Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

Chapter 174 Heroic Deductions



“Yes, to his disbelief, Seth was left to the realization that he had actually slept through an attack.

As he moved through the streets which had been empty and serene the last time he was awake, Seth’s eyes were greeted with total destruction.

Burning buildings, cracked roads and pavements, and most importantly dead bodies, burnt dead bodies.

Be they man, woman, or child, their bodies littered the streets in staggering amounts, but what really had Seth pausing in his stride and keenly observing all around him, was the absence of anyone who could be described as a soldier on the ground.

While Seth couldn’t identify an individual’s identity from their dressing seeing as they were all burnt black, the absence of any weapon or armor was a telltale sign.

There were no unique scorch marks or cut marks no matter where he looked, just burnt buildings and corpses.

It made for quite the eerie scene as Seth all alone walked atop the rumbles and ashes in deafening silence, the occasional spark of fire, the only sound that could be heard.π‘ΆπšŸπ‘™xt.π‘π“žπ—†

Genuinely curious about what had transpired while he slept, Seth’s legs tensed and he sent himself soaring into the air and landing on a building that still had a steady rooftop.

Raising his head, Seth’s eyes couldn’t help but widen as he took in the destruction before him, and taking in a deep breath, he turned and had a keen look all around him, a rough idea of what might have transpired while he slept creeping into his mind.

When Seth had gone to sleep, the sun while it had still been up and shining, had been in its setting phase, its ray having been falling only on a particular side of the city and leaving large shadows, a sign that it had been close to evening or had been evening.

But now, the sun while not directly overhead, would soon be, and Seth could still feel that lingering warmth of the morning sun, all this alluding to the fact that this was a new day and that hopefully it was the next day.

Now having made a rough estimation of how long he had slept, Seth’s eyes moved to one of the most defining landmarks at the moment, the pitch-black hole up ahead.

Though Seth called it a hole, a more appropriate name for it will be a crater, a big one that Seth would say was formed by a big and powerful explosion originating from that particular spot.

The shallowness of the crater despite it being quite wide was an indication to Seth that the explosion was a premeditated one as the feature of the crater pointed to the explosion having been designed to cover a long-range, spread as much damage as possible, instead of inflicting the maximum damage on it origin spot.

Seth’s eyes hovered over the crater, and he couldn’t help but shake the feeling that whatever had caused the explosion had been quite a big object, and immediately this thought came to mind, he instantly remembered the earth’s fighters, machines capable of dropping weapons of mass destruction, and like a reflex, Seth looked up to the sky.

The sky was still there, blue as usual with the occasional clouds, but the same could not be said for the barrier which had once stood proudly over Monwac city.

Its image appearing and disappearing, Seth could see the several holes and crack which adored the barrier, his eyes trailing to a particularly massive hole that stood almost above the crater, plainly telling him how what should be a bomb had come to arrive at the city.

“I actually slept through an invasion” Seth muttered, his body shivering as he imagined scenarios of things that could have gone wrong were he unlucky.

“Imagine dying because a bomb was dropped on you while you slept, Seth thought in annoyance, but his mind went back to his desolate surroundings, staring at the city’s inner wall which was now under attack.

It would seem whatever means had been used to infiltrate the city’s main wall had proved insufficient or was unavailable because, at this moment, Seth could see that city’s inner wall was under siege.

The city’s inner wall, just like the main wall, also possessed a barrier, and from what Seth could see, this barrier was currently well and working, easily withstanding the barrages of gigantic fireballs that were being flung at it.

Seeing as the city interior was currently under unobstructed attack, Seth could only arrive at the conclusion that the entirety of the outer city had fallen and that all that was left was the city’s interior, Monwac city was a lost cause.

“And here I was hoping to eat to my fill,” Seth thought as he turned and began walking away, his body thumbed in excitement at the thought of fighting in a war but Seth knew his priorities, yet it wasn’t up to a second later that Seth stopped in his tracks.

At the moment, Seth’s eyes were currently looking at the barrier above and then moving towards the several holes in the city wall, but while his eyes did these things, Seth’s mind was somewhere else, as he had a feeling that he had forgotten something.

Seth was just about to kick his feet off the ground and begin heading out of the city when the memory of a person called Irene came crashing into his head, compliments of his grievances with Aimy jolting his brain.

“Can’t believe I forget her” Seth said palming his head, making a complete U-turn as he stared at the walls of the inner city and with a sigh began heading for it.

Destruction, destruction, and more destruction greeted Seth’s eyes, and it wasn’t until he moved deeper into the outer regions that he began coming across dead bodies which weren’t burnt black.

Bloodied bodies of men, women, children, and this time soldiers in iron armor littered the ground.

Seth could hear the howl of weeping mothers and sobbing children, the groans and creams for help from wounded individuals, Seth had finally come face to face with some of the realities of war but that didn’t stop his movements.

His mind only able to release a silent sigh, Seth continued his dash for the city’s only standing wall, but it was only about a minute later that his eyes glanced upon the scene of a pregnant woman standing protectively in front of a child, while a man dressed in green and black clothing approached her and ruthlessly grabbed her by the hair.

It made for quite the touching scene but Seth currently had no interest in heroing, he ignored the merry scene and moved to continue on his way, yet after making his next jump, he found himself, in front of the man in black and green, his hand having already sliced through his head.
