Chapter 357 The Boar King is Coming!

Running alongside the banks of the Red-Draft River were the duo of Virala and Blola. This was the simplest way to travel and avoid getting lost in the wilds of Sumatra. As long as they proceed in this route, they will eventually come across the Brask Channel. n(.Ove1BIn

From there, they could head towards the Dralh Sea, followed by the Vrumsh Channel, and eventually arrive at the Brimgan Sea. In terms of distance travelled, this route was very long, reaching to about 20,000 kilometres from their current location. It was a roundabout travel path.

If they were to travel through the land route, there were paths ranging from about 6,000 kilometres to 10,000 kilometres. But the risks were high and they could always get lost while navigating through the dangerous Pranic Beast territories.

Hence, though it might take longer, it was best to travel in the safest path possible, especially to avoid getting stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Gold Nature Weapon—Artillery!

Gold Nature Weapon—Tusk!

Virala kept these two equipped, for they were versatile enough to solve all situations. The Gold Nature Weapon of Tusk granted him the Nature of Internal Inertial Gravity, allowing him to cover long distances while expending the least possible amount of energy.

It also gave him a robust body, capable of tanking the strongest of attacks. This body of Virala was at the peak of the Body Stage. Hence, it retained the full extent of an Empyrean Tusk's capabilities. Moreover, it was also equipped to ensure Virala didn't run into the Boar King.

The Boar King was always on the move through Sumatra Continent, as depicted in Sumatra Chronicles, and as witnessed in the current timeline. Hence, there was a chance Virala could run into the Boar King, which was why he equipped the Gold Nature Weapon of Tusk.

This way, if the Boar King were to approach him, he would know well in advance. Other than that, the Gold Nature Weapon of Artillery granted him the Nature of Bone-Melting Artillery, the power of a Centinger upgraded to Gold Grade.

No matter how powerful or how numerous the threat got, Virala could transform into an Empyrean Tusk and rain hell on the region with an artillery strike, devastating everything until not even a hair of the enemy remained.

These two Nature Weapons were a powerful combo and the strongest in his arsenal at the moment. 'If only there was a way to extract the Secondary Nature of a Millinger, I'll truly be unstoppable.'

The Millingers possessed the Secondary Nature of Inhibition Dome, which rendered all emission-based abilities reliant on Prana useless. With that, Virala would be able to erect a domain around him where he was invincible.

Unfortunately, Inhibition Dome was a Secondary Nature. Meaning, it couldn't be extracted through Weaponisation.

Whether it was Weaponisation or Voracious Nature, they were only effective on targets with a single Nature. Meaning, they could only extract Primary Natures of the target in the case they possessed only that.

Hence, it was impossible to obtain the Natures of Mutated Pranic Beasts. Otherwise, the Millingers would be the most targeted by the Boar King, considering how powerful their abilities were. It was the same for Virala too.

'I need to work towards that.' Virala thought, 'Maybe there's a way I can destroy a Pranic Beast's nature after occupying one of its slots. As long as I succeed in that, I can obtain the Natures of even Mutated Pranic Beasts.'

"This will take forever," Blola said and transformed into the Transcendent Eater to take root and absorb large quantities of nutrients from the soil. Once he felt satiated, he created a bunch of Parute Fruits, harvesting them to the side, following which he reverted to human form. "Here, take these."

"Thanks," Virala said and munched on a bunch of Parute Fruits. He wasn't in the least flustered about consuming them, for they were no different from the Parute Fruits found on Parute Trees.

Consuming 100 Parute Fruits granted a unit of Prana. Similarly, there were Parute King Fruits, and the consumption of each granted a unit of Prana. Blola was able to create both of them, since they were all created by unevolved hatchlings of a Transcendent Eater.

Transcendent Eaters lived in the Transcendent Worlds. Some tendrils of their roots extended beyond them and were birthed on Sumatra Continent as Parute Trees. The case was the same on other Continents too.

It could be stated that all Parute Trees on a Continent were derived from a single Transcendent Eater.

"Your ability is a literal cheat." Virala said in awe as he ate more Parute Fruits to help in the development of his biomes, "You can create wealth on par with a Kingdom on your own."

"If you had known about it, would you have raced towards the Parute Seed first?" Blola asked.

"Nope, that's not my style." Virala shook his head and caused his moustache to wriggle in response, "It's not fun if there's no challenge. And I love a challenge. My abilities can be changed once I get bored of them, so things will always remain fresh and interesting."

'Spoken like a true fuckboy. You're the type to get bored with a woman quickly, no matter how interesting she is. Seems you have the same mentality towards everything.' Blola thought and didn't voice his remark out loud. He continued to run until he spotted a mineral-rich region, where he transformed into a Transcendent Eater, took root, and consumed a voracious sum of resources to grow in response.

To avoid leaving behind blatant traces, he controlled his consumption. Otherwise, by sucking in dry all resources in the region, he could reach the peak of the Body Stage—for his current body—overnight.

"What do you think the others are planning?" Blola asked in concern, "Orakha might already be at the Brimgan Empire by now. Inala too might be there."

"Are you able to extract any information regarding them from the Transcendent Eater?" Virala asked.

"Nope," Blola shook his head, "The stronger the reincarnates get, the greater their information is protected by the Transcendent Eater. Recently, I've only been able to get useless information regarding them."

"The abilities of Inala and Orakha are constantly evolving. So, I fear our information regarding the two is already outdated." He concluded.

"That leaves the remaining three." Virala said, making predictions, "Resha and Grehha are working together. I don't think they plan to leave the Mammoth Clan anytime soon. That leaves Yennda, who isn't much of a concern."

"Yeah, our bodies back at the Mammoth Clan will keep him in check." Blola nodded, "So, only Inala and Orakha are our enemies. Both are pretty troublesome."

"You think of ways to outwit Orakha." Virala smirked subtly, "As for Inala, I'll take care of him."

'He has two women accompanying him. Things will be easier than expected once I approach them.' He grinned. But a couple of seconds later, his face froze up as he announced in alarm, "The Boar King is heading in our direction."

"When will he get here?" Blola asked, getting ready to commit suicide in the worst-case scenario.

"At his current speed, it'll take him six days." Virala calculated based on the rate at which the fear drew close, "It seems there are too many obstacles along his path, and his route isn't a straight line. But this is concerning."

"What is?" Blola asked, getting worried upon noticing Virala's face turn pale.

Virala closed his eyes and focused all his attention on Internal Inertial Gravity, transforming into an Empyrean Tusk to get a more accurate feel. Thirty minutes later, he reverted to human form and muttered in disbelief, "How the fuck did this happen?"

"Don't keep me in suspense!" Blola shouted in alarm, "What happened?"

"We're his target!" Virala shouted with a trembling voice, "Fuck! He's able to track us somehow!"
