The formation on the ground had strengthened the earth to an unfathomable degree and the impact of Rowan's body left no single grain of dust disturbed.

A peculiar force that Rowan was now a bit familiar with as he had experienced it a while back began spreading around his body. It was Decay.

He quickly realized that the potency of this one was far lesser than what he had experienced during the Berserker Tribulation, and so it could only cause him great pain as his body was repeatedly corroded but still not quickly enough before he healed the damage, but since the energy was persistent, the cycle continued, making Rowan's skin increasingly pale.

The increasing weight on his body did not cease and was still being constantly boosted, with the ground below him not giving way, and it appeared as if he was going to be grounded to dust.
