I'll Surpass The MC - Chapter 633: Targeting the Snappers (part 7)
?A massive ship continued to sail through the Dralh Sea when Bludders swarmed it, their direction pointed away from the Dralh Sea, as if they were fleeing from the location.
“This is strange,” The 8-Life Stage Brimgan Royal who was in charge of the ship’s safety frowned. He condensed a chakram, using it as a platform as one body of his split and landed on the platform.
Primary Nature—Kinesis Deity!
The body on the chakram turned into a golden giant, able to see, hear, and smell better than his human form. The chakram elevated into the sky rapidly, allowing the golden giant to take advantage of the altitude to see afar, “What the…fuck?”
There was intense mist across the horizon, and from time to time, the heads of Empyrean Snappers lashed out, mid-fight against something, “The Empyrean Snappers are fighting?”
The Brimgan Royal observed the Bludders, noticing their mental state bordered insanity. He alternated between it and battling the Empyrean Snappers, figuring out the answer, “Shit!”
‘The Celestial Boar has targeted the Empyrean Snappers for their Natures!’ He inhaled a sharp breath in shock before roaring at his people, “Alert! Contact the Emperor!”
His Spirit Weapon condensed in the shape of a boat as a group of people boarded it, carrying an Information Slip from him. “Now, go!”
With a grunt, the 8-Life Stage Brimgan Royal threw the boat with all his might—unleashed through psychokinesis. The ship’s wings spread out wide, allowing it to glide across at a rapid pace, making its way to the entrance of the Dralh Sea.
Thankfully, the ship was slow, so it hadn’t travelled much distance from the moment Brangara noticed it near the Dralh Sea’s border. Therefore, the distance the boat needed to cover while gliding wasn’t far. Less than an hour later, the boat reached the mouth of the Cooter-Brimgan Channel.
This was the Channel created by the Empyrean Snappers after the Second Major Disaster when they returned to the Dralh Sea from the Brimgan Empire. As it was the symbol of the Cooter-Brimgan Trade Agreement, the Brimgan Empire reinforced the Channel, ensuring it was bereft of other Pranic Beasts.
Raid Teams constantly manned the place, attacking any Pranic Beast that dared come close. Fortified towers were also erected for the Raid Teams to rest recover, replenish supplies, etc.
At the mouth of the Cooter-Brimgan Channel was a dam wall, blocking the water flow between the two water bodies. This was erected to prevent the Phells from flooding the Cooter Brimgan Channel.
Tiny holes were present in the wall to allow the flow of water through it, but multiple filtration facilities took action during the process. So, the water spilling into the Cooter-Brimgan Channel from the Dralh Sea didn’t have any spores generated by the Phells.
The Brimgan Trade Wall!
It was named as such, with the prime intention being to protect the trade routes of the Brimgan Empire. Spanning a length of 80 kilometres and a breadth of two kilometres, it reached a height of four hundred metres, a gigantic structure of mass.
The boat landed on its top surface, right next to an institutional building as the people within rushed out.
“Did something happen?” The Brimgan Royal in charge of the Brimgan Trade Wall, boating a cultivation at the 7-Life Stage hurried out to meet the people in the boat, aware that such a means of communication will only be used during an emergency.
“Yes!” The messenger nodded in a hurry and presented an Information Slip, “This needs to reach His Majesty, Emperor!”
“What is it?” The Brimgan Royal accessed the contents of the Information Slip and paled in response. He hurriedly condensed a boat, placed the Information Slip inside and hurled it with all his might. The boat glided across the sky in a streamlined fashion and travelled for sixty kilometres before being intercepted by the people in a tower.
“Shit! Relay it! Hurry!” They immediately launched it towards the next tower, transporting the Information Slip from one tower to another across the Cooter-Brimgan Channel. This was their fastest means of communication for the time being.
In the future, once more towers are erected, close enough to be accessed by the Brimgan Royals, information will be transferred to the Brimgan Empire from the Dralh Sea in a matter of minutes.
It was still a work in progress, unfortunately.
Even when the Brimgan Royals threw the Information Slip alone, making it travel like a missile, it still took close to eight hours before the Information Slip reached the Brimgan Empire. Another two hours later, it reached Boul Brimgan.
“I need to go!” Boul Brimgan got up from his throne and stared at his mother, Harla Brimgan, “I need your assistance, Mother!”
Secondary Nature—Minor Treasure!
Minor Treasure—Kinesis Feline!
Boul Brimgan brought out a 3.6-metre-long golden feline as he and Harla Brimgan took a seat atop it. Without wasting a second, the golden feline rushed out of the palace and made a beeline towards the Dralh Sea, “Mother, I want you to take charge once we enter the Dralh Sea.”
“It’s not an issue.” Harla Brimgan nodded, “All I hope is that we’re not too late.”
Major Treasure—Deity!
Boul Brimgan activated it once they exited the Brimgan Empire, causing the golden feline to grow bigger and reach a length of 15 metres. With its bigger size, it was able to run faster, emanating a suffocating presence that thwarted Pranic Beasts in the vicinity from targeting them.
Vapour cones were left in its wake as it had long since surpassed the speed of sound. Seated on its back while assuming their Human Avatar forms were Boul Brimgan and Harla Brimgan. Only then could they resist the friction generated by the wind during their movement.
In less than three hours, the golden feline arrived at the mouth of the Dralh Sea. Followed by a leap, it landed on the Brimgan Trade Wall as Boul Brimgan bellowed upon observing the commotion, “Everyone, stay put! You’ll be needlessly heading to your deaths. Let us deal with this disaster.”
“As for the Royals,” Boul Brimgan nodded a the 7-Life Stage Brimgan Royal who was in charge of the Brimgan Trade Wall, “Lead a team of Royals and make way to the Cooter Clan. Maintain distance and only take action to rescue the two of us if we were to be neutralised, understood?”
“Yes!” The Brimgan Royal had barely nodded when the figures of Boul Brimgan and Harla Brimgan vanished from the place. They were already a small, golden dot over the horizon.
Secondary Nature—Minor Treasure!
Minor Treasure—Kinesis Beyblade!
A tiny, thumb-sized sphere hovered on the water surface, spinning rapidly to remain afloat. Connecting it through a stream of Prana was a large platform, shaped like a disc with curved bladed edges.
This platform hovered at a height of ten kilometres from the ground, propped through psychokinesis. And the source of the psychokinesis was none other than the thumb-sized sphere.
The power of Harla Brimgan’s Minor Treasure of Kinesis Beyblade was to create a tiny sphere that could take her position—as the source of psychokinesis.
The disc acted no different from its Spirit Container, for that was the purpose of the Minor Treasure. And seated atop the disc was Harla Brimgan and Boul Brimgan.
As the sphere on the Dralh Sea’s water surface spun at rapid speeds and travelled on the surface similar to the Bludders, the disc mirrored its movements at an altitude of 10 kilometres.
At this height, the air resistance was minimal as compared to the sea level, making it easier to carry large objects by expending minimal energy.
Harla Brimgan was capable of creating ten such spheres, moving ahead like a ten-legged spider fitted with car wheels.
The spinning spheres distributed the weight they bore across the water’s surface tension, able to move without sinking. This was why Harla Brimgan took charge of moving once they entered the Dralh Sea, for she was faster here.
In the meantime, the fight between Brangara and the Empyrean Snappers became even more intense!
Four Water Lasers slammed into him at the same time, forcing him to prop up his arms to defend himself in a hurry, grunting as his left arm got severed in response. ‘They’re rapidly accustoming to my attacks!’
“Hmph!” With an extension of his neck, Brangara chomped upon his severed arm and swallowed it, digesting it to recover his Prana and muscle mass. He reverted to human form, used Shredded Lunge to approach an Empyrean Snapper, assumed Celestial Boar Form, and swung an Eddy Blade.
“Tch!” A Water Laser slammed into the sides of his Eddy Blade, causing him to miss his mark and instead cut into the shoulder of the Empyrean Snapper.
At the same time, an Empyrean Snapper finished covering its head with minerals it extracted from the Dralh Sea. The condensed substance resembled a crystal, tough to the extreme, and also exhibited intense heat.
With a swing of its neck, the crystallised head slammed into Brangara right as he had targeted an Empyrean Snapper with the Eddy Blade, sending him flying for a hundred metres to the side.
He reverted to human form to regain balance and assumed Celestial Boar form as he plunged into the water, using Drifting Tunnel to head deeper for a few seconds, “Hah…haah! This is tough!”
He switched bodies, giving time for his injured body to recover from the serious injuries. In his Pranic Beast form, his recovery was faster as he gasped a bit, “Facing 52 Empyrean Snappers isn’t easy, even for me.”
He stared to his back, where the extra Tangible Natures were hanging around, seeing that only remained, and it had mostly dissipated too. “That attack was strong.”
Whenever he obtained an Empyrean Snapper’s Nature, Brangara brought out a Tangible Nature of Shredded Lunge and made it hang onto his back. Since he was supplying Prana to it, the Tangible Nature hadn’t been deactivated yet. Meaning, he could use it in the future once he has some free slots.
Seeing twisters form all around him, Brangara took in a deep breath and closed his eyes, focusing on his Astral World to see seven Tangible Natures of Empyrean Snappers, “Man, this isn’t easy.”
His expression worsened once he noticed heat begin to condense at the floor of the Dralh Sea, “Already?”
The Dralh Sea’s Death Hour had begun, which also meant the Empyrean Snappers would become stronger than before.
