"How did he know, how does he know, impossible?" Panic flooded Mira at Seth's words, and just as he turned, she collapsed to the ground, her shocked mind unable to keep her weary body standing.

"What do you want with me?" Mira asked after falling, just after Seth had taken his first step away.

"Nothing, just came here to save you," Seth said, looking at the downed woman. 

Then, without asking for her permission, a wave of darkness rose from the ground and lifted her, the darkness took the shape of clouds and brought her over to Seth.

The absurdity of Seth's words and his seemingly magical moves stunned Mira for some seconds, but quickly she regained herself and pushed herself off the black cloud Seth had created for her.

"Urghhhh," Mira groaned as she fell to the ground, her body screaming at the pain it had been subjected to.

With caution and fear in her eyes, Mira turned her body so she was sitting up and looking at Seth, wanting to keep the man in her vision and when she saw him, she noticed that all he was doing was looking at her.

"You don't want to come," Seth asked.

"No," Mira said, shaking her head and dragging her butt across the ground away from Seth.

"Okay," Seth said, turned and continued his walk away.

Seth's words stunned Mira, and her mouth opened and closed in disbelief.

"Does he actually expect me to believe he just came all the way here to rescue me, and that he wants nothing in return? 

He's just going to leave me unharmed. 

No, this is definitely a trap, it's some kind of trick."

While Mira went about justifying her doubts and paranoia, Seth leisurely strolled towards Blue.

Seth had come here solely to save Mira, nothing else. As for Mira's surprising sealing skills, though it had proven to be a tall roadblock and out of the ordinary, in the end, though he had taken longer than expected, with his enlightenment sphere, he had cracked the seal. 

As someone who had spent days trying to understand that black block he had come across in Ashad, Seth was well-versed with seals that were not of Earth or, worst of all, something from a lower world. 

Mira's ability to upgrade and fortify active skills came from her knowledge of a kind of alien sealing. 

Here on Earth, imbued paint was used to draw seals, but on the rock which Seth had inspected, he found himself staring at drawings made with both visible and invisible ink.

Seth's soul sense could feel a line of qi, but his eyes could see no line. 

In the end, with his enlightenment, Seth had figured out the mystery of the invisible ink, and now nothing was interesting to him about this particular area. 

Though he had no interest in the woman, he had still, after all, come all the way here to save her, and Seth had reasoned it was only sensible to do the saving all the way through. 

But since Mira had decided to refuse his help, there was nothing Seth could do, he could only get going. 

Seth floated onto the back of Blue, paused mid-air, and looked to his left, staring at the touching scene of Jane checking on her captive and seeming to be feeding her some pills. 

Rather than being touched by this caring scene, Seth casually sent his soul sense passing over her. 

Though there was no strong qi fluctuation from Seth, when his soul sense passed over Jane, the woman froze, and with her body trembling, she looked at Seth. 

"I won't remind you to behave a second time," Seth said, his face loose and free. 

While Gudzil looked at the two of them in confusion, wondering what was going on, Jane, who understood Seth, rapidly nodded her head, letting out a sigh of relief and breathing heavily when Seth looked away from her and moved back to sitting atop Blue's head. 

Struggling to regain control of her breathing and keep her body calm, Jane sent out a wave of her spirit sense. 

Another major sense of relief filled her as she got the response she wanted, and then she waited. 

After getting on Blue, both Blue and Gudzil were left wondering why they hadn't begun ascending, yet it was only after a small black snake leapt up from the ground and landed on Jane's hand, a black ring on her finger shining as the snake disappeared, that Seth gave the signal, and Blue flapped its wings. 

As they soared into the sky, Jane's mind was a mess as she wondered if she had done the right thing. 

"I could have killed Mira and dealt the rebels a fatal blow, but if I had done that, Seth would most likely have killed me. 

I'm surprised he didn't even do just that right from the beginning, he's become less violent, but he's still dangerous. 

He came all the way to save the woman, I doubt he would have let me kill her. Or did he come for the rock? Damn, this is all troublesome. 

With the governor dead, this woman is nearly useless. How do I explain this to the president? She's been hysterical the past days about her loss and Dirian's betrayal. 

We were all so positive about the two missions, but now I basically have a useless captive, and Seth has most likely killed off all the soldiers sent to kill Mira. What a disaster," Jane thought. 

"I just want to go home," the lone soldier whispered within. 

Though he hadn't said a word or shown a reaction to it, Seth was aware that it was the sight of Jane that had set the woman into hysteria, making her fill her already-filled mind with stronger thoughts that he was going to kill her or do some other evil stuff to her. 

He could understand the bad blood between them, and he didn't care. As long as he was there, there was going to be no fighting between them. 

"Troublesome woman doesn't even know I saved her life."
