The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1473

Chapter 1473 Mortal Vs Immortal

Looking back with the advantage of foresight and a rather powerful Memory, it almost seemed crazy that Rowan had not seen the connection that had been staring at him in the face right from the start.

The invisible blade driven through his skull belonged to the Dark One, and it could only be wielded by him, every time Rowan had ever tried to touch it, his hands simply went through the blade as if it was nonexistent, and so with everything he had to deal with, Rowan placed this issue out of his mind, but something had changed when he personally attacked the Dark One when they were inside the ball of flesh.

He remembered falling on the shoulders of the Earth god and driving Firen's blade through his spine, with everything going on at that moment, he had failed to realize that the weight of the blade on his forehead had subtly increased.

It was a slight difference, but one that his mortal mind had missed, Rowan had now caught it with the enhancement of the power of Memory given to him by the souls behind him.

This blade would become solid when he was close to the Dark One, and that meant he had a weapon he could use to kill this abomination that was a single step away from godhood.

Mortals had always been weak, they had no claws, fangs, or enhanced physiology to battle against serious threats, but they had access to weapons, and Rowan could not kill a supernatural being without a weapon capable enough to do so.

The last bolt fired from the bow of the Archer had not just destroyed the ball of flesh and nearly freed the Dark One from his Tribulation, it had also greatly damaged the Earth god, and although it still stood strong, there was no flesh left on his body, everything had been burned away under that cleansing flame.

Standing before Rowan was a fifteen-foot skeleton that was aflame with reddish fire, the right arm was gone, and the left had only two fingers left, there was a large gaping hole in his chest, alongside several ribs that had disappeared, and what was left of the bones of the torso were all broken with several missing pieces.

Rowan saw the ball of skulls surrounding the head of the Dark One expand, on the verge of exploding under the strain of containing the voice of the Dark One, but Rowan had not stopped sending more skulls into the ball to strengthen it, and in the fraction of the moment he used to cross the distance between him and the Dark One, he already had millions of skulls covering his head, but he did not expect them to last, the skulls were powerful, but Rowan lacked the necessary Will, Aether or Essence to properly channel their might, and he was barely using them as immortal fodder, however, it did not matter, he only needed them to buy him time, and he was now close to the Earth god as his hypothesis was confirmed.

He felt his head dip a little and without the thousand aches of an injured mortal body distracting his mind, he could feel pain ripple across his head as the blade of the Dark One solidified in his skull.

Rowan did not try to think about it, only supercharged his skull with as much healing powers as he could draw from the Memories, and with a single smooth motion, he pulled the blade out of his skull.

His vision went blank for a moment as a strong taste of citrus flooded his mouth, his muscles nearly collapsed but he was propped up by the Memories behind him and soon enough the wound through his skull healed and Rowan's body steadied a few feet away from the Dark One, and with the same motion that he used to draw out the sword from his head, he continued with that slash, the blade cutting through both knees of the Dark One.
