Chapter 365 Growl In Pain
Chapter 365 Growl In Pain
?
Something was coming, something dangerous was coming.
When did Seth have his last breakthrough, when did he feel fear from any single being.
Even after transforming Irene who was closest in cultivation to him, the woman had felt like an egg he could crush at any time, but now someone dangerous and actually life-threatening was approaching.
His eyes narrowing, Seth tried to zero in on the approaching image, a man wearing a silver crown and cloak coming into his sight.
Usually, Seth's soulsense was always the first to pick up on a detail before his eyes and that was because those details were usually not too far from him and also because of his eye's inability to look in all directions or see through objects, but this time things were different.
The silver clothe man was kilometers away from Seth and with him being in his direct line of sight, and it took his soulsense seconds later to reach the man and identify him for the true danger he was, and when it did, Seth made a mad dash for the portal which was a few steps away from him but alas he was too late.
The feeling of danger had only been a tingle, one signifying the approach of a powerhouse, unable to properly access the opponent's lethality due to the large distance between them.
With his previous breakthrough to Kaiser Level, Seth's soulsense had strengthened to being unable to sweep over kilometers, and now when it reached its target he had gotten a reading of the Man's lethality.
"Monster" was the words Seth described the approaching cultivator with, and with feelings of danger swamping his body, the chances of the approaching cultivator being a friend dropped to an all-time low.
"Besides when have powerful people ever been receptive to me."
Though reluctant, Seth was hit with the flee or die choice and just as he moved to avoid the dictator, he realized that his little days had cost him.
Just barely, Seth saw the man take something from his back, the thing being near invisible to his eyes but a powerful cross-shaped blur to his soulsense.
The man held it like a sword and then without flare or delay he swung it at Seth.
The portal was just a few steps from Seth, just a step and he would be in it, teleporting to god knows where but then Seth stopped and turned to face the near invisible attack.
Seth could have continued on his initial route and dived into the portal, but the problem was that if he left, the attack would hit this location and without a doubt destroy the portals.
Now having a valid and concrete reason to battle, Seth's challenging side flared up in excitement, and it didn't take a second for a red sword to appear in Seth's hand and for his figure to go black, dark fumes pouring out of him.
Just because he was maniacal to want to fight an opponent that sent his senses crazy didn't mean Seth was stupid.
To an extent he understood that were he to face this incoming opponent, death was what awaited him at the end of the tunnel.
With the consequences and risks of his action in mind, Seth stood exploding with all his power, all his strength coming to the forefront and his dantian spinning as fast as it could.
With his eyes narrowed and soulsense on full blast, Seth tracked the approaching attack, swinging his sword at it.
As Seth's arms moved, the ground beneath him cracked and splintered, and as he finished his swing, the earth beneath him exploded, continually shattering and leaving Seth floating in the air and above a deep wide hole as he finished his strike.
With a loud cry, a red and black sword slash flew out Seth's sword, causing the air to tremble and tearing the ground which it flew above, roaring and shooting towards the silent but deadly attack.
A second after Seth shot off his attack, a loud piercing sound of collision spread in the air making Seth's eyes widen in shock.
"It came so quick" Seth muttered in disbelief, yet before he could ponder further on the attack that had been shot at him, his instincts flared, prompting him to begin lifting his sword, but Seth's mind realized the futility of that move, and thigh he still raised his sword, he prioritized moving his body to right.
Just as Seth's body managed to move right, something which would have hit him dead in the center of his head and body, hit him on his left shoulder and chest.
In the end, Seth's decision had been right as his sword had been late to come up and block the attack, and that was assuming the sword could even block the mysterious attack.
Congratulating himself on his decision while moving to face his enemy was Seth's plan after all it was just a hit to his left side and he had healed from far worse injuries, but unfortunately, that plan never came into play.
Just a second after Seth was hit by this attack, he felt like his body shut down and then all the qi in his body seized functioning as they should, no longer moving in the direction Seth commanded, and with this Seth found his body moving off the ground and shooting in the air.
Though death had been close to Seth several times, this time it was closer than ever, as Seth felt it in himself.
Luckily for Seth, he had been standing in front of the black portal that Aimy had created, so as he flew in the air, all it took was his body hitting the ground hard skidding off it and into the black hole behind.
Minutes later, a silver-cloaked man walked into the scene with a lazy yawn.
His eyes moved to one of the black portals to the side but then he ignored it and looked to the other which was just fading away.
He could destroy the still stable black portal if he wanted but it would be a useless move considering it had been used long before he arrived and the user was already safe.
As for the black portal which was just fading away, he could only groan.
"All that work only to lose his body" the man grumbled lamenting at having killed Seth but in the end losing his body.
...….
In a world different from Egaroth, a group of people were going about their business when a light suddenly lit up and fell to the ground, and then to everyone's shock a growl that could only belong to a beast in extreme pain came sounding out and when the light faded away, the saw a man screaming his lungs out.
