Sera grated her teeth. She's confidant that she can turn Nat back into a cloud girl, but if she doesn't get rid of the magic controlling her first, then changing her back would be pointless.
She got do something about those puppet strings first. Sera prepared a few air slash spells.
But then the had a thought. Why risk missing the strings when she could just take out the puppeteer?
Sera decided to stop preparing her wind spells, and instead, start preparing the Origin spell. The origin spell is as the name implies. The spell transforms the target back to it's original form. You would think that an spell like that would be useful in an world were it's easy to transform from the corruption. But there is one problem. The origin spell doesn't effect any of the corruption, spells and curses currently inflicting the target. The origin spell can turn Cradle back into his original form, but the corruption in his body will eventually turn him back into a snake dragon. But at least, that will temporary prevent him from holding the puppet strings.
So Sera did just that. She spoke the magic words and casted the origin spell on Cradle.
Cradle felt his body grow smaller.
"What did you do?!" Cradle demanded.
Cradle returned to his original form. But instead of being human, Cradle turned into a incubus boy with small horns on his head.
Thanks to his smaller body, the puppet strings fell all over the place.
The boy was wrapped up in puppets strings. He picked up the magic needle and held it up like an sword. "What did you do to me?!" Cradle the incubus boy demanded.The corruption within him already seems to be taking hold again. His demon eyes already transformed back into dragon snake eyes.
It seems that even demon kids could be adventurers...
