The Primordial Record novel Chapter 921

Chapter 921 Realization And Fear

The Third Prince did not die easily. The struggle that resulted as he fought for his life was not pretty or noble, it was not a glorified thing when dealing with death, and when you added Rowan's bitterness against the Third Prince and his wish to end the great weight hanging over his neck since the time of his birth, it did not create a bearable sight for the weak of mind.

Rowan did not find back, millennia of anger and suffering were returned, all of which was channeled under a cold rage that meant every single move he made was perfect.

Reduced to a mortal by the bridge, and overwhelmed by Rowan's power and weapons, the Third Prince was slowly worn down. With a single arm and lying flat on his back, he fought with a skill that defied meaning, his arsenal of weapons was seemingly endless, but Rowan at this moment had gone insane.

It was a cold sort of insanity where he no longer cared what weapons the Third Prince could pull out from his endless vault, or the might of his Aetherium bolts, he simply batted the weapons aside, powered through the Aetherium blasts, and kept hammering down.

Ascension ensured that he would remain at his peak and slowly but surely, even with his devastated body, Rowan began to slowly gain the advantage as Ascension began to compound his powers with every moment that passed. Previously, Rowan had to use a couple of moments to tear off the weapons and divert the spells and techniques unleashed by the Third Prince, but shortly the duration he used to break the power of the Third Prince continually reduced, and soon his weapons began to tear into the flesh of the Third Prince.

Despite all this, it was a close thing keeping the Third Prince down, as he erupted with varied abilities and there was a particular trying moment where Rowan had seemingly been overwhelmed by the number of abilities the Third Prince had unleashed, pushing him back a couple of steps and it seemed that his foe was about to escape his grasp but then Rowan snapped his fingers and a bright white flame consumed the Third Prince slamming him back to the ground and allowing Rowan to press him again.

This white flame was the Lost Flames. When Lost had seemingly sacrificed himself to hold back the Third Prince, his flames had been able to touch the Third Prince, albeit briefly, although his power was shattered moments later, a dying fragment of Lost still hung around the body of the Third Prince.

Rowan had detected the Lost Flames a while back but he chose to leave it as a trump card, and he began to repeatedly play this card against the Third Prince, detonating the flames of Lost and consuming his techniques leaving him open to his attacks.

Try as he might, it was almost impossible for the Third Prince to destroy the Lost Flames that had corrupted his Aura when it was being actively fueled by Rowan's Ascension technique. This turned out to be the final stroke that broke the Third Prince. The Lost Flame had quietly dug itself into the depths of the Third Prince Aura, making it quite impossible for him to predict when there would be a flare-up.
