Chapter 67.1 - Dawn of New Era
67.1 Dawn of New Era
Good day, this is Jilbagias who got over excited upon learning the magic of human transformation.
I heard some voice, how are you doing?
Sofia opened the door without even knocking. It seems the weakening of my magical power as a result of my human transformation had dispelled the soundproof barrier.
Ah Uhm, congratulations on learning the new magic.
Though Sofia was blinking her eyes repeatedly upon seeing my human figure, she averted her face, trying desperately to hold back her laugh.
What's so strange about this?
No You have just become Weaker.
Did I become that much weaker? Is that the same meaning as becoming an adorable child in terms of human language?
Are you done talking?
Ah, master is A human.
Vigne and Garounya were following in succession. Well, it doesn't really matter, it wasn't that important of a secret either. Garounya had a twitching smile on her face, my transformation was apparently a huge blow for her.
Let's try the flow of my own magical power.
Man, it was so weak. Or not, this was definitely much better than your average human, maybe already on spellcaster's level.
I tried to cast a defensive ward, alas it felt brittle and more unreliable than usual.
How's the result?
Upon hearing my question, Sofia walked toward me and then poked lightly at my newly formed ward.
Thus, the ward was destroyed by Sofia's light poke.
If the usual is like a wall of steel, this one feels like a thin sheet of iron.
U~hm. Well, it could at least prevent an arrow, there was a great difference between having a ward and not having one at all.
Nevertheless, to think that this transformation impedes my ability so much. Well unlike Verossa, the demon race had an extremely high affinity with magical power, thus it allows me to use magic to some extent even in my human form.
Could it be that the reason why the soundproof barrier got canceled was because I did not have enough magical power to conjure a barrier that covers the entire room? In this human form, the limit of my soundproof barrier was around my arm's length.
Interesting. It kind of reminds me of the time before I grew my horn.
I canceled the magic while touching my head. My horn then grew again and it felt as if the world regained its previous vivid color. Now that my perception of magical power was back to normal, I
What are you talking about, Jilbagias-sama? Your horn just grew recently alright but Hey, can I learn that magic of human transformation too?
Asked Sofia with an extremely curious look at Lyla.
Eh Uhm, I don't know. No devil has ever tried it after all
Jilbagias-sama, can I have a try?
As long as Lyla is willing to do so.
Well, it's not like Sofia could just look with crossed fingers before a new, unknown magic. This time, Sofia's knife was used to cut Lyla's wrist.
Uhm So that's the root of this magic
Sofia was having this Just what in the world is shown to me look on her face as she rolled Lyla's blood in her mouth. I got ya, girl. Well, does that mean she learned the magic now? I couldn't help but watch curiously while taking care of Lyla's wound with a transpose curse.
Lets see~ We do this, and that and here we go!
Sofia's contour was blurred Her vortex-like magical power had shrunken down a lot, and then transformed into a Living Creature in the flesh.
Standing in her place was a normal, everyday girl wearing a monocle and butler uniform. Her reddish skin was also toned down a lot to a color that is normal for humans, her horn was gone as well.
Are you kidding me A devil can transform into a human too
Eh EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?
Sofia suddenly looked around with a confused look on her face while patting her own cheeks.
J-Just How! JUST HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THE HUMAN RACE SURVIVE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FEEL ANYTHING!? U-Uuuh!
And then she was sitting on the floor, trembling all over like a newborn fawn while hugging herself.
Are you okay?
I brought her up in front of the mirror. The feeling of her body was that of proper flesh and weight, complete with the warmth of a living being. Sofia then peered into the mirror while muttering This is Me?
The body of the devil was originally constructed using magical power. What she felt right now might be akin to a human with their sense of touch.
How curious.
This time, even Ante jumped out of my body. The sudden appearance of a girl from my body had naturally startled Lyla.
Ah, sorry for the late introduction, this one here is Ante, the devil who made a pact with me. She is usually lazing around inside of my body.
Calling it lazing around is an overstatement. Oi Dragon Girl, gimme your blood. I want to try that magic too.
Ante, are you sure about transforming into a human? I mean, the pact is
Worry not. Something as simple as changing race Couldn't do a shi*t to a devil's pact.
That's a relief then.
Still, are you sure you can cut your wrist again? Just tell me if you don't want to.
I-It's okay! It's an honor To be useful!
I'm honored if there are others who want to try the blood of someone like me Added Lyla as she cut her wrist without hesitation to let Ante drink the former's blood alas Ante was the last one and no one else wanted to try, thus I treated her wrist immediately.
Well, in the first place, one needs strong magical power to use this magic.
That means, please stop looking so dejected as if this is the end of the world Lyla!
Meh!
This time, it was Ante's turn to become a diminutive existence(human). Her dark brown skin was the same as before but her horn had vanished, and she turned into a normal Girl.
W- WHAT THE HELL!
Ante's eyes opened wide, plopped down on her rear, and then started trembling like a newborn fawn.
S
S?
SCARY!
Is this Really that scary!?
I-I'm so blind. And I can't feel anything at all! I feel as if everything Is composed of only material! I'M SO SCARED!! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE FELT THIS SCARED!!!
Ante fidgetted restlessly with flushed red cheeks as she spoke. THEN STOP GETTING EXCITED ON TREADING THE UNKNOWN DAMMIT! Damn, pe*vert!!
Hey! It must be scary right!?
Sofia approached Ante who plopped on her rear.
Uhm The world of those who aren't gifted by magical power is Savage
It's really interesting And the humans can actually live with this kind of feeling
You're the same! You are made of flesh too! You're a lowly creature too!
The same goes for you! Lump of flesh!
For some reason, they started pulling each other's cheeks. Those two devils seem to hit it off in terms of being human that they never felt before. Seeing Ante lose her usual haughtiness, Sofia went up and acted slightly high-handed to the demon god who turned into a lower life form.
But, should I make them stop saying the human was weak just because of their weak magical power?
I mean, their remarks made me, a former human, and Garounya, a beastman, feel complicated
After this and that, I gained knowledge regarding the fact that a devil could transform into a human too but
Given a choice, I don't think you will find the another devil who wants to learn this magic.
Said Sofia without even mincing her words.
Being unable to perceive magical power is An experience that I can't express with my words, if you ask me, it's an unpleasant experience, not to mention that I become too anxious when I'm transforming into such brittle creature
But, it seems this method can be used to minimize the consumption of magical power if you stay in this world. Thanks to being materialized, we won't consume that much magical power as long as we stay still.
Said Ante as she lazily sunk herself into the sofa. By the way, she still used her human form.
