Chapter 941: A Cheap Transformation

State of Harmony—Human Avatar Extraction!

It allowed KalTara to extract a Human Avatar and store it in the tusk of his Boar King form. Since he had two tusks, he could store two Human Avatars. This was his limit, and upon activation, the Human Avatar would display its effects and vanish once KalTara stops supplying it with Prana.

The greatest advantage with this method was the fact that KalTara was no longer limited to using the power of Natures alone. Suppose he used the Nature of Kinesis Deity, it would grant him a ten times boost in Spirit Weapon range, not to mention spiking the speed and power his psychokinesis could imbue into a Spirit Weapon.

But if he had a Rutham Human Avatar, he could harness the entirety of a Brimgan Royal's power. Basically, he would be treating the Rutham Human Avatar in his tusk as a Spirit Weapon, and this Human Avatar would have all the respective Brimgan Royal's power, from Mystic Kinesis Art to Skills and Prime Skills.

But most of all, through it, KalTara could assume the respective Human Avatar form. Using it meant instantly making an enemy of the entire Free Human Race. However, the Wean Clan's build was based on consuming other entities and wielding their Natures.

They were hated by other Races anyway, so things didn't change much. Moreover, Free Humans weren't powerful enough to be a bother, except for the Varahan Empire and the Brimgan Empire.

There were other Free Human Empires in the region, but they weren't as scary as the Brimgan Empire.

KalTara had considered many things and judged that even though revealing his power prematurely would backfire, the Wean Clan could handle the aftermath.

After all, stretching from Binkn Megacity through an underground tunnel was a railway line that reached all the way into the Kalahatra Desert, connecting the Wean Clan to its sister races.

Currently, all the Boar variants birthed in the Kalahatra Desert had an insatiable hunger. It was a dangerous issue. However, there was also a solution to the problem.

Clansmen!

As long as these Pranic Beast groups formed their respective Ravaged Tribe groups and eventually turned them into Clansmen, the resulting evolution would change them for the better, as long as they focus on mitigating their hunger aspects during the Ravaged Tribe creation process.

And they had the perfect material to facilitate this process—Free Humans from the Varahan Empire.

Thanks to building Vara Human Avatars, the Free Humans of the Varahan Empire had a higher affinity to the Prana of the Empyrean Boar Race and its variants birthed at the Kalahatra Desert. Therefore, turning their newborn into Ravaged Tribesmen brought about the best results.

When the civil war started at the Varahan Empire, causing a fracture between the Free Humans and the Wean Clansmen, there was still a group of Free Humans who followed the Wean Clan and migrated to the three Megacities.

The Wean Clan initially accepted them, as the situation was desperate. However, once they stabilised and began to increase their population, these Free Humans became an eyesore. The upper echelons of the Wean Clan intended to gradually erase these Free Humans from their territory, since they could be instigated to rebel against the Wean Clan.

It had already happened once in the Varahan Empire, when there was no need for such a rebellion. The Free Humans were treated the best in pretty much all of Sumatra and given conditions their ancestors couldn't even dream about in their wildest fantasies.

If even after being a part of utopia and treated with care wasn't enough for them, causing them to rebel and create a civil war, it was just a matter of time before the group in the three Megacities repeated the same.

And hence, the Wean Clan was systematically targeting the Free Humans under them by taking advantage of the civil war. Through the chaos, large groups of these Free Humans were shipped to the Kalahatra Desert.

This was after KalTara extracted their Human Avatars. He then equipped these Human Avatars to Wean Clansmen who infiltrated the Varahan Empire and lived in hiding there. One of them was the beggar who took action to save DaraBuntara.

With their Human Avatars extracted, the Free Humans were powerless as they were transported to the Kalahatra Desert. They couldn't even feel Prana anymore, since they didn't have a Spirit Container—a Free Human at the Body Stage would build a mineral into their Spirit Container, resulting in the Human Avatar.

These Free Humans were merely a breeding nest to create more of their kind for the Pranic Beasts at the Kalahatra Desert. And as the war progressed, the Wean Clan captured Free Humans from the Varahan Empire, and transported them all to the Kalahatra Desert.

KalTara had facilitated this entire setup without the awareness of Shuwrak Zahara. That was why he sidelined Shuwrak Zahara gradually, alongside every Free Human of importance in the Wean Clan's side.

It was done with purpose.

The Kalahatra Desert became a blessed land thanks to soaking up the influence of the Celestial Boar and the Royal Zinger, who cleaned up the destructive part of their respective State of Unity and only retained the nurturing aspects of their influence in the region.

A blessed land and a large number of Sister Races, and a basically infinite number of Gold Grade existences; KalTara had already made a decision the day he arrived at the Kalahatra Desert and made contact with the Forest Boars.

The Wean Clan had the capacity to make the entirety of the Free Human Race their enemies.

"Replace us?" KalTara chuckled as he stared at Narkahamy, "Did you forget whose power you stole, Narkahamy?"

"Whatever you create through this stolen power, I can reclaim it."

Human Avatar—Reactive Jade!

Reactive Jade was only a Silver Grade mineral. And it couldn't react to more than one attack at a time. But that was enough, as KalTara only intended to use it to counter Narkahamy's strongest attack. As for the rest, he had a strong countermeasure.

Tertiary Nature—Astral Chart!

Astral Chart—Shredded Lunge x10!

KalTara had mastered the Nature of Shredded Lunge and could wield it better than the original. Moreover, he found out that in his Pranic Beast form, Shredded Lunge was more destructive than Prana Shock or other Iron Grade Natures that could be stacked in Astral Chart.

The Empyrean Boar Race had plenty of specialities, but most of them were related to consumption and digestion. Their physical capabilities weren't any special among Gold Grade Pranic Beasts.

However, the Boar King was different. This was the diluted version of a creature that had evolved specifically to predate the strongest existence under the Mystic Grade—Empyrean Tusk.

It was an endurance hunter, capable of sprinting across Sumatra for long durations at its top speed. The Empyrean Boar King could run about at hypersonic speeds for months.

The Celestial Boar wasn't capable of the same, since it had evolved to be more of a fighter than a hunter in order to face the Mystic Seven.

As an endurance hunter, Shredded Lunge was more compatible with the Boar King's physique. Moreover, the source of Shredded Lunge, the Razor Rat hailed from the Varahan Enclave and had been systematically consumed by the Empyrean Boar Race for thousands of years.

Therefore, the Wean Clan had better compatibility in using this Nature, as their ancestors had suffered under this Nature's influence for generations.

Boom!

The Reactive Jade Boar King flickered from its spot and crashed into the Vara Boar King, generating powerful shockwaves as wind blades from both sides tore into each other.

The two monsters crashed into each other repeatedly. And by the fourth clash, a Spirit Weapon appeared next to the Vara Boar King and flashed once, pulsing with a Ring Blade that cut into the Reactive Jade Boar King.

Blessed Influence—Manoeuvre!

Blessed Influence—Ring Blade!

Narkahamy alternated in activating the two Blessed Influence, noticing that he was steadily pushed back, suffering more wounds instead, 'His Astral Chart is able to output equal power to my Blessed Influence.'

'It's indeed a cheat-like Nature!' Narkahamy thought as he fired off attacks one after another, watching the Empyrean Boar aurora in the sky grow more and more potent as time passed, 'Good! Everything's going as planned!'

"This is…I feel strange." Seated in the audience stands was Mesupoh, in a daze as he watched the fight. He stared at his hands and noticed goosebumps had formed on them. He then lifted his head and observed the Empyrean Boar aurora in the sky as a tear drop trickled down his eyes, "I see…"

"I understand, Boss." Mesupoh turned his hands into his Vara Human Avatar form, watching it absorb the influence permeating the region as a result of the clash between the two existences in battle.

One after another, the Gold Grade Free Humans of the Varahan Empire partially used their Human Avatar forms and began to absorb the Empyrean Boar aurora, feeling enlightened. Simultaneously, tears streamed down their eyes as they finally comprehended the Varahan Emperor's motives.

"Something seems amiss!" The Panger, Loya was the first to notice the oddity as it turned around and stared at Inala, intending to confirm its doubts, "Are you feeling it too…"

"Leukeu?" It paused in shock as it noticed that Inala's hands now looked to be made from Vara. And strangely, the latter's eyes were moist. "What…is happening here?"

"Shut up and watch, Loya." Inala let out a mild sigh as he stared at Narkahamy with expressions of both pride and pity, 'You had a chance to enter the Mystic Grade. With your talents, it wouldn't have even taken you that long. But you…'

'You're doing something that will make you a legend among the Free Humans just like the Brimgan Founder…No, you're a step above him.' Inala said as he raised his hand and saluted, noticing the power of a Secondary Nature naturally appear in his hands as it continued to drink the Empyrean Boar aurora.

Astral Chart—Prana Shock x10!

Within KalTara's stomach were piles of Vara, each a Spirit Weapon with the Nature of Gracious Inheritance. Thanks to Gracious Inheritance, they acted as containers to stably store more Natures in a smaller volume, as they were Human Avatars in deactivated states.

Therefore, they only appeared to be as big as a Spirit Container, which was their deactivated state.

In each such piece of Vara, KalTara stored ten Natures. He stopped supplying Prana to his Astral Chart and noticed the ten Natures of Shredded Lunge vanish. Immediately after, one Vara piece in his stomach was digested as ten Natures of Prana Shock appeared in his Astral Chart.

This was his method to stably bring more Natures on his being without messing up his mind. Even in his human form, he could store around ten or more such pieces of Vara. Of course, this method had issues, in that his stomach acids will quickly digest them, even if he tries his best to not do so.

The longer they remained in his stomach, the stronger his sense of hunger grew. Therefore, this method of storage was temporary, at most allowing KalTara to carry them for a few days. It had strategic advantages in that KalTara could prepare himself before a fight and take complete advantage of Astral Chart.

Every few seconds, KalTara switched up the Natures in his Astral Chart and bombarded Narkahamy, exhibiting strength surpassing the latter's Blessed Influence. And then, when the opportunity presented itself, he rammed his tusks into the latter's body.

Narkahamy retaliated with his strongest Ring Blade, watching it become ineffective as KalTara's Reactive Jade reacted to counter it. He had been prepared for it ever since he saw KalTara's usage of Reactive Jade and activated Astral Stack, polluting the Ring Blade he had unleashed by stacking the Blessed Influence of Macro Eye atop it.

'It's a dud!' KalTara realised it and deactivated his Reactive Jade Human Avatar, reverting to his Boar King form as pieces of Reactive Jade fell to the ground. He wasn't bothered, because Reactive Jade was only intended to waste Narkahamy's focus through the fight.

And now, his tusk—which had become empty—stabbed into Narkahamy. A second later, KalTara used Shredded Lunge stacked ten times to retreat, having stolen the Blessed Influence of Vara Boar King.

"What can you do now, Narkahamy?" He grinned upon seeing the figure of Narkahamy that had reverted to human form. "I stole your strongest…"

"I have more of it in reserve," Narkahamy said as his figure morphed once again.

Blessed Influence—Vara Boar King!

"For the resulting power, the available Natures are commonly available in the market," Narkahamy said as he resumed his counterattack, "Basically,"

"It's a cheap transformation."
