Strength wise, Seth would put the two armored men he had just fought to be at Adriana's level, but the laxness they had just displayed had him thinking if they were really Kaiser level cultivators,
"Or perhaps they had just been too conceited in their strength," Seth thought as he began his climb back up the hill.
Earlier, he had been falling so he hadn't really had a good look, but as he ran up the hill, Seth almost thought he was going up the wall, the extreme steepness of the hill would explain why he had easily fallen straight down to its bottom just from a casual throw.
When Seth reached the top of the hill, he could not help looking back and observing its extremely steep side, and he couldn't help but feel like the hill had been slashed into two by a weapon, with the other half getting destroyed.
"Guess there would be interesting opponents here," Seth thought as he began making his way back to where he had left the rabbit woman.
A few seconds of dashing through the forest and Seth arrived at her last seen location to find no one, the thought that the rabbit woman had run off had Seth internally lamenting for a while before he walked to a particular spot scorched spot stained with blood and sniffed the air.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"let the hunt begin" Seth ironically thought with a chuckle and jogged off, he would have thought the rabbit woman would flee away from the area of intense combat, but instead the current direction he was taking would lead him to the area where he could hear and feel the most intense fighting, the spot with the most powerful cultivators.
As Seth moved, his eyes scanned his surroundings, keeping in mind that the trees around him were around three times the thickness of those on Earth, and he could feel a stronger qi within them.
This little information alluded to the possibility that this place wherever he was might have been exposed to qi for a much longer time than the earth, which would mean that he was likely in a far more advanced place.
It had just been some minutes into his jog when Seth suddenly stopped, he stared ahead in silence, and seconds later another armored man came bursting out of the forest, his armor same as those worn in medieval times, and his was gold in color, and having a red cape which possessed the drawing of what should be an eagle's head.
The caped guy wore no helmet so Seth was able to see his dark brown hair which ended just above his hard eyes, with the thick but well cut beard on his chin signifying his status as an old man, well old in a sense of appearance.
The man must have probably expected someone was ahead because when he saw Seth, there was no change in his expression as despite shifting his gaze to Seth he kept on running, his plan was probably to closely watch Seth as he passed by, and he would have uneventfully passed by if Seth hadn't caught sight of a woman with long fluffy ears amongst his pursuers.
Other than his dressing, Seth had no other interest in the armored man, but when he saw his new pet vehemently chasing after said man, black automatically appeared in his hand and he swung it, a long black slash of lighting bursting out of it and heading towards his just arrived guests.
Both the armored man and his closest pursuers on seeing Seth's attack were forced to hastily put up a defense while those at the back had time to jump into the air and out of its way, the rabbit woman being one of them.
The power behind Seth's attack had a dozen trees blowing up, but other than being pushed backward, no one got seriously hurt, but this fact didn't bother Seth.
At that moment, Seth had his aura released, the power behind making everyone wary of attacking him, creating a three-way standoff between Seth, the cape guy, and the pursuers.
"What are you doing running around, instead of waiting for your master," Seth said, looking at the rabbit woman, but she didn't reply to him, just staring at him with a glare.
Noticing her current emotions, the cheerful smile on Seth's face faded as he said,
"Is that how to talk to your master, are you forgetting that you are now my pet?" he asked, but before Seth could get a reply, a loud almost heroic voice sounded,
"Who are you, Aimy is this the man you told us about?".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOther than the rabbit woman who it seems is called Aimy, Seth hadn't really paid attention to the rest of the pursuers, but now that one of them had disturbed him, his attention shifted to the other three pursuers.
A huge well-built bare-chested man wielding a great sword in his right hand, the scars visible on his body telling the stories of several battles fought, A handsome young man, his red hair all slicked back and wielding a long sword, the young man a familiar face as Seth had seen him on one of the benches back at the church, and finally to his surprise, the third person was one of those blue skin people, but unfortunately it wasn't one of the two women he had seen at the church, but some tight face looking youngster who couldn't keep his head from looking up.
The young man with a long sword was the one who had spoken, and if Seth wasn't wrong he was looking at some wannabe hero type character or genius, the threatening aura which came off him had Seth's body sending out weak alarms having him raise an eye at the man in interest.
"He's the one," Aimy said in a grieved tone," her words for some reason lighting up the young man's eyes in fierce determination.
"Should I take this as you rebelling against me?" Seth asked with a sigh.
"Shut up" a voice immediately sounded, but surprisingly it wasn't from Aimy but from the heroic young man "I don't know what you think you're doing, but she's not your pet, now leave or I'll make you".
Seth was taken aback by the man's words, but a reply to the man appeared almost seamlessly "I guess you won't be leaving here alive then" Seth said with a sigh, his plans for Aimy all going down the drain
"Grey what about him, we can't just let him escape," the bare chested man said when he saw Grey begin walking towards Seth.
"We've already injured him enough, you guys can.." grey was saying before Seth cut him off, "forget about the cape guy, all of you come at me," he said and the next moment was gone from his spot.
