433 Brace Yourselves
"Is it okay to just leave her there?" Alice, who had been relatively silent, spoke, continuously looking backwards at the slightly confused and scared woman.
"You were there when I transformed Dorian, what do you think?" Seth asked.
Without missing a beat, Seth's words had Alice looking to his right, past him and at the woman who walked without giving a care for her conversation with Seth.
Looking at her, Alice's already bad mood dampened, and her expression went sour.
Seth seeing this, made no comments, instead, he stopped his movements and stared back at the woman they had put some distance away from.
Right now, they were back on the ground, continuing their journey to a suitable spot for the transformations.
Seth had bitten Sonia and quickly ordered everyone to follow him and move away from her. Now they watched the transformation process.
"If you want to remain safe and not have to go churning your qi to survive, stay close to me, and that includes you, Ms. I'm married," Seth said, but his words contained no chuckle or mockery.
Though still keeping a few centimetres of space, Dorian took Seth's warning seriously and moved closer to him, while Alice and Adriana, who were now on his right, stuck closer, with Alice wrapping her hands around his arms.
"Why didn't you let me bring Mira?" Dorian said as she observed the qi in the space around Sonia quickly getting thicker and denser.
"I thought you said you were a better leader. Haven't you ever heard of clan secrets?"
"Oh, well, with your relationship, I thought you would also want to transform her, keep her as one of yours."
"No, instead, I want her dead, one of the reasons I was glad to leave her in the forest. I hoped some beast would pop up and end her. Too bad you showed up."
Everyone present swallowed at Seth's mention of wanting Mira dead, all of them making several final wishes for the woman.
But then a question quickly came to all their minds, and Dorian asked it.
"If you want her dead, why haven't you killed her?"
"Because I can't. I have reasons that prevent me from doing that.
Yes, before I forget, this also goes to all three of you, none of you are allowed in any capacity to kill her. Anyone who does that, I will personally kill."
Though Seth put no air or aura to his words, they once again had the three women swallowing and quickly destroying their thoughts of gaining Seth's favour by killing Mira.
No matter, all three women knew Seth as a mad maniac, and despite the sweet relationship he might have, they knew better than to assume he wouldn't follow such a simple promise.
"The waves have gotten stronger, and even the qi from our surroundings is being taken.
Can't we go closer and have a closer look? My soulsense is having difficulty penetrating through the dense qi around us," Adriana said.
"Feel free to, but be sure to look out for qi poisoning and also try to keep your body intact when the waves come pulsing back."
11:31
waves come pulsing back."
"Hmm, there is no screaming from her. Despite bleeding and losing her hair, she is perfectly okay.
Do you have any idea why? I went through a world of pain during my own transformation."
"My theory is simple, she's a general, you're a top Kaiser. Breaking down and rebuilding her body is way easier than yours."
Just as Seth finished giving his explanation to Dorian, a bright blue cocoon drowned in thick qi formed around Sonia, and then the qi waves that had once been sweeping and moving toward Sonia stopped.
"How long will she be in there?" Dorina asked.
"Perhaps 10 minutes."
"I thought you said we should brace ourselves. So far, nothing has happened, and she's almost finished transforming."
"Maybe I'm lying, maybe I'm not. You can go towards her and check for yourself though," Seth said with a shrug, not giving a direct answer.
The sly grin on his face had all three women cautious and sticking closer to him.
"Boom!" The loud sound suddenly went off seconds after Seth's dare, and to the women's shock, their danger sense went haywire, as if they were about to enter a life-and-death situation.
Without delay, they had their qi pouring out of their bodies, ready to face the furious, intimidating waves, but before that could happen, a wave of darkness suddenly rose from the ground and surrounded them.
"Errm, Seth, what about Dorian? You didn't protect her," Alice's voice sounded seconds later.
"What's wrong? I thought you'd be happy if she died," Seth said.
"Of course, I do, but if I want it done the right way, I'm not going to stoop to her level and go about betraying. I'm going to do it directly."
"Okay," Seth said with a nod.
A few seconds went by, and Alice spoke once more.
"So are you letting her in?"
With an audible click of his tongue, the darkness that covered Seth, Alice, and Adriana broke apart, and they could once more see their surroundings.
Looking to their left, everyone raised their eyebrows as they stared at the dishevelled form of Dorian.
In several places, her clothes were torn, and that, coupled with her scattered hair and heavy breaths, one could see that she had gone through the grindmill.
"So how was it?" Seth asked, looking the woman up and down. "You're the one who said you wanted to try finding it on your own," Seth added for the sake of Alice and Adrianna, who were lost.
"It was powerful. They weren't just normal waves, they carried something within them I just couldn't put a hand on."
"Laws," Seth said, deducing it was most likely what she felt.
"No, not laws. I've already begun touching on them, and this definitely isn't it. It's something far better," Dorian said.
Seth's face scrunched in doubt of Dorian's analysis of something greater than laws, but then he gave his surroundings a look, remembering the wonders involved in the transformation into a Supreme, and shrugged his shoulders.
"Whatever it is, we'll find out in the future. Now go forth and welcome the newest member of the bloodline."
Dorian nodded at Seth's words, but as she took a step forward, she looked back at him.
"Should I be expecting something?"
"Nope," Seth said with a mischievous grin on his face, and Dorian could only swallow and move forward.
"Well, at least you aren't making it easy for her," Alexia, who was beside Seth, said, and the next second, she let out a yelp as Seth smacked her bun and began feeling up her ass. This action brought a smile to her face.
