BXBX NOVEL Chapter 180 Handover Of Power
"My name is Xulutrantulis".
"Did you say something?" Seth said, raising his head as he could have sworn he had heard the translator speak yet hadn't understood a thing.
"My name is Xulutrantulis" the translator repeated, earning himself the expression of flabbergasted Seth.
"Okay Xulu," Seth said, and when he saw the man about to correct him, Seth stared at him with narrowed eyes, shutting him up.
"Here take this and wear on your neck and beneath your clothes," Seth said handing over the necklace to Xulu.
"What is this sir," Xulu asked, staring at the cheap-looking necklace, but all his question earned him was Seth's blank stare.
Realizing that Seth had no intention of replying to him, Xulu hesitantly brought the necklace closer to his neck to put it on, he could feel a heavy presence within the necklace and wanted to refuse Seth, but watching Seth's unmoving expression, coupled with his previous killings, Xulu gritted his teeth and did as he was told.
Xulu placed the necklace on his neck, and just like how Seth had commanded he put it beneath his clothes and then looked up at Seth nervously.
"I can feel something," Xulu said already beginning to sweat, and about to tremble.
"I know, don't resist it, relax and embrace whatever it is you feel," Seth said, but his words didn't bring about the calm he had hoped to bestow.
"Please sir, my wife and child" Xulu stuttered, and Seth could almost see tears in his eyes.
"What about them?"
"I can't leave them, please I don't want to die" Xulu begged, he wasn't a cultivator, yet he was smart enough to know how cruel cultivators could sometimes be, sure Seth had been murdering people at random, but he was also one of those people that desperately need Seth's help to get to the inner walls.
"You won't die, just do as I told you, I promise you won't die," Seth said, a serious look on his face as he looked into the eyes of the Xulu.
Hearing Seth's words, Xulu nodded his head and did as firming up his will, did as Seth instructed, needing up to a minute to finally accomplish his task as he then began rubbing his head.
"I feel like there is something in my mind".
"Because there is, think about your right hand being on fire," Seth said, grabbing the man's hand and hiding it from the crowd that was behind him.
"Okay" Xulu hesitatingly nodded his head, but immediately he did as Seth told him to, he was barely able to suppress a scream, Seth's tight grip on his hand the only thing that prevented him from jumping backward.
"My hand isn't burning "Xulu muttered staring at his flaming hands in wonder.
"Switch of the flames," Seth said, and before Xulu could ask him how the thought had already gone through his mind and the burning flames on his hand went off.
"When you go back, you'll take your family and the pregnant lady and join up with the crowd, whenever there is an attack, just think of creating the protective dome I made earlier and the rest will take care of itself".
"Manipulating the dome and the fire would be under your control, but I will caution you to be wise on how you use it as the energy within that necklace is limited," Seth said, Xulu nodding his head in understanding.
"Any questions?"
"Where will you be".
"Fighting the enemy" Seth replied looking at him with an annoyed look.
"While I fight the enemy, you must lead the crowd to move towards the inner walls as fast as possible, there is a chance that if any mishap happens to you it won't be able to help, so be on alert and mind how you use it".
"Yes sir," Xulu said and immediately left when Seth waved him off, though the slight skip in the man's steps had Seth questioning his decision.
Done making his arrangements, Seth began walking forwards, the crowd following behind him after Xulu made a few more arrangements, but this time, more than 10 minutes passed and they had come across no enemy.
"Aren't they worried we might be an approaching army in disguise?" Seth thought turning to stare back at the crowd, but after observing the people behind him, he had to agree with the scouts of the enemy that only an idiot will suspect the people behind him of being soldiers, but then again Monwac cites soldiers might be good actors.
They continued their walk uninterrupted for 20 more minutes till they could now see the inner wall, the inner city's barrier surprisingly still taking heavy bombardments.
Seth watched the barrier continuously flicker in and out of existence but held firm, baring no cracks despite the multiple attacks it was being hit with, and seeing this sight, he couldn't help but acknowledge Monwac city's abilities in sealing, though he couldn't help but wonder how the city's main wall had been so easily breached.
Seth's admiration ended moments later as he stared up ahead, red and black appearing in his hand as he walked faster, his pace undisturbed by the slight rumble of the ground.
Seth could feel tingles in his body, multiple tingles all over him, tingles that represented his excitement, and this was a feeling he hadn't felt in some time.
The thought of him alone being surrounded by enemies from every direction thrilled him, and he could almost imagine the multiple attacks that would be heading for him, each one of them forcing him to break his limits and keep track of them all, and then the burns and cuts which would come when he fell short.
With a wide grin on his face, Seth quickly moved to make contact with the enemy, but the first thing to make contact with him was not the enemy but dozens of huge rocks lit on fire and rapidly falling from the sky, heading for him and the crowd behind him.
