Chapter 821: A Boar Family Drama
"Father...why?" Brana screamed in despair, "Why did you kill them all? They were the hope of our Clan!"
"Brother Yamahara worked incredibly hard to elevate them into Boar Kings." Powerless, he slopped to the ground, chuckling in helplessness, "I had rushed here with all my might to stop Virala, only to see my respected Father being the one squishing everyone like bugs."
"That...my son..." Brangara intended to make an excuse, but words failed to come out of his mouth, "They were trying to become the Empyrean Boar King. So...I..."
"It's alright, Father," Brana said and slowly got up, his voice choking as he wiped the tears off his face. As a dozen chains approached his position, he used the skill of Prana Flash to avoid them and slowly clenched his hands into fists before raising them.
"Don't do this...son." His eyes were red in regret as Brangara shook his head slowly, understanding exactly what Brana was getting at, "You don't have to do this."
"You might have created the Wean Clan, but who do you think actually birthed the Wean Clansmen?" Brana uttered as his fists trembled, "A quarter of the Boar Kings that you squished just now were..."
"My children."
"My son..." Brangara tried to speak but felt words failing to form in his mouth.
"Raise your fists, Father." Brana uttered as his voice gradually hardened, "I will avenge my kids, even if it's against you."
"We are family!" Brangara said, controlling his urge to cry upon seeing Brana ready to fight him to the death, "I don't want to kill my Son!"
"But you readily squished my son." Prana surged out of his being as Brana's presence continued to build up to its zenith, displaying what a Boar King was actually capable of.
"What...what is happening?" Baga arrived right at that moment, stunned to see Brana in a standoff against Brangara, "Brother, why are you glaring at Father like that?"
"He...killed them all." Brana muttered, "It wasn't Virala."
"The culprit was our Father all along."
"That's...impossible!" Baga shouted in a fluster as he swerved to face Brangara, "Tell me that isn't true, please!"
"W-Where are the Boar Kings? They are just away, right?" Baga stared at the blood dripping down the fists of the Celestial Boar and mashed flesh paste littering the ground, "Right? Please, tell me this is a lie!"
"Virala...! Right, he must have ambushed us! That bastard is very well capable of such shit!" Baga muttered as he clutched his head, "Father...tell me. It was Virala, right?"
"My son..." Brangara felt suffocated, stressed to see his sons in pain, 'If only Yarsha was here, she could have placated them better. I feel everything I do will only make things worse.'
"Please...please deny it, even if it's true." His body trembled as blood dripped out of his nose as Baga clutched his head with greater force, "Otherwise, this...this is too cruel to be true. Let...let me just hate Virala."
He stared at Brangara, "Please! Say you didn't do it, DAMN IT!"
"Brother, get up." Brana uttered as he glared at Baga, "No matter how much you wish to deny, the reality is cruel."
"You're staring at the man who murdered our kids!"
"Is that true?" Braga, the last of the trio of brothers arrived, immediately grasping the situation as he clenched his hands into a fist and raised them in Brangara's direction, "Why did you do it, Father?"
"They were eating each other, dammit!" Brangara bellowed in rageful regret, "They didn't listen to me, no matter what. They assumed I was Virala and no matter what I did, I couldn't clear up their misunderstanding. In the end, they began eating each other up!"
"I had no other choice!" Brangara huffed sharply, "Death is a better alternative than the birth of another vengeful Empyrean Boar King."
"This is a nightmare." Baga cried while Brana glared at Brangara while shedding tears.
Braga's expression straight up turned into one of peace, praying softly as he stared at Brangara, "I know this will be nothing other than us three charging into our deaths. But, it's the price we have to pay for being useless Fathers."
"From one useless Father to another, let's end it here." Baga uttered as he raised his hands and assumed a fighting stance, "Give me a chance to avenge my children!"
"No..." Brangara collapsed to the ground, lowering the strength of the air barrier erected by Subtle Terrain Domination, "I can't fight against my sons! No, I can't! I will not!"
"Actions have consequences. You taught me that, Father." Braga's eyes focused as his presence began to build up, "I am just upholding myself with the values you've instilled into me. Even if it means I'll be dying today, it's justified."
