Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

Chapter 184 - Spirit Calling Ceremony 2

-----

The spirits kept moving around, as a couple neared the four Lilith Sisters, each colorful dot stopping in one of the four.

??

Lilith glanced at the dot as she could not stop being overly excited, she was finally having a spirit just like her beloved lords, she could not be happier at this very moment.

The spirit that stopped near Lilith stood there for a while in silence, until it revealed itself after having taken in a large amount of her Mana and that give by Ervas and Veronica through their mana and soul threads.

Flash!

It resembled a small crimson-red skull, which had blood floating around relentlessly, it emanated a crimson glow that seemed almost terrifying… for a moment Veronica and Ervas thought that it was Hades, the Death Attribute Spirit, as the one they had in their past lives was also something like a skull… but it was not.

"Ah! Is this… My Spirit?! …But what is it even?" asked Lilith in surprise.

"Wait, despite its weird appearance, that's an Undine," said Veronica.

"That's quite the appearance… Indeed, Rose and Sapphire were right, Spirits are incredibly unique in their appearances," said Ervas.

"See? I don't know that one, but it looks quite good, I like red" said Rose as she rested on Ismene's hair as an ornament.

"I often thought that we Undines would at least be blue-colored, but such thought was shattered when I met one that was all green… Do you know what it was? It was urine! I have never seen an Undine that was urine! Since then, I am no longer surprised about the appearance of my brethren," said Sapphire.

"But how is Blood-related with water?! Isn't it more from the dead?" asked Leonidas.

"No, Leonidas. Blood is a liquid after all, right? It is completely related to water then" said Alesia at his side.

"What?! So we have water inside our veins?!" asked Leonidas in surprise.

"Aside from Leonidas not knowing that blood is water, it is still a very strange look… though, after hearing Sapphire, I can't help but feel curious about that Undine that was pee," said Ervas.

"Maybe he has a very sad life," said Veronica.

"What?! No! He was actually quite a nice guy" said Sapphire.

"Perhaps being piss is not that bad?" asked Leonidas.

"Leonidas please stop talking nonsense," said Alesia.

"What? I am just talking" said Leonidas.

The crimson skull stood for a while glancing at Lilith eerily, until it released a small amount of blood that covered her forehead, creating a sudden bond with her.

"Ueh! It's done? H-Hello, Undine?" asked Lilith, glancing at the floating bloody skull.

"I… thirst…" it muttered.

"You… what?" asked Lilith.

"Blood… give me the blood… the blood… the blood of the… fallen," said the skull and its floating blood.

"Ah! Do you like to drink blood? I got the perfect gift for you then- Oh right, spirits can't eat, right?" asked Lilith.

"I can taste it through your mana… Feast into the blood, my bonded companion…" it muttered.

"Okay, maybe later then," said Lilith.

"That is… acceptable…" said Undine, as it flew towards Lilith and rested in her chocker, resembling a tiny ornament that looked like a red skull.

"Do you… want to be named?" asked Lilith.

"I have no name… I simply crave blood… But call me as you may" said the skull.

"Then how about Red Skull?" asked Ervas.

"Red Skull?! That is a villain- Well, it fits" said Veronica.

"A villain?! The perfect name then, my lords!" said Lilith.

"Red Skull…" muttered Undine.

The rest of the Lilith sisters all received a single spirit as well, Eisheth received a Wisp, a Light Attribute Spirit of the specter of Brightness within the Light Attribute in the shape of the feathered wing, Agrat received a Gaia with the shape of a fly trap-like carnivorous plant, Naamah, in the other case, received a Salamander with that resembled a mass of black and purple flames.

"We all got our Spirits now, Ervas-sama~!" said Eisheth.

"Light… let me blind everything with light!" said Wisp.

"Hey, this one is trying to eat me, but it can't anyways… I like it" said Agrat with a grin.

"Gnasshhh!" hissed Agrat's Gaia.

"Is this really a spirit? It's amazing how it changes from black to purple, quite trippy…" said Naamah.

"Hey, let us do some mischief, you like it, right? I know you do, fufu" laughed Naamah's Salamander.

"So many spirits showed up… I really didn't expect it…" said Shade in disbelief. He had a different perception in Spirits, as he thought that all spirits were often prideful like him, and would not simply bend the knee and offer their servitude to someone that was calling to them out of the blue… but it seemed that he was the only around that liked to be such a rebel at life, because cases such as Rose and Sapphire were there, that only looked for pretty girls to wear them as ornaments so they can be beautiful even more…

"See?! See?! We are all friendly hereeee~~~!" said Gaia happily, floating around and doing small pirouettes.

Ervas and Veronica congratulated the four Lilith sisters over their new companions in life, as they glanced at the last dots of light approaching some others of their family members. However, it seemed that Undead such as Goliath, Ozgeth, Legion, and Draconia was ignored.

The next on the list of the spirits was Gaius, the silent bear-kin beastman who had been watching peacefully as everyone acquired a Spirit, suddenly was found by one.

"Ah… Are you looking for someone?" he asked.

"What? No? I am looking right at you, man! Cheer up!" said the spirit, revealing itself to be a Gnome with the appearance of a large piece of raw, black-colored ore, as if it were just recently taken out of a cave.

"Me? I see… thanks for choosing me, though I am not that good with Magic, to be honest" said Gaius.

"Doesn't matter, you can use Spirit Magic with many other things! This is how we are so flexible, you know? Name me Cobalt, I am part of the cool gang of Spirits that name themselves, what's your name?" asked Cobalt.

"Cool Gang…? I am Gaius, nice to meet you, Cobalt" said Gaius politely.

"Nice, nice! I like you, you are pretty cool, like me! We will make good friends" said Cobalt.

"I hope so… But are you not… well…" Muttered Gaius.

"What? Oh, right! I am rocking your metallic limbs, man, that is what attracted me the most! I think I could help you move and shape them around more easily! So you can rampage and do all the crazy stuff that we, the cool guys, do all the time," said Cobalt with a cool tone, as he floated near Gaius' prosthetic limbs and admired their designs with quite a lot of fascination.

"I should not feel surprised by Spirits' personalities anymore, but that one really surprised me," said Ervas.

"Me too… just what's up with these Spirits? I never knew they were so lively and diverse before! Is calling them through our spirits bringing the ones with great and more developed personalities?" wondered Veronica.

"That might be the case, but I haven't gotten one for me yet!" said Anna.

"You haven't? And who's that?" asked Veronica as she pointed out a floating dot of colors atop Anna's head.

Anna twitched her ears as she glanced at the colorful light slowly descend towards her.

"Eh?! R-Right, the words…" muttered Anna as she resumed her calling upon the Spirits until the dot of bright light showed itself to her through being feed with her mana and then making a bond.

The spirit resembled a coiling snake made out of bright yellow lightning residing inside a tiny dark cloud, it was a very unique appearance, and when it greeted Anna, it popped out its serpent-like face off the dark cloud-like body (or hair?), making it seem very cute.

"Oh, that's a Fulgora, a rare type of Wind Attribute Spirit, it represents the lightning side of the wind attribute, unlike Sylphid who represents the winds," said Ervas.

"Fulgora…" muttered Anna as she tried to approach it with her fingers only to receive a slight shock of electricity…

"Ouch… would you be more gentle?" asked Anna, as the adorable Fulgora nodded in agreement, coiling around Anna's arm without damaging her.

"It seems to not talk, so it's a young one," said Veronica.

"I will treat it well," said Anna with a smile.

Meanwhile, Pekorina and Acathea were also taken by the attention of a few spirits, two dots of colors floated towards the girls, however, both spirits seemed somehow related with each other, as they rotated with each other incessantly.

"Err… hi?" asked Acathea, as the two spirits stopped rotating seemingly in happiness, and separated themselves from each other, floating towards Pekorina and Acathea.

"Woah! It's so… strange?" asked Pekorina, as the two spirits showed themselves after forming a bond with them.

The two spirits resembled small lizards, no bigger than the palm of their hands, both spirits only had one wing each, and one horn each. Acathea's spirit was of an Undine despite its appearance, while Pekorina's was a Salamander…

"Why are they so alike?" wondered Pekorina.

"Those might be twins born at the same time, young rabbit girl. They might be alike, but they're from different attributes… fascinating, is it?" Rose said with a mischievous tone in her voice.

"I like them already!" said Acathea as the two spirits flew around her and Pekorina playfully.

"It seems that everything went smoothly," said Ervas.

"Yep… though we didn't get any new Spirit…" said Veronica.

"Veronica am I not enough for you…?" asked Shade.

The day continued as more spirits were distributed until they finally stopped coming. The event was a success, and it was even given a holiday in the Kingdom named the 'Spirit Ceremony Day' by Ervas and Veronica.
