Omega Summoner

Chapter 732 - Thailand Versus Taiwan III

Xinthri is actually using a unique source of energy that is called Prana. It is a branch of life force or life energy that draws from the excess life around him. The garuda race also has a special core that can store Prana passively as it is built up.

Mana and Prana are both similar, but their essence is very different. Mana is also a life source while Prana is also a life source, yet they are both different. Mana is life source that is used to induce change in Phenomena as it could become any element that the caster can use.

It is also the reason why using all of a person's mana could make them go into shock or Mana Overload. The person that used all of his mana will not die despite it being a life force because the body has something like a preservation mode. The body will never let itself get drained of mana completely as mana is also the thing that binds the body and the soul.

Prana is different as it is the very essence of life or the vital principle that holds the spirit and the body. It is also a life force, but it must never leave the body in large quantities. The reason the garuda race are powerful warriors is due to their innate masterful use of Prana.

They have a special body granted to them by their creator god that enables them to recycle life energy. They can also take excess life energy from their surroundings in order to create order as too much of something good is still a bad thing. This is the secret to their immortality as they siphon the unneeded or excess life energy from everything.

They could still die if they get killed or cut off from life energy all together, but they are one of the most powerful races that have sturdy bodies. They way they use Prana makes them able to deal great damage to enemies as they could enhance their bodies with it which will make them almost invulnerable.

The vital essence of life is a double edge sword when handled incorrectly. There have been other races that have tried to copy the garuda race, but they suffered from wasting their life force. The garuda race are the sole race that could control Prana masterfully that they will not hurt their bodies.

Prana itself is also volatile which makes the Garuda race unable to carry weapons. If Prana is imbued on a weapon, then it would be filled with life energy, but the drawback would be them not being able to reabsorb it back to their bodies. Prana is not an energy resource that they can just use without minding the consequences.

This made the garuda race discard the value of conventional weapons and opted to turn their bodies itself as a weapon. Their already high durability due to Prana usage has made them even more monstrous because of training their bodies. Naturally, the next generation of Garudas have inherited the intense durability of their bodies.

The downside for this is that the garuda race have a difficult time during infancy as the child could die the moment they are born. There is also a great chance that the child could also not hatch from the egg that they are being nested on.

They suffer from the order that the universe created to control extremely powerful races. The garuda race did not mind it as much as they must keep the order of things. They accepted it as a necessary truth that they must face in order to preserve order in the world.

"His character is basically a cheat!" Nishui stated as he tried to even land a hit against Xinthri.

Xinthri did not even flinch despite Nishui's clown like personality as he also observed that his opponent is not a pushover. Nishui would avoid the most vital hits that would make his head or heart cave in. The only hits that Nishui took are those when he sees a chance to counterattack but fails to do so because of Xinthri's prowess in hand-to-hand combat.

"To think that we will see a great fight amongst two unfamiliar players in the tournament. They are both Nishui and Xinthri!

Let me tell you what I know of both of them from the sources posted about them that is spreading in the forums like wildfire!

Nishui is famed for his undying personality especially when he is inside of a water body. He will never lose as long his feet or even just his tail is dipped in water. Xinthri must know this which is why he is not letting Nishui even attempt to get wet.

Xinthri on the other hand is both famous inside and outside of the game. He is actually the junior Muay Thai champion in Thailand and remains undefeated to this day. He might be young, but he is someone that you should never mess with or else your nose will never be the same the next day.

Some of you might not know this but he is also a person that defeated Ain of the Valor Guild in a match between martial artists that is held in Pandemonium. You can say that he is the best martial artist in the game as his hand-to-hand combat is so terrifying.

The fact that Nishui could still dodge the relentless assaults on him is a testament to how agile he is." The announcer stated as he gulped for air as he almost choked on air from speaking too fast without any pause.

"What the heck! Does this guy not have a stamina bar or something? I am almost at the red from just dodging his attacks. If I did not have a skill that can restore stamina for each successful dodge, then I might have already bit the dust." Nishui thought to himself as he continued to dodge. He would try to counterattack but Xinthri would just flick his staff that made Nishui look like a child.

In fact, Garuda's do have a stamina gauge or bar except that they do not need it because it will always be maxed as long as they could get life energy from the surroundings. In a place that is not controlled by any dark god, they are practically unable to feel tired due to the ush life energy that they can get from the surroundings.

Renyu noticed that Nishui is not able to shake off his opponent and neither could she. Ngu is very dedicated in making her feel helpless as Renyu could only keep her at bay. The support that their other three teammates can only do so little since even they are getting attacked by the enemy team.

Renyu needed to get Nishui to the water in order for the tide to roll in their favor. She is left with no choice but to use one of her most powerful spells. If Nishui cannot go into the water, then she will bring the water to him. Renyu immediately used a spell that knocked back Ngu by a sizeable distance as she started to use the gem of her Tidesinger.

The gem on the trident suddenly started to release a rhythm that is similar to a song being sung by a person. The song is very enchanting and alluring that those with low resistance to Charm will be afflicted by the status ailment. This is what the merfolk uses to captivate their victims as they could not really sing.

The merfolk is not really equipped with a voice box that can vibrate in order to sing a tune. In truth, all of them are unable to sing since their throats are made for underwater activities and not for singing. Instead, the merfolk uses an enchanted stone that is produced by a special oyster.

The special oyster is none other than the monster called the Melodic Bivalve. A special monster that can pick up any type of sound and mix them into something enchanting. They are the monsters in the legends that makes sailors experience bliss upon hearing their songs because they are monsters that use sound to lure prey.

It just so happens that mermaids use them as well in order to lure their victims or disorient those that come near their waters. The Melodic Bivalve will also produce a magic stone that can release the power of the ocean through the sound that it recorded for about a century.

Only the merfolk has the knowledge to process these special stones that look like pearls. It is also one of the closely guarded secrets of the merfolks that they will even take it to their grave. These special pearls allow the merfolk to have complete control of the waters they inhabit which is why they are feared.

"Tsunami!" Renyu shouted as the peal on her trident shined in a rainbow light and the rather wild see became turbulent.. A large wave is then formed with Renyu at the center.
