Chapter 78 Incomplete Laws
Seth quickly circulated his qi to his profusely bleeding right arm and stopped the flow of blood, but a second later his instinct screamed out in alarm, and just as he tried moving as far away from Jinkins as possible, he caught the shadow of another tiger cub behind going for his right leg, and exerting pressure on his legs, Seth canceled the backward spring he had been preparing his legs for and forced himself to swerve to the left, once again barely dodging this new cub, but still getting grazed and grievously wounding.
The addition of another grievous injury to his leg had Seth sending qi to the affected area, and this caused a drastic reduction in the speed of qi circulation in his body and the movement of his physical body, it was at this moment that Seth knew he was in big trouble.
With cute cries coming out of them, Seth watched as two more cubs appeared and joined the two others to quickly jump at him, he swerved out of the way of the attacking tigers, this time completely evading them and suffering no injuries, but a kick to his head reminded him that the tiger cubs were just the manifestations of his still present enemy\'s attack.
The kick to the head had Seth\'s vision swimming, but he still managed to move out of the way of the tiger cubs who seeking to blow him up.
Every movement of Seth involved calculations that would put some veteran fighters to shame, with his right hand out of commission, Seth was left using his left arm to lessen Jinkin\'s blows and kicks and then marching through the agonizing pain from his left leg, he moved out of the way of the vicious tiger cubs.
"boooom",
Seth had just been sent into the ground again, but he didn\'t waste a second to flip himself up and defend against Jinkins follow up attacks, he didn\'t know why he had resorted to using only his hand and legs against him when he could have swiftly dealt with Seth using qi attacks, but he wasn\'t going to complain about this fortune.
Seth\'s heart had been beating harder, his blood pumping faster and faster through his body, with his awareness having been increased and his energy replenished, once again, Seth\'s body had been enhanced some time ago but he had no idea of this as he focused on keeping himself alive.
Jinkins had gone from having a good day to having a troublesome day and now he was having a terrible day.
Jinkins had first had some designs on this mysterious genius, but watching a solider level cultivator stand up to him and beat him so hard that he had to begin using his pseudo-laws had him considering his plans for Seth.
Jinkins desired to find out the source of Seth\'s mysterious strength, but right now this same man was handling both him and his tiger cubs despite the grievous injuries he had been inflicted with, and it was now that he understood why Amelia was so wary and perhaps even scared of him.
Gaining a grasp on laws was a game changer for any cultivator, and it was usually 3rd stage solid Kaiser cultivators that wielded this power, but Jinkins while still a 2nd stage Kaiser had gotten a grasp on one of the laws albeit an incomplete one, but it still labeled him one of the greatest geniuses of the earth, but meeting Seth had tempered his ego, he had used his incomplete fire law to create the tiger cubs, hoping to quickly incapacitate Seth, but the boy\'s endurance was just ridiculous, and worst of all he didn\'t seem to tire.
Using the fire law even if incomplete was a massive drain on Jenkins qi and he needed an incredible amount of concentration to control the cubs, so he couldn\'t bombard Seth with any more qi attacks and was forced to fight him in close combat.
"Is it worth it?" Jenkins asked himself, he had been skeptical about Amelia\'s claims of Seth resurrecting, but watching the incredible scene before him, thoughts of Seth pulling off another miracle and escaping him only to return another day way much stronger began hunting his mind, and giving into his fears and forsaking the treasures he could get off Seth, Jinkins decided to kill Seth, and unlike Amelia who went for his heart, he was going to eradicate him completely.
Seth had just moved backward and blocked another kick from Jinkins when another tiger cub ran at him, and with a stamp of his feet, he moved out of its way, but when he turned around, he realized that all four tiger cubs were running towards him at the same time and in the same direction, something which had never happened before.
Seth felt alarm bells ringing in his head, and the next instant he felt their qi fluctuate chaotically, a prelude to an incoming explosion, and cornered in such a tight situation with no other option, Seth used the only long-range attack his body could deliver, hoping it would be enough for the deadly attack that was to come.
"Rooaaaarr" Seth roared, but this time a torrent of pitch-black flames came out of his mouth and then collided with the tiger cubs which exploded.
Some seconds after the collision, Seth\'s flames tore apart Jinkins approaching explosion and hit Jinkins who was desperately trying to get out of the way of the approaching torrent.
Present time…
"That was surprising, "a banged-up figure said.
Seth wasn\'t lying when he said those words, Jinkins last attack contained the most terrifying qi he had ever felt from any living being, it even outclassed mama Slowly\'s by a very wide margin, yet his dragon fire had totally decimated this attack, and then its owner.
Ignoring the crawling Jinkins, Seth walked over to Amelia and stretched out his right hand to her which she took after some seconds and stood up, her plans to flee now a pipe dream as Seth took her in his arms.
Seth looked into her eyes which showed traces of fear but a fierce determination.
"You won\'t beg or apologize," Seth asked,
"I did what was necessary" Amelia gritted out.
Seth smiled at her as his hands moved and began grabbing her juicy buns, well I might have rejected your contract but that doesn\'t mean you should deny mine right" Seth asked as his hands moved further down and touched her bare thigh and then moved back up, but this time going under her short skirt and going for a direct feel.
"You\'re going to spare me just like that," Amelia asked, her somewhat tense body relaxing in relief from both Seth\'s words and his working hands.
"Yes "Seth replied, keeping Amelia alive was currently important to him at the moment.
Amelia was quite baffled at the existence of this man, here he was with a limp, injuries all over his body, yet he had a woman who had killed him or well attempted to kill him held to his chest while he fondled her ass.
"Is his madness the price for his power" Amelia wondered not knowing her guess was almost on track.
"What does this contract entail," she asked.
"Basically you become my slave," Seth said with a grin.
