Chapter 21 - Now Im a Real Clown (1/2)

'But before that...'

Krune remember the main reason why he needed to reach Foundation Establishment first, that was because he needed his human form to be able to leave this forest without being hunted all the time.

”Ruik, do you know how the human form thing works?”

Ruik, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.

”Human form? Oh that's right, the weaker the species, the earlier they can turn into their human form, since you are a wisp, then you probably can already transform straight away after Foundation Establishment.”

”Although I will only be able to do that after I get to the late stages or maybe even Core Formation, I still know a little about it, it seems like it's something that comes from your desire, as long as you will it, it should come as a matter of course, just try it out.”

Krune didn't expect to be that easy, but since that was the case he might as well try it out now, Krune willed it and sure enough, his body started to transform, his energy body suddenly started to get corporeal, the form of a head and four limbs quickly appeared, nothing special, Krune body seems to be of a very ordinary human, then the other parts came forward, as expected, due to Krune's personality, he turned out to be a man, easily seen by his little friend in between his legs, the last part to take form was the hair, it was a short hair, which was good for him, if he had got long hair he would definitely cut it off for it to not get in the way.

Krune was now standing up in front of Ruik, Lakin and the rest, Krune then opened his eyes, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

”It's so different! My vision as a wisp allows me to see everything in a 360 degree, but my vision as a human can only see what is in front of my face.”

Ruik didn't feel that it was strange.

”That is how almost all races see the world, there is very few races capable to see more than what is in from of their eyes, basically, they would not feel anything strange about that after taking the human form.”

Krune agreed with that statement, but it was really inconvenient for him to be able to see so 'little', but he soon got an idea, Krune concentrated for a bit and let his wisp core release some of its energy body form around it, sure enough, as soon as it took form, Krune's vision got back to what it was, he even pondered if he should walk with his eyes closed from now on, but he quickly discarded this idea, he would only look like a weird that way, it is good enough that he can keep the human form but still retain his full range of vision, he should avoid being paid attention. Unfortunately for him, it will be impossible.

”It worked, as long as I release some of my energy body out of my core I can see everything around me again and still keep the human form.”

Ruik was a little surprised, he is a double headed snake, but still, he can only see what is in front of his eyes, but now that Krune took the human form he can still see everything in the surroundings.

”That's quite useful, you don't need to keep your Divine Sense active all the time to be able to see around you, I envy this ability of yours.”

”By the way, why are you just standing there? Try to use your body more and see the differences while moving.”

Krune agreed with the idea, but as soon as he tried to take one step, he tripped and fell with his face on the ground, it hurt quite a little.

”Fuc*, how do I move this thing?”

Ruik and Lakin burst in laugh, that was very comical, Krune tried to get up be he simply didn't know how to control his body, his arms and legs looked like worms, moving everywhere without any logic.

It only made Ruik and Lakin laugh even harder, Krune was feeling gloomy, but this is to be expected, Krune is basically an spiritual energy ball, and now he suddenly got a body with limbs, it would be a miracle if he could use it straight away.

Around ten minutes later, Krune finally got up, he was trembling while trying to keep his balance though, Ruik and Lakin were still laughing at the side, Krune pondered if he should give them a beating later.

With great effort and after several hours, Krune could finally at least walk normally, but he couldn't do any hard movements yet, it was then that he heard Ruik commenting.

”By the way, why is your hair so... colorful?”

Krune was stunned for a bit, colorful? He went beside the spiritual vein lake and took a look at his reflection, sure enough, his hair was very colorful, just like a... rainbow! The most weird thing is how the colors moved around in his hair, it even shined a bit.

Krune felt despair, before he decided to keep his eyes open while walking to not catch much attention, but now it turned out that no one can get more attention than himself.

”Oh great! I already have the rainbow candy core, now I look like a real clown too, I just need a few Kids to entertain and I might make a living in the city doing birthday parties.”

Ruik and Lakin heard that and burst in laugh again, unfortunately for them, they didn't laugh for long, that's because Krune finally snapped out, he turned back to his wisp form and gave a through beating on both of them, Ruik was left with lot of bruises all around his body and Lakin energy body became very dim, they didn't dare to laugh anymore, they found out for the first time that Krune is very scary when he is angry.

Krune turned back to his human form and kept practicing, practice makes perfect, it had only been eight hours since he first took the human form, but he can finally run a little, he is still tripping here and there but it's already a lot better than not being able to even stand up properly.

There was one thing that no one here took note though, during all this time Krune has been... naked! If someone from outside could see it, they would wonder whether Krune is some pervert, a grow man with rainbow hair kept running around with his third leg dancing with the winds all the time, truly a sight to behold... maybe not.

It was not that no one noticed, be it Ruik, Lakin or Krune, they know very well that he is naked, but two of them are wisps while the former is a demon snake, they have never used cloths to start with, for then it was simply natural to not have cloths on.

Suddenly, Krune heard a weird sound coming from his belly, not only that but he felt like he needs more energy, but even after absorbing spiritual energy to feed his wisp core, he still felt like he was getting weak, he asked Ruik if he had any idea, Ruik didn't know if he should laugh or cry.

”Are you an idiot? Haven't you fed those Lizard Dragons for a long time? Let me ask you, why do they need to be fed?”

Krune immediately understood, he is... hungry! Such a weird feeling, wisps only need spiritual energy to survive, he didn't know that his human form would require food. Unfortunately for Krune, there is only some carcasses outside the cave room, when he looked at the Lizard Dragons eating he felt it was horrible to even look at. Krune remembered the time that he looked around the villages close to the forest, the people there would burn the meat and eat fruits, he tried to do the same, after taking a few slices of the prey, he put some fire and... turned that meat into crisp in a second.

Of course it was a failure, Krune had never cooked before, he doesn't even know the world 'cook' to start with, but then again, practice makes perfect, several tries later he finally cooked some meat, the taste wasn't good though, but it looked much better to the eyes than the raw meat, and tastier than raw too, he also went out and collected some fruits, this time he finally understood what the word tasty means, the fruits were really good, he felt like he could get addicted to eating if he doesn't control himself.

”The feeling of eating something is great! Ruik, you should have told me how good it is before!”

Ruik looked at him as someone looking at an idiot, he have always eaten ever since he can remember himself, it was just normal for him, sure, eating when you are hungry felt good, but is it necessary to be this hyped out? He just ignored Krune and went back sleep.
