Chapter 893: Spy X Spy
In recent history, three invasions had been recorded. Brully Invasion, Death Knell Invasion, and Mudropper Invasion. These Pranic Beasts were born when a ginormous Cosmic Being's corpse was assimilated into Sumatra Continent.
It was why their powers operated at a scale beyond the comprehension of the denizens of the Continent. These three Races weren't as 'balanced' when compared to other Pranic Beasts of the same Grade.
In the First Major Disaster, even if only for a second, using the power of a Grim Knell, Asaeya was able to destroy the Empyrean Boar King's senses. No other Silver Grade Pranic Beast's power was capable of causing such a massive effect on Brangara.
Similarly, using the Mudropper's power at the Sanrey Plains, Inala created the Sandy-Grey Bombs, which when detonated created an endlessly expanding Sandy-Grey Void for a day. He had detonated those bombs at the Dralh Sea and the effect was overwhelming.
It didn't make sense that the source of such devastating power originated from a Silver Grade Pranic Beast. One of the strongest Silver Grade Pranic Beasts was the Centinger. And even its power didn't come anywhere close to the feats displayed by both the Death Knell and Mudropper.
The race of Brully was also the same. Its power was self-focused, but that made it even more scarier. After all, unlike both the Death Knell and the Mudropper, Brully was a Gold Grade Pranic Beast.
The quartet of pioneers during the Brimgan Founder's generation created a setup precisely to prepare Sumatra Continent against such invasions and ensure the natives of the Continent became stronger as a result.
And that indeed happened. Death Knell was a scary Pranic Beast. However, its power could be countered by a prepared Shock Lizard. After being targeted once by Asaeya, Brangara had already prepared a defensive means against it, which prevented the effect of Kinked Rupture from reaching him.
All he used for this was an Iron Grade Pranic Beast, Shock Lizard's power. This was merely one of the many other creatures that appeared to counter the powers of the Death Knell. As for Mudropper, it was harder to counter this power, since it was the Sandy-Grey Void itself.
However, there existed Pranic Beasts who could resist the effects of the grey sand. Sumatra Continent's border was composed of a certain substance that was immune to grey sand. There were creatures born out of these whose powers ran counter to the Mudropper.
Of course, the law of Sumatr's survival of the fittest was applicable to them too. Born to counter the race of Mudroppers, they eventually became extinct after Mahira Tusk almost wiped out all Mudroppers.
Moreover, Mahira Tusk herself was an absolute counter to the Mudropper race. And with the Nature of Weaponisation being the innate ability that all Mammoth Clansman could obtain, if Mudroppers were to ever become commonplace, the Mammoth Clan would retaliate against them.
The Pranic Beast races that countered Mudroppers too might make a return. The Quip Clan searched for such races but couldn't find them. However, considering how massive Sumatra Continent was, there were bound to be a few still alive.
After considerable thought in regards to the three Invasive Races, Inala selected the Brully. Since it had happened too long ago, not much about a Brully was known these days. Only the Brimgan Empire had records related to them.
Inala planned to visit the Brimgan Empire in the future. But his first stop was the Varahan Empire as he intended to research upon Vara Human Avatars, 'I believe that is the key to figuring out the means to obtain my Mind path Secondary Nature.'
Moreover, the three Invasive Races hadn't hit their evolutionary limit. In the Brimgan Founder's memories, the race of Brully enslaved Free Humans and turned them into Ravaged Tribesmen.
Maroppa entered the Gold Grade through the same method too. That was enough confirmation for Inala. The Brully too could evolve into a higher variant through the Free Humans. And that was probably the key to obtaining a Soul path Tertiary Nature.
Inala's eyes trailed to the side and focused on DaraBuntara, 'He's currently at the Body Stage. Considering his body has reached maturity, there's a chance he was at the 2-Life Stage or beyond before he sustained repeated deaths. That means...'
