Volume 1, Chapter 18

A crimson light pierced the heavens,

An unstoppable, terrifying force erupted from the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, sweeping across hundreds of miles in an instant.

As the one who caused all this,

Yumo, within the consciousness space of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, was naturally aware of everything happening outside. However, too excited to care, she had no spare energy to control her power.

Her attention was entirely focused on that scroll of Shapeshifting Magic.

So far, everything was going smoothly.

Which meant this Shapeshifting Magic was effective. She might really be able to use this magic to obtain a body of her own!

For Yumo, this was undoubtedly thrilling news.

After hundreds of years, she could finally have her own body, finally experience this other world firsthand. No longer permanently confined to a corner of the forest!

“Today really is a good day!”

Musing inwardly, Yumo followed the scroll’s instructions, extending her Shadow Essence and soul energy to envelop everything within the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, not leaving even a single broken tile or splintered wood behind.

When a Sword Spirit uses the Elven Race’s Shapeshifting Magic, it completely releases its steel-constructed sword body, transforming it into energy molecules. These molecules then reassemble into a human form, whose appearance matches the Sword Spirit’s Soul Body.

Presumably, the principle was the same for her.

Thinking this, Yumo grew even more delighted.

Reconstructing a body identical to her soul? Her Soul Body should look like her previous life’s self, right?!

Couldn’t that be understood as her past self being reborn in this other world?!

Recalling her previous life—her “handsome and dashing” face, her “robust” physique—Yumo couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild. After regaining her original body, she might truly be able to roam the world freely like the protagonists in novels and anime, enjoying delicious food and life.

And maybe, just maybe, she could even pick up girls!!

If she could pick up girls in this other world, or even start a harem…

That would be absolutely amazing~

“Hehehe~~”

Yumo couldn’t help but chuckle mischievously in her heart.

Moreover,

Once she regained her former male form, she could rightfully tell those bratty girls to obediently call her “Daddy”! Not “Mommy”! Let’s see how they refute that now, hehe~~

‘Call me “Daddy” right now!!’

Anyway,

Life after obtaining a body was definitely something to look forward to.

Thus,

Driven by this desire to have a body, Yumo accelerated the mobilization of her power. The towering crimson light pillar even began to show signs of expanding and erupting.

After another series of energy compressions and spatial ruptures,

The blood-red light pillar piercing the heavens and the endless crimson Shadow Essence sweeping the surroundings began to converge continuously toward the center of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons. The Hall itself gradually disintegrated, turning into a sky full of crimson energy particles, flowing along with the Shadow Essence toward the center of the hall.

These converging forces gradually formed a red energy sphere brimming with destructive aura.

Simultaneously,

Countless blood-red glowing butterflies fluttered their wings, flying in from all directions, gathering around the energy sphere, enveloping it in a “cocoon” made of butterflies. Within this ‘cocoon,’ the violent crimson energy began to condense and compress, slowly taking on a human form…

…

A long time later,

The violent energy gathered here gradually dissipated, and countless blood-red butterflies scattered in all directions.

Yumo’s brand-new body was revealed under the sunlight…

Hmm,

This should be done now, right?

After completing all the steps of the Shapeshifting Magic, Yumo’s consciousness gradually attempted to leave the consciousness space. Following the secret method’s instructions, she began establishing a connection with the new body. The connection process was remarkably smooth, and soon Yumo started gradually gaining control of the body.

As the connection was established, a comfortable sensation of a gentle breeze brushing against her face suddenly transmitted to her mind, filling Yumo’s heart with joy.

?!

This feeling?!

Is, is this wind?! How long has it been since I felt the wind?! And… this scent? The smell of soil? No! This is the scent of nature!

I have a sense of touch! I have a sense of smell!!

Mmm~

The sudden surge of delight and excitement gradually helped Yumo suppress the overwhelming drowsiness in her new body. She forced her eyes open slowly, wanting to observe this world properly with her own eyes, not just through perception as before.

The moment she opened her eyes,

What greeted Yumo’s vision was a blurry scene, as if covered in a mosaic. But as time passed and Yumo waited expectantly, the view in her vision became clearer and clearer.

??

What’s this?!

As her eyesight recovered, many black “obstacles” gradually appeared in Yumo’s line of sight, blocking much of her view.

Rеad οn КatRеaⅾinɡСаfе

Huh? This?? Is this hair?? I remember my Soul Body didn’t have such long hair??

Does the Shapeshifting Magic come with a hair growth effect?

Hmm, whatever,

If that’s really the case, at least I won’t have to worry about going bald in the future.

But, this is so annoying!!

Complaining inwardly, Yumo tried to raise her hand to brush aside the beautiful black hair obstructing her view. But at that moment, Yumo’s eyes widened sharply, and her heart trembled.

Huh?!

This, this is?

This is my hand!!

This sudden, astonishing discovery instantly snapped Yumo out of her unparalleled excitement. She stared in utter bewilderment at the slender, delicate little hand before her, so different from what she had imagined. The hand was uncommonly beautiful, slender and narrow yet plump and fair, with nails glowing a bluish hue, soft and tinged with a rosy luster…

Anyway,

It didn’t quite look like her former hand, or rather, not like the hand most boys should have…

“This?? My hand??”

Yumo couldn’t help but exclaim.

And the moment her voice reached her ears, she froze instantly. Because what entered her ears wasn’t the masculine, youthful voice of her past, but a girl’s voice as delightful as a babbling spring, refreshing and heartwarming.

Wait?! What the hell?! This… this… is my voice?!

In an instant,

A sense of foreboding surged into Yumo’s heart.

Reаd оn KаtRеaⅾiոɡСаfe

Co-could it be?!

Taking a deep breath, Yumo resolutely reached that delicate, jade-like hand down below.

Unfortunately,

Her fingers did not touch the ‘son’ she had longed for day and night, but instead, something tender, smooth, and moist…

Indescribable…

At that moment, an indescribable sensation struck Yumo’s brain like a thunderbolt. A faint blush gradually appeared on her lovely face.

That existence she never had the chance to touch in her youth,

Had actually appeared on her own body…

She fell silent, her body trembling involuntarily.

Then,

The next second,

Yumo could no longer contain the frustration in her heart and erupted.

“Ahhhhhhh!!! What is this?! What do you mean?!! What the hell!!”

The girl’s hysterical roar suddenly echoed through Deepwinter Forest!

Startling the Abyssal Demons who heard it, causing them to crouch on the ground, trembling.

Though unsure exactly what happened,

Their boss seemed to be in a rather bad mood…
