BXBX NOVEL Chapter 118: Aura Blood
"O...!" Seth stopped himself because at that moment he didn\'t know who he was speaking with.
"I have no time to waste. If your Will is lost in this place, you will die. You have potential and your brother Dave is waiting for you. Accept and then I will save you. Even I\'m being affected!"
It was the chief\'s voice speaking
"Nah, I\'m good. You see, I get to know people here. It might seem crowded but it\'s good!" Seth said and the voices became louder than ever and the chief\'s voice was nowhere to be heard again.
Crack!
Seth felt his will cracking again and he began to lose his sense of self, that was when an idea came to him. And that was to call his Red Valley given name.
"Sascile Redone!"
The whole noise calmed down and he saw a bright light amidst the never-ending red. He kept reciting his name. And that brought him close to the light, but the closer he got the more the stream of blood river pulled him back.
But he continued until he touched the light.
Ding!
[You have passed Red Valley Trial and you obtained a piece of land and a red flower of your own]
Ding!
[Green Hood Cloak is evolving]
[Red Stripes Obtained]
A streak of red outlines vertically on the green cloak. By touch, it still felt like a leaf, but more of a wet leaf with liquid moving inside.
"I\'m impressed. First, your mental strength is enough to keep up till the guardian himself comes and then you survive the flood of emotions and noises that could turn many individuals insane. Your Will must be stone!"
It hasn\'t been a minute since Seth was in that trial. He took a deep sigh as he observed his cloak but before he checked its new attribute an explosion occurred.
Kaboom!
It shook the whole town, from where Seth was, he noticed, ⅓ of the whole town was gone in flames. At the same time, something was running at them very fast.
The young chief angrily vanished and intercept whatever it was that caused another explosion in the sky. Before more explosions happened through harm and the combatant clashed.
That\'s not all, the ground shook, and then as if the whole world was flipping, the town was being turned from the ground level up.
The sky streaked with lightning and tried to defend the chief mansion.
"Death To Skylord!"
A chant of some sort began, the street was blooded as people that were once neighbours just turned enemies killing each other, the blood, however, began to be sucked out of them and became a moving and became floating river.
"What the hell happened!"
"The cult couldn\'t afford to see the chief succeed twice in a row!" A small voice said. He turned and met a young red beautiful woman.
"Come with me, you should nurture your red flower and obtain your Red Valley Ability before the fight ends!"
Seth followed her but couldn\'t keep his eyes off her. Her skin was red just like blood and she has a tail.
"I\'m a red-eye monster but a sane one!" She explained.
"Oh! Am I in trouble?" Seth said as he felt pressure weigh on him.
"All otherwolders trapped in Gawee are in trouble!" She said.
"Am I the success?"
"Yes. You are one of the successes. The other was me!" She said, "in a way we are twins."
"Hehe!" Seth laughed with sweat on his forehead. For all he knew, he might be killed and that would negatively impact his physical body which was a bad thing now that his family situation has devolved.
They reached a backyard with so many stalks of flowers but the flowers were magically floating centimetres above the green stalks.
"Choose anyone!"
Aura Sight
The bright colour he saw made him forget all that was happening. Each flower was like an egg wrapped in petals. As he went around, each gave him a different feeling and some even scared him but then he noticed one that wasn\'t giving him the feeling of anything, it was calmed, and he went close.
There are many of them and each one seems weaker than the imposing ones.
"Those aren\'t ripe yet!"
Seth nodded in understanding. So he looked from those that were ripening. He senses another soothing feeling from one among them. He then points at it.
"Are you sure? What you need is an attacked-oriented ability that could help you in your next mission!"
"Well, choose for me. I don\'t know what they are!"
"With your special eyes, you can perceive the pressure they give off. Heavy pressure means battle, soft pressure utility and no pressure unripe. However, what do you feel from this one?"
"I feel comfortable with it, just like the unripe one!"
"That one is definitely ripe. It\'s okay, you pick it up!"
Seth used both hands underneath the floating flower and Seth floated too. His whole body became red as red energy seeped into his body, his heart beat very strongly and he felt refreshed and intoxicated by the feeling.
After all that, he floated down with a smile.
"Outstanding choice. If you survive of course!" She said with a smile. Go ahead and put it on your body. Seth then placed it above Stone will and it dissolved into a tattoo of a red flower.
Immediately, Seth\'s body changed a bit and he felt energy coursing into his body.
"Good. I haven\'t seen someone with great attunement like that. Well, I\'m just 2 years old. What did I know? Anyway, you will be meeting with Dave for his mission! You have 12 hours, beyond that, you either escaped the valley or you stay dead."
Seth nodded. Things were moving faster without him knowing the reason but he didn\'t mind. She was about to touch him, he said.
"Can you plant this seed in my plot of land please even if I die!" Seth gave her a bag of seeds!"
"Where did you get them? A large forest from the north!"
"Living Roots! This is a great treasure. I will. But half of them are mine!" She said giddily.
Seth pretend to argue but in the end, he agreed. Then she tapped him and he appeared beside Dave and Redop side by side fighting against red hounds and wolves.
"You are late," Dave grumbled. For the first time, seth was able to notice something, on Dave\'s body there was a very faint colour of pale energy coming out and dissipating in the air. He looked at Redop and found he had the same but there was a portion of red in it.
He looked at his hands and we smiled wildly.

[Active Aura Progress: 99%]
But then it didn\'t budge, it got stuck while Dave was talking to him but he ignored him. Seth tried to remember all he knew about Aura from the large book. The Mind, the Body, the Emotions, the Spirit.
The moment he thought about them, the aura that was dissipating from his body lingered and with more thought, it fused to his body and he felt as if he was elevated. His attire and staff were all he felt in him and he just released the staff and it floated close to him
His Green-Red Cloak fluttered as if the wind was blowing his way. Seth felt at that time he was invincible. With a thought, the staff shortened and became a blade then with a flurry of elevated strikes he killed all the wolves that surrounded them.
Then he felt the aura depleting and his control over staff was reduced, he grabbed it before it fell down. And he felt exhausted.
"Wow. What was that? Your green cloak had red now and. Why did your skin seem immaculate? " Dave asked.
Seth\'s eyes though were made crescent in happiness.
