Chapter 146 Perilous Journey (2)
The Horde of Rodents, seeing him going still, suddenly let out shrill screams filled with rage, and they rushed towards him, leading their charge were the four Incarnation State rodents, which were as large as cows and were all white in color.
Breathe out…
Flames began running down the length of the chain, from his right hand, were the red flames of Flesh Light and from his left hand were the green flames of Bone Fire.
Breathe in…
He brought his hands up to his chest, and he opened his eyes.
Breathe out…
He screamed a war cry that seemed to be buried inside his bones, and swung the chains in a circle around him, the motion created a spectacular scene of red and green flame that rotated to create a Yin–Yang picture as the flames turned the hundreds of Rodents around him into shattered morsels and bloody fog.
It also caught the faces and bodies of the charging Incarnation State Rodents and flung them backward, leaving terrible wounds on their bodies, their high-pitched squeaking was irritating.
Trails of flames were left in the air that continuously killed hundreds of Rodents that rushed towards him before it began to fade.
Rowan swung the chain once more in the same pattern, multiplying the effects of the flames, and it began to spread, and the squeaking from the dying Rodents turned shrill as hundreds of them were dying by the second.
Rowan's eyes focused on one of the Incarnation State rodents, and he activated Dash, pushing all of his channeled Aether into this Skill and zoomed across the battlefield like a specter.
With his increasing attributes from upgrading his bloodline, the passive shielding his body created due to his unique Constitution began to activate once more, he had previously lost it when he had the curse but with the rage growing in his blood, it was slowly returning along with more of his strengths.
Rowan barreled through hundreds of Rodents, and he was an unstoppable juggernaut, but an invisible barrier over his body kept him free of any bloody bits and pieces from any beast that his body touched. He reached his target without a single stain in his body.
Rowan noticed that the Dash skill was now more easier to control, and its effects were presently far finer, with his control over the skill now easier than it ever was before, the skill had not yet ended when Rowan activated another Berserker Skill—Vortex.
He was directly in front of the Incarnation State Rodent, and he could clearly observe all the details of its body. It was a terrifying ball of white fur and unflinching lethality, and its whip-like tail was pink and waving in the air.
Even with its size, Rowan thought it was cute.
The effects of the Berserker Skill—Vortex sank into his body, and he transformed into a tornado of flaming chains, and he nearly screamed with his rising bloodlust as the chains shredded the creature to bite size chunks in seconds, and created a flaming tornado that erupted around him, tearing apart the ground and generating a massive shock wave that rippled across the battlefield that tore apart hundreds of Rodents.
A massive amount of flaming earth that had been turned to lava erupted from his location, and a wall of flame rippled from his location.
Rowan looked around, everything around his area had been turned to flames and blood.
The importance of Ability Runes could not be overemphasized, with all the power inside his body lacking a proper channel, it was these Abilities that could bridge the gap.
He was a fountain of boundless energy, and the Ability Runes were the only way to properly channel those energies. Else, he would be throwing fists and kicks in battle without causing a fraction of the damage he could see here.
His Empyrean skills were too vast in scope and could not help him be of any assistance to him currently.
Using his Dash skills, and he streaked across the battlefield towards two of the Incarnation State creatures that were fairly close together, and as he got closer to them, he kicked the ground and flew into the air, the chains trailing behind him, and he appeared as if he had twin flaming tails of red and green.
They both howled at him, and he replied by activating the Berserker skill—Smash, repeatedly.
The flames on the chain were dyed with red and slammed into the two creatures like the wrath from a god. It was an extremely gruesome exchange that followed, with every Smash that Rowan made tearing deep into the flesh of the Rodents and each swing made a deep droning sound like the collapse of a building. Massive chunks of flesh and limbs were torn from them, and in four seconds he had taken them apart.
Even though the flames acted better on flesh and blood, the heat it gave off was nothing to scoff at, and Rowan noticed that the chains in his hands were regrettably becoming soft, and there was no other chain like this inside the Spatial bracelet.
Rowan heard the rumbling of thunder on the horizon, and Circe appeared above him with a flash of lightning. Rowan noticed that she had two methods of flying, using wind or lightning.
With wind, she appeared to have more control, and with lightning it was just pure speed.
He saw her eyes widen in surprise as she saw the Carnage below, Rowan could not really bother with her thoughts as he was mourning the loss of the chain.
Circe kept her composure after a while, she had been gone for less than a minute and this man had already slaughtered close to half the horde and killed three Incarnation State creatures!
She had seen the last of the action as she reached the battlefield and noticed that although his abilities were fairly powerful, the true drive behind his might was his Aether.
She began to doubt if he was even at the Second Great Circle and not higher because every release of his Aether caused her heart to palpitate painfully inside her chest, as if her Spirit was urging her to flee.
Circe shook her head and focused on the remaining horde below. Likewise, she knew other extremely powerful Dominators, and this was not enough to really amaze her.
They needed to move, and she called at him below. "I will cull the rest, finish off the last Beast Leader and we can go. The town is already moving!"
Rowan shrugged and kept the chains, frankly the battle with these Incarnation State creatures had disappointed him, they all felt so squishy beneath his hands, and he could now really appreciate the effect of his Constitution.
Although he was currently stronger than when he fought the wolf. Its Constitution was extremely strong and its recovery ability left these creatures in the dust, even if their Attributes turned out to be the same, the difference in their physique had multiplied the powers of the wolf.
Time to stop holding back. With the current physical Essence, he could release joined with his Aether, he was curious about what he could unleash, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to just release twenty percent of his current full capabilities.
Rowan faced the last Incarnation State beast, and he straightened his hands and opened both palms wide, he activated the Ability Rune for Bone Fire and released more than fifty grains of snow-white Aether, and a green flame was born in the center of his palms.
The flames collided together and created a larger ball of flame bigger than his entire body, the ground around him for hundreds of feet dried up and all the surrounding Rodents spontaneously combusted and exploded into pieces.
Rowan, with a yell, let loose, and a pillar of green flame lanced from his hands, straight through every obstruction in their path and obliterated the Incarnation State Rodent.
Rowan split his palms apart and the pillar of flame separated into two, and he began moving around in a circle as he activated Vortex.
The world shook, and a massive sound like the earth splitting apart resounded.
