"Finally some results" Seth muttered, at first he had been tentatively probing whatever presence was in the glass, but just right now he had decided to go all out, flushing the glass with his qi, and without the slightest resistance, the presence in the glass opened itself to Seth, and now he was on fire.
Blue flames burning all around his body, he could feel a rush of strength being added to his, reminding him of the time when he had wielded Raijin.
"How" A trembling voice spoke out, reminding Seth that he wasn't alone, and when he looked up, he found himself almost face to face with a weeping Ella.
"Did you kill him?" she asked.
"No," Seth said, guessing she was referring to the very presence whom he had likely just conquered or subdued he wasn't sure.
"Please hand him back" Ella begged," I'll do anything you ask of me" she pleaded.
"You know what I want, do you have it?" Seth asked.
"No," Ella said shaking her head, I wasn't lying" I really don't know anything about soul fruit".
"Well while you were sleeping, Minuha here did mention that your father might have an idea about it," Seth said, waiting for a reply from Ella but instead the woman seemed to freeze up at the mention of her father.
"My father might have it, but he won't give you, he despises invaders," she said.
"Not even in exchange for your life or this necklace," Seth said waving the necklace in front of Ella, this action of his making the princess go mum.
"We'll talk more about this later," Seth said, "For now you should put on some clothes and finally lead us out of here".
Hearing Seth's words seemed to remind Ella that all this while she had been naked in front of Seth, her pant and bra the only thing preserving the smallest of her dignity, but instead of immediately going and putting on some clothes, she instead asked Seth,
"My necklace".
Seth couldn't help but let out a sigh at how attached the woman was to her necklace, and the next second, the blue flames around him increased in intensity before dying off, and then Seth showed her the necklace before putting it in his pocket.
"You're a very determined and stubborn woman, if I give you this necklace you'll be more than able to break the seal I placed on you and maybe even more, so giving it to you is totally out of the question".
"But you said if I danced well you'll give it to me" she pointed out, pushing away the robe that Minuha who had walked over was trying to place on her.
"I did and we all saw your performance hitch was far from satisfactory".
"Then I'll dance again" Ella insisted, her eyes once again going teary.
"I'm no longer interested, "Seth said, but his words were the last straw as the dam was once again released.
"Please, please I'll be a good girl, I promise I won't attack you again, I'll listen to anything you say" Ella began saying her glassy tears flowing down her cheeks and drawing pity from everyone present.
Even though this was the first time, she was crying, Seth still found it quite weird how Ella who was once calm and unshaken by anything had now turned into a crybaby, and while such a thing would have been enough to move most men, Seth wasn't most men, not to mention that he had to deal with a tearful Alice most of the time, to him right now Ela was just being annoying.
"Fine" Seth said, reaching into his pockets to pull out the necklace, but before his hand could come out Irene appeared beside him, her hand firmly holding his arm in place.
"You can't give it back to her, you have no idea what she is capable of if she gets back her fire," Irene said.
"Ella mentioned that when you were questioned you spoke about looking for an item that could heal the soul, is this true," Seth asked looking at Irene who was just beside him.
"Yes," she said," and I know how to find it".
"She's lying, she doesn't know anything," Ella said with pursed lips, pointing her finger at Irene.
"it was all a lie to get you to come down here, I noticed that you don't have a soul sense, so I and Irene have been communicating all this while without your consent" Ella shouted, rushing to Seth's side and grabbing his free left arm, looking up at him pleadingly.
"She's lying, I do how to find it" Irene defended herself, angrily looking at Ella.
Seeing Irene's angry gaze, Ella moved behind Seth, seeming to be intimidated by Irene's angry gaze, but then not up to a second later she shoved her head out from Seth's back and spoke once more,
"I'm not lying, remember back when I first captured you in the seal, why do you think I rescued her from inside of it, why do think she was so calm when I pulled her out, it's because I already informed her beforehand," Ella said,
" do you deny it" she rapidly asked.
Unfortunately for Irene, what Ella had just said was the truth, and despite the woman's calmness, she could help but be taken aback when Ella hit her with the question so fast.
Two bickering women, each of them trying to convince him that the other was a liar, and right now Seth was left at an impasse as he wasn't exactly sure which woman to believe.
"Would be more interesting if they were arguing over who got to suck your cock first, why aren't you already fucking these women?" Alice asked, her form coming out and floating in front of Seth as she observed the women present.
"I'm trying to be a lot more focused, I only plan on fucking Irene," Seth said, ignoring the squabbling women beside him.
"Okay, but is it safe for them to be that close to you seeing as you trust none of them?".
"No," Seth said, and immediately he told Alice these words, his qi spiked up, Seth giving the women a few seconds to defend themselves with their qi before his qi blasted out, sending both women away from him.
"So do you have any idea which of them is lying," Seth asked Alice.
