Chapter 3538 Ellie's Transformation
However, Ellie's desire to eat was a good sign, indicating that the little unicorn's spirits had recovered somewhat. But a new problem arose at the end of the treatment: the last trace of red on Ellie's body could not be completely removed.
The unicorns' dance continued, the shimmering pure white light even causing the nearby snowflakes to glow. Shad, who had been harboring distracting thoughts due to the excessive consumption of perfume that morning, found himself completely calmed by the pure white glow.
Watching this scene, the outsider felt as if he had suddenly rediscovered the beauty of the fairy tales he first read in his childhood. Unicorns are indeed fairy tale creatures.
According to the "History of Time," you are currently a child.
She smiled and whispered a reminder in Shad's ear.
“I mean my real childhood, back in my hometown.”
He rarely reminisced about his hometown, and then, for some reason, he thought of his own fairy tale obsession, and the connection between those positive qualities and unicorns. In the story of Snow White, the princess seemed to share some similarities with the unicorns—both were kind and innocent, loved nature, were approachable, and were also quite lucky.
As Shad's thoughts began to wander, the last trace of pink on Ellie's body finally faded from her fur. The unicorns, however, didn't stop, because even the girls standing nearby noticed a blood-red scar the size of a fingernail on the right side of Ellie's neck.
This hadn't been there before, but appeared after the color in the fur faded. So the unicorns continued dancing, while Ellie stood up from the snow, remaining still and patiently waiting. Just when everyone thought that the last red scar would soon disappear—
hold head high!
It suddenly let out a painful cry, then lay back down in the snow. A worried Emilia clutched her clothes tightly, and Iluna beside her wore almost the same expression.
Shad snapped out of his daze and looked at Ellie with equal concern, but since the unicorns hadn't stopped, it wasn't appropriate for anyone to go over and check on them.
Everyone looked at Ellie, and under everyone's gaze, within the pure white halo emanating from Ellie's body, the figure of the little unicorn, writhing in pain in the snow, flickered for a moment, and then a humanoid figure appeared where Ellie had been.
They all saw clearly that the figure that appeared in the flashing light was a girl who seemed to be sculpted from moonlight and the first snow.
Her skin was an almost translucent, luminous white, so delicate that not a single pore could be seen, and it glowed with a soft, healthy pinkish hue in the sunlight. Her cheeks were round, with a touch of baby fat, and her long, cascading white hair fell to her waist, the strands soft and light, like the softest mane on Ellie's own neck.
Even at the ends of its hair, there remained a faint, almost imperceptible iridescent halo, a color that was extremely rare to appear when unicorns cast spells.
Her eyes were tightly closed in pain, her small nose was slightly upturned, and the tip of her nose was pink. Her lips were a natural pale cherry color, full like a newly blooming flower bud.
She wore a simple, seemingly naturally formed dress, its material like a veil woven from flowing moonlight, its color a pure, flawless snow white, like the surrounding snowflakes. The dress was extremely simple in style, resembling the simple robes of ancient priests. The robe loosely wrapped around her slender body, only lightly tied at the waist with a soft, equally snow-white ribbon.
Lying in the snow, she exuded an aura of untouched innocence, a natural purity untouched by the world. Like the first dewdrop to form in the forest at dawn, or a white lily of the valley quietly blooming.
Clean and bright, though her expression was pained, she still carried the innocent wonder of new life and a pure, instinctive magic. If described by Dorothy, it would be as if sunlight kissed her long hair and snow-white skirt, spreading a fuzzy halo around her.
The figure only existed for less than two seconds before disappearing in a flash and transforming back into Ellie's unicorn form. Ellie's figure flashed again two seconds later, transforming back into the female figure, then the figure transformed back into Ellie, repeating this process dozens of times before finally stabilizing in the unicorn form.
"Hmm, am I seeing things?"
For a moment, no one spoke, until Claire asked incredulously.
Her appearance was brief, but everyone remembered it vividly. It wasn't an illusion or a magic trick; for those brief ten seconds, Ellie truly transformed into a human girl.
However, the unicorns didn't react with the same astounding surprise as the humans. They continued their dance, but it seemed the ceremony was about to end, because the red scar on the side of Ellie's neck had faded considerably after several transformations. Once she stabilized in her unicorn form, her expression no longer showed such pain.
The great witches looked at Flora, the master of transformation:
Can you explain what happened just now?
The latter blinked, and then actually nodded:
"Body transformation is not a right exclusive to humanoid life. Dragons can transform into humans, and your mermaid friends, Sylvie, can also transform their fish tails into human legs. The transformation of unicorns into humans is theoretically possible."
The librarian at St. Byron hesitated and said:
"I have never read any record of a unicorn transforming into a human."
The great witch of "wisdom and knowledge," Audrey, then spoke up, pointing out:
"Indeed, compared to powerful dragons that love to transform into humanoid forms, unicorns prefer their own form, which is the posture that best suits their pure power."
But I've read many records in the council that, theoretically, intelligent beings of a different species can also reach the level of a Ring Sorcerer. And once they reach the Ring Sorcerer level, with sufficient talent, they can learn Transfiguration and even a stone can be transformed into human form.
She gave several examples:
"The great witches of the previous era recorded many examples of tree-people transforming into humans. The difference between a tree-form and a human is no smaller than the difference between a unicorn and a human."
As she spoke, she recalled the maid who had bid farewell to Shad and returned to the Ice Castle after the group arrived at the snow mountain:
“There are also elemental life forms. They don’t even have flesh and blood, and the difference between them and humans is even greater, but they can also transform into a near-perfect human form. The maid named Winnie probably kept her body made of ice material just because she was more used to it. With the power she demonstrated, transforming into a flesh and blood body would definitely not be a problem.”
"But Ellie doesn't have the Ring Sorcerer rank!"
Emilia then raised another question, and Flora nodded slightly, analyzing it from the perspective of transfiguration and physical transformation:
"It was contaminated with the pseudo-human mother fluid, and Shad even said it received a gift from the ancient gods. I'm not sure what that pool of blood is, and I'm not familiar with the power of that [Twilight Creator], but it's highly likely that these two forces facilitated Ellie's transformation? Evolution?"
The artist then noticed the cat perched on Shad's shoulder:
"To give a somewhat inappropriate example, Shad's cat can transform into a very majestic big cat, right? So the difference between Ellie and Mia when Ellie transforms into human form is simply the direction of their power evolution. Ellie was specifically catalyzed by the 'pseudo-human' power in her blood, so the direction of her evolution after gaining power was to transform into a human."
When Flora brought this up, Shad was reminded of Mia's "erroneous evolution," and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
However, just as Mia's "Golden Big Cat" form is not a constant, Ellie has not been able to maintain a stable human form either.
After the unicorns' ceremony ended, Shad went to check on its condition. It was still curled up weakly on the snow, with a very faint pink scar on its neck.
It did not reject Shad's caresses, and after careful examination, Shad confirmed that the whispering elements of the [False House] nature no longer existed within Ellie's body. Although her flesh still contained very little blood, it was slowly absorbing it and should metabolize it soon.
"So, can Ellie turn back into her previous appearance?"
Emilia asked with concern, a question that was again answered by Flora and Audrey. They had also carefully examined Allie's condition, but only received an uncertain result:
"Perhaps it's only temporary, or perhaps it's permanent. Shad's moonfire and the unicorns' ritual catalyzed this 'evolution,' so when she transformed just now, it was as if she was enveloped in moonlight, which complicates matters further. We're also unsure whether it remembered that brief moment of transforming power."
The pseudo-human power within it has now been completely eradicated, and the moonlight itself was an external force bestowed by Shad. More likely, the form we just witnessed was merely an unstable intermediate state, a process of healing and recovery, similar to a scab forming on a wound. Now that the injury has healed, the scab will naturally not reappear.
"But Ellie still doesn't look well."
Iluna asked curiously, reaching out to touch Ellie.
Emilia then inquired about Ellie with concern, and after whispering with the little unicorn for a while, she said to Iluna:
"Ellie said it's too hungry to move. Shad, do you have any apples?"
Afterwards, Emilia asked Ellie if the little unicorn could still transform into human form, but the little unicorn couldn't understand the question because it didn't even remember ever briefly transforming into human form.
Emilia then consulted the "elder unicorns," the older unicorns in the unicorn population, but their answers were beyond Emilia's comprehension:
"They were talking about things like stars, the moon, and fate, just like prophets."
Therefore, there is currently no answer to the question of whether Ellie can actually transform.
