Chapter 883: Gann Meets Ruvva
?
Khatra Desert!
A group of over 100 hungry Forest Boars were fleeing in panic, experiencing fear as a blur of ivory chased after them. One of them bleated in horror and copsed to the ground, headless.
A Forest Boar turned to its right and noticed the Forest Boar apanying it was now running headless. It kept pace for a few seconds as its head began to regenerate. However, its regeneration speed wasn''t enough to regrow the head fast enough. Halfway, it died.
"What is that monster?" The Forest Boar running at the very front of the group screamed in fright, ignoring its rumbling stomach''s growing sense of hunger. Its eyes then lit up in relief upon seeing the Khatra Border twenty kilometres away, forming a small, but wide line over the horizon in its vision. "A bit more, and we''ll be free..."
Suddenly, the bodies of all the Forest Boars stopped moving, as if electrocuted. Their hearts thumped with all its might, circting Prana in a frenzy in an effort to resist the pervading influence. However, the ability was too powerful, and in a matter of seconds, their senses nked out.
Weaponisation-Dance of Annihtion!
Gann''s human form danced on the ivory sands, watching the Forest Boars transform into Nature Weapons one after another. Soon, the over 100 Forest Boars had been reduced to Nature Weapons.
With a thought from her, the Natures Weapons flew into her grasp one after another, pulled in by her psychokinesis. Opening her mouth, Gann swallowed all except four. She threw a Nature Weapon on the ivory sand before her and began to dance once again.
Weaponisation-Dance of Recovery!
The Nature Weapon reverted into a Forest Boar that looked around in confusion, as if it had just woken up from slumber. Right as it had gathered its beings, Gann''s figure st past, puncturing its head as she lithelynded on the other side.
Blood dripped from her body as with a wave of her Prana, she cleaned herself and turned around in one whole action, hearing the thud of the headless Forest Boar, ''This isn''t enough!''
The second Nature Weapon revered into a Forest Boar as Ganntched onto its face and brought down her fists, pummelling thetter into a paste in a matter of seconds, "Not enough!"
She reverted the final two Nature Weapons into Forest Boars and kicked the first. The sheer strength behind her kick shattered its body and sent it crashing into the second Forest Boar. As the two figures flew across the ivory sands, crashing through a couple of sand dunes, a figure kept pace andnded on them.
The two Forest Boars were stered onto the ivory sands as Gann applied her actual weight during the stomp, cratering their bodies until everything forming them sttered out like a rain shower.
"Heuk...kuk..." Her breathing was slightly ragged, not due to the fight, but due to the emotion of anger she was unable to bottle up, "Argh!"
Roaring in anger, she noticed another group of Forest Boars and pounced upon them, engaging in a dog fight. She took hits to the fae most of the time, but her sheer recovery speed kept her going without any issues as she ripped apart one Forest Boar after another.
And when she was about to be overwhelmed, she used Dance of Annihtion and turned the attackers into Nature Weapons.
Boom!
Her fist mmed into a sand dune and sttered it. Her ragged breathing steadied gradually as Gann slumped within the crater she had just created, shedding a tear, "Harr...!"
Ever since that day during the Third Major Disaster, Gann had searched everywhere possible but was unable to find Harr. Even though she didn''t wish to believe it, Gann knew the reality.
Harr was dead!
That day, when she was trapped in an Attributed Water Cage, even though Gann couldn''t hear what In and Harr were talking about, she observed their lip movement. That, coupled with Harr''s varying facial expressions was enough proof of her conjecture.
She still denied the possibility and tried to look around, hiding from the Quip n while tailing them in secret, using the skill of Empyrean Extraction from time to time. She had targeted hundreds of Quip Zingers and dozens of Zinger Aristocrats, gaining a lot of information. However, none of them had any idea about Harr''s state.
Eventually, she sneaked into the Khatra Desert, hoping to gain some, any leads possible here. But the moment she saw the Forest Boars, even if she didn''t wish to understand, her brain naturallypleted the puzzle.
Yennda refrained from using it, no matter what, fearing the consequences would eventuallye to kill his daughter too. However, the fact that Forest Boars were roaming around in endless numbers and pouring out of the Khatra Desert nonstop was enough proof.
Yennda had been pushed to the limit, and he no longer cared about the consequences of his actions. For someone who didn''t even flinch at the notion of death or the most brutal form of
torture, there was only one situation that pushed him over the edge.
Harr''s Death!
That was why she was angry, venting her anger on the Forest Boars. She hated In for doing something so despicable. However, what she hated even more was that she perfectly understood why In had done so.
''That resulted in Brangara''s death.'' Her face scowled in response, morphing from calm to explosive rage in an instant before returning to calm once again, looping erratically. Irrespective of her emotional state, her logical self perfectly analysed and apuded In''s actions.
''If I wasn''t so weak, In wouldn''t have been forced to be the Royal Zinger in the first ce.'' Tears streamed out of her eyes as she stared at the sky, "Now, he''s dead..."
"You should have talked to me at least once," She sobbed, raging a momentter to unleash a gale that formed an expansive canyon before her, "I...would have listened."
The Royal Zinger would revive in the Quip n eventually. That much she could piece together after umting the data from hundreds of Quip nsmen. Moreover, she had apanied In throughout his journey, until he became the Royal Zinger.
She could retrace his steps and obtain a greater understanding of the logic behind the Royal Zinger''s build, which made it all the more clearer to her, ''The next In I encounter won''t be my father.''
Climbing out of the canyon, Gann headed deeper into the Khatra Desert, intending to
investigate the source of the Forest Boars and other variants rapidly filling up the Khatra Desert. She spotted a Forest Boar from afar and raced towards it, spurring thetter into
retaliation.
However, upon getting close enough, she kicked the ground with force upon making her body
light, evaded the Forest Boar''s attacks, and made contact with thetter''s body. Swiftly taking seat in the Forest Boar''s Secondary Nature slot, Gann erupted with her influence.
The eyes of the Forest Boar turned cloudy as its Secondary Nature''s influence overwhelmed its mind. In a matter of minutes, its body fell under Gann''s control, causing her to use it as a vessel to move around.
The Forest Boar steadily sprinted in the direction of the final conflict between the Royal Zinger and Celestial Boar,ing across a forest where even the shortest trees had crossed a kilometre in height.
They had yet to hit their limit and were steadily growing, mutating in ordance to their size and density to better their structure. They were adapting to the height and changing to be able to grow further beyond.
The moment she set foot in the forest, Gann felt her body tremble in fright, ''What the fuck
is hiding here?''
Her forest Boar body trembled nonstop, as if a prey that had encountered a predator. Everywhere her eyes could see, there were Forest Boars, in the tens of thousands. And mixed amidst them, emanating stronger presences were other variants that even Gann had to be
cautious against.
''I need to be careful.'' Thinking as such, Gann carefully manoeuvred through the forest, inching her way towards the centre. However, she had barely traversed a dozen kilometres in such a fashion when suddenly, her body arrived at a stop subconsciously.
Casuallytched onto the branches of the trees like ko bears were a new breed of Pranic Beasts, a boar variant obviously, but not the mobile kind.
They resembled a boar at first nce, but had spines that were thrice longer, giving them a somewhat centipede-like form. Their hooves had pointy thorns across them, meant to dig into andtch onto the trees.
At theirrgest, they spanned a length of 34 metres, pretty small for a Gold Grade Pranic Beast. These creaturestched onto their respective branches and hibernated for most of their life, consuming nothing but the produce of their respective trees.
They were herbivores, and strangely, that was what made them eerie, as they had a loose
lower jaw, like snakes, capable of expanding beyond the size of their head. One of them yawned, opening its mouth twicerger than the size of its head, the picture creepy.
These creatures seemed nocturnal and didn''t react when Forest Boars moved on the ground beneath them. However, the eyes of every single one of them, numbering over a thousand amidst the foliage shot open and gazed at the Forest Boar controlled by Gann.
Drip! Drip!
''Ah, fuck!'' Gann groaned almost simultaneously, realising that even though these Pranic
Beasts couldn''t sense her, their hunger was stimted for some reason. And they didn''t think much about it and intended to target the cause that stimted their hunger, ''These creatures must have been born with such a gic trait. Only that exins how they could sense the mild traces of my influence pervading this Forest Boar!''
Gann had underestimated their senses too much and became careless. The Prana circting the Forest Boar''s blood had traces of influence generated by its Secondary Nature
-which was her.
This was what stimted the hunger of the creatures before her. Had she exercised caution,
she would have equipped in the Forest Boar''s Tertiary Nature slot either the Nature Weapon
of Bloody Affection or Inhibition Dome. That would have prevented this trace from leaking
out.
Mutated Intermediate Gold Grade Pranic Beast-Murky Boar!
Primary Nature-Voracious Pit!
Secondary Nature-Astral Vomit!
It had a Prana capacity of 5800 and a lifespan of 1280 years. Murky Boars were nocturnal creatures with slothful characteristics. They would spend their lives not moving beyond a few kilometres from their birth position, unless they couldn''t find a ce totch onto.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
They consumed food nonstop and lived only to eat. Voracious Pit created a robust stomach in
their body, an organ whose toughness paled only before the tusk of an Empyrean Tusk. The
food consumed by a Murky Boar waspressed to its limit in its stomach. Small portions were digested when necessary.
The stomach of a Murky Boar contained enough food tost its consumption needs for a few
years. And the more they used their Primary Nature and trained, the more they were able to eat and store in their stomachs.
Voracious Pitpressed and preserved the food in a pristine state, and ording to the
Murky Boar''s will, only shaved off the necessary parts to aid in digestion while the digestive juices avoided reacting with the rest of the food substance in the stomach.
Murky Boars were territorial in nature, unwilling for their spots to be taken by anyone else. If
they spotted anyone they judged as a threat, they''dunch an attack, which was to vomit thepressed food in their stomach in a single, powerful st.
Thepressed food would be ejected out with enough force that it could pierce through the
tough bodies of even Gold Grade Pranic Beasts. It was a pure physical force, as the power of Astral Vomit was involved in how fast the stomach could bepressed to gush out the stored food substances through the mouth.
As to how Gann came to learn this information? It was by tanking it firsthand!
The Forest Boar was vaporised by aser ofpressed food, revealing her Nature Weapon form that next became the subject of bombardment.
Boom!
Gann activated Dance of Annihtion and caused the bodies of the Murky Boars to stiffen
up temporarily, which stopped their foodsers partway. Even the resultant force was too much, damaging her Nature Weapon form as Gann made it as light as possible, and used
the momentum to be sent flying away. Only by this could she negate as much damage as possible.
"Dammit, I messed up!" Reverting to human form, Gann clutched her chest and churned Prana into her heart, healing the damage done to her Nature Weapon form as she switched bodies to a healthier one.
She was just about to focus on recovery when Gann flinched and turned around in a flurry, noticing the Infinite Divine Soldier within her line of sight. However, it was unresponsive. Latched onto its head was the Mystic Human Stamp, extracting everything of worth from it while the consumer was a tall woman.
The process was right aboutpleted as the Infinite Divine Soldier copsed to the floor with a soft thud, reverted to the human form as Yahard Tusk and melted into a sludge. Pocketing the Mystic Human Stamp, the tall woman stared at Gann, "You are a fine mess
now,"
"Gan!"
