The Primordial Record - #522 - 522 Pillars of Ice and Blood

Rowan thought for a short while about the question this entity asked him before replying, “As far as I can tell, there is no one else like me in all of creation.”

The Narghal Tyrant smiled a toothy grin revealing its black and sharp fangs, “In my Era, for me to become the only Narghal Tyrant in existence I butchered all of my kin until there was none left. My Berserker Technique was born from that day of unrelenting slaughter.”

He looked to the heavens above and the ocean of blood beneath his feet, filled to the brim with bodies, his eyes became filled with mania, and his voice grew increasingly louder as he continued speaking,

“Oh… how they screamed! It is impossible for anyone else not present there to imagine the vibrancy of it… the intensity! When an entire race is put before the sword, then the true face of reality reveals itself. The universe herself wept and her tears of blood laid the foundation of this power you choose to take from me. It is good that there is only one like you in all creation, perhaps you shall be worthy of inheriting my power, although I sincerely doubt your capability.”

“Why would you slaughter all your kin to become the only one left standing? Was it just for this measly power of a Berserker?”

The Narghal Tyrant laughed deeply, and it sounded like the beating of a large War Drum, “The answer to that question is incredibly simple, yet hard for most to understand. Kill me and you shall find out or you will not, it all depends on the individual. Although I wonder how much power you can hold in that Mortal frame to challenge me, even though you have survived the previous test with flying colors.”

Rowan’s body flared up with the golden flame of Eruption for a second, and the heavens lit up with a golden color that could be seen for countless miles,

“Oh…” the Narghal Tyrant said in shock, “You are indeed special, haha… my awakening was not a mistake, I shall enjoy this battle.”

He slammed his four weapons together and appeared before Rowan, seemingly crossing empty space faster than even time itself could register his movements, and the only reason Rowan could block the blow with Envy was because his instinct forged from battle and his Knowledge Well gave him the slight edge he needed.

It was still a little short, as the sword in the third arm of the Narghal Tyrant slipped past his defense and disemboweled him, not stopping its movement as the same stroke from the blade nearly took off his head, as it nearly divided Rowan in two.

Rowan’s retaliation was instantaneous, burning Eruption, Envy came with a sweeping blow that sliced its way downward shattering all the four weapons in the hands of the Narghal Tyrant, his left hand threw a punch that was skillfully deflected by the Narghal Tyrant, who then discarded his destroyed weapon and threw a nasty combination with his four arms in a blazing manner that launched Rowan like a cannon bolt until his body slammed against the Tribulation Ring.

Rowan gasped in pain, as his body began to disintegrate into nothingness, whatever energy was in these Tribulation rings was one of the most potent powers of destruction he had ever come across.

His body was being destroyed so quickly that by the time he pushed himself away from the Tribulation Ring using Telekinesis, he had only his golden eyes left, and even that was still degrading slowly.

Space for countless miles echoed with Rowan’s scream of rage as he burned his vitality channeling all that power into his constitution, his eyes seemed to be filled with countless dancing Ouroboros Serpents and his body returned in full accompanied by a flash of golden fire.

Rowan did not have time to fully recover as the blows of the Narghal Tyrant were heading for him without any respite, his foe was leaving no quarter for him to take advantage of. He was now holding four hammers that shattered Rowan’s body into four places and launched him against the Tribulation Ring once again, even though Rowan blocked with Envy it was not enough, as the blow he received from this entity was the hardest he had ever received since he was reborn.

A single blow from this creature would kill a thousand Dao Ma with no issue, his strength was that ridiculous.

Envy had been bent into a mangled mess, but the weapon soon returned to her previous shape, while releasing a slow buzzing of intense anger.

“That sort of weapon would not work on me, it kills gods but I’m beyond a god!” the Narghal Tyrant laughed aloud.

‘Good to know,’ Rowan thought as he dismissed Envy, ignoring her protest as the weapon shrieked in anger, Rowan did not listen, for what was coming may be so destructive, that he might harm the weapon by mistake, he had not yet seen the limit of this weapon and he was curious to find it.

Like a switch being thrown, Rowan’s eyes suddenly became cold. He would not be holding back in this battle. It was time to use his true power.

Learning from his lessons Rowan wrapped himself with a shield of Telekinesis and whatever energy inside the Tribulation Ring began eating its way slowly through it, but not fast enough.

Free from the distraction of his body being destroyed, he pulled out a portion of the Tribulation Ring with brute force and watched it squirm in his hands, his golden eyes filled with curiosity and irritation.

The Narghal Tyrant paused in shock, “Impossible! How can you hold back Decay!”

“So that’s what this is. Then watch me closely for what I’m about to do next, if you blink, you might miss it.”

Rowan opened his mouth and a darkness deeper than any in the Material Universe rushed out and blasted towards the Narghal Tyrant shattering space along the way.

The Narghal Tyrant attacked the wave of darkness with his hammers, but this move was a mistake as he was frozen in place upon touching this darkness, but that was not all, for whatever Rowan released had so much energy, that a black glacier that glistened like a black diamond encased the Narghal Tyrant’s body creating a frozen pillar that was longer than a million miles and more than two miles in circumference.
