Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

Chapter 317 Shadow Pool

?

Before Seth's eyes, the sun which had once been shining was no more, covered up by a veil of darkness that accompanied Minuha's qi spike.

Minuha's qi rose and fell several times before suddenly swelling so much that it spread all over and became akin to an explosion, washing over Seth and sending him stumbling backward.

"It even tried to poison me," Seth said with a chuckle, not having to do a thing as the qi passively moving in his body easily forced out Minuha's qi.

With the appearance of the darkness, a thick black shadow swept in and fused with the restrained Minuha, and immediately this happened, Seth lost control of the darkness around him, and by extension Minuha.

Immediately Minuha got back her freedom, she turned all black, easily shattering the ice wall behind her and freeing herself from the ice spike that had pinned her knees, and then she collapsed into a pool of black liquid and moved.

Here in the darkness, this was her world, she was invincible, and she planned to properly teach Seth a lesson.

Not wasting a moment, the black pool Minuha had transformed to quickly move toward Seth, the man seeming to be none the wiser, and then without making any sound, Minuha's figure rapidly rose from the pool, appearing beside Seth while her right hand reached for his neck.

With the night as her shield, Minuha had no fear as her hand closed in on Seth's neck, but then to her shock, she found her right hand collapsing immediately it got close to Seth, turning to a black liquid and then falling down.

Minuha had just barely gotten over this shock when Seth turned his head and confidently looked her in the eye, a sign that he could comfortably see through the pitch darkness that surrounded him.

"If using more and stronger shadows is all you can do with your immortal rank, then I have severally overestimated you."

With these words, Seth waved his hands at the sky, lazily watching as the veil which had blanketed the blue sky began collapsing, fading into the air and letting the sunshine once more on him and Minuha.

With caution, Minuha took a few steps back and looked Seth up and down.

"How, you are dealing with comprehensions that are removed from your cultivation level"

"I thought you believed in my potential" Seth chuckled.

During his journey from Ashad to Egaroth, he had traveled in pure darkness and been enamored by it, losing nearly all of his enlightenment sphere for a reason he didn't know.

It wasn't until Seth finally healed his soul that he could safely hear the whispers. 

What they said he couldn't particularly put in words, but somehow their whispers had taught him about darkness, their various murmurings helping him to comprehend darkness, giving him a link to the world.

Before Minuha combined with the rest of her shadows, she had been like a puppet to him and that was because of shadows.

Her shadows which she so easily controlled and could turn to was in the end still an aspect of darkness, and even though Seth couldn't replicate her actions, he could stifle the laws which made her ability possible, and in this way easily subdue her.

Well, that was in the past as the current Minuha qi was on a whole new level, one which Seth was actually trying to understand.

When he broke through to the Kaiser level, bits of his soul had become embedded into his body and qi, and while the same applied to Minuha, the problem now was that Seth could feel that there was something more to her qi.

He tried to grasp what it was, but couldn't make the slightest guess.

At the moment, Minuha had actually taken control of all the darkness around them, the only place impervious to her control being the 3-meter radius around him.

"Seeing as I can counter her shadow, this battle might just boil down to who had more qi," Seth thought, turning towards Minuha and silently watching as her form crumbed to a pool of shadows, the woman speaking no further words.

All became silent as Minuha's dark pool sunk into the ground, fending off the observations of his soulsense with her own soul sense.

Seth wanted to keep track of Minuha's shadowy movements, but before he could make any significant progress with his soulsense, he soon found himself surrounded by a much larger pool of shadows, and then without warning, jets of black arrows began firing from it, with dark human figures soon rising out and running towards him.

"How eerie" Seth calmly commented as he watched these arrows and black figures move towards him, but when they came within 3 meters of him, they began collapsing into their shadowy forms.

At first, Seth had on a bored look and lanky posture, but when Minuha's bombardment with dark clones, arrows, and newly added spears kept on for up to 5 minutes, he knew he had miscalculated.

While he burned his qi to destabilize and destroy Minuha's attack before they could reach him, the woman was simply making use of the shadows in the surroundings, cutting down her qi expenditure by more than half.

"O boy, I better manage this," Seth thought.

  With a flick of his hand, a sword appeared there, its body glowing with a red and deadly aura, and then without warning, Seth swung it to his right, aiming it at the place where he could feel most of Minuha's qi concentration.

Like with its previous owner, a blood-red sword beam flew out of the sword, and within a second hit the ground, digging into it and creating a resounding explosion whose flames rose up into the sky.

"Ahh that's nice," Seth said looking at the sword in his hand with a bit of appreciation.

With his current cultivation, the power of the attack he could release from the sword at the moment severely surpassed that which Zuroc could produce.
