"Kahh...koff!" Grehha coughed intermittently as he felt an urge to vomit, having been constantly consuming blood all along to refine it into Prana for Pet's usage at the Kalahatra Desert. That wasn't all. He was also absorbing Prana from a Biome Bomb, operating at the peak capacity of stress that his 10-Life Stage stacked body could handle.
His expression was weary, brimming with exhaustion, 'I have transformed the entire Kalahatra Desert into its ivory counterpart. Now, I only need to actively assist Resha so that he can fight Brangara better.'
He tried to get up but an intense sense of exhaustion crept upon him, causing him to sigh, 'I'm not even risking my life. The least I could do is fight my hardest until the end.'
For a moment, he glanced at the cocoon containing his daughter and firmed his mind, "By the time she is born, Sumatra ought to be more peaceful."
In response to his thoughts, Pet hastened its travel underground and unleashed another bone mist geyser to target he Celestial Boar.
The bone mist geyser slammed into the absolute domain and was warded off. The region beyond the absolute domain was covered by bone mist, and popping about in large numbers in the space were Biome Bombs encroaching upon the absolute domain.
Kaboom!
Brangara thew another Unlimited Predator Satellite and rushed forward, clearing out a row of Biome Bombs through a combination of Subtle Terrain Domination, Internal Inertial Gravity, and Rocky Intimidation.
The effect of Rocky Intimidation was more on the level of the suppression effect unleashed by a powerful being's presence. Hence, Inala's typical defence capabilities weren't unable to weaken it.
The Biome Bombs worked with lower efficiency thanks to Rocky Intimidation. Rock pillars appeared next to him and were then turned into small spheres. A layer of Mud Ball was applied on it, followed by a Prana Bomb.
The Mud Ball acted as an internal adhesive, connecting the Prana Bomb to the rock pillar. The fluid of the Prana Bomb gradually seeped into the rock pillar that was turned porous. This way, whatever Prana that the Prana Bomb absorbed was funnelled into the rock pillar, ensuring the effects of Rocky Intimidation was maintained constantly as long as it was touching a target.
And here, the targets were none other than the Biome Bombs.
Minor Treasure-Prana Shock x10!
The Celestial Boar launched a hail of spheres to accurately target the Biome Bombs eating into his absolute domain, targeting them all. Upon making contact, the sheer momentum behind the impact pushed the Biome Bombs backwards, striping them away from the absolute domain.
Following that, the two sides began to absorb the Prana of the other party. The Biome Bombs were clearly superior, since they were Mystic Grade Biome Bombs and could absorb Prana through eight channels. But in response to it, the Satellites with the combination of Prana Bomb, Mud Ball, and Rocky Intimidation gathered in large mass and bombarded the Biome Bombs.
Each Biome Bomb was targeted enough times until it lost in the Prana absorption tug-of- war. Once they were somewhat hindered, the Celestial Boar shrunk the absolute domain until it formed a thin layer over its body and then rushed forward with a combination of Subtle Terrain Domination, Shredded Lunge, and Prana Shock.
"Get back here, Inala!" The Celestial Boar roared and brought out the Minor Treasure of Gracious Inheritor. Exiting it were nine Tangible Natures of Accel Ram. Each Tangible Nature of Accel Ram fused with a body of it. And immediately following that, its pace accelerated like a charging bull.
Currently, his charging capacity had reached the same level as the Empyrean Boar King. Assuming human form, Brangara accelerated further and assumed his Pranic Beast form right as he slammed into the Royal Zinger.
Boom!
Every Tangible Piezo Slip and shockwaves unleashed by the Royal Zinger were countered by Mud Balls. The Mud Balls absorbed the attacks and exploded in response. And to ensure they hit their targets accurately, Brangara used the Minor Treasure of Drifting Tunnel for direction.
It locked both the shockwaves and the Mud Ball in a path, irrespective of how much it had to wind around for the two projectiles to meet each other. This ensured they came crashing onto each other.
Tangible Piezo Slips were extremely Prana Efficient and could be spammed nonstop by the Royal Zinger. Mud Balls were pretty similar in that regard, which allowed the Celestial Boar to keep up with the attacks.
"Go!" He grunted and threw an Unlimited Predator Satellite at the Royal Zinger, watching it absorb and consume some of the Biome Bombs along its flight path before approaching the target. However, an Attributed Region sphere slammed into it and countered it, 'The bastard's pretty fast to react. His plans too are ever-changing.'
'But that's it.' Brangara grinned, 'At his peak, he's barely equal to a 3-Life Stage version of me.'
In the Astral World, Prana accumulated within the Minor Treasure of Statue as Brangara prepared all seven of them. The moment he uses them, he could confine seven bodies of the Royal Zinger. Reduced to the 3-Life Stage, the Royal Zinger would no longer be scary.
Currently, the Royal Zinger was steadily consuming the endless Prana he had been generating. If Brangara was careless for even a moment, he would be reduced to the same state as before where he couldn't react much and had to constantly endure the attacks of the Mystic Paths.
'I'm never revealing such a flaw ever again!' Brangara grunted and used Accel Ram another time to bombard the Royal Zinger, watching a layer of Attributed Region water protect the latter. "I've seen it already."
"Why don't you use a Bolt of Transcendence against me? You did use it before," Brangara snorted as he concentrated his absolute domain to a point and rapidly drilled a hole through the Attributed Region water, following which he bombarded the Royal Zinger's body with a rain of attacks.
Minor Treasure-Whip Exhaustion x2!
The two whips moved through the hole and wrapped around the Royal Zinger's body, beginning to rapidly exhaust the latter. His absolute domain expanded once again and overpowered the Royal Zinger's Perfect Biome Domination.
One after another, the Celestial Boar shredded through the Royal Zinger's defences, "How many layers do you have, you damn coward?"
"Coward?" The Royal Zinger opened its mouth and shrieked, blasting forth a series of Prana Stitches. Strings of Prana burst out of the Celestial Boar's arms and stitched themselves together, constricting the arms.
One after another, strings of Prana continued to surge out and constrict the Celestial Boar.
The Royal Zinger was getting beaten up because it had been charging this attack. Each Prana Stitch emulated the Zinger Princess's Primary Nature of Inhibition bomb alongside the Zinger Prince's power of Prison Bomb.
Prison Bomb gathered all the particles in the air in an effort to form a restrictive layer over the Celestial Boar. This wasn't effective due to the absolute domain. However, as it tried to wrestle control from the absolute domain, it weakened the latter a little, which allowed for the Inhibition Bomb to absorb the Prana forming the absolute domain while weakening it.
This was what allowed these Prana Stitches to reach the Celestial Boar's body. However, the latter retaliated simultaneously, since the Royal Zinger's body remained unguarded.
Minor Treasure-Statue!
The moment it fused with the Royal Zinger's body, the latter was unable to move for a moment. Immediately using the chance, the Celestial Boar brought out one of its trump card.
Minor Treasure-Gracious Inheritor!
It too fused with the Royal Zinger's body. There was silence for an instant before it burst out all the influences gathered in it, absolutely damaging the Royal Zinger's mind. "Hurts, huh?"
"Isn't that what you subjected me to?" The Celestial Boar grunted as he opened its mouth and blast forth a series of Mud Balls to constrict the Royal Zinger. Both were tied up now, unable to move.
And right as the Celestial Boar had focused more on offence, two Biome Bombs used the chance to sneak up to its ears and jumped into the ear canal. Thy had gathered pretty much
most of the Prana stolen by the series of Biome Bombs, hiding amongst their kind while waiting for an opportunity.
Each of the two Biome Bombs had a sizeable amount of spark inside. It wasn't a complete Bolt of Transcendence, but was a dangerous amount. And the moment they entered the ear canal, they exploded, releasing a sea of sparks that rampaged within the ear.
Mystic Royal Art-Universal Slip!
Mystic Royal Art-Zinger Shriek!
A Bolt of Transcendence had three characteristics-information, fusion, and destruction.
The destruction component would destroy the target down from the fundamental level. The fusion component would try to make all the parts whole again. Finally, the information component would seep into the destroyed potions and fill up the gaps, allowing for the pieces to be puzzled together with greater completion.
If an entity could survive the process, they'll be refined and elevated into a Transcendent. But
if they were unable to endure the destruction process, they'd be vaporised.
Currently, the Celestial Boar had enough capacity to tank over a dozen Bolts of Transcendence
without issues. And even if a body dies, a new one could be regenerated in an instant. After all, as long as the Astral World remains intact, it wouldn't actually lose a life.
Moreover, the Celestial Boar was capable of rapidly switching through its nine bodies and
healing the damaged ones to tank as many Bolts of Transcendence as possible. Inala would need over a thousand to out damage its recovery and reach Astral World.
He didn't have that much, which was why he didn't recklessly use it. Instead, he had been
saving them, for his goal was the information aspect of it.
Mystic Royal Art-Piezo Response!
This skill had been wholly activated the entire time, allowing Inala to gather all the surface
level thoughts of Brangara, especially during moments of his weakest mental state. All that
data had been gathered and condensed within the Bolt of Transcendence in the form of Zinger
Shrieks.
And now, upon using Prana Circuit to carve the skill of Universal Slip onto the eardrum of the Celestial Boar, the two incomplete Bolts of Transcendence released their entirety.
Family! Murder! Boar Kings! He Squished Them! His Sons! He Killed Them!
The entire sequence of events was instantly transferred into his mind space, damaging it severely. Even though Brangara's mind wasn't as destroyed as before, it was still significantly damaged as he lived through the entire process with extreme clarity once again.
Everything that he had forgotten were brought to life in his mind.
"NOW!" The Royal Zinger opened its mouth and roared as dozens of Unlimited Predator
Satellites slammed into him and began to devour his body.
The remainder made a defensive formation around Brangara who barely managed to revert to
human form before he lost his mind. As if they had been waiting for it all along, a golden flash jiggered through the defensive line of Unlimited Predator Satellites and reached his chest with a fist.
The fist unfurled to reveal a mouth that had gathered a large sum of Prana and blasted it into a beam right onto Brangara's chest. It was Boul Brimgan, having kept his three Natures active all along. And now, he roared, having accumulated enough power, "This is for my mother!"
State of Harmony-Brimgan Deity!
