Valic arrived at the demon territory after traveling for an entire week. His main mission was to investigate the traces left behind by the Cerberus Clan, however, he had orders to keep an eye on Seth too. Now that he returned with his objective in hands, he just needed to report back to the superiors.
Just as he had entered the demon territory, Tao Zhong's body started to act very strangely. His limbs contorted and his arms were flailing helplessly. After ten whole minutes on that condition, his limbs stopped moving, together with all the functions of his body. Tao Zhong died inexplicably.
Valic could only observer powerlessly as the process happened in front of him. He couldn't even point towards a suspect, since he was alone together with Tao Zhong. It didn't pass inside his head, that Seth was the cause of what just happened, because the concept of soul attacks was reserved to a select few. Those who knew something about soul, were the elite within the elite.
