The Primordial Record

Chapter 1459 First Strike

There had been eight of them a moment before, and in the blink of an eye, only six were left. Rowan had expected such losses, but he would have preferred if his companions had died while striking the Dark One with their last breath, it was the only consolation that could be afforded to them, however, he understood that this was how things were going to be when mortals stood against what could be best described as a force of nature, even his death could be unexpectedly swift and sudden and he had no way of preventing that from occurring.

As suddenly as it had begun, the eruption of this corrosive liquid stopped, and Rowan looked below to see that the pool of acid was gone, the force from the cry of the Dark One had blasted them out of the area, and it finally revealed their foe, and Rowan blinked, because the Earth god here was familiar, even through the ruinous state of his features, his face belonging to someone he had killed not so long ago, Drakul, the Old One, that ancient vampire that had fed on countless universes and dimensions, well, in this Fracture he was an Earth god aspiring to become a god.

Rowan did not try to analyze if this scene had ever happened in the past, due to the many inconsistencies surrounding it, for one, it was unknown if Acturus and Drakul had been born at the same time period, he suspected that Acturus had existed far before Drakul was born because Seed was ancient, and even if that was to be the case where these two had lived in the same time period, Acturus had been a mortal because of the wishes of Seed his father, Drakul, on the other hand, was born during the Primordial Era, and he began life as a gigantic extra-dimensional bat-like creature. It was in the endless bounty of the Primordial Era where power could be easily obtained that Drakul had grown into the horror that plagued reality for countless years until he was slaughtered in the war that ended the Primordial Era.
