Corrupt Creations

Chapter 108 - Discovered

Seth observed everything from the side. There seemed to be almost sixty people in the building already, waiting for a responsible person to come and give them the right directions.

It actually didn't take that long for someone to come, but it wasn't a leader of the family, but a leader of a party of five people.

Haldir came through the entrance followed by two male and two female elves. They were looking towards him with admiration and reverence. He was just like everyone in that building except for Seth, a member of the huge Allakiir family. However, he had something special, he was blessed with a great talent in comparison to the others. He was a thirty years old Qi Transformation peak-stage cultivator, one little step away from the Mana Perception realm and entering the rank of the male prodigies.

Only he knew how hard that little step would be, since a good part of his cultivation base was bought by his family, when they fed him a million of different kind of resources. But still, he was almost a prodigy from the ranks, just below the Golden Archer, Elydir Luberus.

He guided his party through the building until they reached the arena, where approximately sixty other elves were waiting.

"Haldir!" A lot of noisy exclamations started, after people spotted him walking towards the arena.

"Look! Freda, Vena, Balin and Elrand came together with him."

"They are the strongest cultivators from the younger generation of our family. There is five less spots now that they arrived. Sigh..."

Haldir came towards the other people and politely smiled at them.

"How are you doing, my brethren? Are you prepared to fight for one of the ten spots available with all you've got? I think it's going to be very difficult to secure a spot, since there are so many strong people here."

The crowd laughed after his little joke.

"Ahaha, brother Haldir, there is no possibility that you won't get one of the ten spots." Freda laughed too and commented.

"That's right." Vena agreed with her.

After their little chat, some people at the crowd resumed to do their things while many of them were still discussing about the human that came to watch them.

Haldir turned towards one of the male elves on his group and asked: "Balin, don't you feel that they are acting kind of strange?"

"I do think it too. Wait a bit, I will ask what is currently happening." Balin went towards a group of six people to ask about what was happening.

He came back and told Haldir group about Seth, that was sitting in a distant corner.

Seth was just here to pass some time and had no real interest on their little event. However, he could feel that trouble would inevitably end up coming his way.

Although Seth seemed to be lazily sitting on a distant seat together with Arel, he was constantly sharpening his Soul Sense, making it go farther little by little.

Suddenly, he felt something different and interesting. It was so sudden that he didn't even know how to react.

"Holy Shit!" Seth stood up while almost screaming. He just realized a wild possibility after he witnessed something with his Soul Sense.

Seth unconsciously turned his head towards the direction of what he just saw, but he quickly averted his gaze, bringing it back to a male elf that was slowly approaching him with four other people behind.

"Who are you?" Haldir asked in a heavy intonation.

"Oh? Hello, my name is Seth."

"Seth? Heh... I will say it only once. Leave this place right now. This is an easy way out I'm giving you. A human does not deserve to be here."

Seth had stood up after realizing something. But now, he sat down again on his chair and yawned before saying: "What if I don't leave?"

"Then I will have to expel you form here the hard way."

Arel stood up and hastily said: "Please Young Master Haldir. Young Master Seth is a guest brought here by Master Theod himself. You should give him some face in the name of my master."

"That much I have already deduced. Give him some face? Isn't that what I just did? I gave him the chance to withdraw peacefully, but it seems he ignored that chance."

"Yawn!" Seth was getting bored of these typical young masters. They were no fun at all, causing trouble without even a good reason.

"Aren't you going to leave?" Haldir seemed ready to act.

"Brother Haldir, go and beat him up. He is clearly not going to leave." Freda was instigating him to act. She was a believer of her senior brother Haldir.

"Leave? Nah... I don't want to leave. This place is quite boring, but outside here is even worse."

"Boring? Then let me show you something interesting..."

Haldir moved forward to grab Seth and throw him outside.

Seth on the other hand, was about to raise his hand when suddenly the environment turned silent. The little bit of Mana he was about to use, dissipated by the power of the person that arrived.

A woman was standing near them while looking towards Seth. She was the same person Seth unintentionally saw stark naked through his Soul Sense.

Some minutes before, he had seen her again with his Soul Sense. She was hiding while using her Profound Mana Realm cultivation base skill. She was able to use it to control the light around herself, turning invisible to weaker cultivators. However, Seth could see her very clearly with his Soul Sense.

It was a very pleasant surprise for him at first, but he almost shouted loud after realizing who she was really. Seth was more than certain that She was a Profound Mana realm cultivator, deducing her real status right after.

'Holy Shit! I peeked on the strongest cultivator of the Allakiir family while she was bathing. She must be that Miss Elyra that Arel have talked about.' Seth went nuts after realizing what he has done. He swore to bring that secret to his coffin.

The woman kept looking towards Seth, what made him go even crazier on his thoughts.

'Did she find out? She must have found out! I'm fucked!' Seth was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

While Seth was thinking he was dead for sure, he failed to notice that Haldir and every single male present were getting bewitched by her beauty. She was so beautiful, that even Freda and Vena were admiring her beauty.

"You... saw me, right?"

Elyra asked Seth a simple question, but he understood it as nothing less than she signing his death sentence.

'I'm dead. I'm so dead.'

"Miss Elyra, did you come to oversee our little event? Please, allow me to dispose of a bothersome insect, before we can start it." Haldir said in a polite intonation.

He was trying to impress a Profound Mana powerhouse with his silly display, but in reality, he was nothing less than a dancing clown on her eyes. She knew Seth's strength and when she thought that a person like Haldir was trying to pick a fight with a character of Seth's caliber, it was nothing less than a comedy show for her.

"Please, follow me. I need to talk with you privately." Elyra ignored Haldir completely. She was completely interested in Seth for now.

"Miss Elyra?" Haldir could not comprehend the things that were happening. Elyra seemed to be talking with a lowly human, even asking him to follow her for a private talk.

"Alright." Seth agreed with Elyra. He didn't know if he would come back alive from their private talk.

"Miss Elyra, wait! You can't. Aren't you going to..." Haldir tried to grab her shoulder, but stopped in the middle. He almost forgot the difference on their status.

"Since when did I start to need to tell you what I'm going to do?" Elyra released a bit of her pressure and the people standing near her and Seth felt the atmosphere get heavier.

"Not, it's..."

"Since when did you start to tell me what I can and what I can't do?" Elyra severely looked towards him, making his body tremble while being pressured.

"Never... Miss Elyra."

"It's good that you understand it. I'll leave everything here on your hands. Make sure to not disappoint me."

Elyra used her Profound Mana Realm cultivation, making the light bend around herself and Seth. They turned invisible before everyone's eyes, vanishing from the scene.

No one understood what has happened, but most people started to look towards Haldir with pity. He successfully angered Elyra because of a worthless human.

'Damn!' Haldir was feeling really mad and angered inwardly. However, on the outside, he didn't show it on his expression.

Compared to him though, Seth was already saying good bye for his life. He didn't know how she discovered about that, but now he was going to pay for his mistakes.

Seth followed Elyra towards the mansion while making his brain cells work at breakneck speed to devise a way-out plan.
