Chapter 1070: Late Salvation

Rowan continued pushing through the force beams and he cocked his head to the side, closed his right eye, and said, “Bang!”

Even before the battle had started, Rowan was already weaving threads of Ascendant Aura all over the body of the Ascendant, and although the Divine Ascendant at the moment had covered himself in armor, he had not done so previously when Rowan made his first finger gun.

At that time the Ascendant had not found Rowan as much of a threat and this gave Rowan the opportunity to plant a seed of Ascendant Aura on the body of the Ascendant, throughout the battle, Rowan had been focused on pushing that seed deeper into the body of the Ascendant who in his distracted state had not noticed the seed of his destruction pushing towards his heart.

With Rowan’s next gesture, the trap was completed and unleashed.

The Divine Ascendant’s chest bulged and he looked down in shock right before his torso exploded, and it was as if he transformed into a silver sun for a few seconds. A series of massive shockwaves exploded from his position, and even the extremely durable space of the threshold developed minute cracks for a few moments.

The explosion unexpectedly ceased as the Ascendant used all his willpower to suppress the eruption inside him but that caused his body to be flung hundreds of miles away, he landed with a resounding crash and he groaned in pain.

What was left of him was surprisingly still much unchanged, the silver metallic shell over his entire body kept his limbs intact, and except for the massive hole in his torso that was bleeding black and silver Aura, he still had the means to move on his own.

Yet losing more than forty percent of Core Aura was a terrible injury for an Ascendant, for unlike normal immortals who could create clones of flesh, an Ascendant could not create clones for themselves, but to balance this weakness, they were almost impossible to hurt with any form of conventional methods.

An Ascendant outside reality would be a terrible opponent to any gods, archmages, demons, or angels, for their bodies were ethereal and almost impossible to destroy using most normal methods, and their attacks were infused with soul power, which meant any blow from their Natal Treasure would be directly striking the souls of their opponent.

Soul defense was not something that could be easily learned and most would never have the means to defend their souls against the specialized attacks from an Ascendant’s Natal Treasure, but Rowan did not have this problem.

Every blow made by Rowan was infused with an enormous amount of Ascendant Aura that destabilized the Core Aura of the Divine Ascendant, without this method, he would have to use a thousand times more power to achieve lesser effects, and even though Rowan was strong enough to blast an Ascendant apart using only strength as his Primordial Ouroboros Serpents had been able to do such a thing, it was ultimately a less efficient way to fight, and it would be almost impossible to kill the Ascendant in a shirt time using that method, and although Rowan acted unconcerned, he knew he was on a strict time limit before interferences would inevitably arrive.

Blasting back the Ascendant with his hidden method, Rowan finally had the time to handle the incoming shroud.

He turned around and holding his arms out, he poured a stupid amount of Ascendant energy into his limbs that made his arm transform into a bar of blue light, releasing a loud hum like a thousand lightning bolts were caged inside them, in that single moment, the amount of Ascendant Aura in his arms was almost equal to the entirety of the Aura inside the Divine Ascendant!

The shroud crashed into his upraised arms and the blast of Aura that erupted from his arm paused it in place for a brief moment, enough time for Rowan to seize the shroud, and holding the struggling material in his hand, with a roar he tore the shroud in two. A continent in the distance caved into itself before exploding in a fiery inferno that could be seen for thousands of miles.

Rowan turned around, holding the two halves of the flaming shroud, and he began to slowly walk towards the Divine Ascendant. The flaming shroud turning to ash in his arms left a trail of darkness behind him that contrasted with his red hair and green skin, making Rowan take the form of a berserking Asura treading through a field of flames and destruction.

The Divine Ascendant had been trying to heal, focusing on closing the massive hole in his chest that was spewing out his Core Aura, the wounds began to close, as he shaped his Core Aura like clay to mend, but this made his silver shell dissipate and seeing the incoming danger he attempted to fly backward but Rowan appeared behind him once again, with his right hand stuck through the closing hole, a continuous burst of Ascendant Aura erupted from his arm bounding both of them together like glue.

Gasping in shock, the Ascendant looked at Rowan’s arm poking through his chest, and he laughed in pain as he grabbed Rowan’s arm and tried to futilely push his body away from Rowan’s arm, but it was useless. freewёbnoνel.com

“How can you fall for the same trick twice,” Rowan whispered in the ears of the Divine Ascendant, and he grabbed his neck with his left hand about to rip the Ascendant in two when the two hovering orbs in the shoulders of the Ascendant revolved and fired a bright beam of concussive force towards Rowan.

Hardly pausing his actions, Rowan lunged forward with his mouth, and bit one of the orbs, chewing through it with his pearly white teeth, and his left hand briefly left the neck of the Ascendant and seized the orb, applying force he crushed it and tossed it aside.

His hand returned to the neck of the Ascendant, but that brief distraction was enough for the crown of the Ascendant to flash once again, unleashing a potent wave of destruction, unfortunately for the Ascendant, Rowan was not blasted away like before. He weathered through the destruction, and for a moment it was possible to see Rowan’s bones and grinning skull inside the flames as his flesh was turned to ash, but his eyes never left the Ascendant.

The explosion ended but Rowan’s arm was still stuck inside the chest of the Ascendant, and bringing a face that was nothing but a grinning flaming skull to the side of the Ascendant’s face he whispered, “That was a good fight, I shall remember your name.”

It was inevitable that this fight would draw attention, and from multiple continents above, many bright lights began to rain down like stars, hundreds of them, other Ascendants descending to investigate the battle below.

His hand over the neck of the Divine Ascendant tightened, and he slowly began to pull him

apart.

The Divine Ascendant screamed and struggled, trying to keep his body together, but with every micro tear in his Core Aura, Rowan replaced them with his Ascendant Aura. The eyes of the Ascendant looked to the heavens, where his salvation descended, but they would be coming too late.
