450 The Boar Kings Tears

"Is it this world?" The Boar King muttered, sending the hearts of every Brimgan Royal into the abyss of despair. But strangely, the Boar King didn't kill them. Rather, he crouched low, scooped some lava, and splashed it on his face, treating it as water.

It singed his skin but he didn't seem bothered by it, as it recovered in an instant. Tears streamed out of his eyes as the Boar King plopped to the ground, "My familyis no more."

The Boar King Sobbed!

"Sir Boar King, this was done by" A Royal mustered every ounce of his courage to speak when he noticed that the Boar King's presence covering the entire region vanished. Following that, it was concentrated on him alone, causing his Spirit Container to explode as a result.

He collapsed on the Spirit Weapon carrying him, coughing out blood as he was no longer able to feel Prana anymore. The copious amount of Prana in him that he had built for over three centuries gushed out of him and vanished for good, rendering him powerless.

The rest of the Royals standing on the Spirit Weapon beside him rushed to his support, glaring at the Boar King in response. Now that the latter's presence had vanished, they could move freely once again.

As proud Free Humans, they were indignant about being treated as such by a Pranic Beast, even if said Pranic Beast were the Boar King.

But unconcerned about their gazes was the Boar King, wallowing in sadness. Or rather, he didn't even know that he had crippled a Brimgan Royal. That was just his presence taking action on its own, reacting to the Brimgan Royal who was the sole individual to speak at that moment.

A Spirit Weapon appeared before the group of Brimgan Royals defensively, controlled by the Fentan City lord who motioned them to remain silent. He took the helm and rushed towards Fentan City, knowing that no matter the case, he had to do something, since the Boar King was in his city and had caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

He led the Brimgan Royals towards the lava-covered region where the Varahan Mansion once stood, his gaze solemn, commanding one of the Royals, "Inform the Emperor."

"Only he has a chance in facing the Boar King."

Observing the group headed by the Fentan City Lord was Inala from his vantage point. He stared at the Boar King's figure in shock, able to perceive the latter's figure from so far away thanks to the exceptional eyesight of an Empyrean Zinger.

'There's a body of him here?' He hurriedly focused on his Secondary Nature, failing to sense the Boar King through it, 'That means the body here doesn't have any Internal Inertial Gravity. It's an absurd choice.'

The moment the Boar King splits his body with an uneven distribution of Natures in the Astral Chart of each body, the instantaneous piling of influence would prevent the bodies from combining ever again. That was why the Boar King moved as a stacked whole and never split his body.

If he splits his body for some reason, it had to be killed once the purpose was resolved. Otherwise, Inala's story at the Cooter Clan about the Sane and Insane Boar King would become reality. That was a guaranteed possibility, which was why the Cooter Clan Chief readily bought his story.

'What do I do now?' Inala became flustered, having never expected such a move from the Boar King. And seeing the latter's strange condition only terrified him, 'He's about to explode.'

'Forget the Attribute, that's a lost cause for the time being.' Inala no longer bothered about Virala. Or rather, he had more pressing matters to worry about. 'First, I need to get everyone to safety before the Boar King starts slaughtering everyone.'

His figure moved rapidly as he used four strings of Prana to skittle forth on the ground like a spider, using the long legs to cover large distances rapidly. In under two minutes, he rushed home and stared at the figures of Gannala and Asaeya on the ground. "Get up, we need to flee."

"D-Dad, I'm scared." Gannala teared up, "His presence is dozens of times stronger than my memories of him."

"He seems stronger than when he was at the 3-Life Stage."

"Forget about him for now. Leave some Empyrean Zingers to keep watch of the situation." Inala said and enveloped Asaeya with a Prana Bomb and bent the space within, shrinking it to a miniature form. He made Gannala swallow the miniature Prana Bomb and the two Nature Weapons he had stolen from Virala.

Once Gannala spat out a hundred Empyrean Zingers, he spoke, "Take on your Nature Weapon form. We'll communicate through my Empyrean Slip Prime Skill."

"O-Okay," Gannala trembled, barely able to keep her wits to herself.

[The fear I'm feeling now isn't due to Internal Inertial Gravity, but my predecessor's inheritance. My core being as an Empyrean Tusk is terrified]

[Don't stress too much. We'll think of a plan once we're safe.]

As Gannala read his thoughts, Inala used his four strings of Prana to scurry towards the Brimgan Empire's exit. He placed Gannala's Nature Weapon form in a bag and held it securely, allowing her to communicate with him through the string of Prana that coiled around her.

"Kriek!" He let out a mild shriek and watched the Empyrean Zingers spread out in response. They'll keep watch of the situation and report to him later. Or in the worst-case scenario, they'll hide a Bone Slip filled with all the information in places he had specified through the shriek.

That way, even if they get killed, Inala would be able to know what had happened through the Bone Slips.

The group split into two. The first group spread throughout Fentan City to spy on the Boar King's actions. The second group chased after Virala, having been fed all information regarding his abilities and character disposition by Inala through shrieks.

They'll tail after him and keep note of his actions and position. And if the chase persists, they'll reveal his location to the Brimgan Royals. Virala was currently chasing after a railway that had the three Royals transporting his Nature Weapons

imitations.

So, he was bound to the Capital. Upon knowing that information, they could make plans accordingly and ensure to screw him up at the Capital City.

"Stop!" A guard at the Brimgan Empire's exit shouted upon seeing Inala's approach, "Where's your exit permit?"

"Here!" Inala threw an exit permit that he swiped from a group in the vicinity using Tangible Psychokinesis, "Move! I'm in a hurry!"

The guard checked the exit permit and moved to the side. In that window of time where he grabbed the three the exit permit, Inala changed the information in it to match his. This way, his exit became legal.

His actions would be revealed once they check their database, but that wasn't part of his concern now.

Inala deactivated Tangible Psychokinesis as he had expended most of his Prana. He then sprinted through the wilds, running for two kilometres before stopping, "We're far enough now."

Gannala reverted to her human form and spat out a vial of medicine to help his Prana recovery. Following that, Inala condensed a pair of Prana Hands and captured an Iron Grade Pranic Beast lying prone nearby.

Once it was subdued, he constricted it. He then stared at Gannala, "We'll keep communicating. Be careful."

Inala would be able to observe the surroundings by reading her mind using the Empyrean Slip Prime Skill. Gannala could naturally read his memories. This way, the duo could communicate without issues even after Inala enters her stomach biome.

"I will, Dad." Gannala nodded and watched Inala wrap himself with a Prana Bomb and shrink it to the limit. She swallowed it and settled him in her stomach biome. Following that, she took on her Nature Weapon form and took position in the Pranic Beast's Secondary Nature slot.

Prime SkillGannala!

She modified Virala's Prime Skill to suit her and influenced the Iron Grade Pranic Beast into her mind, character, and disposition. Following that, she exited its Secondary Nature slot, equipped the Nature Weapon of Tunnel to its Tertiary Nature slot, and reclaimed position in its Secondary Nature slot.

Now, the Pranic Beast moved as Gannala and entered the Brimgan Empire by tunnelling a way through the Lotus Range. From a far enough position on the Northern Lakes, she stared at Fentan City with a solemn gaze.
