The Primal Hunter

Chapter 809

So, Jake was used to quite a few reactions when he revealed he was the Chosen of the Malefic Viper. Most reacted with fear, confusion, and then some level of reverence and respect. The majority of the time, it was not toward Jake but toward what he represented.

However, when it came to poor Temlat, he never got further than the fear stage. He froze entirely as his face went white, and he stared at Jake with wide-open eyes. His mouth opened and closed a few times as if he tried to say some words but failed at every turn. The reaction was way over the top compared to what Jake had expected, as he felt such intense fear from the young man. As if he expected Jake to do something far worse than just killing him at any moment.

That is when Jake realized a little something… in the ninety-third era, Villy was still a Primordial, sure, but he was also just one of many gods. Not to mention all the other pinnacle factions people knew of. Throughout the years, the number of gods multiplied and, due to this, got more and more involved with mortals as their factions spread and consumed more territory.

In the second era, it wasn’t like this. Back then, there were only twelve “true” gods. The twelve Primordials. Jake had read a few old history tomes Villy had left in Jake’s library back in the Order for fun, a few of which were written all the way back in the second era. The way they described the Primordials was far different, including the way they described the Malefic Viper himself.

You see… Villy was not exactly known to be a good guy back then. Not that he was now, but back in the day, it was far worse. It was during the days when the Viper was still doing everything to continue growing in power, destroying anything and anyone that got in his way. He was truly a villain of the multiverse, so for Jake to come and advertise himself as his Chosen was the same as saying he was some harbinger of doom and destruction.

Jake was a bit perplexed as to how he should approach this but decided to lean into Temlat’s understanding of Jake. If he thought his teacher was some semi-divine being, that would just mean that when Jake convinced him to not be a doormat and make his own decisions and improvements, Jake would have accomplished a more impressive feat.

“Is that truly the limit of your desire for revenge? That the mere identity of someone can make you give up?” Jake said. “In that case, you truly aren’t worthy of another moment of my time. You can go back where you came from and live your pitiful life and wallow in despair until your owner gets tired of you.”

Temlat’s eyes seemed to come to life a little bit as Jake continued.

“Or do you want me to kill you right here and now? Are you satisfied with this being the end of your Path? An opportunity squandered due to your own pathetic fear?”

“I…” he finally said. “I… I want to get stronger, but-“

“No, that sentence was already over. You want to get stronger. Then do that. Grasp every opportunity given and take all you can until one day, the targets of your revenge lay slain before you,” Jake said in a loud voice. “So what do you want? To die a mere “pet” or to become someone no one will ever dare look down upon?”

“I am not a fucking pet,” Temlat said in an almost growling voice.

“I take that as a yes?” Jake asked.

Without any hesitation, Temlat kneeled down and went as far as to press his forehead to the ground. “Master, please-“

getting out of the portal room, Jake let Temlat take in the environment of the House of the Architect as he walked slowly. Say what you will, but the extravagant place filled with servants and expensive-looking decor did look like somewhere the Chosen of a Primordial could reside, especially to someone like Temlat, who seemed to have the understanding that someone like Jake, who was only mid-tier C-grade, was
