Chapter 249 It’s Decided


    While Orakha had a mental breakdown, Gann finished reading through all his memories. She then walked away and climbed onto In''s back, getting a piggyback ride.


    By the time Orakha realised what was up, it was toote, "You…fooled me!"


    "Nope," In shook his head, "I just used the truth to my convenience. Everything in that bone slip is the truth, you know."


    "Since this is for me, let me collect it," In said and scooped out all the tusk bone powder from the two floors of Orakha''s Storage Lantern. Gann had already confirmed that the tusk bone powder hadn''t been tampered with. So, it was safe to be used for constructing his body.


    ''Good, now there''s enough for both me and Asaeya.'' He thought and stared at Orakha, "Do you feel disgusted to be schemed against?"


    "Well, that''s what I felt too when you made a move on Asaeya, even if your intentions weren''t to harm her." In said and extended his hand towards Orakha, "The two of us haven''t talked before. So, let''s patch up for now, shall we?"


    "Fine, you won." Orakha wiped his tears and got up, groaning as he stretched his aching body, "Now it''s clear that I''m not good at schemes whenpared to pieces of shit like you and Vir."


    "Bro, don''t go there." In waved his hands, "I''m a saintpared to Vir. That one is a messed-up fucker."


    ''You''re no different.'' Orakha didn''t voice his thoughts. His attention fell on Sumara Canon and felt his Mystic Eater stirring up in response, ''There''s an unrivalled mineral present in that object. No, there''s some of it in three objects.''


    "Anyway, my task here is done." Orakha turned around and intended to leave, "I''m not going to help you in finding Asaeya. Have fun locating her in the Guna Caves. If you take more than a month, you''ll miss the chance to quickly reach the Mammoth n. They''ll resume their journey after gathering some Centinger eggs."


    "Do you truly need the Attribute that badly?" In let out a long breath and got to the point, "You want it?"


    "Isn''t that obvious?" Orakhaughed, "My strength will be elevated to a whole other level once Ie in possession of the Attribute."


    "Alright, have fun being a loser." In shed his middle finger towards Orakha, "The Attribute''s mine anyway."


    "Don''t act like your name''s written on it." Orakha snorted.


    "Personal property of Sir In," In said, "This sentence is clearly carved on it. You''ll know when you get there."


    After the two exchanged verbal bullshit in the name of abusing each other, Orakha ran away. In remained standing in his ce as once Orakha was out of sight, he emitted Prana radially to scour through his surroundings. Even after ensuring there were no Mystic Eaters hiding underground to spy on his conversation, hemunicated with Gann through a Bone Slip.


    [Has he been epted as part of your immune system?]


    [Yes, Dad. And as I surfed through his thoughts, I found out that he truly wasn''t nning on harming us. He only wanted to ensure you wasted your time, but not at the cost of sacrificing your strength. Which is why he brought in the tusk bone powder necessary for you to build your strength.]


    ''So basically, he''s conflicted.'' In now understood the full picture. Orakha had exceptional street smarts and was the quickest among the reincarnates to react and adapt to a situation.


    Currently, his mindset was to win the race but not at the cost ofpromising the growth of the other reincarnates, for his end goal was for everyone to join hands and kill the Boar King. It was why his actions were so tame inparison to the extent of power he possessed.


    ''Had Vir been in his ce, he would have killed both Asaeya and Gann to fuel his growth and shatter my mental state.'' In thought,ing to the conclusion that if the situation ever bes dire, he could seek Orakha''s help.


    Orakha was closer to Grehha in terms of disposition—constructively greedy.


    [Dad, Orakha wasn''t lying about anything. We can rejoin with the herd if we were to set sail on the Red-Draft River now. What do you n to do?]


    [We''ll find Asaeya first. But if we were to return to the Mammoth n now, your growth would be halted. They''ll pressure you to transform into an Empyrean tusk. We can''t have that.]


    Soon, In arrived at the cave and stared at the tunnel entrance on the ground before him, "Gann, what''s with Asaeya''s mental state?"


    "Are the withdrawal symptoms catching up to her?"


    "Nope," Gann shook her head, "A Mammoth nsman experiences withdrawal symptoms if they stay away from their Deity, but it''s not anything serious to the extent it''ll interfere with their mental faculties."


    "Moreover," She continued, "I can temporarily take the ce of her Deity. So, as long as I touch her from time to time, she wouldn''t exhibit any withdrawal symptoms."


    "Then what''s exactly the reason?" He asked.


    "It''s the same thing you''re experiencing, Dad." Gann said, "Asaeya is being influenced by her two Natures."


    "That''s it?" In frowned, "She''s not even using it much, right?"


    "It doesn''t work like in your case," Gann said, "When she uses Akashic Transfer on more than two targets at a time, there''s an exponential increase in the Secondary Nature''s influence on her. At that moment, she feels as if she''s a Grim Knell. This sensation is akin to a drug for her mind. And when she deactivates, that massive rush vanishes, causing her to feel hollow."


    "As this continues to happen, her mental state is getting weaker, causing her to be more prone to its influence and, as a result experiencing mood swings." She continued, "Based on Earth terminology, she''s a drug addict now."


    "If she continues to use Akashic Transfer onrge hordes of Pranic Beasts simultaneously, she''ll go insane quickly." Gann said, "This is why no Grim Knells are sane."


    "I see, so that''s the issue." In nodded and leaped into the tunnel, "Guess it''s decided then."


    As Gann hung onto his back, she essed his thoughts and eximed in surprise, "Dad, don''t you think this idea is too dangerous?"


    "It''s indeed dangerous," In nodded, "But the Cooter n produces valuable medicines that will help in your growth too. So, I was nning to bring us there anyway. Now, Asaeya''s state just gives us one more reason to head there."


    "Dad, the Cooter n is on par with our Mammoth n in terms of strength. If the Empyrean Snapper senses my existence, it''ll ask for a death match to prove which of our two races is superior." Gann expressed nervously.


    "The Cooter n is the only ce with the resources necessary for your growth," In said, his voice stern, "No matter what, it''s a must for you to obtain the Tertiary Nature of Cultivator."


    "I understand," Saying so, she turned silent, sighing mentally, ''The medicine necessary to heal Asaeya is also avable only there.''


    She disliked facing an Empyrean Snapper.


    Sumatra Continent''s Biggest Pranic Beast—Empyrean Tusk!


    Sumatra Continent''s Largest Pranic Beast—Empyrean Snapper!


    The Mammoth n and the Cooter n were the two strongest forces on Sumatra Continent. And their respective Deities were dubbed the strongest under the Mystic Grade. As a result, whenever the two sides came into contact, a battle ensued, both between Pranic Beasts and nsmen.


    As an Empyrean Tusk, Gann wanted to be superior to an Empyrean Snapper on all fronts. Hence, she disliked hearing that she had to rely on one for her needs.


    "Urgh!"
