Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

487  Backfoot

With the kind of power flowing through Seth, he believed there was a chance that if he meant it and went all out, he could perhaps have his hand driving through Rose's chest, particularly her heart, and killing her, but he didn't take this chance. Not to mention that it was just a chance and not an assurance, there was also the fact that Seth wasn't out to kill Rose. The fact that she wasn't also hard to kill made it a lot easier to eradicate thoughts of killing her, besides, Seth had other plans with his palm strike. As much as Rose's plan was to subdue him, Seth's plan was to restrain her, so as his palm hit Rose, he quickly pushed his qi into her, his plan being to neutralise ir out her out of commission by poisoning her with his qi.

As Rose descended back to the ground, falling under the force of gravity and his attack, Seth followed behind her, wanting to keep a close eye on her but on seeing the bitter and disgusted look on Rose's face as he followed her, Seth could only shiver and wonder if he had violated her in some way.

"Tchh, ant."

Hearing Rose's words, Seth understood a little of what was going on in her head. But then, before he could dismiss her arrogant attitude, he saw her eyes glint. Immediately, Seth went vigilant, putting his vitality at the forefront. He sped toward Rose, wanting to land another hit on her. Though he succeeded in doing this, succeeded in making the woman scream once more, succeeded in making her spurt out blood, succeeded in making her eyes turn red, and some of the cracks on her body widen and release more light, Seth noticed the glint in Rose's eyes brighten.

Not filling his mind with useless thoughts on what an old master like Rose, who was bound to have many trump cards and get out tickets was up to, Seth kicked against the air once more, wanting to speed away from Rose's vicinity, but then a fierce raging fire in the form of a bird rose in the air from beneath Rose.

Seth didn't need anyone to tell him that the bird was created by Rose and that the attack would harmlessly pass her and head for him.

"Slow," Seth thought as he made his kick and cracked th air. Just like earlier, with the speed Seth had sent himself at, his figure disappeared, bound to appear about half a kilometre away, but then, just 10 meters away, his body reappeared, his appearance followed by the sound of flesh smashing against a hard surface and several bones cracking.

There high up in the air, Evary Seth had crashed into an invisible wall, he was plastered to it, and having collided face first into the wall, the front part of his body was dripping blood. It was just for a second that Seth collided with that wall, and it was enough. Within that time frame, the fiery bird that had been below Rose and still rising suddenly appeared behind Seth and smashed into him. Another explosion lit up the sky, lighting it up in red and spreading waves of heat all around. The perpetrator of this attack landed on her feet and with a grunt stood up straight and firm while looking up in the sky.

"What is this?" A voice asked from within the fire in the air, but Rose gave no explanation, instead, she brought her hands together and began performing handseals. With his question being ignored, Seth wanted to gather his energy and attempt to destroy the barrier that he was now discovering he had been trapped in. But then his senses picked up on Rose's action, and a feeling of caution rose within him.

The choice was to either ignore Rose and try to destroy the barrier or stop Rose from doing whatever it was she was up to. Making the quick and best decision, Seth descended from the sky, and in no time, he was in front of Rose. Not caring about her thoughts, both of Seth's hands reached to grab the woman's arms, but then his hands passed through her.

At first, Seth was surprised at what was going on, but then a thought came to mind. He quickly bolstered his soul sense and had it do a thorough sweep of his surroundings. Confirming that he was in no illusion and making sure that it remained that way, Seth's hands once more moved for Rose. However, he was met with the same result. It was like she was nothing but a hologram, and his hands effortlessly passed through her.

His face twisted in confusion, and Seth wanted to believe that he had been tricked in some way, that Rose was not truly before him. However, his soul sense and his instincts told him that she was there. Seth took a step back, his eyes moving to the ground to find a lead, but then Rose's voice reached him.

"Don't stress your little brain too much. From your ignorance, I can only conclude that you know nothing about the 3rd stage of a law."

Rose's words were like thunder in Seth's head, and he couldn't help but lick his lips and narrow his eyes. The last time such a thing had happened was when he fought Minuha, and back then, Seth had been at the mercy of the woman until he had his breakthrough.

As things were, Seth was already suffering from his knowledge of how to use his powers in the calamity stage. He was already on the back foot against Rose, and another such disadvantage was the last thing he needed.

"That is impossible. There is a limit to the level of power one can wield in this world. You can't wield the power of the third law here."

"So you're not a total idiot after all," Rose said, her tone neutral, and Seth wasn't even sure she was mocking him. "Though there is a cap on the power level, that can only happen if the heavens can see the cap being broken. What do you think the barrier around us is for?"

"You've hidden us from the heavens," Seth asked, his heart beginning to race.

"Yes," Rose said and then went silent, focusing on her several handseals.

"What are you doing?"

"Casting a technique, a true cultivation technique."

Rose's words were simple and straight to the point, but rather than settle Seth's curiosity, they instead had him scrunching his face in confusion.

"A true cultivation technique," Seth thought, looking at the rapid movement of Rose's hands. As Seth stared at Rose, he noticed the cracks that had appeared on her body sealed up, her body rapidly regaining its beautiful and healthy color.

"A true cultivation technique." Though Seth wasn't sure what Rose meant, he knew that from the confidence she portrayed and the time she dedicated to casting this technique, it wasn't something to gloss over. Realizing that wanting to harm or interfere with Rose's plan was a pipe dream, Seth's mind quickly moved onto the other option he had, which was to break himself out of the barrier.

Seth turned and looked at his surroundings and had his soul sense erupt and scan all around him, sweeping for several kilometers before coming to a stop.

"I'm guessing whatever barrier you created is something that shouldn't be on this planet," Seth solemnly said, realizing that no matter how much or how intense he stretched his soul sense, he couldn't pick up on a single thing, he was blank.

Unlike before when Rose was quite talkative, this time Rose did not indulge Seth in his question; she plainly ignored him and continued with her task.
