The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1035

Chapter 1035 Ambush

Rowan might have lacked the blue Aura of Ascendancy but what he did not lack was vitality and therefore essence. All the bodies of the fallen and the smaller Shiiks consumed by the mutated Shiik had granted him so much vitality that if he wanted he could have made this mortal body at least fifty feet tall.

However, that would be a limited use of this amount of power, he already had a meat shield and another one was useless, he would rather be the tactician in the next series of incoming conflicts.

Rowan was a mortal but he was hardly helpless. The Shiik might be powerful and was his primary weapon, but he was far more deadly because of his mind.

The ship that attacked a wrong position was not a coincidence, Rowan made his presence nearly impossible to detect, and when the Shiik folded its body, any sign of life was gone.

The Shiiks were originally weak Calamity creatures but their ability to eat death gave them certain unique properties, and any sign of life they had was nearly undetectable if they were not in motion, and in the shadow of the green smoke, it appeared like a building. To deceive this first batch of enemies, what Rowan did was that he had created hundreds of bodies and given them all the characteristics of life, leaving them clustered in certain positions, and this was all to be a diversion. He was used to performing many tasks at once as a Hive mind and when he had been spending hours deciphering the secrets of the prism of teleportation, the other part of his mind had been creating this diversion, and other parts had been focused on other tasks necessary for the battle ahead.

Another explosion rang out as the ship targeted the second cluster of life he had placed in another random area. The smoke that had been shattered by the presence of the ship began to cover the open spaces once again, and as it did, the massive shape of the Shiik hidden within followed closely, hunting the ship overhead.

Rowan recognized this ship from the memories of the Explorers. The natives of Doom Star had developed their warships and transportation capabilities to a rather high level, and they could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the best warships Rowan had ever come across in Reality outside this realm.

The prevalence of the strange nature of Aura in this realm had given birth to special treasures and resources that could be used to create powerful weapons and vehicles.

This warship was a Falcon Class Frigate, capable of holding between ten to a hundred crew members. The ship was triangular in shape and sleek like the blade of a spear. Although it was a pretty common ship, its functionality was still among the best, and its features had barely changed since it was introduced nearly half a million years ago.

Usually, the sort of Explorers who used these ships were not very powerful, the highest reaching the Legendary Rank, who would typically be the captain of the frigate. To traverse the nearly infinite number of continents in this realm, this ship was the least that could be utilized.

Rowan had left seven distractions around, and from the emanations of power they gave out, the most powerful was at the Heroic Rank, and for the ship to stay above and blast Heroic Ranked powers meant it found them somewhat of a threat, or they might be holding back assessing for traps, but whatever reason they had, Rowan had already given the order for the Shiik to attack.
