BXBX NOVEL Chapter 384 A Flock And A Shot
A man named Polior, a powerful citizen of some lower world who got to Ashad and decided to make it his home.
While Polior\'s presence could have been ignored, his constant jostling around and attacking of fellow cultivators who got into Ashad had put him on Roushi\'s radar.
With Ahsad never being designed to be a paradise, though Roushi was long aware of his misgivings, he had let him do as he wished after all he wasn\'t the only one, but as time went on, it would seem Polior had begun overreaching his hand.
From building a base to slowly recruiting cultivators and now declaring a region of Ashad as his territory.
In the beginning, his actions could be seen as a sort of obstacle for Ashad\'s regular visitors, but now he was impeding the workflow of the dungeon and was no longer needed.
Seth\'s Mission was to kill the man and three of his subordinates who acted as his next in command.
"Mike, Nasule, …."
With the compass in hand, Seth was going over the information that rose from it like a screen, checking his targets, but as he read the names of his Polior\'s confidants, he quickly got bored and skipped them.
Once more looking over Polior\'s information, Seth made sure he was moving in the right direction, matching the thorny foliage around him with the markings on the hovering map that the compass had popped out.
When Aimy had been explaining to Seth how the compass worked, Seth had been quite surprised at the item\'s ability to produce a screen, wondering if some technology had been implemented, but after a lookover, he quickly figured out that everything was seal-powered.
Though to a seal illiterate the hovering screen which the compass created might look magical and unbelievable, to Kruxe it was a rather basic stuff, one whose only complication was that all it needed was a thought to be activated.
With the compass in hand and a map to guide him, Seth made a beeline for his target.
Though he had been unable to achieve his initial plans with Rias, Seth wasn\'t too disappointed as in the end he had gotten to make a slave out of her and gotten his hands on a generous supply of immortal qi stones.
Though Seth itched to sit and finally absorb the appropriate qi for his cultivation, he held himself back, wanting to first put an end to his target and leave Ashad first.
Wanting to build a force, Polior had built his stronghold quite far from administrative eyes, and so Seth was forced to spend an hour speeding through the mysterious land that was Ashad.
While he didn\'t have time to explore every interesting thing he came across, he had no problems dealing with and storing away the dozens of monsters he came across.
Irrespective of their rank, all it took was a second for Seth to have the beast dead and moving into his space ring.
With his steady pace, it was only a matter of time before Seth was staring at a small mountain sitting on a piece of ground which was so black that one would think it was contaminated.
Seth observed the various holes on the mountain that had red light pouring out of them, and then he looked at the various men that walked in a circular perimeter around it.
With the evening setting in, Seth easily concluded the red light pouring out of the mountain to be light from lit lanterns.
As Seth watched the mountain, his eyes couldn\'t help but stray to an uncompleted building to the right of the mountain.
Though the building was far from complete, not even having walls on all sides, its rather large foundation was telling enough of how grand it was going to be when completed and Seth could already figure out what the building was.
"Ballsy, he wants to build himself a mansion for himself here in Ashad."
Though Seth was quite impressed by Polior\'s ambitiousness, he couldn\'t help but wonder how the man planned to deal with the dungeon\'s unpredictable nature, what would he do if he woke up one morning and found a bunch of monsters began spawning just beside his mansion?
Not being much of a materialistic person, Seth thought it better to have just stayed in the mountain and used it as a base of operation, after all, with the qi that was embedded in it, if he added seals, he could only salivate on how much of an impenetrable base the mountain would become.
"Perhaps I should kill him and take over his force."
Moving closer to the base once more, Seth played around with the thought of taking over Polior\'s operation, and after some seconds he gave it up.
Not minding how the idea was only born due to Seth being interested in what it would feel like to live in the dungeon, the fact that such a plan would only hamper his growth made it a big no for Seth, though the easier accessibility to Rias did make for a big temptation.
With his desire-born plan cancelled, Seth focused on the path before him and watched as a pair of men dressed in an assortment of red, black and white close passed him by, none of them the wiser of his presence.
A bit of drawing and with his soulsense, hiding from the cultivators was a rather basic thing for Seth, though it was only temporary.
Having paused not too far from the mountain, it didn\'t take Seth long to be a few steps from the mountain, and when he raised his right hand, his index finger pointing straight at the mountain he dropped his concealment.
Though no qi spilt from Seth, the powerful qi that erupted and began amassing at the tip of his finger drew the attention of every cultivator in the vicinity, especially the two he had casually sneaked past.
After observing his target\'s base of operation and figuring that they were all in one place, Seth decided that this was the best way to deal with the mission.
At the moment, he had no interest in moving around brawling with the Polior\'s subordinates so he thought it better to just kill them all at once.
While people killed two or three birds with a single shot, Seth killed the entire flock with a single shot.
"You, what are you doing." Seth heard a voice not too far off shout out and then a spike of qi rise from that direction.
Paying it no mind, Seth focused on the finger bomb as he had decided to call it that was forming at the tip of his finger.
While darkness rose off the ground and went binding and killing all the idiots that thought to kill or apprehend him, Seth quickly had a huge ball of qi spiralling in front of him, and then without hesitation, he released it.
With the huge size of qi, one would think Seth\'s attack would move slowly, but they would be totally wrong because when Seth released it, all that could be seen was a flash.
In no time, the attack hit the mountain, the sound of rock being ground sounding for some seconds and then a huge explosion soon followed after.
"That was a rather weak seal," Seth thought in reference to the seal that had only barely popped on the mountain before being destroyed by his attack.
"Now for the big guy" Seth grumbled, after all, there was no way a mass attack would easily end a man who was capable of making level 9 cultivators from several worlds follow him.
