67.21% Psychic Parasite: Final Serenity / Chapter 41: Edible Banana and Drinkable Water

章 41: Edible Banana and Drinkable Water

Aura Beasts!

The moment he saw them, the term popped into his mind. After all, Jyorta was able to feel a mild familiarity in them, one that caused him to shudder.

The aura he had expended at the start to break out of the aura personification had now been absorbed by the place to birth some Aura Beasts.

"Shit!" Jyorta condensed his two psychic arms, wrapping them around him into a bubble as he rolled on the ground, watching all the approaching Aura Beasts raise their hands his way.

Aura Beam!

More than ten Aura Beams slammed into the place he had been standing upon before, causing a tide of sand to spill over, forming a wave that drowned everything, also covering the oasis that he had been taking shade under.

To avoid on time, Jyorta had rolled on the ground, arriving at the foot of a sand dune to make it act as his shield. And now, he was buried under all the sand that fell on him.

"How the heck are they able to use my abilities?" Jyorta muttered in a daze before he gathered his bearings, pedalling through the sand as he slowly surfaced, exiting the sand as he noticed that he was surrounded by the Aura Beasts.

They were called Aura Beasts.

But in actuality, they looked no different to humanoid creatures sharing some resemblance to his facial features. After all, they had been formed by using his aura.

'That's strange.' He frowned, noticing that only their upper halves resembled him. But as for the lower halves, they resembled the legs of a lizard creature with a webbed feet pattern that allowed them to move better on this desert terrain.

One of the Aura Beasts jumped towards him, aiming a kick at his face when Jyorta glared at it, sending a minor pulse of aura mixed with corrosion at its head, disorienting its sense for an instant.

As its form destabilised, he bent backwards, dodging the attack before pulling his legs out of the sand. He immediately rolled on the ground, watching another Aura Beast land on the spot he was upon.

One of his psychic arms coiled around the neck of an Aura Beast, turning jet black as it snapped the neck, melting through it like it was jelly.

Jyorta retracted his defence, modifying both his psychic arms into blades as he spun his body a couple of times, turning their bladed ends jet black as they slashed through the Aura Beasts surrounding him.

Aura Wave!

Followed by the slash attacks was an Aura Wave that he used to send them all flying away as faint lightning bolts flickered across their bodies, melting them accordingly.

"Hahh…huff…" He grunted, collapsing to the ground in exhaustion as he felt difficulty in breathing for a moment. He then looked around, noticing that the damage to all the Aura Beasts was beginning to wane.

He observed the neck of the Aura Beast that he had melted through was beginning to regenerate too. Rather, the body began to condense a new head while the head too seemed to be condensing a new body.

But, it was apparent that the head would need a long time before it could finish condensing a body.

Jyorta arrived before it, thinking for a moment before he stomped on the head, noticing it cave into the sand a bit. He raised his leg high up and slammed forth with all his strength, shattering the head when he noticed some faint aura converge into his leg and course through his body, replenishing his reserves by a minute sum.

It was minute to the extent it was negligible.

"That's…surprising," Jyorta muttered in surprise, not because he received some aura from his opponent but because he could feel his presence turning tougher by a minute sum.

Fighting in this place was no different to tempering his presence, after all, he was here with only his presence, "This'll help me develop my Tower of God project better."

Thinking as such, Jyorta stomped on all the severed bodies of the Aura Beasts, destroying them all as he watched them dissipate soon after. "But, I've already expended all my aura reserves in this fight."

He was worried. Even if he could temper his presence thanks to the fight in the place, once his aura reserves were emptied, he would be helpless and in danger. After all, he was unaware of the repercussions of having his presence devoured here by the Aura Beasts.

"Let's gamble a bit." Jyorta thought before he started digging through the sand, soon pulling out a banana from within, gazing at it as he peeled its skin before taking a bite, laughing immediately.

"As expected, since this aura personification is taking energy from the outside world, and since the aura I expended allowed it to birth some Aura Beasts, it means those that resemble edible stuff are indeed beneficial."

Eating the banana replenished his aura reserves by a little. Seeing that, Jyorta began to eat through them all, noticing that he still had around five bananas left once his aura reserves were fully replenished.

He took out a banana leaf, made some cuts on it before creating a tiny bag to keep the bananas safe within as he tied it up around his hip.

Jyorta then used another piece of banana leaf to create a small cup as he approached the pond, one that had been almost fully buried. There was a small part of it still remaining as he scooped up some water and drank it, sighing in relief, "That is pretty tasty."

He then thought of something, shaping his weaker psychic arm into a bottle. Its entrance began to spin as it created a mild suction force, sucking in the water from the pond.

Once he sucked in around three litres of the water, he stopped, for the remainder was dirtied by the sand.

Though, Jyorta noticed that the sand was slowly sinking into the water as faint winds carried the rest away, nodding in surprise, "It seems this oasis would recover within a day to its original state."

He plucked a large banana leaf before attaching its ends to his shoulders, causing it to arch overhead, shielding him from the blinding sun. Upon noticing a couple of Aura Beasts far away, Jyorta turned around and began to walk away, intending to find another oasis to rest and plan his actions.

Sorry for the delays. The mass release for I Hate Systems messed up my schedule and made me sick. Now, I'll be releasing 2 chappies daily until I upload all the backlog chapters.

章 42: The Fusion of Impersonation and Manifestation

His weaker psychic arm carried the water and healed his body from time to time. As for the stronger psychic arm, it had layered atop his body, including the banana leaf shielding him from the heat. This way, he moved without the winds damaging it.

Moreover, he wrapped it around him, slowly modifying it accordingly as he moved, trying to optimise the design and reduce the air resistance it faced. 'Thanks to this banana leaf, the amount of psychic energy I'm expending to remain unaffected by the heat is less than a tenth of before.'

'But, how is this place working?' Jyorta was unable to make sense of it, closing his eyes to see that the blue soul was still able to take action. By sending out a Soul Cornea, he observed the corridor in which he now lay on the floor, eyes vacant, drooling a little.

The two Soul Corneas looked around, noticing a couple more Bone Family members lying on the corridor.

"Let's see what happens next." Jyorta thought as the blue soul extracted some memory fragments, creating a temporary false persona, layering it over him.

Immediately, his body got up, though it was wobbly. His eyes were closed, but his feet moved, allowing him to arrive before the elevator as his hands slowly moved up before pressing on the button.

Once the lift doors opened, he entered it and slumped on the floor once again, unable to maintain balance when the elevator moved down.

Thanks to the mental cues given by the temporary false persona, Jyorta entered a state akin to sleepwalking. Taking advantage of this, he moved his body accordingly, alternating the mental cues to force his body to move in the respective direction.

Though, this process was slow. After all, the changed mental clues had to take effect first before the body could move accordingly. But still, it was better than being trapped in the place.

Even though his body was moving in reality, his presence within the aura personification remained the same, not moving even a little. It seemed like his presence was locked up within the aura personification, just like what he had done to the presence of the Frenzy Beasts that he had killed in the Labyrinth of Frenzy.

'What would happen once my body escapes this sphere of influence?' He was curious, wishing to see just what was up.

In the aura personification, it seemed at first glance that he was trapped in the place. But in actuality, only his presence was trapped here. And, since all of his abilities, character, etc. were recorded in his presence, he hadn't realised this point.

"This is exactly what I plan to have in my project too." Jyorta nodded in response as his body—in reality—now arrived at the ground floor, wobbling around as it slowly walked forward, soon reaching the exit.

Suddenly, his body tumbled upon coming in contact with an energy barrier, about to collapse to the ground when a psychic arm grabbed hold of him.

Right at this time, his eyes shot open as he realised that he was back, looking around to see a lot of people surrounding the Bone Family mansion.

"Jyorta Bone, can you explain what had happened inside?" Psychic Ancestor Marble asked, having condensed a magenta figure to speak.

Jyorta didn't immediately reply, orienting his thoughts as he turned around, noticing his master, Vaika hovering in the air, constantly fuelling her aura into the barrier that was cast around the Bone Family mansion.

It seemed she was the reason the aura personification hadn't expanded in range.

Upon seeing him hesitate for a moment, Psychic Ancestor Marble erected a barrier around themselves, turning it magenta to prevent anyone else to figure out the contents of the conversation based on lip movement, "You can speak freely now."

"Yes," Nodding in response, Jyorta began to tell everything that Havita Bone had relayed to him. He also added in his thoughts on the matter, saying at the end, "This aura personification is one where our minds are trapped within our presences and sucked into this place. There are hints of Mind Path in this condensation of Aura Path."

"That's where it gets troublesome," Psychic Ancestor Marble frowned, "Mind Path is tough to guard against. Even though their bodies are unaffected and their aura reserves can simply be replenished through Regen, since their minds are trapped in the place, we cannot rescue them. How did you escape, Jyorta Bone?"

"Through the Soul Path, sir." Jyorta said in response, "I used my memories to give myself some mental cue and slowly cause my body to move. I used a state similar to sleep-walking to achieve this."

"But, it still doesn't explain how your mind returned to reality. All you did was escape the range of its influence. If this is all it requires, I can simply bring everyone out." Psychic Ancestor Marble continued after a moment of thought, "Let's just wait for Strongest to come here and take charge of things. He's the expert in this field."

An hour later, Rhachis Ancestor Strongest arrived at the scene, having already been briefed about everything by Psychic Ancestor Marble.

Upon seeing the aura personification that had enveloped the Bone Family mansion, he said with a frown, "Damn, to think this would happen naturally."

"Do you know about it?" Psychic Ancestor Marble asked curiously. Since this was the first time such a phenomenon had happened, he was probing for information from it first. Otherwise, he could easily snuff the place out of existence using his aura.

If there was a first, there was bound to be more in the future. So, they had to obtain enough information about everything before that.

Rhachis Ancestor Strongest then whispered to Psychic Ancestor Marble, "You know how the Earth is developing based on our growth, right? It influences changes in us and uses our accumulation to develop in the four Paths."

Seeing Psychic Ancestor Marble nod in response, he continued, "And, two abilities that are at the peak of the Aura Path have fused to create this…place."

"Dawn's Aura Impersonation and my Aura Manifestation."
