582 Forcibly Taking Power
Kohron, The Prince of Strife did not doubt that Rowan before him was a true Demon, not just because of his actions, but because every inch of Rowan's body was filled with an Abyssal Aura that was instantly recognizable to those who knew what to look for.
The Tower of Greed was an Abyssal Origin Treasure, far more powerful than a standard Origin Treasure which was already extremely powerful in its own right, and few gods were able to forge an Origin Treasure in their long lifetime.
With every usage of this powerful treasure by Rowan, the Aura of the Tower of Greed would settle like a shroud on the user, it was one of the many processes to bond with an Origin Treasure.
Yet there was a disturbing hitch in this process whenever Rowan was using this treasure.
The method Rowan had been using for this Treasure was strange, as his unique nature as an Ouroboros Serpent was forcing the treasure to behave the way it was not supposed to, instead of bringing Rowan's memories back in time, it was being used as a container to drag Rowan's future self back to the past.
This created a unique situation whereby it was continuously destroyed and Rebuilt, thus making it impossible for this Treasure to form a permanent bond with Rowan, but for the short term, anytime he made use of it, he was surrounded by a large burst of Abyssal Aura.
An Aura that was created anytime this treasure was destroyed.
Rowan was aware of this Aura, but it held no significance to him for the Aura would fade away when the Treasure rebuilt itself, every bit of it would be simply dragged back into the Tower.
This was the method the Treasure took to bind with a master after repeated usage, as its Aura would slowly integrate with the body of its user, but since Rowan always destroyed it after every use this never happened.
This burst of Abyssal Aura could only be detected by powerful Demons who recognized what it represented, and when Kohron saw Rowan, there was no doubt he was looking at the Prince of Destruction.
Rowan was filled with the Aura of this Abyssal Treasure, and in Kohron's mind, Ohrox must have awakened to a much greater extent than anyone else knew was even possible while inside a Material Universe, and the reason for this strange occurrence must be related to the forbidden rampage inside a Material Universe.
Of course, Kohron expected that Ohrox would be destroyed soon by the powers who were assigned to govern the universe, it surprised him that he had been able to kill this number of mortals without alerting those watchers, but for now, why should he not partake in this bounty? His true form was not here and he could deny any association with this madness.
Kohron chased the link that created his mortal form here inside the Material universe and his long tail suddenly pierced through space and returned holding the broken body of Tenma.
