The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1041

Chapter 1041: Vanishing Acts

The Shiik buried itself in the earth and Rowan agitated the energy of Ascension inside his cells, the blue Aura that dwelled deep in the depths of his cells surged and painted the entirety of his internal organs blue and his body launched into the skies like a spirit being, and he appeared fifty thousand feet in the air nearly instantaneously.

Still naked, but his long and thick red hair now merely reaching his knees moved around him like a shroud, concealing his figure as Rowan hung in the sky, and waited, even as he analyzed the warships getting closer to the continent.

Since this facility was close to the ocean, and the prevalence of the green smoke surrounding it, there was no way the incoming ships did not know this was the area of interest. The continent was large after all and the explosion had happened a while back, Rowan needed to ensure a swift and efficient hunt.

There were twenty-three warships in total heading towards him, a majority of them were like the Falcon Class Frigate that had just been destroyed, but two of the ships that stayed a little behind the fleet were massive, more than five times the size of the normal frigate and held an emblazoned silver ax on their hull, but they all still generally maintained the triangular shapes that Doom Star warships preferred.

Rowan now understood that these shapes were not a coincidence, Trithon, the essential components by which every ship was built had a propensity of taking a triangular shape when more than a few molecules of itself were placed side by side, and the entirety of the ship were mostly made from this metal. It was what made the ships both durable and easy to repair as Trithon could eat other materials to make copies of itself, not counting the fact that it consumed so little energy to operate as a functional airship.

From the signs on the two massive ships, the Silver Alliance were here, or at least part of their forces, Rowan had expected other players to reach here first before them, so either it was luck or the Alliance ran a tight ship.

Either way, it made no difference, their biggest chance to win against Rowan was when he was still a mortal, as an Enlightened Explorer, his powers had exploded to new heights, and he could utilize more of his methods to solve these conflicts.

He began moving towards the ships until he hovered over the ocean a few miles from land, and he stretched his hands to the side and closed his eyes, his fingers making tapping motions in the air as if he was playing an invisible chord.

Seemingly unaware of his presence the ships all zoomed past him, his existence could as well be invisible, and only a few Explorers who were born with unnaturally high perception could have sensed a bit of his presence, but they would have most likely not believed their senses. Rowan could feel the touch of those individuals with high perception wash over him but they could not stick, and he knew that those people were dead.

Except they were Ascendant Explorers with the power of Will, then touching the consciousness of Rowan with their own had corrupted their bodies, in any moment from now, they would wish they were dead. Sometimes, excellence was not a good thing.

The twenty-three ships that made it past him did not stay long in the air, as if a switch inside them had suddenly been shut down, they all began to crash to the earth.

The light of the three suns above cut across Rowan's hands and it was possible to see many fine tendrils that he had spread out like a web, and caught in the ends of this web were hundreds of tiny components in the ships that had just zoomed past him.

Rowan's parasitic tendrils when empowered with the Ascendant Aura turned out to be the best pairs of scalpels he would need while in this state.
