Chapter 798: Shut Up! Let Me Think!
Brimgan Empire!
In the darkness of the night, a figure silently scaled past the Lotus Range, her arrival undetected. Darkness expanded from her being, covering her Spirit Weapon range to simulate the conditions of the Sandy-Grey Void.
All light and sound were drowned out in this region. This prevented anyone from detecting her approach using the conventional senses. As for Prana detection methods, they were even more useless, as any wave of Prana touching her was absorbed by the layer of grey sand forming her Human Avatar.
Thanks to the effects of Sandy-Grey Void that she unleashed, even with the Prana part of their Prana-detection means being absorbed, there was no feedback given to the users. They didn't experience any prickles on their skin.
[Wait, something is amiss!]
Brangara's voice resounded in her mindspace as Yarsha Zahara arrived at a stop, her senses heightened to their extreme.
Secondary Nature-Grey Kinesis Deity!
Through it, she could exhibit the effects of the Sandy-Grey Void temporarily, which was immensely potent. After all, it allowed her to touch an object, turn it into the Sandy-Grey Void, and move through it. But a few seconds later, the grey sand would revert to the original object, pristine in appearance, having no traces of her arrival.
The Mudropper's power to create the Sandy-Grey Void was unquestionably dangerous, but it was extremely eye-catching and permanently destructive. However, the Secondary Nature was able to unleash the same effects temporarily, allowing Maroppa to use it as she pleased.
And upon taking over her body, Yarsha Zahara was doing the same. Moreover, with her capability, she had created multiple skills to assist her further.
'Is something wrong?' She stopped in a hurry, covering herself in darkness to blend in with the night surroundings better.
[Seven kilometres to your left, there's a Free Human. Be on guard as I feel he can detect us easily. He turned his head our way the moment we climbed over the wall.]
Yarsha Zahara stared in the respective direction while standing still and observed the Free Human's actions. A few minutes later, her eyes widened in surprise, 'This was merely a theory when I was here. It seems they've succeeded in realising it.'
[What kind of power is it?]
Upon hearing Brangara's thoughts, Yarsha Zahara paused for a moment and replied, 'The one with this Human Avatar has zero combat power. However, they could perceive all manner of stress and strain existing in their surroundings.'
[I don't understand...]
'Basically, when I walk, my body weight is applying a mild stress on the ground. So, a strain in the shape of my footsteps forms, even on rock. This trace will vanish in a fraction of a second, however, in his vision, he'll see my footprints.'
[I see, so if his vision is stress-strain vision is blocked by your power of Sandy-Grey Void, then he'll realise something is amiss. It's a dangerous detection ability indeed. Good thing I noticed his actions and warned you promptly.]
'Yes, had I been a tad slower in reacting, he would have caught sight of my footprints.' Yarsha Zahara nodded, no longer breathing as even that would cause some disturbance in her surroundings. Instead, she relied on the air in her lungs for the time being. 'How do I move from here?'
[What's his detection range? Is it sight-based?]
'I fear it's a mixture of all his senses. So, it's not easy to avoid his detection unless we use Subtle Terrain Domination. But that will leave my Prana traces all over this place. They already have plenty of detection means to notice that.' Yarsha Zahara thought, staring at the Brimgan Empire from atop the peak of the Lotus Range, 'They're completely prepared against all infiltrators. Our only option will be to barge in head-on, but that'll bring everyone's attention upon us.'
[We don't want that. I don't want to face Boul Brimgan where he wields home advantage.]
'I understand our need for secrecy, since that was what I recommended. But with your current strength, do you still need to exercise caution here?' Yarsha Zahara frowned, wondering why Brangara was behaving as such all of a sudden, 'Even Boul Brimgan is nothing before the current you.'
[The Brimgan Empire has remained standing for too long, irrespective of the disasters it has faced. I wasn't the first Mystic Grade Pranic Beast that has rampaged in the Brimgan Empire. Two Mystic Tentacles have attacked it, and despite that, they've stood strong.]
'Are you...serious?' Yarsha Zahara was in a state of shock, 'Did you find this in a ruin?'
[Yes, this information was present in the previous ruin I explored in search of Sumatra Gold. I didn't think much of it back then. However, now that I see the various methods they have deployed here, I've come to realise that the Brimgan Empire has avoided destruction not by luck.]
'Do you think they have hidden methods that can harm you?' Yarsha Zahara asked, only to hear Brangara's laughter echo in her mindspace.
[It would take a 10-Life Stage Royal Zinger to even scratch the current me. Irrespective of what methods they have, none of them can harm me. However, I don't intend to take risks, especially because of the existence of the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Linked Rupture.]
