Chapter 693 - The Perfect Bait

"A Seelie? I thought they were extinct?" Alice asked, surprised.

"Apparently not, there's one right here." Klaus replied while looking at the Seelie with interest.

This little guy was behind that troubleso ice.

Seelies form from a place of concentrated elental essence. It usually takes years for them to form and gain intelligence, from the looks of it, it hasn't been long since this one ford, hence its sowhat low intelligence.

A smarter Seelie would know not to co out in the presence of people. These magical creatures were highly coveted by people because if absorbed, they could help improve one's elental grade and mastery of their elent.

This Seelie was special in the sense that it had two elents, a Dual Elental Seelie was rare to see, even when they weren't almost extinct.

The Seelie looked at the group with interest. It hadn't left this place since it ford, so this was the first ti it was encountering sothing different from magical beasts or phantoms.

It couldn't speak, so other than staring at the group, it did nothing else.

Alice was drawn to it imdiately, and she thought of capturing it as a partner.

"It's extrely difficult to gain the trust of a Seelie." Kyle saw through her intentions and said.

"Whoever manages to acquire its trust will be its partner, deal?" Klaus asked.

There was only one Seelie, and there were five people here. Void was excluded, since well, he was already a partner to Grey, and magical beasts don't usually have other magical creatures as partners.

Grey nodded, having no issues with Klaus' suggestion. The sa goes for the others.

Kyle never thought they'd use such a thod. This was Seelie, sothing that even relatives would fight over to get, yet these people said whoever could gain its trust would acquire it. What if the first person who stepped forward gained its trust imdiately, what would happen to the others?

While Kyle was thinking of how carefree the group were, Klaus was the first to step forward.

The mont he approached the Seelie, it attacked instinctively. With the aid of the wind elent, it pushed him back, while ice spikes sprang out from the ground, almost impaling Klaus.

Klaus reacted quickly and evaded the attack.

"What's wrong with the world? Now cute things only have murderous intentions towards ?" He complained while cleaning the sweat off his forehead.

If he didn't react fast, he would've been injured. In the space of thirty minutes, two cute creatures had threatened his life. This was unacceptable!

"Next." He said grumpily.

He couldn't try again for now.

Reynolds was the next to step forward. He raised his hand above his head as if to show he didn't have any dangerous intentions toward the Seelie. He managed to get close to the Seelie unlike Klaus, but it attacked as well.

His Elental Warrior blocked the attack, but its appearance frightened the Seelie and it continued attacking.

Reynolds was forced to retreat.

"Wanna try?" Grey looked at Kyle, who shook his head.

As tempting as this looked, it was also very dangerous. This Seelie hasn't used its full strength yet. From what he could tell, it should be at the First stage of the Sage Plane. Once it's frightened to a certain stage it would attack with its full strength, and the group would be in danger at that ti.

Grey turned to Alice, and she was already walking toward the Seelie with a calm smile. She didn't make any movents, after getting to within ten ters of the Seelie, a smile broke out on her face as she whipped out her secret weapon.

It was none other than a piece of at she kept from Grey's last cooking. She used her fire elent to warm it up, and its rich aroma wafted through the entire place.

The Seelie wanted to attack, but the second it perceived the aroma of the at, it froze. Its previous noseless face saw a change, and a nose magically appeared on it as it took in a deep breath.

The others saw it drooling as it stared at the piece of at in Alice's hand.

Grey and the others were stumped. They never thought Alice would use a thod like this. She was obviously baiting the Seelie.

Once the Seelie got a taste of this, it would definitely want more, and the only way to get it is by following the person who gave the food to it first.

'My chance is gone. A sha. I would've liked to have one of these. I read that they form a bond with their partners, and once it's ford, even if people tried to steal the Seelie, it would be useless. And they can also rge with their partners during battles, aiding their partners with their elents.' Grey communicated with Void telepathically.

Once a Seelie creates this bond with their partners, they transfer their essence to them. This would have no effect whatsoever on the Seelie, but if people were to steal it later in the future for its essence, it would be worthless. Then the aspect of rging would give the Elentalist an added elent. Unfortunately, this can only be possible when rged.

Alice for instance already has two elents, if she manages to form a bond with this Seelie, she would gain two more if they rge. Unfortunately, it was extrely difficult for people to create these bonds since only the Seelie can initiate them.

'You don't need this thing, I'm more than enough.' Void replied proudly.

'Hehe.' Grey laughed without making any comnts.

Void was annoyed by the laugh, but let him be and focused his attention on the Seelie.

Alice had been able to get within three ters of the Seelie, and the closer she got to it, the more it drooled, fixing its gaze on the piece of at throughout.

Before long, Alice was standing in front of it. She still had her amiable smile, squatting down, she took the at closer to the Seelie.

At first, the Seelie didn't make any movents, but after a while it was unable to hold itself back anymore and pounced on the at, devouring it.

Alice didn't let go of the at throughout the ti, only when it got to the last part of it did she give it to the Seelie.
