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. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.
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.
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!"
