Chapter 76: Back To The Demon Territory (1/2)

Seth stood up and channeled his Mana into his darkness element, making it cover his entire body. He seemed just like one of his Specters of Darkness.

Meiyi was already standing in front of him, watching with curiosity the skills he was showing. She has never seen a dark attribute skill before, so she was entranced by that black fog covering his skin surface.

While she was mesmerized by that skill, Seth put a hand on her shoulder from behind.

”AAAHHH!”

Meiyi was scared by his action. She was intently watching his body, that was right in front of her, but out of nowhere, a hand comes and touches her shoulder from behind. She looked towards the figure that just touched her and saw that it was Seth.

He had ”comboed” his skills, creating the perfect distraction. First, he used his darkness element to cover himself with a black fog, then he created a Specter of Darkness, while at the same time, activating the second stance of his Shadow Walk, to instantly move behind her.

While Meiyi was looking at his Specter of Darkness, he put his hand on her shoulder, almost scaring her to death again.

Meiyi kept looking at him and then at his Specter of Darkness and finally, she realized something.

Her mood sank as a realization dawned upon her. That sudden change on her mood didn't pass unnoticed for Seth. They were Soul Linked and really close right now, so he could feel those changes through the link. Seth was about to ask her what have happened, when he heard her question first.

”Why? Why did someone like you, chose someone like me?” Meiyi asked in a low voice. She believed on his words when he said he was the person he said to be, but only after watching his darkness abilities, did she realize that they were leagues apart. He was practically the heir from a Higher Ground, while she was your everyday common girl.

However, she failed to notice that she was an incredible person. Her beauty alone was leagues ahead of any other of those important and rich ladies, her exquisite features made her be at least on par with Lilian. Her talent was pretty good and on top of it all, she was graceful and sweet.

Seth looked at her, making direct eye contact. He seriously answered her: ”You are wrong. I did not choose you Meiyi.”

”!” Meiyi got surprised by his revelation.

”You were the one who chose me. If it weren't for you opening your heart for me, I would have never met one of the most incredible people of my life. I should be thanking the Gods, to give me the opportunity to have you as my girlfriend, so, never again, think that you aren't worthy of me just because of a useless status.” Seth went forwards and held her close.

Meiyi's heart melt and her mood brightened after hearing his words. She felt fortunate to have a person like him, caring for her.

Seth continued: ”If I could choose, I would rather not be going back to that place. There is a single thing that I care inside that entire territory and if it wasn't for it, I would love to keep making you company.”

”Hm? Just one thing? I bet it must be a woman.” Meiyi said while looking at him with a strange expression. However, she was puzzled, since it meant he didn't have a family.

Seth feigned ignorance on her guess. Inwardly, he was thinking: 'Even you? First it was Lilian, now even Meiyi seems to be developing a sense for that. They keep making keen guesses, what the hell?! Is it the food they're eating that is giving them these hidden skills?'

Seth opted to change the topic, since he learned his lesson to not talk about other girls, while interacting with one.

”Meiyi, I'll be leaving tomorrow morning, so how about going on a date around the city today?”

”Alright, let's go. Where will you take me to?” She asked with a happy smile.

”You can decide about that and you don't need to hold back anything while choosing the place, since I can pay for everything.”

Seth and Meiyi took a tour around the Blazing Phoenix City, visiting the famous places and buying some souvenirs.
