Episode 416 Mysterious Gift (3)
Hans’s size inflated like a balloon.
The neck was lengthened, and what used to be a hand turned into a forepaw.
Most of all, the white fur with a bluish aura that sprouted all over the body was the same as that of Yeongsu that Ludger had seen in the forest.
The height of his body, which had grown exponentially, had already surpassed the wear bear’s in size.
Pudeudeuk.
A golden horn protrudes from Hans’ forehead.
Owens’s officers stared at him with amazement and astonishment.
Before he knew it, Hans turned into a large white deer over 5m in height.
It was smaller than the spirit beast I saw in Kassar Basin, and the horns on its head were even more shabby.
But nonetheless, it is a receipt.
It was never easy to see.
‘Until the bear’s teeth were half-human and beast-like, the spirit beast’s teeth are literally closer to the beast’s.’
It was the same with the monster of the report party.
Rather than a mixture of human and animal appearances, the appearance leaned towards either side.
Originally, he was a little more human than the monster of Jebodang, but that is only a relative point of view.
The same was true of Youngsoo’s teeth.
Ludger came up with a hypothesis after seeing Hans, who looked almost identical to the spirit he saw in the forest.
‘Depending on how powerful the beast is, is it determined to become a complete beast?’
The monster of Jebodang and the spirit of Kasar Basin.
Considering the existence of the two, it was quite understandable.
What mattered was the state of Hans now.
“Hans. Can you hear me?”
Rudger studied Hans closely and asked.
Along with that, he did not forget to secretly generate magic.
When Hans turned into a monster of the Jebodang, he was swept away by the wildness and went into a riot, unable to distinguish between allies and others.
Reason was devoured by wild nature.
If so, there was a possibility that it would be similar in the case of Young-soo, who had become completely sign language like now.
Swoop.
At Ludger’s question, Hans’ gaze turned into a deer and turned to him.
A bluish light like the cold wind of dawn emanated from the two pupils.
That sluggish gaze left Ludger and skimmed the party lightly like a breeze.
Owens and the others were nervous.
If you run amok in a place like this, you will cause great damage to the surroundings.
If I had known this would happen, I would have done it in the half-destroyed underground arena.
When everyone was thinking that, Hans immediately lowered his head and looked down at his body.
[Ahh! What is this!]
I jumped out of my seat.
thud.
The horns on Hans’ head pierced the high ceiling.
Unable to withstand the shock, the wreckage of the collapsed ceiling fell on Hans’ head, and Hans tried to avoid it by stepping sideways, but his legs twisted and he fell on his side.
Koo-ung!
“…..”
“…..”
“…..”
Everyone was speechless at the ridiculous sight.
The tension that had filled my throat was relieved so easily that it was futile.
Hans struggled to stand up again, but it seemed that a human who normally walked on two legs would not be able to adapt to walking on four legs.
Like a newborn fawn, my legs trembled and I kept falling over and over again.
From the point of view of the observer, it was pitiful.
“Hans. Just stay still.”
It was clear that if I moved just to get up for no reason, it would only cause more trouble to those around me.
Hans knew that too, so he nodded sullenly while lying on his stomach.
[Okay.]
“So, how are you feeling?”
[What do you mean? Even so,
Hans has at least kept his human form even when he turned into a beast.
But that wasn’t the case with Receive.
It’s not just a beast, it’s a deer.
I had to stand on all fours, starting with the horns on my head, and even lengthened my neck.
To move in that state would be a sensation that would be difficult for the normal human body to accept.
‘I moved well when I was a monster in Jebodang, but maybe it was because I moved with pure wildness at that time.’
It is an advantage to change like this while possessing reason, but it means that the disadvantages are formidable.
“If you change your senses several times, you will quickly get used to it. What’s important is that it’s different. Can you use Hans’ mana?”
[Magic.]
“I used something similar a while ago, so it shouldn’t be that difficult.”
[I’ll try.]
Hans muttered, concentrating.
Hans hadn’t known about magical powers all his life, but when he turned into a bear a while ago, he was able to use it right away.
It was something like an instinct deep in our genes.
That’s why there was nothing he couldn’t do if he wanted to use it even after he turned into a spiritual beast.
A soft, bluish mana began to spread through the white mane-like fur.
“Oh oh.”
Bellaluna’s eyes lit up as she watched the scene.
There was a clear sign of wanting to check out what principle it is possible to clench your hands right away.
Of course, for her, that confirmation would be dissection.
Rudger, who had been staring at magic power, gave another instruction.
“Can you change it into another form?”
[I think I can. Wait a minute.]
Hans frowned and tensed up.
Then, the mana that flowed around Hans gathered in one place and formed a large sphere.
“Hoo.”
Rudger’s eyes lit up as he watched the scene.
That was the same sphere of pure magical power that the spirits used in Kassar Basin.
Of course, the size and number were less than the real Youngsu.
I wanted to check the power as well, but the place was a place, so it was impossible to go there.
“How do you feel?”
[What should I say, I’m much more sensitive than when I turned into that rock bear a moment ago.]
Hans looked around, rolling his eyes.
Now that Hans has changed into Yeongsu’s body, he is seeing the world with a completely different perspective from when he was a human.
Mana impregnated in the atmosphere.
It was a faint sight, and Hans thought it was very strange.
Rudger approached Hans.
Rudger saw the golden horn growing on Hans’ head and touched it with his hand.
“Can you feel it?”
[Feel it. It looks like this is no ordinary horn.]
“How do you know?”
[It just feels instinctive. Now, the reason why I generate magic is naturally because I can use these horns as a medium.]
“It seems that these horns make it easier to handle magic. Is it the role of a wand in the case of a wizard? I’m a little sorry.”
[…What do you mean?]
“Just. If it grows horns every time it changes, I wanted to cut it off and use it.”
Hans broke into a cold sweat at those words.
Rudger asked many other questions, and Hans did his best to answer each time.
Looking at the results alone, receiving Yeongsu’s teeth was a very good choice.
‘It has changed into a complete beast, but it is equipped with reason. This is a very big power.’
It is also true that Hans’ power has deteriorated considerably compared to the original Yeongsu, the owner of the teeth.
However, the original Spirit was too strong, and the changed Hans could not be said to be weak either.
‘Well, it’s something you can’t openly use in front of people. It would be nice to have more cards that can be used in an emergency.’
That said, I wouldn’t keep pushing Hans into the upcoming fight.
Because Pantos and Alex were enough to fight in the forefront.
However, exceptions always happen, and it was encouraging to get Yeongsoo’s teeth in preparation for those times.
It was at that moment that he thought about returning Hans with a neutralizer.
The gazes of Ludger and Pantos Alex moved almost simultaneously.
[What is it?]
Hans, whose senses have been maximized after transforming into Young-soo, also trembled at the sensation running through his body.
“this.”
At the same time as Rudger said that one word.
A drop of blood fell to the ground from the high ceiling of the building.
It was only a single drop, but as soon as it landed on the ground, it gradually spread and turned into a puddle of blood.
Everyone’s eyes turned there.
The surface of the pool of blood wriggled and bubbling up, then rising with a whoosh.
Someone came out of it.
It was a blonde girl in a bright red goth loli dress.
The girl who jumped out of the puddle finally opened her closed eyes.
The puddle of blood on the floor was naturally absorbed by her body.
Her ruby-red eyes twitched and her fangs stood out at the corners of her mouth.
“What kind of funny stories were they talking about besides me?”
“…Master.”
Rudger gave a slightly bewildered look.
I never thought Grander, who had been quiet until now, would move.
It was said that it was uncomfortable to plant if she was to the extent of going directly.
Could it be that he returned from Kassar Basin and was offended that he did not say a word to his master?
If it’s Grander, that’s enough. Because she was a vampire who didn’t know where to run.
Usually, at times like this, Ludger, his pupil, had to put up with her whims and tantrums.
Contrary to expectations, however, Grander did not glar at Rudger.
What she looked at with interest was Hans, who had turned into a deer.
“You brought something interesting again.”
Grander approached Hans with quivering steps.
Judging from their appearance, it was a size difference that wouldn’t be strange if Hans swallowed Grander in one bite.
However, its essence and its power are the exact opposite of what it appears to be.
Even Hans, who had become stronger with the power of the heroine, had no choice but to become infinitely smaller in front of Grander.
Rather, Hans could feel Grander’s monstrous power even more clearly because he had Yeongsu’s eyes.
Grander stroked Hans’ pure white fur with his small, delicate hand.
Every time that happened, Hans’ hair stood on end.
“This is a receipt. I thought it was an unusual constitution, but was it possible to transform with something like this?”
Grander muttered that and then smiled.
“I’ve been thinking that I’d like to have Yeongsu’s fur since long ago.”
[Huh!]
Hearing that, Hans was frightened and was on the verge of passing out right away.
Seeing that, Grander tossed it.
“It’s a joke.”
Are you kidding me?
Although it was a very momentary moment, Grander’s eyes were sincere when he said he wanted a fur.
There was nothing strange about taking off Hans’ fur right now, and the Owens executives gathered here knew that kind of personality very well.
In the end, Rudger had to step out.
“Master. What are you doing here?”
“What? Is there any reason why I, the teacher, cannot come here?”
“It’s not like that.”
“No. What do I expect from a disciple who is so busy that it is hard to see his face even once, and even though he has had fun from afar, he doesn’t say a word to this master? okay. When you get old, you should just shut yourself up in a small room and lie quietly.”
“…..”
I pouted. That really screwed up.
Fortunately, Grander, who would normally have been angry with Gil-Gil, was calm thanks to Hans.
She is annoyed, but it is thanks to Hans, who has turned into Young-soo, arousing her curiosity.
[Brother?]
Isn’t it?
Maybe it’s because his senses have improved a lot since he became Yeongsoo?
Hans instinctively gave Rudger a desperate look.
Rudger tried to avoid looking at Hans and asked Grander.
“Master. As you know, Hans has just changed into a spirit beast and is in the stage of checking his constitution.”
“Know. Are you afraid I don’t know that? do not worry. I’ll make sure it doesn’t break.”
Are you broken?
Hans’s pupil caused an earthquake. But I couldn’t openly ask Grander.
Because she was that scary.
“On the contrary, thank you. Because I am participating in the research myself.”
It may sound like an arrogant statement, but Rudger was rather convinced and withdrew.
I don’t know anything else, but if Grander himself said he would do research, the results were well worth expecting.
Who would argue with Grander, who had a high hierarchy and knowledge of magic as deep as the deep sea?
“All right. Master.”
“So, son of a bitch. Where and how did you get Yeongsu’s teeth?”
I came here because I was curious about this, so she immediately brought up the main topic.
Rudger, who thought he should tell you someday, suddenly remembered the information about the non-attribute magic he had discovered in the Kasar Basin.
I was rather glad that I had something I wanted to ask.
“Everyone, get out of here and go back to your seats. I will have a talk with Master.”
When Rudgar said so, Owens’s officers backed off saying they knew.
No matter how they were, being in the same place as Grander made them feel quite uncomfortable.
Grander saw the executives withdrawing.
In particular, her gaze lingered on Pantos for a long time.
“That guy. You are better than before.”
“who? You mean Pantos?”
“okay.”
“There was something worth realizing recently.”
“It’s not bad growth. If you used to be a kid full of energy, now you’re a little more dignified. Even so, he’s a kid whose head hasn’t even dried yet.”
Is there anyone on this continent who can call Pantos a bloodless kid?
But Rudger took it as a compliment.
It was really hard to hear her say that she was dignified.
“So, let all your men go and ask me anything?”
[Me too.]
Hans cautiously expressed his opinion, but Grander didn’t even pretend to listen.
Leaving the sullen Hans behind, Ludger asked Grander.
“Master. Do you know anything about unusual magical powers that have existed since time immemorial?”

Escorted by Pasius, Eileen walked the streets of Ledervelk.
The place she wanders now is the most famous place in Ledervelk city.
It was Royal Street.
In the past, it was full of poor people and abandoned factories, but now it has become an indispensable vitality in the city.
“At this level, you won’t be pushed even in the capital.”
“I can’t deny it.”
Pasius moderately sympathized with Eileen’s words and recalled the sparring he had with Pantos a while ago.
Eileen didn’t bother her because she didn’t know how Pasius felt.
“…The princess.”
At that moment, Pasius’ expression hardened coldly.
Eileen also stopped at Pasius’ warning.
The fact that he gave such a warning means that there is something around that is aiming this way.
Eileen naturally reached for the signal in her arms.
At that moment, someone suddenly appeared and appeared.
“Oh my God. Anyway, isn’t it a bit strange to go around in a place like this without an escort?”
A stern expression and a flirtatious tone that did not match the size of the giant.
Upon recognizing him, Pasius and Eileen widened their eyes.
“Captain Lutus?”
Rutus Wardot.
A man who was said to be the best swordsman on the continent beyond that of the empire came to the two of them.
