The Record of Orc Civilization-Chapter 63 Sylph
Sylphs are a race of monsters with small bodies and extremely cowardly guts. They are even willing to sell other members of their race for their own safety.
This was because sylphs were so weak, they didn't even have the strength to protect themselves. However, their beautiful and cute shape makes humans reluctant to kill them.
Most of the humans just catch them and keep them as pets like birds at home.
So it can be said the sylph's cowardice is a form of self-defense against danger. And strangely, the sylph's cowardice is effective for all types of predators and even brainless animals will release them after seeing the beauty, cuteness, and cowardice of sylph.
However, apart from their appearance and nature, the sylphs also have other abilities to protect themselves. With their small and almost transparent bodies, it would be very difficult to locate sylph in the middle of a wilderness like the Bog forest.
The difficulty of finding sylphs coupled with their beauty and cuteness, makes sylphs one of the rare commodities for humans. For a noble to have a sylph as a pet at home is a matter of pride and artistic value that can be appreciated.
This makes sylph price in the market to be expensive. They are hunted until the number of those who live in the Bog forest decreasing.
However, like a comedy, Humans belonging to the Sylph Love Activists stage a demonstration to protect the sylphs and return them to the wild.
Sylph is the only monster race that is protected by humans. Until in the end because of the staunch Sylph Love Activists condemned the hunting of Sylphs, several human kingdoms banned the sylph trade.
However, this caused the opposite effect to what the Sylph Love Activist expected. The price of sylphs on the black market skyrocketed, making them one of the most expensive items ever traded by humans.
All this happens because apart from its beautiful and cute shape, sylph is considered harmless to humans. They are just cowards who are willing to sacrifice their race for their own safety.
However, unlike humans, the inhabitants of the Bog forest view the sylphs as a very dangerous race of monsters. They have unique powers that even Moku never thought to include them in his monster kingdom.
This difference of view was caused by humans not knowing how the sylph monster race actually survived in the Bog forest.
Every monster that lives in the Bog forest will be told the story of the sylph race in his childhood. The story would culminate in a warning to stay away from sylph if they saw it or smelled it or found any traces of it.
All of these monsters' fear of sylphs was due to the true ability of the sylph race. The true ability who make them can survive in the cruel Bog forest
They are a race of monsters capable of possessing and controlling other beings who have blood vessel flowing through in their bodies.
Sylph's small size and almost transparent body allow them to approach their prey unnoticed. They will then bite their prey and enter their blood vessel.
When the sylph sucks the blood of its prey, the sylph's body will become non corporeal, so that they are able to enter the body of their prey. They will move up to follow the blood flow until they reach the brain of their prey.
Then sylph will control the creature until the end of it life. Sylphs will suck all the nutrients that are in the body of their prey leaving only skin and flesh.
By controlling these animals to eat and absorbing little nutrients for their little bodies it is possible to live inside the animal's body and disguise itself as that animal forever.
However, sylphs are typical lazy creatures, when possessing an animal they will stand still and do nothing. They will sleep and will only wake up when hungry.
So most animals possessed by sylphs will die of starvation within a few weeks. Before the animal dies, the sylph will come out and look for a new parent body.
This power is what makes Swa, Laya, Ez, and Tam shudder in fear when they see the figure of sylph in the birdcage. If they didn't see Moku standing casually then they would have run back far away a minute ago.
"Moku, quickly get away from her! you want to be possessed? we can't beat you if you get possessed, we will all die!" Tam said anxiously.
Nezena didn't understand why the orcs and goblins were so frightened by this small and cute creature. But she just kept quiet and didn't comment, she believed that Moku knew what he was doing.
Moku ignored Laya's words, he opened the birdcage that kept the Slyph and held her tightly.
"Little monster.. did you not hear what I said? Give me a reason not to make you my lunch snack!!" Moku's voice was filled with a threatening tone.
The sylph trapped in Moku's grip, looks in pain with teary eyes, she looks at Moku with eyes begging for mercy.
But quickly those eyes turned fierce and filled with bloodlust "HAHAHAHA .. Stupid orc!! Did you not hear your brother's words. You took me out of that cage instead.
Even though you look like a night elf, your smell and green skin shows that you are just an orc with a strange appearance.
Now accept your stupidity!! I'll make you kill everyone here!!" the sylph's face didn't look cute and harmless anymore but turned into the face of the monster that was their true identity.
In the blink of an eye, her mouth opened wide revealing sharp fangs that seemed to be able to pierce iron. She bit Moku's hand hard and managed to pierce his skin.
Blood flowed from the bite wound and was quickly drunk by her. She looks impatient to suck all the blood in Moku's body because it's so sweet.
Moku let her drink the blood from his wound. It wasn't long before she felt satisfied and laughed with mouth full of blood.
"Now Die!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.. ugh!—"
Just as the sylph was about to shrink and enter Moku's veins, she suddenly stopped. Her eyes widened in surprise showing disbelief.
"What's wrong little monster? Didn't enter my body? hmm?" Moku's smile grew wider and more sinister, he looked like a maniac who saw his victim in pain.
"What happen?? Mana?? No it's not mana.. What it is?? w..w..what are you?" Her surprise turned to curiosity, her curiosity turned to amazement, her amazement turned to fear.
Currently the sylph is no longer sure that Moku is just an orc. Her body become stiff and strange energy rushing into her body, made her feel like being swallowed by a whirlpool that absorbed her into the dark ocean.
"I've always thought, if sylph are capable of possessing all creatures that have veins, then why don't they possess mana species?
If they managed to enter the human body then they would have the power of a mage. Or at least they no longer need to hide in the forest but only hide in human bodies.
By controlling humans, the sylph race will easily be able to control humans live. Just possess their king, and sylph will rule the entire human kingdom.
Then why don't you do it?
The answer is not because you are lazy, your naughty nature is more famous than your lazy nature. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺
Isn't controlling the human king and having him destroy his own kingdom is the naughtiness of the most naughtinessy?
The answer is that sylphs are incapable of possessing mana species. Sylphs will be injured or killed when possessing humans because the mana flow in their bodies will repel you from entering their bodies." Moku smiled triumphantly.
Moku got this answer after hearing the story about [God Blessing] or [God Corruption] from Nevare.
Mana flow in the human body is an organ that functions to defend itself from foreign mana or other creatures that can harm the body.
This includes sylph.
"I really don't have mana like mana species, but I have something equal to or even more strong than mana, I call it dragon prana"
"Arrghhh... What are you doing to me?" the sylph tried to move her body but all she felt was pain stabbing through her nerves.
"When this sylph bites you and sucks your blood, you flow dragon prana into the blood she sucks. When she wants to change her shape you control the dragon prana that has fused into her body and turn it back to controlling her." not Moku answered the sylph's question but Laya.
"You're right. At first I thought sylph had the ability to penetrate the body of its prey, but after I saw it with my inner eye, the sylph's body didn't change from corporeal form to non-corporeal form. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
Instead they take characteristics from the blood of their prey and disguise themselves as blood cells. The blood vessels will carry the blood cells to the brain and they control the prey's body from there." Moku added.
"Wow this creature is so terrible!!" Swa was amazed.
"Moku, are you deliberately holding this little monster to prevent it from attacking us and will only attack you?" Ez asked.
"You're right. I know apart from Nezena who is an elf and me, you guys won't be able to withstand the sylph's power, so I restrained her movement and provoked her to attack me" Moku nodded.
"Wow.. you are more cunning than me" Ez admitted it.
"Moku will goblins have the ability to control dragon prana when they successfully evolve into hobgoblins?" Tam asked.
"Eeeh.. I don't know we'll see." Moku scratched his head.
"This is what happens if you attack the holy body that has been blessed by The One, do you understand now heretic.. I never thought that the devil resided in your small and cute body" Nezena spat on the sylph's body which was helpless and lay stiffly on the ground.
Her body which was only the size of a thumb was covered in Nezena's spit from head to toe. It was as if she was being baptized with Nezena's spit.
Everyone laughed at the sight of the sylph's body covered in saliva.
The sylph could only stare with angry eyes. She couldn't do anything else, her whole body was already being controlled by Moku's dragon prana, she couldn't even move her fingertips.
"Well.. Now.. Give me a reason not to have you as my lunch snack!! You look delicious with Nezena's spit on you" Moku watched with eyes full of hunger and couldn't wait to swallow the sylph's small body.
Nezena's face turned red when she heard Moku wanted to swallow her saliva.
'Does this holy body want me to lick it.. hehehe'
