The Primordial Record - Chapter 1364

Chapter 1364 Spells

Rowan continued stabbing and slashing at the regenerating body of Thenos mechanically, inside the Wooden Fortress, the corrupted titan's essence could not escape and if Thenos did not take a corporeal form, his stores of energy would be consumed faster than normal, because this fortress also drained energy from Thenos and only in his corporeal form could he fight against this drain to a certain extent.

There were many complicated moves Rowan could have used that would damage Thenos far more quickly, but in this situation, simple attacks were the best strategy to use, and if he knew Thenos, then he was most likely hiding the greatest of his weapons until he was desperate. If Thenos had been against any other individual, then holding back would be his best shot, because simply powering a fortress that could hold an eighth-dimensional entity for long like Thenos was extremely expensive, and few immortals would have the energy capacity to do such a thing. Yet he was against Rowan, and every moment Thenos was holding back was bringing him closer to his grave.

Rowan could afford to wait and slowly drain Thenos of all his energy even if he was spending a hundred times more energy than Thenos with every moment that passes. His dimensional soul had as much energy capacity as his dimensional flesh, and Rowan was not scared of running out any time soon.

Using simple moves with his weapons was the best way to get Thenos to that point of desperation when he unleashed all his potential without revealing too much of his hand.

Rowan was actively monitoring the energy expenditure of Thenos, by now the corrupted titan should have burned through all the energy he had collected from Berrion, and then some. The problem was that Rowan had no way of ascertaining how much energy Nemesis contained but it should not exceed those of Berrion by much.

He was using Bleeding Edge for the slashing attacks and the Destroyer for the piercing attacks, and his body was moving almost automatically at this point, while he focused on other tasks, even now he was monitoring the events of his dimensional flesh and he frowned a bit at the risk he was taking and the unexpected changes ongoing in his dimension, as they triggered memories that he did not expect to still have any relevance to him at this point.

Destroying Thenos one more time with a sweeping attack with Bleeding Edge that turned every piece of his flesh to ash using green undying flames seemed to have been the point where this titan could no longer endure the loss of energy as this space suddenly quaked, and Rowan's heart shook when with a loud groan the Wooden Fortress was stressed to its limits and if not for the rapid infusion of energy by him and Eva in addition to the massive preparation they made to make this prison nearly impregnable, Thenos would have torn out of it. @@novelbin@@

Rowan's eyes shone with a predatory light, "So you have reached your fucking limits... took you long enough."

However, there was one specific clue that Rowan did not miss on the first encounter with this titan. When Thenos's Memories left the Great Desert, he had brushed past Nemesis and acquired his energy, and at that time the titan was nothing but a Memory. He had no flesh and blood and had not inhabited his corporeal body.

This detail was extremely important because it showed that the talent of Thenos was not tied to his flesh alone, but also to his Memories, and if that were to be the case, how much power would Thenos have stolen from the one place in all of reality that housed some of the most powerful and dangerous higher dimensional immortals in all of reality?

This notion was extremely frightening to consider, plus Thenos was smart enough to keep his powers under wraps, but if there was one party that was responsible for making Rowan more cautious about this titan was the World Stele itself who despite knowing of a portion of Rowan's ability, still believed that Thenos still had more potential than him, and the only reason the Singularity would stand by this idea was that it knew that over the many eons inside the Great Desert, Thenos must have gathered a ridiculous amount of abilities.

There was only one single issue that was holding back Thenos and that was energy. Inside the Great Desert he had access to bloodlines and abilities, but what he did not have access to was Aether and Essence to fuel these stolen gifts.

His talents no matter how ridiculous had to follow certain guidelines and one of the bases for that was the fuel to power his multiple bloodlines and abilities he had stolen. One of the reasons the World Stele had been so insistent on collecting Rowan's abilities was because of his ridiculous energy stores.

Rowan's Aether and Essence were so ridiculously massive that no immortal in existence could match. He was a living dimension after all, and that meant he had more energy than he would ever need. This was one of the reasons he could fight far past his level since he could power up his simplest abilities with nearly infinite energy.

The combination of Rowan's energy stores and Thenos's talent would shake all of existence.

"Boom!"

Thenos slammed into Rowan but was stopped by a glowing shield that appeared in front of him. Rowan smiled and the weapons he was holding vanished, they were sent to his dimensional flesh, because he did not need them.

As a dimensional soul, Rowan preferred battling with spells.

Behind him, reality exploded with multicolored lights as Rowan called upon the powers of creation and destruction.
