Chapter 69 Candy Eating Man

It was evening in the Ergand Federation, and the sun which once shinned high in the sky could no longer be seen, a chilly wind and a darkening sky were all that it had left in its slow departure.

A farm truck could currently be seen driving on a muddy road, signs of heavy rainfall the previous night on the ground, with a dense vegetation of trees on both sides of the road.

Within this truck were three individuals, a young healthy man dressed in blue overalls who sat in the driver's seat, a young lady wearing a straw hat with and a black jacket, with some black spots on her face she seemed to be hiding with the hat, and an old man who had his dirty white hair covered with a straw hat and a scarf.

There was a somber mood within the truck as the lady rested her head on the old man's lap and the old man occasionally coughed into his scarf.

The truck drove for some seconds before the expression of the old man within the truck slightly shifted to shock but no one noticed it, he had his eyebrows furrowed in thought but could only relax them seconds later in defeat.

With a sigh, the old man tensed up his body and quietly waited for the inevitable, and some minutes later, the truck took a bend and then suddenly stopped with a screech, its brakes being abruptly stepped on, threatening to throw its occupants forward and off their seats, but it's occupants were far from normal people as their bodies only slightly tilted forward.

The driver with terror and fear in his eyes whispered out while pointing forward,

"Da.. Dad, it's him".

On the road, some distance ahead of the truck stood a man dressed in a purple tracksuit and white sneakers, he held a cotton candy in each of his hands and was currently eating out of them, not sparing a single glance at the truck which had just stopped ahead of him.

With no surprise on his face, the old man nodded his head and said.

"You two wait in the car, don't come out or else I say so, when we start fighting, drive away", and then taking a deep heavy breath, the old man opened the truck and tried to move out but a soft hand grabbed his arm,

"Dad, please don't go" the only girl in the truck cried as she held on to her father, she knew he had no other choice, but with the chances of him dying this time being almost certain, she couldn't bear the thought of her father walking to his death.

"Nina stop crying, we can't give that bastard the pleasure of him seeing us in despair, now can we," the old man said in a soothing tone.

The old man was Treuchi and after Seth's resurrection and disappearance, he immediately had his family pack up and then begin moving as far away from Magdad country and Ergand federation as he could, he had expected Seth to return for his revenge many months or even years later, so he had his family disguise themselves and slowly move out in hopes that he would wipe away all traces of them and their movements, but looking at the man in front of him, it seemed all his calculations had been wrong.

Treuchi removed his daughter's grip on his arm, and gave her a kiss on her forehead, and then nodding at his son, he came down from the truck.

Treuchi had never felt so close to death in all his life, though it had barely been over a day since his fight with Seth, he had no illusion that he could win a fight with this demon anymore, and his instinct confirmed his guess as he walked closer to him.

The last time they fought, the man in front of him had wielded strange powerful abilities like an amateur, but as the fight went on he began taking the upper hand.

Luckily for Treuchi, the last time he had fought Seth, his stamina or perhaps his qi was insufficient and so he had easily exhausted him, but now as he walked closer to Seth, he felt like he was walking towards a fierce beast that could fight him forever without tiring.

Treuchi kept his eyes narrowed as he looked at the man who hadn't looked up at him even once, he just kept on taking bites out of his candy and humming as he ate.

"You want a thrilling battle don't you, why don't we take this fight somewhere else so…" Treuchi was saying before he was cut off by Seth,

"Stop with your useless tactics and come here" Seth commanded all of a sudden as he looked up from his candy and stared at Treuchi.

Seth's current outfit looked a little jovial and colorful, but right now all Treuchi saw was a purple demon giving him an order.

Treuchi gritted his teeth and replied to Seth's order with his actions, with his decision made, he quickly ran at Seth with a strong gust of wind trailing behind him, close combat had been Seth's weak point, and this time he prepared to not give Seth a chance to begin using those lightning balls of his.

At this moment Treuchi moved the fastest he had ever in his life, he even burned his life essence as he moved and his efforts seemed to pay off as he got within attacking range of Seth, but Seth didn't move an inch, and believing this was his opportunity, he punched out with straight fingers which were covered in wind blades towards Seth, just the same way he attacked Seth last time, but this time he was aiming for the head.

Treuchi thought he had attacked Seth at an incredible speed, but to Seth, he was moving at average speeds as his eyes easily followed the man's every movement, and with ease, he dropped his candy, sent out his hand, and slapped away Treuchi's attacking arm just before his hand could touch him, and without wasting a moment, Seth palmed the old man on his chest, sending him flying away and crashing to the ground.

Back then, though Seth had been fast, that had been because of Raiju's lightening and though his body moved at insane speeds, his eyes and other senses barely followed along, but now after the break through into the soldier level, Seth's senses and his body's strength were on a whole new impossible level, with the bloodlines within him now active, Seth's physical capabilities had shot up so much so that he was more powerful than when he previously had Raiju's lightening.

If before Seth was like a jet made with aluminum, then right now he was a jet made with armor plating, but still retaining his excellent speed and able to go faster, and right now he wanted to see the extent of his strength.

Just as Seth turned to face Treuchi, he heard a soft voice scream,

"Wait".

Treuchi had quickly gotten over his shock when Seth slapped away his arm, he had braced himself for Seth's attack, and seeing that it was just a normal palm strike, he had decided to let the strike hit and use its momentum to get away from Seth and then gather a new momentum for another attack.

Treuchi's plan had worked out, and though he had crashed to the ground, there were no injuries on him, but just as he tried to circulate his qi and prepare for a follow-up attack from Seth if any, a look of dread came upon his face as he made a realisation, and all thoughts of resisting Seth were almost flushed out of his mind.

Thoughts of how he could bargain for his family's life passed through Treuchi's mind, but then he heard his daughter cry out and begin walking to Seth.
