BXBX NOVEL Chapter 20 Facing The Effects
Following Mira\'s words, a few tense seconds passed as they both stared at each other.
"She did all that cute behavior earlier just to get me to see her vulnerable and leave her alone, it\'s a shame I don\'t have the time to play with her." Seth thought.
Seth could already feel whatever high he was on fading away, the adrenaline and battle hunger was no more, little tingling sensations were beginning to appear on the burns and wounds all over his body, and a sharp ringing pain was also steadily building up in his left hand.
Seth\'s body had a ridiculous amount of stamina, strength, speed, and endurance, but it couldn\'t regenerate.
He had no intention of letting the effects of his injuries hit him when he was in the presence of another as that will just make him vulnerable and at the mercy of any enemy.
With a frown on his face, Seth walked towards the barrier, and with both middle and index fingers outstretched on both hands, he began hitting the barrier at different spots at an incredible speed.
On any other day, Seth would have been thrilled to have a chance to study a barrier and find a way to cleanly break through it, but right now, time wasn\'t his ally, he could already feel himself weakening and he seriously needed to get out of here.
Though he had no idea about the mechanism of the barrier seal before him, finding minor weak spots in the seal was a very easy task for him.
Normally, these weak spots had an almost negligible effect on the strength of the seal, but when these spots were hit with the mighty force of Seth\'s soul sense, the barrier began fracturing within seconds and then shattered.
Mira had been quite surprised when she saw Seth coming back, "did he defeat everyone in such a short period of time" Mira wondered.
Luckily, she was done preparing a barrier seal and had sealed the whole room in a barrier, and seeing the extent of Seth\'s injuries also served to assure her that Seth had exhausted his strength and was weakened which further reduced his already slim chance of breaking through the barrier.
She had been wearing a mocking smile on her face when she saw Seth begin attacking the barrier, but seconds later, a look of horror appeared on her face as she watched the barrier which she had painstakingly built fracture and then shatter.
Seth watched as Mira scampered backward away from him when the barrier scattered, but with a quick movement, Seth disappeared and appeared beside her in the room.
"What\'s your name "Seth asked with a hand clamped on her should keeping her in place, but all she did was stare back at him with a determined face.
Her fair skin, beautiful face, sizable bust, that faint delicious smell, and most importantly that fat juicy bouncy ass of hers, all came together to create a woman he really wanted to fuck.
"Sorry buddy," Seth thought to his twitching little brother, he had a very bad feeling about the incoming pain building up in him, and he really needed to get out of here.
Just as Seth was about to let her go, the faint delicious smell oozing off her flowed into his nostrils and stimulated a desire to possess her within him, acting on instinct, he pulled her closer to him and bit her on the neck.
Seth could feel two fangs extend out of his mouth as he bit into her soft flesh, blood flowed into his mouth and he drank it with relish.
The blood tasted like a light-flavored orange juice and after having some gulps, he retracted his mouth from her neck and let go of her arm.
Mira dropped to the ground in confusion when she was released, she couldn\'t stop gripping her neck as she crawled away from Seth.
With a lick of his lips, Seth turned away from her and walked towards the alter, fortunately when he had first teleported into the room he had studied the seal present, so of the little qi he still had, he poured it into the seal on the alter and with the help of the soul sense easily activated the seal and teleported away from the room in a bright white light.
…..
Around a normal looking rock pillar, there was calm silence when a bright white light suddenly appeared and then disappeared leaving behind a human figure.
When Seth appeared, he checked his location and observed that he had been sent back to the very same pillar which he had used to teleport to the room.
Without paying attention to anything around him, Seth immediately shot away in a black flash, Seth could already feel his body weakening and painful sensations appearing on different parts of his body.
Without much care for secrecy, Seth used every last drop of qi within him and pushed his soul sense to the limit as thick bolts of lightning appeared all over his body and his speed reached a never before height, but Seth didn\'t have the time to enjoy this, the pain within him had become more prominent and Seth had to put all his focus into moving.
The government forces had been scouring into the deep areas of the Longsam canyon in a bid to find the hammer gang, a 2nd stage general level cultivator had even been deployed to lead this team.
They had been searching this canyon for 2 weeks and had been unable to find any traces of them and this had everyone stressed.
The general level cultivator had been sent from a grade A city to come over to this remote area and track down the gang, he and his team had moved deep within the canyon, and other than the beast which kept on attacking them, they had found no clue on the gang so far.
The general level cultivator couldn\'t bear to report that he failed to apprehend such a low level gang, he was currently been in deep thoughts concerning his next move when he felt a small but strong spike of qi from the outer parts of the canyon, and without hesitation, he immediately rushed towards the direction of the qi spike.
The general level cultivator had been worried that he would have to shamefully report the failure of this mission, but after sensing this strong unknown qi, he felt his worries fade away, and with full confidence in his power to subdue its source, he moved towards it.
With his speed he rapidly closed the distance between him and the qi source and just when he was 500m away from it, he felt something sweep through him, something that immediately had him stopping and running away in the opposite direction like his life depended on it.
The general level cultivator was an experienced one and knew what he felt, it was soul sense, soul sense an ability wielded only by Kaiser level cultivators, the thought that he had been brashly moving towards a Kaiser with the intention to attack had him trembling in fear and pushing his speed to the max, he prayed to whatever deity that would listen to him that this Kaiser would think of him as nothing but fart and let him go.
Due to him focusing on getting himself out of the canyon and somewhere safe, Seth had only been able to sense the approaching general when he was 500 meters away, he could feel his blood immediately raring its head seeking battle but luckily this time reasoning won over, Seth\'s body was already in bad condition and even if it could get back into his previous battle state, he didn\'t want to imagine the backlash that awaited him after he won the fight.
Thinking Quickly, Seth diverted some of his attention and swept his soul sense over the approaching cultivator, and within seconds, he could feel the approaching cultivator quickly moving away from him.
"Thankfully my gamble paid off," Seth thought in relief.
After sensing the approaching cultivator, Seth had easily figured out that he was a general level cultivator and while soldier level cultivators didn\'t know better with most of them being unable to fathom the thought of facing the apex level of cultivation not to talk of knowing what a soul sense was, a general level cultivator knew better, they had spirit sense and thus would be able to feel the difference between spirit sense and soul sense.
"It seems this one might have already had an encounter with soul sense given how fast he ran away," Seth thought.
Within the next few minutes, Seth was out of the canyon and began heading toward the truck, but before he could reach it, his luck finally ran out as all the muscles in his legs cram up and pain poured into his body like water bursting out of a destroyed dam.
Unable to move his legs, Seth crashed into the ground and rolled forward 50 meters leaving a long deep ditch in his wake, he lay down in a mini carter of him making and began trembling all over.
Seth had been prepared to feel pain the likes of which he had never felt, but what came next terrified him, Seth could feel his own body begin to consume all the muscles and fat in him, he saw his arms gradually become so thin his bones showed, he couldn\'t help but let out an ear piercing scream from the combination of the dreadful sensation going through him.
Trembling and rolling all over, Seth had no control over his body, the scabs which had formed on his wounds peeled off and blood began abnormally flowing out in large quantities.
Anyone watching this scene would have seen a very skinny man who could be said to almost be made of only bones rolling around in blood filled crater, it was a scene straight out of a horror movie.
Through all this, Seth was barely able to hold on to his consciousness but it was all for naught as the next moment he felt hunger within him, a hunger which seemed to originate from the depth of his being, every single aspect about him screamed for food.
Seth struggled to keep a hold of himself but within seconds he lost consciousness but his body didn\'t, his eyes turned black while his pupils turned blood red and became slits, anyone looking into Seth\'s eyes at this moment will feel like he was staring at a hungry monster which was the exact truth.
With a loud beastly roar to the sky, Seth\'s body immediately shot off onto the distance with only one mission in mind, "FIND FOOD".
