Chapter 315 Can't Defeat Her
"You can stop," Seth said after closely watching Irene for a while, his words making the woman pause just as she was about to thrust her spear once more and turned to him.
In Irene\'s eyes, Seth didn\'t see resentment, anger, or hurt, all he saw was expectance, one which Seth wasn\'t exactly sure how to react to so he kept a stoic expression.
"Not bad" Seth tried, deciding not to be all cold.
"I\'m sorry, this is the best I could do," Irene said, bowing her head, Knowing that the pain she had caused Minuah was far from what Seth had done.
Standing there covered with a little hunch in her posture, her clothes covered in both her and Minuha\'s blood, Irene made for a pitiful sight.
"Are you okay?" Seth asked, and though he didn\'t wish to, a wisp of emotion leaked into his voice and had Iren looking up at him with brighter eyes and a bit of hope.
"Yes, I\'m good" Irene replied.
Seth nodded to Irene\'s words, and then looking away from her, while staring at Minuha whose head was bent over, her hair falling and covering her face, he spoke.
"Then quickly get going" Seth crispy and simply said.
"No Seth, why, I\'ll do better, I can torture her better," Irene said, her voice cracking as she raised her spear."
"I said you should leave" Seth lazily said, and though his voice came out in a drawl, his soul sense which rested over her was enough to make her pause her actions and look towards him with a tremble.
"Seth please, I\'m sorry, I truly love you, when Minuha revealed to me her power and threatened to kill me, I was scared for my kids.
She promised that she actually needs you alive and wouldn\'t harm you, and that\'s why I…" Irene said, unable to finish her words as she moved and stood two steps from Seth, her eyes close to bleeding the first drops of tears.
"Irene stop this, why are you even here? If you\'re worried I\'ll kill you, then be rest assured that I won\'t.
Whether or not you truly love me doesn\'t matter because, in the end, I don\'t love you.
Whether or not you gain my forgiveness won\'t change a thing or truly affect your life." Seth pointed out.
"That\'s a lie, we will just be abandoning our future" she vehemently replied.
"Oh, oh, "Seth thought in his mind, realizing that he might have been too careless.
Using Alice as a reference, Seth had placed Irene in the same category, taking her as someone who would understand that there was never any hope of having him and that them being together for love was impossible.
A bit of migraine on how to deal with the situation popped into Seth\'s mind, but he easily pushed it away, reminding himself that he had other things to talk about.
"Concerning the two of us, our relationship, and our feelings, we\'ll talk about it later okay," Seth said looking Irene straight in the eye.
Irene was reluctant to Seth\'s words, but even she realized their current situation and nodded her head.
"The rest of Minuha\'s shadows will soon be here, and when they come, she\'s most likely be boosted into the immortal rank.
With your actions, you should know she won\'t spare you, so it will best if you get going, I won\'t be able to protect you and fight her at the same time."
With his words, realization dawned in Irene\'s eyes, and she nodded her head, but didn\'t move.
"You\'re many things and though I truly love you, Seth, but the truth is you can\'t defeat her"
"I\'ll destroy her," Seth said in a calm tone and with a smile
"if you\'re that adamant, then I\'ll believe you," Irene said letting Seth\'s smile infect her and then she shot off.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, destroy me, you\'ve really become arrogant darling."
"Torturing me, and even wanting to destroy me, an immortal" Minuha said, her voice bleeding with anger and rage, but suddenly it turned soft.
"But don\'t worry. I\'ll discipline you, and when I\'m done, you\'ll be a good boy" Minuha said, a smile appearing on her face as her eyes went all dreamy.
"Perhaps we should have another go," Seth said, raising his right hand with his index finger pointing at Minuha.
"No, no Seth, don\'t do that, I was just playing with you" Minuha begged, a forced smile on her face while her eyes were filled with fear.
"I wasn\'t asking."
With those words, Minuha soon found herself drowned in another world of pain, her receptors going haywire and her body screaming for relief.
About two minutes later, the foreign qi which had invaded Minuha finally left on its own, giving the woman the relief she so desired and leaving her breathing heavily.
"Until I tell you otherwise, you\'re not allowed to laugh or smile, is that clear?"
With his eyes narrowed and not even needing to pressure her with his soulsense, Minuha quickly nodded.
Seth was just about to close his eyes and relax for the upcoming battle when Irene spoke once more.
"How about we have some fun before I recover my full strength and discipline you."
Though Seth remained silent, Minuha went on.
"I would say you should bring your big boy here…" Minuha said opening her mouth and stretching out her tongue provocatively," but I know you\'re scared."
"So how about you go straight to the main course," She said wiggling her butt however little she could give her restraints.
To her temptations, Seth gave no reply, staying silent.
That the woman was still bold enough to cheerfully talk to him and tease him wasn\'t surprising, after all, she was a supposed immortal rank cultivator and there was no way such a powerhouse would easily fold to torture.
Seeing Seth keep silent, Minuha pouted and then went about humming, her voice cheerful till Seth suddenly spoke.
"Why are you so obsessed with me, despite everything I have just done to you, not once have you talked about killing me.
What do you want from me?"
Minuha looked at Seth, a smile on her face and then she licked her lips.
"I want you because of what you are," Minuha said, about to laugh, but then she caught herself, letting her feelings of excitement and tease show through her eyes.
