The Primal Hunter

Chapter 480

Bright light entered his eyes as he stepped through the portal. Jake instantly felt several powerful auras all around him, recognizing most of them. They came through their own portals that rapidly appeared and disappeared all around him within what he found to be a large spherical room.

Metal plates covered the walls and floor, with nothing of note visible anywhere besides the people. That is until Jake noticed that the room was split in two by a large, fully transparent plane of glass. All of the humans were on one side, along with Sylphie and the Fallen King, but on the other side, Jake saw other beings appear. All of them were beasts or monsters of various forms, with there being no rhyme or reason to what appeared. One was a large elemental crackling with lightning, and another a rabbit-like creature only a bit larger than Sylphie.

Speaking of Sylphie. The little murder hawk flew over to him once she located him, and Jake quickly found Miranda and Arnold, who both stood together. Sultan also walked over as they all met up.

”Been a while,” Jake said with a smile as they gathered and had some small-talk to quickly catch up. All around them, other factions also found each other. Jake did notice how a lot of people he would expect to be there were noticeably absent. Jacob was nowhere to be found, and neither was Eron. The Sword Saint and a few people from the Noboru clan were there, but one thing quickly became clear: this was no factional event.

No faction had more than a few people each. Casper and Priscilla were the only Risen, the Sword Saint was with three other people, his brother had come with two from the Court, and the King had appeared alone. Carmen and Sven were also the only people from Valhal. Most powerful people from independent factions had appeared alone, and the only faction with more than ten people was the Holy Church. They just had so many people it was possible. Overall, around one-fifty people had entered this event from the looks of it, meaning close to five hundred Primas had been killed.

”Lord Thayne,” Sultan greeted Jake as he regarded him. ”I take it you came straight from a battle?”

”Yeah,” Jake just said, not wanting to elaborate further. Too many people around. ”Good job getting keys, everyone. Anyone figured out more about this event?”

Nobody answered or didn’t have time to as something finally happened. A fluctuation in space caught his attention, and Jake whipped around as a new figure appeared. A floating orb of metal had teleported into the room, getting the attention of everyone.

The orb looked like it was made out of polished aluminum and had no noticeable traits except for a glowing blue eye-like fixture. Jake felt nothing but a bit of energy coming out of it as he used Identify.

It only had a single question mark as level. Jake did not think this was because its level was in the single digits, but quite the opposite. It was strong, yet Jake felt no danger. As he thought this, he suddenly got a quest notification.

Quest Completed: The Call of the Exalted Prima.

Reward Received: Key of the Exalted Prima has been upgraded and become Soulbound. One entry into the Path of Myriad Choices event granted.

He quickly skimmed it, something it looked like everyone did, considering they all stared blankly for a moment. A few kept their attention on the floating orb, clearly ready for a fight. Yet it just floated there for a solid ten seconds before addressing them.

”Welcome to the Seat of the Exalted Prima located within the Milky Way Galaxy. To both the Prima Slayers and surviving Primas. All Prima Slayers have been awarded a single entry into the system-tier Path of Myriad Choices event.
