Chapter 338 - Human?! (1/2)

Since she had no choice, the Sovereign didn't try to resist anymore.

If all she needed to do was change her form, it wasn't a problem at all. If, however, that man asked her to do anything disgraceful, she wouldn't take it lying down!

With that resolve in her mind, she felt the pressure on her decreasing to the point where she could stand up. Though it didn't completely vanish, it loomed over her like a hanging sword, ready to fall on her if she did anything amusing.

She stood still, and her colossal body, which stood meters tall, began to shrink at an alarming rate!

”Beasts can do that as well?!”  from the crowd, someone yelled enthusiastically.

No one paid any heed to that man who was probably obsessed with Beasts and stared at the Sovereign in surprise. They had never seen a Beast so large be able to do that, even when there were all kinds of Beasts.

And before everything settled down, the show ended with a sight that left everyone dumbstruck except for Senior Kun and Ozul. The justification for the latter's lack of reaction wasn't required as he was simply being himself.

”Are you sure this isn't a dream?” Someone in the crowd grumbled loudly. If there had been a large crowd present, this would have caused quite a stir.

After all, where the enormous Beast had once stood, a mature woman with long red hair the color of rubies now stood in front of their very eyes!

No one present here was stupid enough to not realize that this woman was none other than The Sovereign, a Rank-10 Beast!

Before anyone could even look at her naked body, Senior Kun flicked his fingers and a dress materialized on her. The men sighed in displeasure at being robbed of the heavenly sight they were about to witness, but Senior Kun paid them no heed.

Looking at the wonder of nature, everyone felt a little envious. The Beasts on this continent already had a natural affinity towards the Mana. At the same Ranks, Beasts were always superior to humans.

Many hearts bled at the unfairness of the heavens. After all, the only advantages humans had over the Beasts were their human body and their intelligence. Together with those two, they were able to create the artifacts to rival the Beasts. However, the fact that a Beast transformed into a human right in front of them made them doubt reality.

If given an artifact or an armor to boost their strength, wouldn't the Beast completely crush humans?!

Humans already didn't like the fact that those Beasts could slowly gain intelligence comparable  to them. This on top was sure to raise red flags.

Unfortunately, people outside the barrier couldn't see nor hear anything inside. If all the humans on the continent of Egon knew about this, they would surely start expeditions to kill all the Beasts on the entire Mainland!

The Sovereign, now the beautiful woman, stood there in a strange posture. One could tell at a glance that she wasn't used to this body. In fact, she was barely able to keep her balance. It wasn't easy getting used to a transformation this big.

Ozul noticed her troubles and guessed that either she doesn't transform into this form much, or it might even be her first time.

In fact, it indeed was her first time changing into human form!

”Thwfs-”

The Sovereign opened her mouth but her very first word didn't sound humane at all. She was clearly struggling.

After a few more tries, she was able to use her new mouth to speak clearly. She already knew how to speak human language, so all she needed to do was to get used to her facial muscles.

”...This better be worth it, human.”

”So much effort only to say this? Can't say I'm not disappointed for all the time you have wasted until now. And no matter how much you hate it, this is the only way for you to get stronger,” Senior Kun spoke with a strict tone, but answered nonetheless.

Others were perplexed by what they were saying.

What they actually didn't know was that this transformation was irreversible!

...

”Alright. Since that is settled, it's time to leave,” Senior Kun said as he began to turn around.

”Leave where?” Blaze asked.

Behind him, others also had the same question, but most of them were just too afraid to ask.

”Hm? Leave to the real world, ice boy.” Senior Kun spat behind heading inside the spatial crack, ”Whoever doesn't follow me is welcome to die.”

”Ice boy... pfft!”
