Chapter 512 A Repulsive Scenario
"Your Highness, Lord Cuck!" Virala reverted to human form and came to a standstill twenty metres before Resha, "Miss me?"
"..." Resha stared at Virala in a daze for a moment before clarity returned to his mind. He bellowed in anger, "Disgusting fuck!"
Resha unleashed a gravitational pull, intending to bring Virala closer when the latter's mass changed abruptly as a worm drilled into the ground. The ground acted as a strong barrier towards Resha's Prana detection, preventing him from sensing Virala's position.
'Ewworm?' Resha was surprised by the transformation, observing that he was unable to detect the latter's movements anymore. Prana pulsed out of his body, condensing the effects of External Inertial Gravity that slammed into the ground and caused shockwaves to course through it.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
There was a pull, followed by an immediate push, looping dozens of times every second. The disruptive shockwave wasn't destructive in the least. If any Pranic Beast were to be underground, it would only feel a mild discomfort.
However, this fluctuation allowed Resha to build a mental imagery of the ground based on the varying levels of density. Soil pattern, types of minerals, etc. He was able to detect them all. And eventually, he was able to detect a minor movement in the density of a certain location, honing in on the place, "There you are!"
A powerful suction force was unleashed as the topsoil flew toward Resha. Amidst the stream of soil was a metre-long Mystic Ewworm, unable to slither away as all the soil that its body was in contact with was being pulled towards Resha.
In response, the Mystic Ewworm's tail transformed into a hook that latched onto Barla, causing the latter to resist fiercely in her Empyrean Boar form. Barla was unwilling to be pulled towards Resha and hence tried to free herself.
Unfortunately for her, the hook had stabbed itself into her tusks and hence couldn't be removed easily. She would have to revert to human form to escape the hook, but doing so was dangerous since sharp projectiles were flying in the region thanks to the tornado.
She dug her hooves deeper into the ground and stopped herself. Using her like an anchor, the Mystic Ewworm coiled its tail to roll up the string connected to the hook and closed in on her.
"You!" Barla glared in anger to see the Mystic Ewworm slither over her body and slap her away, causing her to lose her balance and be sent flying towards Resha.
"That guy is someone desperate to kill your father." Virala's whisper resounded in her ear, enticing her emotions, "He has been creating a weapon personalised to counter the Boar King. If you don't save yourselves, all your siblings will die."
"Shut up!" Barla churned Prana through her body and unleashed Prana Shock, sending Virala flying away. She then hurried to the rescue of her siblings upon seeing them resist the sharp projectiles flying their way once they moved farther away from the eye of the tornado.
"I...am not going to kill my children!" Yarsha Zahara grunted desperately as she felt a tremendous amount of hatred build up in her. She suddenly was distracted by the sounds of Ruvva's crying, causing her attention to focus on the latter.
"This...is..." She felt difficulty in processing her thoughts. After Resha's statement, she realised that Ruvva wasn't birthed by the union of her and the Boar King. She could easily connect the dots upon sensing the frequency of Virala's Prana fluctuations.
The sheltered Yarsha Zahara wasn't able to, but the Sumatra Chronicles version could do it as easily as breathing. She could confirm that Virala had fooled her by transforming into the Boar King to make her birth Ruvva.
'This will keep them busy for the time being.' He targeted Barla and her siblings with the lava and made his escape.
"No!" Yarsha Zahara used the Mystic Eaters she had gained control of to block the lava that was about to splash onto Barla, "Are you alright?"
"Yes!" Barla shouted as she put her siblings—after they reverted to human form—in her mouth and made a leap, jumping onto a piece of land that wasn't lava. But the moment she landed on it, the piece of land fractured and began to sink into the lava that had already spread underneath.
Orakha had used most of his Prana to unleash the attack, for he wanted to buy enough time to safely flee with the pile of Sumatra Gold that he had stolen. Once he rejoins his body near the Golden Giant, he'll be at full strength and could then focus on integrating the Sumatra Gold into his Human Avatar.
With that, his preparations will be complete to enter the Attributed Region.
"Mom! Save us!" Barla shouted, staring in despair to see Yarsha Zahara remain unresponsive. She watched as her hooves plunged into the lava, causing her to scream in pain, "MOM!"
There was a flash of green, following which a bubble enveloped her body, tanking the heat from the lava as it gradually hovered up and carried her. Another bubble appeared at a spot in the lava and began to unleash grey mist that solidified into a platform of bone.
The lava in contact with it cooled down and solidified into stone as the bubble carrying Barla popped, causing her to fall on the platform of bone.
"Resha, calm down." Grehha's voice resounded as grey mist began to circulate through the tornado, turning it grey. And then, it solidified into bone, forming a colossal spiral of bone that reached the sky.
Resha glared in the direction of the voice when an Empyrean Incubator slammed into his face, blocking his vision. A field of gravity protected him from the impact, preventing the Empyrean Incubator from actually touching him.
He swatted it away and noticed that standing before Yarsha Zahara was the figure of Grehha, one whose hand had extended to offer her support.
"Do you mind if I help you?" Grehha asked her as he used a kerchief to wipe the sweat on her forehead, "I know what is happening to you. If It's okay with you, I can help you ease up the pain."
Her eyes shot wide open as Yarsha Zahara observed Grehha. She then accepted his help and got up, asking promptly, "Give me one of those bubbles you made."
"Sure," Grehha replied happily and created a fist-sized Empyrean Incubator, watching the latter use her Human Avatar to gain control over it.
Yarsha Zahara instantly expanded its size and enveloped her head with it, unleashing incessant waves of Prana through it that impacted her. Her Minor Treasure of Storage Lantern activated in response as three pieces of Sumatra Gold were built into her Human Avatar.
A few seconds later, the Empyrean Incubator was expended as Yarsha Zahara's gaze was calm, having stabilised herself. Her gaze moved from Resha to Grehha, followed by the shelter from where Virala and Orakha had fled the scene, and finally, to the six children she had birthed, her mutter filled with a tone of mockery, "What a repulsive scenario."
"It's fitting for a sheltered idiot like me."
