The Primordial Record novel Chapter 673

Chapter 673 I Can Smell Her

Maeve stood up in alarm as she noticed that there were three distinct presences falling onto the planet. Their speed was fast as they quickly circled the planet before they seemed to detect her position and they began to descend near her position.

Maeve urged her Spirit to scan these intruders but she could not glean much from them, only a sensation of bleeding flesh that stank of corroded oil, polluted flames, and deep rot, but that was enough for her to know what was coming…

Abominations!

The grin that broke out on her face was almost feral. These were the bastards that caused her lord distress and great pain. She had been praying for the day she could find them again, and her prayer had been answered as the universe chose to deliver them to her doorstep.

She could not ascend to godhood with these sorts of distractions around, but she was okay with this, slaughtering these Abominations would just be the primer needed for her to become a goddess.

Covering herself in shadows drawn from the smoke from her budding Pyre flames, she began to slink towards the location of the landing Abominations.

As she moved, multiple shadows escaped from her body and drilled into the ground or vanished into the air.

Maeve was slowly creating a choke point where she could butcher her enemies, determined not to let a single one of them escape. Her green eyes flashed before they were covered by shadows and she vanished.

Three massive bodies slammed into the ground, cracking the earth for thousands of feet and sending shockwaves into the air, for they did not slow down until they touched down, creating three massive craters that glowed with heat as the sand liquefied and cooled into glass.

Dust and smoke covered these descended arrivals before a harsh wind blowing from the south revealed their forms, which turned out to be three massive spider-like creatures, with the movements from their bodies they appeared to be alive, as their seven legs dug straightened up a bit after absorbing the shock of their descent.

Each of these creatures was almost five hundred feet in circumference and if their appendages that gripped the ground were added then they could easily be bigger than a thousand feet.

A loud hissing sound escaped from them as a large port opened in their center and these spider-like creatures parted in half revealing tens of thousands of figures.

The silence was broken as multiple thousands of Reapers, these seventeen-foot-tall Abominations began to spread around, their four arms digging into the ground as they assumed a more animalistic form as they went on all fours, this change was made so they could become faster on land.

They escaped from the craters and began to spread covering the entire perimeter like locust, until the earth surrounding this area had been filled with their numbers. A rough estimate would place the Reapers here to be about thirty-five thousand.
