The Primal Hunter

Chapter 917

The phrasing of words is essential when communicating; everyone knows that. Jake was quite known for sometimes not thinking through what he was saying, but sometimes, he knew exactly what he said. Sometimes, it was just really fun to fuck with people a bit, especially when what you said was entirely truthful.

Miranda had simply given him too good of a setup for Jake to miss the opportunity. It was just perfect. The reaction of Miranda was great as her eyes narrowed in confusion and disbelief… with the one from Holstred and the two who had arrived with him just pure gold as their eyes opened wide as if they had just heard something they really shouldn’t have.

“Jake… what exactly do you mean when you say that the Chosen of the Boundless Hydra died?” Miranda asked after a bit, having clearly sussed out that Jake was messing with her somehow.

“Well, what happened is that we went to the moon,” Jake began.

“Right.”

“And then Sandy wanted to explore the core and met the B-grade ghost haunting the moon deep inside the thing,” he continued.

Miranda nodded.

“This ghost then killed Sandy,” Jake finished.

“To fully clarify, is the Chosen dead as of this moment?” Miranda sighed.

“No? Not right now, as far as I know.”

“Then how exactly was the Chosen of the Lord Protector considered dead?”

“By being killed,” Jake shrugged as if she was asking the most obvious question in the world.

“But they are not dead anymore, correct?” Miranda said with a high level of exasperation.

“Sandy got better.”

“Right… right,” Miranda nodded slowly. “So, to conclude, the Chosen is not actually dead. So where are they right now?”

“Went back to the Order to recuperate. Turns out dying isn’t healthy for you. Who would’ve known?” Jake said with a grin.

“Okay, this was a very enlightening conversation,” Miranda said, as he saw a glint in her eye that made Jake aware she wanted to make him do work stuff. “Now, what’s this about us having to discuss setting up a Minaga’s Labyrinth?”

As she asked, she also threw a look at Holstred and the two others, making them bow and leave. This left only Jake, Lillian, and Miranda remaining in the meeting room. Jake had feared he wouldn’t escape having to set it up now after using Miranda’s return as an excuse for not having done it yet.

“See, while it may have been an excuse I made up in the moment, I do actually think it’s something worth discussing with you,” Jake said in a pretty serious tone. “In fact, I’m pretty sure I told Minaga back when I got it that I would likely just hand it to you.”

“We both know it’s more likely you would have forgotten all about the item. Anyway, I have heard a bit about these Labyrinths while at Nevermore. If I remember correctly, they are temporary dungeons that contain an image of Minaga within, with some of the better ones even having a real clone. However, I’m not sure they can be truly viewed as strategic resources. As far as I remember, they have limited usage and a relatively short duration they can exist,” Miranda said.

“Yeah, about that,” Jake scratched the back of his head. “The one I got is a bit better than the average.”
