The Primordial Record novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Peak Battle

"Three Mississippi…"

The moment Rowan stepped through the gate of the Divine Kingdom, Lady, and Envy appeared in both his left and right hands, he allocated forty percent of his Aether to Knowledge Well and reality slowed to a crawl, and the air became like metal.

Every move of his body made an unpleasant metallic grinding sound, and he could not even hear them yet, for sound was too slow.

However, he could "see" the sounds his body was making with that step, and he could taste reality as it broke apart beneath his tread as his Empyrean sense expanded until it stretched for miles around him.

He left red trails behind him, as the very particles in the air combusted due to the sheer friction he was generating because he was moving through them so fast.

With his second step, he activated Eruption at forty percent, and cracks began to slowly form all around his body, but in this new state of reality that had slowed to a crawl in his perception, the cracks would take forever to form, but the pain he was experiencing was astonishing.

It was like placing a burning match stick into your eyes, and leaving them there to slowly roast it, multiply that pain by a thousand times and then stretch it out as if it would go on forever. This pain only made the light of determination burn brighter in his eyes.

He spoke, "looking for me?" and he watched with rapt fascination as his words followed behind him, moving faster than sound because they were backed by his Empyrean might yet still slower than his body was moving.

With his third step, he activated Astrolabe and vanished with a bright flash of white light, leaving his words behind to furiously pursue him.

This was not the first time Rowan had been using the Astrolabe to move around, but due to the ridiculous speed it had, he had only used it to cross the void of space and at that time it had been instantaneous.

Now he would be doing something similar, but this time he would be using it as a method of attack. Rowan was familiar with using the Dash technique from his Berserker Aspects, which made him move so fast that in a short range it appeared similar to teleportation.

But against someone like Fury, that would not work, because no matter how fast Berserker moved him, the path was usually linear, and it left traces that a man with an impressive Spirit like Fury would be able to see as bright as a burning flame.

Astrolabe left no fluctuations or any signs of its passage through space, and Rowan had been able to penetrate the ground and mountains with it and transport items and people without leaving any traces behind.

He saw the eyes of Fury widen in surprise as the countless Spirit beings he made to resemble his clothes detected Rowan beside him, his words reached Fury's ears just before Rowan buried Envy in his chest, driving him from the air to slam into the ground.
