Though Seth casually spoke to Irene, his dantian spun with greater velocity while his soulsense roared out of him in waves, and using this, he scanned Irene's form to the very core of her being, his action making the woman stumble as she hurriedly moved towards him.
"Seth we need to leave here now" Irene cried out, grabbing onto Seth's right arm and fiercely pulling it.
Having just been fooled with a bunch of illusionary manipulation, Seth was quite skeptical of the woman before him, but at the moment, his soulsense told him he was talking to the real thing.
"what's the matter, where's Aimy" Seth calmly said, standing his ground, while his right arm moved and grabbed onto Irene's arm which was holding his.
A look of frustration crossed Irene's face at Seth's behavior, the woman wanted to forcefully pull him along but his figure didn't even budge an inch.
"I sent Aimy to keep going ahead while I came to meet you myself, we need to leave"
"And where is Aimy going," Seth asked remaining skeptical about the woman.
"I had her move to a specific location we'll meet with her later, but for now we have to leave immediately, we have 4 immortals coming after us, and they are already in the mountains," Irene said, her figure trembling as she muttered the last words while looking at Seth with fear-filled eyes.
To Irene's words, Seth stayed silent for a few seconds, and in those few seconds of silence, he spent his time still checking out Irene, wanting to be sure of her identity.
Behavior, image, attitude, The woman before him had everything down to the ground, and even his soulsense and his intact told him she was Irene, and so at this point, Seth had no choice but to believe he was talking with the true Irene, and with this problem, he acted on her words.
"Fine so what's happening now, what direction are they coming from," Seth asked.
To face off against 4 immortals was a far too foolish thing for Seth to engage in, and though his body tingled to test the waters, his desire to persevere his life and most especially Irene's prevailed and he was able to quickly suppress this particularly bad tendency.
"First we have to get out of this mountain chain, follow me," Irene said and immediately shot off.
Looking at her departing figure, Seth looked to Milli still breathing figure which Iren had thrown to the side, he shook his head at the truly lucky woman and then went after Irene.
Without difficulty, Seth caught up to her and they both ran side by side, heading deeper into the forest.
"Why are we going this way," Seth asked.
"The mountains are easily traversable and all an immortal would have to do is fly over them and they'll easily see us.
"The same applies to us moving through the trees, they could simply use their soulsense to detect us."
"Yes, but we aren't going to be moving above ground for long, there are a series of deep tunnels a distance from here that leads to a mine, we'll use them and go underground, there no one would be able to find us."
Hearing Irene's words, Seth's head scrunched up in thought as he couldn't help but wonder about Irene's sudden knowledge.
"Seth your soulsense, it's too strong, it will act like a beacon and lead them here."
Immediately Seth heard Irene's words, denial filled his mind as the taking away of his soulsense else was now like taking away his super eyes.
"Seth your soulsense" Irene called once more."
"Moving without soulsense is risky," Seth said.
"True, but moving without it is riskier, if we get caught we'll die for sure, or perhaps just me seeing as Minuha has quite an interest in you," Irene said, her last words muttered under her breath, but Seth clearly heard them, letting out a sigh as the woman sped up.
Internally, Seth groaned at the situation as he stopped using his soulsense, one minute he had been looking to test his strength, and now he was running away from a bunch of immortals who were probably old geezers that wanted to test their strength on him too.
"Damn, if only there was only one of the or perhaps even two" Seth thought, not aware that a wide grin had begun popping up on his face as he actually began contemplating a way he could get to battle the immortals.
Thankfully Seth was able to get back himself before he went too far in his thoughts, and with a shake of his head he turned to Irene,
"How did you get this information about the immortals?"
"From my informants."
"You have informants in such desolate parts," Seth asked, suspicion seeping into his words.
"You think I'm lying," Irene asked turning to Seth with a stoic expression.
Seth thought in his mind for a few seconds ad was just about to speak but Irene beat him to the chase.
"As I told you earlier, there is a major city at the end of this region, I have an informant there, he's the one who sent me the message."
This time Irene spoke to Seth with a cold voice, one that actually had him cringing and wanting to stop with his question, but then the loopholes in her story were just too much.
When she had first met him, Seth's mind had been on guard against her being an illusion, and this fear of his had made him waste time in reacting to her urgent news, hence when he finally accepted Irene not to be an illusion, he immediately decided for them to leave to make up for the lost time
But now after they had moved for a while, bits of Irene's story had begun popping in and they didn't make sense.
"How did this informant get his message to you, and how did you find me so quickly."
Immediately Seth asked this question, Irene's figure came to a stop, Seth stopping a second later.
"What's the matter," Seth asked, but all he got in return was a cold and then guilty look from Irene and then he knew darkness.
All around Seth was pure pitch-black darkness, and he couldn't see a thing.
"What just happened," Seth asked not really expecting an answer.
"Your proclaimed lover just betrayed you" Alexia's cute voice sounded teasing Seth with a laugh.
"And I really didn't want to kill her." Seth groaned.
