The Primal Hunter

Chapter 256

Jake was confused, Felix excited, Chris super confused, and Villy was laughing hysterically in Jake’s head.

It took Jake a moment to realize that Villy had seriously just blessed someone just to fuck with him as a setup for this joke. Along with the hug, the old snake god seemed to have one hell of a time. Too bad for Villy… two could play that game.

Felix looked expectantly at Chris, who looked nervously up at Jake for guidance. They had attracted quite a lot of attention as Felix seemed to be a bit of a local celebrity. Now that same shine was put on Chris, who everyone looked at. Only a few gave Jake a glance, which was actually quite nice.

Jake took charge and said: “Please, let us take this somewhere more private. His lordship does not wish to flaunt his position.”

This earned him even more confused glances from Chris, but Jake just looked at him back, trying to convey the young man should play along with the joke.

It didn’t work. The young man still looked panicky.

Felix shifted his attention to Jake and mumbled. “Yes… I understand. Please follow me!”

Putting a hand on Chris’ shoulder, Jake led him to follow him and Felix into a side room. A large enchanted door separated the room from the rest of the temple, and upon entering, it was clear this was a workshop. Tools lined the walls, and two half-built statues stood in the center of the room. Enchantments also seemed to nicely isolate the room from the rest of the temple.

“Now! Please, I must know… I felt the aura… but… which Primordial blessed you? Was it Stormild? Wyrmgod? No… you’re a builder… the Starseizing Titan? Rigoria? Please, I must know!” Felix said with fanatic fervor.

Yep, this guy is a loony, Jake thought. Had the dude been making too many statues and now found his mind broken by godly auras? Or was it something else?

“Before answering, please let us know why you desire this information?” Jake said, continuing to play his role of bodyguard or assistant or… well, he hadn’t really decided on a set role. He was improvising.

“Yes… sorry I was just too excited. Allow me to introduce myself once more. I am Felix, a newly joined member of the Primordial Church and blessed by the Eternal Servant. Sculpting is my creed, and after being shown the magnificence of the Primordials, my life goal has been to depict one… naturally only with the approval of one blessed by them,” Felix explained, clearly putting in the effort to stay calm.

“I… I think there is a misunderstanding,” Chris said, as he had built up the courage to explain himself. “I just received my blessing a few minutes ago from Lord Thayne.”

He pointed at Jake – that little snitch – forcing him to stop the play… and enter another role. Villy wouldn’t get off cheap.

“You’re… but I feel no aura? I should be able to… I have a skill to see, so…” Felix said while looking at Jake, unsure if Chris was telling the truth.

“Chris, you tell him,” Jake said. Totally not because he wasn’t sure how to explain the situation and make himself seem cool and mysterious meanwhile.

“Lord Thayne touched me and gave me a blessing related to the Malefic Viper… he was the one with it first,” Chris explained. Granted, the kid didn’t know much, but apparently, just the mention of the Malefic Viper was enough.

Felix looked to be flummoxed for a moment and didn’t respond. He paused. Looked almost to be in a trance for several seconds.

Then… another aura appeared. Felix’s eyes glowed a deep blue for a split second. One of his eyes returned to normal, but the other kept shining, and the aura remained… the aura of a god. Tears began pouring out of his eyes as he fell to his knees.
