Each word on an edge comprises 4-5 unique letters. Each word on a vertex comprises all of the letters, and only the letters, of the words on the two adjacent edges. By this logic, the two missing words are STRAFING and TENACIOUS.
seaRING - GINR - secuRING - cesu - TeNAcIOus - AINOT - relATIONs - elrs - TrIANGles - AGINT - evANGelIsT - elsv - NOvelIsTIC - CINOT - fraCTIONs - afrs - sTrafING - GINT - seaTING - aes - seaRING
