Powerless

The dragon flames were Seth's most powerful attack, one that had always helped him triumph over the toughest of opponents, but at the moment, Seth could only watch as his flames were blocked with undisputable ease, and then, to his anguish, the garden of flames which he was standing smackdab in suddenly got hotter.

The piercing pain from the increase in flame intensity had Seth screaming within his mind, but he forced back the scream that threatened to leave his lips.

The truth was that the dragon fire Seth was currently releasing was his last card to play, and were he to stop releasing the flames from his mouth, then it was all over. 

With the amount of qi he had consumed just initiating this attack, ending the attack would leave Seth breathless and without qi to start any other attack, so without argument, Seth had to make something of his dragon flames.
