459 Fusing a Second Sumatra Gold

Yarsha Zahara had a total of six Minor Treasures, the limit she was able to handle without being burdened physically and mentally. Upon determining her limit, the Boar King thought long and hard of ways to effectively equip her with Minor Treasures.

He had dozens of them that he had accumulated over the past two millennia. But the effects unleashed by a Minor Treasure were too insignificant for him, especially since his Prana was so strong that the Boar King only had to create a Skill that could unleash effects on par with a Minor Treasure.

Hence, he never bothered to equip them. As for Major Treasures, the Boar King never encountered one. So, he had no idea about them. Besides, given his nature, he never bothered to research about them and spent his life running across Sumatra Continent.

Things changed once Yarsha Zahara came into picture.

At Varahan Enclave, when the Boar King asked her to pick the Minor Treasures of her liking from his stash, Yarsha Zahara selected the Minor Treasure of Lunchbox. After all, through it, she could store the Boar King's strength. No other Minor Treasure came close in terms of function.

When she expressed her desire for the Minor Treasure, the Boar King hunted for more of them after leaving her at the Brimgan Empire.

This was part of his list as he roamed Sumatra Continent in search of Sumatra Gold. The Boar King made a beeline towards a Free Human Empire that produced the Minor Treasure of Lunchbox in the past.

He traded with them and obtained three more of the same Minor Treasures. That was all that particular Kingdom had. The Minor Treasure of Lunchbox was very useful, their most-prized treasure.

After all, only their Emperors that had reached the 10-Life Stage in the past but failed to reach the Transcendent Stage produced them. They were a symbol of authority. But against the Boar King, they had no choice but to bend to his will.

At least, the Boar King intended to trade with them. So, they accepted the deal. Refusing the Boar King meant annihilation.

They weren't the Brimgan Empire that had stood tall across multiple eras and had Gold Grade strength in the hundreds.

The strongest of their Kingdom had Silver Grade strength, with the quality of his Human Avatar on par with an Expert Silver Grade Pranic Beast. Hence, they didn't dare express the slightest amount of discontentment towards the Boar King.

After getting his hands on the remaining Minor Treasures of Lunchbox, the Boar King brought them to the Brimgan Empire and equipped Yarsha Zahara with them.

At present, she had four Minor Treasures of Lunchbox, the Minor Treasure of Summoning Bell, and finally, the Minor Treasure of Storage Lantern.

The Minor Treasure of Summoning Bell was one whose sole function was to alert the Boar King if Yarsha Zahara was in danger. After she equipped it, she linked it to the Boar King. This way, the moment she activates it, the Boar King would sense her call for help no matter how far away he is.

It had fused with her earlobe. She only had to flick it once to alert the Boar King. He would rush to her rescue from Gaja Enclave promptly. But it wasn't as if she could wait until the last moment to alert him.

It took the Boar King at the 2-Life Stage close to forty days to travel from the Gaja Enclave to the Brimgan Empire. Therefore, if Yarsha Zahara didn't have the confidence to survive that long, she had to activate it without hesitation.

But, she didn't do that and instead held on, intending to buy as much time as possible, having created a plan of action already.

The Minor Treasure of Storage Lantern was stolen from the original Mammoth Clan during the time Brangara evolved into the Boar King. When he chased after the herd of hundred Empyrean Tusks heading to another continent and killed quite a few of them, he stumbled upon this.

During their quest to find a path to the Mystic Grade, the Mammoth Clan experimented intensively upon anything and everything they got their hands on. One such Mammoth Clansman seemed to have obtained a spatial power similar to the Storage Lanterns created out of the tusks of the Empyrean Tusks.

And when they failed to reach the Transcendent Stage, they ended up becoming the Minor Treasure of Storage Lantern. Thanks to the characteristics of Mystic Bone Art that had a tremendous influence, the Minor Treasure of Storage Lantern was that Mammoth Clansman's stomach.

When Yarsha Zahara obtained it, the Minor Treasure of Storage Lantern fused with her stomach and expanded the space within, which was where she stored all her Sumatra Gold. Currently, there were 148 pieces of Sumatra Gold present in this space.

An absurd, unprecedented concentration of Sumatra Gold unlike anything ever witnessed on Sumatra Continent. She carried this level of wealth with her casually.

A single piece was enough for Inala to create the Sumatra Canon, an unbelievable weapon of destruction. If he were to get his hands on all the Sumatra Gold in her possession, the Mammoth Clan would grow strong enough to destroy the Boar King easily, especially since he knew the method to use a Sumatra Gold and pave a path to the Mystic Grade.

Of her 148 Sumatra Gold, 86 were produced by the Boar King alone.

Free Humans occupied a small portion of Sumatra Continent. Actually, in terms of population, there were more Ravaged Tribes than Free Humans. But even if they were included, the total area occupied by humans—Free Humans, Ravaged Tribes, and Clansmen—was a mere fraction of Sumatra Continent.

Among humans, only Free Humans were able to make use of a Sumatra Gold. Therefore, Sumatra Gold existed deep in Pranic Beast territories, untouched for tens of thousands of years, lying there, buried deep under the ground after a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast casually chucked them there.

"Hmm…" Yarsha Zahara hummed faintly as a piece of Sumatra Gold vanished from her Minor Treasure of Storage Lantern and was built into her Human Avatar, consuming her Prana in the process.

She continued to fight while this happened, carefully laying down arrangements by littering the region with Satellites and Comets.

When a Spirit Weapon flew towards her, Yarsha Zahara defended it with her Spirit Weapon—made out of Sumatra Gold

—and then used her Primary Nature to gain ownership of it.

Brimgan Empire cultivators had Natures whose effects resulted in the creation of Spirit Weapons with a variety of forms and functions. Their Spirit Weapons were created by their Natures. Hence, she could absorb them all through her Primary Nature of Incident Nature Reflection.

In her right hand was a Satellite and in her left was a Comet. Yarsha Zahara absorbed their power and fused them with the Spirit Weapons she had gained control off.

Now, the respective Spirit Weapons littered Varahan Mansion, behaving as Comets and Satellites respectively. Countless survivors in Fentan City were raging due to the deaths of their beloved.

Since it was impossible to avoid a confrontation, Yarsha Zahara took advantage of them to amass an arsenal of Comets and Satellites and fill up Varahan Mansion, enough to thwart the Royals.

Upon seeing that she was able to gain possession of the strength of her enemies, the Royals refrained from targeting her, afraid of adding to her strength. This meant that the enemies targeting her were weak enough to be fully intimidated by Rocky Intimidation, resulting in their attacks becoming slow and weak enough that Yarsha Zahara could gain possession of them without risk.

'Finally!' As she continued to fight, a surge of strength enveloped her being, allowing her to use her Primary Nature better. 'I succeeded in fusing a second Sumatra Gold into my Human Avatar.'

"Come on, is that the extent of your hatred?" She taunted the attackers, grinning upon being targeted by a hail of Spirit Weapons.
