The Primordial Record novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 Deep Sea Blues (3)

"You spoke of a deal, Augustus. I will hear it." Rowan said, deciding to push directly to the point, he would never believe a single word spoken by this man, unless it was given under the administration of Rowan.

He had too much ignorance about what was happening, and the General could easily deceive him, there was no reason why he would make Rowan more powerful by showing him the whole picture.

The General brought out a gray stone with a flick of his wrist, a silver light shimmered around a bracelet on his wrist.

A Spatial Artifact. Rowan had to get his hands on one of these, and then he focused on the gray stone in the General's hand, was that a Rune Stone? This should be the Central Control Unit of the Nexus.

Rowan was tempted to attack the General at this moment, but he pushed that urge aside, it would destabilize his plans, also he was curious about what the General was planning.

"Eh… Straight to the point. I admire that trait in a man. Very well, I will be direct. This is the key to the Control Hub, I seized it from the hands of Boris, and with this key, I have limited control over the administration of the Nexus."

"These controls include direct management of all the Flying eyes inside the Nexus, I have access to their feeds and also what they are able to broadcast out of the Nexus, I have been manipulating every data that…"

"Flying Eyes? Kind of an unimaginative name." Rowan interrupted.

He was not wrong, he had felt the burst of irritation inside the General. Rowan discovered very early on that his Spatial Sight could now judge the emotions inside a person, the increase in his Spirit coupled with the fact that he knew that Spatial Sight was connected to his Soul, made him guess a part of the reason.

His Soul Reaver bloodline made it straightforward for him to detect the emotions that the soul of an individual gave out, it did not depend at all on their body language, or at least he thought so, the abilities of the Soul Reaver bloodline were vague and mysterious.

Moreover, he had noticed that his Soul had increased in depth, which in turn fed into his Spirit and increased that attribute of his that had been lagging way behind his other Stats.

It did not take long for him to find the reason for the increase, it was due to the two Soul flames he had harvested from the body parts kept inside the Vestibulary.

Soul Reaver had merged those souls with his own, increasing his Spirit. If this new ability had manifested as a result of his increasing Spirit, it was another reason why he should quickly increase the Soul Reaver bloodline for an easy boost in that Stat.

Yet, he hoped to practice with all the abilities relating to the spirit first, to boost that attribute before touching Soul Reaver.

This ability to read emotion did not work really well for individuals with a strong mindset, like the General. Apart from the brief flash of anger and irritation he was reading from his soul, the rest was a blank slate, only giving him a sensation of intense focus.

He had finished experimenting with this ability, so he stopped his awkward acts and listened to the General.

On the face of the General was a blank look of surprise, as if he were unsure why Rowan would interrupt him as he was making his climactic assertions, before he feigned a cough and went along with it,

"I suppose you are right, Rowan. But the name fits their purpose perfectly enough, and that's all that matters. Of course, you've killed them all, so it's a moot point anyway."

"Then I guess my babies can snack on the rest." Rowan smiled.
