The Primordial Record novel Chapter 903

Chapter 903 A Closer Bond

Rowan did not let the shock settle in the mind of the audience as he proclaimed,

"Hear my words and know this to be the Truth. I am not a God, nor a Demon, I am not an Archmage not the Scion of a Divine, I am not an Empyrean nor a Titan, the blood you see is the red blood of a mortal, and I have a limited amount of them that I can lose before I perish. Third you are wrong, you have beaten the greatest of my creation, and this spell is the only method I can use to win this battle. So my question to you is simple, would you watch as the greatest opportunity you would ever come across pass you by because you were scared of fighting a mortal? This bridge would merely equalize the field of battle, and the bounty behind me would be the reward for the winner."

Rowan knew in his heart that he would never win a contest of words with a duplicitous entity like Third, he could only make his case impossible to be denied. The Third Prince would always find a way to wiggle out of anything, but an absolute justification. Rowan was mortal and vulnerable, if he could not fight a mortal with all his advantages, then he would lose his armies.

Even with all his advantages, Rowan knew that it would be almost impossible to perfectly destroy all the Reflections, one instance would be Erohim, even after he was killed and his Will stripped away, he was still able to survive inside a memory he had hidden, Rowan could not ignore the possibility that even if he succeeded in killing all the Reflections, that some part of them would remain, and so he created Twilight Spell to resolve this issue once and for all.

Using the impossible concept of placing two separate Time Continuum in one space, he created a power that would shatter all forms of life across time. He had drawn concepts from the Lost Flames, and Sheol, among other powers to create the inspiration for this spell. It was hard to say if he would be able to duplicate this spell ever again, he was lucky that all the right conditions were in place to make it possible.

To truly win this battle against his ancient enemies, he would have to funnel the Reflections into this bridge. The only way he would ensure that they would cooperate was to make sure that he bore an equal amount of risk. At least on the surface.

Rowan knew that his other two bloodlines were immortal, but no one here was aware of that fact, he had made sure that he did not finalize the final form of his Sheol bloodline, and anyone who had seen his other bloodline inside his dimension would not even understand what they were looking at. After all, he had never seen anyone whose bloodline was a city.

The Third Prince laughed bitterly, "Well played Rowan, well played, the entire universe is our witness, you shall stand before the might of the entire forces that we have arrayed before you as a mortal, and just as we shattered your Dominion, your mortal blood shall paint the skies red. On this bridge will your fate be decided and it would be a grim one for the ages. Believe me boy, I have had a million years of practice when it comes to torturing you."

Not waiting for a reply, the Third Prince gave a chin nod, and the vast army of the undead raced towards the Twilight Bridge, from afar they were like a dust storm, trillions of beasts of all sizes surged towards the golden bridge.

The eyes of everyone here turned red with greed and anger at the despicable move by the Third Prince, many of them on learning that Rowan was a mortal wanted nothing more than to be the first one to test the bridge. Who knows they might be lucky and be the one to collect his head.

If the Third Prince succeeded in pushing through the bridge, then he would be the one who would gain all the benefits, but no one here could challenge him, the power he had shown was enough to destroy them all, and in their hearts, some of them had begun to plan the best method to plunder the universe after the Third Prince has had his fill, it seemed inevitable that he would win, after all, their mad opponent was just a mortal.

Although he did not mention it, they all believed that Rowan's mortality should have come about due to him creating such a Taboo Spell, and his last stance was just the final flickerings of a spent flame.
