The Primordial Record novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362 The Hunt Begins

Andar small town was greeted with a loud bang from an explosion, and everyone in the street looked with dread as the entire top half of the four-story laboratory of the esteemed Alchemist in their town rose as if gripped by the hand of a giant before it slammed down destroying the entire building and any others in its vicinity.

A huge wave of dust and debris was scattered as many chemicals and reagents kept inside the laboratory began releasing fumes and some of them combusted, creating many-colored flames that lit up the skies.

Luckily enough, the Alchemist had purchased the entire street decades ago, and the houses there were empty, else the casualties would have been in the hundreds.

Two figures emerged from the dust, Silas and a shaken Mayor, who was finding it difficult to comprehend the quick changes happening, just a moment ago, they had all been smiling and celebrating the birth of a profound genius, now… it was all chaos.

Silas roughly turned the Mayor to face himself, "Find that duplicitous son of a cantankerous whore!" Silas spat his outrage in the face of the Mayor.

It did not take long for Silas to put together all the little pieces that he had missed when he had been enraptured by surprise, especially when he questioned the Mayor about the so-called communication hideout, and the man informed him that indeed they were usually such blackouts, but it did not last for more than a few minutes, any more than that, then the supervisors in charge know their heads would roll.

Silas was about to give a new order to the flustered Mayor when the Communication device on his waist lit up, he saw the imprint on the surface of the device and like a deflated balloon, all his outrage left his body only to be replaced by deep terror.

He began to shiver and he held the Device aloft in the air with magic and he backed away and bowed, his eyes fixed on the ground.

"Don't look up, you fool," Silas whispered furiously at the startled Mayor.

The Mayor was slow to respond and the words of Silas even made him inquisitive, he looked at the floating device, and he shrieked, his eyes bulged from his sockets and his head exploded.

The explosion did not stop at his head and continued down his body until there was nothing left. What was even more strange was that his body was blown into bloody bits but into pieces of red glass.

A soft female voice came from over the Communication Device, "I see my disciple is still fond of handing over his duties to his servants. I have received several urgent alerts from you Silas, for the fact you choose to contact me instead of your master must mean you have something important to tell me. Have there been any new developments in your task? Wait, don't answer that, my image is already here, let me see for myself."
