'The Life Leech, one of the three Frenzy Beasts that form the base of the Unranked Skill, Bone Devour. Is a shot at longetivity one of the factors that grandfather had planned and incorporated long ago? If he gave such thought even during its creation phase, it makes him a scary being. No wonder sister is always on guard against him.' Jyorta retracted his hand, having made his point across.
His thoughts churned, making him recall pieces of information that he otherwise only noted down as facts. An Unranked Skill focused on the manipulation of bone, and body muscles, having a focus on absorbing energy from the bodies of enemies, also filtering out the Essence of Frenzy in the case of Frenzy Beasts; now, the ability to prolong life through its use.
Only when he thought about the Life Leech did he consider other possibilities, realising a bit of what his grandfather had planned to accomplish.
'And then, there is the Trait of Severability.' It was a Trait that raised the Sync Rate by consuming energy. When considering it alongside Bone Devour, one of its abilities that allowed the user to absorb energy from his enemies, Jyorta fell in thought.
'Did he plan the Trait of Severability simultaneously while creating Bone Devour?' The Trait of Severability added wings to a tiger, in this case, allowing the user of Bone Devour to swiftly raise his Sync Rate to 100 percent.
It wasn't a difficult feat to achieve. All one had to do was farm Frenzy Beasts, absorb the energy in their bodies and Heart/Brain Crystal, and easily raise their Sync Rate. Based on what his sister had informed him, the energy was usually absorbed by lodging a bone spike into the victim.
The energy siphoned will be filtered off the Essence of Frenzy while its quality will be converted into the levels optimal to the user. So, a person with Bone Devour can calmly kill Frenzy Beasts a Tier weaker than himself, quickly achieving a Sync Rate of 100 percent.
It was cost-effective, not requiring any resources. There were innumerous Frenzy Beasts in the Wilds and were hence easy to farm. The production of Frenzy Fruits was always less than its demand, thanks to the complex process involved and the number of resources involved in their production.
Also, depending on their Tier, their consumption had to be limited, to prevent one from losing control due to the unimaginable pain. The Trait of Severability allows one to consciously control the amount they wished to increase each time, placing all control in their hands.
Even with the Trait of Severability, it wasn't easy to raise one's Sync Rate. Due to being based on the source, the Trait of Severability's Sync Rate increase conformed to the Frenzy Fruits.
A Tier 4 Frenzy Fruit increased the Sync Rate by 0.1 percent while a Tier 5 Frenzy Fruit increased the Sync Rate by 1 percent. Similarly, the energy consumed by the Trait of Severability to increase the Sync Rate was related.
To increase a person's Sync Rate by 1 percent using the Trait, the amount of energy consumed was equal to the energy contained in a Transformer's Heart Crystal—assuming the Transformer had a 100 percent Sync Rate.
The energy requirement was astronomical, reducing the value attached to the Trait. The energy from food would be Nurtured by the Wisdom Parasite, a by-product of which is the energy stored in the Heart/Brain Crystal. It was a slow process, taking a lot of time to fill up the Heart/Brain Crystal.
The Nurturing process spiked both qualitatively and quantitatively upon breakthrough into each Tier but, the requirements too increased. The energy stored in one's Heart/Brain crystal too spiked in relation.
Even for Tier 5 beings, increasing their Sync Rate by even one percent using the Trait of Severability took a lot of time, spanning weeks to months. It was faster to just consume a Frenzy Fruit, swiftly increasing their Sync Rates in a matter of seconds.
But, in the hands of the Bone Family, this Trait became a terrifying weapon. Using the Unranked Skill, Bone Devour, the Bone Family members could hunt in the wilds, absorbing energy without pause, becoming stronger every second.
There wasn't anything like the strongest Unranked Skill or the most powerful Trait. But, upon synchronisation with substances that complemented one another, the power one could display would place them at the peak.
'Synchronisation and complementation; it seems grandfather's wisdom and foresight is terrifying.' Jyorta listened to the discussion of his friends as he broke free of his thoughts.
"True, it will be difficult to aim at its brain, considering we don't know where it is situated." Dalna Doppler nodded, pointing at their Batch mates, "But, we have many useful Tier 1 Skills here. They must be able to pinpoint the brain of a Life Leech."
"From what I had experienced, Aura Sense should be able to detect the vital spots." Jyorta nodded.
"What you say is feasible," George looked at Dalna Doppler, "Thermal Imaging, X-Ray Vision, and Aura Sense. Using the three of them, we will be able to narrow down the spot of its brain. But, how are we supposed to damage it?"
"Using the same tactic we used for the One-horned Rhino?" Haesha looked at the growing body size of the two Life Leeches as they dug into the carcass of the One-horned Rhino. "Since their bodies are smaller than the One-horned Rhino, do we try to pin them on the ground?"
"Once we manage to grab its two ends, it would be relatively safer to clamp the rest of its body." Jyorta offered his piece, thinking of how easy it would be if he had a sharp object to use. His eyes widened in realisation as he looked at the One-horned Rhino.
"Can't we just use that?" Ashten Coorg pointed at the One-horned Rhino, having gotten the same idea as him, "Its horn is sharp and can be used as a weapon. If the four of us work together, we would be able to cleanly break it off."
George nodded, "I thought of it too but, we should first lure the Life Leeches away before choosing to do so."
"Yeah," Laila nodded, "When then smell blood, the Life Leeches enter a state of frenzy and wouldn't stop until they suck all the blood. Let us wait and see what happens. Maybe once they are satiated, they would move away naturally?"
"There is still some time, I guess." Haesha glanced at Madam Rizenne, trailing her gaze over to her Batch mates, seeing if anyone had created any plans. She noticed countless stares directed her way, the same for the rest of her group, the eight students that had killed the One-horned Rhino.
"It seems the others are planning to move this time." Haesha offered her piece based on her observation.
"Yes, it was bound to happen, "Jyorta nodded, "People are only hesitant the first time. Now that they had seen us in action, they would have begun to think and plan accordingly."
Madam Rizenne's voice resounded, having sensed the changes in the students, "Good, it seems more are willing to participate. I'll also add a little incentive. You will be awarded 10 points if you kill a Tier 1 Frenzy Beast. It will be awarded to everyone who had played a significant role in bringing one down."
"I'll also be dropping two Tier 1 Frenzy Beasts every 10 minutes until the end of today's session. Plan, execute, persevere, and emerge victorious."
"Charge!" Prompted by her words, a student shouted. 21 students followed him, charging straight at the Life Leeches. Spurred by his shout, the Life Leeches reacted, burrowing into the body of the One-horned Rhino, using its body as a shield.
The boy at the front caught up to them, bringing his hands forth in a bid to grab hold of a Life Leech's tail, watching it slip his hold. Its skin was covered by a layer of flat, slippery to the touch, further enhanced thanks to its soft muscles that compressed under stress, preventing the smooth human hands from grabbing hold of their bodies.
The boy had crouched, in an effort to catch it. Upon his failure, he was just about to stand straight when a Life Leech burrowed out of the One-horned Rhino's body, its mouth aimed at his face.
"Damn it," The body was flustered, clearly shaken, looking as if he hadn't expected the counterattack. Though, a hint of a smile was plastered on his lips, seeing that his plan had worked. When the Life Leech neared him, a girl appeared from behind, having used his wide body frame to shield from view.
She lifted her leg, kicking at its below, the force making its body curl. The Life Leech reacted by curling along the force, using the generated momentum to bring its mouth towards her raised leg, intending to bite it.
The girl had hardened her expression, bracing herself for the pain. Once attached, it would reduce the modes of attack available to the Life Leech. As long as her teammates grabbed hold of the other end, they would be able to subdue it soon.
A large piece of flesh flew towards her, aimed at her leg. The moment when the mouth of the Life Leech arrived before her leg, the piece of flesh impacted the area, becoming the first it came into contact with. Its momentum, and thanks to its opened mouth, the piece of meat entered its mouth, filling up the region.
Having spotted a piece of meat, one lodged with a broken bone—thanks to when the two Life Leeches attacked the One-horned Rhino's body—their team came up with a plan. When the two distracted a Life Leech, three of their team members quickly tore off the excess meat, making its size easy to be fitted into the Life Leech's mouth.
