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

Chapter 241 - [A Mountain Of War And Death] 26/?: Veronica Goes All Out!

-----

"She really doesn't want me to interfere, isn't she?" wondered Ervas, as he began to clean the last remains of the battlefield, while Veronica and Sevapheso's fight continued unfolding, generating loud explosions and tremors all around.

??

"Veronica-sama seems to want to 'break her limits' as she said, Ervas-sama," said Legion at Ervas' side.

"Most likely, she is trying to push herself and see her limits… if she even has some. This enemy's resiliency seems like the perfect punching bag for her… But I am quite concerned. What if the Necromancer had made more of these things?" wondered Frank.

"I am confident that Veronica can defeat it!" said Gaia.

"Me too, me too. I am not saying it as if I didn't…" said Ervas.

"Your concern is well justified, Ervas-sama. And indeed, it would be quite troubling to defeat many of such enemies. Although their offensive capabilities and speed are quite clunky, their regeneration and resiliency might prove to be a big issue if they gather in big groups," said Lilith, who had come near Ervas just recently.

"This is actually a very important fight, Veronica is trying to find a way to kill these very resilient monsters, but the only way might be to break their souls," said Ervas.

"Thing is… she doesn't want to do that to Sevapheso, doesn't she?" asked Jason, who had just appeared, his enormous muscular body suddenly began to tighten as he slowly went back to a smaller and more compact size. This was a part of Jason's newly developed technique, 'Muscle Release' which made his entire body almost two times its original size, truly unleashing the herculean strength within his body.

"Of course, she doesn't, Veronica might seem savage when fighting, but her heart is still very soft… Well, like the boy," said Ismene, appearing not so long after Jason as a flash of light and flames by using one of her advanced spells that let her travel short distances at great speeds.

"Hm. Veronica wouldn't do something like that… But she surely wants to, she is getting all angry," said Anna, appearing not long after with a loud 'boom!' as her body crushed the dirt below, leaving a small spiderweb-shaped crater behind.

"Angry Veronica… She's scary…" said Gaia.

"Don't worry, that rage is not towards Sevapheso but towards the Necromancer. She is not only angry over the resiliency of the creature but also due to the Necromancer's wickedness to the point of completely transforming Sevapheso into… this. honestly, I know this not because I asked her, but due to your souls being connected. She had recently borrowed both Anir and Kelsus Fragments, so I got a bit of insight into her current emotions. I feel the same, to be honest," said Ervas.

"Indeed, that bastard not only plays with the dead spirits by torturing them so much to gain power, but he also plays with the innocent and little souls of children like this…! I can't help but want to beat the crap out of that guy as well!" said Jason as he gnashed his teeth.

"Hm, I think we all agree on that!" said Ismene.

"No doubt," said Anna.

"I would gladly torture every inch of his skeletal body!" said Lilith.

"Anyways, how are the children?" asked Ervas.

"We got them all, my lord!" said Gwendolyn as she spoke to Ervas through telepathy, although she was healing Desephise, she was also commanding many of the plant-type monsters.

"Yeah, I have barely lifted a finger, so I feel a bit frustrated… But Ainsley and Alder had used their wood to trap the kids inside their bodies, and now they were just knocked out by Nyar, Cthulhu, and Shogh," said Goliath through the same communication method.

"It is a bit harsh, but those kids are a bit insane, so taking aggressive measures is the only way for now…" said Ervas.

"Indeed, after all, you healed them all yesterday, being a bit rough on them won't hurt them more than the Necromancer had already done," said Jason.

"Man, I'm beat…" muttered Gaius, as he, Ragdaz, and Azra appeared near everyone else.

"That fight there… Shouldn't we go help Veronica-sama?" asked Ragdaz.

"She doesn't want more help than what she had gotten already, leave her be," said Ervas.

"Very well then… but that fight looks intense! Just what kind of monstrosity- I mean, what kind of powerful warrior is Veronica-sama?!" asked Ragdaz.

"Yeah, you could say she's a monstrosity sometimes," said Anna.

"No doubt," said Ismene.

"You know that I am hearing everything?!"

Suddenly, Veronica's voice resonated within everyone's armor!

"Gah… O-Of course!" said Ismene.

"It's not like you would get angry over that anyways!" said Anna.

"Ah well, not really! Anyways, if things get to the worst situation, I will ask for your help, but for now, keep on standby!" said Veronica.

"Sure," said Ervas.

"That guy… So, that's Sevapheso… So much for the talented kid to become this… Another of the Necromancer's puppets, and even a test subject of his newest invention…" muttered Azra.

"Do you know Sevapheso, Azra?" asked Gaius.

"Well yeah, we were living in the same stinky and freezing dungeon with the Necromancer as his subordinates. He was a talented kid, but his rage and the emotions he held were way too strong and unstable. But it seems that such a thing is a positive trait for the Necromancer, look at him using so much power and all…" muttered Azra.

"That power is…?" asked Gaius.

"Yep, it is the same kind of power that the Necromancer uses to enhance power through the overaccumulation and spend of negative emotions. Because Sevapheso is so filled with them, it is as if he never ran out of fuel," said Azra.

"That's such a bizarre ability. I've never seen someone capable of converting negative emotions into energy that can be converted into Mana amongst other things…" said Ismene.

"Is that magic even in our world? It doesn't even make sense within the magic fundamentals," said Anna.

"It might or not might be something that already existed. Or simply the resulting power emanated from the original power of this fragmented god, channeled into spells within the spectrum that it is already very familiar with. You could call these effects as expansions on Death Attribute Magic," said Ervas.

"The more I hear about Death Attribute Magic, the more and more it sounds like the ultimate cheat ability," said Ismene.

"It kind of is, being a rare attribute and all…" said Jason.

"Hm… But not everything is just as easy. If things keep being pushed too much, Sevapheso's memories and personality will be completely consumed by rage and the beasts possessing him…" said Azra.

"Don't worry, Veronica won't let that happen," said Ervas.

Everyone set their gazes towards Veronica's main body, who had become a giant demon covered in countless black scales, metallic armor pieces made into pointy blades, spears, and axes, alongside several skull-shaped decorations all around. The creature was over five meters, almost reaching the five and a half meters of Sevapheso's current size.

Her entire body was shrouded in dark clouds that constantly released black thunders, alongside slicing emerald wings. Her helmet was made into a skull-shaped head, with fiery crimson eyes and enormous horns that spiraled to the heavens.

Her arms had and were gigantic logs made out of black scales and metal. Her entire body was filled to the brim with the strong yet slimy and disgusting Bone Marrow of Anir's Fragment, while her outer body, aside from her armor, was covered in the Black Scales of Kelsus Fragment.

Her claws were suddenly shaped as enormous blades, spears, and axes, all converging into gigantic pieces of weapons that flashed towards Sevapheso with outstanding speed despite its enormous size!

CLASH!

"GGGRRAAAAH!"

Sevapheso's monstrous metallic maw roars as it opens its jaw filled with razor-sharp teeth made out of metal, intercepting Veronica's first arm with a strong bite, only to find itself breaking apart instead!

Veronica's second arm closes in, releasing dozens of techniques at the same time while also being infused by her spirit's magical auras and converged enhancing spells!

BOOM!

The hit breaks through Sevapheso's torso, opening an enormous hole within, where she quickly called upon the help of Shade, Ozgeth, Pete, and Feroya, infusing their power inside of the giant 'wound' as another loud explosion happened.

"GRRRRRYAAAAAAHH!"

A sharp pain surges through Sevapheso's entire soul, although he was not destroyed, the damage could not be simply ignored anymore!

The entity begins to tremble as it falters to move, failing to do anything.

Its Phantasmal Aura had managed to fight a lot at first, generating beasts and giant arms and claws, but that was easily destroyed by Veronica, who called such things as 'tricky illusions', despite being very advanced Death Attribute Magic Spells!

And just after that, Veronica's Phantasmagoric Aura, that of her own, which she had merged with her Abyssal Soul, suppressed Sevapheso's Aura with ease, slowly eroding it from its independent power over the young harpy.

"It seems that without our Aura, you're running out of moves!" said Veronica, as her arms shapeshifted into a giant blade and an axe, unleashing powerful techniques over Sevapheso's' body one after another.

Clash! Clash! Clash!

Sevapheso's began to shriek in agony as he could not bear with the pain anymore, the metallic beast possessing him stopped receiving his negative emotions, lacking fuel to continue to regenerate, and slowly detaching itself from the harpy man's mashed up corpse as if it were a disgusting mass of gray goo.

"GRRRYYYAAAAA!" it roared, jumping over Veronica like a ferocious and annoying vermin.

"There you are!" laughed Veronica, expanding her body into countless metallic tentacles filled with bone marrow and covered in dark scales, grabbing the metallic fiend, the faker that had given her an interesting challenge!

"Soul Break!" said Veronica, as the cracking noises of glass being broken resonated within the entire battlefield.

Crack, crack!

"GRRRYYYAAAAARRRHHH!"

Crack, crack!

The creature struggled, but Veronica had it where she wanted, using all of her might, the fiend could not escape, despite being a Rank 10 monster!

Veronica glanced at the creature's twisting soul as she spoke to it, knowing that the Necromancer was looking at the fight through it.

"You're next," she said, her cheerful voice suddenly changing into a serious and cold one, impacting the Necromancer, as even his soul shivered for a moment!

Crack, crack!

The beast cried for its last few seconds, as its soul revealed cracks all over it…

Veronica's Phantasmal Claws close as they break through the creature's soul once and for all.

"GRRRYYAAAAAARRR...!"

CRASH!

"It is done," said Ervas, glancing at the scene with a mild smile.
