Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

With ferocity, Seth’s attack had first drilled into the mountain, going a distance into it and then exploding.

Survival of those who lived at the base or the middle of the mountain was zero and even those who lived in its upper parts were still a debate.

Only those who lived in the top parts of the mountain, a place where the blast would take a while to reach had a very good chance of surviving, and even at that, those people would have to have been in a state of alert and have sufficient strength.

Though the top part of the mountain lacked openings that spitted out light, Seth was more than sure that it was occupied by a person or a group of people, so he was expectant of survivors

Watching the mountain be consumed in bright yellow light as his finger bomb did its work, Seth slightly nodded his head but did nothing else even as a green object which seemed to be made of bamboo shot from the sky and fell on him.

“Fast response” Seth commented as he felt the fluctuating qi of three people descend from the sky, their figures temporarily covered by the light and smoke from the blast.

Looking at the object that fell on him, the several bamboos that had been crossed, Seth quickly concluded that he had been caged, but he just couldn’t wrap his head around the idea of a bamboo cage.

While Seth knew that the bamboo was bound to have seals on it, for it to even have the least bit of resistance, he just couldn’t fathom why one would use bamboo.

Though seals played a bigger role in fortifying objects, the object being fortified still acted as a base, and if a seal was placed on a far stronger object that would make the seal far stronger.

“Unless,” Seth thought walking towards the walls of the cage and reaching out to grab onto the bamboo bars of the cage.

Tiny lightning bolts suddenly streaked and shot out of the bamboo their power quite intensive as they moved to drive away Seth’s hands, but Seth paid them no mind, his right hand moving unhindered and grabbing onto the bar without hesitation.

Holding onto the bar, Seth quickly flooded the section he held with his qi, his soul sense coming into play and as he inspected that section of the bamboo, the young man conveniently ignored the three men who fell around him in a triangular formation.

“Just as I thought, it has qi pathways” 

Through the gaps in the relatively high rectangular cage that had fallen and trapped him, Seth could see three red ropes attached to the three different sides of the cage be grabbed by the three men who had descended from the sky and without delay, the men whose qi was already blaring each picked up a rope and then all Seth saw was red.

Holding onto the ropes bound to the cage that held Seth, the three men poured all their qi into it, delight on their faces as thick red lightning bolts lit up all around it and in no time, the cage was consumed in red lightning.

The sound of lightning screeches filled the air and the cage shone with a red light that had even the three men surrounding it blinking their eyes.

“Don’t let up” one of the men suddenly yelled, this man had a rather huge figure with a long horn that curved upward on each side of his head, his hair long and flowing.

“Nasule’s sacrifice cannot be in vain”

Hearing the horned man’s shout, the other two men, one being human and the other being blue all tightened their expressions and the laxness which had begun creeping in on them fazed out of their bodies.

Though the two men were sure their leader would have survived the blast, the same couldn’t be said for them.

With their already false sense of security in their huge mountain and them enjoying the taste of power, how could they have easily survived such an almost instantaneous blast, it had taken one of their own to sacrifice himself and give them the chance to usefully escape.

With their leader reminding them of Nasule’s sacrifice, both men’s eyes reddened at the thought that the killer of their friend and partner might still not be dead, and following their leader’s words, they pushed themselves harder

Seeing his subordinate’s resolve harden, Polior’s heart tightened and though he had lost one of his confidants, watching everything he had built be destroyed in a second wrought his heart with more intense pain

The men whom he had convinced to fight and bleed for him, the countless resources he had gathered, all of it gone, Polior felt so bitter that his heart threatened to hurt,

“If you three keep doing that, you won’t even be able to put up a fight against me.”

The voice calm and carrying genuine worry, the three men felt they were imagining things, but that didn’t stop them from sending out their soul sense and checking their surroundings.

Effortlessly, and without delay, all three men picked up on the origin of the voice and though their already tensed body further tightened, they didn’t stop their actions, instead turning so they faced Seth and looking to their leader for directives.

While one would think, this was a stupid move from them, Seth couldn’t; help but be surprised and then impressed.

Their ability to stay calm in the face of his surprise appearance and then look to Polior showed that they were far from the run-of-the-mill level 9 cultivators he was accustomed to seeing.

On the off chance that this was a prank intended to make them instinctively let go of the rope and stop bombarding the man whom they believed they had captured, then the trick would have failed, but this wasn’t a trick and Seth wondered what they would do.𝒩𝑶𝔳𝑙xt.𝓬𝑂𝔪

“Let go” Polior’s thick voice sounded, the bulky man confidently letting go of the red rope and then jumping to the other side of the cage.

Polior’s subordinates followed his lead and with the cage separating them, they observed their opponent who was standing some distance away from them with his hands behind his back.

Polior’s team stood observing Seth in silence, a silence which ended when the thick bolts of lightning in the cage died down and revealed to all the cage’s empty and redesigned state.
