Chapter 1038: Not YOU Too!
“How DARE YOU?” Zhya roared in anger and unleashed multiple sonic beams to target Ruvva, “Are you out of your mind?”
“You killed our Guardian!”
“Oh, come on!” Ruvva screamed in protest as her figure was sent flying by the attack. She coolly landed on the water and unleashed Prana Shock to push Zhya away this time, “If you could control him, I wouldn’t have done that.”
“It’s literally your incompetence, isn’t it?” She kicked the water and used Prana Flash to approach Zhya, cranking her hand to the back in an effort to unleash a straight right. Before she did that though, Ruvva eyed Zhya’s appearance, ’This woman!’
Zhya’s actions screamed at the fact that she was brimming with rage, whether it be her face, her body language, or the sheer spikes her presence displayed. It felt like she would go to war.
However, Ruvva felt as if Zhya wasn’t the slightest bit angry. Instead, she seemed chirper, as if things were going her way, ’What exactly does she want?’
A few minutes of nonstop exchanges later, Ruvva could state with assurance by now that Zhya wasn’t in the slightest bit angry at her, ’She hasn’t tried to kill me even once. Her attacks seem devastating, but they just seem like that.’
’It’s like…how an adult would play fight with a kid.’ The shockwaves Zhya was releasing felt like a mixture of Tangible Piezo Slips and Perfect Biome Domination cranked to the destructive limit.
However, they didn’t have any substance to it. All they did was send Ruvva flying away time and again. Blood splashed nonstop from Ruvva’s body, but the injuries weren’t in the slightest dangerous.
Ruvva could casually reclaim the blood, since it was pretty much her Spirit Weapon. And as she continued to fight, her eyes shot to the Brimgan Royals who were spectating the battle, ’Ah, I see. So, that’s what’s going on.’
[You’re not fast on the uptake, huh?]
As if waiting for her to realise, Zhya communicate to her using a Tangible Piezo Slip amidst an attack.
“That’s what happens when you try to invade the Brimgan Empire!” Ruvva roared and unleashed a Prana Shock. During the attack, she sent a Spirit Container cluster flying into Zhya’s mouth, which was an Information Slip recorded with her reply.
[There’s a lot on my plate now. And I never knew Yamahara was in my Empire.]
Ruvva felt a mild lag in the attacks from the other party. And soon, a reply appeared in the form of a Tangible Piezo Slip. Externally, a tsunami occurred in the Brimgan Sea thanks to Zhya’s attack.
[It was the safest choice back then, still is. Only the Brimgan Empire has enough defences to prevent any external party from figuring it out. Also, in the case Yamahara ever breaks out prematurely, you have the means to stop him.]
’So, that’s why.’ Ruvva thought and then asked.
[Are you not angry at the fact I killed Root?]
The moment she asked it, Ruvva could swear she almost heard a chuckle escape from the other party’s mouth.
[Why would I be angry? I am aware Brangara created Yamahara as a Mystic Path inheritor. Considering what I saw at the Abode of the Mystics, it seems the Mystic Paths are activating. I thought they would spontaneously activate and that was it, but things are playing out differently.]
A pause later, another Tangible Piezo Slip touched Ruvva.
[The Mystic Path was causing Root to act crazy. So, I’m actually glad you killed him. Thankfully, it seems he realised it too, which is why he didn’t resist after tasting defeat.]
’Then, how long do we need to keep up with this fiasco?’ Ruvva communicated her thoughts to Zhya, expressing her worry, ’Somehow, Virala’s mind has been taken over by Brangara. I need to hurry over to the Dralh Sea and check on that.’
’And I also need to make some insurance against the chessboard.’ She groaned in response.
[Put up with it for a few more minutes. I need to make a show for the Quip Clan too. Otherwise, they’ll truly take up arms and make a mess of the situation. Only I am aware of the Brown Mystic Path. And only the Echoes know the truth behind Root’s identity. So, this is necessary.]
“This is a warning!” Zhya stopped after a few minutes, glaring at the figure of Ruvva who kneeled on the Brimgan Sea in exhaustion, “I know we hadn’t communicated our intentions properly. However, Root had only arrived with good intentions towards the Brimgan Empire. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just used a couple of Natures to fight.”
“WE will stop here.” Zhya snorted, turned around, and jumped on a Homing Satellite in the shape of a fish that merged into the water of the Brimgan Sea and vanished.
Swoosh!
Just as the Brimgan Royals intended to give chase, Ruvva raised her hand and stopped them, “The fault indeed lies on our side.”
“What do you mean, Guardian?” A Brimgan Royal asked in exasperation, “Root invaded us…”
“No, it wasn’t an invasion.” Ruvva grumbled and shook her head, “There was another reason.”
“What is it?” The Brimgan Royal asked in a hurry.
“You needn’t know.” Ruvva snorted, got up, and dusted herself, “I will be informing the Emperor about this. The decision whether or not to disclose the details to you guys will be his.”
“Then, we will wait patiently.” The Brimgan Royals bowed in response. A pause later, one of them asked, “What do we do to the Quip Clansmen from the port? We tied them all up and were planning to execute them.”
“Set them free, after a stern verbal warning.” Ruvva waved her hand, “They miscommunicated with us, and in response, I killed Root. So, we’ll have to drop it at that. Otherwise,”
“They will seriously consider letting Root loose.”
Ruvva just wanted to put the event behind her. She used her Skill of Prana Flash and began rushing towards the Dralh Sea, “Take care of things for the time being.”
“I’ll return soon.” The Brimgan Royals were aware of the distress signal sent to fetch her. After all, they were the ones who relayed it to her in the first place.
Since Root was dealt with, there wasn’t any immediate threats to the Brimgan Empire. Therefore, the Brimgan Royals who could currently take action were enough. They had already been mobilised throughout the Empire, with most of them concentrated across the Lotus Range to be on guard against external threats.
They will maintain full alertness until the Brimgan Emperor returns to take up office in the throne room. Until then, it was up to them to protect the Empire.
Ruvva wasn’t sure how long it might take. However, she was expecting great changes. By the time the process ends, the Brimgan Empire would be gaining an eternal protector in the form of Orakha as the Brimgan Guardian.
Boul Brimgan would soon take up the same spot too. That meant they had two powerful Mystic Grade existences to rely on at all times.
Moreover, the Rirenal they had meant many more would eventually follow suit. Maybe not from the present generation. But her child, born between her and Boul Brimgan, would definitely be able to handle Rirenal and reach the peak.
She looked forward to that future. Of course, until then, she had to constantly be on the move whenever a pressing situation occurred, such as now. ’Dammit! One after another, they’re happening without breaks!’
She downed a bunch of High Grade Elixirs and watched her Prana levels recover slowly. She was burning through a lot of Prana to move at high speeds using her Skill of Prana Flash.
As she continued to move, Ruvva soon entered the Cooter-Brimgan Channel, getting relays from the towers stationed along the trade route about the state of the Mystic Humans. ’Okay, thank goodness that he’s not doing anything and is just sitting idle.’
’He will probably take action once I arrive, since I’m the only other Mystic Human with Mystic Grade strength.’ At the very thought, her stomach churned in tension. Facing Root alone made her helpless.
She was literally treading on thin ice. And now, there was a greater crisis awaiting her at the Abode of the Mystics. ’It’s literally his body, his build. Even though he doesn’t have any Natures to use, he has the Ewworm form, whose tool is a close alternative.’
The Empyrean Boar King had a voracious appetite. Unlike in Root’s case, a Mystic Human Empyrean Boar King had the capacity to digest her blood, even if with difficulty.
’I don’t have a solution to it. Hopefully,’ She patted her stomach to focus on the Mystic Human Stamp, ’Hopefully, he hasn’t claimed them yet. Only in that case will I have a chance to use it successfully.’
Swoosh!
“Who’s there?” Ruvva suddenly arrived at a halt and unleashed a shockwave towards a bush at the shore of the Cooter-Brimgan Channel. The Prana Shock destroyed the bush and revealed a Parute Tree, which wriggled and turned into Blola.
“Hello there,” Blola waved his hand at Ruvva, “Fancy seeing you here.”
“Not you too,” Ruvva began to sweat buckets now, ’Shit! What does he want now?’
