The Primordial Record novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199 The First Angel

So the question Rowan needed to know was the limit to how much Vitality he could burn to be an effective asset to him, and what better way was he going to channel this strength than by opening the earth.

Rowan did not hesitate to begin this experiment no matter the danger it might pose to him, as he knew it was one of his unique abilities that separates him from anyone else, and so, he burned.

one percent…

Three percent…

Ten percent…

This was his current limit. Unlike before, when Rowan burned his Vitality to power the weapon Envy, he had only been burning the vitality in his arms alone, so when he burned twenty percent of his vitality then, he was using less than two percent of what he was burning now.

Because Rowan was burning his Vitality from his entire body!

A golden light that was almost solid began to sheath his entire arm, and Rowan began to grow. He had the presence of mind to quickly keep the hairband Diane gave him into his Spatial Bracelet which was floating in the air being held aloft by his Telekinesis, but his clothes crumbled to dust.

He became a giant, twelve feet tall, his thick blond hair resembling golden wires.

He channeled all the energy he was generating into Strength in his arms, and his total strength attributes began to rise like a rocket, it doubled, then quadrupled, and kept increasing.

Maintaining this state strained all of Rowan's two pillars of consciousness in order to keep his vitality burning at a steady pace because it wanted to escape his control and gallop ahead, ever-increasing the amounts he was feeding the unceasing flames, also he had to channel all the energy he was receiving into Strength.

It was like juggling seven sharp knives, while dodging a hail of flaming arrows, blindfolded!

But the results… were spectacular

First there was a loud crack as if from a thunderbolt and a low crashing sound that began to increase in pitch as Rowan applied more force. A hill in the distance began to tilt before crashing to the ground.

The ground began to shake as the crack on the ground began to widen. Rowan was pulling the earth apart!

He could have used easier methods to reach underground, but all he was doing was experimenting with his power, and the act of him pulling the earth apart with his bare hand seemed to satisfy a desire of his bloodline.

Pushing more force into his arms, the weapons began to scream a metallic screech as they were placed in forces beyond their structural integrity, and they began to bend, even with the Telekinesis braces he had on them.

Rowan was moving millions of tons of weight, almost as if he were pushing a mountain.

When the weapons snapped, they detonated like a bomb, a bit of metal sliced across Rowan's face but could not penetrate the force field around his body. He did not blink.

There was now enough gap for him to see thousands of feet below the ground, and he dropped into the gaping chasm he created, while reducing his size.

As Rowan fell, he opened his hands, releasing grains of Aether that created black sealing ice behind him, and when his feet reached the cavern, he had sealed the chasm he created with miles of black ice.
