Chapter 348 Close to Gic Sess
''Of course, he would be hiding amongst the Mammoth n.'' Boar King felt that he was an idiot, having never thought of such an obvious scenario, ''All Empyrean Tusks can sense my position through fear. So, the moment they react, he''ll know where I am and could take action ordingly. He''ll be the safest there.''
The Boar King had targeted the Mammoth n enough times in the past two millennia that he was aware of them being able to sense his position through fear. Nothing could be done to avoid that, since the cause of that was the twenty-plus Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity in his Astral Chart.
Therefore, hiding among the Mammoth n was the safest for Loot. He could make ns without worries. And if the Boar King ever tried to approach him, he would know through the Empyrean Tusks'' bodynguage and could flee in advance.
It was very clever of him to take advantage of the Mammoth n, ''He probably has an ability that allows him to disguise himself as a Mammoth nsman.''
It would be very easy for the current Loot as he had In''s Spirit Container, possessing Prana signatures of many people, including three Mammoth nsmen—In, Asaeya, and Gann.
''Since this happened in the Dieng Canyon, he probably had taken advantage of the Zinger''s power to appear as a Mammoth nsman.'' The Boar King thought.
The more he analysed, the deeper into this false tale he went. There were enough clues for him to believe this to be the truth.
It was the easiest to fool those with intelligence. After all, with minimum clues, they could form the entire picture. As long as In created a false narrative for the first few clues, the resultant picture created in the target''s mind would be vastly different from the truth.
It was a psychological tactic, one that had worked wonders in the current scenario.
''I should spy on the Mammoth n next and find more clues.'' The Boar King thought.
"Shall we start?" In asked as he took a vial and stared at the Free Human Spirit Container inside, one that had soaked up Wittral''s blood. Simrly, in Wittral''s possession was a vial with a Free Human Spirit Container that had soaked up In''s blood.
These two Spirit Containers weren''t a unified whole, but each was a cluster of a hundred Spirit Containers. The Cooter n didn''t have the means to make them a unified whole, especially since the Free Humans—from whom they were extracted—didn''t practice any cultivation technique.
"Go ahead." The Boar King seeped his Prana into the Spirit Containers after activating his Primary Nature of Voracious Nature. His Prana, filled with the power of the ability seeped into the Spirit Container and influenced it.
Gulp!
Both In and Wittral consumed their respective vials, feeling their stomachs turn hot in response. The effect of Voracious Nature caused their stomachs to rapidly digest and assimte the contents of the Spirit Containers, after they had soaked up some gic data of the blood they were immersed in.
This was only possible through Voracious Nature, since it was geared towards gluttony.
"Eek!" In felt his stomach rumble as he rushed towards the bathroom, experiencing diarrhoea. Wittral was in a simr state. Their bodies were rejecting the influences brought by the contents of the vials.
"Alright, see you tomorrow." The Boar King walked away and left the ce, intending to roam the Dralh Sea further for some good Natures to store.
Inside In''s stomach biome, Gann stared at therge batch of Spirit Containers before her, smiling, "This is enough, Dad."
Thetest batch wasn''t as good in quality as those personally extracted by In. But they were enough, since Gann was already close to sess. They were only necessary for the final step of the process, especially the Spirit Containers of Cooter nsmen at the Spirit Stage.
In at most two months, she would obtain the Tertiary Nature of Cultivator. Before he was everything she needed. Smiling, Gann drank a vial of Influence Easing Elixir, which was what she primarily relied upon to suppress her base instincts as an Empyrean Tusk to transform her organs into biomes.
That was how she was able to live in In''s stomach biome without causing any issues.
The next day, In and Wittral downed another vial with the Boar King''s help, rushing to the bathroom as their bodies began to digest it. By the end of a month, the figures of both were thin, malnourished, a result of constant diarrhoea.
But steadily, the effects of the Boar King''s Primary Nature of Voracious Nature were affecting their Prana-less bodies, influencing them to ept the gic material of each other. Wittral''s body offered less resistance to the Spirit Containers containing In''s presence and simrly, In''s body offered less resistance to Spirit Containers containing Wittral''s presence.
The Free Human Spirit Containers were the purest of their kind, unblemished, uninfluenced. Therefore, when it was immersed in a vial of In''s blood, it absorbed the characteristics present in In''s blood.
As a result, it took traces of influences to be mildly simr to In''s Spirit Container. And when Wittral swallowed it under the power of the Boar King, he became more epting of In''s Spirit Container, or rather the power forming in it.
As the days passed, the resistance offered by their bodies reduced as their affinity increased. Eventually, an entire nine monthster, the offered resistance became zero.
Staring at his reflection in the mirror, In failed to recognise himself. He was barely skin and bones. Wittral too was in a simr state, but In''s condition was way worse. The cause was his stomach biome. It had taken a toll on his body.
These days, he was always exhausted,cking enough energy to even think. Constantly vomiting the moment he ate a morsel, unable to fall asleep for more than a few minutes at a stretch, a body that refused to cooperate, and leaking blood from his orifices.
"Cough! Cough!" In spat out a few drops of blood on the floor, not having the strength to even clean it.
"Do you have to push yourself to such an extent?" Taltal helped him drink a vial of medicine and took charge of the cleanup.
"Yes…" In nodded weakly, "It''s necessary….to seed."
Without Taltal''s help and the medicines she provided, In and Wittral would have died long ago, due to how overtaxed their bodies were, under an extreme state of foreign influence that had skewed even their gic material.
A Mystic Grade Pranic Beast''s Prana was on a level superior to all Elixirs, extremely potent in nature. Both of them were consuming that like water and hence had changed tremendously.
"Can you leave, Madam Taltal?" In asked weakly.
"No, the both of you don''t have the strength necessary to take care of yourselves." Taltal refused adamantly, "I''ll stay here."
"Please...I beg you." Wittral''s voice resounded from the side, wheezing, "Just your presence alone might affect us and mess up what we''re about to do."
"…Fine." Taltal relented in the end, staring at Wittral''s skeletal figure with moist eyes, "All the best. I pray for your sess."
"Thank you." Wittral nodded and smiled weakly, saying upon hearing familiar footsteps, "You''re here, Sir Boar King."
"This is the final stretch. Hold on and let me witness the fruits of your struggles." The Boar King grinned in excitement as he ced In and Wittral beside each other and cut off their clothes. He activated a Centinger''s Primary Nature and made a clear incision on the chests of both, "Persevere!"
a Prana Bombyer covered the inner walls of the house, ensuring no traces would leak out as Prana burst out of the Boar King like a volcanic eruption and surged into the chests of the two. Immediately in response, he extracted their hearts.
