Meanwhile, as Anise goes to do whatever it is she is doing, Xania decides to experiment more with her divinity, remembering how Anise knew even more than her despite not having even nearly as much as she does.
“So… what to try it out on first? Maybe a… Pig? I’ve heard of humans using animals to test their weapons out too.”
Xania teleports far away in a random direction using a magic circle to send her to the unknown location as she looks around, instantly finding a couple of animals but no pigs.
She looks around, teleporting from location to location as she eventually gives up after a few hours, finding a herd of cows and using pure divinity on one of them, causing it to get a lot stronger and faster.
“Wow, I guess that was unexpected? I wonder if its life span has increased.” Xania thinks as she uses time magic on it, taking longer to die than something with an estimated maximum age of 20 years.
“Huh, around 40 years huh? I wonder what happens if I used more divinity.” Xania turns to look at the other cows, finding them all having fled due to the sudden increase in mana concentration and divinity which is a completely unknown energy to most living beings, especially animals like cows who are extremely weak when compared to beings who are able to contain and use divinity.
“Cows? Where did you guys go? Hello???” Xania looks around, teleporting everywhere as she finally finds a cow again.
“Ah, ha! Get your cow ass here now!” Xania starts chasing after the cow which runs away due to the mana leaking out of her due to being annoyed that a cow is running away.
“Screw this.” Xania uses magic to chain the cow, preventing it from moving as she starts using divinity on it.
“Hm… I guess I’m gonna try… a tenth of the divinity Anise has?” Xania starts using divinity on it, reaching a percent of the already little amount that Anise has before the cows blows up, its blood and organs painting the nearby ground along with Xania who doesn’t bother teleporting away and just closes her eyes and mouth tightly.
“Ew…” She uses fire to burn and evaporate all of the body parts and blood that ended up on her before teleporting away and looking down.
“Ok, I guess I can’t really evaporate the blood out of my clothes fast enough without actually burning the clothes themselves too.” Xania teleports back to her bedroom where she burns off everything she is wearing, immediately materialising a new layer of clothes onto herself, basically the same thing she does every time she wakes up due to being too lazy to change clothes the normal way.
“People who waste time actually taking off their clothes and putting a new set on are stupid. Wait, Anise does that, oh yea, she’s stupid.” Xania teleports back to try to find more cows as she suddenly notices a lone pig, standing there looking at her.
“What the actual hell.” Xania walks closer to the pig, intending to use it as a test subject as it starts to run away.
“Hey! I haven’t even used any mana or divinity!” Xania chains the pig with magic as it just keeps running, dispelling the magic as Xania notices mana leaking out of its body, albeit very less.”
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
“What the actual hell is this.” Xania teleports in front of it, caging it in with a very thick amount of dark mana with barely enough space, creating a black coloured cage.
“If you are a person using magic to shapeshift, you sure as hell better stop it or I'll turn you into porkchop while you’re still a pig.”
The pigg suddenly starts changing shapes making Xania think that it was indeed a person but it suddenly changes into her appearance annoying her.
“Change into your real damn appearance or I'll put a stick up your…” Xania’s voice trail off as the now ex-pig uses magic on Xania, surprising her as she waits for something to happen but not finding any difference as it starts changing from person to person, from Anise to Dragrove, Blob, the elves, Hepast and everybody else, slowly speeding up to the point where it’s form looks like a messed up mixture of everybody she knows, causing her to expend the cage due to not wanting to see an explosion due to how cramp it is.
“I know I’ve said this many times already today, but what the hell.” Xania shoots it with a weak concentrated shot of mana as it screeches in pain, making an unholy sound and turning into a weird black goo which keeps trying to assume a form but failing to do so.
“I think I know who to ask about this… thing.” Xania cages it in completely as it tries to slide itself out of the gaps between the small bars of the cage, making a handle on the top of it as she picks it up, teleporting to her bedroom with it and setting it down.
Xania takes a deep breath, using mana to enhance her voice as she shouts. “Davien! Get the hell here right now!” Davien appears, crossing his arms.
“I’m not your slave y’know?”
“Don’t care, what is this thing?” Xania changes the box from concentrated dark mana into neutral mana, causing it to turn transparent and look somewhat water-like without all the movements water has.
“Oh, this thing? It’s nothing.” Davien shrugs it off, intending to leave before Xania asks more
“Nah, you aren’t going anywhere.” Xania grabs his arm, pulling him back to it with it still trying to assume a form, currently being a half melted looking Xania.
“Fine, it just came from somewhere since somebody opened up a portal from somewhere.”
“Ok, What is somewhere and someone?”
“Idk? Just call it a shapeshifter I suppose, also since I can see it turning into well, a bunch of people or at least trying to, I assume it used magic on you”
“You know? What kind of magic is it?” Xania looks at Davien.
“Memory reading magic, it’s different from mind reading which yes, does exist along with the bond you have from the familiar contract.”
“Then, what do I do with it?” Xania asks as Davien turns to look at her like she's an idiot. “Kill it” He answers as he disappears quickly.
“Seriously, this guy is physically weaker yet so much damn faster than me, but why the hell is he in such a rush to leave?” Xania turns to look at the thing currently designated as ‘shapeshifter’ as she signs, shooting it with a shot of concentrated mana, causing it to let out another terrible screech.
“Oh my god, shut the hell up!” Xania shoots it again, causing it to die as another chunk of it gets blown up.
Xania sighs, looking away, not wanting to clean it up as she feels mana being absorbed in its direction, causing her to turn back just in time to see it expanding.
“What is going… oh, fu—” The shapeshifter explodes, causing black goo everywhere as Xania closes her eyes and mouth tightly again.
“Twice in a damn day, no wonder that bastard wanted to ditch so quickly.”
Xania notices a slight stinging pain on her body as she looks around, wiping the goo off her face with the back of her hand, noticing the room get dissolved.
“So, you were acidic huh?” Too bad it doesn’t work too well on me.” Xania starts trying to burn the goo away only to find that it is resistant to fire and any higher would melt the room which is much more inconvenient making Xania sigh.
“Damn.” Xania starts using magic to lift the goo from the walls, floor and ceiling while repairing it, teleporting the goo into a very concentrated box of mana and sending it to Davien’s room.
‘A gift for the bastard’ She writes on a note, sending it with the box.
“Ok, problem solved… I really need a shower this time round.” Xania reluctantly teleports to the shower, burning her clothes off.
“Yay… what a joy.”
