Chapter 119: Depraved Human Major Disaster
Spreading out without a semblance of control from the Central Peak Battleship was a thundercloud. Clouds moved from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure.
A high pressure had formed in the region surrounding the Central Peak Battleship. The initial expansion was in a fan shape, ensuring there was one region with a low pressure.
By changing the pressure in the surroundings, it had been made as such the location where the Depraved Human was standing had become a low pressure spot. That meant, winds travelled from high pressure to low pressure, bringing the thundercloud towards the Depraved Human.
And being swept along by the thundercloud was a sphere of lightning plasma spanning a radius of 60 metres.
It was extremely violent, containing enough power to destroy most existences.
On Sumatra, living beings were forbidden from flying. The mere act of flight would cause them to be spontaneously erased. Whether it be flight achieved directly or indirectly doesn’t matter, the cause that generated flight would be erased.
There were some existences that circumvented the rules to the best of their capabilities.
The Brimgan Royals used a Spirit Weapon as an anchor to elevate them to the limit of their impressive Spirit Weapon range. Moving about in the air with the aid of a Spirit Weapon anchor was no different from a person flying a kite.
It wasn’t technically flying. The Brimgan Royals developed this art for the sole reason being their range, which was the highest across Sumatra. Therefore, they could act like they were untouchable deities flying about in the air, far from the reach of other existences stuck on the ground.
Of course, if their Spirit Weapon were to be destroyed, they would lose their anchor and fall. However, a Brimgan Royal’s Spirit Weapon was so fast, they could plant another anchor by the time their first anchor gets destroyed, thereby maintaining a steady altitude without any issues.
In the Cooter Clan’s case, they generally took advantage of the property of clouds. These clouds didn’t fly and instead floated on the water just like ships and boats did. However, as they were gas constructs, winds could set them sail.
Thanks to that, Cooter Clansmen were capable of movement without any Prana expenditure, for the very environment itself was fuelling their travel. And when necessary, they will shape the atmospheric conditions to fit their needs.
At present, intense winds akin to a cyclone formed in the region that rapidly pushed forth the thundercloud towards the Depraved Human. The lightning plasma sphere in its centre focused solely on maintaining its integral structure.
Within the sphere were the five Settlement Leaders who had joined their hands together, pooling their strength for a greater output of power.
The lightning plasma sphere reached the Depraved Human and launched a bolt of lightning to strike the target first.
Ka-Bo-BOOM!
The bolt of lightning streaked towards the Depraved Human, only to dissipate upon entering the latter’s Spirit Weapon range.
’The way it dissipated our lightning strike…’ Bnapbnap uttered with a trace of shock, ’That’s a Millinger’s Inhibition Dome!’
Secondary Nature–Inhibition Dome!
The Millinger’s power that turned all Spirit Weapons useless. The bolt of lightning moved to strike the target under the Settlement Leaders’ will, fuelled by their psychokinesis. It was their Spirit Weapon.
And hence, the moment the bolt of lightning entered the Depraved Human’s Spirit Weapon range, the stream of Prana fueling it was cut off, causing it to dissipate its power radially. Barely a few sparks worth reached the Depraved Human, who merely ended up dusting his clothes in response.
“That’s Lightning Plasma, huh?” The Depraved Human, Raefrag, chuckled casually, “It’s nothing special.”
“Oh, really?” Bnapbnap snorted as the thundercloud wriggled with force and splattered the water, sending a five-metre-high wave rushing towards Raefrag.
“A wave? Seriously?” Raefrag clenched his hand into a fist and punched hard upon cranking its strength using psychokinesis.
The fist trembled at high frequencies, generating hundreds of concentric ripples across the surface of the wave at the moment of contact that synchronised a fraction of a second later to combine into a large ripple and formed a perfect hole.
The hole was large enough for Raefrag’s body to pass through. Casually, he watched the wave move past him, without having to worry about its currents. “Not even Iron Grade Pranic Beasts will die from something like this, especially for those born and bred in the Dralh Sea.”
As he spoke, an intense stream of wind gushed upon him in a straight line. Raefrag expanded his Prana detection means and noticed the atmosphere right beyond his Spirit Weapon range being influenced using Mystic Mist Art, creating a pressure difference.
This resulted in a fierce gale, akin to a jet stream being birthed from the thundercloud that rushed at him. ’Just wind? How do they assume it’s going to hurt me?’
’I see,’ He got his answer a second later, as large boulders sourced from the sea bed were pushed into the jet stream, which hurled them at him.
Kicking the water by making his feet flatter like a flapper, Raefrag moved to the side, frowning upon seeing the pressure differences in the atmosphere change to curl the jet stream to his current position.
This was happening in real-time, ensuring he was kept locked within the jet stream. ’And they are ensuring to keep their Spirit Weapons influencing the atmosphere right outside my Spirit Weapon range.’
Inhibition Dome could only be deployed within the Spirit Weapon range. Hence, Raefrag wasn’t able to nullify their attacks, since the wind reaching him was just the environment. It wasn’t a product of Prana.
The boulders too were environmentally sourced, ’They’ve quickly figured out countermeasures. Well, it’s only natural they have such means, since the Millinger is extremely famous and has been around for tens of thousands of years.’
“But so what?” He uttered and swatted a flung boulder to the side, “These boulders aren’t a danger to me.”
“And,” He chuckled as a 50-metre-tall Stitched Human swam up the sea and jumped right into the lightning plasma sphere, “I can take my sweet time grinding you down.”
“Since I have plenty more Stitched Humans from where they came from.” As he spoke, the 50-metre-tall Stitched Human got vaporised by the lightning plasma sphere. Even though it was vaporised, it managed to expend a portion of the lightning plasma sphere’s strength.
’It’s working,’ Raefrag released his presence into the surroundings and caused more and more Stitched Humans to jump into the lightning plasma sphere, of course after unleashing a string of Natures, ensuring to consume as must of the five Settlement Leaders’ Prana as possible.
In the meantime, he cranked psychokinesis throughout his body and rushed against the jet stream, intending to reach the lightning plasma sphere, ’The moment that lightning plasma enters my Spirit Weapon range, I can dissipate.’
’That would spell my victory.’ He began to sprint in confidence, ’Of course, I’ve yet to go all out. But first, let’s test out all their cards and exhaust them. Only then can I safely confirm their deaths.’
“I heard from my grandfather that the Cooter Clan immortals are extremely wealthy.” Gradually, vapour cones began to form around his body as he raced against the jet stream, “Mind giving me a small portion of that wealth,”
“Like all of it!” He roared in excitement, “I feel it’s a fair trade, considering I am the personification,”
“Of a Major Disaster!”
