The Primordial Record

Chapter 1048: Queen Of Monsters



A Deific Ranked Explorer could kill hundreds of Legend Ranks with no issues, but there was not just a hundred Legend here, or even a thousand, even millions were just scratching the surface.

Rowan cocked his head to the side as he noticed that the Heroic Center for the Shiik had been upgraded and there was nothing stopping the creature from ascending to the Glorious Rank and even higher, it could reach the Legend Rank in a single go.

Crouching, he touched a strand of hair on the Shiik, "Grow, my child. All these are yours to feast on, remember my promises to you child, the suns above shall be yours to feast on."

The battered Shiik who was nearly suppressed to the ground by the weight of bodies that covered the entire horizon, went silent, before digging its massive legs into the ground and it shrieked.

Except for Rowan, everything around the Shiik was blasted for hundreds of feet, and in that small vacuum it had to grow, the body of the was covered by red lightning and it transformed into a large fleshy sack that began to bubble and expand drastically.

Unlike the normal times when the Shiik would have to consume the flesh of Calmities to grow, there was so much Aura of Calmity in the air, that its growth had only been stopped by its potential.

The ball of flesh exploded in size pushing back the surrounding Calamities, and like a mountain rising from the earth, it grew until it was a mile high. Then its growth ceased, occasionally there would be a flash of red lightning inside the ball of flesh, outlining the shape of a massive monster with too many limbs.

The ball of flesh rumbled and a massive spear burning with red flames erupted from within it and stretched across the earth, and everything that it passed was devastated.

The earth was cracked and the skies shattered. A wave of flames that chewed through everything like an acid swept across the leg, and the earth exploded again and again as the flames were so volatile, that it ate through every matter it came across.

Anyone who had witnessed the battle in the past against the Ouroboros Serpents and the Ascendant Explorers would recognize something in these red flames, although it was much diminished and could not equal the original. These flames had the properties of Null Charges, whose roots were related to oblivion.

The spear that had been going straight across the battlefield began to fall, and it impacted the ground causing an earthquake and an eruption like a volcano.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

From the ball of flesh, more spears kept erupting that impacted against the earth, causing greater devastation that could be seen for miles, smoke and fire erupted from the position like a super volcano, and the heat fried every Calamity around for tens of miles.

The so-called spears were not spears but limbs, all thirty of them and each half a mile long. The flesh sack exploded and the Shiik arose from it, and she kept rising, her armored body with red runes burning with a harsh red flame was like a rising comet, and when she stood to her full size, her head touched the clouds, and the halo of fire that surrounded continued extending until a mile around her were empty of any living thing.

Rowan appeared on the head of the Shiik, and the monster features that resembled a woman had not changed much, but there was now an armored half-mask around her head that covered the top part of her head to include her eyes, leaving her nose and mouth bare.

His discerning eyes looked around and he noticed two figures on the edge of death near the domain of the Shiik, the flames had consumed them until there were barely anything but bones, and as Rowan watched they collapsed into ashes and twin flood of blue Ascendant energy raced towards him, any mist that erupted from their passing were burnt into ash before they could even spit out monsters.

The domain of the Shiik at the Legendary rank was further strengthened by the Calmity Suns overhead feeding every Calamity creature with an overabundance of Aura. The Ascendant Aura sank into Rowan's body and he sighed as it began to feed all his transformed cells, but it was barely enough to cover up two percent of everything he would need in order to complete his Heroic Ranked body.

It was a good thing then that he had various prey not too far from him and the perfect vehicle to reach them. There was a growing tension in his heart for he knew that the part of his summoned consciousness would destroy this fragile body unless he took it to a higher rank. His black eyes shone with a blue glow as he searched for the energy of Ascendancy, and he soon found the closest barely a hundred miles away, of the hundreds of ships, nearly half had been destroyed, gritting his teeth against the waste, Rowan gave a mental command, and the Shiik vibrated in place for a second before bringing its massive limbs into motion.

Each of its massive limbs that stretched for half a mile began to move, tearing the earth apart and destroying everything in its path. This was a true Calamity creature, not the tiny annoyances burning to ash from its Aura alone.

Like the queen of monster that the Shiik was transforming to become, it left a trail of destruction in its wake, and in a stunning move that defied its size and weight, when it reached the ocean after just two steps, the Shiik did not sink into its depths, instead, it walked on water as if it was solid ground.

Each of its limbs weighed nearly half a million tonnes, and her armored body like a mountain range weighed ten times more, yet she strode across the ocean as if it was dry land.

In less than a minute, Rowan reached the first fleet of ships.
