Scarlet
A large swirl of blood forms around my entire body, just like what happens with my arm when I shift it. And also just like with how my arm was at first, a wave of pain flashes through my body. One that I lessen the blow of through the use of pain diffusion.
Unlike with my old partial shift skill though which I also need to check the new changes of this transformation drains far more mana, and it is taking longer. Soon enough an entire five seconds pass before I feel the pain beginning to lessen, which could make a large difference in a fight.
Now that the pain is getting out of the way though, I feel very different. I feel stronger. Faster. My senses have sohow improved even more. And most importantly, Im going to need new clothes again. At least, if the ripping sounds that I hear are anything to go by.
When my vision returns to , the blood having finally faded, I find a two-ter-tall werewolf standing in front of the mirror while wearing pretty badly torn clothes due to my increase in size. So without any hesitation, and before I can get embarrassed, I activate my magi-tech armor, the amulet still settled comfortably on my chest despite my increase in size. And after activating it, the magi-tech gear forms as usual but in a larger size this ti to accommodate my larger body.
I glance at Tar before briefly rembering that he apparently has no sexual interest in humans. So I let out a sigh and focus on my reflection again.
Not that it really matters right now anyways, seeing as I dont exactly resemble a human much right now. Im covered in black fur streaked with blood red highlights after all. My hands, or rather, paws also have razor sharp claws, and my eyes are practically radiating a sinister red light with no pupils or sclera. Just straight up glowing red.
I turn around as I realize I feel sothing behind , only to find a tail extending from my tailbone, which has grimacing.
It was bound to happen, Tar says, making nod.
What werewolf doesnt have a tail after all? It would just be weird if I didnt have one in my werewolf form.
At least its not very fluffy. Rather slicked down and with streaks of red just like the rest of my fur actually.
I guess its okay since it should count as a weapon. Assuming this tail is made of blood tal?
It should be, Tar answers, making try to smile at that, only to realize that I need to figure out how to smile. Seeing as I have a muzzle right now with a head akin to a werewolf from a horror movie. I would recomnd you not ever use that form in public as well. Because its not very hard to link to a blood lycan, unlike your original skills.
I nod my head at that and try to respond out loud, only to realize that its kind of impossible to do that right now as I instead end up making growling noises.
Oh, right, Tar mutters, sounding like hes just rembering this little issue. Yeah, you wont be able to talk in the rare version of the skill from what your father told .
My eyes narrow as I glare at the tanuki, who backs up while raising his front paws into the air and saying, Hey, dont look at like that! Do you have any idea how terrifying you look right now?
I blink at that before tilting my head slightly and then turning it to look at the mirror again. And the sight that greets when I narrow my eyes at it is honestly pretty horror film worthy.
Interesting. If Im being honest, Im pretty sure that if I were soone else, then Id mistake for a demon if I saw myself in a Fracture.
Not really sothing I want happening.
So no beast form unless Im either absolutely sure no human is near, or I have no other choice and have to in order to save my life.
Unfortunately this also ans that I cant go to the training hall to test out how powerful I am in my werewolf form.
I try to talk to Tar again, only for growls and snarls to co out instead, making my eyes narrow again.
Stupid form not being able to talk.
With that thought, I try to cancel the skill, only to realize that I cant.
Activate it again, Tar answers my confusion. Full body transformation skills are different from partial ones. Full body transformations are not simply activated and deactivated. Instead you are just using the skill. Then you have to use it again to transform back.
Oh. So itll cost twenty percent of my total mana to transform to my beast form and back?
Yes, it will, Tar says, sounding regretful about that.
Well, thats annoying.
Oh, right. Before I turn back
I turn my head to look at the tail before trying to focus on the thing. And focus. And focus. And focus.
Eventually I do manage to feel sothing. A strange sensation in the tail. And the mont I pull on that sensation, the tail suddenly turns into blood tal entirely, allowing to instinctively move it around like a whip.
But more importantly, it lets retract the tail into my body. So I imdiately do so.
Yes!!! I dont have to have a tail after all!
Tar snorts as he sees what must look like a terrifying werewolf jumping into the air while shooting its clawed arms upwards in celebration. But I ignore him. I dont even feel embarrassed by what I just did. Just happy that I dont have to have a stupid tail.
You sound a little defensive over the idea of having a tail, Tar comnts with an amused note to his tone.
Well, wouldnt you if you saw all of those comnts and civilians talking about Scarlet needing a tail and how they want to Stroke Scarlets tail when she gets one and various other disturbing things like that?
Tar doesnt answer for a mont before eventually admitting, Yeah, I can see that becoming creepy. And actually getting a tail would make it much worse if they ever saw it.
Yep. I dont care that Im planning on hiding this form from them regardless. I do not want a tail. Even if it wouldve only been in a temporary shapeshifted form.
