I'll Surpass The MC-Novel

Chapter 466 Plan X Plan

?"Now, I'll learn all your secrets!"

Hearing Brandal Brimgan's words, Virala expressed abundant fear, "No! Dammit! Stop!"

'He finally broke down.' Brandal Brimgan smirked mentally as he continued to collect information in his Information Slip made out of Rutham.

"I beg you! Spare me, please!" Virala pleaded while shrieking nonstop, squealing in pain as information spilled out of his mind in a tangible form.

"Hahaha!" Brandal Brimgan was unable to control himself anymore and laughed profusely. "You're hilarious!"

"Too bad, you remain here until I finish collecting all the information out of your mind." Brandal Brimgan said casually. Whenever a human or Pranic Beast that posed danger to the Brimgan Empire appeared, Brandal Brimgan would bring them to this place and extract all information of value from their mind.

This information would then be safekept in their library for a team of scholars to research and make plans accordingly. The Brimgan Empire stood tall through multiple eras for a reason. And it was this.

Every time an enemy came, the Brimgan Empire captured someone from the opposing side and used the influence in the golden giant to extract all information. Using that information, they made traps accordingly to accurately destroy the enemy.

It was the primary reason why Brandal Brimgan didn't confront the Boar King and instead stopped upon capturing Virala. The Brimgan Empire wasn't prepared enough to face the Boar King. Besides, Virala—Loot—seemed to be a large enough variable to affect everything.

Hence, he only intended to take action after extracting all the information from Virala. And once the raid team were ready, he'll target Yarsha Zahara and her children. He'll bring them to the space in the golden giant's stomach and extract their memories too.

With that, the Brimgan Empire will make last minute preparations and become ready to confront the Boar King. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

'This is the first step.' He thought and stared at Virala. 'Through you, I'll get a complete understanding of the situation that happened at Karuta Hill.'

The investigation report of the incident had many issues. First of all were the two Nature Weapons that were transported by the three Royals by risking their lives. They were duds, having nothing in them.

They were unlike the four Nature Weapons that Brandal Brimgan had extracted out of Virala's stomach biome. Second was the existence of the individual that faced Virala using strings of tangible Prana.

He was the one who managed to steal the two Nature Weapons from Virala. But in an instant, he managed to fool everyone and replaced the original with duds before giving them to the Fentan City Lord.

As a result, the Fentan City Lord ended up taking the heat from Virala while this individual coolly evaded all responsibilities. Upon having this suspicion, Brandal Brimgan had commanded the Royals to investigate and capture this individual.

The individual turned out to be Dhakha, a refugee who gained Citizenship just recently. But when the Royals searched for him, he had vanished. The home he had been living at was empty, wiped of all his traces.

Even the two people—Hayaya and Lannla—who were supposed to live in the house were no more, having abandoned their textile business without a single word to the employees. And upon further investigation, they found an encompassing tunnel network underneath the house, leading to various locations in the Northern Lakes.

Somehow, this tunnel system was created in such a way it didn't hinder the function of the Southern Veins. Brandal Brimgan was shocked upon learning about this. Hence, he doubled down on the search for Wittral once Dhakha had vanished.

By asking around the people in the place, it was revealed that Wittral was the sole individual who had been close with Dhakha. As many things didn't make sense, Brandal Brimgan established an exclusive task force in regards to getting to the bottom of this event.

It was why he placed importance on Virala, aware that through him, he would be able to figure out the root cause, 'Something had happened that caused Loot to reveal himself like that. I feel like taking action without knowing that will come to bite me later.'

"Argh! S-Stop, please!" Virala screamed in despair upon seeing more and more information continue to collect in Brandal Brimgan's Information Slip.

However, even though he was screaming aloud in fear and despair, continuing to thrash about in pain, his mind was thinking nonstop. Virala observed that the Major Treasure within the golden giant had influenced it, treating it as the terrain for its influence.

And this influence was harnessing the influence of all the Minor Treasures embedded in the eye sockets of the golden giant. By employing this influence, a special power had been concentrated in the golden giant's stomach.

'When my body touched the stomach surface, this combined influence began to act on my body to concentrate and condense my thoughts to tangible form. Prana is the energy fused from the energies of the body, mind, and soul. This influence is seeping Prana into my body while focusing on the mind aspect. The tangible extraction of the information should be the effects of the body and soul aspects that have been poured into it.' He thought, putting on an act of absolute despair when in truth, he was merely suffering from pain.

The pain was unbearable, but within the upper limit of his tolerance. Everything else he said and did was an act to fool Brandal Brimgan.

His original goal was the Minor Treasures of the Brimgan Empire anyway, which was why he decided to be taken prisoner upon weighing the pros and cons while judging Brandal Brimgan's character. He was prepared to be interrogated, using which he'll wait for a chance to perform the Dance of Annihilation.

He'll probably be in a dungeon within the palace, given the strength he had displayed. Thereby, he could bide his time until he figured out the location of the treasury and unleash the Dance of Annihilation to transform the Royals into Nature Weapons.

Virala had finalised a solid plan by the time Brandal Brimgan sealed his Spirit Container. Following that, he only waited for an opportunity while being tortured.

But now, Brandal Brimgan revealed such a move. Virala was first shocked by it, but upon realising that he was closer to his target not, he began to change his plans and gave his everything to analyse the place.

'Minor Treasures and Major Treasures operate beyond the laws of Sumatra. That's a fact. Therefore, without fusing with them, it's impossible for Brandal Brimgan to control them.' Virala concluded as he eyed the latter, 'Rather, he's taking advantage of the established influences to achieve his objectives.'

The tangible information being spewed out of his mind wasn't under Brandal Brimgan's control, 'That means, I can take advantage of the situation. Since the golden giant is his Empire's trump card, he'll have absolute trust in it. Thereby, he'll blindly believe everything he extracts from me using it.'

Virala had been sneaky with it until now. As a result, Brandal Brimgan didn't know that he had a Minor Treasure on him. The Minor Treasure of Goated Moustache was unlike other Minor Treasures.

Even though Yarsha Zahara hadn't used hers, the Minor Treasure of Summoning Bell had a powerful presence that someone powerful like the Fentan City Lord could sense. It was because its ability was power.

But the Minor Treasure of Goated Moustache was just a moustache. All it did was grow his moustache and allow him control over it. Thereby, it had no presence, the reason he picked it, despite it being absolutely lacklustre among the powerful Minor Treasures stored in the Mammoth Treasury.

Knowing its tremendous value in his hands, Virala had picked it. And now, he could use it in this situation, 'None of the abilities I use can allow me to take advantage of the situation, since Minor Treasures function beyond the laws of Sumatra. So, the best way to face them is with a Minor Treasure.'

As he thought, his moustache subtly wriggled. And then, it grew roots, digging deeper into his head to travel underneath his skin.
