Corrupt Creations

Seth had to be certain that what Lexi had told him was not the truth, or else he wouldn't be able to rest in peace until he punished whoever tried to hurt her. 

He activated his Soul Sense while going towards the place Chun Meiyi went to collect the herbs at full speed. In less than five minutes he was already standing on that particular area. 

In his slightly uncontrollable state, Seth's Soul Sense expanded to the maximum and he was able to find traces of soldiers dressed in robes of the Wu Martial Kingdom, patrolling some points inside the forest. 

His first reaction was to actually stop and quickly contemplate everything. Seth didn't think Lexi's theory would be so accurate. Meiyi's healed wounds and the condition she was in; soldiers patrolling the area she went to collect herbs and the coincidental time and place that these things happened.

His mild state of anger and unwillingness to believe, suddenly exploded in intensity. His figure blurred and his body vanished, moving like a sharp knife to where those soldiers were. 

The soldiers of the Wu Martial Kingdom were still investigating what have happened to three of their colleagues, that unfortunately died of heart attack around this area. That case was so strange that many people were wondering the possibility of ghosts haunting the forest. 

While searching for clues on the ground, one of them stepped on top of some herbs used to brew tea. They were scattered through the floor where there seemed to be some stains. He crouched down and saw some dried marks that seemed to be blood. Those marks were already faint, since a lot of time has passed since the incident already. 

"Here! I finally found something." Six more soldiers approached the place he was, observing the marks he found. 

"How can there be dried blood here?! If I'm not wrong, those dead soldiers didn't suffer any external injuries..." 

"This must be the blood of an enemy... But the marks are already faint." 

"Yeah. However, we now know that someone discovered about our activities here. We need to quickly report it back." 

"You're right, let's go..." 

Swoosh! 

Before he finished his speech, that soldier noticed that his eyes abruptly turned toward the skies. He wasn't even able to feel the painful sensation of his head being severed, before he died. 

Thud! 

His head rolled, stopping on the feet of one of his companions. 

Seth was enraged by the fact that some random soldier from the Wu Martial Kingdom had injured Meiyi. He didn't even want to know who was the one responsible for that anymore, since he considered them all guilty. 

His anger was accumulating fast and his wish to see his enemies blood started to stimulate the Crimson Light inside the separate space. 

What he did inside the Luberus Family manor, was a massacre that he didn't want to, but had to do since it concerned about Arwen, Rina and Elyra's future. However, right now, he wished he could destroy every soldier the Wu Martial Kingdom had sent to Misty Horizon. 

With his Soul Sense, he had already discovered the position of their encampment, so there was no need to keep these soldiers alive. Actually, the corruption was already starting to slightly affect his judgement, making him agressive and impatient. 

"Who are you?" 

"Stop! Do you know with who you're messing with?" 

While the soldiers were trying to argue with him, inside Seth's body, the Crimson Light started to feed on his bad emotions, fueling his energy veins with Crimson Corrupted Energy. Seth noticed its influence on his body and feelings, but this time, he didn't try to stop it. 

He has been running away from this power since a very long time, however, after witnessing what have happened in the Hilkhell city, Seth knew he had to dominate the Corruption somehow. If he needed to use it, then why not using it on his enemies? 

He raised his hand and almost as if instantly, spikes made of pure darkness appeared in the air, making the whole environment gets frigid. Those spikes started to rotate in a high velocity and an overbearing red glow covered them all. 

Everyone felt an immense pressure that rendered any tentative of moving their bodies useless. There seemed to be a huge boulder stopping them from taking even a single step away from where they were. 

"Nooo!" 

"Please, release us!" 

In less than a second later, the spikes shot towards the soldiers, creating numberless large holes on every part of their bodies. Since the spikes were rotating, while they were piercing through his enemies, it made their bodies be badly dismembered, making a rain of blood splatter everywhere. 

When it all finished, Seth wasn't even there anymore. He was already moving towards the main target of his rage. The whole encampment of five hundred soldiers stationed four kilometers away from there. 

Their presence here was a threat for Meiyi and Meihui, so Seth didn't had plans of letting any of them get out of this with their lives. 

The Commander had just finished receiving orders from the king and was about to call for some officials and delegate the tasks when he heard a loud explosion noise coming from the frontal area of their base. 

BOOM! 

When he left the tent he was in, and looked up, he saw a huge expanse of earth flying towards the sky and many soldier on the midst of it. However, just like they were made of a frail tissue, those soldiers disintegrated in a shower of blood and limbs, because of the tyranny of the Mana that had blasted the area. 

Seth's Mana had a crimson glow on it, changing even the nature behind his attacks. They were very violent and not even a little bit merciful now. The whole sky was turning red, be it because of his Crimson Corrupted Energy or because of the amount of blood splattering everywhere. 

Before the shower of dirt and blood fell back towards the ground, Seth's figure suddenly appeared inside the Wu Martial Kingdom base, where at least seventy soldiers were concentrating. He wished he had his greatsword here, so he could crush them with a single blow. 

However, he had many other techniques that could cause a massive destruction, and together with the crimson power flowing through his veins, it was the perfect combination for a great calamity. 

"Who are you?" 

"Don't try to talk with the enemy, attack him quick!" 

"Attack!" 

The soldiers standing near Seth started to dash towards him, trying to kill him quickly. However, Seth ignored them. He was having new insights after letting the corruption flow through his veins and there were no better places to test it, than in the battlefield. 

'Doomsday!' He quickly thought of a new technique, while using his mastery over darkness and his Crimson Corrupted Energy. 

Misty Horizon suddenly got darker and everyone felt like it was the judgement day befalling upon them. They were lucky that the pressure was concentrating outside the city, in a difficult to reach area inside the forest. 

Around Seth's body, a hellish dark red aura appeared, and everyone present started to uncontrollably tremble. He started to slowly spread his arms, raising them up while the aura around him grew in intensity. 

The soldiers approaching him suddenly released their weapons and gave up the idea of approaching the enemy. But even if they were able to strike Seth at that moment, their attacks would mean nothing. Their strength wasn't enough to even make a scratch on Seth's skin. 

The commander felt that if he didn't do anything, it would be their ending. Doom was descending upon them and only he had the abysmal possibility of doing anything. However, he didn't notice that he was trembling in fear, even more than any of the other warriors. 

"S-s-stop-p h-him!" He was able to utter those words with great difficulty, but it was already too late. 

From the ground, a very wide lane of darkness emerged. It was mixed with an unholy crimson energy, making everyone feel that damnation was coming.  Suddenly the darkness started to uncontrollably shake, exploding upwards and decimating everything and everyone on its way. 

Boom! 

The soldiers standing on the area it reached, were decimated, disintegrating in just a single second. The entire earth shook and everyone felt they were unable to keep their balance with all that shaking. 

At the same time, they sky had turned darker and the air seemed to have gotten heavier. 

Boom! 

When everyone thought it was the end of the enemy skill, a second wave happened, destroying a different area from the first one. 

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! 

Many dark red shockwaves destroyed every single part inside the base. They were continuously spawning in the whole area, not letting anyone escape out of this alive. 

On the Misty Horizon city, even the citizens that were hiding inside their own houses were able to feel the earth shaking non-stop. Most of them were certain that the war had just begun and unfortunately, their city seemed to be the main battlefield. They could only pray that this battle would end without reaching any of their homes.
