"Kieeee!" The Royal Zinger let out a shriek as its eight Attributed Water Hands had fully been forced on the defensive, unable to attack anymore.
"Go on, shout more!" The Celestial Boar roared as each of its punches unleashed a pillar of light at the Royal Zinger. Surrounding it were over two hundred Unlimited Predator Spears and forty Unlimited Predator Shields. They were all moving around autonomously, as they were Satellites.
[Sleep!]
The soundwaves slammed into the Celestial Boar and caused it to lose focus for a moment. In response, the Astral World generated new brain cells while unlimited Predator digested the old ones. The body parts influenced by the Royal Zinger were consumed while new ones took their place.
This was the fastest way it could face the Royal Zinger's abilities without being pressured.
Boom!
An Attributed Water projectile slammed into a series of Unlimited Predator shields and exploded, resulting in a sea of water spilling out once the projectile lost Attribute's influence within it.
Unlimited Predator-Counterbalance!
The targeted shields gained a boost in power, allowing them to tank the Attributed Water projectile with minimal destruction. Only two shields were damaged by an attack, which could be quickly recovered.
The Royal Zinger threw Attributed Water projectiles nonstop while its eight Attributed Water Hands faced the Unlimited Predator Spears. But despite everything, the Celestial Boar was quickly adapting to the attacks.
It was able to react faster and counter the Attributed Water better and better. And whenever necessary, the Celestial Boar switched places with the human form of the Major Treasure of Subtle Terrain Domination.
By fusing into the Empyrean Snapper Major Treasure's body, the power of the absolute domain spiked to whole other levels, making it easy to defend against even Attributed Water projectiles.
Subtle Terrain Domination would shave off most of its contents, enough that the remaining shields could tank the damage without being destroyed in the process. And the moment it seemed like an attack would touch it, the Celestial Boar revealed itself while the Empyrean Snapper Major Treasure instantly returned to the Astral World.
'The more we fight, the better he's able to switch between his Tangible Natures and wield their powers.' The thought popped into the Royal Zinger's mind as its eye melted off, dripping like a sludge.
It couldn't even use Perfect Biome Domination to recover the sludge, since it was already being used against Subtle Terrain Domination. The Royal Zinger was already using its abilities at maximum power.
'The longer this goes, the stronger he becomes.' The Royal Zinger thought as more of its body began to melt. 'Unlimited Predator has won this overall exchange.'
In a matter of minutes, the Royal Zinger's would be consumed beyond the recovery limit. If that were to happen, the winner would obviously be the Celestial Boar, 'Consuming my body can allow him to destroy the damaged Astral Worlds and build new bodies.'
"What's your purpose in life, Brangara?" The Royal Zinger asked all of a sudden, "Why do you fight?"
"Does it matter?" The Celestial Boar snorted and unleashed a couple more pillars of light at its enemy, "Once I kill you, I can finally become free."
"And what will you do with that freedom?" The Royal Zinger chuckled, "You killed your kids and direct descendants. I killed your wife. Currently, you're being propelled by hatred. But what about after this?"
"Do you have anything to look forward to in life?" The Royal Zinger mocked, "Nothing, Brangara. You'll have nothing. So, what are you even fighting for?"
"Barla can be revived by Blola." The Celestial Boar didn't lose its cool, stating calmly, "Once this is over, I'll take my time begging for her forgiveness. As Mystic Grade existence, we will be living for long."
"You might, she won't." The Royal Zinger shrugged, "Did you forget that you slammed your Unlimited Predator on Barla quite a few times? Even if she gets revived, she'll die shortly after. And after a while, her soul too would be destroyed, following which even Blola cannot revive her."
"You truly are alone, as you should." The Royal Zinger uttered, its expression of mockery becoming more pronounced, "Did you forget that too? Barla was hit by Unlimited Predator! She's dead, DEAD!"
"Shut Up!" The Celestial Boar roared as it began to close in on the Royal Zinger, "That's enough shit out of your mouth."
The pillar of light emanating from its body grew stronger and layered its hands, using which it grabbed two Attributed Water Hands and splattered them, causing the region to be flooded by water. "Enough is enough, Inala."
"I'm already on guard against all of your techniques." The Celestial Boar said as an Unlimited Predator Sword appeared in its hand, gripped tight, ready to hack its target. Raising it into the sky, it brought it hurling upon the Royal Zinger's head, intending to cleave it into two. "They won't work on me anymore."
"I wasn't counting on them to work more than one either." As the sword descended, the Royal Zinger cackled as its remaining six Attributed Water Arms and the serpentine body exploded, releasing all the densely packed water.
A droplet of water forming the Attributed Region was obtained from compressing as much water as necessary to fill a mountain. Now, this sheer volume of water was released as the Royal Zinger's State of Unity disappeared.
The water slammed into the Unlimited Predator dome and exerted pressure, enough to cause cracks to form, "Argh!"
The Celestial Boar howled in pain before dissipating the Unlimited Predator dome. It simply covered its body and was swept away by the water pressure. Of course, thanks to Astral World's weight, it was only pushed back by a few hundred metres.
'Where is that bastard?' By the time the Celestial Boar could regain its balance, the Royal Zinger had vanished, 'Did he run away? No, he doesn't have that choice.'
"Come out, Inala!" The Celestial Boar roared as its absolute domain took charge of the space
in its Spirit Weapon range. The Unlimited Predator Spears entered the water and moved around, poking at everything in an effort to find the Royal zinger and destroy it.
A tsunami of water gushed across the Kalahatra Desert, expanding from the battle region as the centre. Thunderous rumble reverberated across the waves as a layer of water 400 metres thick began to cover the ivory sands of the Kalahatra Desert.
"Where are you, Inala?" The Celestial Boar roared in the centre, unable to detect the Royal Zinger irrespective of what it did, 'Did that bastard's body crumble into water? There's a possibility, since the power he was unleashing was beyond what he could control anyway.'
As the Celestial Boar continued to search, it stopped upon seeing a faint glow from one of the murky water sections. The water had somewhat stabilised now, reaching half the Celestial Boar's height.
The water casually propelled its body forward as the Celestial Boar began to approach the
glow, noticing a human figure of Inala floating right under the surface, his body trembling nonstop. The Celestial Boar observed for a moment before fusing into the body of a Tangible Nature of Zinger it took out of Gracious Inheritor. And then, it could hear it in full glory, Inala's terrified screams resulting from unbearable pain, 'Shit!'
The Celestial Boar's heartrate accelerated in nervousness as an unfathomable level of power began to condense within Inala's Transcendent Body, 'Even after his body had become so strong, he's still feeling so much pain.'
'Just to what extent is this bastard planning to push through?' The Celestial Boar blasted forth
a series of pillars of light at Inala, intending to kill the latter before whatever he had planned
next was unleashed.
A vast volume of sludge spilt out as Inala's body was indeed rapidly getting digested. However, in a matter of seconds, the region darkened. The thunderous rumble produced by every emission of his pillar of light was getting dampened sharply and soon, there were no
sounds.
'This phenomenon...!' The Celestial Boar's Prana detection means panicked as without any hesitation, it reverted to human form, kicked the water upon turning his body as light as possible, and launched himself farther into the sky.
A jet-black hand of darkness popped out of the water all of a sudden and reached out for him, "Shit! That's his third step?"
He launched a Tangible Nature of Subtle Terrain Domination and made the latter assume its Pranic Beast form. The Empyrean Snapper Tangible Nature acted like a barrier as the jet-black hand slammed into it and began to rapidly turn it into grey sand.
Before it was fully turned into grey sand, the region turned absolutely dark, resembling the Sandy-Grey Void where no light or sound could exist.
State of Unity-Four Steps To Nullity!
Step Three-Sand!
Pet hurriedly raced out of the Kalahatra Desert and leapt with all its might, using Spirit Bone
to construct a bridge across the ivory sand to scale upon. The bridge began to collapse immediately upon creation, crumbling into grey sand as Pet blasted off bone mist from every vent across its body.
The bone mist rapidly turned into grey sand as Pet used it for cover and slid onto the wall. It
hurriedly dusted itself and turned around, watching a curtain of night extend right from the inner surface of the wall and stretch endlessly across the Kalahatra Desert, "The entirety of Kalahatra Desert has been turned into the Sandy-Grey Void."
Pet took out a Bone Viper and casually threw it, flinching in shock upon seeing the Bone Viper
collapse into grey sand the moment it touched the curtain of night, "Sheesh! This is significantly more potent than the Sandy-Grey Void bordering Sumatra."
"You've become an absurd existence, Inala." Pet sighed and uttered solemnly, "I can't even
begin to grasp the level of power you wield now."
In the darkness of the Kalahatra Desert, there were times when the curtain of night was
disrupted by a stellar pillar of light.
State of Unity-Unlimited Predator!
Brangara blasted off pillars of light across the place, growling in terror, 'Where the fuck is
he?'
'What is he up to now?' He couldn't figure out what to do, as, after the first attempt, no
attacks had been launched at him. 'Then, I should at least exit the place first, plan, and
return.'
He kicked the air and ran through the sky, only to find himself never leaving the darkness, 'Is
The disorienting my senses?'
'No!' Brangara checked the Unlimited Predator armour covering his body. It was what allowed
him to be safe in such a potent Sandy-Grey Void. Since it was undamaged, it meant Inala's Tangible Piezo Slips weren't influencing his mind, 'My Minor Treasures of Prana Shock are already maintaining the technique to guard against his sound and Prana-based abilities. With Unlimited Predator, I can prevent a good chunk of my Prana from being stolen. There's no issue with my lifespan getting stolen, since it's endless for the current me.'
He kicked the ground and continued to move, stopping eventually, alarmed by the absolute silence, 'Was his plan to trap me here forever?'
A pillar of light burst out of him and expanded like a hollow cylinder, for a moment illuminating his position. As the cylinder expanded horizontally, Brangara used Prana Shock
alongside Shredded Lunge to move, noticing that the majority of the thrust he produced was consumed by the Sandy-Grey Void.
Unlike before when it allowed him to move hundreds of meters with every activation, most of the power was being consumed by the region now. Moreover, a powerful wind moved against him every time he activated it, giving him the illusion that he was travelling hundreds of metres, just like before.
When in reality, he had barely covered a couple of metres, 'At this pace, it would take me centuries to leave the Kalahatra Desert!'
"Is this your plan, Inala?" Brangara bellowed futilely, since his voice was dampened and
drowned out by the time it left his mouth. "Is your sacrifice meant to trap me in this godforsaken place until I go insane?"
[Not really! I'm buying time to unleash my fourth step. Try to leave this place before that, Brangara. If you can, that is. Otherwise, it's your death sentence!]
Once he unleashed another pillar of light, a string of darkness formed on it to form this set of
words, stressing Brangara, 'Dammit! His third step doesn't have the brute power necessary to kill me. So instead, he's using it to accumulate power through the grey sand and enter the
final
step!'
"Fine! You think I don't have the means to guard against this shit?" Brangara snorted as the darkness around him dimmed down. A large sum of grey sand gathered before him and began to condense, turning into spheres.
Brangara fused with the body of the Major Treasure Empyrean Snapper, using the boosted absolute domain to control the Sandy-Grey Void in his Spirit Weapon range. He then began to make Satellites out of it, "I too can amass an arsenal of weapons!"
The more he used his absolute domain, the weaker the darkness around him became, allowing
him to begin moving around once again. This time, he had a destination in mind, 'The Infinite Divine Solider should still be here! I can use that to my advantage!'
