What witch? The Deadly Pharmacist!

"This is... a werewolf!" Lena looked at Leon in surprise. "Leon, you've turned into a werewolf!"

Werewolves are a common form of monster transformation.

It is said that when a witch grows to a certain stage, she can gain the ability to transform her body into a demonic form, which can transform into a demonic human form with demonic characteristics. The most common forms are beast-like humans, including werewolves, as well as vampires, snake women, mermaids, harpies, and so on. In legends, there are also powerful witches who can transform into dragon-people. Their bodies are half demon and half alluring woman. Such images often appear in folk legends.

It is said that some rare magical potions can temporarily turn ordinary people into monsters, but Lena has never seen one.

But Leon had clearly become a demon on her own, and according to the information she had studied, this was a power that only a select few great witches who had undergone a leap in growth possessed!

And now, Leon has suddenly awakened this power?

No, it wasn't sudden; it's clearly related to the ceremony we just had!

Leon finally recovered slightly from the shock of his own physical changes and turned his gaze to Lena: "Lena..."

He watched as Lena froze, stunned once again.

"What's wrong?" Lena noticed that Leon's reaction was a bit off.

“Lena, the way you look…” Leon pointed at Leena with his thick fingers and reminded her, “Your head, and your back!”

While not as exaggerated as Leon's, Lena's figure had also grown, becoming taller and more shapely, her skin more delicate, and even her facial features had undergone subtle changes, with her eyes turning into a bewitching deep purple.

But the biggest change is the pair of horns that grow on her head, just like the demons in the work, and the pair of bat-like wings that grow from the torn clothes on her back.

Turning her attention to her back, Lena was surprised to feel something extending from her tailbone, sticking out from under her skirt—it was a tail, which she could control.

"What is this?" Lena screamed.

Leon had seen this thing in some works and immediately answered, "It's a succubus."

Lena also took on a demonic form, and her form was... a succubus!

Chapter 107 The Succubus's Kiss

As they gradually recovered from their initial shock, Leon and Rena began to examine the changes that had occurred in them.

Without a doubt, this is a demonic transformation ability that only high-ranking witches normally possess. After they had undergone the ritual of dual cultivation with Moirai in the secret chamber, the magic of the labyrinth flowed into their bodies, enhancing their blessing power.

The fact that a single ritual can enhance the power of blessings seems a bit too easy to achieve.

Leon wasn't sure if this was because they had agreed to some implicit condition beforehand, or if it was related to his status as the master of the labyrinth.

Leon reached for a nearby workbench, picked up a large tool hammer, weighed it in his hand, and then simply grabbed the edge of the workbench with one hand and lifted the entire table up.

As recorded in church documents, the beast-like demon form possesses significantly enhanced strength, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Beastification is a relatively common form of demon, and it is even said that there are special beastification potions that can achieve similar effects, so the church has a lot of information about it.

However, it is said that taking the potion often leads to loss of control, especially under certain triggers, such as on the night of a full moon, when Moirai's magic becomes more active. Those who take the beast potion will be completely dominated by wildness, become unable to think, and attack those around them indiscriminately.

According to the church's records, a witch's beast form is more controllable and less likely to go out of control. Witches with the ability to transform into beasts can adjust the degree of their transformation, and with practice, they can go from human form to a complete beast form.

Werewolves are said to be the most physically resilient of the beast-like species, with powerful self-healing abilities, and are said to be immortal.

Leon used his right claws to tear open the back of his left hand, easily creating several cuts from which blood immediately flowed out.

He wanted to check the healing progress of his wound, but after the blood flowed out, he suddenly noticed something strange about his blood. It flowed from the back of his hand to the edge, but never dripped down, as if it were stuck to the back of his hand.

Leon flipped his hand over, but the blood still didn't drip down. He dipped his other hand in the blood and rubbed it. The texture of the blood hadn't changed much; it was still a pure liquid and didn't have much stickiness.

He focused his attention and sensed that the magic in his blood seemed more active than ever before.

Moreover, he could vaguely sense that the flowing blood seemed to resonate with his thoughts.

"Let it flow." He tried to muster the thought.

This time, blood finally dripped from the back of his hand, pooling on the ground into a small puddle, but it didn't seep into the soil, just like mercury.

"Move," Leon continued, focusing his mind.

The blood droplets on the ground suddenly turned into long strips and began to flow along the ground on their own, like a young snake winding and crawling.

Leon thought for a moment, then tried to activate the power of his cursed blood. The blood crawling on the ground turned purplish-red, and then, under Leon's mental focus, it transformed into a cloud of smoke that rose up. Instead of dissipating as before, it slowly floated in the air.

Leon tried to control it and found that the poisonous gas could also drift around according to his will, like a ghost, only much slower than the flow of blood. With another thought, the poisonous fog would dissipate.

At the same time, Leon also discovered that the blood remaining on the back of his hand did not change when he activated his ability.

His control over the cursed blood has become more refined than before. He can not only make the blood flow like a part of his own body, but also precisely control only a small portion of the blood to activate. This means that even if he feeds the blood to multiple targets, he can select only one to cause the poison to take effect.

A moment later, the wound on the back of his hand stopped bleeding. Leon wiped away the blood, parted the fur, and found that the wound had begun to stop bleeding on its own and was growing new skin at a visible speed. The werewolf's vitality was indeed as extraordinary as the rumors suggested.

He then used his magic to conduct several more experiments and discovered that when the magic was applied to the claws, the claws would turn purple and emit the same intimidating power as the cursed blood.

It seems that even without using blood as a medium, he can still use his claws to cast curses on people in this state.

"My demon form is a werewolf. Could it be related to the potions I've used?" Leon wondered.

After Weiss gave him the formula, Leon had been using the antidote that Lena made with the formula, and it worked very well. Now the scar has faded a lot and it has basically not recurred.

The main ingredient of that potion is the blood of a dire wolf.

"You can explain this, but what about mine?"

Lena's voice made Leon turn his head to look.

While he was testing his abilities, Lena was also studying the changes in herself.

She even tried to spread her wings and fly. With the help of magic, she could indeed fly by jumping, but the speed of takeoff and flight was not very fast.

Although Leon expressed envy at Lena's ability to fly in her demon form, Lena was clearly more at a loss than Leon.

"Why is it a succubus?" Even after trying to fly, she was still touching her horns and wings and muttering to herself.

Transforming into a succubus, a legendary monster that seduces people into corruption, always feels rather undignified.

Thankfully, she wasn't wearing the red cloak her grandmother had left her, otherwise it would have torn just like this outfit when she transformed.

Succubuses are an extremely rare form of demon. Even in the archives preserved by the Inquisition, there are very few records of witches who can transform into succubi.

“You smell really nice,” Leon suddenly sniffed.

His sense of smell is much more sensitive now than before he transformed, and he can smell many scents that he couldn't normally detect.

He could sense a faint, sweet fragrance emanating from Rena, a scent that would be difficult for an average person to detect.

Leon found that the more he inhaled this aura, the more radiant and charming Lena seemed to be in front of him; the aura seemed to have a mild hypnotic effect.

Now, a large section of Lena's long dress was torn open at the back, revealing her fair back. Her succubus-like body was alluring and captivating, exuding a charm completely different from her usual style, making him feel restless and aroused.

This is a genuine succubus!

Just seeing Lena like this, Leon suddenly felt that it was all worth it to have transmigrated to this world and lived this life!

"Don't keep staring at me like that! The way you are right now, staring at me like that is really scary!" Lena felt a little uneasy being stared at by Leon.

"Sorry, I really like you the way you are right now." Leon grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

"It's fine to like someone, but don't look like you want to eat me alive!" Lena muttered, offering her opinion.

“In another sense, I do really want to…” Leon blurted out the sentence involuntarily.

"What do you mean?" Lena didn't understand at first.

“Lena, there are still many aspects of your abilities worth exploring. I think we should experiment with them more,” Leon suddenly suggested. “Have you ever heard that succubi can control others through intimate contact? I think we can give that a try.”

"How about we try it?" Lena seemed to sense something and frowned slightly.

“For example, let’s do it again…” Leon said in a suggestive tone, pointing to the secret chamber deep inside.

Lena's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Stop joking! Didn't we just do it? And it's been three times already, you can't possibly come back again!"

“But I feel like I can do it again,” Leon said, his eyes shining.

Whether it was because his werewolf form had been enhanced or because of the aura emanating from Rena after she became a succubus, Leon felt as if his condition had returned to normal.

"But I can't!" Lena said in a flustered voice, refusing resolutely. "I don't want to, absolutely not!"

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back tonight." Leon nodded, as if it was a done deal.

“I didn’t agree!” Lena immediately emphasized.

“Why don’t we try kissing? I’ve heard that a succubus’s kiss can also have a seductive effect,” Leon suggested. “You need to figure out what changes have occurred in yourself.”

"This... is acceptable." Lena accepted this time.

"Wait a minute, let me change back first." Leon tried to control his body to return to its original form.

Lena looked up at Leon and suddenly blurted out, "Is it okay like this?"

Leon was taken aback: "Didn't you say I looked scary?"

"I was referring to the scary look you gave me just now. The way you are..." Lena stared at Leon and said shyly, "Actually, it's alright."

Leon's eyes are now yellowish-brown like a wolf's, and the shape of his pupils is completely different from that of a human. When his gaze sharpens, he gives off a wild feeling.

Lena didn't dislike Leon's current appearance; on the contrary, she found it quite novel and even sensed an unusual kind of handsomeness.

But when he stared intently at her, his eyes revealing undisguised desire, as if he were about to devour her at any moment, Lena couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Okay, let's try it this way."

Since Lena said she didn't dislike it, Leon simply didn't change back.

After he finished speaking, he bent down and lowered his head. In his current posture, there was a significant height difference between him and Lena.

Lena also tiptoed and cupped Leon's beast-like face in her hands, kissing the tip of his long lips while trying to instinctively channel her magic.

In an instant, Leon shuddered as if he had been electrocuted. A tingling, numbing sensation started from the spot where Lena had kissed him and traveled throughout his body, turning into a surge of intense pleasure that rushed to his head, making him feel dizzy.

At the same time, he clearly felt his body begin to grow cold, while Lena felt a warm current gathering around her—Leon's life force was transforming into her magic.

Leon realized this, but didn't want to separate. After kissing Lena, he felt dizzy. The intense pleasure gripped him, while a gentle drowsiness enveloped his consciousness, making him feel very comfortable.

But Lena stopped out of concern after realizing she was absorbing Leon's life force. When she separated from him, she found Leon looking at her with a dazed expression.

Is this... that I've been successfully hypnotized by her?

“Leon?” Lena tried patting Leon’s face.

At that moment, Leon awoke with a start during a struggle to regain consciousness.

He was indeed under Lena's charm during the kiss, but he felt that he could break free. Perhaps the kiss was short, or perhaps he had a stronger resistance to the charm in his werewolf state.

When he came to his senses, he found that Lena was looking at him curiously and waving her hand in front of his face, seemingly unsure of his current state.

"..." After a moment's thought, Leon chose to return to a dazed state and remain motionless, continuing to act as if he were being hypnotized.

Chapter 108 A Career Reaching New Heights

"Leon? Leon!" Lena called out to Leon several times and tried to shake him.

Leon remained motionless, feigning an empty gaze.

For a fleeting moment, a mischievous thought popped into his head, making him want to see what Lena would do if he pretended to be hypnotized.

"Were you really hypnotized?"

Lena looked at Leon in confusion. Right after the kiss, she could feel a sensation similar to the synchronization of magic power between the two after using a blood pact.

But it only lasted for a moment before the sensation disappeared, though Leon still seemed to be under her hypnosis.

Does that mean the principle behind charm works differently?

In that case, there's no need to deliberately stop the flow of magic; a simple command can break the hypnosis?

Lena was a little unsure.

Legend has it that succubi can cast a brief spell on people, and those who are spellbound will obey the succubus's every word, forgetting all memories of the spell.

In other words, at this point, Leon would obey her every word?

“Leon, shake hands.” Lena tentatively extended her hand.

“Yes,” Leon replied in a flat tone, taking Lena’s hand.

Finding that the command was effective, Lena began to look at Leon with great interest, and then ordered, "Give me a princess carry."

“Yes.” Leon reached out and picked Lena up in his arms, a move that was easy for him now.
