Corrupt Creations

Chapter 112 - Deal With The Humans



"Eh... Nothing. I was just thinking out loud."

"..."

Seth stopped a bit to think about the elves he had encountered before and it was just like Elyra had said. Apart from their long and lush hair, they seemed to be as smooth as the time they were born.

\'Actually, if I think more deeply, even the elf that I spent a night with, inside that Evergreen Tavern, didn\'t have a single strand of hair. And here I thought, it was because she liked it like that. Hm… Maybe I should have considered Theod\'s idea of marrying Elyra... These elves are full of surprises.\' Seth looked towards Elyra and admired her beauty secretly. He was starting to think that it was kind of sexy, that racial trait of the elven women.

For men though, he felt pity. Even the thin strands of hair humans had on their arms and legs were denied from them. It actually seemed they have shaved those places, giving them a feminine looking.

"It\'s time for you to leave. Try searching for something in a radius of three kilometers. That would be a good margin for them to act, because there is a huge flux of people coming and going around here. Make sure to only observe the situation and never interfere with anything. Our main goal is to investigate, not to fight. Even if you find anything, there isn\'t the need to report it back immediately, just keep observing. You can go."

Seth heard Elyra commands through the fake ears and departed from the party. When he was outside, he immediately shook the attention of anyone looking at him, entering a small alley. He put his mask on and left through the other side of the street. His figure vanished within the shadows, making it impossible for even Mana Control cultivators to find his whereabouts.

Elyra was talking with many different and important figures inside the party, and it took most of her time. She didn\'t even have some space to do the investigation and could only observe what people around her were doing.

She started to notice that every now and then, someone would leave the party and not come back. A person stood up suddenly and went towards the bathroom. She knew that that person was an important figure that commanded a battalion of wardens. As she expected, he didn\'t come back after a lot of time.

Although it could be only a simple coincidence, she was starting to think the contrary. There were so many people on this party that, one less important person would amount to nothing.

Suddenly, Elyon Luberus and his son stood up. They were something akin to a shining star in the Elven Territory, so every single person was kind of paying attention on them. Just like what happened with her.

"I\'m sorry everyone, my wife is not feeling very well and I will accompany her back home. Let\'s go son, we are leaving." Elyon said goodbye for some of the most important figure and gave onw last look towards Elyra. He noticed that the man escorting her was not present, but he thought nothing much of it.

"Make sure to be extra cautious, Seth. Elyon and his family is actually leaving the party." Elyra warned Seth through the artifact and continued to observe everything.

Seth was searching for the people she wanted him to find, but instead of manually looking for them he was going to do it in another way. He was on top of a Sentinel Tree, sitting in a comfortable position, concentrated on expanding his senses to the extreme.

Suddenly, his Soul Sense expanded and covered the whole area Elyra wanted him to search. He could see everything very clearly. The quantity of people he caught in his sense was numbering the ten thousand. What he didn\'t expect, was that he was able to see everything that was currently happening.

There were many people participating in the party and many people engaged in conversations on the outside as well. A bit farther from that place there was a residential area, where Seth could actually see many couples engaged in night activities. He saw some elves doing illegal business in the alleys and saw that there was a group of twenty elves entering a building.

Seth noticed that every single one of them were acting a bit suspicious. He caught a hint of anxiety on some of them.

Seth decided to concentrate his Soul Sense around them and was finally able to perceive the truth. They were all humans in disguise.

\'Miss Elyra was right. They are using disguises. Hm… A group of twenty humans, that\'s more than I thought.\'

The humans entered a certain building and were received by a group of elves. Seth was certain that he had seen some of them inside the party he left some time ago.

"Welcome humans. Our leader will be here soon. He said you should wait patiently, since there are many eyes on him."

"No problem." An old man assumed the leadership of the group of humans, interacting with the elves, while the others stood silent at the side.

Seth could feel their presences, see and hear them, but he still wasn\'t able to identify their origin nor feel their real strength. For that he would need more training in this art.

But it didn\'t take too much time for him to be able to identify a person that was approaching the building.

Elyon Luberus and his son arrived at that place where the humans were, however Seth couldn\'t see his wife. Elyon had already sent her home. He didn\'t truly trust her and left her outside the business he was about to do.

Elyon entered the building with his son and immediately casted a very thick energy barrier after that. He\'d rather be safe than sorry. If anything happened with his plans, he might face dire consequences.

That barrier was able to block any energy from entering or leaving, however, Seth\'s Soul Sense bypassed that protection easily.

Elyon passed by some prestigious elves that were in the party with him moments before and they all bowed towards him. He arrived in the room where twenty humans we gathered.

"So, you finally came, Wang Lei. I have been eagerly waiting for you." Elyon said with a friendly expression, but inwardly he was hiding all his contempt for these people.

"Ahaha brother Elyon, I\'m honored to know that you missed me, but you know... The things you wanted us to bring are really hard to acquire. We\'ve been through many troubles to find this, even losing three of our experts on the process."

"Don\'t worry, we will pay you handsomely for your efforts, just like the agreement. Let\'s make it quick to avoid any troubles."

The man called Wang Lei smiled and said to his men: "Bring it here."

Two of his men went to the adjacent room and brought back two black boxes. They put them on the table and opened it very carefully. They were using a pair of Mana enhanced gloves in order to not enter in any contact with what was inside.

After opening the cases the items inside were revealed for everyone to see.

There were many bottles that contained some kind of a red liquid. It was the blood of some beasts they have slaughtered recently. However, there seemed to be something more inside the blood, making it look aghast.

Seth was observing everything through his Soul Sense and when those bottles were revealed, the Seed of Tyranny inside of him had a small response. He felt its hunger for the energy inside that blood and instantly noticed that it was the blood of those crazy beasts he saw many times.

"Corrupted blood?" Seth was starting to think that whatever that Elyon was trying to do, would be huge and terrible.

"Good! It\'s finally here. All this time, I could not search for something like this in the open, or the Elf Queen might notice my actions, so I had to ask for your help with that. Now that we have this in hands, we can finally advance our plans. Wang Lei, make sure you prepare everything accordingly on your side, because when the Wild Games starts, we will make our moves."

"Don\'t worry. We are already ready. May I ask if you are going to pay us now?"

"Ahaha. I was almost forgetting." Elyon passed his hand over his spatial ring and many bottles of green liquid appeared before Wang Lei.

Seth once again, recognized the substance inside those bottles. It was the synthetical poison called Evergreen.

"Will that suffice?" Elyon asked with a smile.

"That\'s enough, but aren\'t you forgetting something?" Wang Lei said.

"Naturally I\'m not. Here." Elyon took a bottle of a transparent liquid and gave it to Wang Lei.

"The antidote... With that it is concluded." Wang Lei stashed everything inside the black boxes and closed it carefully.

"Ahaha. That was a good deal. I\'m pretty sure, other humans won\'t be able to stand a chance against that poison. Now you just need to help us in our final plan and we will assist you back in the human territory.. I\'m sure the Blazing Phoenix Country and that Wu Martial Kingdom you told me about, won\'t be able to cope with you anymore."
