I'll Surpass The MC

Chapter 257 Terrifying Power

Mystic Grade Secondary Nature—Weaponisation!

Reaching this point generated endless confidence in Virala, because it unleashed an ocean of opportunities. First of all, at the Mystic Grade, his Secondary Nature allowed him to unleash hundred percent of a Nature Weapon's power. contemporary romance

This directly allowed him to exercise the full extent of a Nature stored in a Nature Weapon, making him a lot stronger than before. That wasn't all.

There was one other aspect that had been unlocked in his Secondary Nature, coming as a surprise to even him. It wasn't either of the two choices he had thought were possible before.

Reaching the Mystic Grade with his Secondary Nature neither opened up a fourth slot nor allowed him to equip and unequip his Secondary Nature of Weaponisation. But what he obtained was even better.

He could use Weaponisation on himself. Basically, if Virala were to use his Secondary Nature on himself, his body would shrink into a fist-sized sphere, becoming a Nature Weapon.

But unlike in the case of his targets, he wouldn't be dead. Rather, he would maintain full sentience. Best of all, this Nature Weapon could enter a target's body and occupy one of its slots.

Before using Weaponisation on himself, Virala could equip the other two slots with Nature Weapons. Following that, even if he were to transform himself into a Nature Weapon, the effects of all three Natures would be contained in it.

This way, he could equip Internal Astral Cultivator and then transform into a Nature Weapon. Following that, he would target a Shock Lizard, one of the most commonly fused Pranic Beasts of the Mammoth Clan.

He would occupy its Secondary Nature slot. After that, by taking advantage of the influence a Nature had on its host, he would make the Shock Lizard target its brethren. The influence would be done in such a way that the Shock Lizard would achieve all the necessary conditions first before targeting its brethren.

Virala would activate his Secondary Nature of Weaponisation right then and transform the target into a Nature Weapon. It would then be equipped on his Shock Lizard's Tertiary Nature slot.

Following that, he would use the Tertiary Nature as fuel for the Shock Lizard's Primary Nature, as a result reinforcing the Primary Nature. By the end of the first round, the Shock Lizard would fully accustom itself to the process, able to target its brethren more easily the next time.

Thereby, one after another, the Shock Lizard would consume its brethren and use their Primary Natures as fuel to cultivate its own. As its Primary Nature goes from Iron Grade to Silver Grade, its strength would spike accordingly.

Of course, since Virala achieved all the conditions necessary for turning the Shock Lizard's body into a Nature Weapon, he wouldn't have to fear even if its Nature reaches the Mystic Grade. However, he only planned to cultivate it to the Gold Grade for the time being.

After all, if a Mystic Grade Nature were to form in a Pranic Beast, its Prana might emanate the effect, alerting the Boar King. He wasn't sure about it, but the possibility existed.

Virala didn't wish to court death. He would only elevate his Nature Weapons to Mystic Grade when he had the strength to protect himself from a possible attack by the Boar King.

The only reason his Secondary Nature of Weaponisation didn't alert the Boar King was due to his identity as a Mammoth Clansman. The Pranic Beast his Spirit Container had fused with was an Empyrean Tusk.

Therefore, its presence was fixed at Expert Gold Grade. Moreover, once his Secondary Nature reached Mystic Grade, his Mystic Bone Art combined with it naturally, for they were both the essence of what made a Mammoth Clansman a Mammoth Clansman.

It was the result of their fusion that allowed Virala to transform himself into a Nature Weapon without issues. Hence, the resultant energy fluctuation was only displayed as Expert Gold Grade level.

After an hour of meditation, Virala understood the ins and outs of his Secondary Nature, becoming excited in response. He triple-checked the cave and ensured not a single trace of him was there.

He carried the crossbow that was used to shoot the Bone Slips into the three Settlements, making his way to the Red-Draft River. He threw it there, watching until it got destroyed under crossfire between two Pranic Beasts.

Sleeping in the shallow waters there was a male Centinger, depressed as it had failed its mating season.

The waters barely submerged it, as it was asleep at a shallowed region. Virala used a Skill to conceal his presence, hiding all traces of himself. He waited until ensuring the coast was clear, moving forth only after confirming the Centinger wasn't emitting Prana to keep track of its surroundings.

Well, it needn't do that since its brethren were nearby, all sleeping to swallow their sadness of having lost in the mating season.

Centingers were docile creatures by nature, despite possessing terrifying combat prowess that they displayed only during their mating season. They were very difficult prey for even Gold Grade Pranic Beasts.

Hence, to ensure they remained docile, not many Pranic Beasts targeted them.

The Red-Draft River had a tinge of red to its waters, sporting boiling undercurrents amidst the overall cold river. The boiling undercurrents were dangerous, and actively avoided by most of the Pranic Beasts native to the river, as their bodies would be damaged upon contact.

With a breadth surpassing two hundred kilometres, and an unknown depth that hadn't been explored to date, the Red-Draft River was home to a large variety of Pranic Beasts, many of which were eerily terrifying. Due to the more intense conflicts in the water, the Pranic Beasts there had mutated in strange directions, possessing twisted Natures.

Virala walked forward until his feet touched the river water, observing the minor waves reach his ankle. After some observation, he judged how the waves in the vicinity worked. Arriving at a suitable spot, he transformed into a Nature Weapon.

The transformation released a flux of Prana, causing the closest Centinger to wake up promptly. It looked around and failed to see any enemies. Reflexively, it radiated Prana and detected a shiny object in the water, slowly approaching it.

The object resembled the shells common throughout the Red-Draft River but seemed different somehow. Staring at it for a couple of seconds, the Centinger felt an urge to swallow it, for it seemed…tasty.

It wasn't rash though and inspected thoroughly. In the end, the Centinger didn't notice any cause for concern and decided to satiate its desire. One of its scuttling legs picked up the sphere and threw it into its mouth.

Prana surged out of its body in response as the Centinger suddenly felt stronger, brimming with power. A vast sea of memories flowed into its mind, imprinting upon it, carrying with them an ego, one that was pretty potent.

The Centinger felt giddy upon obtaining a Secondary Nature, getting excited in response. It soon calmed down as it understood what had to be done to grow even stronger.

It first did a set of activities as influenced by its Secondary Nature, allowing Virala to complete the set procedures necessary to transform it into his Nature Weapon.

Following that, the Centinger stared at its closest brethren and casually spilled some water on the latter, achieving one condition. The others looked at it oddly, but the Centinger continued with its bizarre actions.

As its actions didn't harm them, the Centingers didn't attack it. They expressed their irritation but none had the motivation to do anything after failing to mate with their females.

The Centinger didn't stop at one and continued with its actions until it achieved the conditions for all its brethren in the region. After that…?

It attacked the closest Centinger.
