Chapter 480 Order And Darkness

Chapter 480 Order And Darkness

For multiple kilometres, the sky was dark, and while this was enough to scare and send multiple citizens of Earth into panic, the scariest sight was yet to come. Though they were multiple kilometers from the battle site of Seth and Tera, some people were made to bear witness to the very sky coughing out darkness like it was water.

For the far weaker cultivators, they felt that the world was coming to an end, and it was going to happen by being drowned in darkness, while for the stronger cultivators, their bodies shuddered as the well-informed ones wondered which overseers were battling. While the world was thrown into distress, the cause of this panic was lazily staring at his latest handiwork and getting addicted to the kind of power he had just unleashed.

"Night burial, an awesome name, but the amount of qi needed for it is just absurd, not that I'm surprised though."

Some time ago, Seth had been able to create several towering walls with his darkness when he was fighting Minuha, and he hadn't even sweated it. This time Seth was actively boosting his new technique with his qi, and though he calmly stood and watched it, he couldn't help but wince internally as he watched his dantian be emptied by more than half.

"Who would have thought a lower-ranked cultivator would make me begin worrying about my qi consumption?" Seth began thinking, but then he suddenly frowned and looked up, staring at where Tera was. By this time, the sky had stopped vomiting darkness, but that didn't mean it cleared up. With the sky still dark, Seth now stood on a sea of darkness, the land, trees, and unfortunate creatures that had been hanging around all now being buried in his dark sea.

By default, Tera should be deep undersea by now, thoroughly bound by his darkness, but it seemed the new presence was being more of an annoyance than he anticipated. All around Seth was darkness; it was like his world, but then, unfortunately for him, his world began trembling, huge ripples spreading all throughout the sea of darkness he was on, and then right in the area where Tera was buried, the sea of darkness broke apart with a blast, and Tera's form, untouched and unharmed, rose up in the air.

"Seth, be careful," Alexia suddenly said out of nowhere and then kept mum. Seth would have liked to ask her why the sudden warning, but he was more occupied with the red-haired woman before him.

"Not that I'm not happy to see you, but why are you here?" Seth asked with a grin, his eyes wasting no time quickly moving to the red-haired woman's cleavage, pleased with her ample size. This time, he was even more pleased considering she wore a red dress that was tight enough to let her wide, well-curved hips show. Despite being ogled by Seth like she were a meal, the woman showed no sign of discomfort and she kept her expression cold and then, looking down at the darkness which she had no qualms with standing atop, she spoke.

"Disgusting. Though what else should I expect from a disgusting man like you."

Despite the woman's expression being cold, her words were toxic and piercing, and Seth couldn't help but talk back.

"Hey, I get you are more of a red woman, but don't go talking down on the black."

Perfectly ignoring Seth's words, the woman spoke.

"Seth, disperse the filthy darkness of yours and then surrender. The guardians would be taking you; you've caused enough problems."

"Huh," Seth, who had still been fooling around, said when the last of the woman's words reached his ears, the content not sitting right with him.

"You'll surrender yourself, or I'll make you."

"Rose, what are you doing?"

When the pair had blasted out from his sea of darkness with Tera going up in the air and her saviour standing on his sea of darkness, Seth had been amused, but then his amusement quickly turned to surprise when he discovered that it was Rose.

Other than Rose's qi, which, to his surprise, was completely different, Seth found Rose to look just the same as before, her cold and uncaring expression still put on display.

Seeing the woman who one could say was responsible for where he was today, every ounce of violence in Seth was quick to flee, and he quickly began working out a new plan for how to get Tera.

As surprising as Rose's visit was, without much thought, Seth took her as an ally and figured her job here was to be a killjoy, as she usually is. But then her next words began sending alert signals in his brain.

Seth wanted to think that he had heard wrong or that his body was thinking too much, but as he heard the last of Rose's words and then saw her emotionless eyes, he knew something was wrong.

"Ehh, Alice, do you have any idea what is going on?" n-.O-(V-/e)/l./B((1((n

"Run," Alice said, "she's bad news."

"Why? Rose was never like this. What happened to her?"

"Hey, I've been with you all this while. How am I supposed to know?" Alice argued from within.

"Then how were you able to sense that something was wrong with her?" Seth asked, his eyes narrowed as he began feeling something was being hidden from him.

It had been some time since Seth thought about Alice's history. Because the woman had decided to sacrifice for him, he had easily accepted the many holes in the story of her existence, but now those questions couldn't help but begin popping in his head.

Though Seth accepted that in some twisted abnormal way, Alice loved him, that still didn't stop him from suspecting that he was being manipulated.

Seth was keen and waiting for Alice's reply when Rose's next words took his attention once more.

"Tera, go capture him," Rose said, but Seth was having none of that.

"Yeah, that's not happening. No one is taking me prisoner, and Rose,

the both of us need to have a serious chat."

"We can talk, Seth, but that is after you have obeyed my order. I made you, Seth. I can also break you."
