Chapter 755: Where’s Orakha?


    ?


    "His Spirit Container has no traces of a Nature..." Boul Brimgan muttered in a daze once he concluded his inspection on Orakha, frowning as he stared at Bl, "Say, if his Spirit Container had been surgically removed, would it affect his revival?"


    "No," Bl shook his head, "It''s still his power. So, when I revive him, he''ll be revived with his Natures. It''s just that his Human Avatar will be empty, since I''m not filling it up. But if all the necessary minerals are in my ess, I can revive him at the peak of the Body Stage, with aplete Human Avatar."


    "None of the damage will be counted, since I''m reviving them in their natural state of being, as their Prana dictates." Bl exined, "That''s why I''m puzzled, since it seems even his Prana has been affected to the extent it feels as if he never had a Nature in the first ce."


    ''If the revival process can ignore damage as Bl states, then it makes no sense why Orakha is in this state.'' Boul Brimgan thought before asking, "Maybe he was extensively tortured?"


    "Even that cannot exin it fully." Bl shook his head, "Prana is a fusion of the energies of the body, mind, and soul. So, as long as Prana flows through his body, any damage done to his mind would also heal over time, until he returns to his natural state of body, mind, and soul."


    "But that natural state has been changed here. From what I know, even a Minor Treasure cannot do it." Bl expressed in worry, "That''s what I''m perplexed about."


    "Uncle..." Ruvva crouched before Orakha and stared at his eyes, tearing up in response, "He has been broken beyond the point of recovery. Just...who could have done it?"


    "There''s only one person with the motive and capability to do that to him." Boul Brimgan didn''t even hesitate to spit out in anger, "It''s that traitor of the Free Humans!"


    "That woman?" Ruvva raised an eyebrow as she recalled the painting of Yarsha Zahara that she had seen on a scroll. Veins popped on her forehead as anger gradually spilled forth from her being, making itself known through her billowing presence. ''She dares?''


    "Are you sure it''s here?" She calmed her nerves and asked Boul Brimgan, "Do we have any proof?"


    "A bit over six years ago, I felt that I could condense a tenth one..." Boul Brimgan said and condensed ten Kinesis Felines beside him, "Yarsha Zahara stole the tenth one when the Major Treasure of Attribute revealed itself. She had been controlling it all along. But now, I could make a new one once again."


    "That still doesn''t prove anything," Ruvva frowned as she gently seeped her Prana into Orakha, retracting it in a hurry when his body spasmed violently in response.


    "Argh!" For a moment, there was a shriek of terror from Orakha before he reverted to a deranged state.


    "I promise to figure out a way to heal him. I''m capable enough," Ruvva stared at Bl. Her expression then became tense as she whispered to him in a hurry, "Hide him!"


    Her figure spun and turned into a spinning ball that shed towards the throne room''s entrance, stopping as she stared at a girl walking past, dressed in frilly clothes. "Yo!"


    "Mother! I was searching for you everywhere!" The girl, aged a bit over neen bubbled her way towards Ruvva, "I made a new game today. Today is the day I defeat you!"


    "Hoh? Are you that confident?" Ruvva gradually flexed her arms as her expression became one of interest, "You''re a hundred years too early for that."


    "Hehe, you''ll see." The girl shed a board game for the fraction of a second before hiding it in her sleeve. Sheughed and was about to run away when she noticed the figure of Bl in the throne room, focusing on the spherical bundle formed by the vines extending out of his left hand, "Eh? Mother, why is that person''s hand looking like a tree?"


    "Mother?" Bl stared at Ruvva in shock, "You have a child?"


    "How old do you think I am?" Ruvva raised an eyebrow, "I''m thirty-four."


    It had been 34 years since the Second Major Disaster ended, which was the same as her age, for


    she was born at the same time the Major Treasure of Attribute revealed itself.


    "34? You''re that old already?" Bl blinked in confusion for a few seconds beforementing with an awkwardugh, "Man, time flies."


    "Mother, who is this tree person?" The girl asked as she stared at Bl, expressing curiosity, hoping to touch the vines.


    "A dangerous criminal." Boul Brimgan said with a parodying tone of caution.


    "Oh please, I''m not a kid anymore." The girl rolled her eyes. She then inched closer to Bl when Ruvva held her back.


    "That guy eats Pranic Beasts for breakfast," Ruvva said and red at Bl,municating through eye contact.


    "I do...? Eh? Ah, y-yes, I do eat them for breakfast." Bl didn''t know what Ruvva implied but yed along with the lie as he condensed a carnivorous mouth from his right hand, "Hehe! I eat them with this!"


    "Scary!" The girl shrieked a little and ran behind Ruvva, her footsteps having a mild spin to them, mimicking the way Ruvva moved.


    "The adults are talking, so be a good girl and wait for me in your room, alright?" Ruvva said and nudged the girl, sighting as she closed the double doors once the girl was out of her sight.


    "Who is the father?" Bl asked.


    "He''s dead, don''t ask." Ruvva shook her head, expressing that she didn''t wish to go into detail about it. She then approached Orakha after Bl unfurled the vines wrapping him and lifted him up, "I''ll focus on treating him."


    "Bring him to my ward," Ha Brimgan said as she got up, "The Brimgan Empire owes him a lot. That''s the least I can do. Besides, it''ll be safer with me on standby next to him."


    ''It seems I made the right decision to bring him here.'' Bl thought in relief as he watched the Emperor and Grand Minister express genuine concern for Orakha''s well-being. ''Those fragmented memories did hint that there was some deep cooperation between the two sides.''


    Bl didn''t know all the details, but from the fragmented memories he got from the Transcendent Eater, he understood that Orakha was valued by the Brimgan Empire. Moreover, since Ruvva was the Empire''s Guardian and cared about Orakha a lot, he brought thetter


    here.


    Bl had a barebones rtionship with Orakha at best. They weren''t even on the level of colleagues, forget being friends. The only reason Bl wanted to save Orakha was to conserve the strength of the Mystic Path.


    The loss of the Orange Mystic Path''s strength meant a higher chance of their defeat at the hands of the Celestial Boar. That was pretty much the reason he cared about Orakha.


    "I''ll get going then. My job''s done here." Bl said and turned around to leave, pausing for a moment before he smiled wryly at Boul Brimgan, "Do inform everything to Vir when hees here."


    "Why would he arrive here..." Boul Brimgan paused for a moment before grunting in annoyance, "You told him too?"


    "I sent a body to the Dralh Sea while I made my way into the Brimgan Empire." Bl smiled wryly, "I wanted to inform everyone who cared about him, which is two people."


    He stared at Ruvva, "First is you, and second is that guy..."


    "Vir."


    "I never expected him to have such a trait, but from what I''ve found out, Vir seems to genuinely consider Orakha as a friend," Bl said and took his leave.


    [Let him leave, mother!]


    Boul Brimgan contacted Ha Brimgan through an Information Slip upon feeling thetter''s


    concern.


    [We need to at least figure out where he''s heading towards.]


    In response to her words, Boul Brimgan shook his head, aware that Bl had no enmity with


    the Brimgan Empire. So, he had no reason to expend time and resources to keep an eye on Bl. After all, as the Blue Mystic Path, Bl would be focused on killing the Celestial Boar.


    [We don''t need to exercise unnecessary caution and antagonise Bl. Let the Mystic Paths and the Celestial Boar kill each other. We''re the ones growing stronger from the sides!]


    "Ensure that she doesn''t meet Vir, even by mistake." Boul Brimgan said a few minutester, addressing Ruvva, "We can''t risk exposing her identity."


    "Her identity is that she''s my daughter. Even if we''re alone, don''t speak otherwise." Ruvva ryed a word of caution and took her leave, "Now, if you''ll excuse me, Uncle Emperor!"


    "Yeah, yeah, go, go." Boul Brimgan waved his hand, reeling from a headache as he subtly raised the level of defence within his Spirit Weapon range, protecting the Capital City and its surroundings better.


    With a thought from him, a Kinesis Feline condensed at an altitude of twelve kilometres above the ground, positioning itself at an open spot uncovered by clouds as it stared in the direction of the Dralh Sea, silently observing the target location.


    Two weekster, in the dead of the night, a reddish-purple radiance billowed out of the Dralh


    Sea, from the headquarters of the Mystic Humans. The radiance was a sizeablyrge dot in the Kinesis Feline''s vision, considering the sheer distance between the two regions.


    ''Bl''s body finally reached Vir.'' Boul Brimgan thought in response, watching through the


    eyes of the Kinesis Feline in the sky as he noticed a small reddish trail form on the Cooter- Brimgan Channel, rapidly speeding towards the Brimgan Empire.


    Four dayster, the figure of Vir stood in the Brimgan pce, his expression incensed,


    "Where is he?"N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Control your emotions and I''ll bring you there." Boul Brimgan said as a streak of sweat dripped down his forehead, feeling the sheer forces radiating maniacally from Vir. If he hadn''t used his psychokinesis to protect the ce, there would have been some serious


    casualties.


    After all, Vir had lost his cool, his shout reverberating across the ce, "Where''s Orakha?"


    "WHERE?"
