"What the hell is going on" Seth wondered, what had initially been a way for him to rapidly heal himself had turned into a great cheat for breaking through minor levels, but he had taken such a change in stride and decided to enjoy its benefits, but now even he was left contemplating on what to do in his current situation.
"Alright perhaps I have underestimated the value of defeating both Jinkins and Diana, but that doesn't explain where my body and dantian got the qi to continuously breakthrough till he was now at the 3rd stage gas soldier level".
Seth didn't have some point system to let him know how many points he needed for a breakthrough, and how many he had gotten from defeating his enemies, but he was ready to accept that he had made a windfall from his successive victories, but the one thing he couldn't understand was where his dantian got the qi that continuously filled it up to saturation and then pushed it to the next state.
Sure Diana was a 2nd stage Kaiser, but there was no way she could supply Seth's monstrous dantian with the qi it required.
"Uhhhh" Seth groaned, frustrated at his lack of information and deciding to also shelf this mystery for now, he looked at the parched ground and brown vegetation meters around him, a consequence of Seth greedily drinking up all the qi in the area and then he began moving in the direction of his target.
Within seconds, Seth was out of the vicinity of the almost destroyed base and charging back into the forest, he was ready to ignore his mental fatigue and push his body to the max in pursuit of his enemy, but within minutes of his entry into the forest, he dropped that idea as a few seconds later he stopped some distance away from a woman sitting on the ground and resting her back on a tree.
The woman had almost half her face covered in blood, with her head missing a lot of her once beautiful hair, and a pool of blood having already formed around her as blood flowed out from her back.
"Hello Amelia," Seth said with a smile as he walked towards the heavily breathing woman who didn't dare take her eyes off him, he could see fear in her eyes, and this fear grew with every step he took closer to her.
"Please, stop, don't come closer, don't kill me" Amelia begged as she pushed herself over, falling headfirst into the pool of blood around her, and desperately began crawling away from Seth, her action giving Seth a clear view of her almost naked back and the long gash trailing from her neck down to her back which spilled out more blood as she moved.
Though Seth hadn't been able to check on Amelia after throwing her at Diana's attack, he could still smell her scent moving from the battlefield while he fought Diana.
Seth had been prepared for a hard chase, expecting Amelia to flee through the air and most likely return to the battleship Diana had talked about, but within just a short period of his pursuit, he found his target here, barely hanging on to her life, and from how severe her injuries were, he concluded that she had been unable to put up an acceptable defense before she was hit by Diana's attack.
Seth walked up to the crawling woman, bent down beside her, and grabbed what was left of her hair, pulling it up till her head rose up to the same height as his and she was looking him in the eye.
"I will be your maid, I can tell you a lot of secrets you don't know about, Jinkins family would come for you, they are a powerful family you don't want to offend, with my help we can convince them that it was Diana who killed Jinkins" Amelia slowly said, phrase by phrase as she stared into Seth's eyes which looked at her with an expression of regret.
"You would have made a nice fuck you know, and maybe a great maid," Seth said as his other hand touched her cheek, his eyes looking at her with pity even as his hand trailed down to her chest.
After years of cultivation, years spent studying and remaining in seclusion just to breakthrough, Amelia had spent her whole life cultivating and marching through untold difficulties just to get to this level of power, but now she was going to die, but she didn't want to die, when she saw Seth stroking her cheeks with pity in her eyes, she knew this was her chance to survive today, but just as she was about to open her mouth and beckon on Seth's perceived kindness to spare her life, she felt a sting of pain in two places on her chest, just where two of Seth's fingers had trailed down and stopped.
With her head basically being held up by her hair which was in Seth's hand, Amelia could not bend down her head to observe her chest, she stared at Seth but all she saw was an intriguing look on his face, and just seconds after feeling the two stings, she felt something flow from Seth's two fingers which were had been inserted into her chest into her.
Amelia had thought she had experienced the worst of suffering and pain, but now Seth was introducing her to a whole new world of pain and torture, as he flooded her body with his qi.
"Wasn't he looking at me with pity, didn't he pity me?" Amelia thought in despair as her body began trembling, struggling to fight against the foreign invasion but failing miserably, Amelia pointlessly swung her hands at Seth, trying to get him off her, but she was just too badly injured and weakened after being drained by Seth and then colliding with Diana's attack, and with the invasion going on within her, she couldn't summon an ounce of qi to mount any form of resistance against Seth.
Every defense Amelia put up against Seth's invading qi crumbled down like a wall of paper, her heart began beating erratically as his qi matched unhindered to it, but before her heart could be attacked, something else within her was hit.
Amelia let out a blood curling scream as he felt Seth's qi pour into her dantian, her dantian spinning furiously trying to force it out, but the next moment it imploded, followed by blood pouring out of all the orifices on Amelia's head as she questioningly looked at the demon who despite torturing her didn't have a trace of happiness on his face, he had a bored look in his eyes like he was waiting for her to die so he could get on with other important things.
"Your actions led to me loosing something very important to me, consider this your own share of the punishment," Seth said when he saw Amelia's gaze, and then he watched the light slowly fade from her eyes as she died, probably having a ton of unanswered questions on her mind.
"I could do with a nice fuck about now" what do you think Alexia," Seth asked and he began walking away from the dead body behind him.
"That would be nice, but now is not the time to think of that, right now you should get somewhere safe and get a ton of rest" Alexia's voice sounded in Seth's head, but he didn't see her appear.
"Aren't you coming out?" Seth questioned her odd behavior.
"I don't feel like it" she blandly replied.
"Okay, " Seth said with a disappointed groan, he had never seen a battleship, and had been fascinated at the thought of seeing one, but oh well, he could always storm an organization sometime and demand to see one.
"Where are we going" a voice asked in Seth's head,
"Ukota town," Seth said, wandering how the distressed pet he had left there was faring.
