The Record of Orc Civilization

"Hmm?" Moku flinched slightly. At first, he thought that Nevare wanted to fight on the front lines like the two asuras. Moku already thought that this one wife would ask for this and he had prepared dozens of reasons not to allow it. But he never thought that Nevare's request was to cultivate the Pringgadani Mantra.

But who surprised and confused was not only Moku but also Nezena and Nerphyl. They didn't understand why Nevare wanted to cultivate the Pringgadani Mantra. Even though Nevare currently has the body, endurance, and regeneration abilities of an orc, she is not an orc.

She is a human who transformed into an orc due to the influence of Nash while he was still in Nevare's stomach. So Nevare is not a true orc, she doesn't have dragon prana so it's impossible for her to use the Pringgadani Mantra. The initial and main requirement for using the Pringgadani Mantra is to have the dragon prana.

Previously, Nevare had tried to use weapons made from mana organs. She drains the mana in her body into the mana organ weapon but what happens is the mana inside the Mana Organ Weapon cancels out her mana.

Moku theorizes the cause is due to the difference between mana inside a mage's (human) body and mana inside a mutated animal's body. So that if the two mana meets, it will be like two same magnetic poles brought together. They will repel each other.

Meanwhile, dragon prana has the characteristic of consuming mana in the Mana Organ Weapon. So when the dragon prana is channeled into the Mana Organ Weapon, the mana inside will be eaten and can be easily controlled. This theory from Moku closes the possibility for a mage to use Mana Organ Weapons.

But Moku believes that with technological developments hundreds of years earlier than the Wilwatikta Kingdom, it is certain that humans have found other ways to use Mana Organs. However, Nevare and the other three Valkyries did not know this due to their low status in the human world.

"Nevare, don't you know that you can't use a Mana Organ Weapon? What's the point of your request?" Moku asked again, even though he was confused but he believed that his wife had another meaning to her request.

Nevare paused for a moment without answering. Then she straightened up and turned to Nerphyl, saying "Moku, I've heard from Nerphyl that mana has consciousness."

*sssssss

Sounds gasped from Boku and Goku. They were too busy with their duties as Gates to have time to see their two wives. So it was only natural that this was the first time they found out if mana had consciousness.

Nervare continued "Moku, right now there is mana flowing within my body. I don't know what mana wants but as a Mana Child, I have an affinity with mana beyond ordinary mages. As a result, I will have the ability to control mana in the world more easily than mages but on the other hand, this also means that I'm the one who's most easily influenced by mana." Nevare's forehead creased as she said that.

"There's a possibility that my current body isn't controlled by mana because I'm still weak. But it doesn't rule out that one day when I have enough strength, mana will control me to kill you and the asuras." Nevare's face turned grim.

Her words are not impossible considering how mana controlled Deak's treants when Moku awakened Kasutpada Kacarma sandals. Hearing that all the monsters in the room stared seriously. Especially Nezena, Claire, and Vivi who were currently very close to converting the mana flow within their bodies into a constellation and becoming a mage.

Nerphyl who had been silent until now opened her mouth "Moku, what Nevare said is true. I felt mana's consciousness when I saw the memory of the Mutated Tiger. Mana is very strong and they are able to control everything in this world. Our real enemies are not mana species or mutated animals but mana itself."

"With the dragon prana chain, I can absorb the mana power that resides within Mutated Tiger's mana organs without worrying about being affected by the mana's consciousness. If we can use the same concept to seal the constellation that is within Nevare's body then she can escape the influence of mana's consciousness. Not only that, she can still use mana power, or more precisely Nevare can eat mana and control it. Just like when an asura uses the Pringgadani Mantra to control the mana organ." said Nerphyl with sparkling eyes.

"Nerphyl is right Moku, the concept of the dragon prana chain is the reverse use of the Pringgadani Mantra isn't it? So maybe you can use the same method to seal the constellations inside Nevare's body" Nezena nodded.

Boku and Goku who had been silent until now were wide open. They never expected that their intent to avoid learning the Padakacarma, Brajamusti, and Brajadenta Mantra would become so great that the conversation turned to how to seal the constellation within a mage's body.

At first, they only intended to ask Nevare to mediate when they asked Moku for them only focus on using Pringgadani Mantra. But they never thought that Nevare had a special intention to help them. Now they understood why Nevare at that time quickly agreed to their request.

Moku's face remained straight as his three wives worked hand in hand to support Nevare's argument. He felt he was being bullied by his own wife and right now he was outvoted. If Moku wanted to refuse Nevare's request then he would have to come up with a good reason. If not, the fate of Mige, who has been sleeping in the tents of single orcs for days, has proven how strong a wife's anger is.

Even though he currently has three wives, when the three of them work together, Moku will be helpless to face them. But Moku realized that if what Nevare said had some truth to it, he had long been thinking about how to escape mana control. But unfortunately, all living things in Meer Continent are bound by mana. Only the monster species were free from mana influence, but as a result, they became the weakest species in the world.

"You're right" Moku nodded but then shook his head "But I can't use dragon prana chain to seal the constellation inside your body"

"Why?" Nevare flinched in surprise when Moku refused to seal her. Moku's possessiveness towards his wives is well known in Wilwatikta Kingdom and this makes female monsters jealous of Moku's wives. So it was strange when Moku refused to chain his wife.

Moku replied "Mana organs and constellations are two different things. Mana flows in an animal's body before they mutate like blood. But when they mutate, mana condenses and becomes a mana organ, so its location can be determined easily. However, mana species are different, when mana flow turns into a constellation they don't condense and become a certain organ. But they are just blocked by the various tributaries flowing from the dam. So the location of mana in the body of mana species can't be found easily.

I could use the dragon prana chain to seal mana organ inside a mutated animal's body but I can't use the same method for mana species because I don't know exactly where their constellation is. If I use the dragon prana chain to seal the constellation within the mage's body then the possible repercussions will be dire. The possibility that the mage is disabled and cannot feel mana for life is not small.

Because of that, I cannot use the dragon prana chain to seal the constellation within your body."

Hearing Moku's explanation the faces of Nevare and the other three valkyries turned pale. They understood what Moku meant, the sealing process of mana organs was the same as the process of internal organ transplant surgery. A surgeon could take your kidney and replace it with another kidney easily but to replace the blood vessels that are all over your body is a near impossible thing to do.

Nevare was speechless and didn't know what to say. The possibility that one day she would be controlled by mana to kill her husband and the asuras was as great as the possibility of being crippled and unable to use mana for life. She seemed to be faced with two choices; kill her husband or be crippled for life. Nevare is like eating a simalakama fruit (a fruit that, if eaten, your mother will be killed if you don't eat it, your father will be killed).

Boku and Goku saw that the conversation had strayed far from their intended goal and could only take a deep breath and wait for the opportunity to speak.

As silence enveloped the meeting tent. Nevare's wrinkled and pale face showed how messed up she was feeling right now. The same thing could be seen from the three Valkyries whose faces were downcast. Nezena was currently starting to think about not converting her mana flow into a constellation if that could avoid the possibility of being controlled by mana's consciousness.

While all the monsters were busy with their own thoughts, suddenly a small voice was heard, "eee.. can I ask you something?"
