Seeing the death of his comrade, the Demonic Tiger's face was dark. He did not say anything, but his aura is indicating that he is getting furious. The tiger's aura started to emit a strong killing intent and immediately changed his target into Seth completely ignoring Hihi.
The demonic Tiger just opened it's mouth and inhaled a huge amount of air which created a small vortex. A huge dim crimson colored fire ball started to form causing the area to heat up. The surrounding trees started to burn.
After locking his target, the demonic beast blow the fire towards the direction of Seth who was standing on the other side. The fire that the demonic tiger created is an innate skill, it allows the user to control the air on the surrounding area forming it into a huge fire.
Feeling the attack coming his way, Seth didn't even looked at it and was just standing like there's nothing going on. He just treated the fireball as if it was invisible.
In just a few seconds the fireball hit Seth causing a huge explosion destroying the area, smoke started to rise from the ground covering everything. He saw that his target didn't even try to defend or dodge his attack and was hit head on, the demonic tiger's mouth curled forming into a sinister smile.
On the other side, Hihi couldn't help but worry. He felt regret that he wasn't able to protect his young master when he's just nearby.
"Seth-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
The demonic tiger felt relieve after seeing this scene. He started to calm down after knowing that he was able to avenge the death of his partner. The demonic tiger looked again at the area where the fireball hit and can see the smoke starting to disperse, when everything is clear he suddenly froze. What he's currently seeing in his eyes is something he can't accept. The human who was hit by his fireball is still standing there as if nothing happened, the only change is that there is a dark aura surrounding him and he feels like an illusion but aside from that he was unscathed. Hihi also froze in his place, he never expected seeing this technique. How can the young master learn this technique? he thought.

The technique that Seth used just now is one of the supreme commander's skills called Kyoka suigetsu, this is a technique created by the Nurarihyon during his younger years, it disorts an enemy's perception of the user by creating an illusion akin to an afterimage. Those under the influence of the technique can be easily outmaneuvered by the one using it. It's like a moon in the pond during daytime, it gives you the feeling that you can take the moon and when you touch the water surface it creates a ripple and would just waiver and remain in the same area.
"Impossible, what did you do? I definitely saw you being hit directly. What tricks did you used?!"
"Dead people doesn't have the right to know"
Hearing this reply, the demonic tiger felt uneasy. He felt like he forgot something and expanded his senses in the area where he noticed a big shadow which suddenly emerged behind his back, he slowly turn around and saw huge Ape-like hands which is about to grab his head. Feeling the power behind those hands the the demonic tiger decided to escape but suddenly found himself rooted in place unable to escape. He can only look helplessly at those big hands.
Seth just looked at scene where Hihi grabbed the demonic tigers head, who was trying to escape but couldn't.
'Crackle' 'Crackle'
Crackling sounds can be heard as Hihi's grip on his opponents head getting tighter. His opponent can only wiggle his body trying it's best to struggle and escape, but who could escape from Hihi's grip? back when he was still active this hand was called God of Death's hands. No matter how you struggle you can't escape as long as you were captured.
'psshhhhh'
Blood Started to spray from the demonic tiger's head.
Seth looked at the body of the two dead variant's.
His heart beat faster.
'fwwoooooosh'
The cold wind that was blowing, carried the smell of the blood.
