7th Demon Prince Jilbagias’ Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling - Chapter 66.2 - Magic of Human Transformation

66.2 Magic of Human Transformation

All that was left was to spend my time… And build a relationship of trust with her.

「In short… Teaching me magic of human transformation will benefit both of us.」

「… If you went, as far as that…」

Lyla timidly presented her hand.

「Uhm… The blood… Something like, knife…」

「Ah, you’re right.」

I groped around my belt and unsheathed my obsidian knife―― I had forgotten that it was already broken, meaning that I only have my sleeping holy sword right now.

「Ah…」

Without any other sharp edge-tool… I had to go outside and borrow from someone…

「… Can you use this? Don’t worry about the wound, I’ll take care of it.」

「Understood.」

Since I had no other choice, I took off my sword from my belt, unsheathed it and asked Lyla while showing its dull blade.

Lyla replied without hesitation and pressed her wrist onto the blade. She only frowned when she did that, a proof that she was used to pain.

And used the cup that I prepared beforehand to catch the dripping blood with her other hand.

「H-Here you go…」

Said Lyla while presenting the cup containing her blood with an insincere smile on her face.

Honestly I hesitated for a moment to accept that cup. The reason was Lyla’s lack of hesitation about hurting her body.

But if I rejected her blood right now, Lyla might think that the reason for her rejection was due to her filthy blood, thus adding another blow to her self-esteem.

Thus I didn’t hesitate again to accept the cup and drank her blood. Her blood didn’t have a fishy smell at all, in fact, the additional light attribute in her blood caused a fizzy sensation on my lips along with sour and sweet taste. [TL: SPRITE!]

――Suddenly I had a vision about a certain dragon’s life.

The dragon loves sparkly things. They would attack the other race’s dwelling, beating them into submission, and demanding tribute from them in the form of gold and silver.

But then… They’re not satisfied with just looking at those treasures.

I want to dress up like a human too!

Up until that point, they never felt so envious of those weak, brittle, and lowly creatures.

Due to the dragon’s physique, fangs, and claws, they couldn’t wear the intricate treasure on their own body.

They wanted something unattainable. That was also part of the dragon’s pride.

And then, hundreds of years after making such zealous wish――

The dragon’s gigantic magical power and their sheer will had finally distorted reality.

――The image of a human with dragon horns stood in front of a mirror while looking at the necklace, ring, and crown they worn on their body.――

A flash of enlightment suddenly dawned upon me.

「… So that’s… The reason huh…」

I then separated my lips from the cup held in Lyla’s hand filled with complex emotion inside.

I never expected that the dragon would desire to be stylish… Was the reason behind the creation of this magic.

「Yes, that’s correct…」

Lyla also nodded with a troubled look on her face as if she just exposed the biggest scandal in her race.

Oops, since her blood was still spilling like that, I used a transpose curse on her.

「Wah…」

Lyla was visibly surprised seeing her wound suddenly vanish like that.

「Ku~n.」

Liliana quickly licked my wrist, healing the wound in no time.

「Thank you, you’re such a good girl.」

「Woof.」

Said Liliana immediately as if to say “It can’t be helped, you’re such a clumsy person after all”.

「It’s, amazing…」

Said Lyla with an admiring voice while checking her wrist.

「Is this, the magic?」

「Yes, I think you can use… Just by imagining it. Just think “I want to have a human-like appearance!” otherwise you won’t be able to invoke the magic…」

Man, now I’m starting to worry about Lyla instead. I mean, what if she lost even more self-esteem when she saw me… Failing to invoke the magic.

「Well, don’t worry about that.」

I want to become as human as the dragon who created this magic.

――According to Verossa, he could make some adjustments to his human figure when he transformed into one.

Though it was different from the dragon race who had to fine tune their appearance starting from the color of their skin, eyes, hair, age, physique while leaving behind their horns, my case only needed a bit of adjustment.

To put it simply, this magic was a truly versatile tool of disguise.

Using a wanted poster to catch the user of this magic was close to impossible…

But――It didn’t dampen my excitement, knowing very well that I could use this magic now. This was like the pearl thrown before swine in the demon king castle but, this magic would allow me to enter the alliance territory ――

「Okay, let’s try it.」

I took a breath to calm myself.

… Let’s use my current appearance as the base. I absolutely couldn’t afford to reveal my identity by using Alexander’s appearance since the demon king had seen my face in the previous life. I doubt he still remembers Alexander’s face though.

For my age, the same as my current appearance. Let’s keep my hair color as silver. Make my eyes darker. Skin color should be tanned just like my previous life――

Here we go.

Suddenly, I felt as if my power was drained and my existence became vague at once, it was truly a hard to describe experience.

In fact, I felt as if the world suddenly lost a lot of colors.

… No, that was the wrong expression too. This was a world without magical power’s perception.

When I tried to touch my head, all I touched was my own hair.

「MY HORN IS GONE!」

Mirror! Mirror!!

When I looked at the dresser at the edge of the room, I saw the figure of a handsome youth with tanned skin, silver hair and black eyes staring at the mirror.

「UWOOOOOOOOO! AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE!」

No matter how you look at it, I’m freaking human race~!!

「Woof!? Woofwoof!!」

Liliana got startled seeing the sudden transformation of my appearance.

She rushed at once and started to sniff my body but of course, it’s not like she had a dog-like nose since she wasn’t an actual dog so she only tilted her head in puzzlement in the end since she found nothing.

YAAAAAAAAY!!

Now I just need to find a way to sneak into the alliance territory!

But! The best part of this magic is THAT!! THE HORN IS GONE!!

「I CAN FINALLY TURN SIDEWAYS WHEN I SLEEP!!!」

I thought I couldn’t turn sideways anymore――!

In my excitement, I――Completely forgot about Lyla’s presence.

「…」

The dragon girl was looking at me with a dumbfounded face.

「A~h… Cough. Thank you very much for helping me to learn this magic.」

I quickly cleared my throat and spoke with a serious face.

「Ah, no… Uhm, yes…」

Lyla hung her head down, her shoulders were trembling non-stop.

It might be just my imagination though.

A bit… It was only just a little bit.

I saw her tense face loosened a bit.
