Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

"Evary Seth".

"Evary Seth".

"Evary Seth".

No matter how many times he repeated these two names in his mind, the anger and frustration he felt towards its owner never decreased, instead somehow increasing.

"No matter how many times you mention his name, it won't change anything," Ella said to the still-brooding Edwin.

"That damn brat, I swear if I ever get my hands on him, I'll introduce him to new kinds of pain" Edwin gritted out, his palms closing up in a tight grip, but when he tightened them into fists, he let out a loud groan and stumbled backward, almost falling to his knee.

"Now see what you've done to yourself" Ella muttered as the healers who were standing behind immediately rushed to attend to Edwin.

Some seconds later and with a loud shout of "I am fine" leaving Edwin's mouth, the man steadied himself and brushed off the two women beside him.

"My lord please listen to me, you need to rest and take your medicine, your body won't heal if you keep standing out here, especially with …", but Edwin cut off the woman's speech.

"I'm fine, now move back and wait until I need you" Edwin ordered.

"You should listen to your healers, your arms just got reattached and are still in a delicate and precarious state, working yourself up over Seth and moving them up and them isn't going to do them any good, especially your knee" Ella advised.

"I'll be fine" Edwin still said, bending his head to stare down at his slightly trembling hands, at the moment, the entire length of his arms was encased in a cast, with only his palms being free.

"Fine if you won't leave, then at least take a seat, I know you want to put up a strong front, but have you thought about what would happen to the city if due to your stubbornness and pride, you suddenly went unconscious".

Though Ella didn't know it, her words struck a chord deep within Edwin's heart, because despite his continuous refusals to go and take a rest, within him, Edwin knew that standing out here wasn't doing him any good.

The healers had told him to tell them immediately if he felt there was something wrong with his arms, yet despite already feeling a biting sting in his them, he kept mum.

Edwin's plan had been to ride out the pain no matter how long, but now hearing Ella comment about his pride, he couldn't help but think about how his pride had caused him to set off Seth.

Though Edwin himself knew that he had done nothing wrong, it didn't change the fact that his decision had caused the death of over a hundred soldiers.

Edwin didn't know how, but somewhere deep in his heart, he had known that offending Seth was going to lead to a disaster, it had been like a sixth sense, some feeling in his gut, yet had offended him anyway because of his pride, and now he was about to commit another mistake because if it.

Finally arriving at a decision, Edwin let out a deep breath, his shoulders dropping down as he spoke,

"Bring me a seat".

There was a pause after Edwin's words, but it didn't take long for the healers to immediately rush away, and not up to a minute later they were carrying a chair over like they had just had it on standby.

Shaking his head, Edwin sat down on the chair, barely managing to suppress the loud groan of relief that rushed to escape out of his mouth.

"It's okay am fine," Edwin said, waving away the women who had wanted to begin checking on him.

"Well should feel much better now and be able to think better" Ella commented.

"I hope so," Edwin muttered looking forward, ignoring the flaming rocks and boulders that fell on the barrier that stood high above the city, as at the moment his attention was on the battle going on within the inner walls.

…..

When Seth had suddenly upped and bolted, Edwin's mind had almost spiraled into madness, he imagined Seth freely roaming around the city, killing and raping as he wished, and if not for Ella pointing out that he had left Iren behind, Edwin might have had a heart attack due to his multiple fears.

At the moment, Edwin, Ella, the never-visible Minuha, two healers, and two stripped iron armored men were currently on the rooftop of one of a tall buildings that stood a short distance away from the battle that was going on at the edge of the inner city.

After being suddenly and effectively invaded, the city's main defenses breached like they were decorative add-ons, Edwin had been left with no other choice but to give the order for the outer city to be abandoned.

An order which prioritized the return of all soldiers to the inner city had been sent out, and though Edwin knew he was doing the right and only thing he could do, his heart couldn't help but ache for all the people he had abandoned out there in the open.

With the inner city quickly locked up moments later, Edwin had thought his main job at that time was to figure out how to counter the enemy and eventually push them out of the city, he didn't bother thinking too hard about why the enemy had been able to so easily breach the cities defenses as he conveniently blamed all that on Seth.

Edwin had been in a room filled with his officers, debating on their next course of action to push out the invaders when one of Minuha's shadows had come up to him to tell that before the inner city barrier had been activated, it had been infiltrated, and not just by anyone, but by a group of very powerful enemy forces, and now here they were.

Currently, every soldier at the level 7, 8, and 9 mortal within the city had on their armor and was fighting.

Four level 9 and seven level 8 mortal cultivators had infiltrated the inner city, and right now while the only still good to go level 9 cultivator of Monwac city was fighting one of the level 9 enemies, this still left 3 more level 9 enemies with no equal to challenge them, so Edwin decided to go for quantity against quality.
