Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

The dragon flames were Seth's most powerful attack, one that had always helped him triumph over the toughest of opponents, but at the moment, Seth could only watch as his flames were blocked with undisputable ease, and then, to his anguish, the garden of flames which he was standing smackdab in suddenly got hotter.

The piercing pain from the increase in flame intensity had Seth screaming within his mind, but he forced back the scream that threatened to leave his lips.

The truth was that the dragon fire Seth was currently releasing was his last card to play, and were he to stop releasing the flames from his mouth, then it was all over. With the amount of qi he had consumed just initiating this attack, ending the attack would leave Seth breathless and without qi to start any other attack, so without argument, Seth had to make something of his dragon flames. After seeing his attack be completely useless on Rose, Seth moved his head and directed his attack at the flames around him. If his flames couldn't harm the vile red-haired woman, then it only made sense to see if it could destroy the scorching flames that he had caged in.

Swaying his head from left to right, Seth doused his immediate surroundings with his red-hot flames, intending to burn out Rose's own, but soon he found out that even that tactic was useless. Seth thought to use fire against fire, and while the fire did in the end destroy fire, it wasn't his that was doing the destruction.

The flames, the long whip of flames holding him in the heat, Seth could do nothing to them under that growl and keep on breathing fire, this time his growl being filled with despair. At the moment, the picture of Seth was that of a man deep in flames, bound to his location in the inferno and also sprouting flames from his mouth. Seth looked like some evil demon that was being punished or sentenced to exile.

As seconds and minutes went by, the inevitable happened. Despite Seth's tenacity and reluctance to give up, his dantian could do nothing but tap out and Seth's flames, which had represented his most desperate desires to triumph, began weakening as its qi source ran dry.

"He's a scary man. If Rose wasn't here, I doubt any of us guardians would have been able to do a thing. Those flames of his are scary; they make mine look like a spark," Tera thought, a shiver going through her. As Tera looked at Seth's weakening flames and heard his desperate cries, she felt pity for him despite him being the enemy and shivered at the thought of her ever being in such a position.

Hearing such pitiful cries from a powerful man like Seth, Tera looked to Rosew 09:32

onderignif she also felt pity for the man, but seeing the cold, uncaring expression on the woman's face, her throat could only go dry, she readjusted her mindset and expressionlessly stared at the spectacle before her. As his flames weakened, desperation filled Seth's eyes, and his mind went searching for anything else he could do.

In a few seconds, Seth concluded that he was done and was going to die. Just as that happened, his brain seemed to clear up. Despite the pain his body was going through, it seemed to have become detached from it.

"Perhaps it's what happens when you're at the door of death; you lose the ability to feel pain," Seth thought muddle-minded. Seth's thoughts weren't clear, but what he did know was that he had been had and that it was by someone he had, to an extent, trusted. Rose was still and is still his love, and despite what was currently happening to him, Seth refused to believe that the woman before him was the very same one that he had left on Earth when he went to Ashad.

"What happened to you, Rose?" Seth thought, and then his mind jolted. "Hey Alice, what's happening? I'm dying here, and yet you haven't said a thing. I hope you're not back there crying."

From Alice, Seth didn't get a reply, and this worried him. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it as with his situation, he couldn't go diving into his mind.

"Ahhh, I'm a dragon, yet here I am dying within flames. What a mockery to my bloodline and existence," Seth thought, his mind fierce with anger. "The fact that it hasn't come up means it isn't helping, so I guess that means I'm on my own. If only I had captured Tera a few minutes earlier and gotten that information out of her, perhaps things would have been different, and my increase in strength would have helped me face Rose. What calamity level is she even at anyway? It can't be higher than mine, considering the cultivation restrictions in the world. Does that mean we are both at the same cultivation level? Does that mean…"

Seth's mind was sunk deep in his thoughts when a sudden feeling hit him, and he immediately stopped everything he was doing and focused on this feeling. Other than the aching and blistering pain from the fire burning his skin, Seth could feel anger from his body.

Just like how Seth had felt humiliated and embarrassed that he was being defeated by fire, so did that feeling that lingered in the depths of his body, it was like it was alive.

Seth's anger and the anger from within his body were the same, but unlike Seth who was powerless to do a thing this feeling within Seth screamed of power, vengeance, and supremacy, and Seth didn't need to be told twice to grab onto the feeling and pull it up from the depths of his body to the surface.

One minute, Seth was exhausted, his dantian about to go empty, and the next, he was

bubbling with energy. His dragon flames came out with far greater vigour and this time they destroyed everything in their path, the mere fabric of space included.
