Corrupt Creations

While Lilian and Caizhi were enjoying what the Hilkhell city had to offer, Seth was actually leaving the city.

After heading to the entrance of the Ygnolia forest again, Seth immediately took off his bracelet. His Mana Perception realm of cultivation was set free. He reached out for his minor spatial ring and took out a black coat with a black hood.

After putting it he casted one of his shadow abilities for disguise and his figure blurred with a black fog. If someone looked at him directly, that person would not be able to see his face clearly.

After entering the Mana Perception realm, he was eager to test his new strength, but he was all the time accompanied by the girls and didn't got the chance to fully test it. Now then, he would hunt some beasts and see what were his new capabilities.

Seth rushed inside the forest trying to find a good opponent for him. His speed was already out of ordinary normally, but now, he had infused Mana on his shadow walk and his figure blurred turning faster, all that could be seen was a shadow cutting through the forest.

"Oh!" Seth got impressed. He covered thousand meters in barely some seconds, with this kind of speed he could reach the depths of the forest quickly, where mana realm beasts would probably appear.

These kinds of beasts were very territorial, so he would only find one of them in each territory. The Ygnolia forest is really huge, so it was probably divided by a lot of beasts.

Seth knew that the elves loved to travel through this forest, actually they considered it their front garden, since people needed to cross it in order to reach their country. So, there was a secure path that was overly guarded by the elves. Seth naturally avoided such route and went towards the wild areas. Even after avoiding the main route, Seth occasionally passed by a group of some forest elves. None of them could feel or see him pass by them.

About an hour later and having crossed about hundred thousand meters with the help of the environment mana, Seth found out a cave. Just at the entrance he could feel the mana energy signature of the Mana Perception Initial-stage beast within.

'An opponent at the same realm as me. For a test, this might be an interesting fight.'

"It seems to be a Brown Weaver." Lexi looked at the webs covering the roof of the cave and together with the beast aura she concluded that.

Seth looked at the five meters tall cave and knew that the spider would be a horrible sight to see. However, he did not fear it, since he was resistant to poison now.

"Let's go Lexi." Seth entered the cave searching for the beast.

There were a lot of tunnels inside the cave leading to the ground below and every step Seth took the air seemed colder and colder. The webs were getting thicker and more present on the walls. The quantity of Mana infused on those webs further enhanced the sturdiness it had.

At some point the lights were so dim that Seth could only see anything inside the cave because he was a Mana realm practitioner and his senses had been enhanced when he advanced on his cultivation, together with his mastery over the darkness attribute.

Seth finally arrived at the lowest floor. The cave here was impressively spacious and as soon as Seth stepped there, he could feel the presence of the Brown Weaver.

Hanging on a web, there was a massive spider that had already discovered the intruder on its nest. Her eight brownish legs were slowly moving in Seth's direction, the spider wouldn't need to hunt today, since its prey has delivered himself at the doorstep.

The spider was a horrible creature, it would give chills for anyone that saw it. Its size was about two meters tall, but each leg would cover a five-meter distance easily if measured.

Lexi felt repulsed by the appearance alone, but the truly terrifying part were the fangs that were already dripping a liquid poison.

Seth didn't beat around the bush and released his mana in the form of a curtain of darkness that enveloped the already dark area. His eyes quickly adapted to the darkness and he saw that the spider was preparing to shoot something on his direction.

The Brown Weaver felt the mana surging from her prey and attacked, releasing a bolt of webs infused with mana, trying to directly restrain the target.

Seth didn't dodge this time. The curtain of darkness he had released rose from the ground, forming a thick wall of dark fog that blocked the webs. The spider kept shooting an incredible number of webs that would soon cover the wall of darkness, however...

Tizzz! Hizzz!

Those webs started to be swallowed and disappear within the darkness until nothing was left behind.

The spider saw that it was ineffective and stopped the barrage, opting for a close combat. It jumped from the webs it was hanging on with an impulse from all those legs. The action was really fast for a beast so enormous.

Seth waited until the spider got near him and when it was about a meter of distance, he activated his Shadow Walk, instantly leaving the spider field of vision. He merged with the darkness he had released and rapidly moved past the spider, appearing behind it.

Not losing the chance, he concentrated the energy around his elbow and struck down, using the strength from his mana together with his though body.

Boom!

Kirrrk!

The spider felt its rear part ripping and lost two of the legs that supported its body behind. Leaning on the other six legs it still had, the spider turned around and a poisoned fang tried to stab Seth from above.

Seth wanted to test how effective against poison was his body right now, so instead of dodging the attack, he blocked it using his hands. The brute force of this massive beast was instantly stopped by his hands, but the poison entered in contact with his skin.

He felt that a poison like this was nothing more than a normal liquid for his resistant body now.

The spider got impatient after being locked by the enemy, failing to understand that the poison was ineffective. It actually believed that the poison had somehow worked and started to raise its front legs to envelop the "lunch".

Seth was already getting familiar with his new strength, he would need stronger opponents than this spider to improve his control any further, so out of nowhere he vanished and like a shadow he appeared in front of the spider's eyes.

Boom!

The entire cave shook with the impact.

Sometime later Seth left the cave through the entrance and started to search for another Mana perception beast.
