Chapter: 394
“That damn tapping noise.” Jay headed back to the dark room, he was as annoyed at the sound as he was curious.
He had to shield his eyes as he pulled out his luminous orb, his head and eyes were still not quite right.
For a moment he stood there quietly as his ears adjusted once more, he listened attentively.
*tap tap Tap*
“Over there” he turned his head and walked towards it.
Slowly, he came to a pile of rubble on the ground, but it wasn’t just any rubble, it was helvetian statue parts.
“Hmm..”
It seemed to form a circle and he walked close to the centre, his light slowly revealing more.
Inside the centre were more helvetian body parts along with some various bones and other parts.
“Maybe it’s a stockpile for the creature? But what the hell was that tapping sound?”
As Jay got to the centre, there was a small depression. The pile of different creature parts was a donut shape – it was a nest.
He found the source of the sound.
A black human head looked up at him, its jaw also slack. It’s attached to its neck was a slug-like body which had two arms with long blades sticking out from where the forearm would be attached.
It seemed that it used these blades to crawl around – but not only that.
*Tap tap tap*
Slowly, it was chipping away at the dead stone soldiers in front of it, sliding tiny pieces down its throat.
“The fuck… So that’s why their jaws must be slack… they were destroyed by the black stone maybe? Perhaps it’s just decay though.”
Jay looked at its every-decaying face; even parts of the cheeks had rotted through.
“It seems like that black stone has to get into the system to make it immortal… or at least slow the decay process?” he figured, watching the little horror clink away at more of the stones and body parts around it.
“Now… what do I do with you…”
Jay wasn’t sure if he should kill it or keep it as a pet – could he even train it though? And what would it become?
***Author here. I have decided to release two free chapters every a month, around the 15th and 25th, until we get to around 40-50 free chapters total (not including the immortal book).
I still feel bad about, out of my ignorance, setting the paywall at ch.17, so this will be my way of making things right. Thanks for taking a chance with my book :)***
