After his fight against Geugeu, the Boar King arrived at a corner of the Dralh Sea and sat in peace for a couple of minutes, circulating his Prana to heal his injuries, "His attacks sting a lot."

"He almost forced me to use a strong Nature." The Boar King exhaled in relief. He felt it was a waste to use strategic Natures against anyone other than the Mammoth Clan. It was why he remained conservative in using his abilities.

After all, despite holding back to the absolute limit, he was still damn strong. He faced the third strongest existence on Sumatra Continent without using a single Gold Grade Nature. That was the extent of the power difference between the two.

After finishing his recovery, the Boar King took on his Pranic Beast form and leaped into the Dralh Sea to devour a large school of marine Pranic Beasts. He came ashore after the hunt, created a small marsh, and immersed himself in it, falling asleep.

He was running low on Prana, which was the only reason Geugeu hadn't lost a single life. And now, before he moved again, the Boar King intended to recover all his Prana.

Beginner Mystic Grade Pranic BeastEmpyrean Boar King!

With a lifespan of 10,000 years and a Prana capacity of 10800, it might seem like a lot. But once the Boar King began fighting while activating a dozen Natures, his Prana consumption was akin to a bottomless abyss.

Activating even 12 Iron Grade Natures caused his Prana to be consumed sharply. It was why he refrained from using stronger Natures unless necessary. He simply didn't have enough Prana to sustain such an operation.

Hence, if he were to expend all Prana, it would be considered as if he had stopped using the activated Natures. This meant these Natures would be erased from Astral Chart. That was why the Boar King intended to use valuable Natures such as Internal Inertial Gravity only when he went in for the kill, and only towards the Mammoth Clan.

Astral Chart was an overpowered ability that allowed him to exert his weight across Sumatra as a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast. Through it, he could store and use all Natures. But of course, that didn't mean the Boar King used all Natures.

No, he stuck to a select number of Natures that were practical for his fighting style.

The easiest case would be a Brimgan Empire Royalty. By fusing with the Gold Grade mineral, Rutham, a Brimgan Royalty gains the Primary Nature of Kinesis Deity. This was one of the stronger Gold Grade Natures.

Unfortunately, the Boar King never targeted them. The reason was simple. Kinesis Deity was an accumulative Nature.

A Brimgan Royalty would condense a Spirit Weapon through their Primary Nature and with the help of Gold Kinesis Art, refine them for decades, strengthening them accordingly. The Spirit Weapon's degree of strength was direction proportional to the refinement time and quality.

It meant that if the Boar King were to use the Nature of Kinesis Deity, he would have to spend a decade or longer to refine a Spirit Weapon. But if he were to run out of Prana anytime during the process, the Nature would vanish.

He would have to stock up multiple Natures of the same. Worst of all, the product of this ability was a refined Spirit Weapon, a solid object. Meaning, even if he were to stack multiple Natures of Kinesis Deity, the product would still be a single, solid object.

That was damn worthless.

Instead, active abilities like Internal Inertial Gravity were perfect. When stacked, the resultant boost in strength, toughness, density, mobility, etc. increased exponentially. When activated, they were ready to be used.

The Shock Lizards' Nature of Prana Shock was similar. Though being an Iron Grade Nature, Prana Shock could be stacked, resulting in an exponential increase in potency. There was no use in having the Astral Chart if he were to use abilities that couldn't be stacked.

Moreover, despite the practical reasons, there was a stronger reason why the Boar King avoided Natures like Kinesis Deity. It was because of character. Mystic Grade Pranic Beast or not, he was part of the Empyrean Boar race.

His base instinct towards any situation was to ram through it first and think if something remained behind. Hence, the Boar King typically picked Natures that raised his practical ability to plough through things in the most brutal manner possible.

Even the most exquisite of strategies would fail when more than three Internal Inertial Gravities were activated. So the Boar King did not need a strategy in the first place.

After a couple of days, the Empyrean Boar King got out of the swamp and entered the sea to wash its muddy body. Returning to his human form, the Boar King began to swim towards Fral Island, sneaking into the mine there while keeping his presence hidden to observe the condition of the Free Humans.

'Somehow, their Spirit Containers have been perfectly removed.' He marvelled at the exquisite proficiency through which this had been done.

He casually approached a Free Human and patted the latter on the shoulder, "How is your body feeling?"

"You are?" The Free Human failed to recognise Brangara.

"I was brought here by the immortals just today. I'm new and was curious." The Boar King conversed in the same manner as the rest of the Free Humans in the mine, whispering a second later, "I heard everyone here is no longer able to feel their Prana. Is that true?"

"Why are you asking about that?" The Free Human groaned in pain, "After I lost my Prana, my body aches. I no longer recover from fatigue and muscle aches as fast as before."

"How did you lose it?" The Boar King asked.

"Let me tell you," The Free Human sighed and said, "The immortals called my group outside. We were excited, thinking there was a reward waiting for our hard work. But suddenly, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, there was no longer Prana in my body. Everyone else says the same."

"Anyway, you should get going. Don't slack off if you want to stay fed tonight." The Free Human offered his veteran advice and resumed his mining work.

"I understand. Thank you, senior." The Boar King thanked profusely and entered another area, mingling with the group there, hearing a similar story. A day later, he managed to ask around most of the groups, frowning at the result.

'Somehow, they lost their Spirit Containers. And shockingly, the Cooter Clansmen responsible for that disappeared mysteriously.' He analysed, thinking of Inala's abilities, 'Loot extensively made use of her abilities, huh? Does that mean at some point in time, the Cooter Clansmen on this island were replaced by their clones made by Loot? Also, what abilities did he use to make them?'

The Boar King then entered the sea and looked around, finding a Silver Grade Pranic Beast nearby to interrogate. He didn't have the means to communicate with it as he didn't know its language. Hence, it was hard until they established an empirical means of communication.

'Wittral is Inala's lover?' The Boar King frowned as he stared at the Silver Grade Pranic Beast, "You made me waste so much time just to hear this piece of information?"

"Are you fucking sane?"
