Seth felt like he was experiencing a never ending pain, he could feel a foreign force invade his body and ruthlessly ravish it, he totally ignored his surroundings and focused completely on trying to stay conscious.
The next moment he felt his consciousness being pulled by another force within his body, he tried resisting but was barely able to put up a fight as he was pulled away.
When he came to himself, he found that he was in a large mass of what appeared to be water, all he could see was water as far as his sight could reach.
The water was dark red in color and had a viscosity similar to blood, he could only hope it wasn't blood.
He observed himself, and he noticed that he couldn't feel his body.
He had no physical body, it was just his mind that was present at the moment, he couldn't see or feel his surroundings, but somehow he still knew his surroundings and could feel what was happening around him.
He could feel three tyrannical auras a distance away from him, he could sense two of the auras fighting against one and that they were awfully losing to it.
He could sense a familiarity with one of the auras, particularly the one suppressing the other two, and this particular aura felt like him coming across a long lost part of his body that had been cut off.
As he observed all this, his mind became filled with so many questions, when a wave of energy rippled out from the familiar aura and hit him, he immediately had most of his questions answered as the aura spoke to him.
It couldn't be called speaking as he heard no voice, all he knew was that he understood a message being conveyed to him as the waves of energy calmly washed over him.
It could communicate with him, but couldn't communicate with it, and the next instant memories rushed into his head, and then he felt his consciousness leave that space and return to reality followed by a wave of incomprehensible pain many times stronger than what he had been feeling before entering the space.
He couldn't help but scream out and roll on the ground and slammed his head on the ground several times in a bid to alleviate his pain, he felt like his mind was being slashed apart by different swords over and over again.
Cracks began appearing all over his skin as blood spilled out, he could feel his muscles and bones turn to mush as a tornado of qi began forming around him and drilling into his body. Gradually a cocoon made of qi from the surroundings formed around him and then he lost consciousness.
Hours later Seth woke up, but this time with a splitting headache far from the pleasant feeling he had when Rose had healed him, this was the second time he was losing consciousness, and at this point, he really wanted to get home and hit the bed, his poor head deserved this much.
Learning from his earlier experience, he slowly opened his eyes but was met with darkness this time, it seemed he had been out for far longer than he thought as it was already nighttime.
He looked around and noticed he was in a shallow crater most likely caused by the earlier mini tornado of qi, he then immediately checked for Rose but could not see her anywhere.
"Had she left because it was nighttime and she needed to meet her husband" he stupidly thought to himself with a chuckle
He felt like there was something amiss as he walked out of the crater and after giving it some thought he realized what was wrong.
He could see that it was dark yet at the same time he had no problems seeing in that darkness, everything was as clear as day to his eyes, and when he tried thinking of why, a small wave of memories surged up in his mind bringing along a migraine.
Thankfully the earlier splitting headache had faded out so he was able to easily get over the migraine.
He then went through the memories and after that he sighed, he bit his finger and then began drawing a hexagonal seal on the air with the blood flowing out of his finger, and the blood unsurprisingly remained floating in the air as a seal was drawn.
He then channeled qi into the floating sea which lit up with a black light and then pressed down on the seal with his palm till it hit the floor with a bang.
The seal then began sending out black ripples of qi through the entire cave and with each ripple, the crater in the cave began filling up with earth which was being brought from areas of higher concentration.
A few minutes later, the crater was no more, he looked around, nodded his head, and then disappeared from his spot in a flash of black lightning and then appeared some distance outside the cave, he then looked to the right with a smile on his face and quietly waited.
A few minutes later, Rose appeared in front of him with a gust of wind.
With his new senses, it took him barely a second to recognize that she was a clone as he could feel nothing but a dense amount of qi similar to Rose's from the figure in front of him.
He showed no outward reaction to this discovery but instead flexed his and asked her with a cocky grin, "what do you think about my transformation?".
"You took way too long and still barely succeeded," Rose said in a disappointed tone. The faster one transformed the stronger the vampire he would become and with how long Seth took she began questioning her assessment of his abilities.
She had hoped that while paying off her debt to Seth she could at least make a powerful vampire and with Seth's arrogance, a powerful enemy for the earth which would give her some entertainment and as a bonus, put the earth under pressure and hopefully make it grow faster.
Given her long stay, she had grown fond of this world and didn't mind indirectly helping it grow, surely her mother could overlook this reasonable interference.
But given how long Seth took to transform, coupled with the really weak vampire aura she could feel from him, this little project of hers was clearly a failure.
"Get yourself dressed and leave the forest," Rose said as she turned to leave not bothering to entertain his question.
"What about my questions you promised to answer" Seth hurriedly asked her.
" Am busy right now, I will answer them some other time, now leave," Rose said as she released a horrifying aura on Seth which brought him to his knees, and then she left not even bothering to look at him once.
"Perhaps I overdid it", Seth mumbled to himself and then stood up when he sensed Rose had gone too far to notice him.
Seeing how disappointed she was in him, showed that she had a high expectations of him and also that she wasn't present for most of the duration of his transformation and missed the whole cocoon fiasco.
He was still coming to terms with what happened to him and it was better to keep things a secret till he could protect himself which is why he had knelt down when Rose had unleashed her aura on him.
Sure he still liked her and with everything that had happened today his confidence in making her his woman had soared, yet he had to acknowledge that before her eyes he was still an ant and he didn't want to find out how she treated ants with abnormal and interesting traits.
He then raised his head up, looked at the sky, and then began laughing like a mad man, as he indulged in the feel of the power coursing through him, he had never felt so strong and alive in his life.
When he came out of his reverie. He looked toward the direction Rose had left through.
Rose might have refused to tell him what was happening, but with his powerful sense, he could feel the battle taking place over there.
His blood tingled a little for him to rush into that battle but he easily controlled himself this time, seemed even his blood could have a cooldown.
He could sense that Rose was way stronger than her opponents and he had no intentions of coming under the world's radar yet, so immediately covered his body with black lightning and sped out of the forest.
When he left the forest, he ran for a little while and then came across a well lit up city in the distance, the lightening on his body disappeared and his body instead began oozing out black smoke and then he disappeared, blending seamlessly into the darkness as he ran into the city and then made a beeline straight for his home albeit at a slower speed unnoticed by anyone.
