Finally. A smile. Yes, Koro noticed that. He lets out a demonic groan that is likely a sigh of relief, and turns back onto his stomach, then gets onto his knees.

Finally, the darkness that he had absorbed from the jiangshi pulses through his body, replenishing his power that he had lost in the net. The human must unfortunately bear witness to one more scene of horror, as Koro's body slowly shifts, the bones of crackling bones filling the silence. He shrinks, and his skin smooths and lightens, his body becoming full and growing muscle. The scraggly hairs on his head grow, and soon his bald head grows soft, shirt black locks. The ridges on his back flatten into his skin, his spine straightens, and his wings and tail shrink into his body, his horns into his head. Eyes grow from the empty sockets in his head, lips grow on his shrinking and shortening grin, and his ears shrink and become rounder.

Cloth somehow forms out of thin air, growing from Koro's skin and forming clothes on his body.

The entire transformation looks excruciating, and yet Koro doesn't seem bothered one bit. Soon before the human kneels a tall, built man in farmer's clothing, far easier on the eyes than his previous form.

"Better?"
