The warden who guards the witches.

Flesh Transformation

In the warden's office, Aiden stood pensively in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror, gazing at his uniformed self in the mirror.

　　In the next moment, his face suddenly changed shape strangely like a ball of kneaded playdough, and when it finally reshaped itself, his features had changed shape.

　　The face was similar to the original but even more elegant, his hair grew quickly and became shoulder-length short hair, and his body became slender and curvy.

　　The self in the mirror was clearly a woman from the outside.

　　"I see, gradually understanding it." Looking at himself in the mirror, Aiden thought in his heart.

　　This was the shapeshifting ability that Ivantha had exchanged for with the Demon Contract.

　　In the end, he still couldn't find a candidate who was willing to accept Avantha's ability, and in the end, he could only accept this ability himself.

　　Although it may seem like a bit of a sham to the onlookers, Aiden at least felt that he had a clear conscience.

　　From the movement of the Heretic Judgement Bureau in approving this proposal, it seemed that extracting this ability from Ivantha would indeed greatly reduce the Inquisition and the Heretic Judgement Bureau's rating of her level of danger, and would be conducive to her future release from prison.

　　After all, even in prison, the existence of Ivantha as the "Filthy Blood God of Death" was still a huge danger.

　　Not only was Merukino, who had orchestrated the riot, but there might also be other yakuza forces who wanted to take advantage of her talent as a killer.

　　Being able to weaken Ivantha in this peaceful way and reduce her danger was something that the other law enforcement agencies were also happy to see.

　　After obtaining this ability from Ivantha, Aiden also did some simple tests - although he had already obtained some information from Meru Kino and Ivantha herself beforehand, it was true that practice would be the best for true knowledge.

　　From what he had grasped so far, it seemed that this so-called shape-shifting ability was actually not focused on disguise, but rather physical transformation.

　　He can't actually use this ability to finely transform into a specified person, he can only use his original body as the basis to change his physique, height, weight, thinness, and age of appearance, and the most out of the ordinary change is just transforming his gender.

　　He can make himself without exercise directly become a full of muscle, can also become a fat fat or ribs clearly visible thin ribs; can make himself back to the young age, can also quickly let the body aging, become a senile old man ...... then, can also be like now, change a female version of himself.

　　When the body type changes, the face and features will also be adapted to the body type to a certain degree of adjustment, this degree of "face change" for those who do not know in advance that he has this ability, is able to achieve a considerable degree of camouflage effect. For example, if he turns into an old woman or a child outside the enemy's field of vision when he is being pursued, it is unlikely that ordinary people will recognise him.

　　But on the contrary, if the opponent knew the information about his ability beforehand and had a good eye for recognising looks, it wouldn't be difficult to recognise the physically transformed him.

　　In the past, Ivantha had always worn a mask when committing murders as an assassin, and just altering his body shape was enough to cause quite a serious disruption in detection and pursuit.

　　However, the most convenient part of this flesh modification ability was actually not in the disguise, but in the flexible adjustment of one's own flesh.

　　Firstly, this ability could be used for emergency treatment of some simple physical trauma.

　　For example, for knife wounds and bullet penetration wounds that hit the vitals, he could use his flesh modification to temporarily seal and stop the bleeding of the wounds. There are also fractures and dislocations in uncomplicated situations that can be reset and temporarily fixed to a certain extent.

　　Of course this is fundamentally different from self-healing, traumas treated by the flesh transformation emergency will still remain, and if not healed in time, once the ability is removed, the damage will return to its original state.

　　Then, changing the body can also adjust the state of the body to a certain extent, for example, if you become a tall and strong man, you will enter a kind of "tank mode", the strength of the body and muscle power can also be improved to a certain extent, but the senses and reaction speed will become a bit slow.

　　And become a child and thin people will enter the opposite "scout mode", although the strength becomes smaller, eyesight, hearing and reaction speed will be improved.

　　If you become an old man,......, although the physical ability will decline, but the mental state will be more stable, in the panic or by the mental interference into this state can quickly calm down.

　　As for changing gender, you can quickly break the charm state.

　　Of course, this skill also has a cooldown time, the longest time a single change can last is about two hours, once this limit is exceeded, it will be like muscle fatigue, the body can't be deformed again in a short period of time, and it needs to rest for quite a long time before it can recover.

　　Overall, it's still a pretty useful skill.

　　If you want to say there are any drawbacks ......

　　"It still hurts enough." Aiden touched his face.

　　The part of the body that changed during the transformation process would have a pinch of pain, and although it wasn't unbearable, it did discourage people from changing for fun when they usually had nothing else to do.

　　It was no wonder that the cost of this ability was the loss of pain, it was kind of more of a package in a way.

　　Aiden looked down and subconsciously rubbed himself.

　　However touching himself was like scratching himself, producing no special sensation.

　　So he lost interest.

　　Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

　　"Come in." Aiden straightened his posture and subconsciously shouted.

　　The female voice exited him before he realised something was wrong - the person he was now had changed his appearance.

　　Veronica, who was standing outside the door and had come to report, was also confused for a moment when she heard the voice, but at the sound of "Come in", her hand moved before she could think, and she pressed down on the door handle out of habit and pushed it in.

　　Then, she and Aiden, who had turned into a woman, looked at each other.

　　After two seconds of staring at each other in silence, Veronica closed the door again.

　　Why was there a woman who looked a bit like the warden standing in the office wearing the warden's uniform?

　　Veronica was torn into deep thought.

　　Although she had learnt that Aiden had gained Evantha's ability, she didn't have any specific information about it, and she hadn't thought in that direction for a while yet, except that she felt countless question marks keep rising to the top of her head.

　　No, it must be that the way she opened the door wasn't quite right, and that's what caused her to accidentally blink ......

　　She sank down, took a deep breath, and then reopened the door.

　　Then she saw Aiden sitting at his desk as usual, working on papers.

　　Aiden stopped the movement in his hand and slowly raised his face, looking over as if nothing had happened, "It's Veronica, what's up?"

　　His face was calm and his eyes were open, as if nothing had happened just now.

　　Veronica raised her hand in a stupefied salute, "There ...... is a prisoner fight over in the canteen, come over to report to you."
