I'll Surpass The MC

420 Inala Vs Blola (Part 2)

Every hit destroyed part of the Transcendent Eater's stalk but regenerated immediately after. The soil quantity dropped down at a steady level as the Transcendent Eater devoured all nutrients in it to generate Prana as quickly as possible and regenerate.

With a plant's vitality, unless it was completely burned, the Transcendent Eater will survive if even a small portion of its root survives. Its carnivorous mouths roamed through the place, intending to gobble up the Empyrean Zingers, only to be met with a volley of Prana Bombs to its face.

Unlike other Pranic Beasts that fainted when Prana was stolen from their body through multiple locations, the Transcendent Eater only screamed in pain but didn't faint. After all, it was more like a plant than an animal.

Of course, it wasn't a plant. It was just a Pranic Beast with characteristics more similar to plants than animals.

A carnivorous mouth clumped upon a batch of soil and clenched it into a sphere in its mouth. Following that, its stalk lashed out like a whip and launched the sphere of mud at the Prana Bomb Dome, intending to destroy it. As long as that happened, there would be light inside, making it easier for it to see and fight.

At present, its Prana senses were failing, for each Prana Bomb absorbed all the ambient Prana released by the Transcendent Eater to sense around, preventing it from detecting anything.

In response to the sphere of mud, an Empyrean Zinger leaped forth with all its strength and cranked its Internal Inertial Gravity to the limit while reverting to its original form. It covered its arm with a layer of Prana Bomb, clenched it into a fist, and punched the mud sphere, shattering it in response.

It immediately took on its miniature form to evade a lunging carnivorous mouth and glided around, unleashing thrusts of wind from its mouth to propel itself around and escape the flurry of attacks targeting it.

In this manner, the Empyrean Zingers kept moving while whittling down Blola.

In the meantime, another batch of Empyrean Zingers worked on reinforcing the Prana Bomb Dome while also extending it underground too.

"Argh!" Blola shouted in pain as when he extended his roots deep underground to gather more nutrients to regenerate his body, the tips of some roots came in contact with the Prana Bomb Dome, losing Prana through the roots.

'There's a Prana Bomb layer underground too?' Blola thought in fluster, 'I've been completely cut off from the outside.'

The Prana Bomb Dome had now become a Prana Bomb Sphere, completely trapping Blola within. He couldn't try to break free as too many Empyrean Zingers were in his way, spewing Prana Bombs at him like bullets.

The severe pain prevented him from being able to think of a way of escape. He was being whittled down as the amount of nutrients in the soil was depleting too fast. Soon, he would no longer be able to generate Prana. Once that happens, he would be killed easily.

While this was happening, Inala's figure flickered around the place as he collected all the Prana Bombs filled with Prana.

Currently, the Transcendent Eater was equivalent to an Empyrean Tusk in terms of the quality of its Prana. Hence, these Prana Bombs would help him with his journey later—where he would head out to reclaim the Quip Tribe.

Blola was strong, fearsomely so, capable of regenerating from all sorts of damage. As long as a small portion of his root remained, he could regenerate back to full capacity in a matter of seconds.

As a result, he was basically unkillable. The only way to kill him would be in one shot that was capable of absolutely obliterating him alongside the region he had taken root in.

As a result, Inala used the Prana Bomb Sphere to cut off the soil supply. Once the nutrients were expended, he couldn't regenerate.

As for the Transcendent Eater's body parts strewn about from the fight? Inala went around collecting them in Prana Bomb containers and stored them in his stomach biome. As a result, the matter within the Prana Bomb Sphere was steadily depleting.

Now, Blola didn't have the option of using his scattered body parts as nutrients to keep fighting either.

With large volumes of his Prana and body parts being stolen every second, there was nothing Blola could do. Once the soil was depleted of all nutrients, the Transcendent Eater was unable to regenerate anymore.

At this point, the Empyrean Zingers shifted strategy. Instead of shooting Prana Bombs with their Sumatra Zingers, they hurled Prana Hands at the Transcendent Eater and stole the remainder of its Prana.

With each Empyrean Zinger controlling four Prana Hands, there were a total of eight thousand Prana Hands grabbing the Transcendent Eater's body. It was brutally uprooted and stuffed in a tiny Prana Bomb container, hammered to stuff as much of it inside the tiny container as possible.

The Empyrean Zingers took turns and used their Prana Hands—their weight cranked up to forty kilograms—to bombard the Transcendent Eater with punches. It was unable to offer resistance, ending up becoming nothing more than a stalk of grass being ground by a pestle in a mortar.

"S-Stop, please. I surrender!" The Transcendent Eater's body vanished as Blola appeared, his face a mess with snot and tears. His body bulged at innumerous locations, an aftereffect of the incessant beatings he had received.

Prana Hands covered his body the instant he took human form. The Empyrean Zingers remained alert, not giving him any opportunity.

"Spare me! We have no enmity!" Blola shouted, unable to sense Inala's presence. He couldn't use his Prana detection methods anymore as he was expended of all Prana. Sight was impossible due to the darkness. Scent wasn't feasible since the space within the Prana Bomb Sphere had a dense scent of the Empyrean Zingers.

And finally, as the Empyrean Zingers shrieked constantly, Blola was unable to even make out where Inala could be by sounds. He still had a trump card where he could burn most of his Transcendent Eater body to generate enough Prana for a powerful attack.

As long as he kills Inala, he can break free of this place. Once he takes root outside, he will become unkillable. "Let's talk! We're brothers, right? Let's talk and sort out our differences!"

Suddenly, his mind went blank when the presence of the Boar King hit him from behind at closeup, at its most concentrated form. Taking advantage of his defenceless state, a hand grabbed his neck from behind and seeped a large volume of Prana inside.

Prime Skill—Empyrean Extraction!

"Uh…gah…gaaah!" Blola suffered, unable to resist, grunting at his last as brain matter gushed out of his orifices. Once he was dead, Inala grabbed his head and extracted his skull. From start to end, he remained cautious.

That's why he didn't simply attack Blola after the latter was captured by the Prana Hands. Instead, he refined some of the obtained Transcendent Eater's Prana into the Boar King's, enough to unleash for an instant.

Through that, he only touched Blola when the latter was unable to react, both physically and mentally. "Now, I obtained the Transcendent Eater's data."

Prime Skill—Mind Slip!

Inala accessed Blola's most recent information, intending to find out how he arrived at the Brimgan Empire, observing everything that happened at the Mammoth Clan during the Fifth Minor Crisis, "Fucking leeches!"

His face then turned pale upon finding out what Virala was capable of, 'He can hide in the Nature Slots of both humans and Pranic Beasts.'

"Shit!" Inala cursed in response, "Asaeya is fine since all her Nature slots are filled. But Gannala still has an empty Secondary Nature slot."

"We're returning, NOW!" He shouted and began to store all the Empyrean Zingers, intending to rush back to the Brimgan Empire.
