Chapter 192: What's This? A Gugugugugu Chicken?
Chapter 192: What's This? A Gugugugugu Chicken?
The day passed in a flash. When the full moon hung high in the sky, Ivan, under the cover of invisibility, climbed to the high platform. He reviewed the steps recorded in his practice notes and took out the Mandrake leaf he had been holding in his mouth for a month.
He then took out a Crystal Vial and added the various complex ingredients he had prepared in advance.
Under the moonlight, the slightly murky Potion faintly glowed with a crystalline light. Ivan could clearly feel that, under the influence of the celestial phenomena, the Potion before him seemed to undergo some subtle changes.
"Next, I hope the storm created by the Room of Requirement is really effective."
Ivan muttered to himself, then put away the Potion and made his way through the secret passage from the rooftop to the location of the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, entering the forest that had been conjured up.
Ivan waved his wand, transforming a dead branch on the ground into a spade. He then began the task of digging a hole, eventually placing the Potion in the hole and burying it.
After completing all the preparations, Ivan set the time for the storm to occur and adjusted its intensity to the maximum before exiting the Room of Requirement.
By the third evening, when Ivan entered again, the Room of Requirement was already howling with a fierce storm. The cold, sharp wind made it difficult for Ivan to keep his eyes open.
A bolt of lightning split the sky, followed by a torrent of rain. Ivan quickly ran to the burial site.
To avoid damaging the Crystal Vial with the spade, Ivan had to use his hands to dig, clearing away the mud.
Despite the cold rain drenching his body, Ivan paid no attention, only wiping his eyes with his wet sleeve when the rain trickled down his forehead.
Fortunately, the Potion had not been buried too deep. After about ten minutes of digging, Ivan finally saw the Potion he had placed.
After a few days of settling and the influence of the celestial phenomena, the once murky Potion had completely turned blood red, with visible magical fluorescence shimmering in the light.
As soon as he retrieved it, Ivan could feel the magic beginning to dissipate. Realizing this, he quickly left to adjust the state of the Room of Requirement, stopping the storm.
When he entered again, everything had returned to its initial state. The surroundings were still dim, and the sky had reverted to a grayish hue, with only the wet ground proving that a storm had just occurred.
"Reparo!" Ivan pointed his wand at his robes, and the rainwater seemed to come to life, sliding off the fabric.
Magic, he thought, could be incredibly convenient at times.
Ivan paused, then cast a Flame Charm, spending a bit of time drying himself off.
He didn't mind the wasted time.
Although the effect of the Animagus Potion would slightly weaken over time, maintaining his physical and mental state was more important.
This was the moment of truth!
Ivan took a deep breath, placed his wand against his chest, and slowly recited the incantation.
"Amado, Animus, Animado"
The strange intonation echoed through the forest, with faint reverberations heard from a distance.
Soon, a wave of inexplicable fear surged in Ivan's heart, and his body began to heat up, as if on fire.
Ivan suppressed the discomfort, glanced at the blood-red Potion in his hand, and, after spending a hundred House Points to activate the experience card mode, drank it without hesitation.
In the most secure scenario, it would be best to spend five Legendary Points to exchange for the protection mode, ensuring absolute safety.
Unfortunately, obtaining Legendary Points is extremely difficult. So far, Ivan has only managed to acquire the three Legendary Points from last semester. Therefore, he can only choose a slightly riskier method.
The blood-red Potion was poured into his mouth, its consistency thick like yogurt, with a peculiar taste and an astonishingly high temperature.
Ivan furrowed his brow. As the Potion entered his body, the temperature began to rise more and more rapidly.
In places he couldn't see, the blood flowing through his veins began to emit magical light, as if some force within had been activated, but it quickly subsided again.
Before Ivan could think more about it, the magical transformation began in the next moment. Vaguely, a blurry image appeared in Ivan's mind.
It's not a Unicorn, is it?
Ivan only had time to make this judgment before the heavy pressure from his body interrupted his thoughts.
In the trial card mode, Ivan could clearly feel the magic beginning to flow automatically throughout his body.
Just like when he analyzed animals before, as the magic surged in, Ivan "saw" every muscle fiber and even the cellular structure within his body.
Ivan suddenly understood that if he wanted to transform back later, he would need to remember what his body looked like.
Ivan tried hard to remember everything he saw, but he didn't realize that after the magic analyzed his entire body, it had already passively recorded his state, eliminating the need for conscious memory.
Once every cell in his body was filled with magic, Ivan suddenly felt his body begin to twist and deform.
Bones began to misalign, and the nearby tree seemed to grow taller and taller. Under the influence of magic, Ivan didn't feel much pain, only a sense of fear and confusion about the unknown.
Soon, something seemed to extend out through his pores, and the magic that had been flowing throughout his body slowly concentrated in his brain, protecting his thoughts from being halted due to the reduced brain capacity.
The first transformation lasted a long time. When Ivan realized everything had stabilized, he tried to control his body.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck?" Ivan tried to say something, but only strange sounds came out, giving him a bad feeling.
"Ugh, what have I turned into? A Gugugugugu Chicken?" Ivan "clucked" for a while before he found a way to produce normal sounds by focusing the magic in his throat.
Ivan raised his hand in front of his eyes and saw a bunch of grayish-white feathers. It seemed he had turned into some kind of bird.
This made Ivan somewhat disappointed. It didn't look like any magical creature. He had always thought he would turn into a Unicorn, Thunderbird, or Phoenix.
Ivan flapped his wings and flew unsteadily towards a nearby puddle to see what he had turned into.
When he reached the edge of the puddle and looked at his reflection in the water, Ivan nearly fell in.
