The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1096

Chapter 1096: Say My Name

When Storm Hammer picked up the child, with the strength of his body that this foul race held it was difficult for her to know his rank, but she pegged him for a Legend-ranked Explorer, a surprising feat anywhere else in the realm. Still, she understood that this continent was filled with nothing but freaks and abominations. She had once told the other Ascendants that it was a good thing that this corrupted race could not reach powers equal to the Ascendant level because, with their rate of growth in a century or less, they would hold a corner of the realm, but she was always shot down, nothing could reach such an exaggerated rate of growth.

Despite all that, she was among those who made sure that the Blood Bounds were placed under harsh conditions where no room for growth was allowed, and over the millennia she had made sure that every report leaving the continent about the welfare of these people always passed through her eyes.

Therefore the sight before her where this child seemed to be regenerating his head was surprising because such an unreasonable healing capability was something that a Deific Ranked Explorer with a Natal Treasure and technique focused on healing should be able to achieve, but there was no spark around him to indicate the activation of a Natal Treasure and if this was a technique channeled from elsewhere, she would have known.

Was there a massive formation underneath the earth linking this strange boy to a fountain of vitality? The hidden mystery beneath the earth that Jerediah was pursuing, had it finally been activated, and was that the cause of all these changes on the surface?

Storm Hammer was aware of an artifact that had been discovered beneath the earth and was waiting for news about it, and she suspected that everything that was happening here, all the changes in these people, including the healing capabilities of this child was linked to it. Was it possible that the artifact belonged to the strange creature that entered the realm nearly a million years ago?

The hand of the child that was reaching for his missing head finally brushed the wriggling muscles and bones that were gathering into a ball around his neck and he flinched as if he felt pain in touching the naked flesh that was yet without any skin.

In a second his head was recreated and his pale green skin and red hair flush with vitality were revealed, the eyes of the young boy opened and he was no longer smiling, he touched his heart for a few seconds as if he had come to a great realization before he stood back to his feet,

"That was very rude, Ascendant, and it hurt a lot. I did not wish to fight you, at least, not yet."

Storm Hammer was not even listening to the child, she asked in puzzlement, "How are you still in one piece and lost only your head? You should be nothing but ash."

"No more questions," the boy shook his head angrily, "I will make you create monsters for me, not talk."

Storm Hammer chuckled, "You silly little brat. Make me?" a peal of mad laughter erupted from her throat, "I do not know what madness this is, or how you are alive, I am sure you are part of the new changes sweeping across this continent, but I don't care, you do not know who I am, but I have tortured and butchered your foul race all through the ages and I suspect that in all the times I have done it, I will enjoy this one the most! Nothing like killing the same person multiple times to get the juices flowing."
