BXBX NOVEL Chapter 105: Sascile Redone
The rain fell for hours before Redop brought food to Seth and implored him to stay in the room because the rain will last very long.
It was only after midnight did the rain stopped. Seth expected to hear the horrifying sound from the town at that time. That was the usual time for the supernatural to come out but it was strangely quiet. In fact, the world has become very quiet.
After 2 minutes seth was observing the sky and the silent town, he tapped his shirt slip, feeling that it should remind him of activating his eyes, and he whispered, 'Aura Sight!'
"Fuck!" Seth cursed as he stepped back in a hurry and fell on his butt.
Far above in the sky were countless red bubbles, floating, masking the whole sky like a dome above the town. There was no darkness of the night sky or even stars for that matter. Only an infinite number of red bubbles of various sizes bounced forward, trying to come into the town.
Few, among them, were those that have human faces on them. And they gave Seth a more uneasy feeling as he glanced at them
The menacing appearance of them as they blocked the normal sky and their push and pull toward the town made Seth petrified.
Sadly, the sound he made by cursing and his fall attracted the attention of two of the red bubbles. And as if they were given permission they entered the town and went straight to his location.
Tussss!
As the first one touched the window, the inscription from the inside glowed and the red bubble exploded, releasing a thick dense red fog that entered the room. Uncontrollably, Seth breathed in the whole fog.
Seth's eyes became blood red and he found himself having the urge to speak. When he resisted that urge, he raised his staff and slammed it on the floor.
Thankfully, no sound came out because where Seth slammed was a dense shadow cushioning the attack. Seth then regained control of his body and he was able to think.
However, under Aura Sight, he can still see the other Red bubble outside the window.
Understanding that Seth was fine, it moved back, and red electricity crackled on its body before it slammed at the window. No sound appeared but the inscription on the window dimmed down and the bubble carefully slipped through the glass window.
Being in the same space as Seth, the shadow began to convert to Seth's face, until it had his full facial expressions but red in colour, then it opened its mouth and tried to speak.
All this time Seth was petrified in place, unable to move.
What appalled Seth more was that everything the red face did was mimicked by his own face and no matter how he tried he couldn't stop himself.
"Sascile Redone!" Seth muttered as the red face moved its mouth forcing Seth to speak.
Outside, in the sky where the dense red creatures were, one of them, among those that were the size of a human, has its body vibrating.
It then condensed to a first size and then descended into the town. That was when a silent arrow appeared and struck the red bubble. It exploded into the red fog and it then flowed toward people's homes but a silhouette appeared and threw a sphere that sucked the red mist.
A light appeared behind Seth through the door and a paper was slid in. The paper floated and he read.
<Kill that thing!>
The truth was Seth's body was petrified, he couldn't move his body.
"Sascile Redone!" Seth was again compelled to speak.
Another Bubble from the sky condensed to a first and entered the town. But It was killed immediately and the fog was sucked away in the sphere.
"Sascile Redone!"
"Sascile Redone!"
The town protectors were busy killing and stopping the spread of the fog while every time they did that, Seth would say Sascile Redone and everything would repeat itself.
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the north of the town! Seth's heart gripped, the small sound he made allowed the two Red Bubbles to enter the town and now every time he spoke another one would come in, so what will happen now that a great explosion happened? he knows there will be chaos!

As Seth read the quest he saw a flood of the red bubble entering the town from the sky. The sight was nothing but appalling. And then well-organized battle-ready soldiers in uniform moved swiftly shooting with silent rifles and crossbows. Their steps and movement were fast and precise, and also silent.
With countless bubbles coming down, red fog spread, after they were killed, and the one that came after Seth spoke Sascile Redone had a smooth journey in that chaos.
It came and entered the room Seth was in but the inscription in the room glowed and caused it to explode. The fog also was breathed by Seth which made him raise his staff and hit the ground, but no sound.
Another one came, and the same thing happened until all the inscriptions on the walls were not glowing, their power had been exhausted. And by that time Seth's veins have all become very pronounced and we're crimson in colour.
With no more powered inscription, the fist-size red bubble came into the room with no problem.
The red face replica that has been making Seth called Sascile Redone rushed and entered Seth's body, the crimson veins that appeared all over his body, bulging more almost rapturing.
[Health: Very Good>Good>Blood tension]
[-10 Exertion Points]
[Exertion Points: 60/70]
Due to the intensity of his situation ten exertion points were consumed.
In the meantime, the fist-size bubble was expanded until it was as big as Seth and then it transformed into Seth's doppelganger.
At that moment, Seth lost his body control and he stood and dropped the staff.
The shadow underneath Seth slipped and entered the red doppelganger shadow that caused it to stretch and exploded into a red fog that was denser than before.
The thick fog was breathed in by Seth and he opened his mouth and said, "Sascil Redone!" With high pitch.
Three fist-size bubbles came, one trmaofmed into red Seth, one sipped into the shadow red Seth, and the last one transformed into Seth's staff.
When the shadow underneath Seth slipped into Seth's red replica, a tusss sound was heard and a thick fog appeared which Seth breathed in, this time he didn't do a thing. When the shadow tried to destroy the red doppelganger, the red staff jumped into Seth's red doppelganger and prevented it.
The time taken before the shadow won was enough for whatever was happening to Seth to finish. And that was...
Seth mimicked his doppelganger mouth movement and said, "I'm Sascile Redone!"
And the doppelganger turned into a spectre, and it absorbed the red staff and dived into Seth's body.
Seth froze while standing!
Six town guards came, three stood outside Seth's room by the window holding swords and rifles, and three were outside the door, waiting for anything to happen.
Inside Seth's body though, a new battle was already raging. But as time went on, the bulging veins calmed down gradually.
At dawn, the Red Bubbles in the sky and those that filled the town disappeared and then the morning sun ray woke up the town. However, there was a lot of blood in the streets as people that transformed into monsters were hunted and killed in the night.
When the sun's rays touched Seth's body, he opened his eyes before he fell down. His body is very weak as he has exhausted his Exertion points.

"Hmm!" Seth remained on the floor until he heard the door unlock. He turned and saw Redop Irik looking at him.
"Here. These are your Guest Papers and Identity. And I have taken the privilege to be your host!"
Seth stood with difficulty and collected the papers.
Ding!
