Chapter 472 Mystic Nature Weapon—Worm
Chapter 472 Mystic Nature Weapon—Worm
?This Mystic Grade Ewworm would be a trump card effective against even the Boar King. It was why Brandal Brimgan was the most interested in it.
He could have chosen to equip Mystic Grade Nature Weapons in his Nature Slots, but he knew better than to do something that foolish. The sheer influence generated by it would consume and dominate his mind.
Hence, he only equipped two Silver Grade Nature Weapons onto his Nature slots. Of them, one worked in granting his Spirit Weapon a corrosive property similar to a Centinger’s power. The other existed to impose his will onto the Ewworm that would merge into his rectum later.
Over time, this would dominate the Ewworm’s mind, allowing him to control it as an extension of his limb. Moreover, he planned to destroy its mind from the get-go.
Brandal Brimgan took out the Gold Nature Weapon of Worm from his pocket and stared at it with a heated gaze. He had already extracted all Nature Weapons from Virala’s stomach biome, having confirmed it with the memories emitted by the latter.
In the same process as before, he equipped the Gold Nature Weapon of Worm onto an Ewworm and then brought it to the golden giant’s stomach. He threw it onto Virala, causing the latter to assume Nature Weapon form, having long since figured out the method to influence his Secondary Nature into doing so.
As Virala took on his Nature Weapon form, the Ewworm fell on him, instantly absorbing him into its vacant slot. Brandal Brimgan was still able to sense Virala thanks to the Spirit Weapon seal he had placed on the latter using the combined effect of eight Minor Treasures.
He then performed a series of actions, causing the Ewworm’s Primary Nature to fuse into the Gold Nature Weapon of Worm. Brandal Brimgan was of the misconception that he was making Virala do all this, when it was the latter doing everything on his own.
For the past six years, Virala had been using Brandal Brimgan to do what he wanted by selectively feeding him information. Due to the unshakable trust he had in the golden giant and the sheer value of sensitive information he had managed to extract from Virala, not for a moment did Brandal Brimgan ever suspect the latter.
Virala’s acting had been consistently on point until now, never breaking character for even a moment. Moreover, he truly gave away significant information, stuff that would definitely screw him up in the future.
But he had no other choice, for only by giving out such information could he control Brandal Brimgan. Besides, considering how Gannala had obtained his everything, he wasn’t in the least concerned with this information leak.
Instead, he was going for a complete overhaul.
There was no guarantee of a plan working, especially in Sumatra with so many variables at play. Hence, the moment things changed, Virala let go of all his plans and instead made the best of his situation. Getting the utmost benefits from every situation was how one could survive and excel in Sumatra.
He knew that by heart and was the one statement he repeated in his mind daily, as mental training. Otherwise, he’d be fucked without even realising why, especially since he was making a lot of mess everywhere.
The golden giant came as a surprise. But even without it, Virala would have figured out something spectacular once he managed to infiltrate the Brimgan Empire’s treasury.
Now, fooling Brandal Brimgan into thinking he was the one in control, Virala used Internal Astral Cultivator to fuel the Ewworm’s Primary Nature into the Gold Nature Weapon of Worm. Once the process was done, he ejected both himself and the Gold Nature Weapon of Worm out of the Ewworm.
Now lacking a Nature, the Ewworm was useless as Brandal Brimgan killed it and stored it in an empty container. He then repeated the same process as before, using Virala to refine the Gold Nature Weapon of Worm little by little, steadily watching as it continued to grow in presence.
Finally, after two years of nonstop repetition, there lay the body of an Ewworm with a Mystic Grade Nature. As it was in contact with the golden giant’s stomach, its mind was almost dead, extracted of most of its information.
Only the bare minimum was left to ensure its mind was now in a state akin to a baby’s. This way, it was easier to impose Brandal Brimgan’s will on it once it fused with his rectum. Thereby, it would be easy to dominate it entirely.
“Hahaha, finally!” Brandal Brimgan chuckled with reddened eyes. He had already transferred all responsibilities to his son, including the title of Emperor. Moreover, he informed his retainers to never interfere with him unless absolutely necessary.
Only an Emperor had the qualifications to enter this cavern. And since he had warned everyone, especially his son, no one would come to disturb him here. This was to ensure his secret plan of raising a Mystic Grade Ewworm would never be revealed.
It wouldn’t be a trump card if everyone knew it after all. Moreover, to date, he hadn’t disclosed Virala’s capabilities of being able to refine and upgrade Nature Weapons. If he were to say it, his retainers would immediately understand his plan considering he had brought over a hundred thousand Ewworms.
But now, they were of the assumption that he was using the Ewworms with Virala’s abilities to develop something that could be useful to their Raid.
Since he didn’t know how long it would take, Brandal Brimgan didn’t give out a deadline. His command was to focus on retrieving the Major Treasure of Attribute and continue training until he came out of research. Until then, the Boar King’s wife and family were to be spared.
“It was damn exhausting.” He sighed and grabbed the Ewworm, intending to use it immediately when suddenly, Prana throughout his body began to head towards his Spirit Container, unleashing a gravitational field from there, one that began to pull his limbs towards the heart.
The sudden action surprised him when Brandal Brimgan noticed his vision spinning as a rope of hair had coiled around his leg and yanked him to the floor. ‘Weaponisation!’
Right as he had the thought in realisation, Brandal Brimgan’s body slammed into the golden giant’s stomach, causing him to scream as information flowed out of his mind.
Dance of Annihilation!
Brandal Brimgan noticed in horror as suddenly, like pieces of puzzle assembling themselves into a unified whole, an Empyrean Tusk appeared in his mind space, dancing. It couldn’t be guarded as the influence radiated directly from his mind, rapidly causing his body to deform.
“You…!” He glared at Virala, knowing that he had been played and harnessed every ounce of his strength in an effort to crush Virala’s Spirit Container and put an end to everything. But shockingly, he was unable to do so, observing a layer of hair had pierced through the seal and formed a layer over the Spirit Weapon, protecting it.
It was just hair, but one that he failed to destroy. After all, though it might just be moustache hair, it had been influenced by the Major Treasure for six years. And Virala kept the most influenced portions ready to protect his Spirit Weapon right as he took action.
Had Brandal Brimgan tried it a few more times, he could have managed to crush the defences. But unfortunately for him, time was a luxury he couldn’t afford. His limbs had already shrunk to half the size by now as he realised it was futile trying to crush Virala’s Spirit Container.
Instead, he used psychokinesis to bring the Spirit Container stabbed into the cavern’s ceiling—using which he hovered in the golden giant’s stomach all along—and slammed it into Virala, shocked to see a layer of bone cover the latter.
When he shifted focus to control his Spirit Weapon, he was no longer focused on the Spirit Container Seal—it had to be controlled as a Spirit Weapon too.
And since in his current state, he was unable to perform the Skill of Spirit Weapon Switch, the Spirit Container Seal remained defenceless, allowing the reinforced moustache hair to clobber and shatter it.
As that happened, Virala was able to assume his Stage 2—
Exoskeleton—form, watching the Spirit Weapon pierce through his neck and almost manage to sever through. “Ha…hahahaha.”
Virala laughed nervously as he pulled out the Spirit Weapon and used his exoskeleton armour to keep his neck attached and hurriedly regenerated the region, muttering upon seeing Prana stop surging out of Brandal Brimgan, “Bastard! Even after I exercised utmost caution,”
“You almost killed me!”
