I'm The Devil - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Cain Vs Seth

In the shadow of the ancient mountains, Cain and Seth stood facing each other, the weight of their shared lineage heavy upon their shoulders. Cain’s eyes, filled with a mixture of anguish and resentment, bore into Seth’s as he struggled to contain the turmoil within him.

“Seth,” Cain’s voice was a low growl, tainted with bitterness, “you were never meant to be. You were a replacement, a feeble attempt to fill the void left by Abel’s absence.”

Seth’s brow furrowed in confusion, his heart heavy with the weight of Cain’s words. “But I am your brother, Cain,” he pleaded, his voice tinged with sorrow. “We share the same blood, the same flesh and bone. How can you turn against me?”

Cain’s gaze hardened, his fists clenched at his sides as the memories of his rejection flooded his mind. “Our parents forgot about me, Seth,” he spat, his voice filled with venom. “They cast me aside, forsaking me for the memory of Abel. And now, they have replaced him with you, as if I never existed.”

Seth’s heart broke at the pain and resentment in Cain’s words, his sorrow mirrored in his brother’s eyes. “Cain, please,” he implored, reaching out a hand in a gesture of reconciliation. “We can find a way to heal from the wounds of the past. We can forge a new path, together.”

But Cain’s rage consumed him, his vision clouded by the ghosts of his suffering. With a primal roar, he lunged at Seth, his hands grasping for the hilt of his blade. “It is too late for us, Seth,” he growled, his voice thick with emotion. “The sins of our past can never be erased.”

Cain said looking at Seth, with his eyes blazing red and fangs out but Seth could not see them as he was currently blinded by Cain.

After his transformation into a Primordial Vampire, Cain cannot return home as the time he did so, he nearly killed his wife, and their children, and if not for his strong will, he wondered what would have become of them.

So he left them and traveled the world looking for a new place to settle down when he happened to chance upon a man who happened to be his brother, Seth, a replacement for Abel.

He engaged the fellow in a discussion and found out that he was indeed his brother and from the way he speaks about his family, it seems that he was not aware of the event that took place.

He believed that the first set of kids his parents conceived were all dead leaving his parents sad.

But as time passed, Cain told him the truth about him while also telling him about how he was going to kill since he reminded him so much of Abel and how he wanted to make his parents sad for forsaking him.

Seth knew that he was not the firstborn of his parents but believed them to be dead. He had been raised with the understanding that tragedy had struck his family before his birth, claiming the lives of his older siblings. His parents, Adam and Eve, had mourned their loss deeply, and Seth grew up under the weight of their grief.

However, as Cain revealed the truth of his origins, Seth’s world was turned upside down. The siblings he had thought to be long gone were, in fact, alive, well technically, one of them and he was the other one’s replacement. The revelation shook Seth to his core, leaving him grappling with a newfound sense of identity and purpose.

Despite the shock and confusion, Seth refused to succumb to despair. Instead, he resolved to forge his own path, untethered from the shadows of his family’s past. He knew that he could not change the circumstances of his birth, but he could determine the course of his future.

In that pivotal moment, as Seth faced down his brother, he found strength in the knowledge that he was more than the sum of his lineage. He was Seth, son of Adam and Eve, bearer of a legacy marred by tragedy but tempered by resilience.

As the tension crackled between them, Cain’s intentions became clear. He no longer saw Seth as a brother but as a means to inflict further pain upon their parents. With a snarl of anger, Cain lunged at Seth, his fangs bared and eyes blazing with fury.

In the unequal confrontation between Cain and Seth, Seth found himself at a significant disadvantage. While Cain possessed formidable supernatural abilities as a Primordial Vampire, Seth had no such powers to call upon. He relied solely on his mortal strength and combat skills, which paled in comparison to his brother’s dark and ancient powers.

As Cain unleashed his vampiric abilities upon him, Seth could only struggle to defend himself, relying on sheer determination and resilience to withstand the onslaught. With each strike, Seth felt the weight of Cain’s supernatural strength bearing down upon him, pushing him to the brink of exhaustion.

Despite his lack of supernatural abilities, Seth fought on with unwavering resolve, refusing to succumb to his brother’s relentless assault. He dodged and parried Cain’s attacks as best he could, searching for any opening that might allow him to turn the tide of battle.

However, Cain’s overwhelming power proved too much for Seth to overcome. With each passing moment, Seth’s energy waned, his movements growing slower and more labored as the fight took its toll on him. Despite his valiant efforts, it became increasingly clear that victory was beyond his reach.

In the end, Seth found himself outmatched and overpowered by his vampiric brother. As Cain delivered the final, decisive blow, Seth could only watch helplessly as darkness enveloped him, his body battered and broken upon the ground. In his final moments, Seth could only wonder how it had come to this, lamenting the tragic turn of events that had led to his untimely demise at the hands of his own flesh and blood.
