Thoughts of how she could get resources for him, handle his issue with Treuchi, deal with the issue of his lost hand, and most importantly make sure to engrave herself deep into his mind to that point that just a smile from her have him happily cheating on his wife, or better yet why not just become his wife.

Seth's potential stunned Amelia and she was ready to make the greatest gamble, she was presently a 1st stage gas Kaiser cultivator, and while others would envy her, she wanted more but unfortunately for her, with her age of 190, she saw no hope of advancing further in her cultivation.

Excitement filled her heart even when she saw Seth throw the paper at her, and immediately plans on how she would fend against Treuchi began popping into her head, when the state of the contract was registered in her mind.

The unsigned state of the contract shocked her so much so that she could help but be stunned, and then she heard his words,

"Help me kill him and I might just consider making you my maid".

Amelia had known Seth was arrogant, but this was just ridiculous, here she was saving his life, yet he dangled the job opportunity of being his maid like it was a carrot she shouldn't be able to resist.

Geniuses and prodigies were generally known to be arrogant, so his arrogance was something she had easily overlooked, but right now his behavior was just absurd, and she had no intentions of raising a snake that would later bite her in the back, she had decided to humble herself so much and even offer herself on a platter of gold to him, yet he had rejected her,

Amelia was filled with anger and embarrassment from the way Seth had treated her offer that she decided to kill the ungrateful bastard, and so without hesitation, she punched a hole in chest and watched him die.

She had expected to see anger or fear in his eyes as he died, but all she saw was disregard for her actions, he genuinely seemed to be thinking about something else even as he died.

"What a strange guy" Amelia annoyingly thought, easily moving on from thoughts of Seth, she had killed tons of people in her life, now that he was dead there was nothing special about him anymore.

"Well he's dead now Treuchi, so how about we talk about your ice skills" Natasha said.

Treuchi snorted and ignored her, a powerful wind picking up around him as he walked up to Seth, wanting to ensure he was dead and stayed dead, for this boy he wasn't going to trust the analysis of even his own soulsense, he was going to crush his body to paste.

Treuchi was just a few steps away from Seth, when his eyes suddenly narrowed while Natasha neck snapped to look at Seth, with shock on her face.

Immediately Treuchi felt the change in Seth, he didn't waste time on thinking, all he knew was that an live Seth needed to be killed and without a delay he slashed at Seth, the wind around turned to a blade and slashing at Seth's prone body, yet before it could hit, Seth's body was drowned in pitch black qi, and the next moment he was gone.

Feelings of dread passed through their bodies as they both looked at each other and began sweeping their soul sense all around them in vain.

......seconds before Seth died...…..

...…

No matter how dormant it became, he always had an idea on what was happening with its host, and like all his other hosts, he headed down the path of his predecessors, they always failed to control their arrogance,

"Well not like they were meant to control it".

Right now he watched his present host storm a powerhouse he was far from prepared against, and as expected, he lost and now he was going to die, with sigh, the entity began making plans to ignore the world for some time before searching for a new for a new host, but just as itself leaving, the found the bonds linking it to the dead man's soul being weakened, he suddenly found himself back in it, surprise which it hadn't felt in centuries going through it,

"And here I thought I was the most mysterious thing about you"

...

The previous day, both she and Seth had a passionate night and she had confessed her feelings for him, she was not surprised that he didn't love her, but she was glad that he didn't also reject her, but some minutes ago, she had begun feeling uneasy.

She moved around restlessly, and didn't know when she began praying to random deities to protect Seth, she felt an impending doom and moments later, she felt a sharp pain through her heart as tears streamed down her and then she lost consciousness, her soul leaving her body.

........

It had been a week since Seth left and not once had he even rung her up, not like he usually called her, but today she found herself particularly edgy and thinking of Seth, something kept on screaming at her to go to Seth, with her present abilities she was sure she could arrive beside Seth within seconds, so going to him was a piece of cake for her, but she just couldn't put down her pride to go crawling to that bastard.

Remembering the scenes of him banging Leah almost sent her into a fit of rage, she felt like just crushing the damn woman right now, but just before she could snap, she was able to get a semblance of control over herself, and rubbing her hand over the ring on her finger, a prayer bead appeared in her hand.

There was hesitation in her eyes, but she wanted the peace and calm that permeated her soul before the night Seth had saved her life, gritted her teeth, she held the bead with both hands, closed her eyes and began praying.

Seconds into her prayer, a white light appearing from nowhere shined upon her, the huge image of a white clothed priestess wearing a veil with her hands clasped in prayer appearing behind her, and seconds later when the light and the image faded away, she felt a serene peace and calm in her heart, thoughts of Seth, nothing but that of annoyance she should consider putting down.

.....

Somewhere far away, the mother enshrouded in darkness opened her eyes this time and stared, her gaze crossing through boundless realms and worlds till it finally landed on earth, observing of Seth's death, his theatrics in the underworld till his resurrection and without any reaction she closed back her eyes.
