Chapter 231: chapter 231- Attention From Great Powers
Creating a skill for Lembuswana will be a bit tricky. It is similar to the "Body Transformation" Skill that Taufik created for Nāgāntaka but also different at the same time.
In Taufik's mind, he had to imagine and simulate how Lembuswana would change from his current doll body to his real body.
'... Hmm ~ It looks a bit too bland. Should I add a special effect in the middle when he's about to transform? Hm ~ his doll body will emit a lot of black smoke that will soar high into the sky; in this form, he will be immune to attacks; once the black smoke is enough, it will immediately take the form of Lembu's real body with a very dazzling light... Oh ~ That's pretty good...
should I add a move when he's about to transform? Ahh ~ Something like "Henshin" would be very cute for Lembu... Alright~ That's it, that's already very good~ Ahaha~ It will be so funny~ '
Said Taufik who had finished setting the effect of Lembuswana's transformation skill.
'... The Name of this skill, hmm~ "Henshin," Will be good... '
Said Taufik, who then simulated the skill from start to finish, and the results were enough to satisfy Taufik, so, with the skill in his mind, Taufik activated his Imagination Magic.
'... Imagination Magic- Created Skill: Henshin!'
With that, Taufik's Mana was drained again, but unlike before, this time, it was drained quite a lot.
'... Huh? It's quite a lot compared to before, is it possible because of the "Immune" trait? That's also good because it means the skill was successfully created... '
Taufik thought, then opened his eyes and looked at Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka.
"... Nāgāntaka your first, Come closer"
"Yes, Master"
With that, Nāgāntaka immediately approached Taufik, with his head lowered, Taufik put his hand on Nāgāntaka's head.
"You ready?"
"Yes, Master"
"Alright, tell me if something feels strange ok?"
Said Taufik, who then closed his eyes again and reactivated his Imagination Magic.
'... Imagination Magic- Transfer (Skill): Body Transformation!'
After that, Taufik felt like he had lost something, and Nāgāntaka on the other hand, felt that he had received something, complete with how to use it and what would happen if he used it.
"How is it, Nāgāntaka?"
"... It's a little bit Strange feeling, It's like getting a new limb, I don't know"
"Can you use it?"
"... Oddly enough, I feel like I can, it's like I've done it a few times"
"Try it, try to make your body in size of a normal bird"
"Yes, Master"
With Taufik's command, Nāgāntaka closed his eyes; even though he felt that he had used it several times, this was still the first time he had used the skill, so he needed a little preparation.
"...Body Transformation, Activate!"
"..."
"..."
Hearing what Nāgāntaka said, Taufik and Lembuswana looked at each other.

"... Should he say that out loud?"
"Not for him"
"I see... Wait! What?"
"... Look! His skill is already active"
Said Taufik, pointing to Nāgāntaka whose body was shrinking at a speed visible to the eye.
"Don't change the subject, Kid, I know you must have done something, Answer me!"
"... How is it, Nāgāntaka? Any weird feeling you feel?"
"... Nothing particular, Master, it feels normal, It's just a change of perspective that might take a little getting used to, other than that everything seems normal"
Answered Nāgāntaka who was currently only the size of an ordinary eagle.
"It's so, then, stays at that size for a while"
"I'll do that, Master, Thank you for giving me this skill, I'll use it wisely, Master"
"... Alright, now is your turn, Lembu, come here"
Said Taufik, calling Lembuswana who currently looked "a little" angry about something.
"... You must have done something to that transformation skill, right? I won't do it before you tell me what it is"
"Well ~ Is up to you; I won't force you either; you're just going to stay in that form forever, so are you willing to accept it or not?"
"..."
"So~ Yes or No?"
"... You don't do something weird, are you?"
Asked Lembuswana, still harboring suspicions about Taufik, but he also did not want to refuse Taufik's offer.
"What possible I can do? Your body will look exactly like what you remember, I didn't change anything"
"... You sure?"
"Of course"
"..."
"..."
Taufik and Lembuswana stared at each other for a moment, before finally Lembuswana sighed.
"... Alright, I'll accept it, I will trust our relationship so far if you will not do anything with my body, and I hope you will not break that trust"
"I swear, I didn't do anything to your body, believe me"
Taufik said that it was true that he had not done anything with Lembuswana's body; however, his original body, which was rather unsightly, had its own advantages in battle, and as much as possible, Taufik wanted to keep it that way.
"... Alright, then give me that skill"
Said Lembuswana who then approached Taufik.
"Sure~ sure~"
Said Taufik with a thin smile on his face while holding Lembuswana's head.
*Grip!*
"Huh? Eh! Wait!!"
Said Lembuswana, who felt that Taufik's grip was a little too tight, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"... That's right, I didn't do anything weird to your body, but I did add a little something, so take this!"
Taufik said with a faint smile still visible on his face. Seeing this Lembuswana's uneasy feeling grew even more.
"Y-you, No! Unhand me, Kid!"
"Opps~ Is already too late~"
'Imagination Magic- Transfer (Skill): Henshin!'
Just like before, Taufik felt something was missing from him, and just like what happened with Nāgāntaka, Lembuswana also felt like he had gained something, how to use it, and what would happen if he used it.
There is nothing wrong with the "Result" of the skill, but the way it is used makes Lembuswana feel like slapping Taufik right now.
"You satisfied with the skill, right?"
"Y-you, how can you do this to me? Why do you always make fun of me?"
"What do you mean? Who's making fun of you?"
"Then... WHY DO I HAVE TO SHOUT WHEN I WANT TO CHANGE FORM? AND WHY "HENSHIN" OUT OF MILLIONS OF WORDS AND HUNDREDS OF LANGUAGES? WHY?... And what with that flashy light? I'm not some Magical girl or something...
What should I do, now? I can already hear Basukhi laugh at me... Ahh~ F*ck, I shouldn't trust you in the first place, F*ck!"
Lembuswana said angrily, which only made Taufik look even happier with how his smile looked wider.
"Now~ Now~ Don't be so angry like that; how about you try that skill? Should we change places?"
"Huh? Like hell I will do that, If I can I will baned that skill forever"
"Pfft~ but you can't~... Alright, it's good for now, you probably use that skill soon or later, I know you will do that"
Taufik said, then he felt someone approaching them, and it was Gaia, but her expression was slightly different from before.
"Honey, there's something I need to tell you"
"Hm? What is it?"
"... The envoy I sent to another kingdom is already back, but..."
Said Gaia, who seemed a little hesitant to finish her words
"But?..."
"There's a problem... "
Hearing the word "Problem" from Gaia's mouth, Taufik immediately understood where this conversation was going.
"Oh no, Did what I said earlier really happen?"
Said Taufik, which was then agreed to by Gaia by nodding her head.
"Ahh~ F*ck, I know this will happen sooner or later, but not this fast... So where's the Envoy? Are they okay?"
"His condition is not good, so he is being treated by several healers at the moment, do you want to go see him?"
"Take me there, we need to ask him to understand this situation better"
"Alright, then follow me"
With that, Gaia led Taufik to the place where the envoy was being cared for, with Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka each perched on Taufik's shoulders.

- Konstantinopel, Throne Room.
In a magnificent throne room befitting the strongest power in Europe and the eastern Mediterranean at that time, sat an emperor, he was Basileios I Makedonia who had risen to the emperor position after killing the previous emperor Michael III, it had been three years since he had served as an emperor, someone who was born ordinary to become an emperor.
At this time, Basileios I Makedonia was in talks with Leo VI, who had just been appointed co-emperor this year (870).
"... What about the envoys from the nameless Kingdom?"
Asked Basileios I Makedonia to Leo Vl.
"Currently they have been locked up, I have ordered the soldiers to "ask" them to tell me the location of their Kingdom, Your Majesty the Emperor"
"... I heard one of them has managed to escape. Is that true?"
" Yes, Your Majesty, It was negligence on our part, Please grant your forgiveness, your highness"
Said Leo Vl, Who then continued to say.
"But Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this? Those people had strange things with them, even the one who escaped managed to escape because of those things"
"... Leo, Did you see the ship they used to get here? What do you think about that ship?"
"It's Simply Amazing, Your Majesty, I never see something like that"
"You're right, neither you nor me ever seen something like that; now, Imagine if something like that is in our possession? What do you think will happen?"
"..."
"Not just the nearby Kingdoms, We could even rule the whole world, so far, magic alone is not enough to do that, but imagine if we have ships and other goods from the Kingdom, no one will be able to stop us"
"Truly Magnificat, I'm ashamed of my Short Insight, Your Majesty"
"... Keep Extract information from the envoys. If the normal method doesn't work, use another method. If you have the information, immediately send our ship to the location of the Kingdom"
"As your order, Your Majesty"
After saying this, Leo Vl died Basileios I Makedonia alone in the throne room, with all these thoughts in his mind at the moment.
"... No matter what, I will get it"
