benefited greatly but in truth Dragon Burtali benefited more.
