Chapter 193 Exhaustion
Did he deserve their praise, Seth didn't know, and he didn't care, all he knew was that rather than their screams, he would prefer if they showed their appreciation in the form of four female Kaiser waiting for him in bed.
At the moment, the enemy soldiers were confused, stumped on how to deal with the situation they were currently facing.
On one hand, they had Seth killing them off, and then on the other hand, there were also the civilians that were up and screaming, riling Seth to go on with his massacres.
For a moment, the soldiers were without purpose, but this didn't last long as the next minute, they rose their weapons and began killing the civilians, their new orders having been given.
At this time, Seth could have been said to be in a state of bloodlust as he had begun killing without pause, walking into attacks that injured him, only to survive through them and then feed on his recent attackers to heal his injuries.
Seth was like a beast on the battlefield, but then the loud screams which began leaving the mouth of the civilians snapped him out of his daze, his blood-soaked form finally coming to a stop as he gazed at the latest move of the enemy.
When he had noticed the enemy rounding up the civilians and holding them in several separated groups, Seth had felt relief, glad that his work had been made easier as all he needed to do at the moment was kill without care, but now he was stumped on what to do.
At present, Seth was at about 20% of his original strength, and unless he somehow got access to the blood of a powerful Kaiser, this wasn't going to change.
Seth had lost the number of times he had been cut or pierced in this battle, he was no longer an all-powerful or untouchable enemy, right now what he was, was an inexhaustible and undying one.
Sometimes he charged head-on into attacks, receiving injuries for his recklessness, but was rewarded with an off-guard enemy and a body to either kill or feed on, the cycle only repeating itself as with each time he fed, he healed his injuries and went at it again.
This while not a good method of fighting was Seth's only available method of fighting, and while it served him well to take care of the canon fodders that had been offered put to him, Seth knew his current strength was far from enough for him to stop the massacre that was occurring.
Knowing his efforts would only be in vain, Seth kicked off the ground and running as fast as he could, brushed off the enemies in his path and headed for the civilians.
Seth had just arrived close to one of the groups and was now killing off the horde of soldiers that surrounded them when a flash suddenly went by him and he found all the soldiers around him set ablaze.
"(come to me)" Seth heard a familiar voice which could only belong to Xulu cry out from among a group of civilians which was not too far from the one he had been trying to save.
Seth looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes just able to catch a blue flame rising up and the blue dome being formed once more.
Though the appearance of the dome surprised Seth, in the end, he didn't put much thought into the reason for its initial disappearance, instead spending his time observing it and taking note of its now fragile state.
The appearance of the blue flames temporarily caused a kind of pause on the battlefield, both enemy soldiers and civilians dumbfounded as they stared at the large areas of blackened earth which had once been occupied by hundreds of men.
With all the soldiers who had been attacking him burnt to death and the still alive ones who were far off in the distance unsure of moving closer to him or the civilians, Seth wavered on his feet and eventually fell down on his butt, a sense of loss embracing him.
Seth requested his failing condition, just able to glimpse at his now dot-sized enlightenment sphere before the woes of metal exhaustion and delusions caught him in their grip.
"What is life?" Seth pondered,
"Why am I here?"
"God am so tired, I just want to sleep, or eat, no sleep first, I want to sleep forever"
"Why did I ever come here, I should never have entered Ashad, I should have listened to Alice and stayed with her"
"Oh Alice soft breasts, ahhh Adriana's thick ass"
"Will I survive to see them?" Seth thought, his head lifting up and staring at the few civilians who hadn't run back into the dome, his eyes moving to the inner city gates when he noticed these few stragglers staring at the gate and screaming with a smile.
Seth could see the gates of Monwac City opening, but that just didn't motivate him.
Hundred of soldiers flooded out of the city gates and then begin attacking the remaining enemy soldiers, while the blue dome did not waste a second to begin moving for the gate.
'All alone', at this point Seth was left all alone.
Seth looked away from the ensuing battle and stared at the sun which was now on its way to sunset, its light rays flooded his eyes, giving him a moment of clarity, but that didn't last long as his mind was once again ensnared by a certain heaviness some seconds later
Seth quietly and subconsciously watched the war, his eyes randomly moving around and then stopping at the figure of powerful cultivators who had suddenly popped up from the side of eth enemy, the presence of these cultivators changing the tide of this battle and sending Monwac city soldiers on a constant retreat.
"Hopefully they make it into the city".
This thought had just barely entered Seth's head when a shadow fell upon him, its sudden appearance only earning a twitch from Seth as he felt no need to react further when his instincts made no call for action.
Well, that was until he was hit with a fierce slap to the cheek.
"What the hell are you doing sitting here" a very familiar but not usually fierce and commanding voice sounded in Seth's ear.
"Uhhh" Seth groaned, pushing himself to his feet with a stumble, his mind fazing in and out of clarity.
"What do you want Dilise" Seth grumbled rubbing his aching head as he tried to bring his mind back in order.
