The Primordial Record

Chapter 108 Nascent Titan (2)

The General gritted his teeth and a bloody light bloomed around him, which coalesced into a vortex in his chest that resembled a bleeding open wound, and from this vortex, two twenty foot spearheads began to appear.

The General cried out and made a throwing gesture with his hand, and the two spears vanished in a flash of red light, and pinned the two Ouroboros Serpent to the roof by their heads, silencing their roars.

Rowan had to admit that his fighting experience was still too low and just because the General's power levels may be similar to his own on paper, but their application of said powers was the difference between night and day.

It was easy to forget that Rowan was at the Legendary State while the General was at the peak of Incarnation State.

The two Ouroboros Serpents, however, were not dead, and as they trashed around, the massive spears began to crack.

The General roared in anger and the red vortex in his chest expanded, and multiple gigantic spears flew from that open wound and began pinning the bodies of the Serpents.

Rowan noticed he made sure not to kill them, but only pinned them to the walls, which was a brilliant move using the information he had available to him. The General might look like the classic Berserker, but he fought with a great eye for strategy.

After shooting more than fifty giant spears in total, the General collapsed on his knees, breathing hard. The bloody light around his body had dimmed, and he began eating multiple red crystals to replenish his bloodline essence.

Augustus' mind was in chaos, although it appeared as if he was dominating the fight, only he knew how difficult it was for him the entire time.

Upon his first strike, he realized at the last moment that the bloodline essence he used on each of his swords would not even pierce through Rowan's skin and in that single moment he sacrificed a thousand swords each to merge into a single sword, and with that, he was able to pierce his body.

Before this battle, he had created more than a million swords, spikes and spears, but in less than three seconds he had nearly run out of weapons.

To Pierce through the Dragons, he had to be even more excessive, as he had to sacrifice ten thousand spears just to fashion a spear big and strong enough to pierce through their bodies.

To power his weapons, it required massive blood essence, and he had to push an entire storehouse of Aether in his every blow, for the physique of Rowan was too perverted.

He was not a normal Incarnation State Dominator, and he was at the peak, he could fight on equal ground with ten other Incarnation State Dominator using his abundant experience and the power of his bloodline, but against Rowan, who was only a Legendary State being, he had exhausted all his Aether in three seconds!

General Augustus almost felt like he was stabbing through a mountain of Divine Metal and not flesh and blood, and the opposing force of every stab he made was damaging his body.

Rowan's eyes all through this short confrontation were not the wary gaze of a combatant, but the patient eye of a predator who was watching his prey exhaust all its energy. There was no fear in those eyes, only cold calculation and amusement. 𝚋ｅｄｎ𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃｏ𝚖

The remnants of Augustus' soul started to shiver. What bloodline did this bastard unlock, there was no record of such a bloodline in the Kuranes family archives and in all the surrounding worlds he knew, there was nothing like this.

Rowan began to laugh.

The Ouroboros Serpents suddenly stopped suppressing their growth and their bodies expanded to more than six hundred feet, which made the twenty-foot spears stabbing them resemble toothpicks.

They could not grow any bigger because they had filled up the entire passageway, leaving only a small room for Rowan and the General.

In the front of the General were the two gigantic heads of the Ouroboros Serpents, their cold gazes assessed him, and the glow from their eyes filled up the small space, behind him was the Mithril gates.

The broken body of Rowan stood up, and he was enveloped in red flames, he gave the flame his?essence, and it flared bright, the General squinting his eyes against the sudden flare of light.

All the blades sticking through his body melted into bloody water, and as if the clock were reversing back in time, his body seamlessly healed himself, and he was at his peak again.

Rowan looked at his battered armor in irritation. He would take time to experiment with his essence to create clothes and armor, he could not go through life fighting all his battles, butt naked!

He cracked his neck and raised the Axe to the General. "Ready for round two? I will no longer hold back."

The General snarled, and his black armor began detaching itself from his arm and formed twin black pole arms, he twirled them, and crouched a little, readying himself.

Rowan began pouring Essence into the Axe, and at the same time he released the Flesh Light, allowing it to cover the Head of the Axe, he diverted the stream of vitality into two, feeding both the Axe and the flames.

Rowan shuddered and released the second flame he had, Bone Fire.

The green flame raced down his arm and covered the Axe head, the two flames mixed and both of them repelled each other; they settled on each side of the Axe Head.

One side of Envy burned with the red flames of Flesh Light, while the other burned with the Green flames of Bone Fire.

The face of General Augustus went solemn, and he called up all the Aether he had just regenerated and his body glowing with red light, he charged at Rowan using Dash.

He had underestimated this bastard a little too much, and he was going to burn the roots of his bloodline once more and cut him into pieces. "I am going to crush your flesh and drink your blood until the last drop!"

Rowan's reply was to release the vibrational waves that had been building inside Envy. He had poured his unlimited reserves of Vitality into the weapon, and Envy was screaming in his hands. He used no technique or any fancy moves, Rowan just swung his weapon.

There was a sound like cloth ripping and a visible vibrational wave erupted from Envy, the wave was many times faster than sound and swept through Augustus body and his charge was stopped as his entire body was lifted as if he were blasted by a giant hammer.

His body slammed into the Mithril gate behind him with a sound like ringing bells, and his armor and weapons all cracked and were blasted to pieces, his face, and arm that were not protected were shredded until the bone; he was left with a gleaming red skull and remnants of a pair of skeletal arms devoid of any hint of flesh.

The rest of his body that was protected by his armor was marginally protected as his skin was shredded off, but the single attack was not over.

Augustus had barely had the time to scream when the second wave of force that erupted from that single blow, which was a wave of green fire that filled the entire room and rolled towards the General like a tide of green flame.

They swept past him, and he was reduced to smoking bones and the red flames followed and swept by, the air ripped and groaned, and the entire room was melted by more than six feet in depth, leaving the Mithril gate.

After the light subsided, what was left of General Augustus was a shriveled skull and part of his spine that had been pinned against the gate. His remnants fell on the floor and acrid smoke flowed from it. A gleaming silver bangle rolled across the floor towards Rowan.

Rowan paused and examined Envy with mute shock.
