Chapter 214 Temptations And Coercions



Physical attacks caused physical damage, they could destroy buildings, roads, and most importantly the human body, riddling them with holes and cuts, and in the worst case completely eradicating it.

Physical attacks were a very common thing in the world, but they were not the only kind of attack, there was also the mind attack.

Unlike physical attacks, mind attacks could only be used on living beings, targeting their sense of awareness and reason, most of the time this attack worked to scramble the consciousness.

These two attacks Seth knew and had experienced, physical attacks were almost a daily meal for him while Mind attacks were a rare occurrence for him.

Seth's only encounter with mind attacks was with Mama slowly, after her, Seth hadn't come across anyone even rumored to be able to use mind attacks, perhaps Rose could, but she had never displayed this ability before him.

Seth had already mentally prepared himself to face more mind users in the future, but it seemed the world had upgraded his level without telling him.

He barely understood how mind attacks worked and now he had been thrown into the pit to face a soul attack.

What a soul attack was, Seth wasn't sure, but using the name of the other two attacks as a reference, the instinct to flee had never been so strong in Seth.

With a soul that was pitiful even among cadet stage cultivators, Seth had entered Ashad to find a solution for it, yet before he could fix it, he was facing a threat that could destroy it.

After screaming her discoveries, Alexia went silent, an action he dearly cherished at the moment.

For all her tantrums, Alexia always knew when to annoy Seth, cheer him up, or let him be, and at the moment, the last thing he needed was someone panicking in his mind and worsening its already chaotic state.

"For someone who keeps to herself, she can be quite noisy," Minuha said, looking away from Irene's collapsed form and turning to Seth.

"Now where we're we," Minuha said with a smile.

"Are you sure you want to reject my proposal?" she asked.

Despite acknowledging that everything that was happening before him was real, Seth still couldn't bring himself to accept it.

"Is this the Minuha I know" Seth internally questioned himself, wasn't it just some days ago that he had easily subdued this woman

Back then, all it needed was a little torturing of Ella, and the woman had danced to his tune, Seth hadn't thought much about her, having Irene bound her and thrown to the side, but now she had become a threat he wanted to flee from.

"Back then, you weren't complete were you, we didn't even have up to half of your shadows," Seth asked.

This deduction of Seth's was based on the fact that he had actually been able to follow her movements this time as compared to the last time when he could only faintly feel it.

"Astute as ever" Minuha replied to Seth's statement with praise.

"This is why I adore you Seth, your sensitivity towards danger is just off the charts, even before I attacked Irene you could already feel my threat.

"A man searching for an item that can heal and strengthen the soul, looking at your tense figure, your standing hair, and your trembling eyes, I can confidently say the item is meant for you.

"I don't know how damaged your soul is, but can you risk me attacking it?".

"I don't want to threaten you Seth, but surely you can see my point, if you agree to my deal, then everything that comes next is a benefit for you"

"Besides there is something more," Minuha said moving close to Seth and resting her head on his chest.

"I can feel it bubbling within you, just waiting to be unleashed," Minuha said looking up at Seth as he rubbed her head on him.

"What are you talking about" Seth inquired.

"Me and you Seth we're more alike than you can imagine, and whether our relationship blossom or dies off rest in your hands," Minuha said, and moved away from Seth.

"Now am going to ask for the last time, do you accept my proposal".

So sexy yet so dangerous, despite his instincts screaming alarms of impending doom, Minuha had been able to take his mind off the immediate crisis he was in.

Pressing her seductive body to his, she layered temptations to his helpless mind like a devil incarnate offering him a future which on further thought she could most likely give.

But in the end, whether the things Minuha said were true or not didn't really matter to Seth, fantasizing about her promises was like dreaming to be a beggar, and that was not something that her incredible body could change.

The option of escape had bombarded Seth's head more than once, but it wasn't something feasible given his limitations.

First of was the fact that had on the stupid armguards, and even if he were to try using his trump card, he will be hit by Minuha's soul attack before he could do anything meaningful.

Secondly, there was Irene, down on the floor and prone to any attack.

Immediately Seth thought about Irene, he couldn't help but groan in his mind.

"Between healing his soul and saving his life, which was more important?" 

"Saving himself" Seth easily answered, and if that answer was so true, then why was he here worrying about Irene when he should be fully thinking about how to escape Minuha's subjugation.

pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ Annoyed at his skewed worries, Seth decided to brush off thinking about the whys and instead try to see how he could save himself.

As kind and truthful as Minuha was, Seth would be a fool if he thought Minuha was just going to give him free rein and not control him.

Seth's current situation wasn't unfamiliar, it was like when Amelia had come tempting him, she had brought tempting offers and a tempting body but in the end, he had rejected her.

The aftermath of that rejection wasn't one he wanted to experience again, and now here he was facing it once more, the decision in his court.
