Corrupt Creations

Elyra has finally showed up, not demonstrating any signs of retreat now. However, her expression was rather down and stiff, instead of how it normally was. She seemed to be trying to go against something and Seth noticed some abnormalities on her following next words.

"I came to finish my part of the deal. After this is over, we will part ways and forget what happened."

"..."

A sudden silence took over the environment.

After almost an entire minute Seth managed to ask one thing.

"Can I at least know why?"

Elyra trembled a bit, but she steeled her resolve and said: "I am the Chief Commander of the whole Elven Kingdom now. It was a position conferred upon me by the Elf Queen and even though none of the important members of my Allakiir family would be bothered by our relationship, I don't want to put the Elf Queen in a tight spot if we were to be found. People would certainly demand for an explanation from her if this were to happen. I can't betray the trust she has put on me..."

After giving her explanation, Elyra felt a bit heavy. Seth was the first man that she felt something for, even though it was rather weak comparing to his relationship with Arwen. What she felt for him was considered as a romantic interest and it was not yet a fully bloomed love. But still, she was rejecting someone she was willing to take a step forward with. All of that because of the Elf Queen's reputation. That was how important the Elf Queen was for her people.

Suddenly...

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Seth started to laugh out loud, leaving Elyra with a very confused expression.

She almost thought he was making fun of her resolve.

"Why are you laughing?"

"This is funny... You are trying to protect the Elf Queen's reputation, fearing your connections with a human would drag her down, however, I can tell you that she wouldn't even be bothered by something like that."

"Why are you saying this?"

"Because that's how she is."

"Why are you so certain of that?"

"Because she wouldn't be against something she is doing herself."

"Wha... What do you mean?"

"Heh! Come on, do not make me say it out loud. She and I are a couple, and that is where my certainty comes from."

"!!!"

Elyra looked at Seth not being able to believe on him.

"No... That can't be real."

"Why not? Do you think I would still be alive if I didn't have her favor? Even though I am actually an inheritor of the Evergreen Essence and a human at the same time..." Seth lifted his hand showing Eyra his Evergreen Essence once more.

"..."

"That's why I think it is funny. You are giving me an explanation that has zero grounds. You think that Arwen would bother with it, but I can affirm you that she won't."

While Elyra was still digesting the information, Seth went forward to grab her hand.

"Elyra you don't need to fear it. I'm not going to enter in your life, jump to the end where I get to get laid with you and abandon you right after. Actually, since this is your first relationship, we can take it slow, alright? Let's first chat about us more frequently and when we get more intimate, we can then move forward."

Elyra felt the warm of their hands together and weakly replied: "Alright..."

Seth was able to counter her arguments and extinguish her fears, leaving her with nothing more to hide from this.

"Good." Seth smiled. His words were able to make her open up a bit of her heart.

In order to make her feel more comfortable and forget about this for now, he started to pull her towards the area he was training to show her how he was doing.

"Come, let me show you how was my progress while you were away."

Seth and brought Elyra where his belongings were, and the first thing she saw, were the broken bows on the floor. There seemed to be a bit more than ten bows.

"Why are you breaking the bows? You should be trying to feel the wind energy inside them in order to produce your first breeze built by Mana."

"Hm? I did that some days ago. Right now, I'm trying to release the Whirlwind Arrow, but it is still lacking in power."

"You did that some days ago? I've always treated your words as some kind of joke, but I realized that they usually had some truth behind them. But this can't possibly be the truth, right?"

Seth knew she wouldn't believe him until he showed her, so he quickly grabbed another one of those wind attribute bows and started to gather his Mana around his hand.

The wind element was created with the Mana he gathered, quickly turning into a green arrow.

When Elyra saw it, she got thoroughly amazed, to the point she was almost not believing it even though it had just happened. Seth had not only created the wind element, but he was already perfectly molding it into arrows.

He put the arrow inside the bow and pulled the bow string till it got fully tensioned.

He suddenly released it and the green arrow streaked through the air, guided by the wind currents that were circling around it, creating many wind blades. The sharp arrow flew at an inconceivable speed, hitting its target two hundred meters away.

A wind storm hit the boulder that arrow had pierced a few seconds later, trying to slash it apart, but it wasn't able to do it.

Even though it wasn't able to do it, Elyra was speechless by what she had just seen. Seth had advanced so much in just a bit more than four days, that she would not doubt if he said he has been training for five to ten years.

"See. It lacks power. However, I feel like the sharpness is almost there."

"You should try reinforcing the wind element, instead of focusing your attention on trying to pierce the target. When you do it, you will be able to increase the sharpness and power at the same time. That's how the wind attribute works."

"Hm... Let me try once again then."

Seth kept using the same ability many times while under Elyra's instructions. Her tips were always helpful for him and he was progressing at a quicker pace while following them.

By the end of the day, he was able to execute the Whirlwind Arrow flawlessly. Seth didn't stop just there, after finishing the first skill, he immediately started practicing the second one. The Arrow Shower.

Six days passed by and Seth seemed to have turned into a very experienced wind attribute user. He was able to finish training all those skills, together with some other things. Seth noticed that now that he was able to control wind perfectly, he was even able to support his body on the air while using it.

He was not flying, like what Profound Mana Realm and above cultivators were able to do, but he was able to hover in the same place easily, just like he had stopped in the air. Those were just some of the advantages he had received after learning how to control that new element.

It must be said that Seth was a master over darkness, but was only a wind attribute user. His attainments on the dark element area were so high, that he was able to create his own techniques. While at the wind element area, he could only go with the templates he had acquired.

If there was an element, he could be called a god though, it would be fire. If someone tried to injury Seth with darkness, he would end up being able to, but that would never be possible if that person was a fire attribute user.

Seth received his mastery over fire from the Fragmented Law, but that mastery was so high, that he felt he could do anything. In the end he didn't have much time or opportunity to explore his prowess yet.

It's been six days and Seth finally felt the need to leave this place. Actually, the time the Elf Queen had requested him was up, so it would be wise of him, to return to the Allakiir Mansion.

Elyra was not with him, because she constantly had to head back and help Ivasir creating and instructing the new Secret Security Unit. She was very busy since they had to make haste in forming that group, the security of the Elven Territory was of utmost importance at a time like this.

Seth left the inner layer and entered the outer layer. Before leaving the dungeon though, he looked back one last time, silently observing that blue dome that was covering the core region. However, he could only observe it since he had no time to try to explore and find a way to enter it for now.

Seth passed through the entire outer layer and while walking, he noticed that there were very few individuals still searching for people inside the dungeon. Most of the bodies, if not all of them, have already been retrieved and buried in their original sect or family grounds. It would take just one or two more days for the elves to cease the operation and close the dungeon gate.

Swoosh!

Seth's figure reappeared in the middle of the Central Stadium, vanishing from the sight of the elves working nearby.
