Temporal Pearls
Chapter 42 - 42: Multiple Lightning

Seth was drenched in just a few seconds and he did well to avoid ice hitting his head as he quickly went back inside the cottage.

Achoo!

"You gotta be kidding me. I caught a cold?"

Achoo!

Damn!

Seth brought out Soothing Gourd and he gulped a mouthful of it.

Ding

____

[Soothing Gourd has improved by 0.0001% due to the Multitude Elemental Minerals Rain!"

____

"Aha, is that how I can improve it?"

Seth opened the cottage door and despite the geysers of rain that were propelled into the cottage due to violent wind, he placed the Soothing Gourd outside.

Ding

_____

[Soothing Gourd Improving 1% per minute]

_____

Seth didn't know what improvement it would have but he was happy with the new development. He just sat to avoid the rain when...

Ding

_____

[Quest]

~Collect different Elemental Minerals from the rain!

[Reward]

~Multitude Elemental Minerals Water

[Failure]

~You will catch cold

____

"Okay, that's a new development!"

Achoo!

"I have already caught a cold. Did I need to find a specific type of Mineral water to heal myself?"

Without thinking much, Seth brought five foldable barrels and unfolded them. They were water tanks made of special soft material by the villagers.

Seth activated his Physical Armor and its Helmet which sprang from the hood the jacket had. This was his preparation for the falling heavy hail.

Seth dragged the foldable barrels outside and he began to set them.

~Size Reschedule!

Seth kept shortening and extending his Staff while he struggled to move around.

The wind was strong, it threatened to throw him away, so he had to increase the heaviness of the armour.

At the same time, he has to work with his two arms. So he kept his Staff in a short state and placed it in his mouth.

The moment he felt strength leaving his legs, he grabbed the Staff, extended it and placed it on the ground, that would buy him a few seconds of standing straight.

After long arduous work, he managed to set up only one water barrel. He dragged his exhausted body back to the cottage and gasped.

Ding

______

[Multitude Element Mineral Water Collecting]

Water Harvest (1/10)

____

"Only one… pant…. Why only one?"

Seth looked at the Soothing Gourd outside, in the rain. Without it, he can't recover fast. He crawled and took a Soothing Gourd from the rain and drank from it.

Instantly, he felt satisfied!

He looked at the Gourd, its golden yellow body was shining and also busy absorbing the moisture in the air!

Seth began to wonder how he could gather different water elements. The barrel he set was gathering only one type of element.

He summoned his courage and went out and set another barrel. To Seth's dismay, there was no notification.

He set another, and another one, until he managed to set all five barrels but there was no notification!

"How am I going to fetch different water elements!" Seth shouted with frustration. He looked at the barrels. They were all the same.

"Maybe I need a different container to harvest different elemental rainwater."

Seth set two different foldable buckets outside, but there was no notification.

"Maybe I have to find a way to separate them. But how."

An idea came to him!

Joyfully, Seth made a sieve using sticks and a net, then he arranged stone inside. After that, he placed the sieve above one of the buckets and took it out in the rain.

The rain fell on the rocks, then seeped between them, and dropped in the bucket!

Ding

______

[Harvesting Rock Element Water]

Water Harvest: (2/10)

______

"Haha! Good." Seth was delighted for cracking the quest.

But there was much to do. There are 8 more remainings.

Seth brought out a fine cloth and made another sieve using sticks. He placed clean sand on it. And then placed the sieve over the bucket. He takes the bucket out in the rain.

Ding

____

[Harvesting Sand Element Water]

Water Harvest: (3/10)

____

"Good, now what should I use now?"

Seth arranged sticks, fastened them together and then put them on top of a wide container.

It's the last big container he has.

Ding

Water Harvest: (4/10)

_______

Kwat!

Kwat!

Seth stood at the cottage door as he stared at the downpour. From time to time, a block of fist-size ice will hit the ground and his cottage before shattering.

Seth squinted his eyes as he saw there was something different about the ice. Some emitted bluish colour smoke, some red, others green. In fact, there were varieties of colours.

But one thing that brought Seth's attention was from time to time, one will have a crackling of electricity in it. But in seconds the ice will melt and turn to water and the phenomenon will vanish.

He thought of collecting them but… but he shook his head. He was already having trouble harvesting rainwater. Surely, Harvesting ice blocks is close to impossible.

He threw that thought and had his eyes darting around hoping to gain an idea on how to harvest different rain elements when his eyes landed on the forest.

There are countless trees that rain was falling on, then flowing on them to the ground.

"I can harvest the water flowing on them as Water Elements, right?"

Seth grabbed his Soothing Gourd and fastened it to his hip. Then he brought out all the things in his pocket's inventory and counted the jars he had.

There were 20 foldable jars and three hard flasks and one water bottle the size of his arm.

The foldable jars were flexible and can expand like a balloon when filled with water. But they can also carry other things apart from water.

They were multipurpose!

Seth arranged all the jars by fastening them to his hip and set the bottle and three flasks on his back.

He grabbed his Staff and activated his armour and wore his helmet, then he brave the heavy rain.

The soil was wet and soft, his boot sank as he walked. The wind pushed and pulled, making him sway in its direction.

From time to time, Seth trembled when thunder crackled in the sky. His eyes will be overwhelmed and he has to stop for a time to regain his sight whenever lightning flashes.

Boom!

White lightning! Seth's vision turned white!

Boom!

Blue lightning! Seth's vision turned blue!

Boom!

Golden lightning! Seth's vision turned to gold!

.

.

.

.

For every lighting colour, Seth's eyes will experience that colour to the extreme. In just a short period, he felt his head swirling and aching.

He quickly grabbed Soothing Gourd and drank from it. At that moment, he felt the aching abetting but three seconds later it was back.

Achoo!

He sneezed, and his body paled, paler than he normally was. Not to mention he felt cold seeping into his bones, making him shiver.

"Damn! I forgot this continent is a high-level area. Where even Dragons dwell!"

Seth mumbled!
