I'll Surpass The MC - Chapter 874

Chapter 874: Army Versus Swarm



Kriek!

A Zinger Aristocrat glided across the skies, watching a large river rowing across a flatland. A group of Silver Grade Pranic Beasts were within the water, controlling it, making the river behave like a serpent as they made it flow across the dry flatland.

As the river flowed across the land, the sheer force in its movements removed a layer of topsoil, gradually creating a path for the water to flow like an actual river. Each of these Silver Grade Pranic Beasts spanned a length of eight metres.

Their bodies were shaped like a stingray. A blowhole at the top was added to it, similar to a whale. Moreover, unlike a stingray, it was more vertically elongated with a somewhat conical centre body.

Beginner Silver Grade Pranic Beast-Poulray!

With a Prana capacity of 1380 and a lifespan of 308 years, it was a decently capable Silver Grade Pranic Beast. However, it wasn't suited to fighting due to the structure of its Nature.

Primary Nature-Water Force!

Water Force allowed the Poulray to move the water in its Spirit Weapon range vertically forward. In terms of force, it could output a lot as it could carry the sheer mass of water within the entirety of its Spirit Weapon range.

However, it was limited to one direction alone, a glaring weakness that any Silver Grade Pranic Beast could take advantage of. This was where its symbiotic relationship appeared. Hidden underneath its stomach, latched onto its body without causing any discomfort was a tiny, starfish-like creature. It only spanned a maximum size of a metre, sporting cups resembling a fibre cluster towards the pointy tips of their body.

These were gelatinous fibre secreted by its body, able to be wielded as a Spirit Weapon by this creature. When the Poulray is besieged by a predator, these fibre cups would be launched like

arrows.

Upon piercing their target, the fibres would disperse throughout the flesh of the target and interfere with the functioning of their organs.

Advanced Iron Grade Pranic Beast-Remstar!

They had a Pran capacity of 602 and a lifespan of 40 years. Around three to four Remstar lived on the body of a Poulray. They weren't capable of movement, with their limbs meant only to latch onto a surface.

Their breeding grounds were situated deep within the home of the Poulray, and once born, a Poulray would accept them onto its body. They would spend the rest of their life defending it.

Primary Nature-Prana Misdirection!

The Spirit Weapons of the Remstar would be covered by this ability, which would cause the target body's Prana to avoid treating it as an enemy.

The Prana of every creature would try to heal it from damage, irrespective of what damage it be. Thanks to Prana Misdirection, the fibre arrows launched by the Remstar wouldn't be extracted out of the target body on time.

The fibre would spread across the target body, pierce through the bones, tendons, organs, and whatever was in its vicinity. And the Prana coursing through the body wouldn't try to eliminate it.

Therefore, the targeted Pranic Beast would have to forcefully rip out the fibre strands, which was extremely hard unless they had body parts or an ability capable of surgical precision. These fibres typically coiled around muscle strands, bones, etc. before they tried to harm a body part.

Removing them physically was the only option as the targeted Pranic Beasts' Prana wouldn't work in destroying the fibres. This was what ensured the survival of the Poulrays who were pretty high up in the nutritional ladder and treated as a delicacy by other Pranic Beasts.

Swoosh!

The group of 500 Poulrays arrived at a halt and fell into an artificial lake that had been dug just recently. The lake spanned a depth of sixty metres and encompassed an area of twelve square kilometres.

The river water steadily began to flow into the lake as the Poulrays began to adjust to the new terrain.

But if all the regions were to be destroyed, the Quip Clan would lose a good fraction of its customers. Moreover, it was just a matter of time before the creatures of the Kalahatra Desert would swarm every region until they even appeared at the doorsteps of the Brimgan Empire

and Varahan Empire.

Only these two Empires would be able to survive the onslaught, since the swarm wouldn't just

consist of Forest Boars alone. The Forest Boars were merely the first wave of the swarm. Stronger, more terrifying Gold Grade Pranic Beasts with an unquenchable hunger would

appear next.

Therefore, the Quip Clan had already been planning to amass the fighting strength of every force on this corner of Sumatra Continent and summon them to the Kalahatra Desert.

The races that manage to endure the onslaught and consume the bodies of these Gold Grade

Pranic Beasts had a high chance of mutating, since the swarm was birthed out of the Celestial Boar's body.

If there was a chance to spawn as many Mutants among themselves, this was it. The benefits were tremendous. Moreover, driven insane by hunger, these Gold Grade Pranic Beasts native to the Kalahatra Desert would be weaker than typical Gold Grade Pranic Beasts.

The Red-Draft Agreement was merely one of the many agreements the Quip Clan made. Every single agreement was skewed in the favour of the other party, since those in charge of the agreements were large groups of Gold Grade Pranic Beasts.

Externally, it seemed like the Quip Clan was making a loss. However, that was because they

had skewed the market rate from the very beginning. In truth, they were making marginal profits. They didn't go overboard, for their intention was to help the other races as much as possible, ensuring the customer base wouldn't be wiped out.

Moreover, even if the profit was marginal, this was an endless gold mine. And considering the

sheer number of sources giving them revenue across the Kalahatra Border, the marginal profits eventually collated to a sizeable extent.

Without any loss in members, the Quip Clan was accumulating a good portion of the resources

that would be generated from the Kalahatra Desert.

[Be Ready!]

The Zinger Aristocrat bellowed to alert all the Poulrays upon seeing the Forest Boars beginning to appear over the horizon. It hurriedly shielded itself with a string of Prana, turning into a cocoon, trembling in response as a wave of Presence slammed into the walls.

Shriek!

Zinger Shrieks reverberated across the place, growing in loudness as all the Quip Clansmen became nervous, watching the Forest Boars come into view, one after another.

Tens, hundreds...soon, there were thousands.

The Zinger Aristocrat gazed at the wall, seeing large Pranic Beasts gather to form armies,

most of which were unknown, 'I've never seen them before.'

All the Pranic Beasts in its vicinity were from the Red-Draft River. However, the only Gold Grade Pranic Beasts it could recognise were the Millingers, 'One...two...fifty...holy shit!'

"Just...how many Millingers live in the Red-Draft River?" Assuming human form, the Zinger Aristocrat expressed her shock. And then, she watched the sky become blotted as every single Millinger unleashed an artillery strike.
