BXBX NOVEL Chapter 304 Drilling Holes
"Great, now I need to work on controlling the output," an annoyed voice said
With a sigh, Seth moved towards one of the dead victims lying on his right and then lifted his right hand and pointed his index finger at the corpse.
A second later, a bright red beam shot out of Seth\'s finger and smashed into the chest of the corpse, creating another finger-sized hole in the body.
"No still too much qi, need to reduce the input, or perhaps why don\'t I use my soulsense to compress the attack."
Various ideas on how to go about optimizing his finger beam attack flowed into Seth\'s head, and Seth not minding the little stunt that had happened earlier or the various eyes that were watching him, went about making several more holes in the unfortunate corpse.
A few seconds passed and Seth was just about to create the 7th hole in one of the corpses when one of the people hiding jumped out.
"Don\'t you dare" a thick voice sounded.
Seth stopped his next attack and looked up at the man in front of him, only taking note of his prominently squashed nose and fierce expression before looking down at the man from his head to his feet and the suddenly firing of another beam.
"Oh, look at that, you both have similar noses, you must be related," Seth said looking back at the man, but immediately he finished his words, the man sped toward him with a howl, only to collapse midway to Seth, a fist-sized hole in his head
"Forgot to control it again" Seth muttered and then went back to drilling holes into corpses.
It wasn\'t that Seth took any sick delight in putting holes into dead people and staining the ground with their blood, it was just that the people Milli had led him to were all duds.
The men around him were all level 7 mortal, and those who surrounded him from the trees were all at lower levels.
Seth had thought Milli was going to lead him to some hot cake, but instead, the woman had led him to this group of miscreants who had thought it was smart to use illusions on him.
From beginning to end, Seth\'s soul sense had easily seen through their tricks, and he really wasn\'t amused by it. Without stress, he had destroyed the team that had tried to sneak up on him while believing that he had been caught in their illusion
Now seeing as his plan to be led to the hot cake had failed, Seth decided to instead bring them to him, hence he went about drilling holes in dead bodies.
Seth\'s logic was simple, whoever these dead guys on the floor were, Seth was sure that among the people observing him for the trees, they had colleagues, friends, and as even proven earlier relatives.
By desecrating their bodies in this way, Seth was stimulating these related people to beckon their superior to quickly arrive at the scene.
…..
Seth had just about started drilling holes in the third corpse when the air suddenly went static, a tingling sensation running across his skin.
A second after this sensation hit, Seth quickly took two steps backward, dodging the figure of Milli which was bursting out of the ground with a dagger in hand, posed to pierce from beneath his head.
Seth\'s eyes narrowed as he was surprised by the attack, his soul sense intensified as he tried to get an idea of his surroundings but as information of his surroundings flowed into his head, Seth released that he had been duped.
The figure of Milli that had just appeared wasn\'t real, what he had called a little trick had been able to deceive him.
Secondly, the tingling sensation which had greatly contributed to him believing Milli was the one attacking him was fake and just an effect of the lighting containing Milli qi being flooded around him, the qi rising from around the area where he had been ambushed.
The illusion which he had looked down upon had now been used to perfectly deceive him and move him into position, a position that he could actually get out of, but in the end decided to reward the rebels for their hard work and stay in place as he was blasted by an actual canon.
With truly impressive speeds, the cannonball appeared in front of Seth, and with a smile on his face, Seth reached out his right hand and caught the ball.
"I see," Seth said a second after catching the ball, and just a second later, the ball went up in a powerful explosion that swept throughout the surrounding, this time truly blasting apart the ground and every other thing in its part for nearly a mile.
In the middle of the explosion stood Seth alive but unlike with the illusionary explosion, he was not in pristine condition, his preferred clothing had been a long sleeve plain white shirt with black buttons running down them, black trousers, and shoes.
Now after the explosion, Seth was overall very okay, but the sleeves of his right hand were no more and blood was dripping from the palm of his still-outreached hand.
"When do your superiors plan on coming out, right now this is just annoying" Seth growled out, opening and closing his hands, satisfied as the tear on his palm quickly healed.
"You won\'t survive past today" a soft voice sounded, Milli\'s form appearing as she walked out from behind a trees which were around him.
She sneered at him and then lowered her posture, her two daggers held in front of her.
"I don\'t care what plan you have, but I won\'t let you succeed," Milli said as she fired up her will and then stupidly charged toward him.
That he had just killed off a few level 7 mortals as enough reason for at least a level 9 mortal to come charging, yet here he was still facing a level 7 mortal, a suicidal one at that.
"Did I severely overestimate these rebels" Seth wondered, preparing to send the busty woman to her grave, but then there was a huge explosion from behind him and numerous ice spikes began jutting out of the ground causing chaos among the cultivators who were hiding in the trees around him, and another ice spike driving out of the ground and shooting towards Milli.
"Irene, what are you doing here," Seth asked, not needing to turn around to see her.
