In regards to this sudden change in Idir, he found himself wandering in his beastly form. Maybe he expected it due to the trickery games that earth chan plays, as well as the fact that he managed to obtain the beast tail from the last mission from the astral planes, but he was some sort of beast like figure now. "How strange, i'm a beast humanoid now?"


In the wake of the peculiar transformation, Idir discovered the intricate details of his new beastly humanoid form. His once-human features now bore a fusion with the untamed essence of the wild. Starting from the top, his head remained distinctly human but adorned with a crown of fur that flowed seamlessly into his own. His eyes retained their sharp intelligence but held a glint of primal instinct, a blend of human wisdom and the untamed spirit of the wilderness.

The most noticeable change occurred in his limbs. His arms retained their human shape, but the skin now boasted a subtle pattern reminiscent of fur, hinting at the creature within. Long, agile fingers ended in claws, each tip curved and adapted for both precision and the natural weapons of the animal kingdom.

Moving down to his torso, his chest bore a combination of human musculature and the sleek, sinewy grace of a creature adapted to the wilderness. The fur, now more pronounced, traveled down his spine, creating a natural gradient that seamlessly blended with the human-like skin.

Perhaps the most significant transformation occurred at his lower half. His legs, once entirely human, now sported the appearance of powerful hind limbs. The bones elongated, the knees adapting to a more flexible structure, and his feet morphed into robust, clawed appendages designed for traction and agility.

A long, tufted tail completed the ensemble, swaying with a balance of instinctual elegance. Its fur matched the pattern on his head, creating a cohesive visual narrative that bridged the human and the untamed aspects of his newfound form. Idir, now a creature of both worlds, contemplated the peculiar beauty of his altered appearance. The fusion of human and beast created a harmonious blend, a testament to the unpredictable wonders of the astral planes and Earth-chan's capricious nature.


Perplexed by his newfound beast humanoid form, Idir decided to seek guidance from his friends, hoping they could shed light on this mysterious transformation. With a sense of urgency, he made his way to the familiar gathering place where they often convened.

As he approached the meeting spot, he anticipated the reassuring presence of his friends. However, upon arrival, the scene that unfolded before him left him in stunned disbelief. To his surprise and dismay, his friends, too, had undergone similar transformations. Or mostly Lafey, who became a cheerleader.

"Have you all transformed yet?"

With Idir finishing up on his end, the last of his enemies had finally fallen. Doing a bit of a stretch, Idir wiped his hands clean of the guts from the merfolk that he defeated, turning to the rest of the group. There was quite a bit of figures, and the strongest among them was Dee Dee. With her army of allies, losing was more or less a funny thing to think about when considering the likelihood of that happening.

"How is everyone? Good? Safe?"

Idir went back to check on the others, not knowing if they managed to clear up their fair share of enemies. If not, Idir didn't mind picking up the slack.

As Panya channeled Nefurika's persona and reached out to the ethereal crowd, her heartfelt speech began to resonate with the restless spirits. The once-agitated apparitions gradually calmed, their expressions shifting from anger to a more receptive understanding. Some nodded in acknowledgment of Nefurika's confession, while others engaged in whispered conversations among themselves.

As Panya concluded her speech with a plea for passage and an end to the spirits' torment, a solemn atmosphere enveloped the surroundings. The spirits appeared to deliberate for a moment, their collective mood transitioning from hostility to contemplation. It was clear that Nefurika's words had deeply affected them, connecting with their own experiences of past transgressions and regrets.

After a tense silence, a spectral figure with a regal bearing stepped forward from among the ethereal crowd. This figure had been particularly hostile initially, but now it regarded Panya with a softened gaze.

"You carry the weight of your past mistakes, Nefurika," the spirit declared, its voice resonating through the surreal landscape. "Your humility and acknowledgment of your errors have touched us. We grant you passage, for we too have borne the burden of regrets."

With a unanimous agreement among the spirits, they parted, allowing Panya and Idir to proceed on their journey to assist Nefurika in finding peace.

"That was beautiful, great job, my comrade," Idir praised with a smile, patting Panya on the back for encouragement. "You've really mastered this possession skill. Now you know how it feels when I transform into creatures; it's like an Uber rideshare."

With renewed determination, the group moved forward, facing their final challenge. It led them to a room filled with mechanisms adorned with Egyptian hieroglyphics that appeared quite heavy to manipulate.

---

Final Challenge - Utilize Nefurika's knowledge to turn the gears in the correct order to restore the ritual and enable the pyramid to ascend to its heavenly destination. A B-rank power or higher is required to turn the gears.

---

Cracking his knuckles, Idir turned to Panya and grinned. "Here's the final hurdle, and I'll handle the heavy lifting. Just instruct me on the degrees to turn each gear and the order in which to do it."

"It's quite possible. " Idir said this as he took the words of Panya finding out that it was safe. It wasn't as if they decided not to interact with the new species, it was more like they couldn't do anything with them due to the curse that was going about within this temple. "Oh, it's quite surreal, but I wouldn't want to touch them in case something happens. " Idir said this as he observed the humanoids going off in their little world. Now that he was able to observe them up close, he did feel bad for them.

"Let's carry, on. Maybe during this adventure, we lift the curse?"

Moving forward, they entered the first part of the stage maze of regret. As they entered, the quest updated.

---

Mission update: stage 1 - To help Nefurika, the team must navigate through the maze, where each turn and corridor represents a pivotal moment in her life that led to her remorse. At each intersection, they must assist Nefurika in confronting and reconciling with her past actions.

---

"So we console her? I'll leave it to you to keep the ancient spirit stabilized Panya. I'll use my tracking skills to get us out of this maze. " With that, Idir led the way for the sake of navigating through. Panya would soon find that her senses would link with the spirit as they traveled, every turn recalled a bad moment in the ancient spirit's life. It was up to Panya as to what she would do with that information.

Idir contemplated the peculiar nature of the astral world as he and Panya received an update on their mission from the mystical ghost-like figure, Nefurika, who possessed both human and feline features. The ancient spirit's story was one of tragedy and unintended consequences, involving a powerful sorceress from ancient Egypt who had a profound connection to the spirit world. Her quest to protect ancient knowledge and her involvement with the Devil's Triangle portals had led to her soul being trapped between realms, separated from her physical body.

The revelation shed light on the mystery of the upside-down pyramid and its connection to Nefurika's ritual. It seemed that her desire to safeguard sacred knowledge had inadvertently led to her current state of unrest.

"Alright, well that answers the question in regards to her unrest. Maybe that's why the pyramid looks that way. Through the ritual?" Idir mused, pondering the significance of the ritual and its impact on the astral world.

Observing the direction in which Nefurika pointed, Idir stretched briefly and then began to walk with determination. His words carried a sense of purpose.

"Alright, let's put her soul at ease, shall we?"

Venturing once more into the depths of the Devil's Triangle, Idir decided it was time to reconnect with his old friend, Panya, and seek her assistance on this expedition. It had been a while since he had taught her the art of defeating slimes, and he couldn't help but worry about her well-being. Panya's fervent passion for delving into the realms of Egyptian folklore and artifacts intrigued Idir. He wondered if their journey might unveil certain creatures or deities that he could one day challenge and, if victorious, transform into. But beyond that, Idir relished the opportunity to encounter new beings, adding to his ever-growing repository of knowledge, all in service of his ongoing project: a comprehensive guide to monsters.

"Perhaps she'll be up for another adventure," Idir mused to himself. "There's bound to be an ancient spirit in need of our help, and who knows, it might align with Panya's interests."

Idir waited patiently, his anticipation growing as he looked forward to reuniting with a friend he hadn't seen in far too long. The prospect of embarking on another supernatural journey with Panya filled him with excitement and the hope of uncovering hidden mysteries within the Devil's Triangle.

Mission

As Idir stood before the radiant Crystal Heart, he noticed a subtle shift in the atmosphere. The air grew still, and a mysterious mist began to coalesce around him. Slowly, from the heart of the mist, emerged ghostly figures, each representing a different facet of Idir's own past, present, and potential future.

These spectral echoes of Idir's life seemed to dance and weave around him, their translucent forms flickering like candle flames. They whispered softly, their voices like distant echoes of forgotten moments.

"Remember your past," one ghostly figure implored, conjuring a hazy scene from Idir's early years as a hunter. It showcased moments of determination, resilience, and a fierce commitment to his craft.

"Embrace your present," urged another, revealing images of Idir's journey through the Ancient Relic Rally, his interactions with fellow racers, and his moments of reflection and growth.

"Seize your future," whispered the third, painting a vivid but uncertain picture of adventures yet to come, hinting at the untapped potential within Idir.

These ephemeral echoes did more than just evoke memories; they scrutinized Idir's character, probing his strengths and weaknesses, his fears and hopes.

In the midst of this ethereal dance, Idir had to confront his true self. He couldn't escape the scrutiny of these ghostly reflections, and he knew that the Crystal Heart's power would only reveal itself to those who accepted themselves, warts and all.
