Corrupt Creations

Chapter 95 - Testing Weapons



There wasn't anything out of ordinary with their group. Just seven elves walking in the road towards Seth and the thieves, but the pressure that descended on them almost made the elven thieves kneel down of the floor. 

Their breathing started to get rough, as if they had run a marathon, panting in tiredness. That was the effect that the aura above them produced on their bodies. 

Everyone looked towards the group of elves and the thieves instantly recognized the people that just arrived. 

"Young Master Ivorn! Please spare us!" 

"We didn't do anything!" 

"Ahaha, what a bunch of cowards, they just attack people that are weaker than them." 

A thin and menacing man started to mock the thieves. He was wearing a black leather armor, where his daggers were hanging. His outfit remembered an assassin, since his clothes were designed to enhance his mobility on the field. 

He was the one releasing the mana that was binding Seth and the thieves. 

"It's a pity you are on the wrong place and time. We will have to eliminate the possibility of you talking about what happened here." The thin elf said. 

"You are... Elwin Vivrem!" 

"Elwin Vivrem? The Vivrem's family head youngest brother?" 

The thieves recognized him, since they knew who to mess with and who to not mess with and Elwin Vivrem was a person they would never dare to offend. 

He was known to be a very bloodthirsty assassin, with wild habits of playing with his victims to death with his daggers. His Mana Perception initial-stage cultivation was enough to stand on top of the list of dangerous people in the Irumdell city. 

"Ahaha, so you know about me? Well, that simplifies things a bit. I have a very generous deal for you thieves, I just don't know if you're going to accept it or not. Of course, I can't guarantee your safety if you don't take the deal." Elwin said in a threatening tone. 

"We will! Please tell us." 

"Yes, we will accomplish whatever you want." 

"Very good. Bring me his head and I will let you go." Elwin pointed towards Seth. He was going to use the thieves in order to gauge Seth's strength. There was something bothering him. Seth's reaction to his aura was totally different from the thieves. He didn't seem to be affected in the least by it. 

"Just that?" 

"Yeah, just that." 

"Let's go boys, you heard Mister Elwin." 

The thieves reorganized their group formation, surrounding Seth again. The tension was building up while they kept looking towards their target. 

Seth was waiting for their moves with a nonchalant attitude. He knew one of them would lose his cool and attack him first. 

Just like he thought, one of the six thieves felt anxious and jumped towards him while using a short sword. 

That was the opportunity Seth wanted to test the weapons he bought. A reddish fiery light appeared on his hands as he took an axe out of his spatial ring. He had bought it on the weapon pavilion before and was about to test it's might. 

When the thief saw the axe on his hand he felt a bit of apprehension, but it was clouded by his greed. He tried to flank Seth and cut him from his left side using his short sword, since moving an axe and block an attack like that was a hard thing to do. 

However, Seth didn't think it was hard at all. He made a motion with his axe and the sound of air being cut echoed to the surroundings. The speed that the axe moved was so fast, that none of the thieves were able to perceive it. 

They just saw how their friend was bisected in half. Even his short sword was split into two along with him. Half of his body flew to the distance, vanishing inside the sea of trees. 

"Sigh... Didn't like it, too slow!" Seth said with a rueful expression. The axe was not to his liking. The problem was not that the axe was slow, but it was hard to position as well, making it a flaw on his opinion. 

'Too slow?' The people watching could not believe his words. Other than Elwin, they weren't even able to see his hands moving the axe. They looked towards Seth with a look that was three parts dumbfounded and seven parts with apprehension. 

"You don't need to look at me like that. I didn't like the weapon and that's all. Actually, you can have it." Seth threw the axe towards another thief, that was unfortunate enough to be caught in this mess. 

The axe flew towards him with such velocity, that his reaction speed was too slow to escape it. He couldn't avoid it, being hit right on the chest. The fire attribute axe pierced his chest and exploded, making him rest in pieces. 

The other thieves realized that Seth wasn't an easy opponent at all and they might end the same way as their friends, so they released their cultivation bases in order to take things seriously. They wouldn't be doing things the same dumb way the others did. 

However, it would change nothing, because their weak and puny Qi Gathering realm of cultivation, wouldn't help them at all. 

"What a trash. Pah!" Elwin spat on the floor after they released their cultivation levels. They were nothing but thrash on his eyes. 

"Go!" One of the thieves signaled and they attacked Seth simultaneously. 

A pale green light appeared on Seth's hands and a wind attribute spear appeared there. He thrust forward multiple times with it and pierced a thief after another, creating more than five holes on the chest area of each one of them. 

They were decimated by his attack, not leaving a single chance for them to struggle against him. The difference on their abilities was like the distance between the sky and the earth. 

"Too quick! I don't like it!" 

Seth took the spear in a throwing stance and sent it flying towards Ivorn. A blinding light pierced the vision of guards standing beside Ivorn, and they closed their eyes in desperation. It was the flashy skill the low-level spirit inside that spear, was capable of doing. 

It flew so fast towards Ivorn that it would be better to call it a shooting star instead of a flying spear. Even Young Master Ivorn wouldn't be able to defend against that attack. 

When the spear neared him though, it stopped on the air, right in front of his face. 

"Hehehe, impressive. You were right nephew... He is not a normal individual at all." 

The spear turned its sharp head towards Seth and flew back at him. Elwin used his Mana to stop Seth's attack and send it back. 

Swoosh! 

The spear flew through the air even faster than the time sent it towards Ivorn, aiming for Seth's head. 

However, Seth easily dodged it, moving his head slightly when it was about to pierce him. The spear passed by his side, flying towards the horizon. 

"Guards, go and kill him! It's an order!" Ivorn felt shame for feeling inferior to Seth, since he realized that without his uncle, he would be dead already. He wasn't able to feel or see Seth's last attack at all. 

The five guards took their lances and went forwards to engage against Seth. They released their Qi Transformation initial-stage realm cultivation, putting pressure on Seth. Five different auras spread towards him, as they came rushing to attack. 

Their speed and abilities were leagues ahead of those dead thieves, since they were guards trained by one of the "Nature Roots". Their team work was good too, since just right after the first spear thrust missed Seth, a second one followed up. 

Seth started to dodge their attacks in a quick succession, going backwards a bit each time he moved. However, a spear thrust enhanced with Qi energy, assaulted him just after he dodged an attack. 

The guard smiled thinking he was about to hit his target but a metal hitting metal sound, resounded on his ears and he saw that Seth deflected his spear using a black sword. The sword body was entirely black and was radiating a dark energy. It was a dark element sword he bought before. 

Many attacks started to rain down of him from all sides, but Seth would always parry them with a sword strike. 

The guards looked at one another and nodded their heads. Right after that their Mana was released at the same time and with the same intensity, forming a five-way formation, that had the potential to release five times the primary strength. 

Their bodies glowed with a blue light as they moved with five times their individual speed, making a pierce motion from all sides, sealing Seth's paths. The only downside of this attack is that they were consuming five times the normal quantity of Qi energy. 

Seth saw that they were getting serious and finally decided to test that sword for real. He released a little bit of Mana, making his body move at an incredible speed while slashing towards each of the guards that attacked him. 

His body appeared ten meters ahead of their position as he looked towards the black sword. 

"It is too stable and easy to use, however it lacks the necessary power. I don't like it." 

Thud! 

Five headless bodies hit the ground at the same time, marking the end of five lives.
