Corrupt Creations

Seth fought with four more Mana Perception initial-stage beasts to ascertain his capabilities within that realm. It was more than clear for him that he could easily deal with opponents at the same stage as himself.

"Next time I'll try to fight a middle-stage beast."

"You real combat abilities are higher than your realm and the main reason for that is the external power the Seed of Tyranny has given for you." Lexi pointed out.

After breaking the first seal, Seth experimented the worst pain he has ever felt, however what he gained from that was the strengthening of his entire body. The second seal though, it had been broken after he returned from that strange dream. The resistance of his body against foreign substances now, was really out of ordinary.

"I guess the risk you will be taking when fighting higher ranked beasts won't be that high. At least you'll be able to flee when the time comes."

"Aright, then it's settled. I'll try to fight stronger opponents tomorrow."

Seth vanished in a dark fog. By the time night fell, he was already entering the Hilkhell city gates.

"Master! Your disciple has returned."

Ilbrien and Finnea returned to the elf encampment with their other friends, but they directly headed towards a high-command tent.

"Master!" Ilbrien and Finnea bowed with reverence.

A slim middle-age man left the tent and his gaze stopped at his two disciples. His name was Paeris Beihorn and he was one of the few Mana Control Realm cultivators in the elven kingdom. The respect for him within this encampment was at the maximum.

Mana Control realm was just above the Mana Perception realm Seth was, but it was at least thousand times harder to achieve this realm as the bottlenecks gets fiercer the higher someone goes. Paeris entered this realm with an age of four hundred years. His current middle-age appearance had a lot to do with his youthful racial trait and his cultivation.

"You're back, how was your exploration today? Have you got any good experience?"

"Master, we found some humans around the borders of the Ygnolia forest."

"Oh? Were they planning to visit our kingdom? It's getting hard to see human worthy enough to visit our cities."

"No master. They seemed to be trying to illegally explore the forest." Finnea said.

"We fought them back, but..."

"Hum? Did something happen?" Paeris furrowed his brows.

Ilbrien took out the transparent crystal with a blood-red drop of water inside and showed it to his master.

"The Plague! How did it reach the Ygnolia forest? We contained it within the Forbidden Grounds outskirts!"

"I don't know it either master. You gifted me this crystal and said it had already served its purposes before. I kept it in because you told me some of its functionalities. I thought that maybe there would be a slim chance for the plague to spread outside of the forbidden grounds. The droplet inside was pure and untainted just before the time we encountered those humans, but it turned red as soon as we saw them."

"Are you telling me that it has infected a human? That is some serious news. I will have to investigate it further. Tell me some of their characteristics."

"Master, one of them was a really beautiful girl that had a long and vivid red hair and she was accompanied by another girl with black hair and enchanting figure. Those girls were both at the Profound Qi realm middle-stage and they seemed to be really young, so their background must be excellent. The last one was a man that was really powerful, he was the one that acted the quickest on their group. If I'm not wrong, my arrow scratched the back of his right hand, however I couldn't sense his real cultivation." Finnea gave all the details about the situation.

"So, you used the evergreen poison, right?"

Finnea nodded.

"They will need to treat him at the Hilkhell city for at least a month then. I plan on visiting that city soon to witness the event that will soon happen there. Do you want to come?"

"Yes! We want to go." 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

"Alright then, prepare yourselves, we will leave the encampment in a few days."

While the elves were preparing, the day has already turned into night. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

Seth entered the inn they were staying and knocked on the door of his room.

Knock! Knock!

Caizhi opened the door and saw that I was Seth knocking.

"Where did you go? It took you so long to come back."

"Well, I wanted to give you some privacy so I made sure to explore a lot of places in the city."

"We bought some delicacies, want to join us for dinner?"

"Oh yeah count me in."

After the dinner, Seth and the girls took turns in using the bathroom to take a bath. Soon after that, it was time to go to sleep.

They use the same procedures from the last night. They divide the large bed with a lot of pillows and went to sleep.

Lilian heartbeat was racing faster than before.

'I can't believe that agreed with this again. What would people think if they knew that I, an unmarried woman would be sharing a bed with a man many times?'

She was restless. Lilian looked at Seth and saw that he was already sleeping. Yet, this time, she was only able to sleep a lot of time after.

She dreamt of that same pillow, however this time, she approached it with caution. Lilian watched the pillow but didn't understand why she had to be on her guard at all. That pillow made her feel comfortable and secure.

It didn't take her more than a minute to embrace that pillow and sleep comfortably untill the next morning.

"Hmm!?"

Her drowsy figure woke up from the second-best sleep she has ever had.

"Good morning Lilian."

Lilian heard a male voice and looked up. She was still snuggling with the pillow, embracing it with such strength and passion that it was new even for her.

The same embarrassing situation happened once again.
