After I absorbed Furoh's Curse, the curse appeared like a sphere of darkness with a single red eye floating in my soul scape. There were hundreds of golden chains chaining his entire body and tightly letting him sit there like a sitting duck, he was completely hopeless. These chains were part of the System's modification over his own body. Perhaps if he eventually turns into a Spirit, which would be something I would like maybe, in the future, he could change and free himself.
But for now, he's too evil to leave him be. And well, it took me years to convince Beelzebub to join me, so I doubt this will be any different to be honest. For now, however, I want to quickly go see Furoh. He should be recovering now that his curse was dispelled.
I quickly opened my eyes, finding Furoh nowhere to be seen…
"Furoh? Where are you?"
"Woof! Woof!"
Suddenly, I heard the bark of a small wolf?
When I looked behind me, I found a beautiful white wolf, with fluff hair and shiny golden eyes. It looked utterly majestic! Like a small little version of the Fenrir we saw today!
"Uwahh… Where did you even came from, little guy?"
I couldn't help but pet his head as he wiggled his tail.
"It is me, Sylphy!" He suddenly spoke with a voice I recognized.
"Eh? That voice…?!"
FLASH!
Suddenly, the wolf grew larger, almost as big as the Fenrir we saw, it was even more beautiful and majestic than before!
"E-Eeehh!? W-What is happening?!" I asked in shock.
"Hahaha! I've taken into this form because it is one of the forms you're quite fond of, right?" He asked, it was the voice of Furoh!
"Furoh… you can shapeshift so amazingly now?!" I wondered.
"Indeed… It is all thanks to you Sylphy! I am really in debt with you! After you took away the curse, I was suddenly able to shapeshift how I was supposed to since the beginning of my life… Plus the skills boosted this even more!"
FLASH!
Furoh suddenly changed shapes once more, turning into the two-headed Blazing Wolf from before, as flames emerged over his body… they were also genuine! Was he able to imitate the powers of what he took the shape of?
"A-Amazing… how many transformations can you make?" I wondered.
"After I transform, I can keep on that form indefinitely, but it costs Mana to transform once more into more complex forms… I guess this is my limit for now! B-But I am sure I can turn into more things if I recover more Mana…" He said.
"Mana you say? Well, I've got you tons of it!" I said while giggling.
FLASH!
I infused Mana into Furoh, as he suddenly began to feel renovated.
"Oooh! W-With this…!"
FLASH!
FLASH!
FLASH!
FLASH!
Furoh suddenly began changing into many shapes, he seemed completely happy while doing so, as if his entire purpose in life was somehow… changing into the shape of others. I suppose he's not a Mimic Demon for nothing.
He took the form of Pyuku and even gained slight slime-like properties, then into the shadow wolf on its final form with an armor of darkness over his body, and then into the giant demon tentacle, although it wasn't even half as strong, and then even into my mother and my father?!
"Look, I can even become Aquarina!" He said, suddenly turning into a perfect copy of Aquarina!
"W-Whaaat?! Woah, t-this is a bit weird now!" I sighed.
"And also into you, master!" Furoh said once more, suddenly turning into a perfect replica of myself.
It was like looking at my reflection on a mirror.
"Woah…"
"For now, however, human-like shapes are too complex, and it is very hard to compact my entire body size and mass, so bigger monster-like forms are easier to be. I cannot maintain the others indefinitely due to the pressure they put on me." He sighed, quickly turning back into a mid-sized Fenrir. "I think I'll stay like this; I like this form too! Wolves are very good at running, and this body is big enough to carry you as well."
"D-Do you really want to stay in this form? I don't want to make you feel forced just because I liked the Fenrir…." I sighed. "If that's why you're changing into this form, then it would be better to choose your own form, Furoh."
"No, Sylphy, this is the form I want for now. I can take other forms depending in our necessities, so fear not. As a Mimic Demon, you don't know how happy it makes me that I can finally take the forms I've always wanted to take…! It is as if my own instincts are finally telling me what I must do as a member of my kin…" Furoh seemed so happy he was almost about to cry.
Damn, was he really that impacted because he couldn't shapeshift correctly? Well… I am happy for him as well. And it will surely be convenient if he can take into other such shapes as easily as well!
"But I want to know something… About the powers you gain and all of that… Can you also copy the powers of what you take the appearance of?" I wondered.
"I think so… to an extent, but it would be better if you saw it for yourself Sylphy. The Skills have descriptions, I believe, maybe if you check them you can gain more insight about them." Furoh said while wiggling his tail. It feels like he always wanted to be a wolf…
"Ah, right… Well, let me see then."
While Ignatius and Naturia were playing over the large and fluffy back of Furoh, I checked his status once more and looked into his Skills.
