96. Transform!

Izumi was so strong, much stronger than Hiiro thought. Izumi should have come to this world a long time ago if he was that strong. But, why didn't know his own status?

"How can you be this strong if you didn't even know your status?"

"Didn't I tell you? I just arrived in this world!"

"Unbelievable."

"But, I'm believable."

"…"

Hiiro almost couldn't believe what Izumi said. Izumi already knew that Hiiro was Japanese. So, Hiiro didn't need to hide anymore.

Hiiro decided to tell him.

"Just recite 'Status' in your mind!"

Then Izumi recited 'Status' in his mind. Something like holographic data suddenly appeared in front of him.

Title: (Initializing)

Izumi was quite surprised by his status. He already had monstrous stats even though his level was still a digit.

ATK, DEF, and AGI are attack, defense, and agility respectively. HIT is additional damage dealt by a critical hit, while INT is additional damage from the magical attack.

Though, his INT was useless since he didn't have attack magic.

"I'm level one," Izumi stated.

Hiiro was stunned, he felt Izumi was joking.

"That's impossible." Hiiro carried on. "Lemme take a look!"

"Sure."

Hiiro used his Word Magic to take a peek at Izumi's status.

"Fuck! What the hell with those stats! That's cheating!" Hiiro couldn't accept after seeing Izumi's stats. It was ridiculously high for someone at level 1. Normally, people only have two-digit in their first level. Compared to him:

That's 10 times the difference.

"If you want to report I'm cheating, go ahead! The dev gave me these stats anyway." Izumi said while shrugging his shoulders.

"I can't find a report icon."

Arnold approached two of them along with Muir after they bought something from a nearby town. Arnold asked both Izumi and Hiiro who seemed to argue about something.

"What happened?" Arnold asked.

Hiiro pointed his index finger upward.

"The sky was biased."

Arnold and Muir didn't understand at all as they looked into the sky.

After a moment, Arnold looked at Hiiro confusingly. It wasn't clear why Hiiro pointed upward. Hiiro, who understood that Arnold had a question on his face, immediately explained.

"This guy's stats were absurd! He is still level one. But his stats are ten times my stats." Hiiro pointed at Izumi annoyingly.

"You can't say that heaven is biased. Isn't your magic also outrageous?" Izumi pointed back at Hiiro, his magic also ridiculously cheating.

"But, my magic has limitations."

"Hey calm down both of you!" Arnold intervened with their bickering.

Izumi just put a smile on his face in response, while Hiiro clicked his tongue.

When silence accompanied them, Arnold suddenly broke it.

"By the way, it's late for me to ask. Where will you go? You're an adventurer, aren't you? Are you on a quest?"

"I'm gonna follow you!" Hiiro said while pointing his finger at Arnold.

"But we are going to Pasion, the capital city of the Gabranth continent."

"So?"

"Hey, it's not good, you know. It will be bad if any Gabranth spots humans over there."

"Don't worry, I will take them down."

"As if it would be easy!!"

Izumi chuckled after hearing their conversation. Then he said,

"Since Otamegane wanted to go to Pasion, then we will part soon. I'm going to the Evila continent after all."

"Hey, you're crazier than this brat!" Arnold exclaimed at Izumi while pointing toward Hiiro.

"Anyway, I need your help, Otamegane."

After Izumi said that, he took out some novels. Then said, "These are the novels I wrote, this one has 3 volumes, while the other is one. I haven't published the next volume yet, so you still need to wait! However, I can tell you the spoilers."

Hiiro likes books, so Izumi was sure he would agree.

"What help do you need?"

"Wait, lemme change for a moment!"

Izumi immediately took off his clothes. Arnold, who saw Izumi suddenly take off his clothes, immediately closed Muir's eyes while cursing Izumi in his heart.

Izumi took out the kimono from the storage space. After finished changing, his demeanor seemed to change. That kimono is white with an autumn-maple leaves pattern around the hips and sleeves while the end of the sleeves is decorated with a blue line pattern. The kimono is tied with the blue obi on his waist. It fits Izumi perfectly.

After that, Izumi showed the picture from his phone. It was Ibaraki Douji's picture with long red horns protruding from his head, with the right horn seeming only half-length left. Has white eyebrows, pointed ears, and long white hair up to the waist, it's kinda like Super Saiyan 3 with white hair. Then red hands with sharp fingernails. The eyes are also similar to a snake's eyes.

"What is this, you're gonna attend a cosplay festival or something?"

Izumi just rolled his eyes at Hiiro's question.

"Can you do it or not?"

"Ez."

Hiiro wrote the character "Transform" in kanji, and the word flew toward Izumi. Izumi's body was shining brightly before his body transformed.

His height and clothes didn't change, only his appearance was different. Izumi gave off the vibes of a true cosplayer if he shows his current appearance at a festival or in online media.

"What anime character do you imitate?" Hiiro had never seen an anime character like Izumi's appearance. That's why he wondered.

"No, it's from a game. It's based on Ibaraki Douji from Japanese folklore, don't you know?"

"Isn't he an Oni? How can he look so stunning?"

"Ask the one who made the game, not me!"

Izumi shrugged his shoulders. Well of course any characters in games are made to be stunning. That was the point of the games after all.

Meanwhile, Arnold and Muir didn't understand what they had been talking about. Though Arnold was surprised Hiiro's magic could even transform a people.

As they get closer to the border, they also meet a little girl named Wii, a tanned girl with golden hair, who seems to be looking for her father. With Muir's invitation, they began to travel together.

They walked through a path that not many people took, but many monsters that were useful for leveling up. So no one would see Izumi's Oni appearance. Well, even if people were passing by, Izumi could feel their presence beforehand, then disappear from their sight to avoid trouble.

At a certain distance before the border, Hiiro, Wii, and Arnold try hard to level up by killing the swarm of monsters. Izumi stood to the side observing them, then he felt someone's presence about 100 meters from his distance.

He looked in a certain direction but saw nothing, then he curled his lips upward. He activated his magic and disappeared from his spot.

On another side.

"What a surprise, he could even sense me. I should go. But, that appearance. He looks like Evila, but how did he appear in Humas continent?"

A man with wavy blue hair murmured. And just as he was about to flee…

"Where are you running?"

That man stiffened, he heard someone behind him and asked in a cold voice. He frantically drew something in his book using his brush, but…

Izumi activated his eye to negate that man's magic. The man became even more panicked knowing his magic wasn't working at all.

"It's useless. I already negate your magic structure. So, no matter how much you try, you won't be able to activate your unique magic."

Izumi appeared behind him after teleporting. With his spatial magic covering an area of ​​1 km, teleporting at a distance of 100 meters just now wasn't a difficult thing to do.
