So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 249: Oceanic Phenomena

Exquisite and flawless features, a crystal-clear fishtail—aside from the difference in hair color between the deep-sea mermaid and the ocean envoy Anna’s dark blue hair, from appearance alone, after completing the 【Partial Transfiguration】, Janna was indistinguishable from a real Deep Sea Mermaid.

"Splaaash—"

With a gentle flick of her tail, Janna, now transformed into 【Mermaid Form】, swam effortlessly over a hundred meters in an instant, moving at a speed she normally could never reach.

"As expected of the ocean's favored child."

Just a single use of 【Partial Transfiguration】 allowed Janna to distinctly feel the water elements around her showing a preference for "her."

Although Janna had only simulated the body structure of a Deep Sea Mermaid during her use of 【Partial Transfiguration】, with her magic attribute still being plant-type, due to the influence of the 【Soul Conversion】, the water elements had been successfully “deceived” and naturally submitted to her command.

"Mermaids are favored by the sea because of their tails."

After completing the 【Soul Conversion】 to a Deep Sea Mermaid, Janna could sense that the mermaid's tail, to a certain extent, already possessed the preliminary abilities of a 【Ocean Law Fragment】.

This was precisely the fundamental reason why Deep Sea Mermaids held absolute dominance in marine domains.

"Splaaash—"

With another flick of her tail, and having fully experienced the marvels of the 【Mermaid Form】, Janna swam back to the side of the ocean envoy Anna.

"Though the 【Mermaid Form】 gained through 【Partial Transfiguration】 grants me a body identical to that of a Deep Sea Mermaid during the transformation, the difference in magical attributes cannot be eliminated."

In essence, Janna was still the same witch with the talent of 【Plant Affinity】. She had only changed her body and reshaped her soul into the form of a mermaid's soul.

Yet, the fundamental difference in attribute remained unaltered by 【Partial Transfiguration】.

"But this also has an advantage. After completing the 【Soul Conversion】 in advance, the effect of my current 【Partial Transfiguration】 is nearly on par with a standard 【Beginner Transfiguration】———"

【Partial Transfiguration】 focused on the use of the 【Power of the Mind】, allowing the caster to simulate transformations on specific body parts.

In contrast, 【Beginner Transfiguration】 was considered the threshold of accessing 【Soul Conversion】, allowing the caster to temporarily complete a "full transformation" through the advantage of a matching attribute.

In Janna's current situation, it was no longer a rudimentary application of 【Soul Conversion】—she had fully completed the conversion to a Deep Sea Mermaid's soul.

This allowed Janna to achieve the effects of 【Beginner Transfiguration】 while using 【Partial Transfiguration】.

"Whoosh—"

After storing the still-slumbering Deep Sea Mermaid into a brand new crystal sphere, Janna stared pensively at her lower body's fishtail.

"By my will, I command you—summon, Lightning Accumulation Cloud."

Crackling sparks—

Amidst a dazzling flash of lightning, the cloud-formed Lightning Accumulation Cloud appeared within the Contract Law Circle.

"Thor, stand guard by my side. If anything seems off with me, interrupt immediately."

After conveying her instructions to the Lightning Accumulation Cloud through telepathic communication and putting away the crystal sphere, Janna returned to her human form.

"Transformation, limitless—"

As the twenty-seven 【Occult】 soul-domain incantations of the 【Beginner Transfiguration Spell】 were chanted from Janna's lips and her gestures were cast in sync, the transformation began immediately.

Just like when she initially used 【Partial Transfiguration】, Janna’s lower body rapidly transformed into a water-blue fishtail.

"Splaaash—"

Magical energy surged, particles shifted. As Janna simultaneously completed the 【Soul Conversion】, her previously black hair, distinct from that of a Deep Sea Mermaid, started turning water-blue from the roots.

At the same time, a massive amount of water-element particles, as if seeing a "relative," began revolving rapidly around Janna, creating a vacuum-like state around her in the surrounding sea.

"This is just absurd…"

Seeing the marine anomaly form around her, Janna's eyes showed a flash of astonishment.

Just moments ago, she had released the Deep Sea Mermaid herself from the crystal sphere, yet no such dramatic phenomena had appeared then.

"Hoo…"

Exhaling softly and confirming that the anomaly posed no harm to her, Janna turned her attention to the magical energy consumption following this transformation.

"At this rate of magical consumption, it should last about three more minutes…"

Janna had originally thought maintaining the 【Mermaid Form】 would consume at least twice as much magic as maintaining the 【Ghastly-Faced Tree Fairy Form】.

However, her experiment showed that in this highly water-elemental sea environment, the duration of her 【Mermaid Form】 remained equal to that of the 【Ghastly-Faced Tree Fairy Form】.

"Moreover, after the 【Soul Conversion】, the effect of casting 【Beginner Transfiguration】 has nearly reached the level of a true 【Full Transfiguration】———"

Splaaash—

Just as Janna was about to further explore the abilities of her 【Mermaid Form】, she suddenly noticed that the aquatic anomalies centered around her were not subsiding—instead, they were growing more intense.

"What is going on?"

Whirlpools formed, waves surged.

At this moment, the entire 【Water Elemental Plane】 was like a pot of boiling water, spawning countless oceanic anomalies.

Yet these phenomena appeared to be separated from Janna by an invisible barrier, continuously swirling around her without showing any "disrespect."

It was as if Janna had become the absolute master of the 【Water Elemental Plane】, capable of issuing commands to this world—

"No! Something's not right!"

After a brief observation, Janna realized that this 【Water Elemental Plane】—a world without even a 【Plane Will】—

Was truly showing intent to recognize her as its "master."

"Get out of here!"

Sensing danger, Janna immediately dispelled the power of the contract and sent the Lightning Accumulation Cloud back to the spiritual realm. Check latest chapters at novel✦fire.net

"Splaaash—"

As the surrounding oceanic phenomena became more and more extreme, Janna shut her eyes and forcibly ended the 【Spirit Traverse】 talent.

"Vmm—" Accompanied by a powerful sense of weightlessness, as she reopened her eyes, Janna had returned to the material world.

"Good thing I ran in time. Otherwise, with a single misstep, I would have been forcibly 'kidnapped' into becoming the 【Plane Will】 of the 【Water Elemental Plane】..."

A world without a 【Plane Will】 operates with flawed and chaotic laws.

Because of this, once a lifeform emerges within that plane who fits the criteria of a 【Plane Will】, the entire plane’s incomplete laws will instinctively revolve around that being.

Just like earlier, Janna’s simulation of a Deep Sea Mermaid was enough for the 【Plane World】 to misidentify her as a newly born native lifeform of that plane.
