Chapter 155 Yarsha Blackmails Brangara
Her power wasn\'t geared in terms of fighting but was strategic in nature, capable of refining the Humans Avatars of others and on rare occasions, even mutating them.
Yes, she was the first among humans to create a Mutated Human Avatar, allowing the talented cultivators of her Kingdom to possess two Natures.
That fact alone instantly caused the strength of their Kingdom to shoot up exponentially, making them reach an Empire level in a mere few decades.
Unfortunately for them, their fortune became their curse. Zahara Kingdom was situated 5000 kilometres from Varahan Enclave. To date, the reason they stood strong was because they were too weak for the Boar King to notice them.
But once their strength ballooned and they reached an Empire\'s level, it caused waves throughout all Pranic Beast territories in the region. The Boar King felt it and arrived at the Zahara Empire, reducing it to rubble.
Yarsha Zahara was one of the few survivors. She, along with her Royal Guard that had survived, vacated the place. Hoping to exact vengeance against the Boar King, they roamed Sumatra Continent, building up their strength in the process.
Everyone in her Royal Guard had two Natures and were in the Life Stage. They were powerhouses. Yarsha Zahara too became strong once she completed her Secondary Nature.
During their travels, they were enveloped in the mess created by the Third Major Disaster. That was when Yarsha meets Resha and eventually falls in love with him.
Of course, Resha was already married by then. And his wife hates Yarsha to the core, even ending up stabbing him multiple times as a result.
Due to the strength difference, Resha\'s wife fails to deal with Yarsha whose talents are inferior only to Resha.
In the end, unwilling to set aside her pride to become Resha\'s second wife, Yarsha makes her exit. She bears Resha\'s child, but nothing is revealed about that.
Yarsha never appears after the Third Major Disaster. Her duration of stay in Sumatra Chronicles amounted to less than a hundred chapters. But her impact was so significant that all readers considered her the heroine of the story and not Resha\'s wife.
And now, since history had changed a lot, the Boar King met Yarsha prematurely. But this time, it wasn\'t as enemies.
"What\'s your name?" Brangara approached the fifteen-year-old girl and asked, sensing the purified waves of Prana emanating from her, \'Who is this girl? Even I\'ve never seen such a human…\'
A memory he wished to suppress at the depths of his consciousness surfaced, causing him to recall the time of torture at the hands of Undrakha, the then Mammoth Clan Chief.
Brangara recalled the figure of Gannala, an existence that stood at the pinnacle of Empyrean Tusks. When Gannala was just born and remained in her human form, her presence matched what Brangara sensed from the girl before him.
"Yarsha Zahara," The girl introduced herself. Her eyes were bright. She was terrified of the Boar King, but unlike the others, her will to resist wasn\'t in the least affected.
Had she possessed even an ounce of power, she would have fought the Boar King to the death. \'Courageous, possesses a strong will, and exudes the same level of dominance as Gannala. She\'s different from the rest.\'
If Gannala could be considered the ruler of Empyrean Tusks, then Yarsha Zahara was the ruler of Free Humans.
Brangara stared at her and gently grabbed her hand, "Do you wish to reach the peak of cultivation?"
"I do," Yarsha Zahara nodded without an ounce of hesitation, "But I will remain a Free Human."
"I won\'t become a Clansman."
"That\'s fine," Brangara laughed, "The first generation can\'t become Clansmen. And you\'re too valuable to be wasted for something like that."
He held her hand tighter and proclaimed, "Our child will be an Empyrean Boar. And you\'ll remain a Free Human, the strongest the Free Humans have ever seen."
"Do you accept my proposal?" He asked.
"You haven\'t given me any reason to refuse." Yarsha Zahara smiled. Her sole condition was to remain a Free Human. And Brangara accepted it without hesitation.
It meant that her husband would be the Boar King without her losing any of what made her herself. There wasn\'t a better deal than that.
Just as Brangara felt that things were going positively, Yarsha Zahara suddenly put forth a condition, causing the Zahara King to break out into cold sweat in fear.
"What did you say?" Brangara felt like he hadn\'t heard her clearly, asking her to repeat herself.
"The only woman you\'ll ever sleep with is me." Yarsha Zahara said and pointed her index finger at her neck, causing Prana to condense into a pointy sphere.
Even without the respective Nature, her control over Prana was at such a level that she could exhibit the power of Prana Shock. What she proposed was simple. If the Boar King fails to accept her proposition, she\'ll commit suicide.
"Do you think you have the means to blackmail me?" Brangara snorted, "Your entire Kingdom is merely a speck of dust before me."
"Mystic Grade Pranic Beast, the Empyrean Boar King." Yarsha Zahara calmly uttered, "Sumatra Continent has never witnessed an existence stronger than you. Even among Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts recorded in our history, you stand head and shoulders above them. But,"
"You\'re alone, the last of your kind." Her eyes calmly stared into Brangara\'s as she continued, "Your goal for arriving at my Kingdom is to create Clansmen similar to the Mammoth Clan and the Cooter Clan. Through your Wean Clan, you\'ll result in the birth of Empyrean Boars. Am I right until now?"
"You are…" Brangara said, his eyes cold.
"That makes it simple, then." She caused the Prana in her fingertips to transform into the image of an Empyrean Boar, shocking Brangara.
It was hard to control Prana directly, hence why every single existence used it through either a Skill or Nature. The most one could control it directly was by infusing it in something or making it flow in a direction.
Yarsha here was able to manipulate her Prana to condense it, knead and shape it, and even make it exhibit traces of abilities like the Primary Nature of Shock Lizards—Prana Shock.
Making note of Brangara\'s expression, Yarsha commented, "You\'ll never find a Human or Pranic Beast better than me. I\'m pretty sure as a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast, you\'ll be able to revive the Empyrean Boar race. But,"
She eyed the figures of the ministers entering the palace grounds with their daughters and scoffed, "Look at them and look at me."
"Whose children do you think will be the most talented?"
