Seth stood before the three First Painting Canvas Replicas he acquired with a smile and then he stored them away. That was a reword when he finished the paintings but he was so out of place that he went out, sadly, he t with Black Tar that dragged him away.
He looked at the new serial Quest that appeared.
[Serial Quest]
Copy First Painting 100,000 tis.
[Reward]
~Glean the secret of the painting!
~First Painting Canvas Replica (F)!
_______
"First Painting Canvas Replica (F)?
Nothing much changed but he now can get (F) rank Canvas Replica instead of (F-).
Seth was smiling ear to ear because (F-) on its own was great but he got (F). An amazing idea ca to him but before that, he decided to just watch the whole Secrets of Painting at once.
Ten minutes later Seth ca out, his body a bit hazy and his eyes blank. He has beco colour-blind and has zero emotions.
The subsequent secret wasn't about the Queen but about her palace that seed to have been made using sketches alone. There was no colour but rather masterful art by pencil or to be precise black ink.
Seth's mind was engrossed to the point of obsession to understand the aning and the possibility of creating a painting that seed to house a world but in doing so, his ntal Power was consud and his Emotion were also consud.
In another way, what he saw beca alive and vibrant. So sketches of plants and flowers even began to have colours and scents on their own.
Hours later Seth recovered with a newfound understanding. All he saw from the secret was what he had copied but rather his mind now easily assembled them in order. The reword made use of his ntal power to bring them to life. That was his newfound conjecture now.
However he also now has such a new skill.
Motion Picture Skill.
By underlying sketches, in a special order, he can make that sketch move. Seth can do that but not to the level of this skill. With the skill, he can make it move and any onlooker will find it moving, regardless of their vintage point.
"I'm sure that the skill will get stronger when I finish (F) and even push it to (F ). Perhaps I will get a new skill at (E-)"
Seth surmised.
Well, Seth has many things to do, so he put that aside and went to his other activities.
*****
"Retina, you have to be understanding, if we don't find a suitable location you will have to choose Vela Cave or Temra Canyon or agree to be Living Roots residents. And there is even a Silent Veil village." Seth grumbled as he walked out from Living Roots.
It has been many days now and it was ti for him to travel to Rena's sanctuary in search of Papermaking skills. He had used up the remaining 70,000 papers and he was dying to test the quality of the new (F) rank Canvas.
Usually, he moved around as Grade 1 or 2 but now since it was a long journey and he wanted to scare away most Abhorrent Monsters he stayed at Grade 3. His cloak has a silver moon colour which serves as camouflage under the moon.
His hand held a compass that was a bit cleaner than before. It was rusty when he first got it, now it seed like a polished iron and induced a sense of direction.
[Iron Compass]
~Level 23
~Category: Script Device
~Owner: Seth Enoch
~Use: Direction
[Description: A growth-type device that showed the direction of the fake village]
_____
As long as Seth has the general direction he wants to go then the Compass will guide him by fixing his minor errors. Also if he had a map or t soone that knew the place the compass guide beca better.
Not to ntion it rang an alert when dragons were nearby. Just as he was wondering when will the Compass grade up to 2 since it has passed 20 levels, the compass produces another pointer that has a dragon head and shows another direction.
Seth ran and jumped into a crevice and released his Grade 3 Aura to scare away an abhorrent monster hiding there. The dragon passed but Seth stayed down for so ti.
He checked his scribe book and watched as the quill wrote.
[I was just wondering when my Compass would grade up when my compass showed a dragon was approaching. It seed green in colour and moved very fast like most dragons. Its pressure indicated that it was a baby dragon but I don't want to ss with it, I want to reach Rena Sanctuary and obtain Paper making ability. Can I defeat it or what?
I now looked down to see how my scribe was doing but I'm amazed as it wrote all my adventures. I love this skill]
Seth smirked before he looked up, the dragon had co searching for soone. Seth observed it well. Its shape, size, colour, and the pressure it gave out.
All that observation was being scribed down in the book. Then the dragon flew away.
Seth ca out after he noticed the compass's new pointer was gone. He took so steps when a new notification alerted him.
"Damn!" Seth cursed.
[Hourglass Seed]
~Level: 2>3
~Category: Curse Gift
~Owner: Seth Enoch
~Use: Influence Flowing
[Description: An extrely rare device that affects the flow of things]
He knew for sure, his danger encounter would increase. Especially now that he was far from ho.
The compass vibrated and a new pointer ford that showed the direction of a dragon. Seth didn't know what to do as he frowned.
"Should I go back to living roots and let the danger run out? No. Last ti it took one week for the danger to abate for levels 1 and 2. I don't have ti"
Before he decided the dragon was already closing very fast and Seth looked at it. It was the green dragon from before.
"I don't want any trouble, I just want to reach sowhere!" Seth shouted. Even as a Grade 3, Seth can still feel the dragon was a superior race and they impact the human psyche.
The first thing the dragon did when it was above Seth was release Dragon Breath, the ultimate killing attack by Dragon Race.
This was the first ti Seth faced a dragon head-on after he acquired his class because he always avoided them, so he was surprised to find that his Four Aspecto automatically activated and he obtained rudintary knowledge about the dragon he was facing.
Possible Trajectory Lines appeared in front of Seth's eyes and each one he wanted to take would be automatic. His body armour emitted heat which reduced the green dragon's pressure from impacting him. Then every move and sound the dragon made was under Seth's observations and lastly, Seth felt less panicky as he observed everything with keen eyes.
Trajectory Lines was Vela Aspecto, the Velocity and Montum Dragon. The emission of heat was Temra Aspecto, the Fire Dragon. The sound he captured was Vera Aspecto the Drumming Scale dragon. The calm and keen eyes were Luana Aspecto, the moon dragon.
Ultimately, he noticed when the Dragon Breath would co but he surmised that there was no escaping it but facing it head-on. For that reason, Seth specifically observed it with Aura Sight and normal Sight before it hit him and he burst like a red bubble.
The dragon's breath was greenish and dense as if burning green liquid. It doesn't have much high temperature but makes the body vibrate and lose sweat very fast. One can feel his tongue sour as if he licks sour tree bark.
Seth materializes above the dragon holding his staff that expanded in the blink of an eye and ramd down. But the dragon was fast to escape.
"Envelope!" Seth muttered when he saw the dragon moving away. A thin red energy wrapped the dragon imdiately, before Seth clasped his hand with power, denoting contracting the red liquid and releasing its pressure.
The dragon was delayed as it struggled with the suffocating pressure Seth was able to bring out from Retina Red Liquid. That was as a result of his relentless training but the dragon broke free.
However, Elevated Staff was already descending fast and hard.
Bang!
The dragon was pushed toward the ground, nonetheless, it released a growl before its aura spiked up. It moved faster than before and ca straight to floating Seth.
"Pulse!.."
Bang!
The dragon was pulled down fast and slamd into the ground which created a small crater.
"Mantle of Slavery!"
The still-strong dragon flashed up in the sky very fast and no chain ca to grab it.
"Dragon Blood chain!" Seth shouted. The green dragon was already a bit far when it felt heavy pressure above it. A sense of danger from a superior overhead before it felt a dragon roar slam at it and it crashed down again.
From the beginning when he appeared on top of the dragon he put an older dragon small blood drop with a sealed aura. And when Mantle of Slavery didn't work he released the aura of the blood drop to make a chain and used the Drumming Scale to release a dragon roar.
Seth dropped to the ground and walked toward the disoriented dragon. However, the mont the green dragon realized he was being tricked there was no older dragon he jumped to run away but a more pristine chain than before sprang from the ground and wrapped around its neck and pulled it down.
Seth Grade was being pushed to Grade 4 but Seth refused and there was a bit of tal fortitude resistance but the dragon loosened. Even with that, it wasn't tad like other beasts.
"That was informative. But didn't I use this ability when I was in the air before?" Seth wondered but he realized whenever he used the ability he was always on the ground or the tree, never floating!
Seth stood before the angry dragon before he pulled his scribe book and read the scribed fight that happened between them with a smile. Knowing the chain would be gone in a second, he pulled out a heavy chain made of dragon blood and wrapped it around the green dragon.
"What is your na?" Seth asked casually as if interviewing a worker. The dragon's angry gaze and flare of aura increased, Seth ignored that and watched the now detailed information scribing as he observed the dragon more.
Suddenly the dragon's thin tail expanded and beca a spiky flail and swung toward Seth. Glass shield appeared.
Bang!
It protected him and the dragon opened its mouth and uttered so words.
~£¢€€€¢¥¥€~
Seth's body trembled and imdiately, his hair began to age and It fell off. His Grade rose to 5 imdiately and he felt his Grade was fighting sothing off his body.
[You have been Curse by Green Thorn Dragon]
[The Curse will destroy your hair, then your skin, then your flesh until its power is exhausted]
[Grade 5 Energy resisting the Curse effect on your hair and skin]
Seth beca bald, and any hair on his body fell off. Then his skin began to dry but Gawee Dot glowed and stopped the effect.
[Curse Exhausted]
Seth stared at what happened and that ti Mantle Chain broke but the dragon blood chain was there already.
"Hmmm. dragon curse. Interesting!" Ssth focused on his scribing as if nothing happened.
However, Green Thorn Dragon was surprised and scared now that he was feeling the aura of Grade 5 coming from his hunter. With his dragon Eyes, he can see a Halo around the person that pulses with life. That halo told him, he can't defeat this guy with ease.
"I defeated you!" Seth said casually. "Give up!"
The dragon just opened its mouth and released a low growl that had the power of Dragon Roar, to its dismay, the sound vanished and did not impact the human.
"Very underwhelming roar. But effective to surprise attacks!" Seth comnted as he looked at his book.
The dragon's body expanded a bit and released a heavy dragon aura. If it has not used one ti Dragon Breath it would have activated Dragon Might but alas it was futile.
"Hmm. This can't be called Dragon Might." Seth comnted before he looked at the dragon and said, "Your action from now will impact the rest of your race. Tell your na and I will let you go and also show rcy to all other dragons I will et from now on. If not, I will let my imagination go wild!"
There was silence, dragons are stubborn, prideful, and they will never bow to a re human. They will rather die than do that.
"I know you still have sothing that can make you escape but you are biding your ti for others to co!" Seth said. "I will ask you two more tis. What is your na?"
There was silence again, under Aura Sight, Seth could see the dragon's aura was changing, it was going to do sothing.
"Last ti, what was your na?" Seth asked. Now whatever the dragon was doing has reached its peak but waiting to see what Seth will do.
"Okay, now I have a reason to counter other dragon curses with your action. Since you could have saved everyone from my particular action but you didn't. I was actually praying you didn't because that will be no fun"
During that ti Seth Womb tried to co out three tis but he stopped it. The three dragons in Womb have a bad feeling about Seth's threat.
Green Thorn Dragon's body trembled and almost released the skill he was making when Seth pointed at its head but its dragon eyes showed that the human wasn't casting any skill.
Few dragons can see an aura, so when Seth projected his aura toward the dragon it was oblivious. The projected aura touched the dragon and seth will it to cause the dragon aura to shake.
At first, nothing happened but then the dragon felt sothing amiss and it imdiately activated the skill it was holding.
Its body quickly morphed into an elongated thorny vine with slender dragon limbs and a dragon head. The wings were leafy with thorns.
"Wow, I got another skill!" Seth comnted before he fell to his knees and scread.
~I need to attack, no, I need to run~
The dragon thought but it was like its body had frozen even though it escaped dragon blood chains.
~What is happening~
The human recovered, his body a bit red and his eyes almost popping. No doubt he has suffered painful sessions but there was a smile on his face. The halo around him also pulsed better than before
"Why is it whenever I defeat a dragon I get to bask in a spark of fire that is so painful but after that, I felt better. This ti even my halo level up" Seth comnted.
"Well, so this is your other form. Let describe that in detail. Hmm. This form can't be detained with chains. Sadly, I ssed with your aura, so you are in an internal prison!" Seth mumbled before he went back to the book...
~It makes my aura jumbled off and because of that, I can't move. Who is this human? He said anyti he defeats a dragon he faces a painful spark, is this human a dragon hunter? Impossible, no dragon hunter can live for long in Gawee!~
"You are weaker now, but faster and easy to hide!" Seth comnted. After so deliberation, Seth then said, "Shall we begin now!"
The dragon was confused as he saw the human arranged tools in front of it, and then a white large paper was spread on one of the tools, a board.
The human smiled as he used a thin thorn to sketch sothing invisible before he put the thorn away and looked at the dragon, it felt a chill down its spine.
The human walked toward it and raised his hand, cracked his fingers and grabbed the dragon's head but didn't hold the head and pulled.
There was so straining, and the human face was serious as if dragging sothing before he slamd at the white surface.
The human smiled as if he accomplished sothing great. He brought another tool, a chair, and sat on it.
The Dragon was confused about what happened as it found itself fine. But then the human stood and said, "I'm already having custors. Good. Please excuse !"
The Green Thorn Dragon heard another dragon coming their way and now the arrogant human was going that way. So monts later, a dragon roared and the battle sound ca then silent.
But then it noticed sothing, on one part of the white paper, its image was forming. Dragons have a good sense of how powerful they were and so it felt weakened by very small rging. As ti went on, it felt the image forming was becoming vivid so also its presence while it was weakening.
It focused and sensed the true danger, and that was it might gradually lose its life like this but it can't.
"Aha, look how handso you are!" The voice of the human ca to the dragon's ears. He was the sa with no injury, behind him was floating red and sothing fell from it.
A brown-scaled dragon that has no limbs, only wings. It was unconscious with a bleeding mouth.
"I will take your blood too, you know I like studying dragons!" Seth said with a smile. Before he comnced to do that, though, it was harder to cut the dragon.
Just like the first one, the second one obtained a sketch and it began to appear beside the first one.
~Who are you?~
The dragon asked and the human looked at him with surprise. "I thought you didn't speak. But I'm working now, wait till I finish, okay love!"
Seth's carefree attitude infuriated the dragon but also scared him. How can the human defeat two dragons with ease at the sa ti?
"Ah, this portion of the canvas is saturated, congratulations. Your image will be immortalized!"
~Are you going to kill ? My ancestor's curse will affect everyone connected to you if you do not have permission to kill us, dragon~
