Chapter 362 You’re First
'All he has done is stack two Prana Shocks and use them to fight.' The Boar King thought as he stared at the fake figure of Virala, 'Is he that confident? Or is there another reason?'
"Look at me here, worrying about a trap." The Boar King chuckled as he shook his head in disbelief, "Since when was I worried about such minor things?"
"I should just ram through things like usual." The Boar King made up his mind as he gobbled a bunch of Pranic Beasts until his belly was full—in his Pranic Beast form.
The Mammoth Clan was busy defending against the swarm of Pranic Beasts, hence not having enough strength to face the Boar King.
As the Empyrean Boar King approached them, the Empyrean Tusks shot shockwaves, having been ready all along. A blast of air slammed into the ground as the Empyrean Boar King evaded it, for a moment frowning as it stared at the crater, 'Why is it so weak?'
Its figure swerved around the approaching shockwaves and noticed that the attacks were way weaker than what it had faced in the past. After dodging the attacks for a couple of minutes, the Boar King reverted to his human form, having finished digesting everything in his stomach by then.
Though slower and weaker in his human form, as it was small, the Boar King had an easier time dodging attacks. He casually grabbed a nearby Pranic Beast and stuffed it in his mouth, digesting it as he evaded the attacks, 'I have enough Prana to go in for a single round of attacks.'
Seeing the horde of Pranic Beasts getting eradicated quicker than he had expected, the Boar King took action, intending to finish his attack before the horde gets wiped out, unwilling to be left alone amid 104 Empyrean Tusks.
He would be forced to use multiple Internal Inertial Gravity to break out of the encirclement if he were to get trapped.
As he continued to run towards the Empyrean Tusk herd, the environment began to change, causing the ground to resemble sand, making it hard to get enough grip to move forward. As a result, his speed slowed down.
Layering atop the sand was water, hindering his movements, further slowing down the Boar King. And finally, intense winds blew his way, intending to stop him before he reached the Mammoth Clan.
"As troublesome as always." The Boar King glared at the figure of Raaha as he activated the Rockatrice's Primary Nature.
Astral Chart—Rocky Intimidation!
A large pillar of rock jutted out of the ground and exerted its presence, breaking the flow of Raaha's Prana. The changing terrain was disrupted, causing its effectiveness to drop as the Boar King's speed spiked in response.
Landing on the peak of the pillar, the Boar King leapt forward, creating another rock pillar at his landing location. This way, he only had to face resistance from the fierce winds blowing his way.
Astral Chart—Prana Shock X6!
The Boar King unleashed a ripple of Prana to disorient the Empyrean Tusks' attacks, following which he made the final leap to close in on an Empyrean Tusk. The space between the two transformed into the depths of an ocean, making it hard for the Boar King to close the gap.
In response, the Boar King condensed the ripples of Prana Shock and unleashed it in the form of a beam to poke a hole through the layer of water. He landed on the head of the 48th Empyrean Tusk and grinned, "Miss me?"
He placed his hand on the Empyrean Tusk's forehead and unleashed a powerful ripple across its exoskeleton, watching blood spurt out of its ears in response.
Astral Chart—Bloody Affection X2!
The spurting blood flowed into his mouth as the Boar King began to digest it, recovering his Prana faster than his expenditure. A shadow loomed over him as the trunk of the 43rd Empyrean Tusk whipped towards him.
The Boar King grinned in response as he swerved to the bottom of the 44th Empyrean Tusk's tusk, using it as a shield to tank against the 43rd Empyrean Tusk's trunk lash. The two Empyrean Tusks groaned after attacking each other as the Boar King grabbed the 43rd Empyrean Tusk's trunk and transmitted powerful shockwaves up its body, causing it to stumble back in response.
The ground rumbled as the 43rd Empyrean Tusk collapsed, raising a dust cloud. As it formed, the Boar King leaped into the dust cloud and used it to cover his tracks. He targeted the 44th Empyrean Tusk's knees and caused it to buckle in response.
A couple of seconds later, the 44th Empyrean Tusk collapsed on the ground and raised another dust cloud. Two more Empyrean Tusks fell following that, creating a blockage between the stronger and weaker Empyrean Tusks.
Breaking through the sound barrier, the Boar King leapt out of the dust cloud that had grown large enough to mask the bodies of even Empyrean Tusks. He made a beeline towards the rear end of the herd and noticed the presence of Harrala, "Ah, the successor of the Empyrean Tusk that killed me."
"Harrala, was it?" The Boar King revealed a gluttonous smile, as he would easily obtain another Internal Inertial Gravity by swallowing Harrala, who was a mere child.
"Stop!" There was a grunt, following which the Boar King noticed his speed slow down alarmingly, tugged by a powerful force of gravity. Soon, there was the figure of Resha hovering above him, following which a hammer slammed into him.
The Boar King turned around promptly and extended his index finger, unleashing three ripples right as the hammer came into contact with him. He was able to naturally unleash ripples in the hammer's resonant frequency, a result of which it shattered upon contact.
As the head of the hammer shattered into pieces, the Boar King stared at the figure of Resha, opened his mouth, and bellowed, "Wraaah!"
Shockwaves blasted out of his mouth and sent Resha flying. But a moment later, locking onto his body with External Inertial Gravity, Resha charged towards him like an object retracted by an elastic string.
'Indeed, this ability of his is annoying.' The Boar King thought and gathered Prana at his mouth. As Resha made preparations to defend against another shockwave, he spat out a Mud Ball.
Astral Chart—Mud Ball X4!
Resha was transformed into a sculpture of mud as the Boar King slammed a shockwave into it and sent it hurling far away.
His figure then landed on the head of the 102nd Empyrean Tusk, following which a rocky pillar encircled its neck like a choker, unleashing the effects of Rocky Intimidation that rattled its mind. The Boar King slapped its head from the side by layering six shockwaves on his palm, sending it too reeling into the ground.
And through the wounds formed on its body, blood gushed out in a torrent and flowed into the Boar King's mouth, who swallowed it and clicked his tongue, "As I thought."
He stared at the Empyrean Tusk herd and commented, "The lot of you are weakened for some reason."
"It's perfect for me." The Boar King grinned as he landed on another Empyrean Tusk, evaded a bunch of attacks, and sucked in its blood too, "It's very dilute, not as tasty as usual."
His figure landed on the 104th Empyrean Tusk, using it as a cover to avoid projectile attacks from the stronger Empyrean Tusks as he leaped towards Harrala, watching a Rockatrice appear before it and launch a series of punches at him. Blades of light formed amidst them and targeted him, causing him to think, 'That's the Silver Mystic Tentacle's power.'
He stared at Yahard Tusk and grinned, scaring the latter, "I'll eat you shortly. But first,"
A rocky pillar jutted out of the ground as he landed on it and changed direction, taking on his Pranic Beast form to break through the sound barrier and gobble a bunch of Mammoth Clansmen, one of whom was the fake Virala, "You're first."
