Chapter 62 I Am Legend (7)
One of the kneeling Primordial Empyrean trembled as the blood drop shot past it. It was in the shape of a sphere, but the sphere was made up of massive coils of countless serpents and dragons, atop the sphere was a sleeping female, and everything below her waist was what made up the coils of reptiles and dragons.
Her hair was made up of countless serpents, and if we put the size of this Ancient Primordial Empyrean into perspective, each strand of her hair should be larger than an entire belt of solar systems.
She began to awaken, but in the time span that such an Ancient Empyrean operates it would be in another seventeen million years before her eyes would open, and for an Ancient Empyrean, that was a blink of an eye.
That blood drop passed through the entire Bloodline Origin and the golden ocean froze, the three hovering Bloodline Rune that stood before Rowans Aura were destroyed; it would take countless years for them to be reformed.
The black blood drop silently merged with that Aura and Rowan's path to the Legendary State was unlocked as the Soul points flooded into his bloodline, but all the Soul points were diverted into that black drop of blood, which began transforming.
The blood drop seemed to be shifting through countless possibilities to find the best manner to fuse with Rowan. The transformation stopped when it became three runes that resembled obsidian, that was shaped like a blade. It pierced through his heart, and they rapidly began turning black.
The black hearts released thin lines of black metallic tendrils that carved a path through Rowan's chest, and slowly a fourth heart was being created.
The snakes around his hearts became agitated, and giving out long hisses they began to attack his first three hearts, and horrifyingly began consuming it.
Rowan's heart presently was tougher than diamonds, but the snakes sliced through it like a hot knife through butter and each bite made Rowan's body twitch, they secreted venom that halted the regeneration of his heart and when his heart was devoured halfway, his soul awoke.
But his mind was blurry, he was still fragile and the transformation of his soul was just beginning, he helplessly watched his hearts being entirely consumed by the snakes, and after they finished consuming it, they began giving out silent wails of pain.
"Well, good for you." Rowan thought inside, "You ate my heart. Clearly it does not agree with you."
The disturbance they gave was massive, and their wails became louder, and simultaneously they all rushed to escape his body and since he had no direct control over them due to his weakened soul, they simply tore out of his body in a spray of golden blood.
One snake burst out through his mouth, it was as large as a python, and it continued shooting out of his mouth with deadly momentum and even after more than thirty feet of its body had escaped from his mouth, it was not the end, and more was still coming out.
The force of its emergence tore his throat to shreds, and his jaws were dislocated, the entire length of the snake finally came out to seventy feet long as its tail finally left his ravaged mouth.
Another snake burst out from his left chest and the last from his stomach, they emerged with such violence his body was nearly torn in three. The pain for him was meaningless, he sought to understand what was happening as well as observe the snakes that just left his body after consuming his hearts.
His body was rapidly healing, but the location of his hearts was noticeably empty, his blurry sight captured the three-massive forty – foot snakes hovering above him. He noticed that they were beginning to shed, for their scales were previously golden, but now, beneath the skin was presently a darker gold scales.
With a great hiss, they simultaneously discarded their previous skins, and they began to circle in the air while giving out hisses of joy, they also began to expand rapidly.
Rowan noticed that each snake had grown a little to seventy-five feet long, each of them seemed able to fly without any aid. Their faces were not like snakes, but more like dragons, and the snakes had distinct appearances.
The first one that burst out from his mouth, had only a single eye like a Cyclops, the large orb was entirely white and covered a large portion of its face. Its scales were dark golden with white stripes along its stomach.
The second, that came from his chest, had two red eyes that appeared remarkably close to humans. Rowan saw it even had lashes. This one seemed to have a gentle nature, as it stopped hissing and began looking around curiously, its scales were a light shade of gold, and numerous purple dots covered its scales.
The last from his stomach had three eyes, with the third being at the center of its head, its eyes were slit like a reptile, and its gaze was cold. Unlike the other two snakes that had an Aura of majesty, this one emanated brutality and blood thirst. It was golden red, with the red almost overtaking its gold coloration.
Its head were now as large as a cart, and it began turning both ways, as its tongue flickered from its mouth, as if it was scanning the environment for prey.
Its eyes became fixed on the hovering black eye that was still continuously generating a Soul storm around Rowan's body, faster than Rowan's sight could follow, it attacked!
The opened mouth was like the gates to the abyss, as massive needle - sharp teeth began to grow inside its mouth at a rapid pace, its mouth closed over the eyes, and its body swayed as if it was chewing on the eye.
The eyes of the third snake were slightly closed as if in enjoyment. No, it was enjoyment! As Rowan was beginning to detect a growing connection between him and the three hovering snakes.
He felt a phantom pain, as the head of the snake chewing on the Eyes of A Primordial Keeper exploded.
That action caused the other two snakes to react as they released an Aura of barbaric savagery, even the gentle second snake with the human eyes seemed to transform into a creature of endless blood thirst, and they began attacking the Eyes.
The head from the third snake had already reformed as the scattered pieces of its head transformed to golden mist and fused back to its flesh, and in seconds it was whole again. Rowan stared in dumb amazement.
It joined the attack, and again all three of their heads were blasted apart, but they repeated reformed their heads and relentlessly attacked, each of them had grown needle sharp teeth the size of long swords, that made a shrill sound as they cut through the air.
Rowan was detecting a formless energy flowing down the head of the snakes and into his body, it was cold, and he nearly gave out a moan of pleasure, as this energy seemed to be massaging his soul and was transforming it.
That energy went into the Soul Seizer bloodline, and Rowan did not have to check, but he knew the bloodline was evolving even without him using any soul points.
Somehow, even though the snakes were repeatedly being destroyed, they seemed Immortal and they were currently plundering vital essence from the Eye.
Giving out a furious scream that reverberated through the horizon, the Eye began to ascend, clearly intending to leave, but the snakes pursued it. Their speed was ghost-like, and in the short while before the Eye vanished from the material world, the snakes had repeatedly bitten and plundered a lot of its essence.
It appeared dispirited and weak, but it gave out a final scream that pushed away the snakes and reality was torn apart as it fled into a Crack in the middle of the sky.
