The Primordial Record
chapter-678

The Remnant of Lamia had snapped and gone insane.

As her Champion had surmised, Lamia no longer trusted anyone or anything, and she did not crave an equal partnership, only dominion, because she truly felt no one else had the capability to stand against Trion like she could for she was a true Child of Trion.

She knew Rowan had endless growth potential, but she wanted to seize it for herself. It was the only way she could truly rise again after losing her Core to Trion, what was left in the body of Augustus could be barely called a shadow of Lamia, before she could reach her previous strength, it could take millions of years, far too late… by then, the universe would be….

Even in her insanity Lamia still shuddered when she remembered the brief flash she had seen of the plans of Trion, and her panic was swept below the surface before arising again. She needed to consume Rowan Kuranes!

In order to do this she needed leverage, and knowing Rowan was a sentimental fool, she was determined to seize the one that was closest to him and use her as bait or a bargaining chip.

With his potential and her ability to grow stronger via evolution, they could reach the pinnacle… she could reach the pinnacle, even exceeding her previous core!

Lamia did not think Rowan would be as powerful as her even in this weakened state she found herself in. Disregarding any of her Reapers that were as powerful as Earth gods, her Champion was as powerful as a Major God!

It had been less than two decades since she last saw the enigmatic figure of Rowan and no matter how fast his growth was to be, he would not be stronger than a god, and that should be giving him too much credit.

Yet in a blink of an eye, all her suppositions turned out to be quite useless, for here she was driven to the edge of death by his fucking maid.

If only she knew that Rowan was a Nascent Primordial, but it could not be blamed on her inattentiveness. Lamia could not comprehend that level of power talk less to imagine that Rowan could be something like that.

She had underestimated the rate of his growth, and the hand she had to play with was now severely weak, yet in her mind that had been bent by madness, she still thought she could start over, she just needed to kill this maid, and try with another vassal of Rowan, one that was weaker.

"Kill them!!!"

The Abomination Champion was still, he seemed to consider something for a short while, his bone mask retracted as he exited battle mode, before he said, "No more."

Lamia shrieked, "What do you mean….aarrrhhh.."

With a flourish of his blade, the Abomination Champion stabbed Augustus through the neck, and in a series of moves that would place every mortal surgeon to shame, he neatly separated Lamia's head from Augustus's torso.

He swung his blade to the side to get rid of the foul yellow blood and absorbed the blade back into his body.

Lamia's eyes were filled with shock and as her head fell from the body she began to scream obscenities. The hundreds of veins around her neck stump and her skull began to bleed furiously and in a short while, it created a rather deep puddle of blood.

Due to the fact that she was face down, Lamia began to choke on her blood, she could no longer curse effectively because her blood had covered her face. She began to furiously drink the blood so she could have space to scream but it was useless.

The blood she drank just drained out of the stump of her neck, and her crazed screams were drowned inside her own blood.

Absomet watched the crazy Abomination Core and she shook her head as she silently kneeled.

She was startled when a crazed laughter came from Augustus who staggered to the screaming head of Lamia, he fell to his knees from weakness due to blood loss, but he resolutely dragged himself to her, inch by inch, the yellow blood of the abominations had left his body and he left a trail of red behind him as he crawled to Lamia, he did not stop laughing.

The Abomination Core had retreated from her madness long enough for her to use her long tongue to push her head around until she could face upward.

When she saw Augustus coming, her eyes widened in surprise and joy, "Yes, my most loyal slave, come to me, I will make you my Champion…"

Augustus giggled, "Your Champion?... hehehe… fucking Champion… the curses you have given me, is it not enough? still, you want to add more to it…"

With a burst of strength siphoned deep from his body Augustus reached Lamia and seized her by her stringy hair, the few dull eyes growing on her hair were squeezed so tight that it exploded, and with his other hand he started raining blows on her face, barely having time to curse at her through his blows,

"I… don't..want…to…be…your…fucking…champion…i… want..you…

to…die…like…a…dog… you took everything for me…. Even my last chance to do a single good thing in my wretched existence!"

A flash of light passed as a blade sliced off Augustus's arm at the shoulder, "That's enough," the Champion kept his blade, "You have had your say, you are dying Augustus, look to the skies and say your last words to the breeze. If there is any mercy in the universe, your last words would be taken to your father."

Augustus snarled, his features twisted with hate, he observed his missing right arm for a brief moment and dismissing it as unimportant, he began using his left hand to smash against the screaming face of Lamia, he could not do as much damage however, but Lamia's features were already ravaged.

Her nose had been flattened, and she was missing most of her teeth, her left eye was swollen shut, and deep lacerations covered her face.

The Abomination Champion sighed and another flash of light removed Augustus' left hand. The crazed man barely paused before he began attacking her with his teeth like a crazed beast.
