The act of casting magic on oneself required an unexpected amount of courage, especially if one doesn’t know the source of that power. However, if I thought about it carefully, transfer magic moves me to an entirely different location. It should be the same as submitting myself to magic, because if something went wrong, it wouldn’t be that strange to end up “trapped within a stone”.
I should at least give it a try.
I place my right hand over the left one and target the spell on my left index finger.
“【Anti-Curse】”
When I calmly invoked the spell, a magic formation appeared beneath my palm before releasing lights that were absorbed into my targeted finger. The bone of my finger took the form of human’s above the first joint.
“Oooh! …… oh?”
The results were contrary to what I expected, causing me to let out a surprised yelp; however, it lasted only for a moment before it changed to a questioning one.
My left index finger, only retained its human appearance for several second before it disappeared. With my skeleton hand raised under the moonlight, it was as if what happened before was merely a dream.
Trying to expand the range of the spell, I cast 【Anti-curse】on my left forearm. When the light was absorbed, a flesh and blood forearm appeared.
The arm that was once bone was right before my eyes; the forearm was rather muscular and a shade of brown. Though, it was possible that it was just a tan since the moonlight was rather unreliable. Was the fact that this body was more muscular than my original body a result of my level?
“?!”
There was a strange feeling of discomfort when I faintly brushed the arm, and before long the flesh dissipated again; returning to its bone-like state.
I grasped my skeletal left arm repeatedly to check its condition, but the strange feeling was already gone.
After that, I cast 【Anti-curse】on my left arm several times, but each time the flesh would return back to its skeletal form. Every time the flesh and blood arm returned, so to did the discomfort, but that feeling disappeared again once it reverted back to its bone form.
The time I spent experimenting gave me an understanding that this body can be affected to a certain extent by the spell. However, the effect was only temporary, as if the curse was persistent or something?
I laid my body down on the bed.
I wouldn’t find any answers even if I thought about it with my literally empty head. It best to take a rest when all you have are bad ideas, and hope things get better.
To prevent another invasion from Ponta, I wrapped the blanket around my body. I probably looked like a mummy from the side, was the last thing I thought as I shut my eyes.
