Eight months after Virala arrived at the Dralh Sea, at a spot twenty kilometres from the Abyss Ring was the figure of the Mystic Ewworm, swimming desperately as hundreds of ropes made out of Mystic Eaters had latched onto it.
They were dragging an eight-kilometre-tall mountain that sported varying levels of damage. This mountain had once been growing on the back of an Empyrean Snapper. But after the Empyrean Snapper died and its body was consumed, the mountain was left strewn in the Dralh Sea.
There were plenty of such mountains, the largely intact ones numbering over forty. With Orakha's help, Virala had been pulling these mountains to the Abyss Ring, using them to patch up the holes along the ring.
This way, the water between the Abyss Fall and the rest of the Dralh Sea would be cut off, similar to when the Cooter Clan was managing the place, with the Empyrean Snappers clogging the gaps with their bodies.
Since he wished to establish his reign over the Dralh Sea, Virala had to work tirelessly for it. Thankfully, he had Orakha's help. Otherwise, this would have taken him anywhere from ten to twenty times the duration to repeat the same.
The deepest point of the Dralh Sea was at a depth of 22 kilometres. Even the tallest mountain grown by the Empyrean Snappers only reached a height of 10 kilometres. So, without help from the Mystic Eaters, it would have been harder for Virala to search them one by one.
After an hour's worth of travel, Virala reached the Abyss Ring, staring at a sea of mountain ranges occupying the place. Reverting to human form, he leapt across the closest mountain and arrived at its peak, soon spotting Orakha approaching him in awe, "How the fuck are you so fast?"
"The Phells act as my source of Prana. My Mystic Eaters can easily consume their Spirit Containers and gain enough energy to increase their numbers." Orakha commented in pride as he stared at the Abyss Ring which was now a series of mountain ranges built as concentric rings.
He then stared at the mountain pulled over by Virala, "That's the biggest mountain. I'm surprised you managed to pull it by yourself."
"I had to rely on psychokinesis to boost my physical abilities to its maximum." Virala grumbled, "It wouldn't have been possible otherwise. My back still hurts like shit."
"It's not something I can do, so it's still impressive," Orakha said as his Mystic Eaters swarmed the mountain on his command. A large group of them approached the seabed and scooped soil from there and piled them under the mountain.
Slowly, the base of the mountain extended until it made contact with the seabed. The Mystic Eaters executed the work similar to building a Human Avatar, hence they focused on the structural integrity of the place.
Once they were done, the mountain was as stable as having formed there from a volcanic eruption, cooled, and solidified over time.Gêtt the latest chapters on no/velbin(.)com
"It's amazing no matter how many times I see it." Virala expressed his admiration. He worked on transporting the Empyrean Snapper mountains to the Abyss Ring where Orakha built them as part of the region.
Their goal was to create at least three concentric mountain ranges around the Abyss Ring, with a flat plain between each ring. Mystic Humans will live on these flat plains while the mountain ranges will serve as a natural mode of defence for them.
The ones living on the Abyss Ring itself will fight against the Phells and use the endless bombardment to train. It was the best means to accumulate battle experience.
Moreover, the reason Virala wanted Orakha to place the Empyrean Snapper mountains around the Abyss Ring was for one reason—Spirit Pools!
An Empyrean Snapper relied upon Subtle Terrain Domination to absorb nutrients from its surroundings. It consumed some and piled the wastage into a mineral deposit, which became the mountain on its back.
Of the nutrients it consumes, it sets aside a portion that is immersed with its Prana. It would filter them and concentrate a type of mineral across the mountain on its back, forming a Spirit Pool.
An Empyrean Snapper formed various Spirit Pools, allowing Cooter Clansmen to cultivate varying powers, increasing their versatility. If Rutham was available in the Dralh Sea, a relevant Spirit Pool could be built on an Empyrean Snapper's back mountain.
