The Primordial Record novel Chapter 567

Chapter 567 The Poisoned Hidden Needle

The Creature screamed in joy as it devoured the red stream of starlight shooting out of Rowan's chest, but something was different about this power Rowan was delivering to it, the power had become infused with something else… his Berserker Clones!

It was the reason the starlight had turned red, a subtle change that could be disguised because of the preparation Rowan had made before now.

The Berserker Aspect was an ordinary technique in the larger scheme of things, but in Rowan's hand, this Aspect had reached levels beyond even its creator's imagination.

Rowan was the foremost authority in this Aspect and a large part of this change depended on his physique, for the Berserker Aspect was a power that was rooted in the flesh and not the Spirit, which was an important distinction, and the reason why Rowan was picky with the technique he wielded, his Aether was too tyrannical and it would devour anything else.

His Flesh Light and other Bone Fire abilities were destroyed after using them for a short while because they were abilities rooted to his Spirit and were too weak to exist inside him, the Berserker Aspect narrowly escaped this purge.

His Ouroboros Bloodline gave him an impossible recovery ability, it was what barely helped his Berserker aspect to be able to survive inside his Mental Space, only because his recovery ability was shared by his Berserker Aspect.

Rowan's ability to create Berserker Clones that were special was all due to his physique that could transform Ordinary into Treasure.

The Berserker Clone took the foundations from the original body and created a lesser copy of it. Rowan's bodily foundation could put those of the gods to shame and a pale copy of himself was a force to be reckoned with.

it was the reason why a single one of Rowan's Berserker Clones would be ten thousand times more powerful than the Berserker Clones from a Dominator or a Mage.

During Rowan's creation of the Nosferatu technique for Vraegar, he became really versatile in the creation of his Berserker Clones, able to infuse a thousand clones in a single drop of blood at the start and before he left, he had increased that number to a hundred thousand Berserker Clones in a single blood drop.

What sort of Berserker Clone could he create with his current body whose Attributes were now in a Realm of power that it had stopped making sense to him?

Rowan had a thought very early on when he decided to bargain with this creature.

If he was going to be giving this creature this power, why did he not fish for more benefits, and infuse this power with his Aspect?

From the start, the creature referred to Rowan's power as his Shell, but Rowan always called it Essence. This was because he had already begun hatching this plan, and his language shielded his intentions.

Rowan would be giving it his Essence, he did not just specify what he would include inside of it. If the creature had any methods to detect falsehood, his words would not trigger any alarm from it.

He had begun to understand the wordplay between the powerful and knew that there were always hidden intentions behind the words of all of them, and the winner was the one who could play the game more deeply.
