Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs-Chapter 471 Worth Living

Though they might have separated on very bad terms, Alice and Basco had a very long history with each other, so even without turning back or checking with his soul sense, despite the power and hate in the voice, Basco could immediately tell its owner.

Feeling the huge greatsword that Alice had rested on his neck, Basco would be lying if he said his life didn't flash before his eyes.

It was one thing for someone to be in battle, feel afraid, and then be killed, but to be kneeling under a hanging sword, especially when it was wielded by a not very happy woman called Alice, life's memories couldn't help but go through Basco's head.

"We spared countless times over the past months, during the last month you grew far stronger. You had multiple chances to kill me then, so why now?" Basco asked.

Rather than spouting some bullshit about why she was killing him and betraying him and Dorian, Basco asked the true questions that were on his mind.

"Well, back when we fought, you were always expecting me to kill you.

Where is the fun in me killing you when you expect it? This way is more better. I get to end you when you least expect it," Alice chuckled, adding a little qi to her sword and drawing a bit of blood from Basco's neck.

"So you decided to stay back and wait for me to be weakened before then making your move."

"Tcchh, no, Basco," Alice sneered like she had just been told something disgusting, "you underestimate how fast you are and how much you've travelled.

I'm just getting here, and then I met you in this condition, a gift delivered to me."

"Fine, if you're going to do it, then get on with it."

This is what Basco wanted to say, but then the image of a silent woman, smiling at him, flashed in his mind. He couldn't help but gulp, and instead, he spoke a different set of words.

"Alice, what's the point in you killing me if you also die a few minutes later? Though I've heavily injured her, even you know that like that she's still a force to be reckoned with.

Let's first deal with her, and then we can try to settle our issue. I'll still be weakened, so it isn't like I'm running anywhere," Basco suggested.

"Is that your way of begging me to spare your life, Basco?" Alice said, her voice coquettish.

In the past, if Basco had ended up in such a situation with Alice, with the intense pride that burned within him, he would have stayed stoic and let the woman kill him, but now things were different.

Now Basco was a married man, a man with a woman, and one who, no matter what, also had dreams of having children and completing his family.

Basco's days of being a man who cared about nothing but his goals and himself were over, and now he had to think of the devastation his demise would have on Dorian and the consequences.

Knowing Dorian, the woman would definitely seek revenge, and it was this seeking of revenge that Basco feared.

With Alice already trying and Seth unpredictable, he couldn't be sure what would happen if such a scenario were to be enacted.

"Be honest, Basco. Tell me, why did you leave me?" Alice's question furrowed Basco's brow. He was surprised that she even cared to know, but he replied.

"I didn't love you, Alice. I wasn't getting anything, and the Rammonf family was offering quite a lot to be their son-in-law."

"Basically for selfish and greedy reasons," Alice sneered.

"A simple way to put it."

"Tcch, what's that in your hand?" Alice asked, reminding him that he had something in his arms. With a thought, he quickly sent it away.

"Hehehe," Alice chuckled as she lifted her sword off Basco's neck. "I'm guessing that's what you used to cause all this destruction."

Basco grimaced at Alice finding out about Brim, but then he noticed her moving towards Maggy.

"Is this you putting an end to our grudge?" Basco said as he shakily pushed himself to his feet, prepared to join Alice.

Haughtily and confidently walking towards Maggy, Alice replied, "Maybe, I'm not sure. But it's just that the thought of having to kill Dorian when she comes to seek justice for you just doesn't sit well with me, now sit back there and watch me end this."

Though Basco felt no problems with Alice's words and, to an extent, believed that she could easily defeat Maggy, if not put up a fight against Maggy in her current injured state, watching the woman calmly and quietly staring at Alice and then remembering that she hadn't taken any action since he and Alice had been talking, his years of experience began giving up warning signals. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝓫𝓷𝓸𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶

Basco wasn't sure what was to come next, but he knew he had to warn Alice and then prepare for the worst.

"Alice, be careful, she's planning something!" Basco roared as he sent his dantian churning and filled his body with qi.

He wanted to summon his white lightning, but then winced and without hesitation let himself be covered in blue crackling lightning.

At the same time that Basco was cloaking himself in lightning, he saw Alice, who was already several steps ahead and close to Maggy, pause and then begin looking at her opponent and surroundings in confusion.

While Alice seemed flustered by Basco's sudden warning, Basco saw their opponent flash a sneer and then, with her tight fist, take several steps forward and then make her next step a stamp on the ground.

Throughout, Basco had sensed no movement or qi from Maggy, but after the woman stamped on the ground, it was like the world came to life as the ground all around her exploded, thick tree roots burst out of the ground, coiling and wrapping, rapidly shooting into the sky.

The appearance of the roots started from Maggy's location and spread to the area around her, so while Alice was unable to escape, Basco, who was already clad in lightning, put his legs to use and backpedalled while also shooting into the air.

As Basco retreated, he stared at the rising vegetation beneath him. Though he still couldn't feel any qi from it, the powerful and dominating aura he felt from it let him know that if he didn't do anything at the moment, Alice, who was already trapped deep beneath it, would die.

This feeling wasn't just born from Basco's calculation but from the instinctual feel of his body. It could feel the terror that Maggy emitted.

With a sense of urgency roaring in his heart, Basco, who was feeling confused about the next step to take, let his instincts take over.

Breaking from his retreat, Basco shot back towards the thick dense vegetation of humongous roots and as the roots reached out, seeming to welcome him, he took in a deep breath and, for the first time, roared, letting out a thick torrent of red flames from his mouth.
