The Primordial Record novel Chapter 944

Chapter 944 Unreasonable Affection.

It was not an easy thing to drive a being like Elura to speechlessness, but the extreme shift in Rowan's actions nearly gave her whiplash. A moment before, there had not been true killing intents in his blows, but they were close as if he was almost punishing her.

For a while, there was nothing but silence, but the boisterous laughter of the old man broke it, "How long has it been since I have seen you, surprised daughter? You know when you woke me up from my Era long sleep, I thought that reality had nothing to reveal to my gaze, and… hahaha, your hair, your perfect hair, you look like a hamster, hahaha…"

Elura turned to him in anger, but the old man raised his hand in a harsh swipe, his mirth vanishing instantly and his tone carrying a tone of majesty, it was as if his emotions were nothing but a tool, he allowed himself to truly feel them, but he could easily place them aside, this observation made Rowan's eyes to light up, there was something here for him to learn,

"You have forgotten something essential in your anger daughter," the old man's smooth voice did not only caught Rowan's attention but also Elura's, who frowned and waited for him to continue, "and your son has revealed it to you, he is still a mortal, and we were both wrong!"

'Wrong?!' this word drew Elura's full attention, it was rare that this old man would ever admit any failings, whatever he had seen in Rowan was so precious enough, that he was willing to brush his ego aside and speak candidly to her. This change was surprising, to say the least.

Noticing that he had her full attention, he continued, "Previously I thought he was just the normal heartless monster that we have flooding around reality, with every thought in his heart only for the pursuit of power, a side effect of acquiring tremendous power as a youth, but we were wrong, he was just protecting his fragile core with an armor of cold and thorns."

Rowan blinked, 'Oh, but I think I'm just the normal heartless monster who knows nothing but the greedy pursuit of personal power, why would you ever think anything else?! It would seem attacking Elura brought about an additional benefit,' A small part of Rowan's Consciousness gave an over-exaggerated fist pump. He had been willing to shed his disguise of a soulful being before the eyes of these people who could read the depthless emotions he carried when he noticed that they could see the traits that came from not having a soul.

Nevertheless, the fact that he was Soulless was not something that was known to them and was easily the last thing that anyone would guess, and this might have led to a surprising misunderstanding, Rowan had forgotten that unwieldy emotions as he had displayed could be perceived in a different manner when it was looked at from a different point of view.

It could signify that one was a master manipulator who played everyone around them, his emotion as fickle and changeable as the wind, or it could be the sign of an overwhelmed mind trying to find a way to stay above the waves.

If he was still a mortal in the eyes of all and possessed a mortal soul, then no matter how powerful he was, certain events would overwhelm his soul. This was a perfect description of the Rowan who transmigrated into the universe a thousand years ago.

Rowan sighed internally, 'In the end, it would seem that allowing the weakness of my heart to dictate my actions was the right move, who am I deceiving, even if Elura turned out to be a Primordial, I would have attacked. I am a soulless monster, but when it comes to the things I love, I am unreasonable. I don't care if this is Elura, she is not my Elura, and for that reason, I'm sorry Mother, but you would have to change for me. No one else should wear that body." _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
