Corrupt Creations

Boom!

The loud noise of the crimson ring destroying everything around the area finally ceased.

Seth was now, holding that heavy bone greatsword with his right hand, feeling how powerful its presence was, but he knew that weapon wasn't meant to be held like that. He quickly put his other hand of the hilt and finally, he was able to stabilize the weapon and move it with a little bit of difficulty.

But just as he was going to test it, he felt many different presences approaching that area. There were so many of them, that a normal practitioner would start to tremble in fear and immediately freak out.

Lan Xue was not restricted anymore, so she noticed all those presences too, however, her senses were not as strong as Seth's senses inside this abyss, so her observations were incomplete. If she knew how many abyssal creatures Seth had captured with his Soul Sense, she would lose her hopes once again. However, in this place Seth was the king, the emperor and nothing he saw was able to affect him.

Only around the area they were, there were at least two hundred Profound Mana initial to middle-stage Realm monsters, approaching with varying speeds. They all had a single objective; to recover what had been stolen from them.

Lan Xue was about to stop her recovery process and stand up to get prepared for the battle, but Seth suddenly signaled for her to stop.

"Don't worry. Keep recovering until you are in your perfect condition. You can let this first round for me."

"First round...?" She asked confused.

Seth smiled, but instead of replying, his body suddenly vanished together with that new unholy weapon he possessed.

Lan Xue understood his meaning and decided to concentrate on her injuries; however, she was not dumb enough to drop down her guard, always maintaining it up, even while healing. She was still impressed after seeing Seth's new weapon, but it wasn't time for her to be losing concentration because of that.

Suddenly, lots of abyssal creatures arrived; only to see that their motive for coming was long gone. A large part of them still had no clues Seth had already acquired the thing they were hoping to get and while Seth was using his Shadow Walk, the aura coming from his greatsword, was camouflaged together with his in a perfect combined technique brought up by Darkness and Corruption.

Roar!

They started to make noises and to search for the aura signature they most knew of, since it was the thing they spent their lives trying to get. But before any of them were able to identify any clues about the missing aura, Seth's body reappeared beside that group of monsters, already swinging his new weapon their way.

SWOOSH!

A sharp sound of something ripping the air echoed and his twenty-ton greatsword was swept towards their direction. Since it was just a test, Seth tried to see the raw power it would be able to generate by just swing it with his full force, but not applying any Mana on it. There was no way for him to know how overpowered that weapon really was and the destruction it would bring forth.

BOOM!

As if they were caught inside a raging tornado, those beasts were surprised by a large amount of terrain and a sharp whirlwind coming their way. Together with it, the impact force generated by Seth swinging that greatsword.

When it hit their bodies, they were completely decimated, creating a destruction wave that carried their severed limbs towards the far away distance.

Lan Xue gasped after seeing how easily Seth took care of that group of powerful creatures. They were not Mana Control Realm beasts, but Profound Mana Realm monsters. Their bodies were as tough as iron and there was still that protective layer of Mana that they were able to employ as a last resort to support their defenses. Yet they were all one-shot.

However, not even ten seconds after the first wave was completely decimated, another wave of thirty to forty beasts, started to approach that area. They were all going towards Seth while completely ignoring Lan Xue.

An aerial type beast was the first one to arrive. It plunged down at the enemy holding its desired object, trying to hit him when he wasn't looking. Those beasts recognized the aura lingering on Seth's new greatsword, since it was the same ancient powerful aura that they desired so much. In the end, it didn't matter for them if it was a bigger or a smaller object.

The abyssal flying creature descended towards Seth's blind spot, creating a crimson flaming energy before its body while it was still descending. Seth's senses were better than ever inside this environment, so he had all the movements that beast was executing, inside his area of observation.

When it was nearing him, one of his hands quickly moved towards the back, and grabbed the flying beast by one of its wings. The flaming energy that beast was ready to release in the form of an attack completely dissipated and the bird turned into an easy target.

Seth felt no mercy for those abyssal beasts that tried to attack him. He strongly pulled off that wing he was grabbing and kicked that beast with all his might.

Screech!

The second group of ground abyssal creatures took that opportunity to quickly approach him, so when Seth turned around, they were already only forty to twenty meters away from him. But they were welcomed by Seth, that was already rotating his body and using his strength to swing his greatsword at them.

Swoosh!

The air ripping noise echoed and everything on his line of sight was crushed by the air pressure generated. A whole area of one thousand meters suffered a storm that destroyed all the living creatures there. Just a single swing of that weapon could literally destroy a mountain.

Seth felt impressed by that. He never imagined that he would finally find a suitable weapon down here. He could feel that this greatsword had sealed itself, so he would be able to handle and control it better. As his power grew, he could then release its full potential and bring it back to its former glory, while maintaining the shape it has now.

There were many other beasts approaching quickly, but when they felt the energy fluctuations and the tremor around that area, some of them started to roar and make strange noises, trying to alert the other ones.

Instead of directly approaching, they kept waiting and waiting, until their numbers increased more and more.

Seth felt that at a distance of one to two kilometers away from where he was standing, more than a hundred beasts were already gathering. There were so many different beasts that he could already see their unholy crimson radiance from where he was. Most of them had the aura of a Profound Mana Realm beast, but there were not only initial and middle-stage beasts now, but late and peak-stage too.

When that particular group reached a number of a two thousand monsters, they started releasing their pressure over Seth and Lan Xue. Some seconds after that powerful display, they started to advance. There were a lot of beasts already impatient to acquire that ancient treasure.

For a group of mindless beasts, they were actually acting smart. Maybe that was a mutation caused by the energy of corruption, since they had at least partially evolved after all.

When Lan Xue finally felt how big was the number of beasts attacking them, she almost stood up while urging Seth to run, but before she even begun to act, he turned around and said: "At last... I was hoping a challenge would appear and I guess it is time. Lan Xue don't worry, you can stay focused on your recovery and let me take care of these small fry. Make sure you come to help when the Mana Sovereign beast decides to come."

Lan Xue not only got flabbergasted, but she started to feel preoccupied. If what Seth was telling her was real, she would need to really get ready for the battle later on.

Before the group of beasts decided to fully charge towards him, Seth was the first one to move once again. He held his heavy weapon and used his Shadow Walk to slowly vanish, merging with the abyss.

The moment he vanished, thousands of energy scans tried to get the information of his current position based on his aura, but those beasts ultimately failed. Seth was thoroughly controlling the corruption to hide his presence completely. Maybe a Mana Sovereign creature could find some traces of him, based on his Mana signature. But not them.

Suddenly, the aerial type beasts circling around the area noticed a red dot coming from above. At first it was just like a needle that pricked their eyes when they looked towards it.. But less than ten seconds later, it had turned into a crimson meteor that was merciless coming down.
