Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

Chapter 263 Walking Dead

?

As this red miasma covered Seth, he first felt like he had been dropped in the sea, as his surroundings resisted his movements like he was deep in water, and then before he knew it, these feelings changed to him now beginning to feel like he was in a pool of glue, as his movements quickly became restricted.

The procedural but near-instantaneous restriction wasn't the only effect the red miasma had on Seth as the second the thick red gas had touched him, Seth's body was hit with nerve wrecking pain as his skin began melting off.

The minute Zuroc had detonated his arm, Seth knew he was in trouble and could not let Zuroc recover or stabilize himself, so even as the red miasma covered and restricted him, he had kept his eyes fluttering as much as he could, tracking Zuroc's staggering movement's and when he felt the time was right he let loose.

Given his current predicament, Seth didn't have time to prepare much, but he made sure to make use of the smallest nanoseconds he had.

Before he got unclosed in the red miasma he took in as much air as he could, and then when it was time, he opened his mouth and shot out a red beam of fire at the dismembered man.

Not trusting himself to successfully take out a target as small as Zuroc's head, Seth decided to aim for his chest, and to his delight his attack hit, hitting Zuroc on his right just below his chest and sending the man's body slamming into a nearby tree.

With his attack a successful hit, Seth rapidly moved his attention away from Zuroc and back to his now bound and melting body.

At that moment, Seth's entire body was stuck in thick red miasma which now surrounded his body like jelly.

It firmly held his body in place, while also to melting his body.

Without delay, Seth flooded his body with qi from all angles, starving off the liquefaction process.

Luckily for Seth, the dragon fire he had released earlier had destroyed the red miasma that had been heading for his face, so right now while his whole body was stuck in a red jelly-like substance, his head was free to turn around and breathe in air.

With his head free, Seth took a few seconds to let out a couple of heavy wheezes, and then all of a sudden he breathed in and the next movement released fire from his mouth, his head facing down as he blasted apart the now red blob that had confines him.

With more than half of the red blob blown apart, Seth fell to the ground, yet he didn't waste any time to relax as like a mad man he kicked himself to his feet and began releasing several heavy waves of qi from his body in a bid to get off every last remaining bit of the red miasma that had stuck to his body.

Within seconds, Seth's body was free of the red miasma, revealing his completely skinless body which was red all over dripping blood, and then his legs and laps which had little chunks of flesh missing.

With all of the corrosive substance now off his body, whatever adrenalin or instinct that had given Seth the strength to stand to his feet quickly died off, and in no time he found himself stumbling and eventually falling to the ground.

Lying there flat on his ground, the claws of sleep threatened to grab Seth, but this time he easily pushed them away, firmly remaining conscious as his body slowly regrew his missing flesh and healed his gruesome injuries.

Seth could feel the desire to feed build up in his body, but for now, it was at a moderate level, one which he didn't need to stress too much to control.

All in all, Seth had finally defeated Zuroc and was now waiting for his body to heal to a manageable level so he could go over to the man's body and retrieve it, he did after all need to give Aimy proof that he had killed Zuroc.

A few seconds passed as Seth's heavy breathing finally got lighter, but before he could accomplish his goal of healing his body, he heard a groan from his left.

To Seth's left was where Zuroc's body lay, and without delay, Seth's head snapped in that direction, panic feeling his mind as he watched the body which should have been dead by all accounts get to its feet.

The thought that his attack might have failed to hit entered Seth's mind, but that thought was quickly disproved when the man stood to his feet and Seth lay his eyes on the right side of his body.

There a near-perfect half-circle had been cut into the man's side, his inside bare for all to see, yet surprisingly as he stood up, not an ounce of blood flowed from this gaping hole. 

On his feet, his body swayed without control a little, and then without even sparing Seth a glance, Zuroc turned and began walking away.

With his body having entered a state of rest, Seth's greatest fear had been how he would deal with Zuroc were he to attack, but now as he watched the man walk off, Seth's train of thought changed as the fact that Zuroc had kept his eyes closed the whole time now came to the forefront of his brain.

Seth's eyes scrunched up in confusion as he wondered whether Zuroc was awake or perhaps his body was instinctively seeking a haven and a means to survive.

Several thoughts went through Seth's head, but in the end, he could only watch as the man's slow staggering walk turned into a focused walk, and then to Seth's shock it turned into a jog.

As he watched Zuroc's body jog away, Seth could only lament and reevaluate his plans, making serious reconsiderations of still going after Zuroc.
