Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

486 Knowledge

As people with the vampire bloodline, Seth and Rose had a natural affinity for illusion, and to some extent, some natural inborn illusionary abilities.

While Seth was a novice who only knew how to use the little he had to seduce women, Rose was an old master and was more than capable of using her abilities to find a solution to her problems, as she had done now.

Though it took Seth only a few seconds to realize that Alexia and the deadly attack he had felt were not real, the damage had been done. He had now released Rose and given the woman the chance to recuperate and restrategize. Seth expected Rose to want to fall back and be wary about him, but surprisingly, after his soul sensed the trickery and he got rid of it, Seth found Rose standing right where he had left her.

“Origin energy, and you don’t even know how to properly use it,” Rose said, shaking her head. Looking into her eyes, Seth could see nothing but pity in them—pity for him.

“From your words, it seems you realize that I have much to learn. I’m not against you being my mentor,” Seth said, sneakily offering a solution for the conflict they were currently in, unfortunately, his sincere feelings were not reciprocated.

“I already told you what options you’ve had, and since you’ve decided to lay your bed, it’s time to lie on it.”

As Rose finished speaking, the ground before her once more exploded, shattering it into bits and making way for waves of fire, but this time fire coated with several black dots.

“Stupid world’s limits,” Rose muttered as several cracks appeared all over her body, the cracks shining red and making Rose seem like a cocoon struggling to break free.

While the information that had actually saved his life was origin energy, the energy that Draco had told him he would be able to use when he became a real cultivator, Rose’s next action had him taking a gulp.

“She can only be complaining about the restriction on the level of cultivation she is allowed to have in this world, and since she is willing to push herself and go for the extreme limits of her strength, it means she considers me much of a threat.

“So now it’s up to me to decide, do I have the ability to defeat her?”

Laughing in his head at his own stupid question, Seth’s qi rocketed, and a sea of darkness appeared behind him like he were a magician. Eyeing his red and fiery opponent, Seth smirked and tensed his legs. He smiled at the unhappy woman, licked his lips, and then shot towards her.

Rose snorted in her mind at Seth’s gesture and was about to also run towards him when she saw that a few steps into his run, the ground turned black. On the next step, Seth was suddenly carried up into the air by a wave of darkness.

“What is he up to with these little tricks of his?” Rose thought, her eyes narrowed.

Rising several meters in the air, Seth had the wave of darkness he was riding on move towards Rose. While the darkness moved a lot more slowly than him, the fact that ten more waves rose behind and beside him made up for his lesser speed, bringing about an intimidating nature. Unfortunately for Seth, his opponent wasn’t some random cultivator.

Not minding that Rose was unmoved by his approach, Seth had the several waves of darkness around him crash into the red-haired woman, saving himself for last. A multitude of plans on what to do depending on how Rose dealt with the waves flitted through Seth’s mind, but then his thoughts came to a halt when he saw Rose let herself and her fiery surroundings be swallowed by his darkness.

“What is she planning?”

Just as Seth’s thought went through his head, his eyes widened, and he jumped into the air, his feet leaving the high wave of darkness he was upon just as it was incinerated out of existence. Then a woman with a face filled with red, shining cracks sped up at him from below, the sword in her hand replaced by a spear.

The hungry raging fire from Rose’s spear reached Seth’s ears as Rose blasted herself towards him, chasing after his rising figure. Without a word, the woman’s face tightened, and she threw her spear at him, a loud shout leaving her mouth as the spear left her hand.

“Knowledge is power.”

Though most times several situations made these words out as nothing but nonsense, these words were the truth, and as he looked down at Rose, Seth was reminded of them. Deep in his being, Seth could feel that Rose was his to conquer. He had thought that despite reaching the Calamity stage, he would still be far out of Rose’s league, but now he felt otherwise. He felt that with his current powers, he should be able to handle Rose. Unfortunately, reality wasn’t conceding to theory.

Seth had the power, yes, but unfortunately, he couldn’t correctly use it. At first, Seth had thought Rose had easily dispersed his sea of darkness because of how little his qi saturated it, but right now, despite saturating his several waves of darkness with his qi, the woman had used her flames to incinerate it in the blink of an eye.

There was something about the Calamity stage that Seth was missing, and he knew that if he could just know it, all his troubles would be solved. Unfortunately, until further notice, that was not to be. Seth had tried using his Enlightenment Sphere, wanting to use one of his greatest cheats to understand what he lacked, but unfortunately, not counting his exhaustion of it during his time absorbing the immortal qi, there was also the fact that even with the little boost he had given it after fucking Jin, he was able to understand nothing after watching Rose.

Seth lacked knowledge, and as such, the appropriate power he should have wielded. Now Seth could only rely on the power of origin energy that had woken inside him and hope to end this battle quickly. Seth wasn’t sure about how much of it he had, but he did remember that the one time he had been told about it prior to today was because he had exhausted it, and Seth did not want to think about what would happen to him if he were to exhaust it before defeating Rose.

Watching the approaching spear, Seth sighed in his mind.

“This origin energy is something else; it’s too powerful. I just hope there isn’t some heavy repercussion for using it.”

As the spear approached, Seth’s aura skyrocketed, and his body was engulfed in a deep red glow. Usually, it was just qi in Seth’s body, but now there was origin energy, and as he pulled and filled his body with this energy, all his muscles roared with strength. With a grunt, his right hand shot out and grabbed the red raging spear, holding it at the shaft just before the blade could meet him.

Without a word, Seth’s hand tightened, and he shattered the bright red spear in his hand into tiny particles of energy. Seth looked down at Rose, and as much as he wanted to goad a little after seeing her clearly shocked expression, he was tight for time and didn’t want to risk running out of this ridiculous strength.

With a kick at the empty air, Seth shot forward, his departure leaving a foot-sized black dark space filled with cracks in the position he had kicked.

Seth’s body seemed to seize to exit after his kick, and then the next time he appeared, his palm was open and on Rose’s chest, smashing into the still shocked woman’s chest.
