Chapter 475 Psychotic Execution
?Yes, if he filled his Secondary Nature slot with a Centinger and his Tertiary Nature Slot with an Enrino, he could only take on their physical forms but not use their Natures. But the advantage lies in three aspects—Prana, Lifespan, and Transformation.
First of all, the Enrino had a Prana capacity of 1190 at maturity and a lifespan of 80 years. The Centinger had a Prana capacity of 3288 at maturity and a lifespan of 590. Virala’s accumulation would be the summation of both.
He’ll have a Prana Capacity of 4478 and a lifespan of 670 years. That was the first advantage. A sheer, physical advantage. Secondly were the transformations.
He could transform into a Centinger to varying degrees, in Stages, similar to his Empyrean Tusk form. There would be four Stages for his Centinger form. He could perform the same for the Enrino too, in four Stages.
The most frightening aspect of Astral Weaponiser is the fact that he can perform both transformations at the same time. When he does so, he’ll turn into a mutant that’s a functional fusion of the two.
Best of all, the Stages could vary. He could perform Stage 1 Centinger with Stage 3 Enrino, Stage 2 Centinger with Stage 1 Enrino, so on and so forth. This gave him ample versatility to deal with any situation.
By sacrificing the gain of a Nature, Virala focused on obtaining a versatile body with a robust Prana and Lifespan capacity. Astral Weaponiser implied to make the transforms practical, able to weaponise them. Hence, no matter the combination, it would be kept practical and made to work.
The above example with the Centinger and Enrino wasn’t exactly powerful. But currently, Virala has the exact variables necessary to truly take advantage of this power.
Mystic Nature Weapon—Worm!
Virala grabbed it and checked it using his Primary Nature, sighing upon seeing it work, “I was confident in it working, since the core principles are the same, but thankfully, it works as I intended.”
His Prana gradually seeped into the Nature Weapon and took root fully, taking a month to do so. As he only had 100 Prana, Virala had to wait for the golden giant to replenish his reserves constantly. As a result, it took him a lot longer than expected just to consume it.
Secondary Body—Mystic Ewworm!
His Prana limit instantly shot up to 8408 Prana, barely entering the territory of a Beginner Mystic Grade Pranic Beast. His lifespan increased to 10,000 years, the limit of a Mystic Grade Praic Beast.
Virala assumed his Mystic Ewworm form, transforming into a metre-long worm. It was currently in its baby form. He would have to grow it in a process similar to Pranic Beasts. Meaning, he didn’t require resources such as Empyrean Tusk Bone Powder or minerals to cultivate.
Eating, shitting, and sleeping; that process would be enough. But the maturity time for a Mystic Ewworm was 168 years, as he observed through the surging information. It would take him forever to reach the peak of the Body Stage, especially since he would have to manually reach the peak of the Body Stage for both his Pranic Beasts to enter the 2-Life Stage.
So, for every new body, he would have to grow both Pranic Beast bodies to maturity. That would take forever to grow. But it wasn’t an issue, since growth could be accelerated by consuming nutrient-rich resources such as Empyrean Tusks and Empyrean Snappers, just like the Boar King.
Virala began to slither across the long cavern, travelling for hundreds of kilometres, ‘I’ll be cutting it close.’
He had long since thought of a plan, especially after getting his second body. His priority was to get rid of the concentrated Empyrean Tusk orb in his mindspace. It would naturally be passed onto his child.
Originally, he wanted to use Weaponisation on his child and take advantage of the Mystic Path. But since he had given up on that now and instead focused on having proper Gold Grade strength, the concentrated essence of it remained.
This portion couldn’t be influenced by the golden giant and converted into its free human version. And since he wanted to get rid of it anyway, why not use it to gain a powerful ally? After all, due to the power of his genes, as long as he had a child within a year, his child would be a Mystic Human too.
“Me, being a father?” Virala roared in laughter, “Such a riot! Though, that’s Sumatra for you. It changes everyone.”
Once he reached the end of the cavern, Virala began to dig a tiny hole through which he crawled forth. Ewworms were experts in staying hidden and moving through dirt, so he wasn’t worried about being discovered, especially since he was a Mystic Ewworm.
Ewworms couldn’t reach the Mystic Grade and remain with that race’s characteristics. They would have evolved into another race altogether by the time they reached the Silver Grade, since their potential was limited. But since Virala refined their power, he could condense their characteristics and elevate them to the Mystic Grade.
This was already going against the natural order. Though, it was the exact same route as Inala’s. After suffering a crushing loss against the latter, Virala took inspiration from Inala’s progression path. And obviously, in gratitude for the teachings, he planned to give Inala an expensive gift.
There were only level months left for the Major Treasure of Attribute to show itself. So, he had to hurry.
Varahan Mansion!
It had become further fortified as compared to before. Yarsha Zahara’s children had matured significantly by now, taking turns guarding the estate. All six of them were at the peak of the Body Stage, wielding their Primary Natures full-fledged, having been basking in the presence unleashed by the Boar King all along from underneath the mansion.
The presence had waned significantly by now, as it seemed the Boar King’s body was about to be fully expended. The unleashed presence was just icing on the cake now, as the children weren’t necessitated to absorb it anymore.
As long as they continue to cultivate, and once the Mystic Sumatra Art becomes completed to a decent extent to be called a functional cultivation technique, they’ll become Clansmen. And in response, the Boar King will evolve.
Deep underground, seated in a cave was a frail Boar King, not having the strength to even move anymore. He was simply burning up his body, having enough to go for a few more months. And then, he’ll vanish.
He remained in a meditative state all along, ignorant of the passage of time. Suddenly, his eyes shot open upon noticing a minuscule, almost infinitesimal disturbance in the influence he was generating, ‘Hmm?’
He wasn’t sure what that was, but just to be on the safer side, he gathered his remaining Prana, shaped it into a needle, and sent it stabbing underground. He remained in contact with it through psychokinesis, having made arrangements to automatically record everything he was seeing and hearing in it. ‘The original body will be able to find it once he returns.’
The Boar King stared as a worm drilled into the cave and latched onto him, coiling around him to prevent him from moving. The tail stabbed into his mouth, preventing him from biting his tongue to die. That would be enough to thwart his suicide attempts in his extremely combusted state.
“This’ll do,” A snicker resounded from the worm as Prana seeped into the Boar King’s body, rapidly filling it up before taking control, “You’re extremely weak.”
“Is that you, Loot?” The Boar King voiced softly, “You’re the only one who dares do this to me.”
“What difference does it make?” The worm transformed into Virala who continued to pour Prana into him.
“I have already combusted my Natures.” The Boar King spoke nonchalantly, “There’s nothing of value to be extracted from this body.”
“I don’t need your Natures. Your body will do.” Virala grinned and finished seeping his Prana, “Without a Nature, it’s damn easy to take control of your body. I barely spent forty Prana.”
“Well, thanks for the grub.” He grinned as the Boar King’s body shrunk into an orb as Virala consumed it, watching it take up his Tertiary Nature slot.
Tertiary Body—Empyrean Boar King!
“And now,” He grinned maniacally and transformed into the Boar King’s human form. “Before his lingering presence on me vanishes.”
Tertiary Body Stage 1—Brangara!
He dug out of the hole and walked towards the mansion, smiling upon being greeted by Yarsha Zahara and her kids.
