Chapter 494 The Only Way

?"Should I even be asking what she's doing here?" Seth asked after Denise had spoken, falling to his butt and taking a rest on the red sea.

As Seth sat, within himself he let out a sigh and wondered about his life, just seconds ago he was literally about to die, he had been on a track that would send him to death, one he could take himself off, yet in the end, he had stubbornly persisted on it.

This curse of his, Seth did not truly understand, apparently it was meant to make him stupidly arrogant but Seth felt there was more to it, considering its uncanny way of acting up.

Were it not for the constant warnings he had been receiving throughout his life, Seth would have never even thought that he had a curse on him, he would have thought that he was simply a man who couldn't control his emotions and would have vainly been working on tempering it.

Remembering how with just her gaze and pressure Denise had been about to kill him, Seth shivered, yet even as he realized the power that this apparent mother of Rose, possessed, Seth did not cower to her.

"Hmm that looks nice" Denise said after her words were met by silence from both Seth and the red shadow beside him.

With a smile on her face as she spoke, with familiarity and confidence, Denise took a step forward, this one step teleporting her figure several meters away from Seth and closer to the sun and hovering lights in Seth's soul space, and she would have taken another step towards them if it wasn't for Seth words that echoed out.

"Come back" Seth authoritatively spoke, and the next second Denise was once again hovering above Seth but rather than be angry at Seth for making her return, she instead had a wide smile on her face as she stared at the wide-eyed Seth laughing a second later when a powerful scream left Seth's mouth and he collapsed to his knees and holding his head in his hands.

Without delay, as Seth dropped, so did the calm of the red sea end, as its waters immediately raised in furry and rage expressing the current distress of its master

"Why haven't you fused with him already, there is only so much entertainment an idiot can bring," Denise said as she chuckled and once more began moving back towards the several lights that lit up Seth's soul space.

The shadow stared at Denise's departing figure seeming to want to act against her, but in the end, it turned away from her and stared back at Seth who was stifling his scream and struggling to get over the pain that was wracking through him.

The backlash that you feel is not only from the rules of existence but most importantly, also from her, you know what she looks like, and that is like giving her a window into your life and the key to it, and now she's using that to slowly kill you.

To say he was shocked was an understatement as even Seth himself could not believe that just that urge for him to satisfy his curiosity had essentially doomed him to the point that even the almighty entity that had always been in him had given up on him.

"You're abandoning me" Seth said after several seconds as if silence.

"No, I'm still here beside you aren't I, I just can't see a way for us to survive this."

Seth was unsure of the entity's words so he looked straight at it, wanting to see if he could peer into its eye and unravel its desires, but the shadow before him had none of that, having nothing but dark red waves of what Seth was just realising was actually the red sea running over it.

"I'm not rolling over to die" Seth suddenly said with determination as he stared at the red shadow before him

"What did she mean by you being yet to fuse with me, will it save me," Seth asked, unable to stop bits of desperation from seeping into his tone.

"It would save you Seth, but you'll end up dying in disgrace as a fool." The entity spoke, this time emotions of sadness seeping into its tone and Seth could not help but be taken aback.

Several seconds had passed by this time, and Seth could already feel that his soul was on the brink of just being consumed by some unfathomable existence.

It was scary because unlike the time Seth's soul got injured or attacked, this time Set felt nothing, there was no feeling of danger within him, but he who owned the soul could feel its impending disappearance.

"Hmm the Red Sea is losing its viscosity "Seth suddenly pointed out looking away from the red being before him and staring down.

"I can only imagine that things would be worse if we were to fuse, but still there is no way I would just roll over and allow myself to die.

No matter what I become I won't give up on a chance at surviving" Seth said and though the shadow before him had no face, Seth felt like it gave a grin before suddenly smashing into him and turning his world red.
