Corrupt Creations

Seth appeared beside Caizhi while still looking towards the dried worm corpse on the ground. The entire rock armor covering the worm had detached itself from the skin, falling off to the sides. The only thing that remained was that husk devoid of any water. 

Seth made a movement with his hands and a Qi Transformation late-stage core flew from inside that beast to his hand. He made sure to clean in thoroughly with his Mana, before touching it and throwing the core to Caizhi right afterwards. 

"You girls did well, specially you Caizhi. I never thought you would grow up so much during the time we didn't see each other. That Lake Goddess must be a very good teacher." 

"Hehe... She is indeed. She knows everything I lack and point me out the mistakes I comit precisely. It's like she knows everything... Her ability to teach me new things is incredible as well." 

"Ahaha, I see... I guess there is not many things I'll be able to do here, since your team work is very good already and you are very strong too." 

"Don't be like that Senior Brother. We know that you could have killed that ugly worm in a single strike." Jiayi appeared together with the other girls. 

Seth noticed that she was a very talkative person, even though her abilities were usually towards the concealment and disruption side. She was the easiest to approach and the youngest as well. She was the one that was most interested on having longer conversations with him out of the three of them. The other two were more reserved. 

"Seth... I know that you need to do some things. So, it is alright if you want to go." Caizhi felt through their Soul Link, that Seth wanted to do something else. 

He looked towards her and after some seconds thinking he decided to go. 

"Alright, I will leave everything here on your hands. I'll make sure to come back as fast as I can." He only decided to do it, because there was a Profound Mana protector following them in secret. She was stronger than him and would be able to protect them when it was necessary. 

Caizhi warmly smiled as Seth left their group. 

"Is it really alright Senior Sister Caizhi? It took so long for you to meet him again... Wouldn't it be better if you stood together throughout this event?" 

"No. We can be considered strong for our age and do many things that other people could only dream on, but we are still a bother for him in the end. I need to get stronger..." Caizhi was determined to train even harder now that she knew how strong Seth really was.

Outside the dungeon, inside the Central Stadium. 

Everyone that was related to the event had already entered the gate or have left the stadium. There was absolutely no one and only a spherical barrier was covering the entrance of the dungeon. 

A masked elf approached the barrier after realizing that not a single soul was guarding it. It was naturally the Elven Royal Princess that was disguising once again. She left the castle a second time, searching for the thrill of an adventure again. 

She took an hourglass out from her spatial ring and put it on top of her palm. 

"Let's see if Chief Commander Allannia's words are true. It is a one-time use item, but this will be worth it." 

She channeled her Mana Perception initial-stage energy inside the item and it hovered in the air in front of the barrier. 

Crack! 

The hourglass broke and the sand inside it flew towards the barrier. The place where it landed, started to continuously lose strength, as if the energy was getting older and weaker, until a gap formed in the barrier. 

She swiftly passed by the gap and entered inside it. She thought Allannia would be inside while controlling the formation through the orb, but it turned out that it was a formation that controlled everything alone. Allannia was not there, since she left to deal with things related to the next stage of her plan and left that barrier to prevent anyone she didn't want, from approaching. 

But it wasn't able to prevent everything, since the princess was able to enter. 

She didn't think twice before passing through the spatial gate, entering the dungeon. 

After she left, the barrier once more closed and everything went back to normal. However, someone hidden in the stadium saw her and everything she did. 

It was naturally Allannia.

Inside the dungeon, in the inner layer, many practitioners were gathered in a certain spot. They were waiting for a specific person to arrive and guide them. 

It didn't take long for that person to arrive. 

"So, everyone is here... Good." 

Elyon looked towards the people that gathered in that spot as smiled. 

"To think that eight of the ten members of the Secret Security Unit are gathered here... hehehe... They would never expect it. I already gave instructions to the humans that are with us, however, your instructions are going to be different. Make sure that even them won't be able to leave this place alive." 

Elyon passed his hand over his spatial right and many bottles of blood appeared in front of him. He tossed a bottle to every member of the Secret Security Unit and said: "Go and spread the chaos, because that is what our Queen desires." 

The members nodded and each one of them left towards a direction inside the inner layer. 

Elyon turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly felt something. 

"So, you're here..." 

Out of nowhere, a woman appeared. She was not only beautiful, but powerful as well. 

"What have you ordered them to do? Actually, why are the members of the Secret Security Unit with you?" Elyra asked with apprehension. She smelled something fishy and was started to feel restless. 

"Heh, what we have here... Lady Elyra, you seek many answers but unfortunately, you'll have to discover that with your own eyes." 

"No... You will reveal it right now!" Allannia's aura expanded as she demanded for an answer. Her aura assaulted Elyon directly. 

Elyon made his aura expand too, clashing with the aura she released and creating a shockwave that destroyed the terrain around them. 

"Are you sure you want to fight with me? If you do not hurry, the members from your Allakiir family might be in trouble you know?" 

Elyra did not retract her aura, she actually made it grow stronger. 

"If I go towards there, will it actually change anything now? I don't even know what you plant to do, so the best course of action is to discover it now." 

"Ahahaha. Good, you're very good... A perfect woman for me! Totally different from that dead whore." Elyon started to laugh. 

Elyra furrowed her eyebrows in displeasure. 

"So, you really killed your own wife... I will arrest you right now, since you were the one that confessed the crime." 

"She was just a mere façade I had to put up with. Arrest me? Hehe. Let's see if you're capable of doing that." 

Elyon opened his hand and a black bow appeared there. He positioned his feet differently, correcting his posture for the best shot. An arrow was already ready to be shot, but he didn't shoot yet. His Profound Mana started to gather in the tip of the arrow, creating a huge flow of energy around it. 

When he felt it was good enough, Elyon release his arrow that went straight towards Elyra. The huge amount of energy it contained, created a whirlwind around it, that was howling and destroying the ground where the arrow passed. 

Their fight unceremoniously started and Elyon opted to make the first move. 

Elyra didn't panic after seeing that powerful attack. She waited until the arrow got near her to draw her sword and an immense quantity of Mana surged with a single slash motion she made. 

The arrow and the whirlwind around it were cut in half, dispersing in a single instant. However, now that she had her weapon in her hand, she didn't stop only there. 

Her body vanished and appeared many meters ahead of the position she was in before. As the seconds passed, she continued to use her movement skill to approach Elyon in a tremendous speed. 

Elyon watched Elyra coming his way and prepared to shoot another arrow. However, this time he shot three arrows at once. Each one of them were stronger than the first one he shot. They stormed their way towards her, destroying everything. 

Elyra advanced quickly towards him, cutting every single arrow he shot towards her and evading the shockwave caused by the Mana around them. 

"Heh, got you." Elyon saw that Elyra had already arrived at the spot he was expecting her to reach and a green light left his body towards his bow. He jumped into the air and aimed his bow downwards. 

"Arrow Shower!" 

Instead of normal black arrows, he created hundreds of wind element arrows and shot them towards the ground, exactly where Elyra was. 

Each arrow descended so quickly that they were practically bullets raining down from the skies. An entire area of a kilometer suffered massive destruction as the arrows pierced the ground as if it was butter. 

Elyra's element was wind as well, so she opted to protect herself by creating a defensive area around her. She swiftly moved her blade towards all directions while making the wind currents around her bend the trajectory of the arrows. 

She seemed to have created a tunnel of wind where nothing was able to penetrate.
