Chapter 415 - Job Changing A Lot And...
-----
Without further ado, Veronica changed Jobs once more, deciding to abuse this "broken" System of hers, which had become like this because it was a copied version of the original System that Vedon and Lamus inserted into the depths of her soul and that of Ervas.
??
It began to develop a lot of functions on its own, and it seemed to faintly work according to the expectations of its user, although it dint obey them right away.
Also, any power it gave was not generated out of somewhere else nor from a source, and it was most likely all this power that Veronica had already acquire beforehand by simply developing herself, which simply had to be unlocked.
And the fastest way to unlock it was by changing Jobs continuously, the older the Job was, the more she had already unlocked it is, so the faster it was to level it to max level in a matter of minutes.
Perhaps if Veronica were to develop her Soul enough, she would be able to control the System better.
[You changed Jobs to [Invoker of Accursed Graveyards]!]
[All of your Stats have increased!]
[Skill Proficiency earned]
[The Levels of the [Knowledge Library: Level 1], [Hostility: Level 1], [Mechanical Factory: Level 1], [Deformed Soul: Level 3], [Guidance: Redemption Path: Level 3], [Redemption Path Enticement: Level 3], [Yin: Level 6], [Life and Death Cycle: Level 4], [Cursed Graveyard of the Dead Creation: Level 6], [Mind Encroachment: Level 3], [Curse Synthesis: Level 7], [Dead Spirit Fusion: Level 8], [Phantasmagoric Aura: Level 9], [Curse Eater: Level 5], [Emotion Manipulation and Absorption: Level 5], [Death Thread Reeling Technique: Level 2], [Demonic Mechanical Cannon Technique: Level 3], [Death Attribute Magic: Level 5], [No-Attribute Magic; Level 9], [Chaos Attribute Magic: Level 4], [Mana Control; Level 8], [Spirit Magic; Level 8], [Dead Spirit Magic: Level 7], and [Unhealing Cursed Wounds; Level 5] Skills have increased!]
No new Skills either this time around!
However, Veronica felt like her Skill, the Cursed Graveyard of the Dead Creation Skill had gained some kind of extra effect…
Alongside being able to teleport herself around them, she was able to design specific Undead or groups of Undead to appear in different Graveyards that she had created around!
Suddenly, everything became something like a strategy game!
By leaving graveyards everywhere around Seashore, she could completely surround the entire town with Undead if she wanted by managing as many groups as she wanted around, teleporting them at each graveyard she wanted.
Of course, she would never do such a thing… But perhaps she may if enemies arose in some kind of way.
Ding!
[The [No-Attribute Magic; Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Hollow Demon Queen Magic: Level 1] Skill!]
"Hm? Oh… That name, it is my previous life Awakened No-Attribute Magic Skill! Fufu, so Ervas did not get it but I did! He got… Void King Magic I think, meanwhile, I got the old one! …Well, not like it changes much, I don't use No-Attribute Magic as much, but it comes useful sometimes," thought Veronica.
Veronica quickly began to create Accursed Graveyards using her clones around Seashore, setting them up in between the forests and behind the large walls, most people would not notice them because those were areas where not many people walked through, and they were simply graveyards, people would just think that other people died there and would even offer a prayer to Qadall, the keeper of souls and the god of death, maybe.
And as she set more Accursed Graveyards, she expanded more and more the areas she could teleport into.
Before changing jobs, she felt like she had a limited amount of Graveyards she could set, being up to 5, but now, she felt like he could easily set up to 20 without feeling a certain limitation.
After enough graveyards were set, Veronica's level began to raise to 100.
Ding!
[The Level of your Job has increased from Level 1 to Level 17]
Ding!
[The Level of your Job has increased from Level 17 to Level 25]

[The Level of your Job has increased from Level 38 to Level 49]
…

[The Level of your Job has increased from Level 95 to Level 100]
"And done!"
Veronica had finally maxed out another Job, and was ready to take on the next one right away!
This next Job seemed to be of interest for Veronica, perhaps to accomplish her futuristic mech dream.
[You changed Jobs to [Living Demonic Mechanical Undead]!]
[The Levels of the [Spectral Six Senses: Level 4], [Monstrous Strength; Level 4], [Super Strength Enlargement: Level 3], [Slime Binding Technique; Level 7], [Group Thought Processing: Level 4], [Super-Fast Speed Thought Processing: Level 4], [Transcend Limits: Clones: Level 4], [Constant Mana Recovery: Level 2], [Super Increased Mana Recovery Rate: Level 2], [Super Strengthened Attribute Values: Legion: Level 2], [Spectral Decapitating Axe Technique: Level 3], [Demon Blade Technique: Level 1], [Death Attribute Magic: Level 6], [Mana Control; Level 9], [Spirit Magic; Level 9], [Dead Spirit Magic: Level 8], [Precise Body Form Manipulation: Level 1], [Remote Independent Body Control: Level 1], [Body Size Alteration; Level 9], [Fission; Level 9], [Crafting; Level 6], [Blacksmithing; Level 6], [Engineering: Level 6], [Construction: Level 6], [Tailorship: Level 5], [Architecture: Level 7], [Magic Fighting Technique; Level 8], [Space Expansion; Level 8], [Comfort Maintenance; Level 8], [Rough Road Travel; Level 7], [Precise Driving; Level 7], [Archery: Level 6], [Electrify: Level 7], [Blaze: Level 3], and [Gust: Level 3] Skills have increased!]
[The [Mana Control; Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Precise Mana Control: Level 1] Skill!]
[The [Spirit Magic; Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Spiritual Demon Queen Magic: Level 1] Skill!
[The [Body Size Alteration; Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Precise Body Size Alteration: Level 1] Skill!]
[The [Fission; Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Endless Body Division: Level 1] Skill!]
Many Skills leveled up and four Skills awakened!
All of such Skills were abilities that Veronica has been wielding since she started her journey in Mirror Kritias.
Due to her great Mana Control ability, she became able to control mana more precisely.
Meanwhile, her Body Size Alteration also became "precise" and Fission turned into something pretty weird!
"Endless Body Division?"
Fission already could let Veronica divide her body into small pieces, clones, which she developed and gave various shapes and sizes, however, it seemed that now it was cataloged as an endless division of her body through the Skill.
[Endless Body Division: Level 1/10]
The ability to divide your body into endless parts, an ability that was already within your powers and has been simply made official through this ability.
However, creating too many Clones may result in the overload of our mind, but you can always use your multiple minds for that anyways.
Your clones are not as strong as you but can be assigned certain Skills that you possess which they can use, however, for stronger clones, precision in the creation of them is needed, alongside more mass and mana.
…
"I see… So that is how it is… Well, nothing changes except I can do this more freely I suppose," thought Veronica.
However… aside from this Skill, there was another amazing Skill…
Spirit Magic had awakened into Spiritual Demon Queen Magic!
Once more, this Skill had awakened to its previous version that Veronica had as Anastacia, with the same name and effect, that of enhancing her spells using Spirits.
However, Veronica could say that she can't compare to her former self as Anastacia, who was able to wield all the Spirits of the Elements, even the rare Death Spirit and the Void Spirit, which were… all lose when she died.
She wondered if those Spirits were still in the Original Kritias or not… but if she were to find them, it would certainly fill her with happiness to see her old friends and parental figures.
Indeed, parental figures.
As Veronica grew as Anastacia, she always lacked parental figures, but from a very young age, she managed to find many Spirits through her young years, and each Spirit ended up serving her as a parental figure, teaching her many things.
She still remembers Gaia back then, who was a very ancient Spirit, way more ancient than Ervas Gaia is, who seems to be a young spirit… she was very knowledgeable and taught her many things about magic and even about the values of life and what she needed to do with her won life.
Veronica held such spirits within her heart, and Shade, who was a new member of such a group as well.
And as she noticed it, he was undergoing a few changes…
"Hmmm?! W-What's going on?!"
Shade who was currently sleeping inside of Veronica's soul was startled by the changes occurring to him.
The moment Veronica awakened her Spirit Magic Skill, it was as if he began to evolve.
His entire body became bigger, like a giant, crimson eyeball covered in dark scales.
His tail grew even larger and thick, with scales and a pointy end.
He gained long, vampire-like wings, and giant pointy horns atop his eyeball body.
There was also a shining star resting atop his head as if it were a crown.
His entire new body exuded an aura of magnificence…
"Yep, this is what happened to them back then too…" said Veronica.
"Eh? He changed…?" asked Anna.
"You awakened Spirit Magic, nice," said Ervas.
"Have I evolved or something?" wondered Shade.
"More or less. You have become what our Spirits in our previous lives were, Grand Spirits," said Veronica.
"O-Oh… I feel a bit more real," thought Shade.
"Oh? Interesting…" said Kireina.
"Shade, before this you were a High Spirit, but now, you had become a Grand Spirit, just a step before the level that only the ancient Spirit Queen reached, the Divine Spirits," said Veronica, petting Shade's enormous body.
"O-Oh, I see… Well, my body feels rather… solid? I believe. Although I am still quite ethereal as well. It is truly a mystery…" said Shade.
"Hmm… Yes, I think it should be possible now…" said Kireina while rubbing her chin.
"Hm? What are you planning now?" asked Ditoyle to Kireina.
"Don't get like that, I am just planning something to help Veronica out a bit…" said Kireina, as she approached the two, touching Shade with her hand.
"Kireina?" asked Shade.
"Oh, didn't you wanted a body more fitting for Veronica, Shade?" asked Kireina.
"Eh? What do you mean?" asked Shade.
"Kireina, do you know away? I think you once said something about letting Shade become "real"…" said Veronica.
"Indeed I can… The requirements have been met now, so… I have to use this Phantom Soul Attribute Magic Spell and… Ethereal Reconstruction, Ethereal Transformation, Soul Creation, Soul Materialization…" said Kireina, conjuring four unique Spells that she already knew from her original world, filling Shade with new light!
Shade began to feel as if his entire body was changing, evolving, and transforming even more!
"Ungh…! W-What is going on?!"
Flash!
Suddenly, Shade's entire body was shrouded in shadows.
"We need a catalyst now… Something that he could hold strong emotions towards and also a lot of mana and magic mass," said Veronica.
"Oh! I guess you can use this for mass," said Veronica, as she gave Kireina a lot of the meat of Nyarlathotep they had saved, alongside Anir's Bone Marrow, Monster Bones and Meat (mostly of dragons of high rank), Kelsus Scales, and the Retinas and Lens as well…
Flash!
All the mass began to gather inside of the shadows, as Kireina seemed to have begun to sculpt something…
"Let's take… a humanoid shape, there. The rest of your appearance depends on what you see yourself as, Shade, so make sure to think it through now!" said Kireina, as Shade began to transform!
"Nnngh…! W-What am I… becoming?!" asked Shade, as he suddenly felt his voice strangely high-pitched… and coming from a fleshy body within him, containing his existence and at the same time fusing with it.
It was a strange feeling to actually have a physical body.
As the shadows dissipated… the figure of a beautiful woman emerged beneath it.
Her skin was pale white, but she was also covered in black scales over her arms and feet, which ended with long claws, she had long bat-like wings at her back and a long and thick tail, scaled, and with a pointy tip.
She had long black hair, and a large and single crimson eye in the middle of her face, like a cyclops.
She had two long and spiky demonic horns surging from her head, and supernatural beauty.
Her hips were decently wide, her size petite, and her chest was… decent.
"Oh? What a surprise, is this what you wanted?" wondered Kireina.
"I-I…" muttered Shade, glancing at his own, new body.
"Oh, so cute! Shade, you finally have a body!" said Veronica, while hugging Shade.
"T-This is… this is weird! It feels so weird to touch things! To smell… scent? Is this scent? And my mouth… I have a mouth, and a tongue too! How wonderful! Everything just feels so different now! So this is… living?" wondered Shade.
"Indeed! Welcome to the mortal flesh! …Oh? I see that you got both down there, nice," said Veronica, noticing Shade's assets, who seemed to have… both.
"I think I have developed the feeling of embarrassment… Please, give me some clothes," sighed Shade.
