“Magic that can change the lifeform and race of a being…? Does such a thing really exist?”
After hearing Izay’s explanation, Lei couldn’t help but question with doubt.
As one who has always lived in the Dungeon, an anomaly among anomalies.
Even though she usually avoided Adventurers.
Over time, she had witnessed countless magics.
Never once did she hear of magic that could transform a being’s race.
It was almost like… it was tailor-made for anomalies like herself…
“Of course it exists, since I invented it myself～” Izay grinned at her.
“Izay-sama’s invention!?” Lei instantly fell into confusion.
Isn’t it that a magician’s spells only appear based on their personal potential?
How could this be!?
“This might sound unbelievable, but Izay isn’t lying. I can vouch for him.” At this point, Fels stepped forward to guarantee Izay’s words.
He also knew the truth clearly.
Lei’s previous thoughts or guesses were correct.
This magic didn’t originally exist in the world.
Izay specially created a brand new magic to help the anomalies.
In the entire world, only Izay could casually accomplish something like this.
Even Fels… when he created the Undying Secret Art back then, he suffered severe curse backlash, turning into his current strange form.
“But… if this is magic, maintaining its effect would require mana… do we even possess mana?”
After receiving Fels’ assurance, Lei, overwhelmed with joy, hesitantly asked after a while.
Although she was a novice in magical knowledge, she understood that using magic required consuming mana.
But as anomalies evolved from monsters, where would their mana come from?
And how could they sustain the effects of this transformation magic?
“You don’t need to worry about that. The life essence of monsters and all other activities derive from the ‘Magic Stones’ within them. You also have ‘Magic Stones’ inside you. As long as I activate the magic for you, the rest will be handled by the ‘Magic Stones’.”
Izay thought for a moment and explained the situation to Lei in simple terms.
Compared to other magic that changes one’s appearance, ‘El Arcadia’ consumes a large amount of mana only when the transformation takes effect.
After all, it’s equivalent to creating an entirely new appearance for the target out of thin air.
If desired, not only can gender be changed, but the characteristics of a race can also be easily mimicked.
In other situations, maintaining the activation of the magic only requires a small additional portion of mana every day, which is quite effortless.
Moreover, since anomalies have ‘Magic Stones’ inside them, the consumption of activating the magic will naturally be borne by the ‘Magic Stones’.
As for why it doesn’t consume Izay’s mana,
That’s because the target of the magic isn’t himself～!
“The first time you use this magic, if my guess is correct, it might consume a lot of ‘Magic Stone’ power, and after successfully transforming, there may be a period of weakness.”
After making the concepts clear to Lei and the other anomalies, Izay added another note.
“Will it consume a lot of our own strength the first time?”
“That’s right, but these consumed forces can be recovered over time. After the successful activation of the magic, unless you voluntarily cancel it or face exhaustion, it won’t fail.”
Izay meticulously explained everything.
“…I understand.”
Although Lei still felt confused about the principles of this magic,
She fully grasped the other concepts.
Without hesitation, the songbird bowed slightly to Izay: “Could you please use this magic on us?”
“Eh… okay?”
For a moment, Izay didn’t know what expression to make.
This magic was created specifically for you guys～, who else would it be used on?
Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Lei tilted her head cutely: “Isn’t this how it’s done when asking someone for help in your human language?”
“Did Fels teach you that?”
“Um, is there anything wrong with what I did?”
“This… no…”
Faced with the songbird’s innocent gaze, Izay slightly shifted his eyes and looked at the black-robed magician beside him.
The latter had already turned away before Izay looked over, pretending to be uninvolved.
This topic was quickly passed over, and the first stage of the magic trial… no, the casting, began.
The anomalies were all eager to try this crucial magic that would allow them to step onto the surface.
Yet there was also a bit of fear… worrying what would happen if the magic failed.
Among them, only Mary and Lei seemed relatively carefree.
The former trusted Izay without reservation.
The latter possessed exceptional mental fortitude.
Lei belonged to the faction of anomalies that were more friendly towards humans, and having interacted with Izay beforehand, she understood him.
Therefore, she was willing to accept and experience Izay’s magic, ready to bear the consequences even if it failed.
“Hmm… Izay, may I ask one more harmless question?”
After the two women expressed their willingness, Fels, who had been pretending to admire the scenery earlier, suddenly turned around.
“Go ahead.”
“Do we need to avoid each other somewhat during the spellcasting?”
Izay: “…”
What a harmless question indeed.
No wonder the old sage has sharp insights!
Izay couldn’t help but comment internally.
But despite his comments, this question needed serious consideration.
He nodded immediately: “Yes!”
“Cough cough, alright… Brown, Snake, follow me over here. We’ll wait for news nearby.”
The anomalies have genders.
Mary and Lei are obviously female.
As for those called by Fels, the beastmen and giant water snakes, they roughly belong to the male category?
When using the transformation magic, the newly formed appearances wouldn’t have any clothing, which is why Izay brought all his daily wear along.
Adhering to the principle of modesty, it’s better to avoid each other during the process～
As for why Izay himself doesn’t avoid…
Let’s just say, as an emotionless spellcasting machine, he naturally falls outside this scope!
Only after Fels took Brown and the others away did Izay turn to Mary and Lei.
“Who wants to go first?”
“Me! Izay, I want to be the first!”
Before he even finished speaking, Mary eagerly waved her hands.
The girl’s thoughts were simple.
Hearing Izay say that his magic could turn her into a human, once she became human and gained legs, she wouldn’t have to be confined to swimming in the water like now, right?
Then she could walk freely on the ground like Lei and the others! She could even quietly follow Izay around…
That would truly be a blissful thing!
