Chapter 746: I Alone Am Absolute
Chapter 746: I Alone Am Absolute
Yarsha Zahara activated ten Natures of Twi Shocker, each of which had been elevated to at least the 5-Life Stage. She had to resort to this because the Gold Grade Nature of Piezo- Response originated from a Mutated Gold Grade Pranic Beast.
Therefore, its Nature couldn\'t be collected by Brangara. As a result, the Gold Grade Piezo Response and Reservoir were something Yarsha Zahara collected through her Primary Nature of Incident Nature Reflection and stored in her Minor Treasures of Lunchbox.
She had used up a majority of its power earlier and saved up the remainder for when she gained a window of opportunity. Until then, she planned to rely on the Silver Grade Natures of Piezo Response.
The shockwaves from the Empyrean Tusk trumpet slammed into her as her Human Avatar soaked them immediately, following which she transmitted them into Orakha through the point of contact in their arms.
"You\'ll die!" She roared, healing the internal damage she had sustained. A small portion of the shockwaves had impacted her, being at a level beyond what her ten Natures of Piezo Response could absorb. But everything she had absorbed was transferred into Orakha.
"Hahaha!" Orakha roared in response as his Human Avatar turned a shade of yellow, translucent in nature. The shockwaves coursed through his Human Avatar from each arm as they moved through his chest, avoiding each other like immiscible liquids.
The shockwave originating from his left arm flowed through the upper half of his chest and entered the right arm. Similarly, the shockwave originating from the right arm travelled through the lower half of his chest and entered the left arm.
And then, they rippled into Yarsha Zahara\'s arms, stunning her.
"You..." His expression became sharp as Orakha chuckled, "You have no idea what a conductor is, right?"
"What?" she muttered as her body trembled while Piezo Response absorbed all the shockwaves.
"A portion of it impacted you since your Piezo Response is at its limit already." Orakha muttered as more Empyrean Tusks leapt into the scene, assuming Empyrean Tusk forms to unleash stronger shockwaves, "And I\'m constantly circulating shockwaves through your Human Avatar at its limit. What do you think will happen if even more shockwaves are fed into the mix?"
"Dammit!" Yarsha Zahara lifted her leg and kicked Orakha, intending to send him flying away. However, he lifted his leg in response and countered her with a kick of his own, unwilling to let go of his hold over her arms.
The shockwaves slammed into them and circulated through the bodies of the two, constantly increasing in intensity as they went beyond the limits of Piezo Response, until they couldn\'t handle the load anymore.
Boom!
Brangara appeared behind Orakha and grabbed him by the shoulder and grunted, ripping apart his arms before kicking him away. At the same time, Yarsha Zahara used the last of her power of Reservoir to barely avoid death.
"You are one hell of a rat, Brangara." Orakha staggered back from the kick as he replaced his body, assuming a pristine state while his other body began to heal. He patted his chest and turned his Human Avatar gold, assuming the power of a Brimgan Royal. "You almost watched your wife die twice. As I suspected."
"You don\'t love her."
"You\'re too late in trying to sow discord between the both of us." Brangara snorted as he assumed Celestial Boar form and erected a rocky platform underneath him.
Astral World-Rocky Intimidation x12!
Followed by a golden flash, Yarsha Zahara landed on his right shoulder, gasping as she began to heal her injuries, noticing cracks covering her Human Avatar.
Kurralala!
Shockwaves from Empyrean Tusks slammed into the Celestial Boar, rattling its body when the quartet of Rhanalla, Nitalla, Wrunnala, and Meshlla in humanoid Pranic Beast forms approached close, swinging their bone hammers at him.
"Focus on absorbing their Natures alone," Brangara muttered as he opened his mouth slightly as Yarsha Zahara fled into the buccal cavity. Her Spirit Weapon punctured a hole through his teeth, using it as a peephole to observe the ongoing battle and a path through which the stream of Prana churning psychokinesis to her Spirit Weapon could pass through.
Her kite-shaped Spirit Weapon remained ready to absorb the product of Natures as Brangara leapt into the sky using Shredded Lunge. He escaped the blows as Prana surged through the horns littering his body.
Astral World-Comet x20!
His horns were refined as Comets, severing themselves from his body as they launched themselves into the four Empyrean Tusks, resulting in a series of thunderous bombardments.
Rhanalla\'s exoskeleton churned like a fluid as she gathered large amounts of it on the targeted spots. Fragments of her exoskeleton spilled out as the Comets struck with power, almost causing her to tumble.
She diverted the force throughout her body using Internal Inertial Gravity and steadied herself, churning all the boost in psychokinesis gained from her Secondary Nature of Kinesis Lantern Deity into her hammer as she leapt into the sky and targeted Brangara.
"The Second Empyrean Tusk," Brangara exclaimed as he grinned while facing Rhanalla. He extended his arm towards her and launched close to forty spikes as Comets while a hammer slammed into his shoulder and sent him ramming into the ground.
"Argh!" Rhanalla had just completed her swing when she felt a strange influence coursing through her body, slowing down her movements and gradually stunning her into inactivity. \'W-What is happening?\'
She tried to move, realising that she had become a lot slower than before. Moreover, as she extended her feet forward, her leg came to a halt midair, no longer budging an inch further.
Astral World-Statue x40!
The Nature of Statue originated from the Beginner Iron Grade Pranic Beast, Petrified Geese from the Varahan Enclave. It halted one\'s body functions to the maximum, turning them no different from a statue to the senses of others.
In the forty spikes that Brangara had unleashed, hiding within thirty-nine was a Tangible Nature of Petrified Geese, elevated to the 10-Life Stage. And finally, the last one was his
trump card.
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure-Statue!
Upon fusing with Rhanalla\'s body, the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Statue exerted its influence, rapidly stiffening her. Only one Tangible Nature could fuse with a body, irrespective of its Grade. That was a limitation.
However, that limitation didn\'t apply to an Empyrean Tusk, since it carried multiple biomes.
Every spike slammed into Rhanalla after a slight delay. When the first spike hit her and shattered, the Tangible Nature of Petrified Geese hiding within made contact with her exoskeleton and fused with her body.
It then materialised in her heart biome, right when a second spike slammed into her. One after another, the Tangible Natures of Petrified Geese fused with her body and manifested in her heart biome, grouping together.
The final one to fuse with her was the Minor Treasure Tangible Nature of Statue, which spread its influence throughout the body. Minor Treasures were capable of influencing living beings, which worked perfectly in this case.
This influence spread through the 39 Tangible Natures of Petrified Geese too and seeped their power in the sea of blood contained in the heart biome, affecting the Spirit Container, which was why Rhanalla\'s movements halted so quickly.
"Go!" Brangara spat with force as Yarsha Zahara landed on Rhanalla\'s stiffened face.
"Hello there!" She grinned and began to absorb Rhanalla\'s blood.
Astral World-Bloody Affection x12!
She didn\'t have the Natures, but she had absorbed a good portion of the power of Astral World
and Bloody Affection, allowing her to unleash the same effect even without Brangara being fused into her body.
Rhanalla\'s blood flowed into her mouth as her digestive system kicked into overdrive, causing her to moan at the sheer richness of the blood, "As expected of the second strongest Empyrean Tusk. This blood alone is on par with an Elixir!"
Her figure darted across Rhanalla\'s body as she evaded attacks from other Empyrean Tusks,
her eyes glinting as she brought out the Minor Treasure of Kinesis Feline, grinning, "Now that I have such a large reserve of Prana..."
Prana condensed in the mouth of the golden feline and exploded forth as a beam, slamming
into an Empyrean Tusk standing five kilometres away, having been targeting her with shockwaves all along.
The bone forming its exoskeleton churned to form a shield as the beam slammed into it and
began to puncture through it, the force behind it gradually pushing the Empyrean Tusk backward. Its massive body skid a dozen metres every second from the sheer force of the
beam, unable to handle it a couple of seconds later as the Empyrean Tusk assumed human form to jump to safety.
\'That consumed eight hundred units of my Mystic Grade Prana.\' Yarsha Zahara thought,
feeling a mild ache in her heart, \'But I can endure this expenditure without much stress.\'
"Good," She muttered and unleashed another beam into a farther Empyrean Tusk.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the meantime, the Celestial Boar left behind near the border had caught up to the group, its steps thundering. Air churned across its body with the power of Subtle Terrain Domination as it used Shredded Lunge to leap once and used the sheer defensive strength of its body to tank
hundreds of attacks.
Its horns transformed into Satellites to protect its body while a portion of them transformed
into Comets to rain down on the humanoid Empyrean Tusks.
Kaboom!
A massive rock pillar burst out of the ground, unleashing a powerful suppressive effect, only
to be dispersed a second later as an Empyrean Tusk shattered it and blew the fragments dozens of kilometres away.
A golden Mystic Eater approached it sneakily and accelerated into its chest when the Celestial
Boar assumed human form, grunting as he spat out blood. He immediately assumed Celestial Boar form and healed the damage, shooting a hundred ripples of Prana Shock to slow down
the golden Mystic Eater\'s approach.
"You\'re extremely annoying!" The Celestial Boar roared as it shot hundreds of Comets at
Orakha. It condensed a rock pillar and threw it in his direction like a javelin, watching Orakha expertly evade the attacks despite the suppressive force.
But a moment later, the Celestial Boar charged towards Rhanalla, alarming everyone.
"Stop him!" Orakha roared as he hurriedly tapped his chest and turned his Human Avatar bluish-white. Immediately in response, hundreds of lightning bolts slammed into him, following which he transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed at the Celestial Boar, only
to explode into bits an instant later.
Astral World-Kinesis Deity!
Astral World-Subtle Terrain Domination x8!
"I was prepared to use this only when the opportunity was perfect." The Celestial Boar
opened its mouth to chuckle in excitement, as the region in a radius of 1.8 kilometres around
it was now a part of its absolute territory.
The sheer solidification of the air acted as an unmovable barrier, which was what resulted in
Orakha\'s death. His momentum crushed him.
"You see, I came fully prepared for this fight." The Celestial Boar grinned while staring at the
figure of Yarsha Zahara standing proudly on the shoulder of Rhanalla, "My wife had to take a beating just so that I could have a full grasp of everyone\'s abilities."
"All of you have become extremely strong," He said as heavy air pressed down upon everyone
within a range of 1.8 kilometres from himself. This range doubled immediately as the second body stepped into the range and fused with the body, assuming a stack of two bodies.
The 2-Life Stage Celestial Boar stopped before Rhanalla and gently caressed the latter\'s face,
"Oh, how I wanted to swallow you."
"Since the day I laid my eyes upon you, my hunger remained unquenched." His lips curled
into a ravenous grin, all while ignoring the Spirit Weapons of the Empyrean Tusks that were
unable to reach him, "It\'s no use. I\'ve already verified this at the Dralh Sea against the Empyrean Snappers."
"When I use eight Natures of Subtle Terrain Domination, I become absolute." He slightly
applied force, shaving off the helmet covering Rhanalla, "A shame that I cannot experience that feeling through Internal Inertial Gravity once again. But no matter,"
He opened his mouth and chomped upon Rhanalla\'s head, biting off a large chunk as he
relished her expression of terror, "You shouldn\'t have resisted. Aren\'t you guys painfully aware by now that you cannot resist me?"
"So," He opened his mouth to grab another bite, eating through Rhanalla\'s head in a matter of seconds, "Just become my meal, alright?"
