The Primordial Record novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Breaking The Curse (3)

Would his decimation of these offshoots trigger retaliation or more attacks from the horde? Maybe, but as long as the convoy kept moving, and he continued getting stronger, he saw no reason not to whittle out the herd.

He even managed to get his hands on one of those monster bikes, their top speeds were nothing to scoff at, and although slower than his all out sprint, they would serve just fine.

With the wind blowing his hair behind him, he set out for the first of the offshoots, and placed the pedal to the metal and did not ease up until he saw the dust ahead and his Spatial sight revealed the presence of five Incarnation State beasts and a single golden creature.

Rowan parked the monster bike a few miles from the horde. They resembled giant apes with the golden beast leading them having two heads, as he reached the horde on foot he brought out two long spears, and pumping Aether into his Dash skills, he was within their midst before they were aware and the slaughter began.

He was here to hunt as quickly as possible, and he did not hold back on his Aether, although he did not use his flames because they gave out too much sound and light. His Berserker Skills were more than enough for the job.

Twenty minutes later, he was done, he had 900 Soul points and 4,000,000 energy points by devouring the golden two-headed ape and he proceeded to the next.

The only concern he had was that during the battle, the golden ape almost seemed like it wanted to communicate with him. Rowan began to feel the beginning of a headache. Exterminating these creatures would be multiple fold more difficult and complicated if intelligence came into play.

There was nothing benign about these creatures, and they were not born from goodwill, but from madness, and only the privilege of his flesh gave them a sustained form in the universe.

Intelligence would not breed understanding among them, only an increasing depravity. If they killed before on instinct, now they might begin to enjoy it.

Rowan's desire to kill began to ramp up, it was also fueled knowing such Abominations cane from his flesh.

He rapidly made his way to the other offshoots. These were made up of giant spiders, and he was surprised to see three golden spiders with heads resembling that of a cow. It was an eerie combination, and they were troublesome creatures to put down because of their agility.

Rowan had to resort to throwing his spears, and thankfully he had more than enough, each of them were only slowed when he had peppered their bodies with dozens of spears, and he finally took them down. This battle took much time because of this, but he was done in an hour.

He came out with 1,300 Soul points and 15,000,000 energy points, and he checked the maps he collected and beelined for the next.

There were a dozen offshoots of the horde a few hundred miles around the convoy, and his goal was to eradicate them all, and in the next seven hours he did just that.

His face held a grim light, when he noticed more signs of intelligence among the golden beasts.

He traveled from one to another and crushed them all, he may be wrong about the number of beasts he had killed in those seven hours of mindless savagery, but a safe bet would be between 90,000 to 130,000 beasts of all shapes and types fell to him.

The benefits from the battles were apparent as he raked in 7,500 Soul points plus 32,000,000 energy points. He finally had everything he needed to break the curse.

His next goal now was to find a safe place to do just that and evolve his bloodline as he readied himself to break through to the Rift State.
