The setting sun of the day saw a naked man lying down on the ground, and chewing on a grass stalk, gazing at the sky without worry.
After thankfully finding both his ring and sword in pristine condition, Seth had planned to move only to find himself lost.
Irene had always led the way, knowing the routes and several landmarks, and now that she wasn't here Seth had no idea where next to go, but for now, that was alright, after all, he had a plan in place.
How long he had spent unconscious, having his body rebuilt and transformed, Seth didn't know, but judging how he had woken up before the sun began setting, he could deduce that it hadn't been more than an hour.
As Seth lay down, winds blew, trees fluttered, and the clouds moved, a welcomed serene feeling filling the atmosphere, but this was not all.
Surrounding Seth were two huge pitch-black tiger-like figures, each of them standing over 4 feet, and moving around his form like they were real animals.
"Mentalism she said, can't believe I was so stupid," Seth grumbled.
Without needing t do much, Seth had one of the towering black tigers suddenly turn to a large sword and float in the sky, and then slowly began falling toward him, moving to slice him.
Seth closed his eyes as his yawned, lazily opening them to the scene of the blade just about to vertically cut him in two, yet he did nothing and let the scene play out.
When the sword hit him, there was a loud thud sound, and then the blade collapsed into dark particles, that scattered away.
To this Seth only flicked his tongue. This wasn't the first time he was doing this, but it might perhaps be the last as annoyance flashed through his eyes.
A look of concentration was about to enter his eyes but then he hesitated and the next second the other black tiger faded away into nothingness.
"Man I'm hungry," Seth said.
He thought to get up and go speeding off but in the end, decided to hold back his impatience.
"I'll wait just a bit longer."
Seth wanted to go to his soul space and pass the time with Alexia but he hesitated and weighed the risk.
Though his strength had tremendously grown, from the nit bits he had picked up with his talk with Minuha there were definitely other powerhouses in Egaroth, powerhouses that stood above the woman and had her desperately wanting for his favor.
Having already had a short chat with Alexia earlier, and confirming that the woman was alright, Seth decided to stay put and ride the wave of boredom.
Seconds and then minutes went by, time which saw Seth take a well-needed nap, but when it was the appropriate* time, he opened his eyes, ready to receive his guest.
A few minutes later, a voice filled with surprise said sounded.
"You're not dead?"
To these words, Seth's head merely turned to his left and he had a look at his similarly naked guest.
Minuha had her soulsense sweeping all around, vigilantly looking for something, not knowing that the true danger lay before her, as she relaxed after a few seconds.
"Good thing I came back else you would have gone making dumb revenge plans.
I can just end you here and be done for, but first, what was that from earlier, what did you see."
"And why should I tell you."
Curiosity was the one thing Seth had counted on for Minuha to come running back to this location.
Sure she had been gripped by fear even before the heavenly tribulation became visible, but in the end, the woman was a cultivator, and to cultivators, the greater the danger the higher the reward.
The woman had waited for the storm to pass, and then from there, she had quickly come back to salvage or plunder.
"Well if you don't tell me, I'm going to take you to a whole new world of pain."
"You were already planning to do that from the beginning, nothing has changed," Seth said, his tone lazy and bored, and then without concern he looked away from Minuha to the sky.
Not more than seconds had passed after Seth looked back to the sky that a shadow blocked out the light of the setting sun, and with the simple movement of his eyes to the left, Minuha's image flooded his gaze.
"There was a time I could have done anything for you, your welfare was my priority but you were blinded by your selfishness and pride to see this."
After everything I did for you, you went ahead to try to kill me, how ungrateful." Minuha spat with disgust and unhidden repulsion.
"Do you have anything to say before I make you scream like a bitch."
Hearing Minuha's last words, Seth could only internally sigh at the allure of power, despite Seth actually going and almost killing her, Minuha was still opening a widow of repentance for him, and Seth couldn't blame.
He and Adriana were enough of an example of how powerful one with a vampire bloodline was, and if Minuha knew about half the benefit of being a bloodsucker, then it was totally understandable why the woman was so obsessed with him.
"if you truly were ready to do anything for me, I would probably still be in Monwac city, fucking both you and Dilise while Irene pleaded for us to finally embark on our journey, or perhaps I would have just taken you three women along" Seth mused.
Seth was still caught up in thinking of alternate futures when several black hands burst out from the grounds and wrapped around his body, holding his limbs in place.
"Huh" was all Seth was able to get out before tiny tendrils of shadows came from the ground and bore into him.
"That's not very nice" Minuha heard Seth say, but the problem was that this sound came from behind her while a hand roughly grabbed her ass.
