3rd stage solid soldier, this was Seth's cultivation level, with two consecutive victorious battles coupled with a delicious snack, he had crossed several boundaries of cultivation without pause till he was finally at the last stage of soldier level, a step away from becoming a general.
At the peak of the first stage was able to defeat a 2nd stage Kaiser, and now with his current cultivation and strength bubbling within his bones, he had been able to somewhat incapacitate two 3rd stage Kaisers.
Seth's action against Alice's two guards was far from his real strength, and even though he had caught them off-guard, Seth still doubted both women combined were capable of being his match.
Seth listened to Alice's words as she tried to amend the conflict which she had instigated against him, and he was amused by her words.
"Ahhh" Seth yawned out loud, as he stretched his hands, he ignored Alice and walked past her and then began observing the garden which he currently was in.
For a garden, it stretched so far and wide that other than the green hills he could see far in the distance, all that was within his vicinity was a vegetation of different flowers.
Rows upon rows containing different flowers flooded the area, and the only reason Seth still called it a garden was due to the evenly low height of the plants, some meters taller and a few adjustments, and Seth would be complaining that he was in a maze.
Just a glance at the flowers closest to him and Seth couldn't resist the temptation to bend down and have a sniff of the blue flowers just below him, a light sniff, and Seth's nose was washed with a light pleasing but stinging smell, the scent wasn't one to be immersed in for a long time, but it was just perfect for a quick sniff.
'What's its name" Seth asked Alice as he stood up and moved to the pink flowers which were beside the blue flowers but a little far off.
Alice had no idea what was happening as she had no information on Seth loving flowers, but she quickly adjusted to the situation and answered him as she followed behind him.
"Iliubis, a plant harvested from a grade 6 dungeon, it's a very demanding flower to cultivate and is popularly kept near doors due to its refreshing effect when its scent is inhaled in small doses".
"Hmmm" Seth hummed when he heard her words but said nothing, he stopped at the section filled with pink flowers and took a sniff of them, but this time didn't seek Alice's knowledge on the plant.
The pink plant had a very light scent and Seth was forced to bring his head closer to it to get a smell of its light but delicious scent, it wasn't a stretch to say that he felt like having a lick of the flower just because of its smell.
Seth wasn't an enthusiast of flowers and had only checked them out because of how amazed he was at the size of the garden, and now with his curiosity being satisfied, he moved to sit down on the well-cut lawn which made up the ground of the garden when he heard Alice speak.
"Prasitilia, also gotten from a dungeon, but a grade 9 dungeon this time, there are rumors of it being able to stop the aging process in mortals, but its more realistic effect is the ability to give the skin a glow and refreshing scent when mixed with skin products".
"I don't remember asking," Seth said to Alice, but the woman took his rude words in stride and shot back,
"It's a host's duty to satisfy their guest, and for an esteemed guest like you, it's only proper I do my utmost best to make your stay here as enjoyable as possible".
The ability of Alice to quickly change her behavior and humble herself had Seth baffled, one moment she had been proudly and confidently standing before him with her two guards and probably making not so good plans for Seth, but immediately he made a display of his strength, the woman was as docile as a tamed rabbit and seamlessly began sucking up to him.
Sure Seth believed in power conquering all, but you would think a woman who commanded such powerful cultivators would be filled with pride and refuse to submit to him no matter how much her back was pushed against the wall.
Making himself comfortable on the lawn as he sat and stretched his legs, Seth spoke in reply to Alice's earlier words,
"Daring of you to call me a guest in my own garden", he said and continued, "I like this garden and from now am declaring it mine, wouldn't you agree to such a splendid idea?"
"You have excellent taste dear, and nothing short of a garden of such magnificence is worth your possession," Alice said, buttering up to Seth, but within her, she felt nothing but disgust at the fact that she had to succumb before such an impudent child.
"A little bit of Strength and this runt dares to boss me around, and now he's even making me hand over to him my precious garden" Alice wailed internally.
A few seconds of silence descended upon the area as Seth closed his eyes and seemed to be basking in the cool wind that began blowing by, and then all of a sudden he opened his eyes and rubbed the ring on his right hand, Amelia's hand fan appearing in it almost instantly, and giving no warning he swung the innocent looking fan to his left.
Alice watched Seth take out a hand fan, and it wasn't long after the thought of " middle grade weapon" went through her head that she saw Seth wave the fan at the garden, an explosion of qi erupting from around his right hand as he swung the fan and a wide beam shooting out of it and destroying everything in its path.
When the attack was over and the debris which it had kicked up settled, Alice stared in hidden anger and displayed displeasure at the 3-meter wide gorge which Seth had just created in her garden.
"Why did you do that," Alice gritted out, hoping to show Seth her great displeasure and sell it as her current emotions, but Seth's next words sent her mind into turmoil.
"The fact that you're still standing here and talking to me means I missed by a real wide margin, would you be a dear and call them over or should I have another go," Seth said as he looked around seeming to searching for something, but unfortunately couldn't see beyond the wall of flowers which now obstructed his view given his current position, but that was what made this guessing game fun for Seth as he began flexing around his right hand ready to try another swing.
