Chapter 245 Resha is the Regressor
'To think I still fell prey to his words…' Resha let out a long sigh once he came to his senses. He had been honing his ability to hold an argument but despite that, he had yet to win against the reincarnates in a verbal battle.
"Are you alright?" Yahira approached him in concern, pulling him out of the crater. She dusted his clothes and inspected his body's condition, sighing in relief upon seeing that he was uninjured.
"Yeah, master actually treats me well." Resha said and smiled endearingly upon sensing her Prana, "You have grown stronger, Yahira."
"Thanks to your assistance," Yahira clenched her hand into a fist as she muttered in praise, "How did you get such a powerful Pranic Beast's egg?"
"You know the answer," Resha smiled.
"Yes, I know." Yahira laughed jovially, slung her hands around his neck, and pecked him on the lips once, "How long do I need to wait?"
"Until the end of this contest," Resha said, "I want Virala to make a fool of himself."
"Alright, we'll act as strangers until then." Yahira nodded and walked away. Their interaction was soft but revealed that they were already a couple. As to how you ask?
Resha spent an entire lifetime with her. He understood her the best. During the merger, he approached her and quickly established a relationship.
He then imparted upon her a Bone Slip, recording his memories—from his past life—of her, allowing her to understand why he was pursuing her. Well, he just did it to ensure Yahira wouldn't fall prey to the schemes of the fucking reincarnates.
It wasn't needed beyond that. After all, Resha was Yahira's type, satisfying every single expectation she had towards her partner. It was why she was obsessed with him in Sumatra Chronicles in the first place.
In the current timeline, she witnessed Resha attacking the Boar King, falling in love with him at first sight. And when Resha approached her, she was over the moon, happily entering a relationship with him. Upon seeing the memories in the Bone Slip, she realised that they were a couple in Resha's past life.
She had been at Resha's back all his life, supporting him every step of the way, the reason he could endure so many Minor Crises and Major Disasters. And in this timeline, he wanted to give her a better life.
On day one since his regression, Resha noticed the scummy actions of the reincarnates. Even though he didn't have any feelings for Ruvva, upon seeing Virala get chummy with her, there was a sour taste in his mouth.
But he didn't try to sever their relationship, hoping that at least in this life, Ruvva could be happy. Unfortunately, she died even sooner this time.
In Sumatra Chronicles, Ruvva was one of the survivors of the First Major Disaster. She dies during the Second Minor Crisis. But in this timeline, she died in the First Major Disaster. There was no proof, but Resha knew Virala was the cause behind it.
And the bastard didn't even seem the slightest bit saddened by her death. Rather, he had already begun to target his next woman.
Hence, Resha wanted to teach him a lesson. He was the regressor, and it was about time to truly display his dominance in every field.
Currently, Blola was in Raaha's possession. And through him, Raaha had learnt a good deal about Renduldu's arrangements and everything the previous Gannala fought for.
Resha obtained a clearer picture from Raaha, understanding that the six reincarnates were created for two purposes. The first was to deal with the Boar King and the second was to pave the way for the Empyrean Tusks to reach the Mystic Grade.
Whether driven by personal greed or a sense of collective belonging as Mammoth Clansmen, the reincarnates would do their best to find a way. But they would all traverse their respective path.
Whether or not the end result would be different from Resha's past life was a big question mark. One thing was for sure though. All six of them had vastly unique ideas that were bound to create strong variables.
Therefore, whether or not these variables resulted in the Boar King's defeat was all up to Resha's resourcefulness.
The first step of the process was to understand how the reincarnates functioned, especially their thought process. That was why Resha constantly targeted Virala.
He and Raaha were both in on it, for their goals aligned, which were to kill the Boar King and ensure the sustaining continuity of the Mammoth Clan.
Resha would play the bad cop while Raaha would play the good cop. And in this way, they'll gradually put a net around pesky reincarnates like Virala.
Currently, Blola and Yennda were under Raaha's complete control. Grehha and Orakha behaved subserviently for now. Therefore, their focus lay on Virala, the most cunning of them all.
And as for Inala? Raaha already had a plan in motion towards that, having dispatched Orakha for the exact reason.
Resha acted angry externally but was eerily calm on the inside as he exited the tent and returned to his room. He slung to his hip the Six-Storey Storage Lantern gifted to him by Raaha, inspecting its contents to examine the condition of the various medicines necessary to replenish his Prana and heal his injuries.
While making his preparations, he grinned all of a sudden, 'Yahira has grown a lot stronger as compared to her past life.'
The reason for his giddiness was simple. In his previous life, Yahira fused with the egg of an Expert Silver Grade Pranic Beast called the Twi-Shocker. It was a Pranic Beast with masochistic tendencies, capable of converting all impacts sustained by its body into powerful shockwaves that could obliterate its opponent.
Primary Nature—Piezo Response!
Yahira worked hard and eventually developed her Tertiary Nature—after Resha figured out the method to create one. The first time she used it was against the Boar King, which was what managed to successfully injure him.
Unfortunately, the attack was so strong that she herself couldn't endure its backlash and ended up exploding into blood mist.
But in this timeline, things were different since the egg she fused with wasn't that of a Twi-Shocker but its mutated counterpart, one personally caught by Raaha upon Resha's request.
Resha provided the direction, location, timing, and method of capture. Only thanks to it was Raaha able to succeed. The result was the capture of a terrifying Pranic Beast that had now become Yahira's power.
Mutated Intermediate Gold Grade Pranic Beast—Empyrean Thunder!
Once the Twi-Shocker mutates, it reaches the end of its evolutionary path, becoming the Empyrean Thunder. But the eggs containing Empyrean Thunders were fragile, capable of shattering at the slightest nudge.
Hence, Empyrean Thunders fail to successfully hatch. As a result, the number of Empyrean Thunders successfully roaming the Sumatra Continent numbered in the single digits.
Resha knew the location of a nest with an Empyrean Thunder egg. After Yahira fused with it, she obtained the Empyrean Thunder's power, which was perfectly suited to her character.
Moreover, in this lifetime, Yahira had already begun preparations for the creation of her Tertiary Nature. Resha had already imparted upon her all the necessary information that she had gathered in his past life.
He was confident that by the time the Empyrean Tusk herd reaches the Brimgan Empire in this lifetime, Yahira would have finished creating her Tertiary Nature, reaching peak capacity as a cultivator, unrivalled among her peers.
In comparison to Sumatra Chronicles and the current timeline, plenty of changes have happened. But one thing was for sure. Whether it was Resha's side or Brangara's side, there was a drastic leap in strength.
Meaning, when they clash this time, the result would be significantly more devastating.
