Chapter 747: Run, Wrunn! Kill Him!
?
"Delicious!" The Celestial Boar roared in ecstasy at the sublime taste, "Again and again, I''m reminded..."
"Of how great an Empyrean Tusk tastes!" He revealed his bloody teeth andughed, "And now, with three Natures, your taste has gotten even richer!"
"Dammit!" Orakha cursed as he constantly changed his Human Avatar and strengthened his Mystic Eater, causing it to rapidly consume the heavy air in its path and speed towards the Celestial Boar. After falling to the Body Stage, he had to exert greater force to be as dangerous as before when he was at the 2-Life Stage.
''His attacks can reach me even through my absolute state?'' The Celestial Boar''s eyes widened to see the golden Mystic Eater rapidly approaching him, ''It''s not as fast as before, but it''s still as fast as the Spirit Weapon of a Brimgan Royal.''
''But no matter, I can strengthen my defence further.'' He thought as in response, particles present in the air rapidly swarmed the golden Mystic Eater and formed ayer over it, slowing it down further.
Astral World-Imprison!
Once imprisoned, the golden Mystic Eater couldn''t move its body. But as it was still a Spirit Weapon, Orakha could continue to move it. However, theyer of dust attached to it acted as the Celestial Boar''s Spirit Weapon, causing thetter to unleash psychokinesis upon it too.
"Yarsha," The Celestial Boar said as Yarsha Zahara immediately sent her kite-shaped Spirit Weapon flying, intending to make the golden Mystic Eater hers. But right as the two Spirit Weapons were about to make contact, the golden Mystic Eater exploded.
"There''s nothing you can do, Orakha. Not alone," The Celestial Boar muttered as it took another chomp of Rhana. But right as he had taken a bite, a second body of Rhana appeared.
The ten strongest Empyrean Tusks had already entered the 2-Life Stage. And when Rhana was trapped thanks to the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Statue and the 39 Tangible Natures of Petrified Geese, she waited for her opportunity.
Right as her first body got killed, she appeared nearby. Since the body turned still thanks to the Minor Treasure and 39 Tangible Natures was dead, there was no connection that would influence the second body.
Thereby, even if her first body remained within her Spirit Weapon range, she wasn''t affected. It was why she waited until her first body died before appearing. And right as she did, she copsed the space in her biomes.
Her body was pulled to her centre of mass and turned into a point-nk spherical mass. Gravity intensified due to the mass concentration, sparking a fusion reaction in the centre that caused it to turn into a sun for the fraction of a second.
Boom!
A violent sr re mmed into the Celestial Boar who raised its arms in defence, eyes nking for an instant from the sheer heat and light. A secondter, the Celestial Boar kneeled on the ground, its body charred ck.
However, the injury wasn''t life-threatening. Prana surged through the body and rapidly healed the damage. In the meantime, the Celestial Boar swapped its body with an uninjured one, getting up immediately after.
"It hurt, but that''s it." The Celestial Boar said as tens of thousands of Satellites fell from its body, "I won''t die to the same attack a second time."
It then picked up thepressed mass and chucked it into its mouth, "Tastes like a burnt piece of flesh, but it will do too."
The Celestial Boar''s stomach rumbled in response as its Primary Nature of Voracious Cultivator worked in full swing, digesting everything of value from Rhana''s two corpses. And then, followed by a thunderous roar, it released a powerful fart, ejecting all the soil and other inedible substances that had once been part of Rhana''s biomes.
"Onto the next one!" The Celestial Boar watched as Yarsha Zahara was busy digesting the blood obtained from Rhana to digest the damage sustained from thetter''s final attack. cing her on its shoulder, it leapt onto the closest Empyrean Tusk.
"Kill! Kill him!" Wrunn roared and mmed with her hammer, only able to pierce four hundred metres through the absolute dome surrounding the Celestial Boar. Tond an attack on thetter, she would have to waddle through a distance of 3.6 kilometres where the air would constantly weigh down on her and push her away.
And even if she manages to reach all the way to the centre, the strength remaining in her blows wouldn''t even scratch the Celestial Boar. After all, even without Subtle Terrain Domination being in her way, Wrunn would have to attack the Celestial Boar with a series of full-powered hits to injure thetter.
The situation was depressing, especially since the Celestial Boar had enough Prana tost for a while after consuming Rhana. It was why Brangara had activated Subtle Terrain Domination only when he judged to get the opportunity to swallow an Empyrean Tusk right after making use of it.
Otherwise, even with all the preparations, including the Natures stored in the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Gracious Inheritor that could serve as a reservoir of Prana, the Celestial Boar will run on fumes in a matter of seconds.
Kurrla!
Fierce gales apanied by intense shockwaves rammed into the dome around the Celestial Boar as the Empyrean Tusks coupled their attacks, nning to exhaust their enemy''s Prana
reserves.
The strongest Empyrean Tusks were 1.6-kilometre-tall humanoid giants now, their hammers bombarding the dome and causing violent ripples throughout it.
Boom! Boom! Kaboom!
"Husband..." Yarsha Zahara became worried as the Empyrean Tusks began tobine their attacks in sync, acting as a team. And every attack from them stressed Brangara''s mind, even if he didn''t show it. ''Controlling eight Natures of Subtle Terrain Domination atop the influence from its other Natures should be taking a serious toll on his mind.''
[It''s nothing I can''t handle. While I''m focused on the Empyrean Tusks, keep a watch on Orakha.]
Her eyes widened as Brangaramunicated with her through an Information Slip. From the beginning, she hadn''t lost sight of Orakha, aware that he could counter her easily. And in their short fight, she came close to death twice, even in a situation where she was being supported
by Brangara.
Boom!
The Celestial Boar rushed into the closest Empyrean Tusk, hurling needle-shaped tornadoes at thetter. bs of bone behaving as Satellites mixed within the exoskeleton in its battle state and guarded the Empyrean Tusk.
However, like a sawtooth cutting through bs of wood, the tornadoes drilled through the defences systematically. The ground also hardened and transformed into spikes to bombard the Empyrean Tusk.
Thunderous sounds resounded rapidly for a few seconds before the Empyrean Tusk trembled,
finding it hard to move anymore as it entered the Spirit Weapon range of the Celestial Boar. Moreover, simr to Rhana, the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Statue had fused with her body, followed by 39 Tangible Natures of Petrified Geese.
"Thank you for the mean..." Brangara had just opened his mouth in an effort to bite down on the Empyrean Tusk''s head when the eyes of thetter burst open and spilling out of it was a horde of Mystic Eaters.
"Husband!" Yarsha Zahara shrieked in shock as the Mystic Eaters spilt into the Celestial Boar''s mouth and drilled into his flesh, quickly hiding there to avoid her Spirit Weapon.
But right as her kite-shaped Spirit Weapon intended to chase after them, a golden Mystic Eater rapidly drilled through the Spirit Weapon range of the Celestial Boar, targeting its chest.
"Dammit!" She had no other choice but to take defensive action because the Celestial Boar''s mind was too upied now. It wasn''t able to use the Nature of Imprison fast enough to hinder the golden Mystic Eater.
''I have to kill at least her.'' Orakha thought with focus, ''They are able to protect the weaknesses of each other, which reduces our means of resistance. As long as I manage to kill her, then a lot of weaknesses will open up for the Celestial Boar.''
''Even if we fail here, others can take advantage of it.'' He let out a deep breath, not thinking about revival, for his goal was to ensure Maroppa could survive. As long as he manages to ensure her safety, he can reunite with her in the future, no matter how long that takes, since he would have to travel through thend route of Sumatra.
Without Maroppa''s assistance, reaching the Manu Enve would be impossible as the Sandy-
Grey Void wasn''t manoeuvrable for him or anyone else.
"This will be my final attack," He muttered and began to tap his chest.
Tertiary Nature-Mystic Eater!
Mystic Eaters jutted out of his Human Avatar and began to make modifications. Taking
centre, the ce of the heart was the Sumatra Gold as usual. He had eight pieces in him at the
moment, most of which were gained from Yarsha Zahara''s arm that he had consumed during the fight.
Surrounding the pieces of Sumatra Gold were minerals sources from the Influenced Region of Golden Deity, ''I need speed, as much as possible.''
''And something that will trigger even if she manages to absorb it.'' He thought, beginning to build an unstable Human Avatar, ''Once it starts the countdown, it cannot be stopped.''
Like a building that had begun to copse, it wouldn''t stop even if the owners changed.
Orakha''s Human Avatar turned sky blue, with arching shades of violet. The majority of the minerals he stored in his Human Avatar were rted to heat, sound, sma, and minerals from the Influenced Region of Golden Giant.
He focused on his fastest mode, one where he could be a bolt of lightning with the
mouth of a Mystic Eater. It was his most offensive mode but the control and defensive aspects
were abysmal. ''I just need a small window.''
Mystic Bone Art-Bone Slip!
He contacted Wrunn, the 10th Empyrean Tusk who stood near him in human form, keeping
him safe from the artillery strike that the Celestial Boar continued tounch every few
seconds, for that was the most damaging to an Empyrean Tusk.
[Release everyone!]
Wrunn was confused by his statement.
[The Mammoth nsmen aren''t strong. Besides, their attacks would only be absorbed by
Yarsha Zahara!]
[That''s alright. I need a distraction. So, release everyone, including the Bone Vipers! And tell
all the big sisters to use all theirnterns. I only need a moment''s window to kill Yarsha!]
The Empyrean Tusk was silent for a moment before nodding in response, aware that the longer she dyed, the more her brethren would be the Celestial Boar''s food. She inhaled a deep breath before unleashing a strong trumpet, following which she assumed Empyrean Tusk form.
[I''ll forge a path for you!]
Wrunn said as she spat out all her Mammoth nsmen and Bone Vipers, raining them
down everywhere. Without a moment''s hesitation, everyone bombarded the Celestial Boar''s
dome.
"Be careful!" Yarsha Zahara said in a hurry as her eyes darted around in a fluster, "I lost sight
of Orakha. I cannot detect him anymore."
"If necessary, use the Kinesis Feline for defence. It''s not as important as our lives." The
Celestial Boar muttered softly and gobbled another Empyrean Tusk, grunting in pain as there was an outbreak of Mystic Eaters in its body, consuming it from the insides.
Its Prana served as their nutrition, allowing them to multiply inrge numbers, ''I need to do
something about them before I''m done for!''
The Celestial Boar harnessed Subtle Terrain Domination into its body, manipting the
blood to form des that served the Mystic Eaters. However, the resources of its body were too nutrient-rich. After a single gulp, a Mystic Eater grew enough to multiply into four individuals, increasing their poption exponentially, faster than the rate at which they were getting killed.
"Now!" After every Empyrean Tusk brought out the entirety of their respective Mammoth n, causing everyone to bombard attacks on the Celestial Boar, Wrunn roared and charged straight into its absolute dome.
Wind shredded its exoskeleton in a matter of seconds as its bloody self rushed in further. Right in response, hundreds of storagenternsnded on the dome, opening their vacuum entrances to suck in the ambient air, reducing the density of air within the dome.
"Run, Wrunn!" Nita shrieked as she copsed her gravity and turned into a miniature
sun, bombarding the Celestial Boar with a sr re.
One after another, the Empyrean Tusksmitted suicide, stretching the Celestial Boar''s
concentration to the limit, allowing Wrunn to reach the centre and ram into her opponent,
bellowing at her hardest, "Now!"
"Orakha!"
