BXBX NOVEL Chapter 258 Scurrying Around
Turn around and head back to Zuroc's camp without tipping him off, this was Seth's new plan, but how could a powerful commander like Zuroc be so daft.
Immediately Seth began moving all wobbly, Zuroc knew something was up and kept vigilant, and by the time Seth began making the final turns to begin heading towards his camp his mind almost immediately predicted Seth's plan, and like he had just been slapped on the face, his face twisted in anger, and his red miasma began coming off his body.
With the red miasma, Zuroc's body seemed to be shrouded in flames, and though Seth couldn't see the change, he could feel the rising qi behind him.
In the course of preparing this move, Zuroc's speed fell a little and Seth made some distance from him but this didn't bother Zuroc.
Doing his best to keep Seth in his sights, Zuroc pursued Seth while still working on his miasma.
Seconds went by, and while Seth was glad to be given the time to cover a lot of the distance between him and the camp, he refused to believe that at this point Zuroc hadn't yet figured out his plans and that he was letting him move as he pleased.
A frown on his face, Seth turned around and looked into the air, surprise on his face when he didn't see Zuroc, but this surprise didn't last as alarm quickly came over Seth's face when he observed the bubbling mass of liquid wh9och contained Zuroc raptly flying after him and now picking up speed.
Not needing anyone to tell him, Seth easily deduced that the red thing pursuing after him was created by Zuroc, and with the amount the qi it was giving off, one could already figure out that dealing with it wasn't going to be easy.
Not having much of an option, Seth increased his speed, hoping that he could arrive at the camp before Zuroc was done with whatever attack he was creating.
Barely a second had passed before Seth's hope was extinguished as a loud whizzing sound from behind him, and he saw what looked like a blood-red flare fly high above him in the ground and hit the ground far ahead.
The blood-red shooting flare had barely landed when two more came flying overhead, and before Seth knew it the sky was filled with multiple red flares.
It looked like a meteor shower except that it looked like blood-red flames and it was some kind of attack which Seth unfortunately found himself as the target of.
All around him, blood-red flames were falling to the ground, and when Seth looked to the back, he noticed the same thing, and as he looked back, he didn't fail to notice Zuroc's figure now in the sky, the man calmly following behind.
With his speed, it didn't take long for Seth to quickly reach the spots where the red flare had landed, and as he did, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks and stare at the path ahead of him.
Rather than just falling to the ground and crushing patches of it, the red flares instead behaved like gas can's, as they began rapidly spilling out red miasma.
All around Seth, he could see this red miasma spilling in all directions and rapidly approaching him.
it didn't take Seth long to realize that he had been trapped in the center of the red smoke, and now having no idea what came next, he turn to look up at Zuroc, hoping he would shed some light.
"This battle has been a disappointment and I no longer have the time to play with you anymore".
"Just go in and die" Zuroc lazily said," but if you can't even do that, you're welcome to help me sharpen my accuracy," he said, lifting his heavy sword which gradually turned red.
Go into the miasma or not.
While Seth had no idea, what the miasma was going to do to him, he at least knew what Zuroc's slashes were going to do, so he decided to fight the evil he knew.
Seth raised his halberd and looked up at Zuroc.
With a smile, Zuroc began swinging his sword down at Seth, and with each swing, a long blood-red sword slash came falling shooting at Seth.
Though his halberd didn't' have the ability to fire off beams or slashes like his Sword staff, Seth could still run his qi through it and he didn't hesitate to do so.
Now with his weapons tenacity bolstered by his qi, Seth raised his halberd and began swinging at the red slashes that fell on him.
Being extremely wary of the red miasma due to Zuroc's absolute confidence in it, Seth decided to stand his ground and resist the man's attack while he tried to figure out how to survive his current predicament.
For the first attacks, Seth easily cut in apart with his halberd even though he was sent skidding back, but about a minute later, Seth's hand began vibrating as he blocked the nest slashes.
A few minutes later, Seth could feel his hands in pain, and the next time he blocked the man's attack, he had to quickly move out of the way as the head of his halberd came flying off and he was left with a short staff.
"So it wasn't just me making a mistake, huh, you actually can't fly."
"Your qi has neither a spirit nor a soul, you're still a level 3 mortal aren't you," Zuroc said closely watching Seth.
He had noticed a few discrepancies with Seth's qi before but had written it off due to its strength, but right now watching Seth pitifully resist his attacks and still not try to fly, Zuroc's mind fell back to this previous thought.
"Are you truly a level 3 mortal" Zuroc asked, but other than to silently look up at him, Seth gave no reply.
Seeing Seth being quiet Zuroc could only shake his head and watch Seth, no longer attacking him.
The reason Zuroc had even begun attacking Seth with his slashes was out of caution.
The man didn't want to give Seth the time to think and come up with some tragedy.
Zuroc was also wary of Seth suddenly shooting up in the sky and trying to fly away, but now there was no need to fret, after all he had delayed Seth long enough, and right now he was finally being submerged in the red miasma.
For an abnormality like Seth, Zuroc was more than willing to use his deadliest attack.
