Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

Down on the ground, the dust and debris that had risen from the crashing of the old woman rapidly dispersed, revealing to Basco his not-so-old opponent.

Gone was the white-haired woman with a hunched back and wrinkled face.

The dull grey cloth the woman had once worn was now no more, replaced by a green garment and with the cloth being thin and light, if not for the bra and long enough undergarment which the woman wore, Basco would have a view of her breasts and genitals, but instead, all he could gaze at was her slim bare navel and her milky white hips.

If Seth were here, he would have spent a few minutes appreciating the beauty in front of him and perhaps even having ideas, but alas, it was Basco and not Seth.

Already having the most beautiful and proportioned woman as his wife, Basco had no interest in multiple affairs, and so, while the dust calmed and revealed his opponent, he didn't stay idle and went charging his qi just beneath his palms.

To the woman's words, Basco kept silent, but it seemed after her sudden transformation from an old hag to a sexy beauty, the woman had become talkative.

With a smile on her face, the woman blurred, appearing in the air some distance from Basco in no time.

"Even if you fight me and by some miracle win, do you think that you will survive?

You guys have already killed one overseer, and then another, and now with me, perhaps that is three. You aren't a fool, Basco. You know the rules, you know what will happen. The guardians will come for you."

Looking at the woman, Basco sighed within, left to him, he wouldn't participate in any of this and would be back home with his wife trying to make Ergand a better place. Yet, it was his same wife who had warned him against going against Seth.

"Listen, Basco. I don't know what is going on with your country, but this is not something Dorian would support. Think of the consequences of your actions."

Hearing the woman's words, Basco internally sighed at how wrong she was about Dorian's thoughts and at her fear.

With his opponent being an overseer and him once being the head of a rebel faction and now the husband of the leader of the country, Basco wasn't surprised about what the old woman knew about him.

However, that didn't mean that he also didn't know about the woman opposite him, after all, she was also an overseer.

"Madam Maggy, though I was specifically told to kill you, seeing as I actually have nothing against you, my advice will be that you quickly surrender so that I can take you back to Ergand, and from there, we see how to save your life."

"Me surrender, You must be joking," Maggy said.

"Me telling you to surrender is just me being kind. It's up to you to take up my offer or face Seth." Basco clarified.

As erratic and unpredictable as Seth and his decisions, Basco was sure that if he could get Maggy to Ergand, get her to Dorian, then they could work out something to change Seth's mind.

To anyone with a bit of sense, they would realize that from Maggy's words, she was actually scared and wanted to negotiate her way out of a battle, and the only person who could have scared her would be Seth.

"You don't have much time. Alice is coming, and when she arrives, death is all that will await you because she won't show mercy, and neither will I hold my punches."

"Hmm, too bad. Then I guess I better get to kill you then," Maggy said, and just as the words were leaving her mouth, she threw out her hands, releasing dozens of bright green needles at Basco.

Having kept himself prepared for an attack from Maggy and gearing up an attack of his own, Basco immediately pushed forth both his hands.

From each of Basco's palms, a bolt of white lightning, which quickly expanded once it left his hand, shot at Maggy, frying and electrifying the air as it made its way over to the green-clothed lady.

Moving as fast as the element which it was composed of, the two human-sized bolts of white lightning arrived before Maggy almost in a second.

While Maggy was forced to take out a green ribbon and have it form a shield in front of her, Basco was left a little flustered as he discovered that his attacks had actually done no damage to the needles heading for himself.

"What is the purpose of these things?" Basco muttered as the lightning on his body further intensified, but then, just as he was planning to dodge and outrun the needles, he saw that each of them shot out a green light and linked up with the other and before Basco knew it, a green net was before him.

"Surely she doesn't hope to trap me," Basco thought with a snort.

One thing about battling with him was that if one couldn't shoot out instantaneous techniques, then their only chance of hitting him was to get up close.

Regardless of how strong or destructive Maggy's plan was, a step was all Basco needed to get away from it, and not underestimating the strength of an Overseer's techniques, he did just that.

The white blur that was Basco moved to shift to the side and dodge the attack, but then he found himself crashing into an invisible wall, one which for a brief moment flashed as he collided with it. When it did, Basco saw that he had actually crashed into a net that was exactly the same as the one heading for him.

Quickly recovering, Basco wanted to change his strategy, but unfortunately for him, it was too late.

Basco had delayed enough, and now he could only watch as the green net he had been extremely confident in escaping slammed into him, and then the next second, he was falling from the sky with abnormal speeds, descending like a comet.
