Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs



The minute Seth walked into Zuroc's tent, he had entered the man's home ground, he had entered into a playing field that was built for Zuroc's victory.

While others saw a normal-looking tent, one whose walls were made of thick cloth, Seth saw different.

To most people, the various engravings put on the tent's walls were just random lines or a sort of decoration placed on it, but to Seth, those were seals.

When Ella had boasted about her kingdom's sealing prowess, it would seem she had forgotten to say anything about the world, because so far, Seth had been encountering seals that left him stomped.

The truth was that if Seth didn't have the enlightenment sphere with him, he would have been a total dullard when faced with the various seals placed before him.

Though in this case, Seth hadn't needed his enlightenment sphere, the seals on the all were dormant, and while this fact completely hid their true nature, anyone very proficient in sealing would be able to piece the lines together and come up with a rudimentary idea on what they were looking at.

What these seals did Seth had no idea, but one thing he could be sure as that they aided the inhabitant of the tent.

Now in the same tent with Zuroc, and seeing him approaching, Seth didn't risk engaging the man or trying to flee.

Seth didn't want to risk falling for whatever nasty surprise the seal of the tent might harbor, so he decide to first even the playing field by taking away Zuroc's home advantage.

Immediately using his most powerful and draining attack, Seth breathed out flames from his mouth, an almost red beam shooting out and colliding with an approaching Zuroc who stupidly stood his ground.

A loud explosion sounded from the collision, and Seth who was nearby, was sent flying off his feet and colliding with the tent which now shone blood red.

For a moment it seemed like the tent was going to contain the explosion, but alas that was not to be as the tent was shattered and the Seth was sent skidding away on the ground.

While it was already proven that his flames couldn't hurt him, that didn't mean that his body wouldn't suffer damages when subjected to the various forces that accompanied its release or that his head wouldn't ring from the loud sound of the explosion like it was doing now.

While Seth was sure his ear wasn't bleeding, the ringing sound in his ear was quite annoying and this slight disorientation would have cost his head if not for his blaring danger instincts.

Applying force with his right hand, Seth pushed himself to the left, narrowly avoiding Zuroc's black heavy sword from smashing down on his head.

Unfortunately, this move of Seth couldn't save him from the kick that came smashing down on his face, sending him skidding into the ground and leaving a long ditch in his wake.

Knowing that he didn't have the time or luxury to be on the ground. Seth pushed himself up, his body rising into, the air, and just as he was about to land on his feet, he had to raise his right arm to block a foot that did not belong to Zuroc.

Though he blocked the kick, Seth's unbalanced form was still pushed back by the force of the attack whose momentum he had yet to fully counteract.

Seeing that the clothes of his latest attacker were different from what Zuroc had been putting on, was more than enough of an indication to Seth that he was facing a different assailant, his current situation didn't give him the luxury to look at people's faces.

Struggling to get back his balance Seth was faced with his senses blaring once more, a kick coming for his side, but Seth decided to ignore, it, prioritizing regaining his balance over avoiding the attack.

As soon as the kick hit, Seth almost regretted his earlier choice, because the earlier kick he had just blocked felt like a child's punch when compared to this one.

With a scream and the snap of a bone leaving his body, Seth went sent shooting through the air, hitting the ground and bouncing back up, his body rolling like a ball till it slammed into a huge rock that stood close to the camp.

Already knowing better, Seth ignored his pain and pushed himself off the ground, spurting out blood from his mouth as he stood up, yet he ignored it and peeled his eyes open as he stared at the two unexpected assailants.

A tall woman dressed in the usual green and black uniform with her knees bent and her body in a fighting stance, while not too far from her stood Seung, his wide grin enough of a telling on whose kick had nearly snapped Seth into two.

Starring at the new additions, Seth couldn't help but grit his teeth as a memory of his conversation with Aimy came flashing in his head.

.. Flashback…

"And what is his attitude towards a one-on-one battle," Seth asked

"Well though he portrays himself as a pragmatic man and I know that his pride would take over in the right situation".

"Explain, "Seth said.

"Well to put it simply he should be like you, he'll ignore anything he considers as below him, but if he thinks someone is a worthy opponent, then he'll drop his logic and go for the thrill" Aimy explained.

"And you're sure about this, you barely even know him" Seth complained.

"I have been around him for more than a day, what am telling you right now is a fact, "Aimy said, looking Seth in the eye and portraying her confidence.

… Flashback end … 

A hint of murder flashed through Seth's eye at the realization that Aimy had lied to him, but he quickly stashed away his bloody thoughts and faced the battle before him.

Not being dumb enough to bet his life on the fact that Zuroc will want to engage him in a one on one fight, Seth had a plan in place, one which he was just about to initiate and whose first step involved fleeing, but Zuroc's next words stopped him.

"What do the both of you think you're doing?"
