853 Infinite Divine Soldier (Part 2)
'This is strange.' Brangara thought as he moved to the side, watching the Infinite Divine Soldier cut his hand off. He leapt a little, turned his body dense, and kicked the Infinite Divine Soldier in the chest, sending it skidding back.
Right as he had done so, a powerful field of gravity slammed into him and forced him onto the ground where Barla had appeared and punched him. She was still charging up an Astral Puncture. She had three shots remaining with her current reserves, so she had to make them count.
And currently, at the 7-Life Stage, the Astral World had lost the passive shielding from Unlimited Predator. Therefore, both Royal Split and Astral Puncture could turn the tide in their favour. They need to play to their strength and achieve it.
Brangara raised his arms and guarded against the attack to skid away. Internal Inertial Gravity protected his body while Subtle Terrain Domination controlled the air to shield against Barla's attacks and the ivory sand to guard against Resha's attacks
'This is pretty strange!' Brangara uttered as Barla kicked him in the face, sending him reeling dozens of metres away. Using the momentum behind the attack, he kicked forward and rushed out, intending to move beyond the range of Infinite Divine Soldier.
But before he could flee, the Infinite Divine Soldier had flickered before him, blocking his path of escape. Resha's External Inertial Gravity locked onto him the instant he stopped, weighing him down, and turning him slower than before. 'This is too strange!'
Upon sensing a spike in the Prana accumulated by Barla, he reacted and moved behind the Infinite Divine Soldier. His body spun as Eddy Blades revved around him like a propeller, rampantly cutting through everything.
'Tch!' Barla had to stop her attack and focus on evasion, as she was the target of the Eddy Blades.
They continued to spin as Brangara turned them into Satellites and infused enough Prana in them to spin for a dozen seconds. Using that chance, he began to regenerate the severed arm while evading bone mist geysers and streams of bone tailing him.
'This is the third time I'm feeling this.' Goosebumps formed on his skin as the pores across his body seemed to open. He began to sweat profusely while his heart rate continued to accelerate. He was actually getting overwhelmed by his opponents. However, he was in a trance, 'This is the third time. It's like a rite of passage for every evolution I experience.'
Death!
The first time it happened was at the Varahan Enclave where he was an Empyrean Boar. When he was captured by the Mammoth Clan and was brought to the then Mammoth Clan Chief, Undrakha, Brangara felt death for the first time.
No, the sense of death he felt didn't originate from Undrakha, but rather from the entity who paraded around as a friend of the Mammoth Clan—the Mystic Empyrean Tentacle, Renduldu. That was his first encounter with death.
His second encounter happened during the Second Major Disaster as the Empyrean Boar King, when he had to face the Royal Zinger. He truly was pushed to the extreme. And if he hadn't planned for the evolution of his children from Tribesmen to Clansmen, using which he evolved, he would have died there.
And now, even as the Celestial Boar, an existence that could currently go against Gold Grade Transcendents, he was feeling the sensation of death approaching. In each encounter, he was a different Pranic Beast.
But strangely, he welcomed it. After all, it was only now he started to become desperate, which was great, for that allowed him to truly harness every ounce of power that remained in him. 'I feel...alive. A single mistake and Barla will destroy an Astral World. I don't have the leeway to commit a blunder anymore.'
"Strange, isn't it?" Brangara uttered as he tanked another punch to the face. His severed arm had yet to heal. He was in human form. Most of his body was still a charred mess. And his Pranic Beast forms had yet to recover enough to be used.
He truly was at his most vulnerable.
