As Rina was running to meet her mother, Elyra and everyone else were able to see the Elf Queen and the state she was in. She seemed to be in such a feeble condition, that she needed the support of a human in order to keep standing properly.

That brought a bitter feeling for the elves that didn't know Seth, and were witnessing that scene. Their supreme figure was so close to a human... However, no one dared to voice any discontent.

Seth turned his head to look around and noticed that there were some survivors gathering in a certain area, but none of them were near Elyra and the girls from the Glazed Lake Sect.

Rina was the first one to reach Seth and her mother and her hands were already shining with a green color, since she was ready to heal her mother wounds. However, she suddenly noticed some lingering Evergreen Essence on some parts of her skin.

Many doubts emerged inside her head, but Arwen quickly left Seth's support and hugged her. Everything has ended and she just wanted to hug her daughter for a bit.

"Mother?

"

"Rina, your mother promises you that she will bring you to travel later. I'll make sure you visit every place you want and do everything you like.

"

Rina didn't understand anything. She looked towards Seth and saw that he was smiling.

'He must have done something...' She thought inwardly. But what is it, that must be done, to change the Elf Queen...?

Seth left them hugging there and went towards Caizhi and Elyra.

Before Caizhi could say anything, Elyra was already asking him what happened.

"What happened outside? It took you almost two whole days to come back...

"

"Well... It's better for everyone to leave the dungeon and see the situation with their own eyes. Arwen probably going to explain it to the public later, however, I must tell you that this is going to be a huge blow for the entire Elven Kingdom.

"

'Arwen...?' Elyra felt it was strange for Seth to be calling the Elf Queen by her name. But there were so many other important things to do first, that she didn't bother with that.

Seth turned to Caizhi and was about to get intimate with her, but the Eleventh Palace Master suddenly appeared in front of her.

Seth felt that this woman was always trying to cause him some trouble, thus he didn't want to enter in contact with her. But this time, she didn't say anything and just kept staring towards him for some time.

After some seconds thinking, she made a choice that left Caizhi, Jiayi, Ruolan and Xiurong speechless.

"Your name is Seth, right? I am the Eleventh Palace Master of the Glazed Lake Sect; however, you can call me Yushui. As one of the Twelve Palace Masters, I invite you to visit our sect in order to pay a visit to our ancestor.

"

"!!!

"

"Oh?!

"

The girls couldn't believe what they were hearing. For a male to be invited to visit their sect, he must be one of the most important characters in the whole continent. Actually, there has never been an invitation of a male figure in the history of the Glazed Lake.

"I'm honored Miss Yushui is inviting me to visit your sect. Can I know the reason why you are inviting me?

"

"That is something I should not disclose here. If you ever accept my invitation and arrive at our sect, I will then tell you everything. However, I can already tell you that if you're able to accomplish it, we can give you any resource you need or pay you anything you want.

"

"Oh? It must be something important then... Well, I will consider visiting your sect once everything here is over.

"

"Alright. You can ask Caizhi for the location of our sect. I'll take my leave then.

"

The Eleventh Palace Master left, letting Seth and the girls behind. She was the first one to head towards the blue gate, leaving the dungeon and searching for a place to peacefully rest.

"What just happened? Senior Brother Seth, what have you done? It is like our Master turned into another person!

" Jiayi exclaimed.

Ruolan and Xiurong couldn't believe it as well.

"I don't know. Maybe she started to discover my qualities...

"

"Pfft!

" Caizhi covered her laughter with her hands, since she just heard a good joke and almost lost her bearing.

"Oh, come on... You know I am full of good qualities...

" Seth approached Caizhi and started to hug and pinch her.

She tried to evade his pinches, but wasn't able to.

"Alright, alright. I admit it. However, it is impossible for you to move the Eleventh Palace Master like that. It must have been something else.

"

"You're mostly right.

" Seth already knew what might have caught her attention.

The other girls looked at their interaction and felt embarrassment and a little bit of jealousy. Seth and Caizhi seemed to not bother that they were being watched by more than ten people.

After some time, everyone left the dungeon through that blue gate, returning to the Ereinrith city. Seth made sure to scan everyone before letting them pass through the gate. He was trying to see if the corruption had infected anyone, but he knew that it would be highly improbable, since normal practitioners would most probably turn into red crystal powder, if they were infected.

Only those strong enough, would be able to last more time and not end up instantly dying. There was still the possibility of a mutation happening, just like what happened with Allannia. However, she was slowly losing her mind to corrupted desires and her final outcome would be unknown if not for Seth. Maybe she would turn into crystal shards and die too.

After analyzing things until here, Seth started to raise some doubts regarding the corruption. Why those mindless beasts are able to stay alive after being corrupted, but humans and elves almost hundred percent of the times, die? Is it because of their sentience? Or is it because of something else?

That was something he couldn't find the answer for now.

In front of everyone's eyes, there was a destroyed city that was once the proud capital of the Elven Kingdom. The Central Stadium was nothing like what it was before, half of it didn't even exist anymore, while the other half seemed to be ruins from inside the dungeon.

Many other parts of the city turned into a land of destruction that were full of wreckage of buildings and parts of destroyed trees. Everything that happened in this city was cause by a single attack of a Mana Sovereign cultivator.

Allannia's red orbs descended and almost razed an entire city. If their battleground hadn't been in the skies, not even the skeleton of this city would be left behind.

Elyra and the elves that were able to leave he dungeons still alive, watched that scene and couldn't even express their feelings properly. Some of them even knelt down in despair, while others started to cry loudly.

Suddenly, the figures of Thellor, Theod and Ivasir rapidly approached the area. They were notified about people leaving the dungeon and came to see them.

When they arrived, their hearts were finally able to see some hope, since the Elf Queen was alive. She was beside an elf they concluded as being her daughter, even though she was masked.

"Queen!

" The family leaders knelt before her while trembling in excitement.

"Stand up. You've done well in evacuating the city and treating the injured people. What happened wasn't something anyone could have predicted, yet you acted fast in your decisions.

"

"We just did what should have been done, my Queen.

"

"Thellor, gather every single Sect Master and Family Leader here in the central stadium. I will announce some things and explain everything that has happened.

"

"Alright.

" Thellor left quickly to gather everyone.

"Theod, take this.

" The Elf Queen threw him a top-tier spatial ring. It was able to store a lot of things inside and this one particularly, was the one that contained every single resource the Royal Family had accumulated.

"My Queen, this is...

"

"I want you to use your connections and business management skills to rebuild our entire city. Make sure to use every single coin inside that spatial ring.

"

Theod felt a heavy responsibility falling on his shoulders, but inwardly he felt honored and happy.

"I will certainly accomplish that, my Queen.

"

"Ivasir. After you talk with your family youths, I want you to create a new unit squad. This unit is going to be under Elyra's command and you are going to be the second in command. Make sure to only accept reliable people. Actually, make a background check and present it to Elyra before accepting anyone. You can start the preparations immediately, but make sure to come back to hear about what have happened.

"

"Alright. I will be going.

" Ivasir left to accomplish what she had asked.. However, before leaving the stadium he went towards Ilbrien and Finnea and received the sad news that his cousin, Paeris Beihorn, had died while fighting.
