Free Web NovelCrimson light pierced through the heavens.
The terrifying, unstoppable power centered around the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons suddenly swept across hundreds of miles in every direction.
And as the one responsible for all of this—
Yumo herself naturally knew exactly what was happening outside while inside the consciousness space of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
However, due to the overwhelming excitement surging within her heart, Yumo currently had no spare energy to control the power overflowing from her body.
All of her attention had already been focused entirely upon the transformation spell scroll before her.
So far, everything had gone smoothly!
Which meant—
this transformation spell actually worked!
She might truly be able to obtain a body of her own through this magic!
To Yumo, this was unquestionably exhilarating news!
After hundreds of years, she could finally possess a body again.
Finally experience this otherworld personally.
No longer permanently trapped within a single corner of the forest!
‘Today really is a wonderful day!’
Sighing emotionally inwardly, Yumo followed the instructions recorded within the scroll and spread out her Shadow of Silence Power and soul force, wrapping them around every single thing inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
Not even a single shattered tile or broken fragment was overlooked.
When sword spirits used this transformation magic created by the elves, they would first completely release their steel-forged sword bodies, transforming them into pure energy particles. Only afterward would those particles reassemble into human form.
And the appearance of that human form would match the appearance of the sword spirit’s soul body.
If she used it, then it should theoretically function according to the same principle.
Thinking that, Yumo’s mood became even more delighted.
Reconstructing a body identical to her soul?
Then her soul body should naturally look like her appearance from her previous life, right?!
Wouldn’t that basically mean—
the old her had been reborn into another world?!
Recalling the “handsome and suave” face and “strong and sturdy” physique from her previous life, Yumo could not help but begin fantasizing wildly.
After recovering her original body, perhaps she really could become like the male protagonists from novels and anime—
travel freely across the world,
enjoy delicious food,
enjoy life itself!
And maybe—
just maybe—
she could even pick up girls!!
If she could flirt with girls in another world—
or even build a harem—
that would be absolutely incredible!
“Hehehe~~”
A shameless little laugh escaped inside Yumo’s heart.
And besides—
once she regained her former male appearance, she could finally righteously tell those bratty girls to call her “Dad” instead of “Mom”!
Let’s see how they try arguing with that then, hehe~~
‘Hurry up and call me “Dad”!!’
No matter how she thought about it—
life after obtaining a body was absolutely worth looking forward to!
Thus—
driven by that overwhelming desire to gain a body—
Yumo accelerated the circulation of her own power!
The towering crimson pillar of light even began showing signs of expanding and erupting further!
Following wave after wave of energy compression and spatial collapse—
the blood-red pillar piercing the heavens and the endless crimson Shadow of Silence Power sweeping across the surroundings both began converging continuously toward the center of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
Meanwhile, the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons itself slowly started collapsing apart, transforming into countless crimson energy particles that flowed together with the circulating Shadow of Silence Power toward the center of the palace.
The gathered power gradually formed into a scarlet sphere overflowing with an aura of destruction.
At the same time—
countless butterflies glowing with blood-red radiance fluttered in from every direction, gathering around the energy sphere and wrapping it within a cocoon formed entirely from butterflies.
Inside that cocoon—
the violent crimson energy continuously compressed and condensed—
slowly taking the shape of a human figure...
...
...
A long while later—
the violent energy gathered there slowly faded away.
Countless blood-colored butterflies scattered into the surroundings.
And Yumo’s brand-new body was finally revealed beneath the sunlight...
Enmm.
‘It should be done now... right?’
After completing every step of the transformation spell, Yumo’s consciousness gradually attempted to leave the consciousness space and establish a connection with the new body according to the spell instructions.
The connection process went surprisingly smoothly.
Very quickly, Yumo began gradually obtaining control over the body.
And as the connection formed—
a comfortable sensation like a breeze brushing across her face suddenly transmitted into her mind, instantly filling Yumo with joy.
?!
This feeling?!
I-Is this wind?!
H-How long has it been since I last felt wind?!
And this scent...
the smell of soil?
No—
this is the scent of nature!
I have a sense of touch now!
I can smell things too!!
Mmm~
The joy and excitement erupting within her heart gradually helped suppress the overwhelming sleepiness coming from the new body.
Slowly, Yumo forced open her eyes.
She wanted to properly observe this world with her own eyes—
instead of relying solely on perception like before.
And at the moment she opened her eyes—
what entered Yumo’s vision was a blurry scene, almost like a mosaic.
However, as time passed and Yumo waited expectantly, the scenery before her gradually became clearer and clearer.
??
This is?!
As her vision recovered, numerous black “obstacles” gradually appeared within her line of sight, blocking a large portion of what she could see.
Hm? Th-this??
Hair??
I don’t remember my soul body having hair this long??
Does transformation magic also come with hair growth effects?
Enmm, whatever.
If that’s true, at least I won’t have to worry about going bald in the future.
Still—
this is so annoying!!
Complaining inwardly, Yumo attempted to raise a hand and brush aside the beautiful black hair obstructing her vision.
However—
the moment she did so—
Yumo’s pupils suddenly shrank violently.
Her heart trembled.
Huh?!
Th-this is—
MY HAND?!?!
The shocking discovery instantly tore Yumo out of her euphoric excitement. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
She stared in disbelief at the slender and delicate little hand before her—
completely different from what she had imagined.
The hand was extraordinarily beautiful.
Slim, elegant, fair, and soft.
The fingernails carried a faint jade-like sheen, gentle and glossy with a subtle rosy luster...
No matter how she looked at it—
it definitely did not resemble the hand she used to have.
Or rather—
it did not resemble the hand a normal guy should have...
“Th-This?? My hand??”
Yumo cried out involuntarily.
And the instant her own voice entered her ears—
she froze completely in place.
Because what she heard was not the masculine teenage voice she once possessed—
but instead a beautiful young girl’s voice, clear and flowing like spring water itself.
Wait?!
What the hell?!
Th-this...
THIS IS MY VOICE?!?!
In an instant—
an ominous premonition violently surged into Yumo’s heart.
D-Don’t tell me...?!
Taking a deep breath, Yumo resolutely reached that delicate jade-like hand downward toward her lower body.
Unfortunately—
her fingers failed to touch the “little son” she had dreamed about day and night.
Instead—
they touched something soft, delicate, and impossibly smooth...
Something...
indescribable...
At that moment, the incomprehensible sensation struck through Yumo’s brain like lightning.
A faint blush gradually spread across her beautiful face.
That thing she had never once had the chance to touch during her youth—
had now appeared on her own body...
She fell silent.
Her body unconsciously began trembling.
And then—
the next second—
Yumo could no longer endure the grievance exploding within her heart.
“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! WHAT IS THIS?! HOW IS THIS HAPPENING!! Whatthehell!!”
The young girl’s hysterical scream suddenly echoed throughout the Winter Forest!
The Abyss Demons who heard the sound immediately collapsed trembling onto the ground in terror.
Although none of them understood what had happened—
their boss apparently seemed to be in a very, very bad mood...
