The Primordial Record

The threshold shook for hundreds of miles as Rowan stamped his feet and charged at the Divine Ascendant.

Two beams of force speared out from the two hovering orbs of silver on the Divine Ascendant's shoulders, as they traveled towards Rowan, the energy of time wrapped around the beam and it vanished appearing a few moments in the past at the precise moment Rowan made his move.

One moment the twin beams of force were dozens of feet away from Rowan and the next they were two millimeters away from crushing his skull.

Rowan's eyes widened and his perception slowed time to a near stop, and he bent his neck backward, farther than what could ever be natural, and the beam of force barely brushed past him, ruffling his long red hair.

He never stopped moving as his body straightened to receive another dozen bolts of force, and now aware of the nature of time in the threshold, Rowan's reaction speed quickened in anticipation, the beams he could not dodge he punched aside causing them to explode harmlessly hundreds of feet away, and for a while, Rowan was bombarded by thousands of beams of force that he seemed to have grown a hundred hands.

Every move he made was sublime, reaching levels of accuracy and grace that made the heart of the Divine Ascendant shudder, with his enhanced soul, he knew how impossible the moves that his foe was blocking were to pull off. He was using his powerful comprehension ability to direct every single beam of force, but he was being easily countered.

The Divine Ascendant roared, his ethereal heart for the first time in many millennia, began to beat in equal part excitement and fear, the orbs over his shoulders blazed with so much power as they released thousands of beams of force every second making it so that the body of the Ascendant was covered under their glow, and it was like two suns were standing in his place. Underneath this relentless barrage, Rowan suddenly knelt and slapped his palms together generating a shockwave in the shape of a disc that dispersed the beams of force around him and sliced towards the Divine Ascendant.

Bringing his shield to bear, the Ascendant blocked the move, but underestimating the amount of force in that air slice, his body rang like a metal bell and was blown back a dozen feet in the air, and when he landed with his sword swinging expecting another round of attack, Rowan was no longer in front of him, only his instincts saved him as his body wrapped by the power of time moved before he could even comprehend anything, and he brought his shield behind him just in time to stop a thunderous punch heading for the back of his skull.

"Boom!!"

The blow smashed his shield into his body, breaking his left arm at the elbow and pulverizing his shoulder as he was crushed to the ground, losing a certain percent of his body's Core Aura to damage, his cape whirled around him, turning him around so he could face Rowan head- on, while the silver orbs in his shoulders were blasting out hundreds of bolts in a fraction of a second to push Rowan back.

The next few moments tested the Divine Ascendant to his limits and beyond, and he could no longer think of anything but the battle in front of him as existence shrank to a dot.

Rowan came like a storm, a cataclysm of violence, with the Ascendant at the back foot, he muscled his way through the blasts of force and swung a mighty kick at the chest of the prone Ascendant, who barely brought up his shield with his healed arm back up, but not quickly enough and due to the angle that it was placed in, a corner of the shield was blasted off by Rowan's kick.

Miles below, a section of the continent of Stone Reach measuring hundreds of miles exploded into nothingness and fire.

Rowan caught the disintegrating piece of the shield in the air and threw it down toward the Ascendant with so much force it almost vanished into space.

The Divine Ascendant roared and channeled the silver orbs to release a constant beam of force against the descending bolt, the two forces clashing and releasing so much light, force, and a weird metallic shriek that it was almost like a star exploding.

The piece of the shield pierced through the bolts of force and embedded itself into the shield the Ascendant barely brought in place, but a kick from Rowan impacted against his ribs and his body shot out for miles, even with the protection of his cape and his crown, his body vibrated with barely suppressed force, thereby generating a tremendous amount of heat that made the body of the Ascendant release a massive silver flame like a supernova as ten percent of his entire Aura Body was lost.

The Divine Ascendant screamed in pain and shock and his crown lit up like a star, sending a pulse of energy that vanished into the heavens, for a brief moment everything was silent, then a massive explosion with the Divine Ascendant being at the center erupted, Rowan crossed his arms before him and was pushed back for dozens of feet, flames hotter than what could be found at the center of a star rushed past him, but his shield of Ascendant energy wrapped around his body kept him safe, although some heat passed through it, they were only enough to give him light burns that vanished the next moment.

The Divine Ascendant freeing himself from the relentless assault of Rowan pulled his cape from his shoulders and waved it overhead like a whip.

The cape whipped out of his hand and vanished into the sky where it descended like a shroud that covered both Rowan and the Ascendant, and then it began to shrink, the Ascendant held out his hands and the two hovering orbs descended upon it and directed his hands towards Rowan where he released the entirety of the energy within the orbs.

No longer shooting bolts but twin pillars of energy that pulled the tides of time towards it with great force that there was no way Rowan could dodge this move.

Rowan breathed in and out harshly, his breathe burning the air, and he crossed his arms in front of him, receiving the twin beam of force on them, with a grunt he was pushed backward for hundreds of feet and his back slammed against the shrinking shroud that caught him like a fly trapped in amber.

At least that was what was supposed to happen, but with Rowan's situational awareness, there was no way he would allow himself to be captured that easily. His robe flared to the left and he dragged to the side, the beam relentlessly following him, but he was no longer in danger of being pushed into the shroud because his feet were now steady.

Rowan took a step and then another, pushing against the beam of force, and then he slowly began to move faster, from blocking with two hands, he began using only his right, and with his now free left hand, he made a finger gun.
