"Meanwhile, the 'Devourer's bracelet' contains various small gears regulating the Vylkr energy flow. These gears allow for controlled access to the Vylkr energy and serve as a safety mechanism, preventing an overwhelming influx of Vylkr energy that could harm the wielder, such as devouring the wielder if not properly controlled or other uncontrollable consequences," Leif continued.

"Individuals who can utilize the Devourer's bracelet have all undergone a compatibility process to determine their affinity with Vylkr energy. An individual's compatibility with it heavily influences the effectiveness of Vylkr energy. Higher compatibility leads to better results. However, due to the vicious nature of Vylkr energy, finding those who are compatible with it and able to utilize it is extremely difficult. As such, any positive result is considered a remarkable achievement," Leif explained.

Leif fell silent when he finished explaining, allowing them time to digest the information he had just revealed.

Meanwhile, the Village Chief, Orion, and the others couldn't help but delve deep into their thoughts again, reflecting on everything they had just heard. Orion, in particular, found himself amazed. Although he knew of a vast world with various races, the revelation of the Devourer's bracelet and its ability to harness Vylkr energy, even in its diluted form, was beyond his expectations.

He recalled the disastrous results the last time he attempted to test the Crystalforge Elite warriors' capability to utilize Vylkr energy a few months ago since they had reached a point where they could rival some of the warriors from the Village.

However, the outcome was so catastrophic that he dared not repeat the experiment on anyone else, regardless of the chances of success. Fortunately, the affected warrior had eventually recovered, alleviating any lingering concerns.

Orion furrowed his brows in confusion as a sudden thought entered his mind. He cleared his throat, capturing the attention of everyone present, "Although I understand everything you've just explained, there's one thing that I still don't understand. How exactly do you store the Vylkr energy? Even though you use a medium to use the Vylkr energy in its diluted form, you must have another approach to grow stronger, unlike how we create Vylkr containers to do so, right?" Orion questioned.

While the warriors had to create Vylkr containers within their bodies to enhance their strength and increase the amount of Vylkr energy they could use, Orion contemplated whether they could adopt a similar or use alternative methods to grow stronger.

Hearing Orion's question, the Village Chief, Stronghold Leader Zogar, and Stronghold Leader Seth's eyes widened in realization. They solemnly nodded in response, indicating their curiosity about whether the newcomers used the warriors' procedure to grow stronger or used alternative methods.

Leif nodded in acknowledgement upon hearing Orion's question. Although he was still astonished by the revelation that people here could use Vylkr energy without the need for the 'Devourer's bracelet' and unaware of how they stored their energy, given his recent arrival in the city, he proceeded to explain. Leif extended his right arm once more and uttered, "Boost."

Suddenly, a surge of inky black strands of Vylkr energy erupted from his right hand, gradually spreading to every part of his body. Within seconds, his entire form was enveloped in Vykr energy.

"Vylkr warrior mode," Stronghold Leader Zogar muttered under his breath.

Having witnessed this form during his battle with Captain Seig and the Lieutenant, he was less shocked than the other key figures beside him, whose eyes widened in disbelief.

Still, even though he had witnessed someone who hadn't yet reached their full potential utilize the Vylkr warrior mode, he was still aware that something about it seemed off, something he couldn't quite figure out.

The Village Chief, however, narrowed his eyes at Leif, whose entire body was covered in countless strands of Vylkr energy. "What are you trying to show us?" he asked, scepticism in his voice.

"Shh!" Leif gestured for them to remain silent. "Although I cannot physically demonstrate it, you will understand how we grow stronger if you listen," he explained.

The Village Chief and the others frowned but chose to remain silent.

Initially, they couldn't discern anything, but after a few seconds, the faint sound of a heartbeat resonated in their ears.

BADDUUM!!

BADDUUM!!

The Village Chief, Orion, Stronghold Leader Zogar, and Stronghold Leader Seth were stunned by what they had just heard. Their keen ears had allowed them to quickly pick up the heartbeat, with the others following suit, displaying the same astonished expressions.

"That is my 'Devourer's heart,' to briefly explain it, the Devourer's heart serves as a miniature regulator, controlling the flow and distribution of the Vylkr energy within the bracelet. Within it are micro-sized gears and channels designed to handle the nuances of the Vylkr energy; these gears act as valves, adjusting the amount of energy released with each pulse, mimicking the natural pumping action of a heart."

"This ensures a rhythmic and controlled infusion into the wielder's body. Due to this, a seamless integration between my life force and the 'Devourer's heart' is formed," Leif said, taking a deep breath as he continued.

"So the more I utilize the Vylkr energy through the vials, the more my 'Devourer's heart' grows stronger as it learns to handle more of the Vylkr energy, which, in turn, strengthens me. Because my life force and it are connected, if anything happens to my 'Devourer's heart,' I will be as good as dead. That's why I cannot show it to you," Leif explained, a deep sigh escaping his lips as he deactivated his Devourer's bracelet, allowing the countless strands of Vylkr energy to retract back into the bracelet.

"Of course, I can also use it like this. That form is only to maximize the use of the Devourer's heart," Leif added, waiting for their response.

After witnessing Leif's demonstration and hearing his explanation, the key figures, including Orion, slumped back in their seats.

While listening to Leif's explanation, though they had all expected something entirely different from their existing knowledge, none of them had anticipated this.

How in Naka's name was such a thing possible?
