Chapter 762: Accum! Accum! Accum!
Chapter 762: Accum! Accum! Accum!
The reason Vara Accum was so powerful was for an extremely simple, but broken reason. It was a material-based Nature but behaved like an energy-based Nature.
It became stronger when stacked!
Energy-based Natures became stronger as a cultivator progressed through the Life Stage. Material-based Natures had a material density limit, beyond which they would lose their structural integrity and experience some sort of chemical reaction.
This chemical reaction would transform the material, causing the cultivator’s Human Avatar to implode on its own. It was why many incomplete cultivation techniques resulted in Free Humans being unable to progress beyond a certain level in the Life Stage.
The Brimgan Empire addressed this issue by refining the mineral to improve its physical characteristics, which was the purpose of Mystic Kinesis Art. Moreover, they refined the mineral, Kirenal and created Rutham to be as malleable and ductile as possible.
Even then, the Spirit Weapons they used didn’t gain any boost through their Life Stage stack. Only their psychokinesis gained power from the stack. Every Free Human cultivation technique worked on attaining similar solutions.
After all, even with limitations, material-based Natures were stronger.
However, the case was different for the Empyrean Boar King thanks to Astral Chart, one that allowed Brangara to stack as many energy-based Natures as he wanted.
The Nature of Blessed Inheritance allowed the Royal Guard to faintly emulate this characteristic. Vara Human Avatar Free Humans at the Silver Grade had the Primary Nature of Gracious Inheritance, which allowed them to activate only one Nature at a time.
The Royal Guard could activate multiple Natures at a time. However, they cannot stack the Natures, for that was only possible through Astral Chart or Astral World.
But in Narkahamy’s case, he researched and developed the usage of his Secondary Nature of Voracious Nature, activating it every time he consumed a body of YoriBuntara. And every time he consumed her body, he gained a Nature of Empyrean Boar Transformation.
He didn’t realise it, but he was progressing in the same direction that Brangara had taken in the past, when he was forced to swallow the hearts of his brethren. His Human Avatar was gradually amassing a large number of Gold Grade Natures, their influence superimposing upon each other that eventually resulted in a qualitative change.
Empyrean Boar evolves into an Empyrean Boar King.
The Tertiary Nature of Vara Accum followed that evolutionary category, upgrading itself the greater it accumulated upon itself. The Nature did have a limit, however attaining that limit basically meant entering the realm of existence the same as the Empyrean Boar King.
Narkahamy had a long path to traverse before he could reach such a level. However, he planned to do everything in his power until he reached that state of existence in the future. It was why he created Vara Accum while keeping in mind the characteristics of the Empyrean Boar race’s voracious consumption capabilities.
Empyrean Boar, Boar King, Empyrean Boar King, and Celestial Boar!
All these were brought about because of the consumption and accumulation characteristics of the Empyrean Boar race.
The evidence clearly manifested in him after obtaining Vara Accum. Over time, his Primary Nature of Gracious Inheritance evolved into Blessed Inheritance. His Secondary Nature of Voracious Nature grew from Silver Grade to Gold Grade.
Finally, when he activated all three Natures as a unified whole, he was able to mould the influence generated by all the Natures in his Human Avatar into a compounded effect. Depending on how he moulds it, the resultant effect can be superior to a Nature at the same Grade.
Narkahamy only had experience with Iron Grade Natures, as they were available in plenty for purchase in the Varahan Empire, allowing him to freely experiment with them as he pleased.
Blessed Influence!
It was the name of the ability created through a combined activation of his three Natures. Currently, he could create a total of five Blessed Influences in a Vara Human Avatar-Stealth, Ring Blade, Manoeuvre, Recovery, and Contact.
They were all created using a combination of commonly available Iron Grade Natures in the Varahan Empire. Of them, the Blessed Influence of Stealth was primarily used by the Terrorists of Talamas.
The central Iron Grade Nature used to obtain this was the Petrified Geese’s Statue. Forty Natures of Statue were required, alongside three more Natures to result in the Blessed Influence of Stealth. The limitation of this was that one Human Avatar could only maintain one Blessed Influence.
As a result, the Terrorists had to operate as a group wherever they went. The Blessed Influence of Stealth was created to be seeped into a Spirit Weapon, allowing one individual to mask the presence of multiple people.
Since they wouldn’t need to control the Spirit Weapon and only needed to pour Prana to maintain the effect of the Blessed Influence, the efficiency drop of the Spirit Weapon’s functions wasn’t a cause for concern.
Cultivators with a Vara Human Avatar could activate only one Nature-stored in their Human Avatar-at a time. This gave the Terrorists a serious advantage, as they could activate a Nature atop a Blessed Influence.
Moreover, the effect of all five Blessed Influence far outclassed most Iron Grade Natures. Only extremely destructive Iron Grade Natures such as the Bludder’s Eddy Blade were stronger.
Narkahamy intended to continue improving upon them, for which he purchased information from the Wean Clan through YoriBuntara. Everything that YoriBuntara had purchased for the past four years was for his sake.
Secondary Nature-Voracious Nature!
Any Vara Human Avatar Free Human who had consumed enough Empyrean Boar bodies gained the Secondary Nature of Voracious Nature. The seed related to this ideology had been propagated through Prumace’s Gramophones the most.
And obviously in response, many ambitious individuals had taken action, spurred by countless reasons. Similar to the business field where Prumace was the most noteworthy individual, among terrorism, Narkahamy was the most dangerous.
“Let’s see…” After a while, once YoriBuntara was done with her work for the day, Narkahamy brought her underground, arriving at a large, cubical space that spanned a side of 100 metres. “Transform.”
“Y-Yes,” YoriBuntara flinched at the slightest twitch of his muscle, her expression morphing
into one of terror as she stared at the various torture tools hanging from the walls. From corkscrews to machining belts, everything had been used on her, which was how Narkahamy improved his understanding of Empyrean Boars.
As a Gold Grade Pranic Beast, YoriBuntara’s Prana was potent enough to grant her unmatched resilience. Irrespective of how much she was tortured, both physically and mentally, she’ll recover to normalcy in a matter of minutes.
If she consumes enough food, her recovery will be even faster. And consuming food was a signature gift of her Race. YoriBuntara let out a faint breath as she distanced herself from Narkahamy and activated her Primary Nature.
Primary Nature—Empyrean Boar Transformation!
“Hehe!” Narkahamy let out a sadistic chuckle the moment he stared at the grand, Gold Grade Pranic Beast, ‘An existence that can rule a region is my bitch. This is why I can never become
bored of her!’
“Come here!” He beckoned with a casual tone, watching the Empyrean Boar align its face before him, lowering itself accordingly. Narkahamy extended his hand and touched the tusk growing on the side of its head, sharp enough to impale even Gold Grade Pranic Beasts.
Blessed Influence-Ring Blade!
It was similar to an Eddy Blade, but resembled a ring, capable of manifesting around
anywhere on his body, treating it as the centre of the axis. He can make it appear around his finger, hand, or leg, or even treat the entire body as the centre of the axis and manifest around him like a protective circle.
Unlike an Eddy Blade, it was extremely flexible in terms of usage, only requiring Prana
according to the size it was condensed. This allowed it to be used readily without much trouble. After all, accumulating 300 units of Prana in the fraction of a second stressed the Spirit Container of everyone, including Narkahamy.
The Ring Blade condensed around his wrist like a bangle and began to spin, gradually accelerated through his psychokinesis as it expanded in radius. It slid out of his hand and slipped onto the tusk he held. And then, with a thought from him, it shrunk, rapidly grinding through everything that remained in its centre.
Ring Blade couldn’t move away from the body. Some part of the body needs to be used as an axis. Hence, Narkahamy watched as the tip of his index finger was cut into by the Ring Blade alongside the tusk.
Once his finger was cut through, the Ring Blade vanished, since it no longer had an axis. But that was enough, as by now, a clean cut had been performed on the tusk.
He created another Ring Blade around his wrist and sawed through the circular cut on the
tusk, severing it a minute later. “Clean up the dust!”
“Yes,” YoriBuntara reverted to her human form and began to collect all the dust resulting
from her tusk getting sawed into. In the meantime, Narkahamy used the Ring Blade to machine the surface of the tusk, producing a steady stream of dust.
He sat within an enclosed container ensuring the dust didn’t fly everywhere else. A few hours later, the entire tusk had been turned into dust, becoming the mineral Vara.
“Around eight kilograms.” He weighed the content once YoriBuntara collected everything.
Following that, he ripped out his fingernails and began to turn them into powder too. His Prana depleted at a steady pace as he used it to regenerate his nails.
Soon, he was hungry, having accumulated eight kilograms of Vara sourced from him too. and
then, he compared the two minerals, running tests on them.
In a nearby room were two Free Humans, once at the Body Stage, but now reduced to the peak
of the Spirit Stage. They were his captives, the first pair of individuals subjected to his
experiments.
“Consume this and enter the Body Stage.” He said to the first individual and gave him Vara
sourced from YoriBuntara. He then gave Vara sourced from his body to the second individual,
“Do it, now.”
The captive duo had already been tortured enough to subconsciously accept whatever Narkahamy said. They hurried and consumed their respective Vara and eventually entered the Body Stage. They were talented individuals, allowing them to enter the Body Stage in a short duration with a high success rate.
It was also why they had been captured. Every other captive that didn’t have enough talent
was disposed of. As the duo entered the Body Stage, Narkahamy observed their Human Avatars, making a comparison before bursting into laughter, “Stay here.”
He exited the room and stared at the figure of YoriBuntara who was cleaning up the place, pulling her into his embrace, “I’ve surpassed you in your innate category.”
“You’ve become even more useless,” He said and activated one of the stored Natures of Empyrean Boar Transformation, turning into an Empyrean Boar himself. “Go on.”
YoriBuntara expanded her Prana detection method, her heart-wrenching in shock to see the Human Avatar created using Vara sourced from Narkahamy was superior to her own.
Whether she was at the Body Stage or Life Stage, the quality of Vara she produced remained
the same. However, that wasn’t the case with Narkahamy. The higher he progressed through the Life Stage, the greater the stack of his nails, which improved the sourced Vara.
Thanks to his Tertiary Nature of Vara Accum, this will continue to improve until he is able to
create Royal Guards on his own. ‘Every two years, he’s building a new body, even after entering the Gold Grade.’
YoriBuntara became depressed, for Narkahamy’s Empyrean Boar characteristics were superior
to her own and the difference between the two will only continue to increase as the latter
grows stronger.
“Let’s fight!” With a chuckle, Narkahamy engaged in a battle with YoriBuntara, concluding
the fight in less than twenty seconds, “You’ve become further weaker, huh? Well, no matter. You’re still useful for my research.”
With that, he began to mate with her, in Empyrean Boar forms, for the sole purpose of understanding every single characteristic that the Race of Empyrean Boar possessed.
‘I see, that’s why he’s so successful.’ A thick layer of Biome Bomb enveloped him, with the terrain within resembling the walls of the cubic underground room. Inala was hiding in the walls, having been spying on Narkahamy for the past few hours.
Secondary Nature-Perfect Biome Domination!
Through this, he expanded his Biome Bomb throughout the walls.
Tertiary Nature-Prana Stitch!
Once they had expanded enough, he stitched the ends to form a singular whole, a stitched
Biome Bomb that enveloped the cube, basically allowing him to extract data from the people
within.
Having elevated himself to the Mystic Grade, Inala was able to extract data without even alerting the target. Only someone at the Mystic Grade armed with a suitable detection means
could notice his actions.
‘Thanks to him, I’m finding out new information about the Wean Clansmen too.’ Inala thought, letting out a smirk as he observed Narkahamy, ‘He wasn’t born blessed with talent like Yarsha Zahara. But he’s crazy about knowledge, which is extremely similar to the
Brimgan Founder.’
‘Vara Accum…that’s a terrifying Nature. Its influence is very powerful too, not at the level of
Prana Circuit, but still very potent at the Gold Grade.’ His eyes glinted, inspired by the info he
was extracting from Narkahamy, ‘Accum…Accum…Accum…’
‘That’s it!’
