State of Harmony-Mystic Bone Art!
Flying through the air rapidly was Resha, his expression desperate as a pillar of light tracked his position and targeted him. He was barely managing to evade while in contrast, Brangara simply had to change the direction he was pointing his hand towards.
The ivory sand on the surface clustered and turned into spikes that rained upwards, bombarding Brangara.
"This is...fun!" Brangara chortled as he kicked the ground continuously, evading the hailstorm. He then created an Unlimited Predator Spear and threw it onto the ground, watching it melt through the ivory sand, making it incapable of being controlled by Resha for a short duration.
If Mystic Bone Art was kept active upon the region, the molten substance would recover, allowing it to be used for attacks once again. However, Resha didn't have the fortune of time to do so.
Thankfully, he wasn't alone as complex spears of bone jutted out of the ground one after another as the figure of Yennda rushed across the region, skidding past the Attributed Region Slabs, "Resha!"
"I know!" Resha shouted and gained control over the spears, his eyes lighting up in response, 'Controlling them feels...easy!'
Within each bone spear was a set of gears capable of converting torque and speed of rotation of the spearhead. Moreover, they were made to be effective for single-time use only. Hence, Yennda had installed springs inside, using spring force to generate a burst of torque the moment Resha supplies Prana into it.
That wasn't all. Fission beings in the shape of small blobs were embedded in the centre, maintaining Mystic Bone Art with the fragile Spirit Container in their bodies. They were already supplying the spearhead with enough force of psychokinesis.
Therefore, Resha only had to hurl it at Brangara without any grand usage of Prana. He was barely consuming a few units of Prana per spear. That wasn't all. The tip of the spears had been created with the power of Bone-Melting Artillery effective against the Celestial Boar's Prana.
"Sorry, it took time to prepare," Yennda shouted and leapt behind an Attributed Region Slab, avoiding the pillar of light directed at him by Brangara. He quickly activated Mystic Bone Art and merged into the ground, camouflaging himself among the ivory sand to avoid being detected by the enemy up in the sky.
"Better late than never!" Resha shouted as he flew through the sky as a rain of bone spears slammed into Brangara, the hailstorm of attacks beginning to gradually melt through his Unlimited Predator, 'It's effective!'
"Tch!" At the same time, Barla could only click her tongue, helpless at the situation for Brangara was actively staying way beyond her range. Astral Puncture was the strongest attack on Sumatra now, but it had to be combined with the attacks of others to truly become capable of damaging Astral World.
It was hard to team up when Brangara had taken refuge in the sky, "You're a coward!"
"Strongest of Sumatra my ass! Come here and face me if you dare!" Barla roared, having gathered Prana into her throat to unleash a shockwave, manifesting an Empyrean Boar Aurora in the sky. Her presence billowed crazily, enough to cause Brangara's skin prickles to go crazy.
In terms of absolute power, she had long surpassed Brangara's peak from Sumatra Chronicles. But that was why, Brangara avoided her, for behind all five successful attacks that damaged his Astral World was Barla.
State of Harmony-Brimgan Deity!
Boul Brimgan closed in on Brangara and punched the latter, followed by a destructive blast. He wasn't as concerned about the pillar of light, for he has a mineral body now. He only had to worry about the stream of Prana propping him up with psychokinesis, but that wasn't an issue, since he had two of them, each with an insane range of 180 kilometres.
No matter how wide the pillar of light encompasses, he was confident in keeping at least a stream in safety.
"Can't you just...die?" Boul Brimgan raised his hand upwards and brought them down to punch the Unlimited Predator in the shape of the Celestial Boar surrounding Brangara. There was no damage. He grunted as his hands spun like a Beyblade, following which he unleashed the destructive beam while using his hands like a spear, poking in a hole through the Unlimited Predator.
Boom!
An Unlimited Predator Spear slammed into his face as Boul Brimgan evaded it on time, having the reaction speeds necessary to do so. However, his body suddenly began to fall, 'Shit!'
Unlimited Predator Chakrams spun across the sky, covering the region for an instant that managed to cut off his stream of psychokinesis. Brangara also unleashed a pillar of light from both hands and spun around his position crazily. This managed to sever both the streams, placing Boul Brimgan in a vulnerable situation.
"You're indeed the peak of Free Humans," Right as Boul Brimgan unleashed a destructive beam to propel himself away, Brangara kicked the air and accelerated towards the latter, using the Minor Treasure of Drifting Tunnel to lock onto the target.
And then, he expanded Unlimited Predator to envelop Boul Brimgan within, "Now, you're caught within my range!"
The effects of Unlimited Predator concentrated upon the Biome Bomb stuck on Boul Brimgan's back. As if it had been chomped upon by a beast, the Biome Bomb sported a large jaw mark; it lost half its form. A second later, it was fully consumed.
Minor Treasure-Eddy Blade x4!
Brangara grabbed two Unlimited Predator Swords upon activating his four Minor Treasures of Eddy Blade and spun, hacking into Boul Brimgan whose figure moved across the enclosed space of Unlimited Predator using his destructive beams as a means of thrust.
'I need to hold on!' He thought, deactivating his State of Harmony to shrink his form to human size, watching the swords barely miss him, following which he activated his State of Harmony once again.
Spirit Weapons sprouted out of him, numbering eighty in total as they bombarded Brangra. However, in response, two whips appeared in Brangara's hands as he flailed around. In terms of speed, he wasn't comparable to Boul Brimgan.
But if done with expert technique after years to decades of practice, the tail end of a whip used by a normal human could break through the sound barrier. And when the same was unleashed by Brangara, the ends of his whips could barely keep up with Boul Brimgan's speed.
Thankfully, his mineral body meant he wasn't suppressed by Unlimited Predator. And as long as the whips don't touch him, he could endure inside for a while.
He was barely stuck inside for ten seconds before a cleave fell from the sky, accelerating at hypersonic speeds. It was Resha, having grabbed the cleave that Yennda had created in a hurry to accelerate it into the air upon turning it lightweight, and from its maximum altitude, he cranked its density to the extreme and dropped it onto Brangara.
Boom!
The cleave shattered upon impact but succeeded in caving a small region of Unlimited Predator, allowing Boul Brimgan to squeeze himself out after deactivating his State of Harmony. In his human Avatar form, he was the size of a normal human.
"Slippery rat," Brangara clicked his tongue at the missed opportunity and retracted the extra
layer of Unlimited Predator, watching Resha and Boul Brimgan flee towards the surface and
enter the maze.
The duo landed upon an Attributed Region slab and glared at Brangara, "What are you looking at, fuckers? Why the fuck would I enter that maze?"
For a moment he glanced at the figure of Yahard Tusk whose presence continued to build up, 'This bastard has been accumulating strength all along.'
His focus fell upon Boul Brimgan, who had taken a moment to catch a breather before letting out a chuckle, "What is funny?"
"You know..." Boul Brimgan spoke as a Biome Bomb scaled up the Attributed Region Slab and
latched onto his back, sending in Prana and Lifeforce, allowing him to replenish his reserves and heal the sustained damage. "It was a matter of time before you decided to fly, since Hidden Eye was pretty compromised during the Second Major Disaster thanks to you. So obviously, we had a plan."
"You see..." Boul Brimgan deactivated his State of Harmony as his ten Kinesis Felines flew towards the Royal Zinger and perched onto its body. The Biome Bombs there weaved a string of Prana and stitched the two together.
This way, through the Kinesis Felines, Boul Brimgan could carry the Royal Zinger's body and
keep it beyond Brangara's reach, "That guy loves to think. Even he cannot predict everything, but he has been pretty accurate until now."
"What?" A foreboding sensation pervaded his being as Brangara looked around in fluster. Nothing had changed from a few seconds ago, but suddenly, his survival instincts started to flare up.
'Except for Royal Split being ineffective, everything else has been happening as per the plan.' Boul Brimgan let out slow chuckles as his eyes gradually reddened, "It took us time to set up this trap, Brangara. Everything was in preparation for this."
A hole formed in the Attributed Region Slab as Resha jumped in. Suddenly, there was no one
standing outside anymore. Yennda was gone. Yahard Tusk who had been making a powerful show of presence had disappeared. The Transcendent Eater's root constructs vanished, and finally, the Royal Zinger's body was rapidly being transported away.
'What is happening now?' Brangara felt the jitters as suddenly, the Kalahatra Desert was
empty. Moreover, at some point in time, the Influenced Region of Armoury had vanished too,
'I didn't even notice such a massive structure vanishing. When did it happen? I was too focused on Barla until now. Shit!'
"You know..." Boul Brimgan spoke, as the sole person still standing out, "While we had been
fighting, someone had been spreading his roots across the region. These Attributed Region Slabs are a maze meant to trap you, but it's also there to act as a shield, for us, that is..."
"After all," He laughed as Brangara's face turned pale in response, "The Transcendent Eater
is a Mystic Grade Existence."
Thump! Thump! Thump!
T-Thump!
THUMP!
His heartbeats were extremely loud, creating shockwaves around his vicinity, signifying how
stressed he was at the moment as Brangara's head tilted upwards and observed plenty of Transcendent Worlds had gathered in the sky.
He couldn't sense the power accumulating in them, but seeing the sheer glow they emitted,
enough to brighten up the sky further even though it was still daytime, realisation struck him, 'It's not just me that could do this.'
Even for someone with his strength and means, it was impossible to simultaneously prepare
and guard against thousands of possibilities. That was exactly Brangara's situation now. He had prepared hundreds of plans against his enemies, but they paled against the millions
planned against him.
As he stared at the sky, pale with fear, carnivorous flowers sprouted across Kalahatra Desert, emitting a present displaying the intent to transcend. In response, according to the laws of Sumatra Continent, all the worlds created by the Transcendent Mystic Tentacles brimmed with power.
Sumatra's Transcendent Eater could only let out a forlorn sigh, as all the power it was
gathering by consuming the Sandy Grey Void as fuel was funnelled into these Transcendent
Worlds. Golden sparks gathered under them all and lit up the sky, overshadowing the sunlight to cast a golden glow across Sumatra Continent.
"As Virala expressed at the start, this place is your burial, Brangara." Boul Brimgan's voice
resounded in Brangara's voice as the latter's figure vanished, holing up along with the others
deep underground in an Attributed Water Cage prepared by Inala with walls that were more than a kilometre thick.
It was their underground bunker, and the Attributed Region Slabs had passageways leading
into the cage. They weren't mere slabs of Attributed Region water but Homing Satellites.
Hence, they could create passageways only for the allies and ensure nothing of the sort existed for Brangara.
As everyone huddled in safety, with the Royal Zinger's body taken to the ends of Boul
Brimgan's Spirit Weapon range, they watched in anticipation, transmitted information by the Homing Satellites through Tangible Piezo Slips.
"D-Dammit!" Brangara roared and flew towards the surface. Unfortunately, he had been too far up in the sky to avoid getting anywhere close to Barla. And now, even if he could descend at hypersonic speeds, it would take him dozens of seconds to reach the surface.
That was nothing but snail's pace when compared to the Bolts of Transcendence that
descended down, in the hundreds, as every carnivorous flower attracted a bolt each.
As an existence capable of devouring Sumatra Continent overnight, the number of Bolts of Transcendence needed by the Transcendent Eater to enter the Transcendence Stage was too large a number to count.
His vision was blinded as Brangara could only let out roars helplessly; golden bolts rained
across the Kalahatra Desert and destroyed everything with their destructive might. And
Brangara...
Was caught in the centre of the Cataclysm!
