Chapter 25: Transform into a Human!
Author: It's short, please forgive me!
Translator: Thank you! Thank you!
Until now, I had only thought about fending off the sparks that came my way, but from now on, I also need to gather information on the "Demon King."
Although I accepted it calmly, I must keep my promise.
I am a man who keeps his promises.
She gave me a new ability.
The Unique Skill "Mutator" and the Extra Skill "Heat Manipulation."
As a bonus, I also consumed the Flame Giant, didn't I?
It wasn't my enemy, but this guy was dangerous too.
Is this guy an A-rank Over?
Clearly, I wouldn't be able to win against the black snake or the black wolf.
I need to consistently research my abilities.
I have the most important thing to check!
That's right! Human transformation!!!
I entered the tent prepared for me.
I said, "No one come in!" and closed the door.
Hehehe, hahaha, hahahahaha!
Using the three-step laughter correctly,
Although there was no sound effect, I executed the imitation: Human!
This is the first time I've felt such anticipation for the imitation effect.
The black mist that always appears didn't come out.
I thought, "What's going on!" but the height of my viewpoint was slightly higher.
More importantly, I had hands and feet.
And, it changed from a light blue to a flesh color.
I'm not quite sure, but it feels different from what I intended.
I'm frustrated that there's no mirror.
I don't want to admit it, but I've felt this state before.
A long time ago, yes, about 30 years ago...
The feeling of being around the age of a primary school student.
I was too flustered to notice, but there's a bigger difference.
The newly born, my son (there)......the 2-year-old appearance is gone!
I was extremely flustered and checked.
And I realized the shocking fact...
It was completely, utterly, nothing.
When I think about it, I didn't have such doubts when I imitated a monster.
There's no need for excretion, so there wouldn't be an excretory organ...
If that's the case, naturally, there's no need for a reproductive organ if there's no need for reproduction, right?
The answer is... my current state, perhaps...
A deep sense of loss and, indeed! A sense of acceptance overwhelmed me.
I couldn't believe it! I checked my head in a panic. It was slightly fuzzy and soft to the touch.
Fortunately, I don't seem to be some strange humanoid like an alien!
Thinking about it, the black wolf was also slightly fuzzy.
If there were no fur, what kind of monster... I don't want to imagine it.
Let's stop. This is dangerous territory.
Well, did I get a little flustered, unlike my cool self?
Let's accept this and move on regarding the son.
It's painful that I can't check my entire body...
When I thought that, a nice idea came to mind: What if I use a "Clone"?
Let's see if it's possible in this state.
Black mist spewed out of my body and gathered in front of me, forming a humanoid shape.
In an instant, it was completed.
This "danger" has several meanings.
A cute-looking girl? Boy? It's neutral because there's no gender...
If I had to choose, it's closer to a girl's face.
It's because the original is a lady, and my genes aren't visible at all.
Well, that's to be expected. It's only natural.
A cute child stands naked. Well, there's nothing to hide, so it's fine...
But, it's ethically dangerous.
However, the incredibly cute face. Here, I must say, Shizue-san > GJ!
I was a nice guy, but I wasn't a pretty boy. Even with nostalgia correction, it's a stretch.
Honestly, I should be grateful for this.
I wrapped myself in fur and gave some to the clone as well.
This time, I need to prepare clothes.
The dangerous reason for the clone.
Although I called it a clone, with my excellent computational ability, I'm completely linked.
In other words, neither is me.
There's no difference between the main body and the clone.
Well, the Flame Giant's clone ability was clearly inferior.
However, I don't feel a drop in my clone's ability. Well, there might be a slight drop...
It's the capacity of mana. Initially, only the amount of mana used is allowed.
However, it's possible to share more mana.
My mana capacity is considerable. Depending on how I use it, it could be a significant force.
Just, the Flame Giant could only clone into about 10 individuals, but my clone is so high-performance that one is the limit.
Most importantly, this is a cheat skill from the opponent's perspective.
It's the lack of discomfort in the transformation.
I noticed this when the black mist didn't appear.
For example, the black wolf.
When I transform into a black wolf, I use black mist to form the transformation. This is a limitation of the slime body.
The slime body lacks hands and feet, which limits physical movement, but the cellular ability is very high.
Each cell is a muscle, brain, and nerve.
Do you understand? The eyes see, the nerves transmit information, and it reaches the brain.
Such a process is unnecessary.
Even without the "Great Sage" correction of 1000x perception, my reaction speed surpasses that of an ordinary person.
However, with the black mist body, there's a slight time lag in reaching the brain = main body.
Perhaps the slight degradation of the clone is due to this part.
So, if I transform into a human without using black mist...?
That's right! The reaction speed is equal to that of the slime body. There's no discomfort.
And, the improvement in movement ability due to having hands and feet! ...Even though I'm a child.
Still, it's easier to move than a slime.
Also, since I don't use black mist, there's no mana consumption.
From now on, I'll mainly use this form! I thought.
Suddenly, I gave an order to the clone.
Move smoothly as if moving itself.
The clone started to grow!!!
A slender figure. Long silver hair. A beautiful, neutral face.
From there, it can be further feminized or masculinized.
It can be made into a tomboy, fat, middle-aged, or elderly.
It was confirmed that various states of imitation are possible.
Just like using black mist to transform into a monster, it can also transform into an adult by supplementing the missing parts.
This might be good for enhancing physical strength.
The reaction speed drops, but being larger is advantageous for power.
Well, I think speed is the most important factor in battle!
After experimenting with various things, I confirmed the abilities of the new body.
Thus, I obtained the human body in this world!
