Bang!

Human and beast clashed in the center of that charred land, making the entire area shake. The shockwave impact caused by their raw physical strength, pushed the air away, creating a loud explosion.

They suddenly separated and took impulse to clash once again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

It happened many times over and throughout the whole area, until they entered a deadlock once again.

Suddenly, one of the Cerberus heads tried to bite down towards Seth and destroy his body, but his dark energy expanded and pushed it away. While that was happening, another one of its heads started to spew hellish purple flames towards him, but Seth ignored it all and prepared to defend from another impact coming from one of that beast frontal paws.

It was like a heavy strike coming down towards him, as if a hammer was trying to mold his body into the desired shape.

Bang!

Seth raised both his arms to stop that attack, crossing them above his head. His whole body was radiating a dark aura that made his resistance and toughness gets even higher.

Crack!

The ground beneath him shattered with the force of that impact he just resisted, but when he least expected, the other paw hit him hard from the side, sending his body flying at a high speed towards one of the rock mountains far away.

Boom!

He smashed hard against it, destroying everything.

In the first clash of strength between Seth and the Cerberus hound, the beast had won. Nothing less could be expected from one of the top-tier class demonic beasts from the underworld. Its raw physical strength was unmatched and if it were another individual other than Seth there, he would have already been turned into a pancake. Just that last attack, would have probably pulverized all the bones inside that individual's body.

Boom!

The rocks around Seth were all sent flying as he stood up. Three different green auras were circling his body simultaneously. One of them was healing his shallow wounds, while the other was making his body hover in the air and at the same time cutting all the rocks nearby.

Seth took a bow out of his spatial ring and with the Evergreen Essence Poisonous aura, he forged a poisonous arrow.

Even from afar, Barghest felt that if that attack were to hit his contacted beast, it would inevitably lead to a huge disadvantage later, since the poison was so strong that it was practically smothering him with its aura.

Even Lan Xue had narrowed her eyes. She heard that the Elf Queen had a green poisonous aura that could destroy everything, but she was already starting to think that it was probably not only her that had that skill. If an ability was able to make her feel danger, it was not something simple.

Seth knocked that arrow on a wind elemental bow he had swiftly taken out of his spatial ring and his wind aura started to create the perfect environment for him to shoot it.

When he pulled the strings and shot the arrow, the wind made sure to accompany it towards the final destination.

Swish!

A green streak of light cut the skies until it was right in front of the hellhound, bringing a fierce poison alongside it.

The beast swiftly moved its body aside, easily evading the green arrow, but suddenly, its animal instincts screamed that there was a looming danger over it.

Boom! The whole body of the Cerberus beast ignited in hellish flamed, burning the whole environment around it. That decision turned out to be decisive, else the beast would be poisoned now.

Just a few seconds ago, the green arrow that it had evaded, curved in the air and followed its target, but all the energy it had, was consumed in the middle of those purple flames the hellhound had released.

But things were not over, the Cerberus felt an even greater sense of crisis coming from afar.

Seth's hands were shinning with a golden radiance as he created another arrow imbued with Evergreen Poison. He was about to execute one of the skills he stole from the Luberus family, the one they treasured the most; the Golden Hawk.

Barghest suddenly pulled the silver chain coiling around his arm sending signals for his contracted beast. That next ability had to be stopped!

As if it had received a royal decree, the Cerberus charged again towards Seth, using all its physical strength to reach him faster.

But when it was getting near, Seth had already completely charged his Golden Hawk. With a mocking smile, he shot the arrow that resembled a golden sun, descending down to destroy the mortals.

Swoosh!

But even though it was really fast and strong, the Cerberus reaction time was still a bit faster, evading the attack while jumping from side to side. It was expecting the golden arrow would turn around and follow it once again, but unfortunately, it was wrong.

The Golden Hawk kept going towards the distance, cutting even the air and making sharp noises wherever it passed. However, once it reached a certain point, it abruptly turned around, moving twice as faster than before, but aiming at Barghest.

Seth had not targeted the Cerberus, but the owner himself.

When Barghest realized Seth's target was him, his countenance fell. His hellhound was just a few meters away from Seth and there would be no way for it to help him, so he would have to resort to his last trump card.

"Gates of Hell!

"

Boom!

His darkness energy opened up a subspace, just like how Seth could do with the abilities he acquired from his Shadow Demon inheritance. But in Barghest case, he wasn't able to maintain it for longer.

Just opening it, made his entire body tremble while his cells screamed in pain.

Clang!

Metal chains collided against each other, as a huge gate appeared before Barghest. It slightly opened up and a fierce pulling force, attracted the golden arrow inside.

The sharp sound of that arrow entering the subspace and vanishing inside echoed and just as that sound disappeared, Barghest undid the skill, kneeling down on the floor while feeling tired.

At Seth's side, the Cerberus was able to arrive beside him once again, striking with his fearful physical strength.

Seth was hovering in the air, but that beast could jump really high, so it didn't matter. His wind elemental bow had shattered after using the Golden Hawk once and he threw it away to defend himself.

Bang!

He thought he would be able to at least defend from a physical attack while standing where he was, however, that beast physical strength was really out of ordinary. But unfortunately, now that Seth was in the air, there was nothing he could use to support his body and the strike he tried to defend, actually hit him hard.

Seth once again, receive a strong blow and his body dove towards the destroyed ground.

Boom! Crack!

The floor shattered even more, increasing the destruction that their fight was causing in the environment.

Lan Xue kept observing everything from afar. She was really impressed that a Mana Control peak-stage like Seth, was actually battling two Profound Mana enemies. Seth's skills and powers were not in the least weak than a Profound Mana late-stage cultivator and he had so many incredible skills, that she found it hard to believe. The other thing she was observing, was that he was able to go head on, against a demonic beast that had a really strong physical constitution.

All this while, she kept observing the whole fight, but her Mana was already circling through her body, making Lan Xue ready to act when necessary. Now that Seth had suffered a huge blow, she was thinking about acting to help him, if he wasn't able to stand up anymore.

However, her worries were for nothing.

Boom! Seth's body shot from the ground below towards the air, but there seemed to be something different with him now. Even though he was bleeding, since that strike had injured him, his figure seemed a lot more menacing than before. Even Lan Xue felt an unholy energy mixing with his aura.

Inside Seth's energy veins, a crimson glow was flowing, giving him more power than ever. After he was injured again, Seth decided to take things more seriously in order to end it all. He was getting impatient already, since he wanted to see Barghest dead and the end of the whole Cerberus Clan.

Crimson lines were occasionally appearing on his skin. They were the veins where his crimson blood was passing through. That tyrannical energy, enhanced his whole body and increasing his strength to another level.

Seth felt he would never get accustomed on relying on that corrupted power, but he couldn't deny the fact it was awesome. All that energy flowing on his veins made him feel really powerful.

Boom!

His body vanished, leaving a sonic boom behind.. Less than a second later, he was already before the Cerberus beast, but now, the physical contest between them would be totally different.
