The Primal Hunter

Chapter 623

Villy didn’t even give Jake and Vesperia a chance to respond as he teleported all three of them into the living room, where the tea set from before was still present. The god waved his hand and cleared it, only for it to be replaced with new tea – and cookies – right after.

”So, as always, Jake, you underestimate the impact of your actions while I purposefully don’t make you aware of them before after the fact because I think it will lead to a more entertaining outcome,” Villy started out saying. ”And I will say that this time around, you truly have gone above and beyond. A Genesis Cosmic Worm and a Sylphian Hawk are both very interesting species, but they both have in common that they were not known, so they didn’t really attract that much attention. A True Royal of the ectognamorph race, on the other hand, now that is something people will notice.”

Jake wasn’t quite sure what to say. He could complain about Villy spurring him on, but that would seem rude to Vesperia, and he had ultimately wanted to do the ritual himself.

”What are you getting at?” Jake asked.

”I assume the Lineage Knowledge you inherited already made you aware of the importance of your existence to the Endless Empire?” Villy asked Vesperia, ignoring Jake.

She nodded respectfully in response.

The snake god smirked. ”Well, I will be nice and give Jake here a recap as he doesn’t. You see, he has this tendency to do things because he can, not because he should. He rarely considers the consequences, even when made aware of the potential significance of what he is doing, and-”

”I think she gets it,” Jake cut him off.

”That your Chosen displays such outstanding abilities and potential, even allowing him to do what was once thought impossible, is only a cause for celebration, is it not?” Vesperia also cut in, surprising Jake.

Her outburst seemed to surprise herself, too, as she quickly bowed.

”I apologize for my disrespect, Malefic One; I meant no offense,” she said apologetically and slightly afraid. Jake put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

”It’s fine,” he said, looking at Villy. ”Right?”

”Mm,” the Viper just hummed, keeping his attention on Vesperia. ”Interesting, isn’t it? You should have noticed by now that something is absent, shouldn’t you?”

”I… the presence of the Malefic One feels…” Vesperia also finally seemed to notice herself.

difference. While the True Royal had resistance, the moment that resistance was overcome, she had nothing to fight back. As for you, you don’t just have resistance but a presence of your own, able to make you pretty much immune unless someone can overcome it. Ah, but I must say even the resistance is impressive. The fact she didn’t pass out immediatly makes her innate resistance
