575 Orakha’s Affiliation

"This is…?" Gannala arrived at a halt when Orakha revived next to Ruvva in her biome. She accessed the latter's memories and understood the gist of the situation. "Chief, give me a moment."

Saying so, Gannala rushed to a vacant location, assumed Empyrean Tusk form, and brought our Orakha, reverting to human form to glare at him, "Why did you run? You could have fought against him."

"Yes, I can, but the risks are high." Orakha said, "I judged that my losses would be severe if I were to face him now. And I don't wish to be weakened."

"That's it?" Gannala clenched her hand into a fist, controlling her urge to smack him, "You can face him and hold him there long enough for us to arrive at your rescue."

"With your strength, it's easy." She grumbled, "Except for that stamp in his possession, none of Virala's abilities can damage you in the slightest. You're a direct counter to him."
