Chapter 445 Pincer Attack

Chapter 445 Pincer Attack

The red Tribulation Cloud surrounded Rowan's body like a tornado and massive red lightning began to slam into his body destroying massive portions of it, but Rowan Knowledge Well was focused on the attack of the god that pierced his head.

That whip attack, if it was before his understanding of Intent, he would have thought the move was so fast that he missed it, but that was not all there was to this move, there was speed, yes, that could not be denied, but there was also Intent!

Everything worked in the favor of Dao Ma, assuring that his attack must always hit his target.

Knowledge Well showed him a rapid replay of what happened, as various spatial cracks appeared in just the right spot to cover the movement of the whip head from his senses.

'Amazing' Rowan thought, 'I am about to die now, but seeing Intent in action is worth it. Yet who knew the Berserker Aspect could become something like this?'n(-o()v)(e--l)/b)-1-/n

The power inside this storm was ridiculous, and Rowan realized the moment it hit him, that he did not need to reach the Origin Level for the Berserker Technique to touch the level of gods.

Although he had calculated how much Attributes and knowledge were given to him at each successive level of the Berserker Technique, with that data he had judged that there was still one more level of power before he reached the level of gods.

He was wrong.

Although it was by no fault of his, the Berserker Aspect was a strange technique that separated its top levels into two portions giving its user access to powers of a greater level, this was advantageous to every user of the Berserker Technique, but such a great advantage also came with great cost.

The Tribulation Cloud that should have come at the peak of this technique would arrive early and users of the Berserker Aspect would have to face two Tribulations. This was what made the Berserker Aspect a very difficult power to master, as death was most likely the option when their Tribulations arrived, although they gave their users great powers in exchange.

Dao Ma's strike was incredibly sneaky and arrived at the best moment to take advantage of this Tribulation. When the spear point passed through Rowan's head, he might have appeared fine on the surface, but the open hole in his head that did not fade away even after a few seconds was a telltale sign that he was suffering a heavy attack.

His body might appear whole, but that was only a facade, he was being diced finely into minute cubes and although there was no force preventing him from healing, that single attack was persistent, and with his body under such a heavy attack, the Tribulation Lightning struck, each bolts not only carrying an enormous amount of energy but also a frightful Will that sought to annihilate him from existence.

Rowan's Absolute Body reached the limit, after enduring attacks that would destroy many Minor Worlds and he was turned to ash, and the frightening powers did not cease but leaped into his Mental Space.

The Tribulation Lightning from the Berserker Advancement appeared inside his Mental Space like a warrior made from red lightning and he screamed a battle cry and charged towards the depth of Rowan's Mental Space, while the attack from Dao Ma took the form of a thousand-foot green crocodile with cunning eyes that followed.

Although the techniques were fast, there was a formless pressure inside his Mental Space that reduced their speed, and judging by the size of Rowan's Mental Space it would take a considerable amount of time before they reached the center of it.

Rowan relaxed, he could handle these powers later and focus on the battle outside but he became mute in shock when the Primordial Sea of Darkness rose and swallowed both godly attacks.

The Berserker Lightning Avatar gave a shrill scream as it froze and was devoured by the sea, and the green crocodile faded even faster.

Except for a slight decrease in the overall level of the Sea, it was impossible to tell that he was just struck by an attack from two god-level powers.

Rowan's body returned in a flash, and he looked at his hands in wonder. His Territory had driven his survivability up in such a drastic manner.

Because the Avatar of Eve bloodline did not have such great defensive prowess, he had unknowingly looked down on the power of this bloodline.

He suddenly noticed that the Primordial Sea began to bubble and its volume increased a bit. Endless waves of information entered his mind as the Immortal Level of the Berserker Technique not only enhanced his mind but flooded his body with a great amount of Attributes.

Rowan opened his eyes; he was stronger, the Immortal level of Berserker giving him a ridiculous amount of Attribute points, but... he was not satisfied.

His mind touched his Territory and it had perfectly assimilated the powers it had just devoured, and it did it so well there could not be any contamination of his bloodline, and if he wished to carry on his plan of assimilating the Territories of Dominators and the Divine kingdom of gods was now a viable idea.

This would have been his thought if he did not yet understand that there was a deeper level to the power of gods because he had just been contaminated by Intent.

What he wanted was not attribute points he gained from Berserker or the easy growth of his Territory, he desired to keep his bloodline pure and untainted, even though his Primordial Sea of darkness seemed to have the ability to assimilate the powers from other bloodlines, all those extra powers came with Intent.

Before he had a method to effectively cleanse the Intent from his body and Territory, he did not want to assimilate more of it.

With his conversation with the Chaos Door, he understood that the only way to fight against Intent was to have a Domain, but that was only available when you became a god.

Luckily he had a method that he could solve this small crisis for now. With a Treasure that had aided him greatly in the past—The Tower of Greed.
