The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1160

Chapter 1160: Revealing Madness

Thousands of weapons rose against a single man, but he pushed on without a single step back.

The adaptability and battle awareness of the general was insane, his hate and panic stripping him of any hesitation in his actions. Despite being set upon by an entire army of some of the best-trained men and women in the kingdom, he still managed to preserve his mobility and kept his fighting arm, his left hand had been long reduced to a bloody stump that stopped above his elbow after being used as a shield to block many blows.

Tens of weapons were sticking out from his body, turning him into a pincushion, but it seemed that none had hit vital organs, or if they did, the damage was not enough to instantly kill him when his entire being was primed towards killing the prince. He had virtually lost eighty percent of his skin, and he was just a screaming piece of meat and broken bones that refused to go down.

"Brothers... sisters... let me through, I need to stop this monster from killing us all. You can do whatever you want to me after."

Elves was a few hundred feet from Shisu when a particularly brutal Axe blow descended from above towards his skull that would have split his head in two, and he raised his left hand to block, forgetting for a moment that there was nothing there anymore but a six-inch stump, and realizing his error tried to move to the side while arching his back, and although he dodged a mortal blow, the Axe bit into his left shoulder, cutting deep into his sternum, and his body unconsciously vibrated as its blade chipped his spine.

If the wielder had used more force he would have been directly bisected in two.

Such a devastating injury should have thrown his forward momentum into disarray, but his Natal Treasure was geared towards movement so he was still able to maintain his push forward, but that slight mistake had become his undoing because the Axe lodged in his body possessed powerful weight-changing enchantments and coupled with his devastating injuries, he slowed down and he was brutally hacked into pieces.

The head of Elves exploded from his shattered body due to the extreme violence done against him by the furious guards, and it slowly rolled towards the king, stopping a few inches from his feet.

The crazed eyes of the soldier were still fully aware and his yellow eyes rolled around in his skull before zooming towards Shisu with intense hate, and thrusting out his bloody tongue, he began to use it as a means to push his head towards the prince. Such a horrifying sight froze everyone in their place except for Shisu who was grinning so widely that the side of his lips began to tear open and bleed, it appeared it took everything from him not to fall to the ground and laugh.

"Fascinating," Shisu muttered to himself, "So, this is the power of Hate."

A meer foot away from Shisu, the life force in the head finally disappeared, but the grimace of hatred, protruding tongue and yellow eyes of the general was so hate-filled that the queen and several other maidens fainted, even the king went pale at this sight, and he shook in disgust and shock as Shisu went forward, picked up the head and brought it to his mouth, covering the bloody lips with his own, Shisu began to make chewing motions.

Shisu forgot himself in his pleasure, the world became nothing but the Hate he was consuming, and when he brought his bloody face up for air, he ignored everyone around him, they were meaningless maggots, only searching for the look in the eyes of his father, and smiled when he found it. It was the realization that everything he had ever suspected about his child was the truth. Shisu was a monster that made calamities seem like harmless children.
