Chapter 58: Seth Enters The Battle (2/2)

The prince thought it was lucky for Seth to have dodged his punch with that strange movement of his. He felt Seth appearing from behind, but his confidence on his superior strength made him opt for a counter-attack, instead of a defensive measure. Inside his mind, he would take that weak kick and use his reaction time to break the enemy's leg.

Bang!

However, things were totally different from his expectations. Seth's kick hit him hard on his back. The impact was so loud that people a kilometer away heard it.

The first prince was sent flying through the air, while spitting blood. He didn't receive a fatal injury, however he felt that at least three of his ribs were broken already.

Wu Shuhui realized his mistake, he was overconfident on the first prince and it had possibly costed him some fractures.

”Bunch of useless idiots, go attack him!” He bellowed while charging to help his student.

Seth saw that the other enemies started to make their moves, but he would not let this opportunity to deal with one of the strongest people here pass. He charged towards the place the first prince was sent flying and prepared his Mana energy to use the Darkness Cage, the skill he used on the Blackwind Panther.

The first prince had somehow stabilized his body when he saw Seth charging towards him. He took a defensive position while swallowing the humiliation from before. He felt an eerie energy encompassing his body from all sides. A sense of uneasiness spreading inside of him.

Seth controlled his darkness into sharp dagger-like spikes. They swiftly formed out of thin air, shooting towards the prince, from all sides. At the same time, he used his mana to create a thick black fog around the area.

The prince vision went entirely dark, the only thing he could see was the sharp glint of dagger-like objects threatening to pierce his entire body.

Without further ado, he used his strongest defensive martial skill.

”Tower Shield”

Taking a defensive stance and circulating his mana, he created a shield around his entire body. The shield was shaped as a cube with him at the center. It was one of the high defensive skills that Wu Shuhui used against Huo Shihong, however it was a variant. To build this protective shield he used a huge chunk of his total mana, easily depleting half of the mana he currently had.

Clink! Clink! Clink!

The daggers started to hit the shield from all sides. The quantity of daggers hitting the shield seemed to be in the thousands. Although so many daggers were hitting the surface of the barrier, none of them seemed to penetrate it.

The first prince felt relived after witnessing that his shield was effective. However, it was the effect that Seth desired to achieve since the beginning.

The daggers were a distraction and the real attack came from below. Dark spikes formed on the ground piercing the barries in a single second. It was where Seth concentrated most of his mana into.

When the first prince noticed the incoming threat, it was already too late. The spikes pierced his legs, creating a multitude of bloody holes on it.

Out of instinct he jumped backwards avoiding more damage, but when he landed, he knelt on the floor, as his legs were battered and could not support his body anymore. If this kept on going, he would be dead on the next attack.

The humiliation he felt now surpassed the one had felt after his teacher was insulted. He, a royal prince, was made to kneel before an enemy. This thought sent his mind into disarray, worsening his injuries further, since his blood was flowing wildly.

He was lucky that just at this time, Wu Shuhui had finally caught up to them.

Wu Shuhui waved his hands and a strong wind current blew the dark fog away, revealing the bloody figure inside a cubic broken Tower Shield. Seth's figure was nowhere to be found though.

The prince dispelled the shield as he saw his teacher approaching. Wu Shuhui put a hand on his chest, using his mana to stop the bleeding from flowing out of the prince's body. He was inwardly shocked though. In less than a minute, a powerhouse with the same power as him was reduced to this state.

He made sure to be extra cautious from here on.

The other cultivators were still trying to catch up with Wu Shuhui, but unknowingly, they were already stepping on the battlefield. Seth was prepared to bring them the darkness.
