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

Chapter 446 - Hekaton Acts

-----

Hekaton glanced at the scene down below unfold with a slight bit of concern.

??

"Hmph. He has way too many allies, and this half has not gone all out yet… it is constant containing all of its power, it is probably very cautious…"

"Although taking out his allies is not my purpose, I don't really care if they die or not either way."

"However, I designed these Familiar Spirits to kill him, if they are not close enough, he will not take enough damage…"

"These explosions have the power to shatter souls to an even greater level than their feeble Soul Breaks. Yet the Living Armor survived. Her soul is too abnormal…" sighed Hekaton.

Hekaton began to consider just how much had Veronica's soul evolved that she had the power to survive being shattered into pieces.

He had seen how she was shattered into pieces only for all these pieces to stick themselves together like nothing.

It was as if she was made of countless little souls instead of a large one… her soul nature was way too strange, similar to a Demon God, if not an Alien God, entities that trespassed worlds and traveled through many seeking a place to conquer and spread insanity and chaos.

Alien Gods were similar to Demon Gods, but they had attained even grotesque souls and had the power to travel through worlds, often following a strong leader.

"If her soul is like this… His soul should no be any different. It might as well be as strange… Although I cannot see it directly," said Hekaton.

Hekaton kept looking at the battle from Lucas and Mason's eyes, looking for the perfect chance to detonate them both and blast Ervas and his allies into pieces…

He was not worrying about Veronica because even if she survived, she hadn't shown up yet, meaning that she ended greatly weakened after the explosion.

Hekaton saw it as a victory, even if he was not able to kill her and shatter her soul, he was at least able to damage to a greater extent and incapacitate her for battle.

However, a second after…

A sharp, piercing pain-filled Hekaton's soul.

"Nnnghh…! Aaaaggghhh!"

The Transmigration God kneeled over the floor as he began to gasp, his hands were trembling, and a dreadful feeling took hold of his very being.

"It can't be… the Familiar Spirit I made explode… the soul fragments… they should have come back… that's why they have not come back… She's eating them!?"

Hekaton had finally realized that Veronica was eating the remains of his Familiar Spirit!

And more importantly, she was gaining more and more power while also eating Natalia's shattered soul that got mixed with the fragments of the Familiar Spirit!

Hekaton was so immersed in his own thoughts that he was not able to notice that Veronica was doing such a thing below his nose! He had given for granted that the Familiar Spirit fragments would go back to him eventually… but that they were taking longer than he had expected was not due to an odd delay, but that Veronica was eating them like snacks.

And because these Familiar Spirits were made from his own soul and were technically his own power, each fragment she ate was like a piercing pain into his very soul!

However, due to the difference in distance, the pain had been delayed a big while, until he was finally showered by it!

"This… So she had done that… She will most likely go try to save him, but that won't happen. I will find an opportunity before that," said Hekaton, as he stood up as if nothing, completely unfazed by the pain and completely expressionless as ever… although slight anger was already beginning to be built up inside of his calm mind.

Meanwhile, Veronica had already finished eating the last little piece of soul mixed from the Familiar Spirit of Hekaton that did Allahu Akbar and Natalia's soul.

She felt a rush of new power, as she quickly repurposed this power into the regeneration and strengthening of her soul, using all the power she got to dart towards Ervas like a shadow bullet!

FLASH!

"Ervas…!"

She had tried many times to talk to him through telepathy, but there was always a strange magnetic field that blocked long-ranged waves of mana, produced naturally by Mason.

Telepathy worked similarly to radio, one needed to send waves of mana to the target, and the waves had to cross long distances, the more delay there would be.

And due to this, it was possible for those that could disturb mana through strong auras or electromagnetism to block mana waves sent around them… Mason was doing this unintentionally.

"Veronica, how do you feel now?" asked Shade.

"I am fine, don't worry, I have to go help Ervas! We have to tell him about the bombs…!" said Veronica.

"But be careful, you have just finished healing your soul…" said Anna.

"It is just a little ache, nothing more!" said Veronica, reassuring everyone inside of her soul that she was as fine as always…

Meanwhile, as this happened, Lucas began to desperately summon Artificial God Spirits constantly, as several colorful figures emerged over and over again around him, defending him from Ervas' army of monsters and allies.

Ivy began to deal with a large sea snake-like water spirit, alongside a giant snake-like light and darkness spirit, entangling them and biting them viciously until they finally exploded into mana.

Nick fought against a giant covered in flames, a fire attribute spirit who roared furiously, hitting the ground constantly and unleashing flames everywhere.

Nick was not able to use Gwendolyn's help on this due to her weakness to flames, but thanks to her increase into his stats when she resided inside of his parasitized body, he unleashed his various Club Techniques with great masterfulness, crushing the fire giant after a few blows.

Goliath fought against a large dragon-shaped wind attribute spirit, who roared furiously and attacked with thunder and wind, attacking Goliath from the skies as Goliath evaded and took some hits with his great defenses and strong body.

Goliath quickly jumped from the ground as he charged his powerful combo attack in an instant, having charged enough power, he unleashed hundreds of fists in mere seconds, blasting into pieces the wind spirit.

Draconia attacked with both her electricity produced from her body, the strong vibrations and her potent fire breath, overpowering a cube-shaped Spatial Attribute Spirit that was trying to push her away through moving space slightly, however, her attacks reached it no matter the distance, managing to break it apart after some time.

However, as they kept fighting ad killing these slightly more resilient Spirits, Lucas kept summoning them fervently, while shielding himself with them!

He glared at Mason as he was once more fighting Jason… and now Ervas was also fighting him at close combat, father and son tried to overpower the Gravity God!

"Blazing Smash!" roared Jason, as he coated himself in flames and unleashed a series of powerful crushing attacks with flames, which Mason barely evaded, although the searing flames began to burn his skin quickly after.

Mason evaded as he unleashed a beam of electromagnetic energies towards Jason, who blocked it with his mace!

CLASH!

However, a second after, Ervas appeared by extending his large Void Form and using Void Embodiment, shaping it as giant claws!

"Don't forget about me…!"
