Thankfully, the floors of the passageway were paved, so despite Seth's outburst, the effect was an airborne body, a stumbling body, and the atmosphere getting slightly dusty.
From what Seth could sense, Irene would be in the 3rd Kaiser level rank, so it was easier for her to keep herself on her feet, while Ella whom he had sent airborne was at the general level, this explaining a little why she was obsessed with getting back her necklace.
"Unsurprisingly, Minuha and Dilise ran over to check on Ella's downed form while Irene who had easily regained her footing stood staring at Seth with a not too happy expression, but Seth paid her no heed as his attention right now was focused on Alexia.
"For the most part, the princess is lying, and I hope I don't have to tell you about the one truth she spoke of?" Alexia asked, and seeing Seth nod, she continued.
"As for Irene, I believe she does know sothing about the soul fruits, but I wouldn't take all her words to be the truth, just stay wary of her" Alexi advised, but before she could say anymore, both she and Seth's attention were drawn to Ella and Irene.
"Who are you talking to," they both asked at the sa ti, the symtry in their speech stunning even them as they looked at one another before turning back to Seth.
"God" Seth reflexively said, glancing at Ella and then Irene before looking forward.
The random thought that he might one day be questioned on his zoning out or random body movents had crossed Seth's mind, so he had decided to use the reply he had just given both Ell and Irene whenever the situation called for it.
As carefree and uncaring as Seth was, even he recognized the need to keep Alexia a secret, his recklessness had already caused her death, being careful with her was the least he could do to avoid another misfortune from befalling her.
The won's question had surprised both Minuha and Dilisie, but before both won could ask any questions on it, Seth spoke.
"Princess, will you be a dear and lead us out of this maze?"
"First give my necklace and I'll take you out" Ella battered, allowing Minuha to dress her up as she stared at Seth.
"Do you really think I can't get out of here?"
"Yes, you may have destroyed the seal, but it still doesn't change the fact that you're trapped underground in a maze that you can't navigate out of.
I understand that you don't trust , so why don't we both sign an agreent" Ella said, taking out a paper, one that had him rembering Alia and also had him taking a step back as mories of his death ca flooding through his mind.
The emptiness, the powerlessness, Alia's weapon completely through his heart, these mories ca rushing in before he was woken from his daze by Irene's voice.
"Seth, are you alright," she asked, her word having him blink his eyes as he noticed everyone carefully staring at him, Ella more so as it seed she was defiantly wondering if she had found a weakness of his.
"Am fine" Seth said, surprised when his words ca out a bit croaked, a sudden dryness suddenly appearing in his throat.
Unlike other normal people, Seth had hardly ever thought of his death or got nightmares about them, so he was quite surprised to find out that he had a trauma, albeit one which seem to only be set off by those contract papers.
"Give it to ," Seth said, his voice more normal as he wetted his throat with his saliva.
Ella hearing Seth's words walked up to him on her own, the tear marks which had once adorned her cheek wiped off along with her pitiful expression, now all that was left was a coy smirk on her pretty face.
Whether Ella had actually done her makeup or sothing Seth wasn't sure, his eyes only lingering on her face for so seconds before he took the white paper which she handed to him, the tremble in his hands as he took the paper very noticeable.
"Are you scared of death contracts?" Ella probed as Seth observed the paper she had handed him.
The paper couldn't exactly be described as pure white as a hint of black dots seed to be embedded within it.
"You'll tell your terms, and I'll tell you mine, when we reach an agreent we'll write them down on the paper and then both sign" Ella explained when she saw Seth checking out the paper, her confidence that he will sign the paper reminding him of Alia.
The feeling that Ella would shove her fist through his heart had goosebumps popping all over Seth, but he shook off the feeling and looking up at Ella, he rolled up the paper and placed it in his pocket.
"What are you doing," Ella asked when she saw Seth keep away the paper, but instead of giving her a reply, Seth shoved his hands into his pocket once more, and almost imdiately his body was enshrouded in blue flas.
Ella couldn't help but take a step back, her smiling face once more twisting in anger, but before he could make known her grievances, the fla around Seth increased in intensity, going higher till it touched the sealing and began morphing into a creature.
Two horns on its head and bat-like wings, with what appeared to be bone spikes stretching across its spinal column.
The creature stood on four legs, its body entirely made of Azure flas, and then it let out a roar, one which had everyone except Seth and Ella falling to their knees and holding their poor ears.
"Stop you're hurting him" Ell scread, her eyes once more going teary.
"It's very powerful Seth comnted, what do you think would happen if used its power to destroy my way out of here?" Seth asked, and as if understanding his words, the flaming beast which had been trembling all through let out another roar, but this ti it was looking at Seth.
