Chapter 35: Transformation
Elrose pouted as she slumped on the bed, stretching out her hand to summon the main page once again.
“Activate Magical Girl Development System.”
Elrose looked speechless and said, “Oh my gosh, I’m really fed up, how can this happen? Can the Evil God be a bit more reliable?”
Lying on the bed, Elrose thought for a moment before suddenly sitting up straight.
“How about I transform tonight?”
“And then, go to Linshire Village for a look.”
Elrose remembered that the Shadow Magical Girl had the [Flying] skill, and her mana was abundant enough to reach Linshire Village.
With that thought, Elrose took out the mana restoration potion from the Heart of Shadow and gulped it down.
It tasted sweet and felt quite nice.
Gradually, a wonderful warmth rose from Elrose’s lower abdomen.
It was mana.
Elrose swallowed hard, slowly getting up and facing the mirror in the room, gently reciting the incantation the Evil God had taught her.
One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed…
Two minutes passed, but there was no change on Elrose.
“Wait, wasn’t it promised that after drinking the potion and reciting the spell I could transform? That handsome (foolish) Evil God wouldn’t be lying to me, right?”
Elrose gritted her teeth, suppressing her frustration, and recited that embarrassing incantation again.
Still no reaction.
Just as she was about to erupt, the Evil God’s message board suddenly popped up.
“Oh my sun (day), so you were here?” Elrose quickly replied, “I have a few questions, hurry up and answer me.”
???
“Damn it, running off after showing off, how infuriating!”
Elrose cussed loudly, determined that the next time she saw that little white-haired brat, she was definitely going to hit him again.
Elrose snorted coldly and stood in front of the mirror again, slightly calming her emotions. She recalled the Evil God’s words, and a shy blush gradually crept onto her face.
Relax, relax, Elrose, there’s nothing to be shy about.
It’s just reciting a few spells, what’s so embarrassing about that?
Once you’re done, you can reclaim 20% of your power and then go see Joy.
Hmph, it’s just a matter of being a bit louder, right?
Who’s afraid of whom?
Elrose took a deep breath, looked at herself in the mirror, raised her right hand, cast away all shyness, and focused intently.
“O King of Fear, darker than black, deeper than darkness, follow the agreement with the Deity, let thy great power reappear in this world.”
“I am the most adorable person in the world; I represent absolute justice; I am the embodiment of love and miracles.”
“The power of darkness and soul entwines my being, supreme mana transforms into my sword and shield.”
“I am the Shadow Magical Girl.”
In an instant, a mysterious magic formation rose from beneath Elrose’s feet, as a black mana vortex swept through the room.
The Heart of Shadow suddenly emitted a huge radiance, transforming into countless butterflies that danced gracefully.
Elrose’s original clothes instantly disappeared, replaced by a splendid outfit and a cool cloak, with the last butterfly landing on the back of her head, dying her silver hair black and transforming into a butterfly-shaped hairpin that secured her long hair, flowing gently down.
With a flick of her little hand, the magic formation, vortex, and butterflies instantly vanished, transforming into countless shining black mana particles that scattered freely.
The Shadow Magical Girl shone brilliantly.
Elrose looked at her reflection in the mirror, her expression becoming increasingly unable to contain her excitement; she was beginning to understand what the Evil God meant.
This transformation was kind of cool.
Unexplainable feelings surged through her mind, and Elrose grabbed her cloak, swinging it forcefully.
“From the abyss of pitch-blackness I come, I am the Shadow Magical Girl, the one who bears all the despair of this world and brings hope to it.”
So cool, so cool, so cool.
This girl is really awesome.
Not only cool but also adorable.
Elrose touched her splendid outfit.
Indeed, a cute girl should wear cute clothes.
With the boost from this Magical Girl outfit, her cuteness level certainly tripled.
Suddenly, a strong evening breeze burst through the window, extinguishing the candles in the room.
The room instantly fell into darkness, with a beam of pure moonlight streaming through the window, shining down on Elrose.
Elrose stared in a daze.
She looked so beautiful in the mirror that even she was about to drown in the sight.
Elrose gently shook her head, then climbed to the window, creating a thread of pitch-black light, moving in the northeast direction toward Mornhart.
Moments later, the door of the room, secured by Elrose, was slowly pushed open.
Stella entered softly with a key.
She found the room empty, with only the open window and that beautiful moonlight.
But Elrose was nowhere to be found.
However, Stella was not flustered; instead, a strong wave of excitement surged within her.
Because she had just heard Elrose’s words in the hallway.
“The warrior of love and miracles, the Magical Girl who brings hope to the world…” Stella’s eyes filled with admiration: “So cool, so cool!”
Suddenly, Stella heard two sounds of footsteps coming up the stairs, and she quickly closed the door.
“Hey, Stella, why are you standing at Elrose’s door?” Lilith asked curiously.
“Um… well, I wanted to play with the Angelic Onee-san, but she has already fallen asleep,” Stella hurriedly explained.
“She just fell asleep?” Luna’s face showed a hint of disappointment: “I wanted to chat with her, but it seems I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.”
After chatting for a bit longer, the Moonlight Star trio returned to their respective rooms.
Lilith took out dumbbells for her daily workout that she hadn’t finished yet.
Luna sat on the bed, holding her magic tome, continuing to delve into the mysteries of magic.
Stella leaned at the window, gazing at the bright moon on the horizon, revealing a gentle smile.
“Angelic Onee-san, come back soon, okay?”
…
It was a void of darkness.
The Evil God looked at the two screens before him, gradually revealing a mysterious smile.
“Alright, alright, just as I expected, this little girl has finally set off.”
Saying this, the Evil God tilted his head slightly to glance at the second screen beside him.
“Oh dear, my My Lord Hero, why are you still meditating?”
“If you don’t hurry, you might miss your chance to impress your wife.”
