Rowan's strength was great, and his high Agility and Spirit gave him strong control over his powers. Skin, although it was elastic, was still surprisingly strong and was fastened firmly to the muscles of the body, and a Dominator skin was far tougher.
If he had just pulled with brute force, he may have torn away the skin only on the priest's chest, but Rowan vibrated his palm at the moment he squeezed the skin, severing all the connection of the skin to the muscles, and as if he were pulling away clothes from a body, he tore the skin away from the priest.
His screams were loud and shrill, as he wept in pain, and he kept apologizing to Rowan.
The people cried out in shock and horror, as some of them tried to push forward to stop Rowan or plead to him while being held back by others.
