Chapter 219 Sacrifice



"Roaaaar" an Otherworldly beastly sound left Seth's throat along with the torrent of flames, shooting in a straight line and smashing into the window in front of him.

For about a second, the flames were held back by the seemingly fragile window, but in no time, the sharp screeching sound of glass shattering was heard and the window was blasted apart.

The screeching sound came from the barrier which had been placed on the building and by proxy the window being destroyed, and with it now gone, Seth should have seized his attack and bolted out, but he didn't.

ραпdα---nᴏνa| сom The window was destroyed and his whole body was now being hit by sunlight, but Seth didn't let up on his flames, instead, he bent his knees a little and took up a firmer stance, increasing the intensity of his flames.

After breaking through the window and being let into the outside world, the red torrent sailed through the air like a comet, arrogantly charging forth, only for it to find its path suddenly stopped by the air.

The past times Seth had come to this window, he always observed the outside and during his observation took note of the defenses that enforced the building he resided in.

The barrier on the wall had been well hidden, but in the end, he had found it, and though if one had thought that was all there was to this building's defenses, they would be wrong.

After screwing Irene the whole last night, Seth had been more than generous in his use of the enlightenment sphere to survey the surroundings and pick up on the second hidden barrier which hung outside, a distance from the building. 

Seth's flame seemed to have been stopped by the bare air, but this didn't bother Seth, as a few seconds later, a blue barrier appeared in the air, rapidly flickering in and out of existence.

Within seconds there was an explosion, and over 6 meters hole occupied the position where Seth's attack had hit.

"We're leaving" Seth warned, bending down and tensing his legs, and with a powerful leap jumped through the hole in the wall and into the sky, heading for the hole he had made in the second barrier.

With the window's limited view, Seth's knowledge of the outside was limited to the things he could see, so as he soared through the sky, he looked down and rapidly began scanning his surrounding, quickly creating a profile on his surroundings.

Turning his head around and glancing to the side, Seth took in the sight of his previous habitat.

A structure that could best be described as a short tower, possessing just 4 floors, this building was a structure that was easily dwarfed by the other buildings surrounding it, but what him calling it a towered were its round body and pointy top.

Perhaps a station could be a more appropriate name for it Seth wasn't sure and moved on to check the other buildings.

Before he escaped, Seth had thought the lack of noise or sounds from outside his room was caused by the barrier around the building not letting sound in, but one look at his neighborhood and he knew his guess was wrong.

Like a sad lonely child, the towered stood in a quiet and deserted street, surrounded by towering buildings and devoid of civilians.

A quick scan around and Seth observed that everywhere within the second barrier he had destroyed was deserted, no sign of life, just tarred empty streets.

Done drawing a rough outline of his immediate surroundings, Seth looked forwards, staring into the hole he was heading for and wondering what scene lay behind it.

All these were happening within seconds, Seth's form was like a blur in the sky as it headed for the hole, but before Seth could reach the hole his head snapped to the side.

Several flashes of light soared in the air, heading towards him at blinding speeds, and Seth now wasting a second thought, reacted almost instinctively.

His hand shot out and grabbed Irene's left shoulder, and not even minding the woman's little struggles, he pulled her off his back, dragging her weak frame to his front, and then placing her back to his, he held her from under her knee and wrapped his body around her.

With no space ring or weapons, and Seth unable to fly, Seth was left with the option of either shouldering the attacks or letting Irene take them, and in the end, Seth took the former.

Seth directed every qi he had running in his body to his back, hoping to put up a defense and reduce the damage he would take, but it was all for naught as seconds later a muffled scream left his mouth.

Seth couldn't see it, but he could feel his body being impacted by powerful attacks multiple times, and he could feel his flesh being torn through, and his blood pouring out.

Thankfully they had just been a few seconds from crossing into the hole when the canons began firing, so with the addition of the force from the impact of the attack, Seth and Irene were almost immediately propelled through the hole, avoiding the several more intensive wave of attack that followed.

Now safely through the hole, it felt like Seth had teleported to a new location, seeing his ears were bombarded with all sorts of noise, but at the meet, observing his surrounding wasn't a factor that registered in his mind.

Seth's only focus was on what lay before him, a tall story building whose top he didn't even have the time to check out.

Seth was heading for this building, and to be more specific, he was thankfully on a trajectory heading for one of the windows of the building.

Seth pulled Irene's body closer to his if that was even possible given how tightly he had already been holding her.

And then just before they hit, he bent down his head and folded it above Irene's lifting his shoulder as high as he could and making sure it was the first to make contact with the window, thankfully shattering it as he and Irene's body fell into the building.
