Rowan removed the spatial bracelet from his wrist and turned it over, it was about eight inches long, and even with all the abuse he had gone through the past few days, it was still flawless.

He had been spurting out intense amounts of flames from all over his body, and their destructive capabilities were not to be underestimated, yet the bracelet had survived all that without any hint of damage, the only heat from the bracelet was from his own body.

He had an intuition that this bracelet was not ordinary. The first time he had inspected it, he had seen a symbol, most likely representing its creator Mist Tower.

He knew of no major organization in Trion with this name. To create something like this Spatial bracelet must require enormous effort and capability, it was most likely that this bracelet was not made anywhere near Trion.

Rowan had first used his Spirit to try to break open the Spatial bracelet before, but he failed, now that he had access to his Mental Space, it should make it more manageable, since he could visualize and manipulate his Spirit, he should do a better job than previously.

Rowan closed his eyes and maneuvered the golden fog representing his Spirit to take the shape of a hand, and he directed it towards the bracelet.

Rowan opened his eyes, his Spirit had manifested itself outside his body, and to his surprise, it was invisible, unlike when he could see the colors inside his Mental Space.

However, when he began zooming in with his Spatial Sight, the colors began to reveal itself, and he could see a faint golden hand wrapped around the bracelet. Urging his Spirit, he began moving the golden hand across the entire bracelet.

A sizzling sound started emerging from the bracelet and Rowan could see many microscopic sparks of another Spirit Essence, which was red, slowly being worn away. The sparks hit the floor and began transforming the floor into blood.

Rowan deliberated on this phenomenon for a while, for it would appear that spirits also had their own attributes and in large doses they could transform reality. The ground below him had been truly transformed to blood.

He decided to hover above the ground, as he was not fond of skinny-dipping into a growing pool of blood. If this Spatial bracelet belonged to General Augustus, whose bloodline controlled the Pathway of Flesh, it was not too surprising that his Spirit would create lakes of blood.

His Spirit was not yet capable of altering reality, but it was still outstanding that he could wear out the Generals Spirit inside the bracelet, maybe the reason was related to the attribute of his Spirit.

As long as there was visible progress, he would continue. Rowan kept at it until his Spirit was exhausted, and waited for another five seconds, and it was refilled back to its maximum.

Unlike Aether, his Spirit could be rapidly replenished at an astonishing rate, as his second Omnipotent bloodline pushed its recovery rate to be hundreds of times faster. For most Dominators, except taking specialized pills, they would have to take between days to even months to replenish their Spirit Essence.

Rowan analyzes the speed at which he broke down the Spirit barrier on the bracelet, and using the 80 hours a day of this world as his benchmark, he should be done in a week.

It was not a particularly long time for him, and for the moment he was safe. He had stayed in this mountain for two days without any outside interference, and judging by the width of this mountain, and how far down his Spatial Sight had traveled, the mountain should be at least 20,000 meters tall, and his cave should be close to the middle of the mountain.

He was not in the best conditions, and he had lost Envy. It was important to his survival if he could find clothes or weapons inside this Spatial bracelet, so, using a week to unlock it was not a bad investment.

Rowan was also passively collecting about 100 soul points daily, and at the end of the week, he should have enough to evolve his bloodline a bit forward and suppress more of the curse.

He should be more powerful by then, and he would have more options for his next step.

Deciding on this course of action, he climbed to the mouth of his cave and sealed it shut by blasting Bone Fire towards the cave ceiling. The green flame was more explosive, and after two blasts aided by Aether, he was sealed shut inside the mountain.

Thus, Rowan settled into hours of scraping away at the Spatial Bracelet, while simultaneously training his Spiritual Essence control and investigating every Ability Rune inside his Mental Space and lastly investigating the elements of this curse.

His ability to split his mind was working at full speed, and he made progress and three days went by, and Rowan realized he would have to change the time he would break open the bracelet from a week to four days!

These past three days of intense contemplation about his abilities had borne fruit, and his control over Aether and his Spirit Essence had increased. He could now safely gather forty specks of snow-white Aether.

The Spiritual Essence golden hand was now firmer, and it could last longer, and after all these times contemplating on his Ability Runes, Rowan finally decided on a path he could use in developing and understanding Aether which was through his Berserker Ability Runes.

Unlike his other Ability Runes, Berserker came with a detailed explanation on how to properly exert Aether in each move set, the Runes had been separated, and he could practice with each of them, thereby increasing his proficiency in using his spiritual abilities.

Seeing such clear progress, Rowan doubled down on his efforts, and he quickly reached the 80 percent mark in breaking open the Spatial bracelet. Deciding to pause all other activities, he focused solely on breaking through the bracelet.

His multiple streams of thoughts all aligned to crack a single puzzle

The floor below him had turned into a pool of blood, and he frowned at the stench it gave off, he split his thoughts, so he could send a small ball of red flame towards the blood pool.

The flame dropped and Rowan was surprised when it hovered over the pool of blood, and slowly the blood began to rise in many tiny streams and fed the red flame which slowly began to brighten.

In a while, all the blood was consumed, leaving behind a flame that did not give out much light but resumed a red gem, Rowan noticed this new state of his flame and filed it away for later investigation. The ruby-like flames actively attracted all the blood that transformed from the floor, and Rowan left it to its own device.

Focusing back to the breaking the Spirit the General left behind, he continued making steady progress

With a snap, the last of the Spirit embedded in the Spatial bracelet was dispersed, and Rowan smiled in exultation. He pushed his Spirit inside the bracelet, and he saw a purple space that was a hundred meters wide and two hundred meters long, it was about the size of two football stadiums.

About half the space was empty, and it appeared to lack gravity or air, as various materials floated about. Rowan Spirit swept through the entirety, and he understood everything inside.

Most of it were filled with weapons of all shapes and sizes, some were made from bones and other exotic materials, he even saw a sword that was emanating flames, a bow that had an icy arrow appear and disappear around its strings and many other strange weapons.
