A loud "boom" which brought about a light quake sounded in the dungeon passageway, originating from the collision of Seth's fist and the bar in front of him.
Despite the little ruckus which Seth's action had caused, the bars stood firm, not a single dent or crack appearing in them.
"You're really strong, but your resistance is futile" Ella commented.
"You see, any place in this dungeon can be turned into a cell, and the seal that makes this possible was given as a gift to Edwin's great grandfather, it comes from a higher level world, and till this day, there has never been any record of someone breaking out of it' Ella explained to Seth who was running his hand over the red bars.
Despite there being gaps between the bars, these gaps weren't empty as Seth's hand could feel a thin barrier covering them, and it was this thin barrier he had thus punched, and yet his punch had been totally ineffective.
"Alright, so you've caught me, it still doesn't change the fact that for you to need to hold me if you want to capture me unless you can actually move the prison," Seth said
"Ohh about that, you should begin feeling your body getting a lot heavier very soon".
"Well, in that case, it's quite the slow-working seal," Seth said turning to look at the lit-up carvings on the wall.
"Yes it works slowly, but its strength and versatility more than makes up for its slow activation" Ella pointed out, the woman calmly conversing with Seth without a single bother.
"And what of its faults and weak points," Seth asked, as he moved away from the bar and began walking by the walls.
"There are no weak points, this seal is impeccable without a single flaw" Ella confidently said, praise present in her voice.
"And how are you so sure about that," Seth asked as he stopped at a spot by the wall and began running his hands over the barrier which coated the wall, his eyes staring at the drawing beneath it.
"The best Seal masters in Ingrod have checked the seal, tried to decipher and recreate it, but in the end, none have been able to crack the seal's secrets, this seal is one of the key reasons for the Ingrod being at the forefront of seal mastery in the world" Ella boasted.
"True as that may be, I find myself disappointed in you, I thought you were an intelligent woman who could observe the world unbiasedly".
"Tell me, Ella, if a novice fighter calls a seasoned mediocre fighter an expert, does that make him one," Seth asked, staring at Ella whose face began going through different emotions.
"Let me see just how strong the pride of Ingrod is, "Seth said as he lifted his right hand, flooded it with qi, and then punched a particular location on the wall.
At first, nothing happened when Seth's fist collided with the wall, Ella unknowingly letting out a sigh of relief, but then seconds later, a crack appeared at the spot where Seth's fist had hit, and then the crack began to rapidly spread, a look of horror claiming Ella's beautiful face, but that wasn't the worst of it as when the crack reached the bar, the entire dungeon began trembling, the lights which had been switched off began flickering on and off as the dungeon was sent into chaos.
Waves of qi flooded the dungeon violently smashing into the walls and ceiling of the dungeon, this random action forcing Ella, Irene, and Dilise to their knees as the women's bodies were infiltrated by qi that didn't belong to them.
While Qi that was not their own did enter the women's bodies, it could not be called Qi poisoning seeing as their bodies were invaded by free qi, qi that had no will, and other than causing them severe discomfort which could be seen by the blood coming up the women's mouth, the qi was easily expunged.
As for Gastrol, the man stood firm, easily warding off the several waves of qi as he stood in front of Ella, his swords drawn and ready to protract her if the need arose.
"Take her out of here" Gastrol shouted as he vigilantly stared at Seth, but before the shadows which were creeping up on Ella could swallow her, a powerful slash of qi collided with it, exploding on contact and driving back the shadows from Ella.
Gastrol had been too slow to react to Seth using his swordstaffs, but the man had no intentions of letting Seth have his way anymore as he charged at him.
Considering his strength, Gastrol was no threat to Seth and would have been a good training partner for Seth's dual sword staff-wielding, but at the moment, Seth had a living compass to secure, and a somehow troublesome woman to watch against, he couldn't afford to take the situation lightly, so he kept Red back in his space ring and wielded only Black, ready to quickly end this battle.
As Gastrol ran towards Seth, his sword lit up in a white light, this light extending till it covered Gastrol's entire body, and when the light finally died off, the man was covered in dazzling silver armor, his speed drastically increased, and in no time he was already before Seth, swinging his sword at the man.
A moment later, Gastrol was behind Seth, his swords having been swung, but when the man looked down at his sword, his eyes were greeted to a sliced weapon, and a second later his upper body slipped off his lower body complements on the cut that cleanly went through his chest.
As Gastrol's upper body fell, it revealed the form of Seth standing behind him, one of Black's tips facing the ground and blood dripping from it, one full powered swing from Seth had been enough to cut both Gastrol and his sword in half.
Though the passageway was filled with chaotic qi and flickering lights, its inhabitants were cultivators, and despite the situation, the death of someone like Gastrol who had possessed a powerful qi was more than enough to draw everyone's attention, his falling body eliciting a scream from the Ella which was accompanied by the princes being set ablaze, her body shrouded by blue azure flames that did not burn her but flickered violently in Seth's direction.
