Corrupt Creations

"Ah! Slow down, you are going too fast!"

The Elf Princess was feeling the air rush against her face and her golden hair danced in the wind, hitting Seth's face. She asked for Seth to slow down, but in reality, she was having a great time while being carried.

Seth was still carrying her in a princess carry, as he used his full speed in order to reunite with Caizhi's group faster. The situation was not so favorable right now, making him go with haste. It was luck that their group was a bit farther from the inner layer territory, so the beasts would inevitably take more time to reach them.

Rina was feeling something new while being carried, she was starting to feel that Seth was a good person to rely on, and a sense of security rose inside of her. However, she was too bad in regards to interacting with people, so she treated that feeling as something normal, lowering her guard beside him and trusting him more.

After swiftly moving for more than three kilometers, Seth suddenly stopped.

Rina looked at him in confusion and just when she was about to ask something, she heard a woman's voice.

"So, you are picking up girls even inside a dungeon, huh?"

A very attractive woman descended from the sky and stopped right in front of Seth.

"Lady Elyra, you misunderstood it. I was just helping this graceful lady in crossing this territory safely."

"Sigh... I don't know how you can actually flirt even in this grave situation we are in right now..."

"Hm? What have you discovered?"

"You might not know, but I went after Elyon right at beginning of the event. We fought at the inner layer, but he used a very special mean to leave the dungeon earlier. But the problem is that I think that the members of the Secret Security Unit are working together with him."

Seth heard all those things she was telling with a normal countenance. There was nothing new for him.

Elyra noticed his behavior and asked: "You don't seem to be astonished after hearing it, could it be that you already knew?"

"Heh... I just defeated a member of the Secret Security Unit that was trying to hurt this lady. But you don't have to worry about them for now. You should actually concentrate the efforts on resisting the beast tide that is about to come."

"Why not to worry with them? They are a threat to everyone right now..."

"Because there are no more members of that unit still inside the dungeon."

Elyra looked at Seth a bit confused about how he knew about that, but she recalled that he had a special skill to discover things that even she couldn't.

"So, where were you planning to go now?"

"I was going to reunite with my group members and try to think of our next course of actions. There is no need to keep accumulating cores, since there won't be a competition anymore at this rate."

"Sigh... You are right, I will search for the members of my family and bring them to where you are, it will be safer that way."

Elyra was about to leave and go search the parties of youngsters of her family, when she stopped and looked towards Rina. She hasn't seen Rina before, but something was telling her that this person might be important. It was probably her golden hair color.

"By the way, who is she?"

"Ahaha... Why are you suddenly jealous of your boyfriend? I could carry you like this if you wanted too."

"Tch, stop joking. Her hair seems rather familiar..."

"Hello. I'm Rina the Elf Queen's daughter." Rina chose to tell her the truth.

"Oh, come on... Another mischievous youngster? Ah... Forget it. I will try to get back as fast as I can." Elyra vanished from the area, leaving the stunned Rina behind.

"Ahaha... She probably didn't believe you. I should have done the same when you lied to me at that forest. I thought you were Elydir, a man from the Luberus family all the time."

"Eh... Ahn... I'm sorry. Mother told me to not trust any human."

"I see... Your mother was really strict with you, huh?" Seth learnt from her stories that her mother was an overprotective person.

"That's right. I've always had the desire to travel and explore the world, but she never allowed me to leave the castle for much longer. Why is she always like that? Sigh..."

"You shouldn't worry with that. She does it since she loves you and actually, she is partially right."

"Do you think she was right?"

"No totally, but didn't you just see what that elf tried to do with you? Right now, I can tell you that this place has turned into a graveyard for a lot of people already. She probably didn't want to see you encountering such a perilous situation like this, that's why she acted like that."

Rina reflected on Seth's words and concluded that he had some reason.

"Now let's keep going, we're almost there already."

"Ah!"

Seth took the unprepared Rina once again and carried her over to meet with the other humans. He sped up to his maximum and very quickly they were already in the place the conflict with Elydir's group happened.

The Eleventh Palace Master was the first one to notice that someone was approaching, however, since she was still poisoned, she took too long to react and alert the people that a Mana Control middle-stage aura was approaching. When she realized, Seth was already standing before them while slowly putting the Elf Princess on the ground.

Caizhi was the first one to react. She felt him approaching with their Soul Link and was already coming his way.

"Seth!"

"I'm back... You've had it hard around here, huh?"

"You're right, an elf appeared out of nowhere bringing some strong cultivators along with him. They tried to kidnap Senior Sister Caizhi, but those little friends over there helped us on fighting them." Jiayi arrived after Caizhi and practically resumed the entire events for Seth.

However, he already knew about everything, he was just pretending he didn't know.

Seth looked towards Ilbrien and Finnea that were still beside Paeris body. He didn't go over there to talk with them, it was not the right time now.

"Bring me over to your Palace Master, I have something to discuss with her."

"Huh?" Jiayi got confused. At the beginning Seth and the Eleventh Palace Master were almost cursing at each other, but now Seth wanted to talk with her?

"Alright. Come with me." Caizhi brought Seth and Rina to where the Eleventh palace Master was resting.

While they were going Jiayi kept discretely hitting Seth with her elbow and asking in a low voice while giving quick glances towards Rina: "Who is she? You already have Senior Sister, yet you..."

"Ahaha, don't worry, she is only a friend of mine."

It was obvious that Caizhi and Rina could hear their conversation, but they were finding it funny. However, Rina felt a strange feeling when she heard him calling her as "only a friend". She didn't know what kind of feeling it was, but it was kind of uncomfortable.

Seth arrived before a woman that was sitting with her legs crossed. She had her eyes closed and was trying to concentrate in not letting the poison spread inside her body.

He was about to approach her, but she opened her eyes and released a bit of her aura to stop him from doing so. But when she did it, the poison inside her body flared and started to spread again.

"Cough! Cough!"

'Sigh... She is a very stubborn person. Guess I will have to try it.'

Seth closed his eyes and quickly entered his soul space.

"Lexi, are you there?"

"Yes, I'm here."

"You previously said you were able to use your powers on other people only if my soul essence is inside their bodies, right?"

"That's true, however with time, I will be able to do it independently."

"Great, but I need your help right now. So, I will try something new. Don't try to stop me and stay ready to act."

"... Okay."

"Good."

Seth left his soul space and concentrated in his soul essence. He had turned a lot of that "water" into mist already and he was focusing his attention on that mist more precisely.

He brought a little bit of that mist out of his body and felt like his soul was extending through the air. It was a colorless energy that was hovering in front of him and absolutely no one other than him could feel it.

Seth extended his hand towards the Eleventh Palace Master and that mist flew towards her, bypassing whatever defensive aura or artifact that she had. It entered her body and quickly found his way towards the poison.

Lexi used her purification ability and that Synthetical Evergreen Poison was thoroughly purified in some few seconds.

Seth brought his mist essence back towards his soul space and opened his eyes, just to find the Eleventh Palace Mater looking towards him.

"What did you just do?"

He smiled and replied: "Nothing, just what I needed to do."

After that, he grabbed Caizhi's hand and left.

"Wai...." The Palace Master was about to inquire again, but her body was still weak, despite not having to fight against that poison anymore.
