Exploring Sumatra Continent was his lifelong dream. And the farther he was forced to stray from this path, the greater it became his obsession. Originally, the Zinger build was perfect for his dream.
With enough planning, schemes, and appropriate execution, Inala was confident in killing the Empyrean Boar King during the Fourth Major Disaster. That was the intended outcome. However, with seven cooks stirring the plot, things were messed up beyond control.
Some of the faults lay with him too, and Inala was aware of them. However, the situation forced his hand to make such a choice. Otherwise, he wouldn't have managed to survive or grow to his endgame build.
The myriad changes resulted in the birth of the Celestial Boar during the Second Major Disaster. That threw all of Inala's dreams out the window. And as he worked hard to catch up, the Celestial Boar explored more and more of its limitless potential, eventually unlocking the State of Unity.
Moreover, things turned to shit the moment the Celestial Boar was born. The pillar of light it released had gained the attention of multiple Continents and even Cosmic Beings.
As Inala tried to waddle his way through the complexities, his Zinger build became tied together with the Quip Clan, becoming a target for the enemies that would be invading the Sumatra Continent shortly.
Moreover, just by being their Deity, Inala was subconsciously forced to protect the Quip Clan. Therefore, even if he tried to break free from the mould, as long as he was related to the Quip Clan, he would be pulled into their influence.
Inala wanted to be a monk, detach himself from all the nonsense, and simply explore Sumatra. There was just way too much the Continent had to offer that he had yet to witness. Towards that, he had to create a brand-new build that was completely related to the Zinger build.
A build that allowed him to experience Sumatra that was neither too strong nor too weak. It ought to be balanced and should be geared in the direction of exploration as much as possible. That was his initial thought upon seeing Grehha create his Mammoth Clan self.
However, the Brimgan Founder's memories influenced him faintly and mildly skewed his objectives. That changed the Panic Beast egg he wanted to fuse with. At first, he wanted to find a Death Knell.
With due time, Grehha could mutate it into a Grim Knell. If they couldn't find a Death Knell, then a Millinger was perfect. In the end, Inala was mildly influenced to seek a build perfect for exploration while also having potential for experimentation, research, and development. With that, he finalised his choice.
Beginner Gold Grade Pranic Beast-Brully!
With a Prana capacity of 4188 and a Lifespan of 1100 years, it was a Gold Grade Pranic Beast with decent fighting power, enough for it to break out of a situation and flee a dangerous region. However, it wasn't on the level of a Deity-Empyrean Tusk and Snapper-that most regions wouldn't even be of any danger to it.
It became the perfect choice thanks to the Brimgan Founder's influence. After all, the Brimgan Founder lived in an era that suffered the Brully Invasion.
In recent history, there were three recorded Invasions-Brully Invasion, Death Knell Invasion, and Mudropper Invasion.
The Brimgan Empire was founded during the Brully Invasion. The Brimgan Ancestor appeared in the Death Knell Invasion. And the Mammoth and Cooter Clans emerged during the Mudropper Invasion.
After withstanding three Invasions, this corner of Sumatra had grown tremendously in terms of power. With the arrangements of Renduldu, the actions of the Mystic Seven resulted in a growth spike that caused the creatures in this area to far outclass the rest of the Continent.
The start of them all was the Brully Invasion. If anyone understood them the best, it would be the predecessors of the four Major Treasures recorded in Sumatra Chronicles.
By stimulating the egg with the Brully according to the information Inala had given, Grehha managed to mutate it into the most fearsome existence that rampaged the lands during the Brully Invasion.
Intermediate Gold Grade Pranic Beast-Bhirully!
The Brully reached a height of 80 metres while a Bhirully spanned 120 metres. Before existences like the Empyrean Tusks appeared, it was one of the bigger Pranic Beasts roaming the lands. With a Prana capacity of 6000 and a lifespan of 1300 years, the Bhirully was a
menace.
Primary Nature-Cyclic Recovery!
Secondary Nature-Adrenaline Rush!
Cyclic Recovery was a passive Nature that resulted in three sets of internal organs for the Brully and Bhirully, allowing them to be perpetually active until the end of their lives. While one set of organs worked fully, the second set worked at fifty percent while the third set was in a complete state of rest.
This would cycle through the three sets, allowing the Brully and Bhirully to move nonstop without issues.
The Bhirully's Secondary Nature of Adrenaline Rush caused a fierce circulation of Prana across its body while it could exhibit physical might beyond its capability. While its body was damaged by the overexertion, the faster Prana circulation healed it and allowed it to engage
in high-octane battles.
As the fusion concluded, Inala broke into a smile upon entering the Body Stage and seeing his two Natures, 'I have gained the power of a Bhirully now.'
This was merely the beginning of his preparations before he could begin his exploration of Sumatra. Without any hesitation, Inala grabbed the Biome Bomb containing the Major Treasure of Weapon.
To prevent its pillar of light from leaking out, the walls of the Biome Bomb were made using Attributed Water. The Biome Bomb had no intention to follow its will since he wasn't the
Royal Zinger.
But according to the commands and left behind by the Royal Zinger, it accepted the
commands of the Mammoth Clansman Inala and reverted to its original size, opening the entrance to its inside. A string of Prana wrapped around Inala and yanked him to its centre, allowing him to make contact with the Major Treasure of Weapon.
As he had a Gold Grade build, Inala was able to fuse with the Major Treasure. Upon exiting the
Biome Bomb, he thought and activated it, watching a clump of Prana gather before him. 'The moment it touches a mineral, it'll become a Spirit Weapon using the respective mineral.'
Inala didn't make it touch any mineral and instead caused it to slowly seep into his chest, taking his sweet time until the clump of Prana reached his heart, 'This is why I spent a year strengthening my Spirit Container to its limit.'
In the vast clusters of data gathered by the Brimgan Founder, there was information regarding Kanka, the Free Human who became the Major Treasure of Weapon. The mineral he used to build his Human Avatar was sourced from a Brully.
Biologically, a Brully had three hearts that behaved like a robust engine in its chest. And as Spirit Containers resided within the hearts, a Brully had three Spirit Containers. It might seem amazing, but this was a product of its Primary Nature.
And as the effects of Cyclic Recovery dictated, only one set of organs was active at a time, which meant the Prana circulating through the bloodstream was managed by one Spirit
Container.
The Brully had a max Prana capacity of 4188 units. With three Spirit Containers, its total Prana capacity was 12,564 units. Back in the day, this was exemplary. But in the realm of the current Sumatra, this wasn't anything special.
An Empyrean Tusk had over a dozen biomes that generated a volume of Prana every second that was almost on par with its Prana capacity of 8398. Similarly, Empyrean Snappers stored vast reserves of Prana in their Spirit Pools that dwarfed their Prana capacity of 8400.
Even among Gold Grade Pranic Beast, this Prana capacity wasn't anything special, not to mention the Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts like the Royal Zinger who could carry a large number of orbs with it or the Celestial Boar with an infinite reserve of Prana.
In terms of Prana reserves, it wasn't anything special. But having three hearts operating in Cyclic Recovery turned the Spirit Containers special, making them have traces of the characteristics of a Human Avatar.
A Brully's Spirit Container was a mineral!
It was a Gold Grade mineral called Billakin, which was what Kanka used to forge his human
Avatar. The result was an ability that allowed him forge Spirit Weapons out of minerals. It was
tough to forge minerals into Spirit Weapons, as the characteristics of the mineral must be understood first.
Majority of the minerals could only be used in a certain form, which would naturally appear if
a suitable cultivation technique was used to forge a Human Avatar and create the Spirit
Weapon.
Primary Nature-Spirit Smith!
Thereby, only with the relevant understanding could Kanka forge a Spirit Weapon, which
meant that by the point he reached that, he already had created a cultivation technique capable of harnessing the respective mineral.
This ability resulted in the Major Treasure of Weapon. In essence, the source of this power is a
Brully's Spirit Container.
Biologically too, the hands of a Brully were shaped as a weapon, exhibiting similar characteristics. Though based on the Brimgan Founder's memories, barely one or two Brully managed to reach such a point where it could turn its hands into a Spirit Weapon.
Kanka spent his life hunting as many Brully as he could and used their Spirit Containers to
forge his Human Avatar until he reached the 10-Life Stage. The sheer amount he required was insane, and if not for him, the Brully Invasion wouldn't have ended.
His single-handed obsession fuelled by hatred resulted in the Major Treasure of Weapon.
That was why the Influenced Region of Armoury killed every living being in the Kalahatra Desert, which once used to be the base of operations for the race of Brully.
"Phew!" As Inala sorted through all the memories planted in his mind space, he watched the
clump of Prana make contact with his Spirit Container and use it as a reference to become a
Spirit Weapon.
The Spirit Weapon was in the shape of a hammer and had the power of the mineral, Billakin. Through it, Inala could unleash the Nature of Spirit Smith, Kanka's power.
'This is merely the start,' He thought and absorbed Prana supplied by the orb. Upon recovery,
he meditated and focused on the Spirit Weapon, following which he used a cultivation technique, causing his Spirit Container to crack as he fell to the Spirit Stage.
"Why are you using that?" Grehha asked in shock, "That's Mystic Sumatra Art!"
"Precisely!" Inala swallowed a mouthful of Nectar and used Mystic Sumatra Art until his
Prana reserve fell to one unit. Following that, he used Mystic Bone Art and gradually built his strength to 100 units and entered the Body Stage.
"Just watch, Grehha. You'll be surprised," Inala grinned and activated Mystic Sumatra Art a second time and regressed to the Spirit Stage.
