Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

As Rose went through her handseals, she underwent a change. Her countenance changed from that of a cold mortal woman to a transcendent immortal aloof to the happenings of the world. Though Seth was also an immortal, he felt that Rose perfectly depicted what he had imagined one to be like. All these interactions and observations happened within seconds, and unfortunately for Seth, he couldn't stop and admire Rose's transcendent body as the air thrummed with energy and his body grew antsy. There was no feeling of danger, but there was a feeling of great discomfort, and Seth could feel right to the depth of his bones that he wasn't going to come out victorious today if he didn't do something.

"Well, I probably have to pull off a miracle."

If left to Seth, for the nearest coming years of his life, he wouldn't lay a challenge or attempt to fight Rose because not to mention the fact that she played a huge role in who he was today, there was the fact that Rose wasn't a citizen of this world. She was a woman who most likely stood on the same plane of existence as Alexia, a woman who was able to somehow sacrifice herself to bring him back to life. Until he had more information, seriously challenging Rose and hoping to beat her was not on Seth's agenda when he returned from Ashad and now, as he stood at an impasse and watched Rose, Seth grumbled within himself at the fact that things had led to him having to deal with Rose.

For a moment, after Seth had become able to tap into his original energy, he had been filled with joy at the fact that he would be able to thoroughly defeat Rose who he could see had hit a cap, but unfortunately for Seth, whatever joy he had felt at the moment was long gone. Right now, Rose had found a way to bypass her restraints, and coupled with the fact that Seth didn't even know exactly how strong Rose was or her cultivation level, he was now stuck staring at the woman rapidly going through multiple handseals.

Standing there trapped and watching his opponent making preparations, Seth felt a bit weird and a moment later, he could only shake his head and then begin moving away from Rose. Whatever opportunity Seth had to defeat Rose was gone, with the woman able to ignore Earth's limits on cultivation level; trying to act against her was pointless for Seth. Rather than waste his strength trying to hurt Rose, Seth decided that his chances of destroying the barrier that locked him in with Rose were quite higher. Being cautious of how much original energy he had in himself, Seth had his dantian roaring and spinning as fast as it could, preparing itself to rapidly supply a massive amount of qi and while it did that, he took in a deep breath and prepared himself.

"Hmm, I guess I was wrong, you do have one somewhat true cultivation technique."

Seth heard Rose's words but without giving it much thought, he threw it out and focused on his current action.

Though he was lost and ignorant of many aspects, the one thing Seth knew was that at the moment, he had to get out of the barrier. Without further delay, he moved toward achieving that goal. With suddenness, Seth breathed out, realigning the air that he had breathed in and along with it, he released cackling red flames from his mouth, flames that seemed to fade in and out of the world as they travelled through the air and with dominance smashed against the invisible wall a few meters ahead of Seth.

Seth's dantian spun and churned out qi as he spewed flames out of his mouth. With each passing second, those flames thickened and expanded, the ferocity seeming to be backed by a heavenly judgment. At that moment, Seth was realizing the strongest attack he had ever conceived, his dragon flames combined with his original energy. As the wild torrent of flames left his mouth, he found himself having to firm his stance on the ground, lest he actually be pushed back.

Narrowing his eyes at the invisible obstacle that his flames were smashing against, unable to even rattle it, Seth was just about to firm his mind to give it his all, even if it meant draining all his energy when a very familiar presence appeared next to him, but this time her appearance was one he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Stop it, Seth. What you're doing won't work; you're just wasting your time."

With this appearance, Seth's flames, which had been steadily rising in intensity, lost their momentum. It took him a few seconds before he registered Alexia's words and then let up on his attack, closing his mouth and standing up straight.

"Alexia, what is going on?" Seth said, but with the way his eyes kept going up and down Alexia, the woman could see what his concern was.

Long blond hair that went past the hips, light black eyes that contained a glint within a beautiful pair of eyelashes that lay beneath sharp brows, a flawless skin that made one think of nothing but holiness and pureness. Beside Seth floated Alexia, and while he was used to the woman popping up beside him, he was surprised to see her in her mature form, considering that she had decided not to reveal it to him until he made good on his promise of properly resurrecting her.

"This barrier is a divine product. Even if your power multiplies by ten, you still won't be able to rattle it."

Though he hadn't gotten an answer to the question he truly asked, Seth decided to let his question about her appearance be and focused on the immediate issue at hand.

"Well, since you're letting me know that the barrier is untouchable, then I'm guessing that means you want me to target her. So tell me, Alexia, what's the plan?" Seth asked.

Turning to Rose, Alexia opened her mouth to reply to Seth, but unfortunately, someone beat her to speak.

"Who are you?"

All this while Rose had been focusing on her hand seals, but now immediately Alexia popped out, her attention was drawn to the woman. Rose had planned to remain silent and let them talk, but unfortunately, the woman had turned to her, and so with haste, she took control of the conversation and the situation.
