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

Chapter 240 - [A Mountain Of War And Death] 25/?: A Worthy Challenger!

-----

"That thing… It didn't die even after Veronica's onslaught?" wondered Ervas as he glanced through the battlefield, he had just finished gathering the corpses of the fallen while at the same time getting rid of a large chunk of the Undead army through his Telekinetic Cannons.

??

Ervas wondered this as he glanced at the battle down below, after having confronted the strange creature that had oddly similar capabilities to her, Veronica went 'all in' (although not really) against it and Sevapheso, only for Sevapheso to die and then instantly turn into an Undead, where his Phantasmagoric Aura and the liquid metal creature converged together.

"That guy… is he desiring Desephise's death? Why is that? He said something about Feroya… Wait, Feroya? That is Veronica's new ghost… Oh, I see… This is all quite connected, the world is really tiny. So, such a person ended up with the Necromancer… Hm, even after turning into an Undead, it seems that he was not charmed by Veronica's Death Attribute Charm… Is it because of the Necromancer's tweaking around its body? It might be…"

Ervas' mind began to rush with many thoughts at the same time, even after all of the turns of events, he seemed not worried for Veronica at all. He was very confident in her strength, in fact.

The battlefield around Veronica quickly froze as most of the horde of Undead had already fallen, with the combined onslaught of the bear-kin led by Ragdaz, and Gaius, alongside Ervas and Veronica's allies such as Jason, Anna, and Ismene, things were quickly turning upside down.

However, in front of Veronica, the domain of freezing blue flames of purgatory began to expand wildly, as the monstrous Sevapheso began to change, even more, the liquid metal slime undead golem creature that the Necromancer had created seemed to have outstanding regeneration capabilities, and it kept absorbing on the undying hatred of the young harpy man, while his wild and even more monstrous Phantasmagoric Aura converged with it, creating a trifecta of monstrosity.

Behind Veronica, Desephase was slowly being carried away by beautiful and gleaming emerald winds. Such winds came not from a magic spell, but from a beautiful harpy, the girl made entirely out of glistering emerald winds.

"Feroya… my daughter… I am… I am so sorry…"

"No, I am sorry… mother, I am sorry for being so irresponsible for having escaped the tribe, I should have tried to solve things differently… due to my stupidity, I ended up dying miserably…"

"No… if it hasn't been for me… for my irresponsibility… nothing of this would have ever happened…"

"Stop with playing the victim already! I am here now, so cheer up, okay?"

"Haahh… But how…? How are you still alive…?"

"I am not… to be honest, I am actually still dead. I've become a Ghost! I was a Dead Spirit a bit early today, and I've been slowly trying to approach the tribe, but I was left way too weakened… but when Veronica-sama showed up, she helped me gain new strength!"

"Veronica…"

"Yeah, the one that rescued you!"

"Why is she… helping us? And the bear-kin as well… why?"

"Huh? Why wouldn't they? Is there to be a reason for helping other people in need? If someone has the strength to do it, why wouldn't they do it? It is more questionable why wouldn't someone do it!"

"…Feroya, you're such a bright girl, forgive me… I am sorry… And Sevapheso… It is my fault that the boy is like this now…! I can't… Ugh…!"

Desephise suddenly began to cough blood as Feroya became alarmed.

"Don't worry, mother, I know who he is… I am going to help Veronica-sama beat some sense into Sevapheso!" said Feroya.

"Perfect timing leave it here, Feroya!" said Gwendolyn, emerging within Nick's body, her beautiful body made entirely out of plants extended its vines and tightly grabbed Desephise.

"Ah… What is…?"

"Don't worry, you're in good hands, Gwendolyn-san is a good healer!" said Nick.

"Huh?"

Desephise could not feel more confused, she suddenly realized that she was carried by Feroya inside a black-colored metallic structure, where she was put over a small bed made out of leather.

Alongside her, there were many other plan-type monsters of similar appearance to Gwendolyn, although not in shape, as Gwendolyn was able to take the shape of a beautiful elven woman made entirely out of vines.

The plants began to exude a glistering golden light as Desephise felt like she was healing herself slowly.

Poof!

Suddenly, out of white smoke, a small boy appeared, seemingly made entirely out of Phantom.

"Hi, time for your checkup"

"C-Checkup…?"

"Alright mom, see ya! I'll come back with Sevapheso, I hope that this time you won't bother him so much!" said Feroya, as she disappeared from the place as a gust of emerald winds.

"Feroya… Since when have you been this brave? My daughter… I am so proud… of you…"

As Desephise feel unconscious and Ervas Phantom Clone alongside his plants began to heal and repair her wounds, Feroya flashed through the battlefield while destroying any Undead on her way, quickly reaching Veronica's place within less than five seconds.

Within Veronica's perspective a few minutes ago, Sevapheso had already begun to mutate and shapeshift! Becoming a monstrous creature, seemingly in the shape of something like a wolf, but possessing six legs, several tails with sharp stingers, and a gigantic, almost oversized metallic jaw.

Sevapheso had become something completely unrecognizable for Veronica and Feroya.

The monster that Sevapheso had become suddenly had its body set ablaze on blue flames as the creature roared in anger. Its whole presence began to expand, and the pressure that began to expand around made most of the surviving Undead fall apart.

The Dead Spirits that possessed them quickly flew towards it!

"Oh, it's using Dead Spirit Fusion…? Interesting… Alright, time to use a bit more of my capabilities… It seems worthy enough… Shade! Ozgeth! Pete! And… Feroya!" said Veronica, as the Light Attribute Spirit Shade, and the three Ghosts Ozgeth, Pete, and Feroya appeared at her sides, each one flashing with a powerful magical aura.

"Is it finally time to do something?"

"My lady, at your service!"

"GRRIISHAAAA!"

"Veronica-sama, let me lend you my strength!"

"GRRAAAAA! DIE, DIE, DIE!!!"

Sevapheso roared as it charged straight towards Veronica with everything it had! The flames it exuded blazed with freezing winds, flowing towards Veronica as a powerful shock of cold hit her!

Of course, she was made of metal, so such an attack would not particularly damage her…

"Alright guys, I just figured this one Spell! Combine your Auras! Abyssal Death Thunderstorm!"

"Very well!"

"It will be as you say, my lady!"

"GRRYSHA!"

"Let's show him what we are made of!"

FLASH!

Shade, Ozgeth, Pete, and Feroya began to spin around each other as their magical auras converged into a large flash of different lights and attributes, suddenly transforming into an enormous black cloud that released slicing emerald winds and electrifying dark thunder!

Spark!

Clash!

Boom!

The convergence of flowing slicing winds and sparking dark thunder flew towards Sevapheso's wave of cold flames, clashing against each other into a loud magical explosion!

BOOM!

The sparking thunder and the slicing winds easily got through Sevapheso's icy flames as they reached its body, clashing like the judgment of a god.

CLASH!

"UUNNGGHH! UNNGGRYYAAAA!"

Sevapheso was pressured by the enormous blow of power sent into it, only to release a crazed roar, opening its metallic maw and revealing its monstrous phantasmal soul, which began to converge into a powerful amount of concentrated energy, being fired immediately towards Veronica as a draconic breath-like attack of blue flames!

FLASH!

"Abyssal Death Thunderstorm Curtain!"

Veronica showcased an amazing use of magic as she commanded her spirits into a new spell, spending her large reserves of Mana and making them generate a gigantic curtain of black clouds that released slicing emerald winds and sparking black thunder!

BOOM!

Sevapheso's breath attack was easily blocked, resulting in yet another loud explosion!

Veronica began to shapeshift as she called back her spirits, who gathered with her body as they exuded their auras in convergence with hers!

"Let's get physical, conjuring just spells is not my thing anymore! Guys, cover me!" said Veronica.

"Very well!"

"Sure thing, my lady!"

"GRRYSHA!"

"At your orders, Veronica-sama!"

As if they were multiple people living in the same body, Veronica was suddenly surrounded by magic circles as countless spells were fired towards Sevapheso as she charged towards it, her body was made slim and flexible enough, and through her Electrify, her speed was simply outstanding!

"UUNNGGRAAAHH…! I will… Tear you apart...! I will... Kill you!" roared Sevapheso, his mind was no longer sane.

"Could you stop spouting nonsense all the time? It was fun at first but now your joke is getting old, bud," laughed Veronica as she suddenly shapeshifted her upper torso into a gigantic monstrosity, completely filled with Anir's Bone Marrow and covered in Kelsus Dark Scales, her size quickly increased as she became of almost the same size as Sevapheso!

"You don't look that big anymore, don't you?" said Veronica, as her humanoid-shaped body did not resemble her anymore, but a monstrous metallic demon from the depths of hell.

Her hands suddenly grew countless spears, blades, and axes, as she seemed to be ready to slice anything she touched!

And as she charged, Shade, Ozgeth, Pete, and Feroya kept firing their magic attacks without stopping.

"Don't… Do not laugh at ME!!! UUNNGRRAAAAAAH!"

Sevapheso's body began to exude a deadly presence once again, materializing itself into gigantic phantasmal hounds that flew towards Veronica!
