Chapter 896: Shuwrak Zahara
?
Binkn City!
Despite the recent war with the Varahan Empire, the city was standing strong. There were plenty of Wean nsmen protecting the ce, and the moment things get dangerous, the Boar King would arrive to their assistance.
Currently, the Varahan Empire didn''t have anyone who could properly face the Boar King other than Narkahamy. However, thetter didn''t take action and was instead focused on strengthening as many Free Humans as possible with a Blessed Influence.
Narkahamy had already reached the 10-Life Stage and was at a pivotal point in his umtion. Losing a body at the moment would set him back by another two years, which he couldn''t afford. After all, once all the Boar Kings were kidnapped by the Mystic Seven, including Yamahara, the rule regarding the Boar Kings was no longer privy to the Wean n.@@novelbin@@
The only other individual who knew about it was Narkahamy, thanks to the Royal Zinger. Therefore, even if Narkahamy were to take action, it would be only after YoriBuntara bes a Boar King. That way, even if he were to kill the Wean n''s Boar King by mistake, the one to be the Empyrean Boar King would be YoriBuntara.
She waspletely submissive to him, even subconsciously. Narkahamy made damn sure of that. So, she was his insurance to prevent the arrival of the Empyrean Boar King. And even if that were to happen, she would be the one to be it.
As a result, without Narkahamy taking the charge, there wasn''t an individual in the Varahan Empire strong enough to defeat the Boar King. As a result, the three megacities under the Wean n continued to grow without issues.
There were plenty of Free Humans there, submissive to the control of the Wean n. But steadily, the number of Wean nsmen was increasing. In their Pranic Beast forms, as long as they eat enough food, they''ll have sufficient Prana to maintain their transformation.
That would allow them to be pregnant as Empyrean Boars, allowing them to birth dozens of children. Upon birth, the baby Empyrean Boars would revert to human forms and could then be cared for in the traditional way.
It was a massive strain in resources for such a birth to happen, but it was also a necessity, since a single birth session could produce over a dozen Wean nsmen. In times of war, the Wean n too was doing everything in their effort to emerge victorious.
A Wean nsman needed on average six to eight years to reach maturity. An Empyrean Boar only needed 2 years, but they were Wean nsmen and hence needed longer. But even then, 8 years was too short a time for a Gold Grade existence to reach maturity.
The Varahan Empire was only able to keep up pace thanks to Narkahamy''s build being distributed to arge number of Free Humans. Their side too was trying to match the number of Gold Grade existences.
"Impressive!" Hands tied, Inmented upon exiting the railway station. Expanding before him was a sprawling city of ginormous Decodus Trees, with each reaching 400 metres. Expansive pavements had beenid, creating walking spaces that traversed the entire city.
There were parks, residential areas, industries, schools, etc. Close to the railway station was a training facility where a group of Wean nsmen were training.
"Move! Faster! Angle it better!" A drill instructor bellowed fiercely, his every p resounding fiercely. The wave of sound produced in the air was visible to the naked eye.
At his shout, the group of Wean nsmen activated a Nature of Shredded Lunge and disappeared, appearing ten metres away, followed by a series of wind des.
"Kyak!"
"Ouch!"
"Why are they hitting me?"
One after another, the Wean nsmen made amotion due to the chaotic nature of the wind des generated by Shredded Lunge.
"Silence!" The instructor roared and used his psychokinesis to bring forward a Vara cage. Within it was a Razor Rate held captive. "Now observe!"
The moment the cage came undone, the drill instructor masked his presence, appearing weak. Spontaneously, the Razor Rat judged him its prey and lunged at him. There was only five metres between the two, which it traversed perfectly.
Itnded atop his feet, and right at that moment, wind des were produced from its body. Instead of randomly attacking it surroundings, the wing des formed a line and targeted the knees, one after another.
The first wind de cut a couple centimetres into the knees. Before its power could end, the second wind de struck the same spot, further exuberating the injury. In a series, the wind des struck the same spot and ended up severing the drill instructor''s knees, causing him to copse to the floor.
Without a moment''s hesitation, it jumped on his chest while its wind des targeted the neck in the same fashion as before.
If he were to leave it as is, he would die. And hence, the drill instructor assumed Empyrean Boar form and tanked the wind des like they were nothing. And then, with a snort, the Empyrean Boar sent the Razor Rat flying away.
As the Razor Rat crashed into the wall and plopped to the ground amidst a pool of blood, the drill instructor reverted to human form and stayed still for a few seconds to watch his legs regrow. Once they were good as new, he got up and addressed the Wean nsmen, "Well? Did you watch how it performed Shredded Lunge?"
"Is something like that possible for us?" One of the Wean nsmen asked in confusion, "We''ve never been able to angle the wind des like that. When we perform Shredded Lunge, the wind des just disperse radially from ournding spot."
"It''s possible." The drill instructor nodded, "And you need to observe the Razor Rats to see how they perform Shredded Lunge and then apply the principle to yourself. With enough training, you can increase the destructive lethality of the ability."
"We don''t need any Silver Grade Natures or above." The drill instructor said with confidence, "Understand the basics of all Iron Grade Natures, find abination that suits your character, and train until you can execute all those Natures on the level of the original Pranic Beasts. That''s enough,"
He grinned, "Do that, and no one within the Gold Grade will be your match."
"Can you do that, instructor?" One of the Wean nsman asked.
"Only for Shredded Lunge, which is why I''m instructing you on it." The drill instructor snorted, "If I could do the same for a dozen Iron Grade Natures, I would personally sever the head of the Varahan Emperor."
"That''s why I''m training the lot of you, so that you may reach that point in the future!" The drill instructor said and smiled upon seeing the Wean nsmen train diligently. Suddenly, his skin prickled as he turned to the sky and noticed that perched on the stem of a Decodus Tree at an altitude of two hundred metres was a Brully, watching him with entertained eyes, ''Why the heck is a Pranic Beast here? Did it invade us?''
"Ooh!" In observed the group, chuckling upon seeing how Shredded Lunge was being used, ''They are innovating extensively. That''s amazing! They''ve already left Brangara''s
shadow.''
Brangara was just too strong. As a result, he only employed basic application of the various Natures he collected and primarily relied on Astral Chart and eventually, Astral World to deal
with everything.
Upon his death, the Wean n was forced to innovate, to ensure they wouldn''t be wiped out or enved by the Varahan Empire. As a result, they observed, researched, and figured out ways to maximise the usage of every single Nature.
''There was a faint presence fluctuation, but I cannot be mistaken.'' In thought in excitement, ''When that instructor used Shredded Lunge, he had activated a skill. It means they are finally in the right direction of development.''
Mystic Sumatra Art was suited for Pranic Beasts. The instructor had used its characteristics
upon Shredded Lunge and controlled the Nature as if it were a Spirit Weapon. Through that, he was able to fully exercise how his Shredded Lunge behaved.
''Indeed, you were a monstrous genius, Yarsha!'' Goosebumps appeared on his skin as In thought, ''This was probably what you were hoping to achieve when you created Mystic Sumatra Art.''
Through the Skill, the Wean nsman would not only be able to use the Nature on the level of the original Pranic Beast, but at times even usebinations to achieve a stronger output.
Blessed Influence!
That was Narkahamy''s solution to take advantage of the influence from Natures gathering in
the Vara Human Avatar. Simrly, the Wean n intended to use skills that couldbine
the powers of various Natures and result in a simr result.
Their power output and control capacity would be higher thanks to the Skills and the functions of Mystic Sumatra Art that imprinted the characteristics of Prana on blood and vice
versa.
''Indeed, without the pressure of survival, it''s impossible to develop and be fit.'' In
thought, continuing to watch the Wean nsmen in training until DaraBuntara tugged the rope binding him and pulled him to the ground.
"Ouch!" In yelped upon falling to the ground and producing a loud thud. By the time he got up, his injuries had already healed, "That was rude. I was watching them practice."
"You can do thatter." DaraBuntara sighed, stared at RoloVentara for a moment and nodded
subtly. He then addressed In, "We can do thatter. But first, there''s someone I want you to meet, Leukeu."
"Who is it?" In asked. ''Will I get to meet their Boar King?''
"You''ll know once you meet them." DaraBuntara didn''t exin as the group walked a short distance, entered another railway station and boarded a singlepartment railway.
After an hour''s journeyter, they entered the interior of a Decodus Tree whose trunk spanned
a radius of 180 metres, a monstrous size. Upon arriving inside, Inined, "It''s too cramped."
He pointed at the flight of stairs, "I cannot go through that, even if you were to stuff my body in it."
"You don''t need to." Saying so, DaraBuntara arrived at the double doors situated right before him and knocked on them, "We''re here."
"Come in," There was a soft, familiar voice as the double doors opened.
"Let''s head in, Leukeu." Saying so, DaraBuntara escorted In inside as the double doors
closed behind them.
In noticed that only DaraBuntara apanied him inside. Even RoloVentara stayed outside, making him all the more curious, ''What are they nning now?''
The room was empty, the walls barren. There was a single chair ced at the other end of the
room, but that was it. There was nothing impressive about the ce other than the fact that it seemed soundproofed.
In looked around, ''Even my senses cannot pick up anything beyond this room?''
"A Brully, huh?" A small hole opened on the opposite wall, and out slid a man in early
twenties appearance wise. His actions were exemry of grace as he coolly took a seat on the
chair and observed In, "Leukeu, was it?"
"Wee to the Wean n!"
''Damn!'' Subconsciously, In''s back was drenched with sweat, ''It seems the Wean n
indeed has a backup n. And they''ve wiped out the memories of all known parties. Only after
Yarsha Zahara and Brangara were died did this backup surface.''
"Yes," In epted the greeting as he eyed the man before him, ''Just what the heck has
Yarsha done to him? He''spletely different from my memories of him.''
Shuwrak Zahara-Yarsha''s older brother!
