Hun!
As the needles touched the bones, they released thick energy that spread across my bones, forming a layer around my bones.
This had surprised me as seeing the needles, I had been very prepared for them to pierce through my bones like they did my skin, but instead, they had released the energy which is now covering my bones.
It did not take even a minute for the energy to spread, covering my bones whole, when the needles finally moved, and instead of piercing as I had expected them to, they began to move on my bones, carving the delicate runes on them.
Thousands of needles doing that in unison, making me feel like a horde of ants eating away my bones. It is a good thing; these bones are binding me tightly; otherwise, I did not think I would have been able to stay seated on my spot with all my willpower.
The needles moved, carving one tiny rune after another while I watched with eyes and tried to study the formation they were trying to carve, but it was too complicated; even an incomplete one felt a hundred times more complicated than what was on the safe.
The carving continued for nearly four and half minutes, and now my whole every part of my bone is carved in small and delicate runes.
The whole runic formation is in front of me, and as I had said, it is exceedingly complicated that I could make head to tail. Whoever designed this formation must be absolutely generous; the way he designed it is simply marvelous; I would need to study it for weeks just to get a hint of what this formation does.

I was watching the runes when suddenly, I saw the needles melting and filling the runes; within a few minutes, the runes turned crystalline; they looked quite beautiful, actually.
Ahhhh…
A moment later, the runes lit up blindingly, and I felt the pain that made me scream; the runes released a wave so powerful that it began to turn them into dust.
My bones began to turn into dust, and there was nothing I could do about that other than scream so loud that my throat became dry, but still, the pain did not lessen.
The bones crushing wave also made me understand why there is a layer of energy covering my bones; it is to contain the wave to bones. With its power, it wouldn't be any problem to turn flesh into a fine paste; it is truly very powerful, and that is likely why it needed a bare seven seconds to turn everything into dust.
The bones had turned into dust, but the crystalline formation was fine and visible, and now, it is slowly seeping inside the bone dust till it has completely disappeared.
For a couple of seconds, nothing had happened before I felt the bone dust lighting up or the formation that seeped inside, but a moment later, I felt a wave realizing from the center. This wave is different as it touches the particle of dust, and a change would occur in them.
The universal energy would come out of the dust and merge with the energy of the wave, and together the bone dust particle would bond.
The first wave was spent, but it was far from enough to bond all the dust, so when I saw another wave coming out from the center, I couldn't help but take a sigh of relief. If they had kept the bones as it is, then I would have been a dead man; the bone is necessary for the movement; with them turning to dust, I am incapable of moving.
Hell, I wouldn't have been able to survive for long; bone turning to dust is no simple matter, and if not for formation, which is controlling the inner working of the spine and other things, I would have been dead right now.
The second wave came out, the third and then the fourth and so on, and each wave would bone the bone dust little by little. I could see my bones coming together little by little
I just wish it would happen a little faster; I kept fearing something might happen, and it would just stop, leaving my bones to dust. I do not want this to happen, and even making plans to fix it myself if something like that does happen.
Forty minutes passed, and bone dust was bonding at study speed, and if it continued like this, then within an hour, I would have my complete bones back.
Waves after waves came out through the formation, bonding my bones more and more; I watched the whole process through the pain.
While the process is painful and makes me extremly vulnerable, I get huge data from it. This method is doing some of the things I was planning on testing with my bones but never done for fear of permanently damaging my bones, but now the method has done it, proving to me the data which was going to help me a lot.
I had focused so much on the data that I had forgotten about everything else and only came to myself when the dust had turned back to the bones.
The formation had returned, but its glow had disappeared, and so had its crystalline shine, which confirmed that it is a consumable artifact. I would have to be very careful about the fact of who will be able to use this thing; even if I could feel it contains a huge amount of energy, it is finite.

The formation buzzed again, and this time, it began to suck the energy layer covering my bones. It had completely absorbed the layer within a minute before melded into one and forming and getting out of my body into the bones devil that is covering me.
It took nearly a minute for it to be completely absorbed into the bone devil before I felt its binding loosening from me; seeing that, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
It took around three and half minutes for the bone devil to unto all its binding and seeped back into the bone block, leaving me completely free.
I opened my eyes with a big smile on my face; my bones have gone through a transformation; they are now whiter and have a faintly glowing sheen to them.
I did not feel any bursting strength from them, except for being a little heavier, which now they have become, but it is not the only change they have gone through.
If the data I am reading through the meta-scan is right, then my bones have gone through a tremendous change, and I am very glad that my fleshy body is strong enough to bear the change.
It is abundantly clear that not all of them would be able to take advantage of this thing; those who wanted to use it would need a sufficiently strong fleshy body.
Thud!
I looked at all the changes before jumping out of the block; now that I have gone through the transformation, it is time I test the benefits and get used to it; as I do, then it will be time for me to hunt the Grimms, which I wanted to do the moment, I have taken the steps into this vestige.
