I’ll Surpass The MC

’Shit! How am I supposed to escape from this situation?’ Blola thought in worry as his roots dug deeper into the ground and tried their best to absorb as much minerals as possible. After all, the Boar King was rapidly devouring all the blood being generated in his Transcendent Eater form.

The roots surged into the tunnel formed by Gannala underground as stalks jutted into the place, layering the walls of the tunnel. Two branches rushed inside, carrying a fruit each. Growing in the first fruit was Yennda while the second was Grehha.

Once the revival process was started, it couldn’t be stopped. An actual Transcendent Eater could pause and resume the revival process as it pleased, but Blola didn’t have that authority. Most of the Transcendent Eater’s powers were still in its possession.

Hence, Blola hid them in this underground tunnel. He currently had two objectives to focus on more than guarding the entrance. First was to ensure he wasn’t consumed by the Boar King.

The moment the Boar King gains the Transcendent Eater’s Nature, he’d know everything about their trump card—being able to revive.

In the worst-case scenario, the Transcendent Eater’s power consumes the Boar King from within and births a genuine Transcendent Eater, unlike Blola’s watered-down version. If that happens, Sumatra Continent would be destroyed overnight.

Therefore, he had to ensure to spread his roots as widely underground as possible and move his Spirit Container through the ends. This way, the Boar King wouldn’t be able to devour him. All he would be consuming is a portion of the Transcendent Eater’s body, which could regenerate endlessly.

Second was to protect the two fruits from Yarsha Zahara. These fruits were the condensation of the Transcendent Eater’s Primary Nature. Therefore, they could be directly consumed by her Human Avatar.

If she manages to come in contact with them through her Human Avatar, the two fruits would fall under her control. Basically, she’ll be able to control Yennda and Grehha once they revive.

Even if the fruits end up getting destroyed now, since she already gained possession of them, as long as she has enough Prana, Yarsha Zahara would be able to revive them.

The only way to stop her in that case was for his other body to revive Yennda and Grehha first. But even in that case, the moment any of them were to die in the future, she’d know at the same time as Blola.

And if she begins to revive them first, then the situation would become disastrous.

Blola didn’t have a complete understanding of Sumatra Gold, but he did manage to glean some info about it. And in the battle happening right above his body, Yarsha Zahara was playing a pivotal role, able to absorb all attacks unleashed using a Nature.

Even he was able to understand that Yarsha Zahara could absorb and gain possession of the effects of any Nature she came in contact with. Hence, he was nervous, trying to buy time until Grehha and Yennda were revived. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt

“Spamming Natures is fun!” The Boar King laughed as he continued to drink the Transcendent Eater’s blood and generate enough Prana to spam attacks at his targets.

The region was now littered with mountains created using the Rockatrice’s Primary Nature, suppressing his enemies. Direct attacks were done using the Centinger’s artillery strike and when anyone got close enough, their blood was absorbed.

The Decaleech’s Nature acted as both the final layer of offence and defence, allowing the Boar King to have a solid ground to fight with.

The sky was littered with both the spikes from multiple artillery strikes and meteor showers. With a surplus of Prana, the Boar King could remain recklessly on the offensive, making it impossible for his enemies to reach him through the rain of attacks.

A golden feline charged up enough Prana and unleashed a beam towards him. Immediately in response, followed by a pulse of Prana, Yarsha Zahara appeared before the beam and tanked it using her kite-shaped Spirit Weapon, absorbing the attack.

She stored it in her Minor Treasure of Lunchbox, intending to use it when necessary.

“Have some more,” The Boar King said and caused a litre of Transcendent Eater blood to float before Yarsha Zahara, “It’s very rich in nutrient content. You can recover Prana faster with this.”

“I’m already at full capacity,” Yarsha Zahara said and patted her stomach, “I’m bloated now.”

“Don’t you need to fill up that one?” The Boar King stared at the golden feline she was riding, “It can serve both as a mount and a reserve of Prana for you, especially since your weakness currently is your limited Prana. You can make up for it with Lunchbox, but don’t be careless.”

He stared at the figure of Boul Brimgan joining hands with Geugeu, “These two are going strong even when I’m spamming attacks.”

Geugeu had transformed into a thundercloud, using Mystic Mist Art to steal the reserve of blood gathered by the Boar King from time to time. He consumed it to replenish his Prana and also supplied it to Boul Brimgan and the Raid Team.

Bronsk Brimgan had taken charge of the Raid Team, leading them to keep pressure on the Boar King while simultaneously tanking all the ranged attacks he was unleashing.

“Not yet,” Yarsha Zahara grunted when the golden feline jerked once, “It’s still resisting my control. You can feel that mysterious power brimming from him too, right? That’s what is resisting my Nature.”

‘He fused with the Major Treasure of Deity.’ Watching the battle from far away was Orakha, having arrived to take advantage of the situation and possibly steal a few more pieces of Sumatra Gold from Yarsha Zahara.

He was currently at the 2-Life Stage, having fused with a piece of Sumatra Gold each. That was the extent of his requirement, for using any more didn’t improve his strength. One piece of Sumatra Gold per Human Avatar was more than enough, for it was that powerful.

It had already worked in stabilising and integrating the Minor Treasure of Orakha’s Checkpoint, successfully transmitting the effects of his Secondary Nature of Daily Checkpoint through it.

Ten pieces for his endgame build, ten pieces that were used on Brandal Brimgan’s Human Avatar, and one piece given to Virala. Even after all that, Orakha still had an excess of 13 pieces of Sumatra Gold, adding to a total of 34 pieces that he had stolen from Yarsha Zahara.

Currently, the excess pieces of Sumatra Gold were in the belly of a Mutated Gold Grade Pranic Beast, placed there after Orakha fused a piece of Orakha’s Checkpoint in its body. It was a trade agreement. While it stored and safeguarded the pieces of Sumatra Gold, Orakha would assist its race to birth more of its mutant kind.

Mutated Beginner Gold Grade Pranic Beast—Raikk!

It was a Pranic Beast that spent the majority of its life in hibernation, which was dangerous since its home was the Brimgan Sea. Its brethren were only at the Silver Grade. Usually, Silver Grade strength was terrifying anywhere else in Sumatra, but in this blessed land, it was insufficient.

The Raikk lived as a nest where the rest of its Silver Grade brethren—Neikk—laid their eggs, stored valuable resources, etc. It was treated as a fortress. Usually, one Raikk was sufficient for a colony of Neikk. But after the Brimgan Sea dried up, they were in a state of being wiped out.

With too many powerful Pranic Beasts arriving at the region due to the Attribute’s emergence, the Raikk felt powerless to protect its brethren while fighting against its instinct to enter the Attributed Region.

As long as there were a few more Raikk, they’d have an easier time surviving, which was the basis behind which the deal with Orakha was established.

Right after establishing it, Orakha rushed to Yarsha Zahara’s location and observed the ongoing battle. ‘I can send a body to revive next to Virala when I’m killed here. Since I made the deal with him, I’ll make the other body revive beside Ruvva.’

He didn’t know how Virala would react upon seeing the Major Treasure of Deity being snatched by Boul Brimgan, but upon understanding that Virala already had a Spirit Weapon—his Mystic Ewworm’s tail—that could unleash the same effect as the Golden Deity, he concluded that Virala wouldn’t be affected much.

‘It has more value to me than Virala. So, this is more of a loss for me.’ He stared at the level of power displayed by Boul Brimgan, ‘To be honest, it’s perfect in the hands of this guy. He’s able to harness the entirety of its power.’

“Since their enmity with the Boar King is at its highest now, this is for the better. With a Major Treasure in their possession, the Brimgan Empire will be able to fight the Boar King without getting annihilated.” Orakha said and began to gather ink-black fluid with the power of his Compound Human Avatar’s Nature of Selectively Permeable Plasma.

He then transformed it into Mystic Eaters through his Tertiary Nature, forming an army to target Blola. As long as he were to transform the ground into lava, it’d cut off the Boar King from Blola.

As long as a single root survives, Blola could regenerate fully in a matter of seconds, ‘He might be able to understand my thought process.’

As long as Blola escapes, the Boar King will no longer have an endless reserve of Prana to draw from. He would soon be killed by the combined assault of Boul Brimgan, the Raid Team, and Geugeu. “Go!”

His Mystic Eaters slithered at a rapid pace and approached the group, first noticed by Yarsha Zahara. Prana flickered like sparks around her as she targeted the Mystic Eaters, “Don’t assume you can target me…”

She stopped in shock upon watching the Mystic Eaters drill into the ground and vanish right before entering the range of her attack. Her eyes shot towards Orakha in fury, ‘Has he been keeping a note of every single Nature I stored in my Lunchbox?’

Orakha was indeed keeping track of every single ability Yarsha Zahara used and stored in her Lunch Box. Hence, upon observing her action, he judged the ability she was about to use and reacted accordingly.

The ground began to turn into lava as the Mystic Eaters released all the heat they had gathered, raising a lot of toxic fumes in response as the Transcendent Eater’s body began to burn in response.

Orakha watched the lava formation as he reinforced the underground tunnels with an army of Mystic Eaters, meant to protect his target, “Escape, Blola.”
