Corrupt Creations

Seth's body was radiating energy of corruption, what left him way stronger than what he already was normally. His speed multiplied as well and in a blink of an eye, he was already right in front of the hellhound.

He appeared right before its left head. His right leg mercilessly descended on top of it, drawing a full arc in the air before striking down.

Bang!

The body of the Cerberus hound hit hard against the floor and one of its heads got incapacitated. But the other two were still active, the right head once again tried to spit fire and cook Seth alive, but he ignored it as if it didn't even matter.

The central head swiftly controlled the whole body, trying to stand up from the ground and at the same time, trying to bit Seth. However, he had already vanished when it was able to stand up. But before the beast could even identify where he was, it felt a horrifying impact at its back.

Crack!

Seth had appeared on the air above it, striking directly towards the Cerberus spine. A loud cracking noise resounded and he knew he had broken that bone in two parts, making the beast bark while feeling a horrible pain.

But Seth didn't end there, his body started to radiate a crimson energy and he vanished, appearing beside the right head. With a swift motion, his right hand penetrated inside the beast left eye, opening a huge wound that bled profusely. At that moment, his corrupted energy infiltrated inside that huge body and started to slowly affect it.

When Seth was about to disappear once again, he felt two huge rows of sharp teeth, closing on him, since the main head was practically biting his body already.

Bang!

A huge impact happened, but it wasn't because Seth was bitten, but because his hands had abruptly held the main head's mouth through its teeth, not letting its jaw close on him. If it were before, Seth would have been in a tight spot, but now, his physical strength had surpassed what that beast was capable of handling.

"Snort!" Seth snorted and up in the air behind him, thousands of sharp spikes made of darkness appeared. They started to spin as a crimson light enveloped them.

A second later, when they were ready, they advanced towards the Cerberus beast, swiftly striking it with a barrage of deadly spikes.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The beast started to be pierced by that rain of death and it wasn't able to keep pressuring its enemy, releasing Seth and turning into an easy target afterwards. Its massive body had turned into a weakness at that point.

One by one, those merciless spikes penetrated that beast until they were sixty centimeters inside its body, finally stopping right in the middle of is steel muscles. However, after being hit for so many times, it was already too late for it. He huge amount of blood it was losing, was already beyond repair.

The corruptive energy now was overflowing inside, merging with the blood cells as it tried to invade every other single cell and corrupt it.

The Cerberus fell on the ground, already unable to stand up or move. Barghest saw his contracted beast losing the fight and he knew there were no chances of him leaving from this situation alive. He knew his beast would be dead soon as well, since that crimson energy was something that he was familiar with.

However, he suddenly started to smile. Barghest realized he had created a monster together with Velgor and this was just a retaliation of what he had to do in order to create this devil. But as a researcher that drowned in madness, he was actually feeling happy about the results of his efforts.

Suddenly, Seth's body vanished, appearing beside Barghest. He was already heavily injured and had just lost his contracted beast, but for some reason, Seth wasn't able to feel despair coming from him. His hand swiftly moved, grabbing Barghest by his neck and lifting him up in the air.

"What do feel about it now, huh? Was it worth it destroying my village?! Killing my mother?!" While asking, Seth grabbed the silver chain coiling around Barghest arm and pulled it down with all his force.

Pah!

The chain suddenly pulled Barghest arm, aggressively tearing it from his body.

"ARGH!!!"

Blood left through Barghest mouth while he screamed in pain, but for some reason, even though he was feeling the painful sensation of being tortured, Seth couldn't feel despair inside his eyes.

"Ahs... Cough! Cough! Aha... Ahaha..."Barghest started to laugh after hearing that question. He was looking towards Seth's face and saw he was smiling, what was a bit strange for the context of his previous words.

"You sound like you're doing it for those people... Then why are you smiling? Ahaha!!! You're not that na?ve person anymore. You are a monster we had created! Kill me!!!"

Only after Barghest said those words, Seth realized he was actually smiling. Throughout the whole fight, he had many chances of ending this battle just by swiftly assassinating Barghest with poison or directly abusing his power of corruption to overwhelm him. But he had fought to crush his pride, resisting his hellish flames and showing he had stronger flames, fighting his contracted beast with physical power and even purposely targeting the hidden base to force him to act.

Those were not attitudes of a person that simply wanted revenge, but someone who delighted to see his enemies suffering.

At that moment, Seth realized that he was right, but surprisingly, he was acting very calm, just like as if he already knew it deep down. Actually, while living amidst the demons he had turned into a devil as well.

As if it was agreeing with the way he acted and the things he did, the Crimson Light intensified the energy circling inside Seth's body, making him feel the need to quickly finish off his enemy.

"Kill you? Snort! You didn't need to tell me to do that. I hope you like the same feeling you've been making many people experience."

After saying those words, Seth used his free hand to stab Barghest abdomen and inject his Crimson Corruption inside his body. After doing that, he threw Barghest body on the ground, near the body of his contracted beast and watched the whole process by the side.

Lan Xue watched everything from afar too. She had many questions to ask him, but since she didn't consider herself as his friend yet, she decided to not ask them.

Barghest didn't even try to stand up, he was already starting to feel the seething pain of a hundred thousand crimson filaments corrupting his body cells. His eyes and mind were being swallowed inside a crimson world and he felt he was about to become part of it, being eternally doomed to corruption.

His skin started to crystalize and shatter. His soul was corrupted, scattering just like his body. The Cerberus hound life signals vanished alongside his.

"It's over..."

One of the culprits behind his destiny had been defeated, but even though he had won, he wasn't able to feel peace yet. There were still some individuals that deserved the same o a worse ending.

It was not intended, but Seth's use of corruption, initiated a process deep down inside the laboratory.

Inside the cylinder where the Crimson Giant was, the red liquid was boiling already. Many cracks started to appear on its surface and many of the surviving Cerberus Clan researchers, that didn't know about the outcome of the conflict above, rushed towards that place, trying to stop the inevitable.

They channeled their Qi in other to contain the material inside, while some of them desperately tried to call for their superior, but unfortunately, Zertis and Barghest were already dead.

Crack!

A huge fissure suddenly opened and a lot of that liquid poured out, bathing some unfortunate souls in corruption.

"Argh!"

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Their bodies instantly started to crystalize, and in a matter of seconds they had died.

After seeing that, the other researchers started to run away, trying to leave from there as fast as they could.

CRACK!

But suddenly, the whole cylinder cracked and the monster inside, finally opened its red pulsing eyes.

ROAR!!!

Boom!

All the cylinders present inside that huge room shattered as a crimson energy pulse passed through them. The many samples around that room, instantly shattered as well.

Some of the researches looked back to see what the hell was happening, just to witness a crimson wave of destruction arriving at them with full force.

"AH!"

"Run!"

Bang!

That wave was so overwhelmingly powerful, that just by touching their bodies, they were sent flying while shattering in midair. That powerful pulse of energy went through the whole base, destroying everything on its path, be it living or dead. Nothing was able to escape it in time.

Up there, Lan Xue had already arrived beside Seth. She was currently thinking about what to say or what to ask him first, when the both of them suddenly started to feel the whole ground shaking.. It was like the earth was about to burst apart.
