Corrupt Creations

"Come on! Destroy those documents faster!"

"I'm doing it! However, there are so many of them that I'm not able to do it all at once."

Many elders of the Luberus family, were working on those underground chambers, trying to erase any traces of what they were doing all this while.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind one of them, piercing his neck from behind with a dark dagger.

The other elf saw everything that happened with his companion and panicked. He didn't understand anything and could only start yelling for help.

"Guards! Here! Help me inside the room! Guards!" He kept retreating until his back hit the wall behind him.

"Don't worry. No one will come to rescue you. Actually, very soon, you will join everyone else from your family."

The Elf looked towards the door and saw that the guards were all lying down on the floor. There was a poodle of blood where their bodies were.

"Please! Spare me! Plea..."

The dagger Seth was holding suddenly flashed forward, silencing the elder in charge of disposing of the documents.

Through his Soul Sense, he observed that there was only a single place left for him to go. A room where there were some individuals discussing about important matters. That room was currently sealed and no one inside was able to notice what was happening outside.

Seth had already thoroughly "cleaned" the other parts of the mansion, leaving behind that last room only.

However, to his surprise, he just arrived at a room that had many documents scattered across the tables. After dealing with the elves inside, he was about to leave and go to the other room, but he looked towards some papers that were on top of the table and saw some words that picked his interest.

"Ways of using the Crimson Agent?"

Seth took the papers on his hands and started to read the documents.

There were many rows and rows of words describing on how to use the "Crimson Agent", what Seth instantly recognized as the Corrupted Blood.

There were parts explaining on how to obtain it from certain areas, where the beasts were already infected by a mysterious group of people; How to use it properly and what it could do. All in all, there was a complete study over the "Crimson Agent".

Seth couldn't believe that there were other groups already using the Corrupted Blood as a weapon, but he remembered the episode where the beasts attacked the Hilkhell city and he finally realized that even those attacks must have been orchestrated.

'Someone is infecting the beasts!'

Suddenly his eyes descended and he saw a seal imprint that he had already seen before. Below the seal there were some words that confirmed his speculations.

"From a researcher of the Cerberus Clan."

When Seth read it, he couldn't bring himself to believe it was true. His minds tried to formulate a possibility where the elves from the Luberus family were able to find these files by chance, but inwardly he knew that it wouldn't be possible.

First of all, if there was a group that knew about the Corruption, that would be the Cerberus Clan, since it was at their facilities that Seth inherited the Seed of Tyranny. However, the Cerberus Clan was so secretive that if they didn't want anyone finding out anything about them, then nothing would be found.

That was one of the reasons Seth has been unsuccessful on his search for them. There was no one that knew anything about that clan, but right now, Seth found something...

The Cerberus Clan had connections with the Luberus family.

Seth stored all the papers that were above the table inside his spatial ring and vanished from that room, only leaving behind the dead bodies of those elders that were disposing of the documents.

"How about we leave the city tonight?"

"That is impossible! We must be sure if Young Master Elydir is alive first! What if... What if he was caught by the Elf Queen forces? If he tells them about us, we are all going to die sooner or later."

"Grand Elder is right. We must create a secret group and find out where he is..."

"That won't be necessary."

A voice that no one expected to hear, gave them the answer to their questions.

"Your Young Master is already dead."

"Who?! Who are you? Show yourself!"

Seth was still hiding inside the darkness, only letting out his voice.

The almost twenty elves inside that room released their cultivation, scanning the area and trying to discover who was the intruder. They all knew that they needed to silence that person as soon as they found him.

However, with their cultivation at the Qi Transformation Real and Mana Perception Realm, they wouldn't be able to even scratch Seth's body at all.

"Let me ask you one thing... Which one of you was in charge of making contact with the people from the Cerberus Clan?"

Almost everyone had an expression full of doubts. They hadn't even heard about the Cerberus Clan. Only a single person made an expression that was full of fear. It was obviously the Grand Elder. Other than Elyon, he was the second in command and he had to know about everything.

Seth was using his Soul Sense and was able to see his expression very clearly. He already knew that the Grand Elder would be the only one able to give him any information he was seeking.

A poodle of darkness opened up in the middle of the round table where everyone was sitting, and Seth's figure emerged from there.

The elders released their Qi or Mana, trying to pressured Seth and restrain him directly, but all of them failed.

Seth suddenly opened his arms and around the entire room, darkness descended, turning the environment darker than the night.

Seth figure vanished and he moved swiftly between the elves, using his darkness to cut their bodies and kill them like a merciless butcher. Seth's darkness was so thick that even the sound of their fearful screams were suppressed to the minimum.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The Grand Elder couldn't see anything, even though he was a Mana Perception middle-stage cultivator. The only explanation inside his head, was that someone from the Cerberus Clan came to silence them all. After witnessing the dark element, he was even more certain that it was that.

He knelt down of the ground and started to beg: "Senior please! We didn't do anything to offend you, and we didn't expose our relationship with your Clan either! So, why are you attacking us?"

Thud!

The last body dropped lifeless on the ground and only he Grand Elder still remained alive. The darkness cleared up, revealing the figure of Seth. He was already in front of the Grand Elder, while all the other elves were already dead.

"Senior... I beg..."

"There is no need to say anything. Just stay still."

Seth's eyes started glowing with a blue light as he channeled his soul energy into his Hades arts.

The Grand Elder's eyes lost their brilliance and Seth invaded his soul, going directly towards his Soul Essence.

Since Seth wasn't interest in keeping his life, it was very easy for him to search for the memory he wanted to see, because he completely ignored anything else than that.

His soul energy entered like a razor, slicing up a path for him.

The Grand Elder started to bleed from all the seven orifices on his face, since his soul was being sliced apart. The pain he was feeling couldn't even be described, but it would soon come to an end, because Seth had found what he wanted.

The Grand Elder and Elyon traveled to meet a demon in a place that Seth had seen before.

Desolate Scorching Wasteland!

It was the place where he was caged back then.

The environment there was very hot and the sand would burn the feet. There were countless beasts lurking inside that desert, waiting to make you, their next meal and Seth had witnessed that happening some times.

Elyon and the Grand Elder entered a cave where there was a person already waiting for them. Seth instantly recognized him, since he was one of the people he hated the most.

That man was sitting on a chair while holding some documents. The first thing the Grand Elder noticed, was the silver ring on his finger. There was a savage-looking dog with three heads on that ring and the elder could feel that it was constantly drawing Mana from the environment.

The man stood up and went towards Elyon.

"I was waiting for your arrival. This is for you, I bet you will like it." He gave Elyon the documents Seth had just acquired.

"Crimson Agent? How can I obtain that Crimson Agent?" Elyon asked after reading the files. He was eager to try those things out.

"Well, it won't be that difficult. We started to infect the beasts around the Human Territory with it. You just need to ask someone to bring you samples of that blood."

Seth returned back to the present, while dropping the Grand Elder lifeless body on the ground.. He felt like he had just acquired some pieces of a huge puzzle.
