"Overwhelming, mighty, intimidating, unbreakable, untouchable"
These were the emotions Seth felt as he stared at the barrier before him.
Powered with qi so vast that it felt like an ocean, Seth's senses were somewhat dulled just by standing next to it.
He could feel the deep vast pool of qi that supported the barrier, but incredibly enough the barrier leaked out no qi, making Seth smile at its efficiency.
"Do you really plan on making a hole in it?" Irene asked the doubt in her voice revealing the zero faith she had in Seth accomplishing this task.
"You might not believe in me, but pray I do unless you'll be facing the wrath of an angry Minuha".
"Albright your joy ride is over time to get down rabbit princess" Seth teased looking to the side and staring at Irene.
Not minding his tease, Irene nodded her head and released her arms and legs from around Seth, sliding off him and standing on the ground.

"I'm good," Iren said some seconds later as she completely took her hands off Seth and walked about two steps on her own.
"In that case, here's what's going to happen, you'll stand to my right, 5 steps away from me, and then when you see an opening you jump through is that clear," Seth asked.
"I understand," Irene said nodding her head.
"No you don't," Seth said and walked close to her, and then cupping her face in his hands he spoke.
"So far if there's one thing I can bet my life on about you is that you want to live, and this barrier Irene is the test that will determine if you live or not.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "This barrier is nothing like the other two I destroyed, this is a city-grade barrier, I won't be putting giant-sized holes in it the way I did with the other barriers.
"A human-sized hole at best, and at worst, well let's just say I will make sure there it doesn't come to that".
"Though I haven't seen it being breached, one thing I can assure you is that it has a regeneration speed that will slice you in half if you decide to take your time going through the hole.
"You want to live, then make sure you cross it alive, I won't be able to tell you when to cross, it will be up to you to determine the right time, and remember this, you only get one time," Seth said
"I understand, but then what about you?"
"I'll be cross over soon after you" Seth answered, Irene nodding her head.
Seth then moved away from Irene and stood some 5 steps away from her and then faced the barrier, taking calm breaths.
"Will it be safe on the other side?" Iren asked looking through the barrier at the desolate and destroyed grounds that lay beyond the barrier, she couldn't spot any enemy soldier but she still felt worried.
"Openings or secret doors in a barrier create weak points, and an opening is something the inner barrier does not have.
"Unless they're useless, the enemy should know this, so unless they get some verified information, spread they won't make their line thing by spreading their soldiers all around the wall.
"You won't face an army on the other side, but be prepared to face lots of patrol squads, so try and stay hidden till I get there," Seth said.
"Okay," Irene answered.
"Good, now here we go," Seth said and then began taking in a deep breath.
Several seconds which quickly turned into minutes passed, but Seth was still filling his abnormal lungs with air, but the aura which had picked up around him had Irene wanting to take a step back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the moment, Seth felt like a tank of volatile qi, one which kept on growing larger and was about to explode.
Waves of qi began shooting out of him, and the ground below his feet began cracking and depressing, a few pieces of broken rocks being sent into the air, and then all of sudden everything disappeared.
The powerful qi and aura which had surrounded Seth, the rocks and particles which had been flying around, the wind that had been moving around him, they all suddenly died down and then a second later a roar erupted from Seth.
"Roooaaar"
Seth's roar sounded ethereal, sounding throughout the whole city and having everyone turn in his direction, fear and caution instinctually appearing in the eyes of the inner city residents while they trembled on their feet.
While the whole city was being sent into anxiety by Seth's roar, Irene who was beside him was forced to bend down and rest her hands on her knees to keep standing, though this didn't bother her as at the moment as she was currently entranced by the bright red flames that poured out of Seth's mouth.
Unlike last time when the flames had left Seth's mouth in the shape of a beam, this time it expanded the further it was from Seth, and by the time it reached the barrier, it was Wide enough to burn three Irene's standing side by side with their hands outstretched.
In all of Seth's life, this was the most powerful attack he had ever released, surpassing anything he had ever done with Raijin.
Seth could feel unstoppable power wafting out of him, and this only spurred him to put more effort into the attack, smiling internally when he noticed a crack began appearing on the barrier.
Seth couldn't slowly chop away at the barrier and hope to destroy it, as using such a method will only be giving the barrier enough time to regenerate whatever damage it sustained.
The best way to destroy it was to hit it very suddenly with an attack beyond its initial tolerance, leaving no time for the barrier to pick up on the damage it had sustained and begin enforcing and repairing.
With this in mind, Seth didn't hold back as he went all out, and 10 seconds from the time he began the attack, the barrier before Seth shattered, his flames roaring through the hole and into the sky.
Immediately Seth shattered the barrier, it took him a second to quickly seize breathing his flames and then turn to his left, his eyes landing on the now empty space which had once been occupied by Irene.
