440 Yarsha’s Absurd Human Avatar
Racing up the sloped roads was a carriage. Seated within was a couple having the time of their lives, admiring the changing scenery. Karuta Hill was a popular tourist attraction and very well deserved the title.
Hiding in the girl's Secondary Nature Slot was Virala, his mind occupied with the information he had gained from the Varahan Mansion just now. 'Fucking hell. Yarsha Zahara has become even more absurd as compared to Sumatra Chronicles!'
Primary Nature—Incident Nature Reflection!
This absurd Nature worked in regard to every single Nature. When the effects of a Nature touches Yarsha Zahara's Human Avatar, the ability gets absorbed by her and falls under her control. She is then able to reflect it onto her target.
Though she isn't able to store any Natures in her body like the Astral Chart, Yarsha Zahara's Human Avatar became immune to the effects of all Natures. At the Mystic Grade, she's able to absorb and reflect as many Natures as she's trained to handle.
The limit was herself. Basically, if she's able to handle a hundred Natures at a moment, she could train to increase the limit. She only grew stronger over time.
At the Misty Flake Tea House, when Wittral targeted her using Subtle Terrain Domination, Yarsha Zahara took control of the ability. It was why the air he attacked her with fell under her control once she activated her Human Avatar.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFollowing that, she touched a Satellite with her Human Avatar, absorbing its Nature too, using which she transformed the wind
—under the effects of Subtle Terrain Domination—into a Satellite that consciously followed her and protected her.
This way, she didn't have to employ her brainpower to actively control it, for that was foolish to do before Wittral. The best example was Amita. Even though she had the Nature of Subtle Terrain Domination too, no matter how much she trained in it, she would never come close to Wittral who was born to wield this power.
Hence, if Yarsha Zahara were to face Wittral using Subtle Terrain Domination, she would be destroyed casually by her opponent. It was why she spontaneously thought up a counter and grabbed a cup made using a Satellite.
By absorbing its Nature, she combined its power with Subtle Terrain Domination, as a result obtaining a defensive entity that would protect her from Wittral. Moreover, had Wittral continued to attack her, he would only have resulted in the creation of more Satellites working for her.
She hardly expended much Prana through the conversion as she simply turned Wittral's power against him. This was what made her terrifying.
With a Human Avatar made of Sumatra Gold, Yarsha Zahara became an entity immune to the effects of all Natures. Of course, there was an inherent weakness to this, which was why she was injured by Wittral's first attack.
Only her Human Avatar was immune to the Natures. It means that until she activates it, she is killable. Moreover, at present, only her fingertips could become Sumatra Gold once she activated her Human Avatar, for that was how much she had built it, having only used one piece of Sumatra Gold.
Only on the day when she reaches the peak of the Body Stage would she truly become invincible and an existence as dangerous as the Boar King. When necessary, Yarsha Zahara could hang around the Boar King and act as his armour by tanking all the Natures being used to attack him.
She'll then combine them as she pleases—such as the combo of Subtle Terrain Domination and Satellite against Wittral—and face their enemies while the Boar King could casually swat them down without issues.
They would be an unrivalled combo, 'Even if I were to become strong in the future, she'll remain a hard counter towards me. And the moment she comes in contact with my Prana, she'll be able to use Weaponisation.'
Yarsha Zahara couldn't create the Nature from scratch. She wasn't absorbing the Nature itself like the Boar King. All she did was absorb the effects of a Nature and use it.
Supposed Wittral consumed 100 units of Prana to activate Subtle Terrain Domination on the surrounding air and targeted Yarsha Zahara with it. Once she absorbed it, Yarsha Zahara only had a volume of air with the effect of Subtle Terrain Domination worth 100 units of Prana. Once the volume was expended, she would be unable to use Subtle Terrain Domination anymore.
It wasn't an accumulation ability like Virala's Weaponisation and the Boar King's Astral Chart or Voracious Nature. It was a reactive type ability that allowed her to counter the effects of Natures targeted at her.
'If she's able to use Weaponisation, no matter for how short, she'll be able to equip my Nature Weapons on her being.' He thought in frustration. If Yarsha Zahara manages to steal two of his Mystic Grade Nature Weapons and equip them to her two empty Nature Slots, then she'll become even more terrifying.
The absolutely worst combination would be her obtaining his Nature Weapons of Tusk and Leech. With them, not only would she obtain a robust body that could shrug off most attacks without issues, but she'd also be able to recover from sneak attacks to her body in situations where she failed to activate her Human Avatar on time.
It was why he left in a hurry upon gaining information about her powers. At present, based on the people whose powers he knew about, Virala realised that Yarsha Zahara was a hard counter towards everyone except Blola.
Everyone else would only end up giving her ammo to work with. 'The Boar King will come out of his hiding spot in three days and meet with her. Fourteen months later, my time will come. After seeing her then, he won't be coming out for an entire year. That's the best window to target her.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Before meeting her, I need to make plans. Otherwise, I'll only end up strengthening her with my Nature Weapons.' Virala began to make plans accordingly.
"We're here." The girl shouted as the carriage arrived at the peak of Karuta Hill. She got down in a hurry alongside her boyfriend and walked through the place. As she walked through the place, she came across a cliff when an orb jumped out of her body and dropped down from the cliff.
"Did you see anything?" The girl turned towards the cliff and frowned, only able to see mist cover her vision.
"I didn't see anything." Her boyfriend said and pointed her towards a restaurant, "That's a famous scenic spot. We can see the Tusk from it. Let's eat there."
"Do you have enough money to afford the place?"
"Of course, anything for you, darling!"
While the couple showered each other with flowery words, a pair of moustaches extended out of the orb and acted as springs while the orb bounced off the indentations on the cliff. It was a comical sight of tumbling down haphazardly but was pretty efficient as Virala ensured his orb form wasn't damaged.
He had kept the Nature Weapons of Tusk and Leech equipped in his base state, for they were useful for pretty much all the situations unless he had something specific in mind. As the orb fell through the mist, Virala was able to see the severed tusk of the Mammoth Ancestor come into view, 'It's as grand as in the pictures. But why does it look more haggard than before?'
As he continued to fall, Virala noticed a small team of Empyrean Zingers in miniature form busy scuttling about on its surface, seemingly absorbing something from it due to the fluctuations of Prana emanating from them.
And as they absorbed something, the condition of the Mammoth Ancestor's tusk worsened. Instantly, Virala knew what was happening, 'Inala, that fucker! He's stealing all the inheritances!'
"Fuckers! Don't screw with me! That's MINE!"
