Corrupt Creations

Seth threw the black sword away as if he was throwing a piece of garbage. It was a good weapon, but it didn't fit his tastes at all.

He could have kept those weapons to sell them in the future and buy more resources, however he knew that the things he wanted would not be selling on stores or auctions, so money wasn't going to be the problem.

"H-H-He... Who is he really?" Ivorn started to cower after observing Seth killing his guards easily. They were Qi Transformation initial-stage Realm cultivators. He knew that those guards were way stronger than him and could defeat him in a single move, but Seth defeated them in a single sword strike.

"Oh? Impressive, so you are probably a Qi Transformation middle-stage or late-stage cultivator. No wonder the Elf Queen invited you as a guest. Such a strong youth, it's a pity you will be dying here today." Elwin deduced Seth's strength based on his speed and moves.

Elwin would not think Seth was already a Mana Control cultivator at all, because that would be impossible on his conception. A youth at the Mana Perception Realm would be a prodigy and listed on the ranks. However, Seth was a nobody that they hadn't heard of, so he ditched that possibility, only leaving him with that guess. He thought Seth had an artifact to hide his cultivation level.

"So, I'll be dying here today huh? I wonder who will be the one that will kill me? You're certainly not talking about you right? Such a frail and thin man like you, can't possibly have the strength to do that." Seth taunted Elwin.

Elwin furrowed his eyebrows. He was planning to end things quickly first, but now he would take his time to play with Seth and torture him a bit.

"Heh! Let's see if you can defend yourself from this thin and frail man then." Elwin didn't use his daggers to attack, his body just vanished as he used his movement skills to accelerate towards Seth.

Ivorn couldn't even see what happened and Elwin was already kicking towards Seth's head.

Seth took and orb out of his spatial ring. He channeled some energy inside it and a wave of fire started to burn everything in front of him. He used that opportunity to leave the place he was.

Elwin finally felt the energy Seth released to create the wave of fire that was hurtling towards him. It was Mana. And that energy seemed to only be slightly weaker than his own.

He quickly stopped his movement and avoided getting burned, escaping to the side.

"You! You're a Mana Perception initial-stage cultivator? That's impossible!" Elwin was shocked that Seth was stronger than he thought at first.

Seth didn't say anything. He channeled a bit more of Mana into the orb, creating a one-meter-tall fire ball, sending it flying towards Elwin.

"Tch! Too slow." Elwin saw the fire ball flying towards him and his first action was to dodge it, since he considered that attack too slow, but he failed to notice something. Seth had targeted Ivorn instead of him.

The fire ball passed by his side and kept flying towards Ivorn. That was the time when Elwin finally realized that he wasn't the main target.

He used his movement technique and appeared between the fire ball and Ivorn, releasing his mana to form an invisible shield, intercepting Seth's skill.

Boom!

An explosion burned the forest around, but the shield Elwin had created didn't break. It resisted the impact, protecting Ivorn and himself.

"Sigh... I don't feel any difference when using an orb instead of manually creating the skill. It's probably a bit stronger than if I were to do it without using it as a catalyst, however, I feel plastered when using it."

Crack!

Seth closed his hand while holding the orb, breaking it into thousand pieces. That action showed how strong his physical strength was.

"So, you're targeting my nephew... Very well." Elwin got angered by Seth's actions and a pale green light covered his whole body.

He grabbed his daggers and started to use his wind arts. His body felt as light as a feather, increasing his speed and dexterity.

Elwin shot towards Seth, two times faster than before, not giving him the chance to draw another weapon out of his spatial ring.

His dagger grazed Seth's left cheek, almost cutting him.

One after another, Elwin slashed multiple times while Seth retreated, avoiding getting cut. The speed of his movements was constantly increasing, making his arms blurry. At some point, even after images started to form.

Ivorn could only see the metal glint of his uncle daggers slashing towards everywhere, however, not even once, he was able to hit Seth. That made a bad feeling arise inside his heart. He was getting anxious at the thought that his uncle would not be able to defeat that human.

A different green light emerged from Elwin's daggers as he took some distance from Seth, making an "X" cut on the air. Two wind blades made of mana hurtled so fast towards Seth that it was approaching the speed of a Mana Perception late-stage cultivator already.

But unfortunately for Elwin, that action of his gave Seth enough time to draw another weapon from his spatial ring. A greatsword appeared on his hands and he made a sweep movement with it. The wind blades coming towards him were crushed with the shockwave it created and a wind storm surged with power, disrupting Elwin movements.

Seth felt a sense of closeness with the greatsword, the effect it created while he swept it made him feel awesome. It was a very heavy and big weapon, that required a lot of physical strength just so a person could properly handle it, but the power behind the attacks was out of ordinary.

Elwin felt that wind storm rushing towards him and couldn't believe that the shockwave resulted from his sweeping motion was enough to cause that effect. If the shockwave could create that strong wind storm, what would have happened if he was struck directly? What kind of physical strength was required to create a wind storm like that?

"I think I found a weapon suitable for me. Let's push things a bit further and test the final output of power." Seth wasn't taking this fight seriously; he was considering Elwin as a living training dummy.

Seth released a bit more of his cultivation base and Elwin started to feel suppressed.

"You! Who are you?" Elwin's countenance changed when he realized that Seth's strength wasn't what he thought to be at all.

"You don't need to know about that." Seth positioned his greatsword to attack, making his aura pressure Elwin a bit more.

Elwin made the quick decision of giving up everything and run towards the woods. After Seth exposed his aura, he knew that it would be impossible to win against him.

"Trying to escape? I won't let you!"

Seth activated his Shadow Walk, appearing right before Elwin like a ghost. His dark element was flowing towards the greatsword, covering its entire body.

With a single strike, Seth made the dark energy engulf Elwin and everything around him.

Boom!

The darkness engulfed everything in the area, destroying the trees, terrain and Elwin's body together. The poor elf assassin couldn't even react before Seth's explosive attack.

Ivorn started to run when he realized his uncle was trying to flee alone from the area. He was lucky enough to distance himself half a kilometer, before he heard the loud explosion. When he looked back, he saw a dark sphere engulfing the whole area he was before, leaving behind a deep crater on the ground.

Ivorn fell on the ground and his legs were refusing to work properly. He almost pissed his pants after witnessing that level of destruction. However, he wasn't fortunate enough to leave Seth's detection and when he finally regained his strength to stand up, he saw Seth coming towards him from the middle of the destructed area.

"D-D-Demon! Please, spare my life!" After witnessing the dark energy, he immediately associated Seth with the demon race.

"I must thank you, Young Master Ivorn. You were very useful on bringing some test subjects for me."

There was a terrifying smile on Seth's face.

Ivorn was about to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but his vision went black, since a greatsword pierced his chest with no omen, ending his life.

"They were weak, but at least I was able to figure out my weapon preference." Seth looked towards the greatsword he had just used and saw many cracks appearing on the blade already. That sword wasn't able to hold his powerful Mana and was on the verge of breaking.

Seth collected Elwin and Ivorn spatial rings but didn't look if there was anything inside. He just quickly left that place, since he knew that the explosion would attract a lot of practitioners towards there.

He continued to travel towards his destination, acting as if nothing has happened, unlike the people at the Vivrem family.

Six hours later, a servant started to make his report.

"Master, we discovered traces of a huge fight outside the west gate, where Master Elwin and Young Master Ivorn bodies were found."

The servant was keeling down while reporting to his master.

Crack!

The armrest of the wood chair the man was sitting, was broken to pieces and he the servant in a very strict tone: "I want you to find the real culprit for me. I must kill him with my own hands!"
