Chapter 164 New Cell

Will Seth rape her? No, will he kill her? Yes, but did that mean he would foolishly kill off his only source of knowledge on the soul fruit? No.

When Seth had said her death wouldn't be quick, he hadn't been joking, he planned to torture the woman tile she spilled everything she knew and then keep her a little bit longer to get some confirmation on her words before ending her.

"You said you'll let me go when I find what am looking for, but how do I know you won't stall my search or lock me up somewhere so I would remain with you for a long time or forever," Irene asked.

"Because other than when you're pleasing me, you'll be the one pushing our pace as I will accompany you on your search," Seth said.

Hearing Seth's reply, Irene closed her eyes in thoughts, for several seconds, Seth calmly waiting for her reply, while he studied the layout of the drawing around the cell and the one which extended out of it and into the dungeon passageway, his enlightening sphere coming active to help him understand.

"As long as you don't put a collar to my neck, then I agree to your deal," Irene said.

Seth turned around and faced Ella, the young woman sending him a smile as Gastrol move towards the cage, taking out a key and unlocking it.

When the door opened, Irene gracefully walked out of her cell and stood beside Gastrol, the man pulling out another key and using it to open Irene's collar.

When the collar was taken off her neck, the woman couldn't help but rub her hands on her neck, but then she weirdly paused for a few seconds before continuing with massaging her neck.

After soothing her neck, Irene walked up to Seth and when she reached beside him, she bowed to him, the word" Thank you "leaving her mouth as she rose.

"We can leave," Seth said, after nodding in recognition of Irene's bow.

"Okay," Ella said and began walking out, the lot of them moving out in the same order they had come in, only that this time there was an addition of Irene behind Seth.

The journey to Irene's cell after going underground hadn't taken longer than 10 minutes, but as of now Seth was sure it was already more than 20 minutes since they had moved to exit the dungeon, it seem Ella didn't plan on just quietly submitting to him.

A few minutes later and the ground began trembling, a powerful wave of qi could be felt moving beneath them, and then later 10 red bars rose out of the ground, both in front and behind the group rising at lightning speed till they reached the ceiling of the passageway.

With the latest additions to the passageway, the group of 5 now found themselves locked in a cell, a long tall cell.

After the bars appeared, the trembling stopped and silence descended all around them, no one making a move, with Seth noticing that the people ahead of Dilise had frozen all of a sudden, their forms not making the slightest movements.

The next second, the bright lights which lit up the passageway went off, the passageway almost descending into complete darkness if not for the light bleeding off the bars and the red light coming from the drawings on the wall.

"What's wrong with them," Seth asked Dilise who was vigilantly looking around, the woman not seeming to have noticed the strangest of the people ahead of her.

Dilise hearing Seth's question moved forward and reached out to grab a hold of Gastrol, but when her hands came in contact with him, it passed through like he was just a mirage, Gastrol and Ella's forms both fading away almost immediately.

The new development left Dilise stunned, and Seth blinking his eyes, but Irene maintained her usual composure.

Dilise immediately ran forward, moving to the red bar which locked them up and when she arrived, she immediately charged her qi, a round ball of energy appearing in her hands which she smashed into the bars.

An explosion resulted from the clash between Dilise's attack and the bar, the recoil pushing Dilise some steps back, but when the waves from the attack died off, the eyes of the occupant of the new cell were welcomed to an undamaged cell.

While all this was happening, Seth was lamenting at how he was about to use up his entire enlightenment sphere, but he was brought out of his grieving when Irene suddenly raised her hand up in surrender position and began walking towards the bar ahead of them, but just before she could reach it, a sudden darkness which dimed out the lights swallowed both her and Dilise, the darkness going as fast as it had come, leaving Seth just alone in the cell.

A few seconds after the darkness had appeared, Seth heard the sound of something dropping come from ahead of him, the bodies of Dilise and Irene falling to the ground just outside the bars, and the figures of Ella and Gastrol appearing behind them a second later.

With a sigh leaving his lips, Seth walked towards them, stopping just at the bar, watching Ella quietly allow the collar which had been taken off her neck to be put back on.

"You won't mock me," Seth asked, turning to Ella who was just silently staring at him.

"There is nothing for me to boast about, I still grieve for the soldiers whom you killed, and I will make sure you pay for your crimes," Ella said, the firmness in her tone letting Seth know that she wasn't going to go easy on him if she had her way.

"Irene I thought we had an agreement," Seth asked looking betrayed.

"Our agreement was that you free me, and looking at the current situation, you didn't keep up your end of the deal," Irene said.

"Guess your right, but that still doesn't explain you allowing yourself to be collared up," Seth said, but Irene's only reply was to turn and look at Ella, the fear and wariness in her eyes more than enough of an answer for Seth.
