CH.254: Blue Witch.

( Yuuki's POV )

Calling the observant mystery, similar to my encounter with Melina, a woman appeared in front of me sitting on a rock in an elegant manner, there was a lot to process just by looking at her.

First, she was a doll but I felt a soul inside her body, she had blue skin and four arms, her right eye was closed and the other was a green color, next to her face was a second spectral face, she was wearing a white dress and a huge hat that only a self-respecting witch would wear.

???: and now who's staring, not that it bothers me.

The mysterious witch commented as she caught me staring at her closely and the corner of her lip lifted slightly.

Yuuki: It's not every day that I meet a woman like you, my name is Yuuki, but I think you already know that, could you honor me with yours?

???: I am the witch Ranni, nice to meet you, traveler Yuuki.

Yuuki: the pleasure is all mine, to what do I owe your attention?

Ranni: A hunch of mine, but it would be correct to say that you do not appreciate being bound by fate and the will of others.

With Ranni's words, images of the gods messing with my life came to my mind.

Yuuki: You don't know how right you are.

Ranni: So we have to talk but this is not the appropriate place.

Ranni extended her left hands towards me, and I instinctively reached out with my right hand, Ranni covered mine with her hands for a moment, and when she pulled her hands back, there was a blue magic seal.

Ranni: Find me when you are ready, I hope our cooperation will be a long one, my kindred soul.

With that, she disappeared in a cloud of magic dust.

After my meeting with Ranni, I spoke to Melina, but our conversation was short, and she only informed me about my next objective.

/////////////////////////

Once we were back, we discussed the results of our explorations while we ate, It really felt like we were on a special camping trip, the brothers Akira and Hikari began to be affected by this world the same way as Sora, their bodies were filled with new power, so they also began to train with Edgar.

We decided on our new destinations, but before leaving again I wanted a personal training session with Lisanna, I wanted to measure what her new transformation could do and check if she could gain Grimm powers, she said she could gain new souls just by touching a creature so I wanted to put that to the test.

Lisanna: What kind of animal is this?

Yuuki: I have no idea, it came from another world just like you, it's some kind of shadow wolf, I think.

Lisanna put her hands on Grimm, and when she felt its soft fur, she threw her whole body on Grimm, and while she was lost in her world, a magic seal appeared behind her, so that was a success, and when she finally separated from Grimm we moved to the training grounds.

Yuuki: Ready when you are.

Lisanna: Take over!

We gathered a crowd with our training but we were not affected by the gazes, Lisanna activated her magic but the transformation was not instantaneous this time, a large amount of power gathered around her and raised a curtain of dust, and then a shockwave was created and she appeared in her new form, but with one look I could tell that this was not the same as her other transformations.

To start, her hair grew quite a bit and turned black, something that doesn't happen in other transformations, the claws she had in her cat form were like gloves but now she had menacing, long, sharp claws, she grew a pair of horns on her head, her eyes turned red and under them she had red marks resembling Grimm's extra eyes, her clothes were gone and her important parts were covered with a cloth that seemed to be made of shadows, One of her legs was covered and the other was uncovered, in short the cute Lisanna had disappeared and I only saw a dangerous fighter with a cold look.

Yuuki: *Clap**Clap**Clap* impressive, are you okay there?

I called Lisanna, who was just looking forward, and the first thing she did was throw a kick that created a blade of shadows to attack me, I raised my sword covered in Glintstone magic to create a wave of magic that collided with his attack.

Yuuki: No, you're not okay, don't tell me you lost control.

Lisanna wasn't responding, and she shot herself at high speed towards me, claws first, I transformed into my dragonewt form and I caught her claws as she flew towards me.

Yuuki: Come on, you have to wake up.

As our hands were locked, I saw Lisanna's empty eyes and knew this needed more direct intervention, I pulled her hands down and pressed my forehead against hers, then I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I was inside my inner world.

*Howl*

Things were the same as always, but behind me was a huge wolf made of shadows, It looked ready to attack, but my inner dragon came out of the water and pushed half of its body under the water with its claws.

Yuuki: Keep it down.

I walked up to the shadow wolf and slowly plunged my hands into it, I reached inside it and when I grabbed something I started pulling, I put all my strength and when I pulled something out I fell on my back and Lisanna who I had pulled out of the wolf's body fell on top of me, her face was so close to mine that our noses were almost touching.

Yuuki: Hey, are you feeling better now?

I asked how she was, but she didn't answer, she just stared at me and blushed hard.
