SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

Chapter 604 Sizzling Transformation

>SHWUUUUSSSHHHHH<

An intense amount of energy swirled around Vaizer, and his body suddenly transformed to a larger state.

He took on the form of a beast, and his gleaming scales covered his entire body. In a flash, he grew a long tail, his horns grew larger, and wings sprouted from behind him.

Not only had he grown larger, but his form was different. The only thing human-like about him was his bipedal nature. Other than that, he was now a completely different being.

'That is... Beast Transformation!' Aloe acknowledged in silence, wondering what she would do next.

Vaizer had become an apex of beasts, worthy of being titled the strongest in terms of power and prestige.

That's right, his current form... was that of a Dragon!

"His abilities have risen even more. This will be tough..."

Aloe proceeded to enhance herself with Magic, hoping she would be able to keep up. Even with her Original Magic slowing everything down, she was still at a loss. Just how fast was this person?!

'I'll have to take more!'

"Hey, human..." Vaizer's deeper, more authoritative tone rang out.

Aloe found herself shudder a bit when she heard the Dragon-like being speak. It rattled her down to her bones.

"... I'll be killing you now."

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM<

Vaizer lunged at Aloe, and despite her Aurora Vidalis, he was still plenty fast. As he approached, she wondered the best approach to take.

'Stall for time? But then what? I don't want to trouble the others unless I'm aware that he can't be handled. What should I do?'

Asa was meant to assist her, but she couldn't entirely rely on his help. Ultimately, she had to make an active choice.

'But... can I win? Do I stand a chance?'

Suddenly, a memory flashed in her head and she collected the words of a certain Automaton.

"You lack enough violence." Those were the words of Gawain when they fought back in training.

Jared had also told her something similar, saying she was 'too conservative.'

Her fighting style was always centered around using her speed and excess Magic abilities to defeat her opponents.

However, it wasn't like she engaged the opponents violently. She preferred using her wits, or even one-shotting them. An attempt to struggle in a head-on clash, until there was a final victor, had no appeal to her.

In the past, she was different. But, everything changed after suffering a miserable and painful death at the hands of the demons back when she was a dorm supervisor.

It was since then that she felt repugnant to excessive violence and the meaningless struggle centered around it.

Unfortunately, here she was again, confronted with something similar.

'But... I don't know for sure if I can win or not.'

Had she really ever pushed herself to the limits with her current strength? She was overflowing with so much power, far more than ever before.

'More... I can have more!'

It wasn't impossible to reach out for more. Her growth so far had always been about surpassing her limits.

There was nothing stopping her from doing the very same at the moment.

"I'll do it. I'll give it my all!"

And so, Aloe decided to finally do what she had been avoiding.

"Come!" She was going to face Vaizer head-on!

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!<

The clash of the gold and azure beings sent a destructive wave spreading across the area. The icy dungeon parted and everything around them melted in moments.

"You... stopped my blow?!" Vaizer was stunned beyond words.

His bloodshot eyes widened upon realizing his target's head was still intact. She was meant to have died by now!

"Haaa..." Mist-like breath proceeded from Aloe's parted lips.

Hot steam surrounded her, and her golden ambiance radiated even further.

It was brimming with unbelievable energy and heat.

Her eyes were completely covered in white light, and so were the insides of her lips and nostrils. Every fiber of her being had transformed into light—pure and true.

"... It wasn't that a big a deal, after all." She whispered.

Vaizer felt the sting of her insult. Did she just refer to his blow as not that big a deal?

No, she really didn't.

Vaizer misunderstood Aloe's words.

To he frank, her body was still in shock from receiving that hit. It had damaged her, no doubt.

However.... what of it?!

"You won't be killing me, Vaizer." Aloe's tone warbled as she crunched her fist in preparation for a well deserved payback.

Currently, Aloe Vida's form allowed her transcend the limits of a human body. She was faster than the concept of pain, and every damage recieved was too slow to manifest on her form.

After taking in so much light from.around her, leaving nothing but darkness around, Aloe had gone past the limits holding her back.

She was currently light energy at its purest!

"You bit—"

Faster than he could perceive, much faster than anyone could comprehend, Aloe casually dug her fist into Vaizer's face.

She didn't struggle, neither did she intend to move quickly. It was just a casual jab.

Vaizer's face sizzled, burning up due to the amount of heat that plastered itself there. He was unmoving though, simply transfixed in his position.

Then, in a flash—

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!<

The Dragonoid was sent flying.

Shockwaves were sent, clearing everything—even the debris. The large auditorium collapsed, revealing the frosty environment surrounding the dungeon.

The entire structure was already melting at an abnormal rate.

"Gurk... you... what did you do?" Vaizer groaned, feeling his body throb in shock.

He was already outside the Dungeon and all he could see for miles was a snowy storm. Heaving heavily and seeing his misty breath, he picked himself up.

'Just now... I didn't see her. I just felt myself move, and... what is this?' Vaizer felt the scales on his face crack.

Just... what in the world was happening?

Suddenly, the being of absolute light manifested right above him. She was glimmering like the sun in the absolute darkness that accompanied her.

Everything slowly became swallowed by night, leaving her as the only source of light present.

The ice around began melting, and the snow stopped raining. They sizzled and evaporated instead.

'She... what has she become?'
