Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

490  My Curse

It all played out like a dream to Seth, there was no fanfare, fancy explosion, or scream. After a few sweet words from Alexia, the woman had left him and gone to the invisible Rose, and then finding himself unable to move, Seth could only watch as she placed her hand on Rose's head, and then both their presences began getting weaker. Other than the words they were exchanging and their changing expressions, there was no other sign that something was wrong. Rose continued with her hand seals, flipping through them right until her hand suddenly fell slack, and as her eyes closed, her body fell to the floor.

While Set had caught sight of the changes happening to Rose, his main focus was on Alice, who just slowly phased out of existence.

Everything was just so dreamlike to Tion that even after Alexia had faded away and Rose's body had fallen to the ground, he stood still, blinking for several seconds, having his qi vigorously circulate through his body and releasing occasional bursts.

Seth had his soul sense out, sweeping with powerful intensity for several seconds before he then took a deep breath and took a step forward. With eyes narrowed, Seth moved until he was in front of Rose, and then he stared at her and while Seth's body stood, observing Rose, his mind quickly descended to the depths of his being, appearing in his soul sense and floating over the large continent that hung over the red sea.

"I can't feel a single iota of her, it's like she was never here."

At the moment, Seth had refused the events he had just seen and now was actively trying to find his own truth. While his mind was still in a whirlwind trying to decipher Alexia's disappearance, Seth found a nagging thought heavily lingering on the edge of his brain, forcing him to open his eyes and also take in the sight of what lay before him. Before Seth was Rose's body, her cold, dead body, there was no heartbeat or pulse from the woman, she had no soul, she had no life.

"Rose."

"Alexia."

"Rose."

"Alexia."

The names of these two women kept ringing in Seth's head, making him hold his head in his hands and then fall to his knees.

"Rose, Alexia," Seth said these words once more, but this time, he said them aloud, and just as he spoke them, the world went dark. It looked like it was a sudden change, but if someone were able to watch the whole Earth at once, they would notice a wave of darkness spreading from Seth's location at blistering speeds and looking to swallow the entire Earth.

The ground, trees, weeds, people, animals, beasts, and more were what Seth saw as he knelt on the ground. Yet none of these sights brought calm to his mind. Seth's plan was simple; he refused to believe Rose and Alexia were dead, so he planned to search the entire earth for them. At the moment, Seth didn't have much in his head; he refused to think much. Finding the two women he loved was all that Seth's mind processed. Not even the pounding of his head as his mind tried to process several pieces of information could stop Seth. In no time, blood began dripping down Seth's nose, his whole face turning red, and he covered a quarter of the earth. Seth would have continued if it were not for the presence that appeared beside him.

"That's enough, lover boy. You killing yourself doesn't help me in any way."

There was only one word to describe the soft female voice that had spoken: "otherworldly." Perhaps, in a different situation, Seth would have been quick to look at her and want to see her assets, but at the moment, he was still reeling in shock at what had just happened to him. Immediately, the presence had appeared, his darkness had ceased to exist. Darkness that had blanketed a good portion of the world and was still set to do more had suddenly just disappeared. Seth, who had conjured this darkness, could not even explain what had happened.

There, kneeling on the ground, staring at the floor, Seth quickly pushed the matter of his darkness aside and instead asked himself a question.

"What is wrong with me?"

Kneeling down there, Seth could feel all his energies, but the thing that had him in disbelief was that they were subdued. Seth's blood, his origin energy, his qi, his being, his desires—all were screaming one thing.

"Fear her, listen to her."

Seth didn't know where they came from, but he knew they were there, and as they flooded his head and tried to convince him to stand down, he spoke a single word.

"Why?"

With the appearance and disappearance of the darkness, all was silent around Seth, so when he spoke, the new presence beside him could only ask,

"Why what?"

"Why do they tremble before you?"

Anyone who heard Tion's words would think he had gone mad as they would be left wondering what he was talking about, but the person beside Seth seamlessly gave out a response.

"Because they understand what I truly am, and so for your own safety, they tremble."

"Who is in charge, me or them?"

"Are you sure you want me to answer that?"

"I don't know."

Seth stayed silent for a few seconds, and then he spoke.

"My goal is to be free, to be able to do anything I want, but how can I aspire to reach such heights when I'm bound by my own body. All these senses, all these feelings, they are meant to be nothing but suggestions, yet I can feel them restricting my body, trying to influence my mind. This bloodline, this curse, I want out of it. To me, you are nothing but an ant. Whether or not it was you who created the world and all beings in it, to me, you are nothing but a pebble beneath my feet. I want to stand up right now and swing my sword at you, swing it with all I have, but I can't; my body won't let me."

"Ohh, we're talking about your curse, silly me, I thought we were talking about your lovers."

"What is love without the power to protect it? My power comes first."

"While that impresses me as a cultivator, as your mother-in-law, I'm not sure I support you."
