<h4>Chapter 90 The Boar King arrives! </h4>


    An existence that had been alive for two millennia, braving through countless dangers to prove her existence as an apex entity, that was Gann.


    Having killed countless dangerous existences, including Gold Grade Pranic Beasts, the one that resulted in her copse was a single, tiny egg.


    The Zinger Queen required at least a century''s worth of Empyrean Tusk lifeforce to hatch sessfully. And depending on her potential, the quantity only increased.


    Gann was old but thanks to the Mammoth n taking ample care of her wellbeing, she would havested another century. Of course, that was only in terms of lifeforce. She would be incapable of supporting the Mammoth n in a year. That much was certain.


    If she wanted to live even after that, she could roam Sumatra alone and find a spot for her weary body to hibernate. No Empyrean Tusk ever got such an end, for they were killed before reaching such a state.


    Gann was no different. As all her lifeforce was stolen, she couldn''t even walk. Followed by a flicker, her Primary Nature shrunk, retreating towards her heart. The result of that was first felt in her legs which were no longer able to bear her body mass.


    Just its body mass alone equalled a mountain. But the resources stored in the vast spaces formed in her organs added to a few dozen mountains. Without Internal Inertial Gravity, that wasn''t a mass that any living creature could endure.


    In an instant, the legs that lost the Primary Nature''s effects turned into dust, tilting Gann to the side.


    [Move!]


    Gann shouted in a frequency audible only to Empyrean Tusks. The shout was directed to the 43rd Empyrean Tusk that jumped to the side, creating enough space for Gann to copse sideways.


    [Everyone! Run! He''ll be satisfied as long as he gets to kill me!]


    Boom!


    The ground ruptured upon the impact, unleashing a quake that travelled throughout Dieng Canyon, raising a dust cloud that reached dozens of kilometres into the sky.


    Cough! Cough!


    In grunted in pain as he instinctively observed the egg in his hand, relieved upon seeing the baby Empyrean Tusk remain safe. Thanks to the effects of Internal Inertial Gravity in the egg, she didn''t even feel the slightest disturbance.


    "In! Are you okay?" Asaeya''s shout resounded from behind him.


    In looked around, only seeing dust and smoke everywhere. He was stunned to notice he was hovering in the air for some reason. "I''m fine."


    At his shout, a bone hand approached him and held his clothes, tugging. Asaeya floated towards him and expressed her surprise, "What''s happening?"


    A shockwave billowed at this moment and pushed the dust cloud away, revealing an Empyrean Tusk snout. It then gently touched him as his Mystic Bone Art activated in reflex, prompting him to activate his Empyrean Slip Prime Skill.


    In floated in the void, able to see massive clusters of information. A tiny cluster hovered before him and seeped into him. As the information surged into his mind, In was able to understand what had happened.


    When they were about to fall, the 43rd Empyrean Tusk inhaled air and used that to delicately keep them afloat in the air. It had taken action thanks to Gann''s request. Moreover, Gannmunicated In''s n to the 43rd Empyrean Tusk.


    The memories told In that the 43rd Empyrean Tusk would take Gann''s ce to send him flying away.


    Immediately after that, In returned to reality and stared at a second snout nearby. That was Gann''s. And oozing out from it was a stream of essence—her Inheritance.


    [Henceforth, you''re Gann!]


    Gann announced to the herd as she transferred her everything to the newborn and breathed herst. Her trunk copsed to the ground and caused another rumble.


    In didn''t even have enough time to process things as he took action in a hurry. All the Prana Bombs stored in his Storage Lantern flew out as he consumed them all and created a giant Prana Bomb that enveloped him and Asaeya.


    In wasn''t sure where Instructor Mandu was. The 43rd Empyrean Tusk only saved him and Asaeya, leaving him with no other choice, ''I wanted to flee with arge group as it was safer. Dammit! Nothing goespletely as nned here!''


    The giant Prana Bomb finished forming as his two Prana Hands and Life Handstched onto its outer surface, merging into it.


    The 43rd Empyrean Tusk inhaled air as the giant Prana Bomb flew into the trunk. Suddenly, a dense amount of Prana surged into it, filling it with more than enough effect of Internal Inertial Gravity.


    The air waspressed to the limit as the 43rd Empyrean Tusk pointed the trunk at the sky, aiming in a certain direction before releasing thepressed air. Like a bullet, the giant Prana Bomb shot out at hypersonic speeds.


    Despite the intense speed, In didn''t even feel the slightest of jerks within, capable of seeing the herd once he turned the giant Prana Bomb translucent. Thanks to the 43rd Empyrean Tusk reinforcing the giant Prana Bomb''s exterior, it didn''t crack even while travelling at such speeds.


    "He''s here!" In muttered as the fear he was feeling reached its zenith. He stared in its respective direction, noticing a dot that made a beeline towards the herd. The mountains in its wake crumbled in response.


    After a moment of hesitation, In revealed a faint crack on the baby Empyrean Tusk''s egg, causing a faint cry to leak out. Immediately in response, the dot curved its path and turned his way. The mountain beneath it turned to dust as the dot jumped into the sky, travelling a notch faster than the giant Prana Bomb.


    The dot gradually increased in size, revealing a humanoid individual that unleashed a ravenous roar. His body ballooned in size to be a massive boar that approached him even faster.


    Mystic Grade Pranic Beast—Empyrean Boar King!


    "Fuck!" In closed the crack on the baby Empyrean Tusk''s egg as his heart palpitated upon seeing the Boar King up close. He burned up his Prana to barely reinforce his body through his Primary Nature. Only then could he endure the sheer pressure exuded by the Boar King.


    His n was simple. Using the baby Empyrean Tusk''s cries, he would lure the Boar King while flying away. Thereby, he would prevent the Boar King from finding the Empyrean Tusk herd. Of course, he wasn''t a martyr. He intended to flee sessfully.


    "Don''t faint!" He shouted at Asaeya, using pain to keep her awake. "At my signal, use the Grim Knell''s power on his eyes!"


    "O-Okay!" Asaeya trembled in fright, using pain to stay sane as the Boar King approached closer and closer.


    When there was less than ten kilometres between the two, In shouted, "Now!"


    Primary Nature—Linked Rupture!


    Asaeya lost sight in her eyes, linking it to the Boar King who also became blind…for an instant.


    At that moment, the two Prana Hands and Life Hands attached to the giant Prana Bomb''s outer surface morphed in shape, transforming into curved wings—tiny in size, shaped like shark fins—as they caused the giant Prana Bomb to spin in response, assuming a helical pattern. At hypersonic speeds, even a small change in shape would result inpletely different motion paths.


    The abrupt change caused the Boar King to miss as he moved straight while the giant Prana Bomb swerved in its helical pattern and brushed past him. Due to his superior speed, he moved past them.


    In faintly changed the lengths of the four tiny wings, causing the giant Prana Bomb to curve faintly and move in another direction. There was an angle of thirty degrees between the path taken by the giant Prana Bomb and the Boar King.


    For an instant, the Boar King lost his sight. And when he regained them, the Prana Bomb was no longer before him. He stared to his side, watching his target going farther and farther away in another direction.


    As he couldn''t fly, it would take him a while before he reached the ground. Even if he were to leap that, his target would have vanished by then. After all, both were travelling at hypersonic speeds, ''Using my speed against me, that''s a first.''


    Reverting to his human form, the Boar King gentlynded on a mountain, impressed, "The baby Empyrean Tusk''s cries were revealed only for an instant to lure me this way. And the moment I missed my target, her cries have been masked."


    "Moreover, there was someone with the power of a Grim Knell within that Prana Bomb. That''s a solid scheme to escape from my sights." Muttering as such, he stretched his limbs and turned around, "Anyway, I finally found the herd."


    He kicked the mountain, crushing it into dust as his figure flew out, making a beeline towards the Empyrean Tusk herd, "I''ll annihte them this time."
