Azote Hambriento
From Inga no Kusari wiki
Azote Hambriento is Ardenter's crezca.
With the evolution of his Crezca, Ardenter's body has grown in size and the purple coloring of his body has darkened further with heavy swirls of black. The greatest alteration has been to his lower arms, which have grown longer by comparrison. The flesh from the elbow down now twists around on itself with short barbed thorns protruding from the creases that run up and down their length; three hooked claws make up Ardenter's hands, allowing him to rend and tear as he grapples with the talons.
Crezca Abilities
The hideous twisted flesh on Ardenter's arms are where the power of Azote Hambriento really come from. The flesh uncoils from itself to reveal that they aren't really arms at all, but a trio of tentacles extending from his elbows - each ending with a hooked claw with barbed spines running the length of their back, but the real horror of it comes from those thorns that had creased the seams of where the flesh was pressed together. Each of these tentacles is revealed to be one long mouth filled with rows of jagged teeth running down the entire inside length; the mouths have no throat, instead there is a dark void hidden among all the teeth - a black abyss constantly drawing in and devouring the reiatsu in the air. When the arms are open, the reiatsu eating limbs inflict horrible smouldering wounds against those whose bodies are made up of spiritual energy (Shinigami/Hollows/Plus souls), against others they simply rip and tear flesh to shreds, happily devouring it as they do reiatsu particals. So great is their hunger for reiatsu they can even weaken attacks made up of such matter, effectively lessening the attacker's power with the possibility of depleting it entirely. This only works if Ardenter has a way of sensing the attack coming and if the attack has a physical manifestation - most Kidou spells, Quincy Arrows and the like. By possessing a dual set of these tentacles Ardenter is capable of defending himself from attacks in two directions at once; yet despite this, when focusing both sets on a single attack it will not allow him to weaken it further than he normally would - it simply allows him to devour it quicker.
Azote Hambriento acts as both a Weapon and Melee Crezca, where his Weapon skill determines how effective he is at attacking with it and his Melee skill determines how much damage is done from the teeth, barbs and claws. When the power is used to devour reiatsu the level taken from the opponent's attack is equal to half of Ardenter's own score. IE: A Shinigami with 25 reaitsu casting a Kidou would have the effect nullified if Ardenter's own Reaitsu were 50 or greater. While a Shinigami also having 50 Reaitsu would lose only half the power of their attack. An opponent with 500 Reaitsu would lose barely 5% of the power they were attacking with. Time sensitive Reiatsu powers targetting him have their duration reduced by one-third their normal time.
Strengths
Duality: Ardenter's Crezca allows him to both attack and defend with ease; the tentacles remain as strong and enduring as the rest of the Hollow's body allowing him to block or deflect any attacks he would be able to if he were using normal Hollow-strong limbs.
Weaknesses
Tooth Ache: Purely physical attacks aimed at the tentacles have a greater chance of damaging them than Reiatsu based attacks, but even powerful Reaitsu attacks can harm them if there's little chance for the damage to be lessened by enough. Disabling the tentacles through injury effectively stops the Crezca from working.
