The Record of Orc Civilization

Chapter 67 Seal

Every sylph and his group members stared at Moku waiting for an answer from him. The sylphs waited for what Moku would say and waited for Nerphyl to order them to chase him away.

They believe Moku is just a braggart. They prepared to attack and sacrificed their lives to protect Nerphyl. While sylph stood on Laya's shoulder, Swa, Ez, and Tam prepared to possess them.

Things got tense again. Moku took a deep breath and felt like he was having deja vu.

This situation was the same as what happened when he was negotiating with the goblins. He managed to find a way out and make the goblin tribe submit to him.

However, the current situation is different. There was no historical connection or cooperation between orcs and sylphs. Orcs never thought of sylphs as a threat so they forgot about sylphs.

While the sylph is a very hidden race, so the encounter between orcs and sylphs throughout the history of the Bog forest, maybe this will be the first time it happened.

Nerphyl is not an easy opponent, she understands her strengths and weaknesses. She is like a master fighter who understands herself deeply.

The chances of Moku changing history or tricking Nerphyl are slim. He also couldn't make the other sylphs disobey Nerphyl, the influence of the sylph queen on the other sylphs was so great that it couldn't be contested.

In the end, Moku could only speak the truth.

"I don't have a definite plan on how to make you evolve. However, I do have a theory, which might make you rethink taking the side of the humans."

The sylphs chuckled and waited for Nerphyl's decision.

Nerphyl just nodded and asked Moku to explain his theory.

Putting one hand behind Moku started his explanation, "At first, just like the other monsters, I thought that Sylph had the ability to turn his body into a non-corporeal.

However, after confirming it with Iathra I discovered the fact that Sylph can actually turn their body into blood cells from the prey it bites.

So the true way for sylphs to be able to control someone is by getting into their blood, not by possessing their body.

This fact answers the reason why sylphs cannot possess humans because there is the mana flow in their bodies and causes the human body to reject the existence of sylphs.

This also happens with mutated animals, Sylphs can't possess them because they have mana organs in their bodies.

Likewise with me who has the power to control dragon prana so that it can resist the existence of Sylphs who want to possess me.

But the question arises, why did Sylph can possess orcs?" Moku stopped and looked at Nerphyl.

"Isn't it because the orcs haven't evolved yet that they don't have dragon prana in their bodies?" Nerphyl said.

"No, Nerphyl, you're wrong. Dragon prana has been in the orcs' bodies since they were born, even before orcs have evolved dragon prana is fully functional in their bodies.

The organ where the dragon prana is stored, the coc— has already absorbed the energy from the orc's body and used it for intercou—

hm..hm..hm

p So in theory, Sylphs shouldn't be able to possess orcs, just as Sylphs can't possess mutated animals that have mutated mana organs.

I even have a theory that the power and energy to evolve belong to all monster races.

But in reality, you guys have become a nightmare for all monster races. For decades we shunned you for fear of our bodies being controlled by you.

Although we can tell which members of our race are possessed by sylphs or not, your ability is a nightmare for the monster race.

This strange fact raises the question what is the real difference between humans, mutated animals, and monsters?" Moku was silent.

Moku's question made everyone think twice. They used to think that the biggest difference between mana species, mutated animals, and monsters was their proximity to mana.

However, Moku evolved from orcs to have the power of dragon prana that is not inferior to or greater than mana.

So this difference is not, a lack of power or not. But something bigger.

"KuMoku, tell us what the difference is. Don't go round and round again!" Nerphyl couldn't wait.

"This is just my theory, so it could be right or wrong.

I think the biggest difference between us and mana species and mutated animals is the seal.

Our powers are sealed, while they are not.

Humans turn their mana flow into constellations to gain mana controlling power.

Meanwhile, elves are required to blend with nature to be able to control their elements.

As for me, to be able to use the power of dragon prana I have to change form and dispose of my old body by evolving" Moku explained.

This time all eyes went wide, their breaths became heavy, and their lips parched.

With a trembling voice, Nerphyl said "M.M..Moku, your theory is very hard to believe, if our true power is sealed then why have we never felt the seal? Then what being can seal all the powers of a monster species?"

"I told you this theory could be wrong, it's just a theory. Then I don't know why our powers were sealed or it could be that the seal is a test for us. But what I can confirm is that we are not defective products.

Why I said our powers were sealed was due to the differences I mentioned earlier.

Even though humans didn't become mages, the sylphs were also incapable of possessing them. So it shouldn't be possible for sylphs to possess orcs that haven't evolved either.

Due to this strange fact, I've come to the conclusion that the real reason Sylphs can possess other monsters is not because of the absence of mana or prana organs but because of the absence of these two energies flowing in their blood.

Mana species and mutated animals have mana flowing in their veins whereas monsters don't have prana flowing in their blood.

That's why I said that the monster's power is sealed because the prana is only inside of their organs and doesn't flow out with their blood." Moku finished with a gloomy face.

He also felt that his theory was full of fault and error, but this was the most plausible reason for the difference between mana species, mutated animals, and monsters.

Nerphyl was silent and digested Moku's explanation, not a few minutes Nerphyl said in an even tone "KuMoku, your theory has many mistakes and gaps. But I also don't dare to say that your theory is wrong.

However, I don't understand what this sylph-possession ability has to do with your way of leading the sylph to become stronger? I found no correlation between the two."

"You are wrong!

Possession is the key to sylph evolution.

To evolve requires a trigger or catalyst that provokes the hidden power in the monster's body to rise.

This trigger or catalyst most likely comes from the monster's greatest weakness or greatest desire.

For the orc trigger or catalyst it is to see the girls nake— hm..hm..hm..

Then for the goblins maybe at the break of the body boundary.

Then for sylph maybe on possessing ability.

If you can control a body that has mana in its bloodstream then this might become a catalyst for sylph evolution" Moku opened his arms like an explorer discovering a new continent.

Nerphyl looked at Moku strangely, she said in a tone like teaching a child "Moku, don't you know that Sylphs will die or be seriously injured if they possess a mana species or mutated animal?

Have you been just talking in circles with unclear conclusions? Didn't I tell you I don't want to hear dream stories or wishful thinking?"

Moku took a deep breath "Nerphyl, I'm not saying this without any basis. I came to this conclusion because I believe I can help you possess the mutated animal."

Moku took out karambit from his pocket. This karambit is made of Golden Vulture Claw. However, after the fight with Stugo, this weapon becomes damaged and the blade is filled with cracks.

Moku raised his karambit up so that everyone in the cave could see it.

"This is the claw of a silver tier danger mutated animal. I only brought one and it is already full of cracks. So I can only use it once.

I hope you can take a closer look at this because it will be difficult to repeat a second time!

I don't want to have to run outside and look for another silver tier mutated animal. So watch this carefully!" Moku said in a loud voice.

After feeling all eyes on the karambit in his hand, Moku activated Bhimasuta Form.

Golden light crept out from the Bhimasuta Belt, quickly Moku's body was covered with tribal gold tattoos.

Moku tightened his grip on karambit and poured dragon prana into it "[Pringgadani]!"

Suddenly the karambit elongated and became sharper. All the sylphs stepped back seeing Moku activate the power of the mutated animal's claws.

"Nerphyl, this is the reason why I believe I can help you guys become stronger! With dragon prana control I can use the original power of the mutated animal's claws as well as other mutated organs.

If I can use it then there's a good chance that I will be able to seal it too.

If I succeed then the mutated animal will become like a monster whose power is sealed. So that means sylphs can possess them easily.

If sylph can possess mutated animals then you will have their powers and no longer need to be a human pet.

Nerphyl join us! Let's fight destiny and this world together!" Moku's voice boomed around the corner of the cave.

It thrills the sylphs of a nightmare that may not come true.

The Golden Vulture Claw shattered, shards flying through the air making the entire cavern seem to be filled with a sprinkling of falling golden stars.

Nerphyl looked at Moku's hand that was floating towards her. The gaze from Moku's red eyes filled with confidence and trust in her.

Nerphyl took a deep breath and opened her eyes for the first time.

A sapphire blue glint pierced the falling gold stars and fiery red eyes.
