As preparations for his battle with Minuha, one of Seth's problems that he had looked to solve was the problem of the woman's ability to split herself into multiple shadows.
This ability made the woman difficult to fight, and almost near impossible to completely kill, and killing her was Seth's objective for battling her.
After mulling over the issue for a while, Seth had made two conjectures which had helped him arrive at a solution for his problem.
Firstly there was the fact that while he was seeking to kill the woman, the woman was also actively looking to keep him captive.
This fact meant that rather that Seth wouldn't have to worry about Minuha running away.
It meant that rather than Minuha just splitting her body into several shadows and making life difficult for him, the woman would have to actively engage in battle if she wanted to accomplish her goals.
Secondly, there was the fact that Seth himself was good at seals, so he could always lay a trap to contain the woman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThirdly, Seth wasn't completely helpless against Minuha. Her shadows came from her understanding of the darkness element, and him now also having comprehended it, he was no longer susceptible to any manipulations the woman would try to pull.
When these facts were combined, it meant that Seth could actually trap Minuha's complete self and if he could do that, then he could completely destroy the woman.
Setting up the seal had only taken Seth a little brainstorming, and then drawing out the seal on a piece of paper, holding it, and being ready to use it when the time came.
Eventually, the battle had come, and Seth had put enough pressure on the woman so much so that she now fought him at full power, while he also directed her to his prepared position.
Seth's plan had been without flaw right till the moment, he placed his seal on the ground and activated it.
Locking up Minuha in a barrier was not something Seth thought would be easy, so he had been prepared to go all out to keep her within the range of the expanding seal, till it was fully built, but to his surprise he found the woman relaxed and calm poised not worried at about his well thought out plan.
She had waited for the seal to be first fully built, a hexagram-shaped barrier rising into the air and surrounding them from all directions, and then she had taken action.
Faster than he or his soulsense could detect, Minuha had somehow quickly moved behind him, but her speed wasn't what worried him.
What really had Seth chilled and worried was the fact that the Minuha had her arms wrapped around him, a sign that she could have done whatever she wished to him and he couldn't do a thing.
Before Seth's mind had sent the message to deal with Minuha, his body had already automaticity gone into action, seeking to protect itself.
Seth had thought that for sure he would get Minuha, yet not even such an instinctive reaction was fast enough to catch her as she suddenly disappeared, Seth not even knowing when she left.
Seth's inability to keep track of his opponent or surroundings threatened to send his mind into chaos, but held firm.'
Seth had just strengthened his mental fortitude when he caught sight of Minuha, and her current actions shut Seth's mind down.
Currently, Seth stood frozen his sword, raised, but the red on it slowly dying out as both his eyes and sweeping soulsense failed to make sense of what was happening before him.
Minuha stood within the wall of the barrier, playing around with it, moving in and out of it, like she was walking through a waterfall while throwing him laughs, truly enjoying the stunned look on his face.
"Would you…." Minuha suddenly appeared before Seth, wanting to Seth, but Seth wasn't interested in listening to any of her words as his body suddenly kicked into action as his sword slashed at her.
With a smile, This time, Minuha stood in place, showing no fear as Seth's sword touched her, glowing red as it dug deep into her flesh and then released an explosion.
Before Seth a, huge explosion went off, but he firmly stood his ground, letting the hot red flames of the explosion engulf him while his gaze narrowed as he focused his attention on his opponent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeconds later, the flames from the explosion died out to reveal a scorched and scattered ground and Seth standing in the middle with a confused face.
One minute, Seth had his soulsense locked onto Minuha, preparing to launch another assault on her, not caring that his clothes and his skin were getting burnt, and then the next second there was nothing.
Minuha didn't shrug or run away from his soulsense, no what he picked up was that she seized to exist.
Seth stood there stark naked, silently looking around for a few seconds.
"Not bad, I like what I see," Minuha said with a lick of her lips, but her words were only welcomed by Seth's left hand going up his index finger pointed at her beams rapidly shooting off them while his black lightening began running around his body.
At first, Seth had stuck to using darkness, counting on his comprehension of it to deal with Minuha, but clearly, he had overestimated himself.
To his lightning beams Minuha let them hit her, and unlike before when she screamed, they went into her and then went out the back, it was like her body was just a mirage.
"Is this her trump card" Seth wondered as he shot off toward the casually smiling woman.
When Seth got close to her, he swung his sword once more, but this time, rather than sink into her and then release an attack, the sword smoothly passed through her like it had hit nothing, the red attack being released and striking the ground some distance away.
An expression of frustration climbed Seth's face, but before he could do a thing, he found his hanging dick firmly held in Minuha's right hand while the woman wrapped her left hand around his neck and pressed herself to him.
"Now don't be rash we don't want anything happening to your little brother now do we," Minuha said, her words making Seth's face scrunch up.
"Don't be frustrated, it's not that you're weak, but that I'm an immortal and you're not."
"Mentalism, the second stage of an elements law, in this stage, my thoughts on my element manifest in reality.
