Chapter 522 Choose, Brangara! Choose!
Bolt of Transcendence!
He looked like he was about to reach the Transcendence Stage, summoning a Bolt of Transcendence upon him. Since he had already reached the peak of the Pranic Beast Path, once he had reached maturity, he could choose to become a Transcendent any time he wanted.
Once he exhausted his growth potential, the Bolt of Transcendence would naturally approach him. But the fact that he was at the Mystic Grade as a Pranic Beast meant he had the option. Of course, he didn\'t truly call it, for doing so would mean an influx of Bolt of Transcendence until he either became a Transcendent or died trying.
His fake summons brought forth a Bolt of Transcendence that bombarded his body. The sheer energy destroyed whatever effect the mysterious eye had unleashed upon him, freeing up his body. Of course, the eye didn\'t wish to lose its target and locked onto him once again.
"Again!" The Boar King roared as the residue of the first Bolt of Transcendence flowed through his body and settled in his stomach biome. A vast surge of information flooded his mind, something he could only take time to comprehend later.
He didn\'t have the leeway to do so now as he summoned forth a second bolt, having more experience this time as he moved in such a way that the bolt targeted the eye before reaching him, "Keuk!"
The mysterious eye tanked most of the damage from the Bolt of Transcendence, becoming wounded in response as it suddenly revealed an injury, one that seemed to have been formed by the piercing of a tusk.
This was the injury inflicted upon it by Mahira Tusk to save Resha. The mysterious eye hadn\'t finished healing it yet and the Bolt of Transcendence caused it to surface once again.
Upon noticing the eye, the Boar King opened his mouth and unleashed a suction force, sucking out some of the eye\'s blood by taking advantage of the instance he was freed from its grasp. The residue of the second Bolt of Transcendence flowed into his body and fused with the blood he had stolen from the eye.
"How dare you target me?" The Boar King roared as he summoned the third Bolt of Transcendence, watching the eye shimmer with a strange energy. \'Shit! It\'s preparing something stronger!\'
The third Bolt of Transcendence slammed into the eye and freed the Boar King for an instant when he split his body, leaving behind the body that was getting erased.
His 2-Life Stage body rapidly slammed into the ground and rushed towards Varahan Mansion while the remaining body summoned two more Bolts of Transcendence and was erased by the eye.
The mysterious eye was covered in soot now, extremely weakened by five Bolts of Transcendence, unable to hide its existence anymore as it revealed itself to the entirety of Sumatra. Anyone who remained in the region could now stare up and see it, an existence undetectable to everyone not getting erased until now.
It stared at the Boar King weakly, lacking the strength to erase him anymore as it slowly flew higher into the sky until it was too far away to be seen anymore. It was capable of travelling at speeds surpassing the Boar King, so it was impossible to be targeted by any ambitious entities.
\'I see, so that\'s what it is.\' From Compartment 6-K, Inala felt the eye\'s presence when it was unable to conceal itself anymore. As he had a few encounters with it until now, he was able to detect its arrival.
Since he was preparing to summon a Bolt of Transcendence all along, he could vividly feel its presence too. And when it attacked the mysterious eye, Inala connected the information he had gathered regarding it and looked around, observing the walls of water to conclude, \'That eye is an Influenced Region. The Major Treasure that created it must have revealed itself many eras ago. It was probably claimed by a Mystic Empyrean Tentacle. That\'s why nothing about it is known.\'
The entirety of Sumatra Chronicles occurred in a small portion of the Sumatra Continent. Hence, there was no way of knowing which Major Treasure appeared where, especially if it had happened long ago in the past.
But upon understanding that the eye failed to erase the Boar King, Inala judged that it ran out of power. He could sense the Boar King\'s position through his Secondary Nature. And since he felt the eye at the same spot, he could guess what might have transpired.
The fact that he could feel that the Boar King\'s strength only dropped a little was enough information, \'The eye barely managed to erase one body of his. Seems he used the Bolts of Transcendence to wound it and escape it. I see, so that is an option to escape from it. I understand it now.\'
He brought out a Mutated Empyrean Zinger and caused it to unleash a thrust continuously, smiling upon seeing that it wasn\'t erased, "Now, that\'s good news."
\'It seems the eye won\'t be appearing for the time being.\' He grinned and transformed into an Empyrean Zinger, asking everyone else to board his back, \'I don\'t need to hold back anymore.\'
"Grab them firmly," Inala said and used the Minor Treasure of Tangible Psychokinesis to form a harness for the group to grab onto and not fall off. With a flap of his wings, he unleashed a thrust through his nostrils, taking flight.
A second of stabilisation later, he was no different from an aircraft. In a matter of seconds, the Empyrean Tusks were filled in on the entire situation through a Bone Slip from Inala. And then, they took charge of unleashing the thrust, watching Inala fly across the place at tremendous speeds, allowing them to target the Attributed Creatures from high up.
They simply dropped heavy artillery from overhead over the Attributed Creatures, giving it an aerodynamic spin and some acceleration along the way using a thrust. And then?
Boom!
The upper bodies of the Attributed Creatures exploded upon the impact. With a swish of his Empyrean Zinger form, Inala approached it close as Asaeya fished out the key.
The moment flying was allowed, Inala\'s strength exploded to terrifying levels. After all, as the time-tested saying on Earth went, \'The one that dominates the Sky, dominates everything!\'
\'Then in the future, as long as I manage to put the eye out of commission, I can rule the skies! No matter how strong the Boar King becomes, I\'ll target him from dozens of kilometres up in the air, way beyond his reach.\' He became excited, feeling his mind begin to formulate plans already, \'I can take advantage of this!\'
Inala wasn\'t the only one who managed to guess the eye\'s identity. The other individual was Resha, having been turning his biomes into an Influenced Region himself and had a prior encounter with the eye.
\'So that is an Influenced Region. It\'s not an all-powerful Transcendent.\' Resha sighed in response, \'No wonder it only managed to destroy one body of the Boar King.\'
The Attributed Region was no longer a threat to the Boar King once he reached the 5-Life Stage. Both Sanctuary and Armoury were of the same level. Even Transcended Plane, the Influenced Region of the Seat of Transcendence could only be a threat to an 8-Life Stage Boar King.
At the 10-Life Stage, the Boar King was capable of killing Iron Transcendents and weaker Silver Transcendents. He could go toe to toe with stronger Silver Transcendents.
An Influenced Region was only as strong as the body of an Iron Transcendent. And depending on the power of the Major Treasure that built it, the danger of the Influenced Region varied.
The eye was on par with the Attributed Region but had been severely wounded by Mahira Tusk to save Resha. Hence, it was already significantly weakened.
It took tens of thousands of years for an Attributed Region to finish forming. Therefore, the same applied to its recovery too, especially after being wounded by a Gold Transcendent—Mahira Tusk.
\'Well, it still managed to destroy a body. So, that\'s good too.\' Resha thought and quickly gathered his bearings. With a tug of his gravity, the Boar King\'s four children flew into his grasp, "Make a choice, Brangara!"
Right as he shouted, the solidified lava cage containing Yarsha Zahara flew towards the Raid Team. Since the Boar King arrived in advance, they had no other choice but to go all out and try to kill him. Moreover, to aid the kill, Resha engraved a message on the cage, directed at the leader of the Raid Team, Fstoll Brimgan.
[The Boar King\'s at the 2-Life Stage. As long as you attempt to kill her, he\'ll try his best to protect her. Use that to your advantage and try your best to split his bodies. It\'s our victory when that happens.]
Resha\'s figure flickered as he brought the four Wean Tribesmen and stood right before the entrance to the Attributed Region. The Raid Team distanced themselves from the Varahan Mansion and ran towards the dried Northern Lakes, in tow with Yarsha Zahara.
"Choose!" Resha roared upon seeing Brangara arrive a couple of kilometres away, "Your Wife?"
"Or…" He rushed into the entrance with the four Wean Tribesmen, "Your Children?"
"Choose!"
