The Primordial Record novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281 Source Of The Hidden Danger

The Berserker Clone that was left walked up to the head of Erohim. With his death, the head was beginning to crumble to dust, as the skin cracked and withered away before his eyes, revealing bones underneath.

It was then that Rowan saw the true desecration that had been done to Erohim. The skull of the god was a strange sight as it also had four gaping holes for eyes, two nostrils and two mouths, but that was not almost as interesting as what had been done to the skull when its owner was still alive.

Deep holes and gouges filled the skull, as if someone had used a saw to scrape throughout the bones of the god and harvested ninety-nine percent of it, leaving just the frame behind, the deep wounds showed his marrow had been drained away, leaving nothing behind but dust and only the remains of alchemical devices used for this dastardly acts were left.

The reason he was able to kill the god with a single strike even though he used a Divine Weapon was due to the extremely depleted nature of the god.

His Knowledge Well revealed the truth, Erohim was nothing but a shell, he had been hollowed out and taken apart for every bit he was worth, and his life had been left hanging on a thread in order to harvest himself and his people for eternity.

Rowan recalled his reading about the houses and the gods of Trion, and it was said Boreas was the most benevolent of all the gods. If this was the actions of the most benevolent, what catastrophe was the worst of them capable of?

Any sense of fulfillment he might have felt for killing a god disappeared, even his bloodline agreed, there was nothing noble or victorious in killing someone who had been reduced to such a state. If he was ever to become something like this, Rowan did not know if he would want to continue living or would wish for someone else to end his pain.

His Knowledge Well was still blaring out the warning of a source of danger, and now Rowan realized that the source of danger was not coming from the skull of Erohim, but from something inside of it.

Stretching forth his hand, he activated Bash dozens of times and a gigantic bloody palm manifested in front of him and he sent it towards the skull, at precisely the moment of contact, he activated smash on the bloody palm another dozens of times. This merger of the technique at the exact moment they touched the skull multiplied the power of the move three times over, such a delicate use of his powers was another benefit of Knowledge Well, and with a loud crack, the skull of Erohim split in two, revealing what was inside.

Rowan was baffled at first by what he was catching sight of because it was covered by something that was moving and appeared to be alive, but when he understood what he was looking at, his eyes widened, and he took a step back in shock.

So this was where it had been kept. It did not take long to understand it was common sense for something like this to be here.
