Chapter 166 Vithaen Possession Art
Moku placed Nerphyl on the folded cloth gently. Even though her face was still pale, the smile on her lips showed satisfaction. Moku also smiled seeing this little warrior, he kissed his wife's cheek gently.
"Leave the rest to me" Moku said calming Nerphyl who was still unconscious.
He then stood up and walked towards the Mutated Tiger who was still unconscious from feeling Moku's killing intent. When he sensed that Mutated Tiger was conscious earlier, Moku directed half-killing intent to make Mutated Tiger faint again.
Moku lifted the Mutated Tiger with ease and carried it to the center of the cave. He put down the Mutated Tiger's body and gripped its head tightly. This is the first stage of the Vithaen Possession Art, Moku must seal the mana organs of the mutated animal so that the mana inside doesn't interfere with Nerphyl during the ritual process.
This mana sealing concept has a reverse approach from Pringgadani. Where when using the Pringgadani mantra, Moku controls the mana in mana organs to use their true power. But in the process of sealing Moku uses the mana in the mana organ to seal the exit.
This is easy to do because dragon prana is able to eat the mana in the mutated animal's mana organ. In this way, the more the mana in the organ wants to get out of the seal, the stronger the seal will be.
After sealing the mana organ, the Mutated Tiger would no longer be able to use the mana in its body. Only one organ that Moku needs to seal in an copper tier danger mutated tiger so that the process takes place quickly.
The second stage of the Vithaen Possession Art is making ritual symbols. Some of these symbols have the same shape as the sylph's process of inheriting The Eyes of Queen, but there is a slight difference where the blue eyes symbol will be replaced with the fangs and claws symbol.
Nerphyl's mother drew this symbol using her blood during the ritual of inheriting The Eyes of Queen. This was done because the blood of the previous sylph queen would be the catalyst for the process of inheriting abilities. But unfortunately the sylph blood is not so strong that it is able to carry the mana power that is in the mutated animal's mana organ.
Even so, there was blood that was far stronger than the blood of the sylph queen, namely the blood of an asura who had crossed the limits of his astral body. Moku took a sharp knife from behind his songket and sliced his wrist but the blood he was waiting for did not come.
The sharp iron blade was unable to penetrate Moku's skin. Moku took a deep breath, the strength of this body was extraordinary but sometimes it became a hindrance when he wanted to do small things like this.
Moku was forced to use dragon prana to make his skin and flesh softer then for a second time he sliced his wrist. Blood spilled on the cave floor but within a split second the wound on Moku's wrist disappeared again. He took another deep breath, slightly amazed by his body's regenerating ability.
Even without using dragon prana, Moku's current body regeneration ability is many times faster than normal orcs. He was forced to use the same method to continue slicing his wrist.
Moku started to draw the ritual symbols of Vithaen Possession Art slowly. These symbols weren't that complicated but the time it took was longer because he had to keep slicing his hands to get the blood out.
But a few hours later Moku managed to draw all the symbols perfectly. Mutated Tiger had woken up several times in that period of time but Moku immediately knocked him back unconscious with his killing intent. He restrained his killing intent so as not to kill Mutated Tiger but Moku didn't care about Mutated Tiger's sanity.
After all, with the mental weakening of the Mutated Tiger, Nerphyl's mental battles would later become easier.
Along with the last symbol he drew, Nerphyl woke up. Her face was no longer pale and the cold sweat had stopped flowing. Moku threw the water bottle at Nerphyl, "Recover your body first, we will start the ritual when you are really ready" said Moku.
Nerphyl nodded and started drinking. She closed her eyes to condition her mind.
Moku walked towards the Mutated Tiger and dragged his body towards the largest circle. Moku then took out a rope and tied the four Mutated Tiger's legs tightly. He didn't want the Mutated Tiger to run away during the ritual process.
Maybe it would be good if Moku cut off the Mutated Tiger's four legs but he was afraid that this would have a negative effect during the body retrieval process later. So he wanted the Mutated Tiger's body intact without any injuries.
Moku took some blood from the Mutated Tiger and put it in a small bottle. Then he used dragon prana to cover all the wounds on the Mutated Tiger's body. Moku not only treats wounds caused by himself but also all wounds on the Mutated Tiger's body due to hunting or fighting other mutated animals.
It didn't take long for Nerphyl to open her eyes "Moku I'm ready" said Nerphyl calmly. She wasn't in a rush and she wasn't too excited but she was ready to face whatever she would encounter during the Vitahen Possession Art process.
Nerphyl flapped her wings and flew into a small circle. Moku nodded and handed her a small vial containing Mutated Tiger's blood. "Drink, whenever you want to start the Vithaen Possession Art process" said Moku.
Nerphyl nodded and closed her eyes again. She took a deep breath and let it out of her mouth. She tried to calm her pounding heart. This was the start of her new life, if she failed then she would regret it from the grave. There was no turning back for her after this. But if she succeeds then she will meet a new world that she has never seen before.
Nerphyl opened her eyes and immediately drank the Mutated Tiger's blood. She didn't want to lose courage because it took too long to do.
Mutated Tiger's blood went into her throat and quickly evaporated flowing from all the cells in her body. Nerphyl's body trembled as she felt a chill radiate from her stomach to her entire body. Her blue glowing eyes started to lose focus and then her body gave off a dazzling blue light.
Moku saw the symbols in the small circle where Nerphyl was standing shining brightly. The blue light gradually began to descend and enter into a small circle joining the symbols he drew with his blood.
The symbols in the small circle disappeared into the blue light and then crept onto the track surrounded by The walking duck symbols standing on their right and left like a parade troop ushering in a king.
The walking duck symbols disappeared along with the blue light that continued to advance towards the large circle where the Mutated Tiger was. Until the blue light enters the big circle and makes all the symbols in the big circle shine brightly.
Moku activated his inner eye and saw blue energy entering the Mutated Tiger's body but the mana in Mutated Tiger's body denied the existence of the blue energy. That's when the symbols in the big circle started to react.
They were like thousands of energy troops breaking into the Mutated Tiger's defenses. Slowly the symbols in the large circle disappeared along with the depletion of the Mutated Tiger's mana defense.
The mana in the Mutated Tiger's body was pressed, they asked for help from the Mutated Tiger's mana organ but the seal that Moku placed closed the possibility that help would arrive. Even if the Mutated Tiger's mana organ continued to rampage but that effort would only strengthen the seal that Moku had placed.
The Mutated Tiger's body began to tremble its eyes opened sensing the approaching danger. She tried to struggle and get out of the big circle but Moku had tied her four hands. After all, with Moku supervising the Vithaen Possession Art process, it was impossible for the Mutated Tiger to be released by struggling.
Finally the defense created by the mana in the Mutated Tiger's body was broken, blue light entered the Mutated Tiger's body. At the same time all the symbols in the big circle disappear because they are no longer needed.
"ROOAAARRRR!!!!" f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
It wasn't long before the Mutated Tiger's body glowed blue. The Mutated Tiger was still struggling and its roar was loud in the cave. She sounded in so much pain as if another creature was trying to replace her brain but she couldn't move.
Then the frightened Mutated Tiger's eyes lost their light and the Mutated Tiger lost consciousness. Her head fell to the cave floor and her body stopped struggling. She looked like she was asleep but the blue light that enveloped her body indicated that the Vithaen Possession Art was still in progress.
Gradually a blue membrane began to wrap around the Mutated Tiger's body. Until finally the body of the Mutated Tiger was replaced with a blue cocoon. From here the real battle will begin.
Moku can no longer take part in this process, he just needs to pray and believe in Nerphyl.
Moku took a deep breath and sat cross-legged at the mouth of the cave. He would take guard on the blue cocoon so no one will disturb Nerphyl. Moku closed his eyes and activated his inner eye. Half his attention was on the blue cocoon and the other half was wary of the threat outside the cave.
