Concentrating all the power in his body in his leg, Seth's kick hit with a "boom" and without delay sent the figure just escaping the barrier shooting to the ground, a large explosion erupting as the person tried to employ their qi to soften their landing but alas Seth's kick proved too strong.
Standing in the air, Seth kind of hoped his stalker was who he thought it was as the joy he would receive from launching such a kick would be triple what he was currently feeling.
Not wanting to lose his target, Seth had his soulsense trained and locked on the person, his eyes peeled and focused, staring at the billowing cloud of dust that rose off the ground.
"Has to be the strongest kick I've launched since my last breakthrough" Seth thought, impressed with the large area his kick had affected, and wondering how strong a qi empowered on will be.
"Don't bother, you can't escape Rias."
Seth's words seemed to trigger his opponent who had been trying to suppress their qi and sneak away, as after his words, the opponent's qi flared and with a blast all the dust in the surrounding was blown away, revealing to Seth his opponent.
Dark hair that just reached past her shoulders, prideful black eyes, a light film of lipstick, and the usual but quite beautiful green hoar, one that had a slit that exposed enough of her right thigh to ensnare Seth's gaze though he was quite displeased with the dresses poor exposure of the woman's rump.
"My guess was right, it really was you, "Seth said, speeding down from the air and appearing a few steps from Rias.
Despite Seth's speed and his rather hazy black fumes which began dyeing out, Rias appeared unfazed, her posture straight and her eyes carrying a look that said she didn't think much of Seth.
"You sure are prideful for a pervert" Seth mocked and though Rias showed no reaction, Seth suddenly began chuckling.
Though Rias kept her expression tight, Seth was more than sure that beneath all that she was irritated and annoyed at him, and it definitely wasn't because of the kick he had launched at her.
Though Rias had just been sent flying to the ground seconds ago, she was in perfect condition, her clothes spotless and her face without a scar or bruise, compliments of her employ of qi to protect herself when she couldn't make a graceful landing.
The reason for Rias's annoyance was because of Seth confidently calling her out when she was still under the cover of the dust cloud.
With his words, Seth was sure he had made her think he was well aware of her identity, and for a woman as prideful as Rias, it was only natural that she decided to face the situation head-on rather than run away.
Now that he had basically just told her it was a guess, Seth was sure she was pissed as even he knew that if he hadn't made her decide to face him on her own, she would have employed every skill she had to escape and Seth doubted he could capture or outsmart her in this terrain which was almost her backyard.
For a woman like her she must have felt confident in her skill, sure that Seth wouldn't find her and so had decided to let the little pervert out of her, but now, she realized had been overconfident and now stood before Seth as a full-pledged pervert.
"Which of the scenes got you most excited, was it when I fucked Aimy from behind or when she rode me.
I bet it was when she rode me, you must have so badly wanted to be the one bouncing up and down my cock.I think you should take a look at
I bet your kitty dripped."
Seth was truly amused at Rias's perverted nature given how aloof she had portrayed herself, and though he knew his teases would annoy her, he wasn't scared of her lashing out.
Without missing a point Seth had been spot on in his deduction of Rias's thoughts and decisions, and now as Rias watched Seth laugh and mock her, the irritation within her morphed into anger and as Seth finished speaking his last words, she acted.
Fast enough to almost escape Seth's eyes, Rias's left leg shot out, the woman wanting to surprise him with her choice of attack leg, but Seth who had been prepared reacted quickly and though risky he didn't make the mistake of underestimating Rias's kick.
Though using both his hands left him vulnerable, Seth used both his open palms to stop Rias's kick, the ground beneath his feet cracking and depressing as he withstood the full force of her kick till all of its momentum was expended and though he stood firm without taking a step back, Seth couldn't stop the blood that flowed down his lips.
Standing there and confidently withstanding Rias's kick was a heavy job carried out by Seth's powerful body, and though his body was able to handle the physical load, his qi failed to handle the attack that came next.
Though his body stood firm the qi within him was blasted apart by Rias's own qi, sending the energy within his body into chaos.
Seeing Seth pause and blood run down his lips, Rias smirked internally and taking back her leg which had been pressing against Seth's palms, she launched another attack, and this time with her right leg.
As Rias attacked for the second time, it seemed like Seth wouldn't move, but before the kick could hit, his legs kicked and moved backward, avoiding the ground shattering kick that Rias created as her heel collided with the ground.
Though Seth moved, Rias wasn't thrown off as she quickly moved and pursued his retreating figure, quickly reaching it and though Seth decided to face her, this time, rather than try to use her leg to destroy him, her palm shot out at him.
Keeping calm, Seth also shot out his palm, this time keeping in mind Rias's qi strength and pumping his palm full of qi.
A smile adorned Rias's face as Seth's palm shot out and collided with hers, and soon Seth realized the reason why.
With his previous interaction with her qi back in the church and when she recently kicked him, Seth had been suspecting that Rias actually had a far higher cultivation than him and was stronger, but now after fully preparing himself for her qi and attacking her, he realized his mistake.
Though what Rias used was qi, it was very different from what Seth knew, it wasn't just a change in quality or strength, but rather in nature, like an evolution.
When Seth's qi faced it, rather than just be overwhelmed by it, Seth could feel his qi actively trying to retreat.
Seeing this strange occurrence, Seth quickly remembered Minuha's words on there being an appropriate qi for his realm and he couldn't help but wonder if Rias was using the appropriate qi.
Though there was the issue of Rias's qi quickly overpowering his own, before Seth could think of a countermeasure, he realized that the worst was yet to come as he felt something dangerous begin brewing within what he had thought was just a simple palm strike.
