Chapter 1055 Hide Away.
"I didn't see this coming," Ragnarok said ruefully.
He is honestly afraid. His entire existence has been put on high alert ever since that attack. He knew instinctively that the danger wasn't over when he escaped. His intuition wouldn't let him relax after the skirmish with the ghoul. Now he knows just what kind of problem he has gotten himself to. He is in a situation where he knows that he is fighting for his life. The threat of the ghoul is that serious to him.
The ghoul has locked onto him and his coming straight for him. It is passing through every obstacle in the way as if they are not there. The ghoul can always find him no matter the distance and no matter which direction he runs in. It will just pivot toward his new direction and start moving closer to him.
He didn't know that the ghoul could lock onto him. If he did, he wouldn't have tested it. He was monitoring the ghouls as he escaped so he became aware of the outlier early on. He tried to lose it but nothing he did helped. The ghoul could always find him. It didn't stop for anything and just continued walking through the earth as if it were air towards him.
"I'm screwed this time."
This is a very big problem because ghouls are very difficult to kill. He knows this much. If they were easy to kill, they wouldn't have been sealed. As long as there are a large amount of ghouls, then even an Origin god isn't safe.
The best time to kill a ghoul is at the moment of its birth. But these ghouls are ancient. They are as old as the oldest Primogenitor. He can forget about killing it but he has to find a way out because the ghoul is bent on killing him.
"I hope this works or I will burdened by the ghoul forever." He said to himself.
He did the only thing that he thinks can make a ghoul lose him apart from death. He summoned Legion-1's domain and hid in it just like Soverick told him to do.
Soverick had said to him, " I just got the information you wanted. Ghouls will manage to kill everything except Origin gods. Even Vampire Primogenitors are not safe from them. Origin gods can escape the hunt of a ghoul by dying to it. The ghoul will stop chasing after an Origin god after killing it once. Even hiding in a domain can only be temporary."
This is all the information that Soverick could get out of Hadrick. An ancient being like Hadrick has never seen ghouls but has heard something about them.
The information is not encouraging but Ragnarok decided to try the temporary measure first. He is not an Origin god so death by evisceration is not the way for him to avoid the ghoul. He could also leave the plane. That will make the ghoul give up on him because their mission is bound to the plane. But that is currently not possible for him.
Hiding is the only method that he can try to escape. It has to work or this chase will continue for all of eternity or until the mission of the Ghouls has been accomplished and all the Vampires in the plane have been eliminated.
Soverick wasn't so optimistic. The battle sage monkey said with a sigh, "It will be a shame to lose you just after we got you back from the demon god. It is also your fault this time again. You were too nosy."
Ragnarok scoffed. "If I die then all of Legion will know not to mess with ghouls."
He is in no mood to engage in banter so he kept his reply short. He hid in the dark world and waited patiently. He can't see what's outside the domain and whatever is outside can't sense him either. It should keep him hidden.
If it doesn't keep him hidden, at least, the ghoul should not be able to barge into his domain. It shouldn't but he isn't sure. He is mostly ignorant of what exactly their powers are. That's what he is what led him into this predicament in the first place.
He waited for an hour before he withdrew the domain and returned to the world. The ghoul had stopped moving in his direction after he disappeared. It began roaming about to find another target. It had begun to weaken since it didn't have a target locked on anymore. It lost its ability to push aside every obstacle in its way and it became slower. So it could only return the way it came.n/)o-)V)(e-/l--b-/I)-n
It was doing that when Ragnarok returned to the world. Its red eyes glowed brighter briefly then it swived instantly in his direction. It began to tunnel itself towards him again.
"Oh come on," Ragnarok complained. "This can't continue."
He is not willing to see if he can kill the Ghoul. Soverick said that he heard that their numbers never reduce. They only increase in amount. It is not a wonder why they are like that. The law of order had to create something immortal to hunt immortal creatures.
The Ghouls are hideous, ugly, and terrifying to look at while their preferred target, the Vampires, are handsome and beautiful. But Vampires and Ghouls are both deadly abominations regardless of how beautiful or ugly they are.
"What do I do now?"
His options are limited. He can always hide in his domain. That option has made him relax a little bit but he is not content with that. His life is no longer in danger anymore, but he wants freedom.
The other option is to try and see if he could kill it which sounds like a bad idea to him. He doesn't want to be close to the ghoul at all since it can teleport to him. Also, their body is very tough. He knows that through personal experience.

A/N: It has come to my knowledge that some of you have forgotten the first appearance of the ghouls. Please refer to the creation of the first Primogenitor.
