Chapter 523 Raze It! Raze It All!
?No one in Sumatra had the gall to challenge the Boar King. Even pinnacle powerhouses like Raaha and Geugeu only intended to defend against the Boar King.
Brandal Brimgan wanted to fight the Boar King, but that was only to broaden his horizon, knowing full well that he wouldn't survive the fight. At least in Sumatra Chronicles, Yarsha Zahara schemed against the Boar King, but judging by the Mammoth Clan's annihilation, whatever she had planned hadn't taken effect yet.
Of course, how could anyone face an existence on Sumatra that was capable of killing literal Transcendents? It was a futile thought process.
In the present timeline, seven people dared challenge the thought. And they were the seven Mystic Paths, each carrying a certain objective towards their ultimate goal—to end the Boar King.
But, from Virala to Orakha, none truly had made plans to kill the Boar King. No, they weren't confident in killing him until they attained their endgame build, which would only be completed during the Fourth Major Disaster.
Therefore, whatever they schemed until then would only be to stall the Boar King. Even Inala's plans were only laid to stall the Boar King as long as possible. After all, even his Sandy-Grey Bombs didn't have enough power to kill the Boar King.
Resha never intended to wait until the Fourth Major Disaster. Technically, his build would reach endgame potential too, allowing him to contest against the Boar King. But, there was one problem here.
No one apart from the Mystic Seven would pose a threat to the Boar King. That was what Resha believed. He didn't know about Wittral and Maroppa coming to the Mammoth Clan's side, but even if they were added to the mix, nothing would change.
They'll all be busy fighting Yarsha Zahara. Hence, at the end of the day, it was up to the Mystic Seven to deal with the Boar King. No other variable would be able to affect him, for at the 10-Life Stage, the Boar King was capable of brushing off all Influenced Regions.
The risk was too much. Unlike everyone, Resha fought an endgame Boar King. He knew how terrifying that entity was. Forget despair, that was perversely hopeless. Even despair was cute compared to what he felt at that moment when the strongest of his attacks—that was capable of shattering mountains—failed to even scratch the Boar King.
Therefore, the best time was now. Thanks to the eye's attack, the Boar King's cultivation dropped from the 3-Life Stage to the 2-Life Stage. At this level, the Attributed Region posed a serious threat to his life.
Resha wanted to use that. Whether he dies in the process or not is relevant. As long as he manages to kill the Boar King, he'll be content with the price.
It wasn't just that. He had backup plans for the scenario of the Boar King arriving in advance—before he obtained the Attribute. And now, he was using it. His intention?
Use the Boar King to make a beeline to the Attribute!
"Choose!" His voice reverberated powerfully in the region as Resha sped through the flight of stairs and arrived at Compartment 10-K.
The Brimgan Royals excelled at ranged fights. And now that they could assume flight, it was impossible to target them anymore.
"Come at us with all you got!" Fstoll Brimgan said and increased the strength of his hold, gradually beginning to crush Yarsha Zahara's head, "I'll make you witness your wife's death."
"Fucking Bastards!" The Boar King's figure skid to a stop before the corpses of Yaha and Hara. He gently scooped up their crushed bodies, words failing to form in his mouth. He was choking, unable to bear seeing his family reduced to such a state.
He had a choice now. Either he chases after his remaining kids or goes after his wife. Resha was in the Attributed Region, so it wouldn't be easy to snatch his children from him quickly. On the other hand, the Raid Team was in the sky, out of his reach, with them continuing to build up altitude.
He would have to unleash thrusts from his stomach biome to chase after them, but in terms of manoeuvrability, he was outclassed in the skies. There were twenty turbines attached to the ship, able to fine-tune its movements with both speed and accuracy.
With the distance between them, even if the Boar King propels himself at supersonic speeds, the Raid Team had a few seconds to react. And to a Brimgan Empire, that was long enough to chill and have a lengthy discussion.
Kinesis Deity evolved to function in high-paced situations. The Brimgan Royals' reaction speed and ability to perceive fast-
moving objects were the highest in Sumatra. Therefore, getting back Yarsha Zahara from them successfully would also take time.
Worst of all, to pressure the Boar King into making a choice, both parties were inflicting horror on his wife and kids respectively.
"I...might go mad if I do this. But, I have no other choice." The Boar King took a deep breath as he shed tears, using a stored Nature to burn the corpses of his two daughters, "Please forgive your lacking father. If there's another life and I'm blessed to have you both as my children once again, I promise to treat you better."
"My remaining family, I'll rescue them, no matter the price. I, the Boar King, am unworthy of my title if I fail to protect my loved ones." He slowly got up as the air around him trembled, generating thunderclaps. From one to two to four, it continued to increase.
Amidst the incessant thunderclaps, the Boar King stood, generating a volume of presence that continued to grow, quickly surpassing his previous 3-Life Stage presence as his stomach biome had fused with the eye's blood and become exceedingly stable.
Air revolved around him due to the field of gravity his mass naturally generated. And then, he split into two. The body with the stomach biome retained all the activated Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity while the other body received the remaining Natures.
The body with the stomach biome would be his main body, intending to chase after Resha. He grabbed his other body and threw him towards the ship with all his might, "Save here, no matter the cost."
"But if you were to fail..." A moment later, he uttered, no longer having the mood to care about the preservation of life that he had maintained for two millennia, "Raze this place down until life cannot grow on it for a millennium."
"A civilisation that dared target my family will face the consequences of doing so. The deaths won't stop at millions. No," His Prana began to grow into the shape of the Empyrean Boar King, solidifying on its own in response to his growing emotions, "That won't be enough."
"Everyone's dying today!"
