Psychic Parasite: Final Serenity - Chapter 44

Aura Induction—Tattoo!

Jyorta seeped his two psychic arms into the opened hole in the egg, wrapping them over the creature within, unleashing the effect.

The opponent was a creature created by aura, and hence, he was able to affect it. At first, the creature tried to resist his influence, actually beginning to shave off the effects of his tattoo, and had even begun to destroy it.

But, as it was just a newborn, Jyorta was able to trump it as he constantly modified the tattoo according to its aura signature, ensuring that it would fall under the hallucination.

It was the first time he had spent so long against a creature, taking almost ten minutes before it fell under the effects of his hallucination. But, before he could even begin to bring it out of its egg and observe it, Jyorta was alarmed, turning around to see a small dot in the sky, heading towards the nest from afar.

“Dammit, that must be their mother.” He understood that the moment the mother arrived, he would be devoured. Just the hatchlings were strong, not to mention the creature that would have birthed them.

Jyorta didn’t wish to risk his life, quickly thinking of a plan. He spread his presence through his psychic arms, overlaying it onto the creature before activating his Aura Induction once again.

But this time, he actuated it in reverse, inducing the creature’s presence within him, directing it into the tattoo world he had been creating.

Since it was already under the effects of his hallucination, it was easy to bring the creature into his tattoo world, causing it to disappear from the place. But immediately, Jyorta grunted in pain, watching his presence cracking in response.

He didn’t have the time to think about it as he jumped into the now empty egg, using his psychic arms to pull in the eggshells, placing them back in their original location. Moreover, one of his psychic arms turned pale blue as Regen was activated, mending the cracks to make it seem as if the egg hadn’t cracked in the first place.

Even though it was slightly suffocating to stay within a confined place, as long as he took in slow breaths, he would at least be able to survive for twenty to thirty minutes.

He then felt faint vibrations course through the eggshell, understanding that the mother of the creatures had landed. Having obtained some time for himself, he hurriedly inspected his condition, watching the cracks on his presence continue to increase, unabated.

‘I see, I’ve already placed the presences of so many creatures in my tattoo world that the total aura it possesses has now exceeded beyond what the aura in my body could withstand.’

Even though tattoos functioned like discrete packets of aura in which he could imbue many things, they were supplementary products that had to be attached somewhere.

So, once he laid a tattoo in a Frenzy Beast, if the aura within the tattoo exceeded a certain extent, it would completely destroy the Frenzy Beast’s presence.

And, that would cause a lot of problems. When the Frenzy Beast tried to activate its Skills, they would at times fail, its body cells might die faster than usual, unable to bear the burden of its body weight, etc.

Since aura was an inherent substance that everything that existed in the physical world possessed, once someone’s presence was destroyed, even though it won’t lead to their death, they would pretty much enter a state similar to being vegetative.

It was similar to getting one’s mind shattered. Even though they would be alive, they wouldn’t be able to do anything beyond that. The only difference between them and a corpse was the fact that the involuntary muscles in their body would still be functioning as usual.

The destruction of one’s presence would result in a similar situation, though Jyorta was unsure about the specifics. After all, Aura Path was still developing. So, a lot of common sense related to this path was constantly changing as the path itself developed.

And now, he understood that taking in the creature in his tattoo world caused too much strain on his presence. If he didn’t do anything, then his presence would continue to crack before shattering entirely.

And that meant he would die in this aura personification, which would in turn also destroy his mind.

‘But, the presence of the creature is now situated in my tattoo world.’ Using his Soul Corneas, he determined that the creature had appeared in the tattoo world that was in his actual body in reality.

It was the same as the tattoo world he currently had within the aura personification. ‘Somehow, this seems possible and had become reality.’

Thinking of something, the blue soul sent some mental cues to his brain, causing his body to take action.

Rhachis Ancestor Strongest watched Jyorta raise his arm before his presence surged into the palm of his hands, condensing a tattoo. And, something emerged from him, or rather, the tattoo world that he had.

This entity entered the tattoo on the palm, emanating a subtle aura fluctuation before the world of the aura personification absorbed it instantly.

Seeing the scene, Rhachis Ancestor Strongest furrowed his brows in thought, seemingly thinking of something.

In the meantime, Jyorta shuddered at the loud noise, clutching his ears in pain as he watched the cracks on his presence mend themselves automatically. He watched with bated breath at the cracks that formed on his eggshell as the shouts of the creature beyond reverberated violently.

In order to reduce the burden on his presence, he had condensed a tattoo and imbued the presence of more than one hundred Floating Spiders into it.

As the aura personification sucked in the presence of everything in its range of effect, it also did the same for the tattoo, which acted as a body to house all the presences within.

And now, all one hundred Floating Spiders appeared in Jyorta’s vicinity, startling the creature that was guarding its eggs.

Most of the Floating Spiders were Tier 1, with some being Tier 2. But, the threat of a floating spider lay in their speed.

The moment they appeared, the vicious figures of everyone glared at the eggs, scattering instantly as the creature was startled, unable to react.
