Seth didn't know how long they had been in that dungeon, but at long last he could finally hear the voices of people who were not the four women near him.
A few more steps and they were done ascending the seemingly infinite stairway, now entering a room packed with soldiers and surprisingly Edwin.
This wasn't a maimed Edwin but one who still possessed all his body parts.
The sight of Seth freely walking behind Ella had Edwin's entire body pausing before continuing to move a second later, the man slowly and carefully approaching the just arrived group, observing its new and missing members.
"Ella" Edwin said, the soldiers around him having their swords out ready for a battle, though Edwin's raised palm in warning against anyone attacking when he saw Ella shake her head, a sad look in her eyes.
Edwin's eyes roamed all over the group and then moved over to an unbothered Seth who only spared him arms a glance before his eyes moved back to what Edwin believed to be the princess's butt.
"Evacuate the mansion," Edwin said in a defeated tone, the man having to repeat his words with a lot more intensity when no one moved.
"I said every one of you should leave "Edwin roared, and a second later everyone began scrambling out, the room quickly emptying up as the sound of soldiers leaving the mansion was all that was left echoing.
The thought that Edwin was Evacuating his mansion because he feared that Seth would go on another killing spree had Seth shaking his head.
"Princess where is Gastrol" Edwin asked, his eyes staring at Seth, but before Ella could reply to him, Seth spoke.
"I'm hungry, have you guys cleaned up the kitchen yet?"
Despite the calmness and innocence with which Seth spoke, his words only served to rile up Edwin when he saw the glint of sadness in Ella's eyes as he mentioned Gastrol.
Before Seth descended into the dungeon, he had left Edwin with a heart filled with regrets and vengeance, and now seeing Seth still being all cocky once more, and even having taken another life, Edwin just wanted to charge forth and put his blade between Seth's heart but his better reasoning stopped him.
A look at how Ella's body was slumped in defeat was enough of an indication that something had transpired underground, something that had put the princess on the back foot and under Seth's thumb.
"I'll take your silence as a No, get me a room or I'll find one myself," Seth said, deciding not to pursue the demands of his tummy for now.
"We should leave immediately, staying here is too dangerous" Irene quickly said just after Seth was done talking, the risks of staying in the enemy's abode for any minute longer irked the woman, and she wasn't sure if Seth would be able to get them out of another trap.
On any other day, perhaps Seth would have heeded Iren's advice, but the problem right now was that despite the strong front he currently putting up, he was drained.
Despite feeding on Burl, Seth could still feel the claws of exhaustion climbing up his bones and pulling on his eyelids, and as dangerous as staying in the city was, he reckoned that wandering outside might be far worse, but Irene did have a point when she warned against staying in the mansion.
"Ella I'll be putting Irene's under your care," Seth said, raising up his right hand and waving at Ella, the necklace conspicuously lying on his palm.
"I'm going to go check up on something, see you later," he said, and with a blast of his qi, Seth took off his figure seemingly disappearing as he went through the window and quickly left the mansion.
Just because the commander's house wasn't safe didn't mean that the entire city would be unsafe, when he used up what was probably his origin to transform Dorian, Seth had slept for about three days, and now while he was sure that he wasn't going to be asleep for that long, he just didn't trust anybody to be beside him while he rested.
His figure speeding atop the rooftops of houses and being unnoticed, Seth ran towards the outer city.
while the city had a high wall built around it, it also had another inner wall that separated the city into both the inner and outer regions.
Seconds before Seth reached the outer city, he killed off the wave of qi spiraling out of him, and keeping his qi as compact as possible he continued his run.
With Edwin most likely the strongest and very likely still suffering from debuffs from the injuries Seth had inflicted on him, Seth doubted there was anyone else in the city who could keep a track of him.
His eyes moving left and right, Seth searched for a particular location, and when his eyes spotted what he was looking for, he headed for that area, dropping into an alley nearby.
At this time Seth could already feel himself breathing heavily, the jaws of rest for some reason now opening wider than ever as it rushed to gobble him, but this time he was able to persevere long enough to pull his pen and ink and draw up a seal around himself and at the alley entrance.
Seth didn't draw much, just a little barrier to protect him, and one to alert him of entries into the alley, and then seconds later he turned to a log of wood, not even responding to the several alarms and shocks that his seal sent through him several times
....
The ground occasionally trembling, people shouting and stamping on the floor, along with the sound of several explosions echoing all around, this was what Seth woke up to after his hopefully short rest.
A few seconds later and Seth decided to open his eyes and see whether he was in a dream or had been captured, but when he sat up, he could only raise an eyebrow at the houses burning all around him, the high building whose walls once made up the alley he was currently in having been reduced to half their size and still on fire
"Did I sleep through all this? "Seth muttered.
