Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

The pain that Seth had known seconds ago was gone, his anguish was gone, and his body was brimming with energy and though Seth was still standing within the throes of Alice's fire, he felt like he was in fresh calm water. 

With Rose deciding to retreat, Seth decided that rather than waste his energy and time trying to burn her with his flame, it was more worthwhile for him to get himself free. 

So with haste, he directed his dragon flames at his bindings and though the surrounding flames put up a bit of resistance, under Seth's flames, they shattered within seconds, and without hesitation, Seth kicked his feet and got out of Rose's garden of flames.

"This feeling, what kind of power is this? This power isn't new, it's like it's been in me, sleeping in me, but I didn't know I had something like this. Wait, it actually feels familiar. I can feel my brain scratching at something; I have felt this sensation before, but where," Seth thought as he moved through the battlefield.

Seth could see Rose and Tera in their new position, he could see them standing and staring at him, and while the thought to stand and confront them did surface in his mind, Seth decided it was better for him to actively be on the move and create more distance from the enemy. Though he had broken out of his prison of flames, Seth needed time to familiarize himself with the new energy and get his qi under control and the same should have been the same for his burnt body, but he found, to his amazement, that under the supervision of the new energy, his body healed nearly as fast as it was getting injured.

"I might just be immortal," Seth thought as he kept a vigilant look on Rose. Several hundred meters from Rose, Seth came to a stop and took in several deep breaths.

"God, that was close, I was actually going to die this time," Seth thought, but then his legs tensed, and a frown came to his face. 

With what had just happened, Seth's mind told him to hurriedly flee, but at the same time, his same mind and his entire body did not want to leave the battlefield. 

This conflict in thought created a situation where Seth was confused about what next to do. 

With him knowing nothing about his new strength and how long it would last, it would be in Seth's interest to take a step back and fight another day, but at the same time, Seth's battle-addicted mind wanted to fight and regain his dignity, and if it wasn't bad enough, the very energy that was flowing through him was at the moment also conveying its own desire for revenge.

"Not this again," Seth thought, annoyed at his inability to make a decision, but then when he saw Rose kick-off and charge him once more, his decision was made.

"I'm so going to beat some sense into you and teach you to respect your future husband," Seth shouted to the approaching woman. Throughout their fight so far, Rose had always kept a calm and undisturbed expression, her every action filled with finesse, but now, as she sped towards Seth, her tight expression and the billowing of energies around her were enough to tell anyone that she was now taking Seth quite seriously and might not be holding back.

"Did the husband remark tick her off?" Seth thought with a smirk. And seconds later, his grin went wider. 

"So I've finally caught up to her. I'm going to beat her so badly; whatever madness had taken control of her is going to go packing."

Rose had always been mysterious to Seth, the highest apex of power in his mind, a flower untouchable to him, but right now, as he saw her approaching, he knew and felt he could beat her. 

"Come and let me discipline you," Seth said, and though his voice was low, his words perfectly reached Rose as her eyes further narrowed and got colder.

With the speed of her movements, it didn't take Rose long to appear before Seth, then swing her red blade at Seth, aiming for his neck. Knowing that Rose wanted him dead, it was clear to Seth that Rose wanted him to once more put his word to use, but this time Seth had a better alternative.

As Rose's sword moved, where it should have met fierce steel or a neck, it met nothing and freely went by and while the sword owner was still being surprised by this situation, she found her right arm being put in a strong grip, and then she was pulled forward, her guts put in the path of a powerfully approaching knee.

Realizing her situation, Rose sent her qi raging, and the ground around her exploded in a storm of raging fire. But that did nothing to stop the naked man before her from ramming her in the guts, not once but twice.

"Seth was somehow immune to fire." This was a piece of information that Rose was only now realizing, but unfortunately for her, it wasn't the worst. She also scarily realized that both Seth's speed and strength were now off the chart. Being held in his grip, Rose found herself unable to budge his hold, and she found her eyes failing to see anything other than a blur when he moved.

" Arhhhh Se…." Rose wanted to scream after being hit twice in the gut and unable to retaliate, but then a hard punch had her swallowing back her words and instead spurting out blood. 

The unrivaled strength within himself, Seth could feel it, and he had every intention of unleashing it on Rose. It wasn't a matter of Seth hating Rose, but more of him venting his anger and, well, also disciplining the woman.

Unfortunately for Seth, his plans to keep Rose close were cut short as the familiar voice of Alexia screaming for help reached him. Then a powerful and familiar sword slash appeared and was heading for him.

Without hesitation, Seth kicked backward while bringing out his sword, raring up all the energies in him, ready to face this horrifying, deadly attack that had nearly killed him, but then, just before the attack could hit him, his expression twisted into a frown, and he grumbled under his breath while turning to Rose who was making sure to keep distance between the two of them after he had let her go.

"Stupid illusion."
