With a look of determination, and all traces of reluctance to keep on fighting wiped from his face, Seth raced towards the approaching beast prepared to die when he suddenly found himself off the ground and floating in the air.

Seth was surprised at his current position and looked towards the presence next to him, a beautiful red-headed woman floating just right next to him, while the lightning surrounding him seemed to avoid the area around her, with the purple wolf standing behind him and snarling at her.

“Fine you’ve proven your point, let go of the Raiju’s lightning, it’s killing you,” Rose said as she placed the floating Seth on the ground.

Seth didn’t know who Raiju was, but he could understand the letting go of lightning part and he couldn’t agree more.

Without any further delay, the purple lightning and the image of the wolf fizzled out and Seth dropped to the ground, lying with his back to the floor.

Seth stared at the sky, and for the first time, a little bit of regret at foolishly fighting against mama Slowly popped into his mind.

Seth didn’t have the qi to fund the attacks or moves he had used during the fight, what actually happened was that Seth reached into Eleusis and summoned the qi signature he had felt from the wolf he had seen above the thunderstorm, and it had been the wolf who supplied the power for the lightning, and all Seth had to do was control the power.

With such a power at his disposal, Seth had been able to fight and injure mama slowly, but this came at the price of the sphere within his mind, right now when he looked into his mind, all he saw was a slowly blinking dot of light, and if he was right, then all the pain suppressed by the lightning should be hitting his mind right about now.

Just as Seth thought this, a terrifying pain hit him, but unfortunately, he was wrong about what would be affected by the pain.

Seth could barely keep himself conscious when powerful spasms began wrecking his body, his veins protruded out of his arms and legs and he couldn’t stop himself from coughing out blood.

Seth’s body felt like hell and he could feel that there was more to come, he was currently trying his best to not scream out and keep conscious when he saw Rose kneel beside him and place her hand on his chest.

Seth felt a warm energy enter his body and immediately he felt the pain in his body gradually lessen till it vanished, his spasms fizzled out along with the protruding veins on his arms and legs, and then he felt the warm energy flow to his head bringing with it a sense of comfort and sleep which he resisted.

“You should go to sleep, your mind has been seriously injured due to your recklessness”

“I’m fine” Seth replied.

“it is for your benefit”

“I’m fine” was still Seth’s reply,

Rose had half a mind to just forcefully put him to sleep, but knowing him he would try to fight back even when he knew it was futile and she didn’t want to put any more strain on his already damaged mind.

For the first time, Seth could see a change in her expression as one of her eyebrows tightened in annoyance but he ignored her and looked at the beast which was just standing behind them.

He and this beast had been scheduled to collide before Rose thankfully stopped him, and with her around he had taken his mind off the beast and focused on himself, but now he decided to check on its current state.

He could see the rank 8 beast affectionately cawing at Slowly who was currently sitting on its back.

“Why isn’t it attacking me?”

“Because I told it not to”

“Your way stronger than back at dunkhel forest, “Seth said probingly, but Rose didn’t take the bait.

“It was a compliment, you could have at least said thank you,” Seth said, but the woman still didn’t reply to him, instead she took her hands off his chest.

“Let’s go”, Rose said and began turning around, but Seth stopped her.𝐎𝑣𝐥xt.𝒸𝑜𝐦

“Wait, can you help me talk with Slowly one last time”

“Who’s Slowly,” she asked as she turned back to him,

“The one that’s sneering at me from its mother’s back,” Seth said while pointing up

Rose looked up at the little bird, well little in comparison to her mother that is,

“What do you want to do?” she asked

“It served as my mount for some time, I want to reward it”

Rose looked at his innocent face with a raised eyebrow for a few seconds before looking up at the beasts.

“screeeeeeech.”

He heard the rank 8 beast scream for some seconds before suddenly quieting down, and then shortly after, Slowly flew down from her back.

When it landed, its feathers stood on end as it stared at Seth with anger and caution.

“At least you realize, that your master shouldn’t be trifled with” boasted Seth with a proud smile

“screeeeeech” Slowly screamed out in reply.

“Come forward your master wants to reward you, this reward will make you stronger for when next I find you”.

After saying these words, he saw Slowly cock its head sidewards and then turned to face Rose.

Rose didn’t have the bloodline of beasts, so she was definitely using a different method to subdue them, he tried to find out how by checking with his soulsense, but he found nothing, so he merely shook off the thought and looked at the wary Slowly.

After staring at Rose for some seconds it slowly began moving towards him, a step at a time.

“Do anything untoward to him and I would make you regret” He heard Rose say and for the first time he actually felt a sense of dread from her directed at him.

“She’s a he,” Seth asked looking at Slowly incredulously while ignoring Rose’s threat.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were a he”

“screeeeeeeech” was Slowly reply which he couldn’t understand,

“Oh, so that’s why,” said with a chuckle and then stretched out his palm to Slowly.

Slowly looked at his palm, but getting his intention, it placed its gigantic beak against his palm, the temptation of getting stronger enabling it to suppress its fear and trust this fearsome man.

With a smile, Seth reached into his mind and was welcomed by a different tragic sight, where the blinking dot of light had once been, there now existed a dim dot of light, he didn’t know what that meant, but he would figure it out later.

He moved to another section of his mind and there he could see a spark of white light just hovering there, he had gotten it for Slowly during his first entry in Eleusis but had never had the chance to use it, and now he decided he might as well give it to him, so with a deep breath and once again torturing his mind, he pulled on it and sent it through his hand and into Slowly.

Immediately it entered him, Slowly pulled back his head, screamed at Seth, and backpedaled in fright before taking to the air and moving to its mother’s back, while mama Slowly seeing her kid being frightened, raised her wings with a scream, prepared to fight, but Rose once again looked up at it and it quieted down, she screamed at Seth on last time and then flapped her humongous wings and took to the sky.

Seth could feel himself about to be blown off by the winds from her takeoff, but Rose’s qi surrounded him and blocked the powerful winds from hitting him.

“I really need to change the dynamic of our relationship,” Seth said out loud, but Rose ignored him and began walking away while he stood behind pouting at Rose’s choice of clothes which prevented him from enjoying the sight of a swaying ass.

“So where are we going,” Seth asked,

“Moroc city” she replied.

The reply left Seth with a stunned expression.

“huh, you came all the way here just to take me back to Moroc city, why?”

“The School has an assignment for you but hasn’t been able to contact you so I decided to find you, myself”

“Hmm so let me get this straight, the school needed me and you a being of immense power decided to cross over half the federation to come and find me.

Miss Gibson, if you like me, just say so, one shouldn’t hide their affection, all it causes is unwarranted pain to the heart” Seth said, but she didn’t reply him.
