Chapter 132: Exciting Reunion

Kuzunoha's voice came back, cheerful as ever. "Great work, darling! The Revenant is safely sealed, and you don't have to worry about her for a while. Now, I'll meet you in the real world to check on you and your—oh, you know—condition."Before I could respond, the realm shifted around me, the sea fading into darkness. In the blink of an eye, I was back in the real world, standing in the middle of a drowned forest, probably quite far away from my bastion, which I didn't know the location of, because my brain was still nerfed from that Qliphoth Object encounter.

The thick, wet smell of the night air filled my lungs as I looked around, trees half-submerged in the swampy seawater. The spiraling moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the landscape.

I glanced at my reflection in the water—well, I tried to. But all I could see was a vague outline. My new form still felt weird, bigger, and more voluptuous? I hadn't exactly figured out everything had changed, and that fact had been bugging me the entire fight.

"Kuzunoha's coming… I guess I'll find out soon enough."

Moments later, a ripple in the air signaled Kuzunoha's arrival, alongside a tug on the connection that binds my soul and Kuzunoha's soul together in our merry contract, as if it was used as a coordinate reference to find my whereabouts.

A portal of crackling arcane energy opened nearby, and out she stepped, her usual confident smile plastered on her face. She looked extremely tired despite her usual flare and confident.

Also, she never told me that she could just spawn a bloody portal for movement and transportation!

Unless she could only do it to get to my location. Regardless, she still hid a lot of details about her prowess and whatnot, so I shouldn't be really complaining.

But the moment her eyes fell on me, her smile froze. Her jaw dropped slightly, and she blinked rapidly, as if trying to process what she was seeing.

"Oh… oh my," she whispered, taking a step back. "Narcissus, is that you?!"

I frowned, finally curious about my own body. "What? What's wrong?"

Kuzunoha looked me up and down, her eyes wide. "You… You're huge! And… oh dear, your hair! Your face!" She paused, speechless, before finally blurting, "This phenomenon should only exist in hypothesis, but who would expect that it practically unfolded in front of me, in that garish realm no less!"

I blinked, still confused. "What are you talking about?"

She rushed over, grabbing a lock of my now absurdly long hair. "Inhumanely tall stature of unparalleled strength and beauty, a pair of demonic horns, and this silverish aqua hair!" She stepped back, gesturing wildly to my figure. "This figure befitting of a goddess. There's no mistake, these are the traits of the ancient race Valtherion!"

I stared at her, still not entirely understanding. I checked my biography section of my detail screen and my race was still tagged as 'Unknown'.

"Oh, okay."

Kuzunoha sighed dramatically, covering her face with one hand. "To put it in a way that your dumb-dumb state can understand, your own blood basically healed you to an impossibly high threshold to the point that it just decided to reconstruct the structure of your entire DNA and bloodline, transforming you into that of an actual Valtherion."

I blinked again. "Oh."

Kuzunoha just stared at me for a moment, her mouth slightly agape, before letting out a long sigh. "Well, I guess we'll just have to get used to this." She shook her head, still looking at me. "But honestly, Narcissus, you look like you belong on the cover of some divine warrior calendar or something.

This is also reinforced by your immense psionic charm, and I couldn't help but to feel my eyes being buttered."

She summoned what was essentially a mirror with her arcane power.

Right, I was also currently naked.

So, to summarize the overall change to my physicality, I had grown to around 210 centimeters in terms of height. My shining golden locks had been replaced with silkier, silverish light-aqua hue that reached the ground and two times my current height. It was also unbelievably smooth, that it didn't even get stuck in my surrounding environment.

My physique had also transformed from that of a modest youth to an towering supermodel with divine hourglass stature of massive bosom, wide hips, and thick powerful thighs.

The face had also turned to be more lascivious and mature, in contrast to my former youthful and adorable face, but still as beautiful and perfect to my liking.

My uniquely-shaped scarlet eyes were still there, which reassured me that it was my body that underwent a gradual change instead of me possessing an entirely new one.

I couldn't help but grin. "Well, at least I look like a divine hottie while being confused."

"Should we treat your case of idiocy first before we continue with our business?" Kuzunoha reminded me.

"Yes, we shall."

"Aww, but I like bimbo Narcissus~"

"If you like it so much, why not make yourself one?"

"I prefer my intelligence intact."

After 20 minutes of quick treatment for my lack of brain cells, I was finally able to witness my Consciousness reaching its normal threshold once again.

While on it, Kuzunoha reported everything that happened while I was away.

To summarize, the bastion was no more, but the crew managed to build a makeshift raft from the cabin's roof to exit the flooded area and stabilize.

They encountered a sizable amount of variety of Calamity Object in their way, but thankfully, there weren't any serious casualties amongst the bastioneers.

To put it simply, they were doing fine.

"How is the Drowned Revenant?"

"Acessible only to me, as of the moment. I can set up a meeting if you plan to greet her again in the near future."

"How is my body?"

"Terrific~ You might be the only full-fledged Valtherion alive in Carcosa."

"Can I hypothetically turn back to my 'fairy' form?"

"I currently have access to the history of your physicality. In practicality, I can try reverting your state of bodily vessel to the time right before your body is reconstructed into a Valtherion."

A curve appeared on my lips. "Can you make me be capable of switching the state of my body just like how you did with the 'dimensional organ'?"
