The sound of heavy rain colliding against the floor and buildings, never really occurred, and that's why Meiyi and Seth were able to hear hundreds of agonizing screams coming from all around.
Meiyi saw the maids who were previously in charge of taking care of her, suffering and she almost left from inside of her safe spot, to try helping them. But Seth already knew she might try doing something risky and his power also served as a cage for her, protecting her from her own naivety.
However, after a few moments had passed, all those screams filled with pain and despair, stopped. What was left behind, were just thousands of soulless puppets, bathing in an unholy ethereal energy.
Seth frowned and instantly used his right hand to increase the power of the barrier that circled Meiyi, since things were escalating quickly, going as far as infusing his darkness elemental powers into it.
