The Primordial Record novel Chapter 2033

Chapter 2033: Traps Within Traps

Eos eyes tightened a bit as he looked at Nyxara on the floor. Her appearance had changed, and she took a form that combined all the best features of the women he had known in his life, from past lovers to his friends.

Walking over until he was directly standing over her, Eos began to slowly look at her from her head to her toe, there was no desire in his eyes; instead, it was as if he was taking her apart with his gaze.

Nyxara shuddered, her heart beginning to beat fast as a thrill of fear shot through her spine, but she remained still, her beautiful multicolored eyes widening like a startled deer in front of a thunderstorm.

"Where are they?" Eos finally said, stretching out his hand to the Primordial lying in front of him, "My family."

Nyxara smiled, "Look closer, Eos."

Blinking, Eos changed the method he used in looking at Nyxara. He was previously looking for weaknesses in her defenses, and if he had found them, then he would have thrown away the plan and struck to kill her. However, although he had found several weaknesses, they were not true flaws, but traps set by Nyxara.

The trap she had set for him was particularly wicked. If he were aware of the true power that Nyxara was gaining from the fusion of Soul and Light, then the weaknesses he was seeing would lead him to directly strike her, since she was presently revealing glimpses of the ongoing fusion of power inside her soul.

It was a good thing that Eos knew that Nyxara might test him if he knew the true might of her powers. She was going to give him free rein to kill her siblings, and she knew Eos would not be foolish enough to strengthen her if he knew how much power she was bound to gain from this act.

So she had shown him glimpses of this true power, and if there was any recognition in his eyes, she would have called in her brethren, and they would have slaughtered him.

There were two layers to this deception; the first layer was the power she had shown in the fight, and then beneath that layer was her true strength. Eos was only supposed to see that first layer, but if he had, for the briefest of moments, glimpsed the second layer, Nyxara would kill him.

This was the real test here; it was why she was naked, and she made sure she took the features of all the women he knew from the past, inviting his gaze.

Eos had passed the first trial, but it was not over. Nyxara had told him to look closer at her body when he asked for his family. If he had hesitated, it would have been a sign of his knowledge, and Eos changed the way he was looking at her, peering deeper into her body.

At the moment, he and Nyxara wore the smaller forms of lesser immortals, which meant that Eos stood at twenty feet tall, and she was around fifteen feet in height. Without them deliberately shrinking their bodies, this was their smallest state naturally.

Their bodies were humanoid, but that was only what they wished to show to the world. An Old One would go insane just looking at them, not because they had any eldritch features, but they would notice that just one strand of Nyxara’s hair was longer than what they would consider to be infinity.

Eos began to look at Nyxara in a different manner, tearing through her shield until he saw the countless realms on her skin and the countless more swimming inside her body. In all those realms were scenes of horror and slaughter as her abominable creations butchered countless lives on a scale unimaginable to most immortals.
