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

Chapter 58 - Side : Massacre

-----

The mercenary raided Ervas's village and immediately began to pillage, attack, and assault the women in their sight. ??

They seemed to have been waiting for this moment, and the look in their eyes was that of satisfaction, lust, and sadism.

Amidst the chaos, Ervas, a half-demon boy that only resembles a toddler of two years old with silky black hair with scarlet eyes glanced at the scene unfold.

Floating in the air by using the 'Flight' No-Attribute spell.

Moving to his every command, the plants he 'tamed' alongside some new non-monster plants appeared around him, following the large amount of mana that he was able to generate.

"Sticky Grass Sisters, parasitize that small fry and make them attack each other, Ivy, go for the big guy there, and the twins, attack those two wielding swords… the rest, can go wild and finish off the rest, spare the villagers though," said Ervas, nonchalantly.

"Shaaaa!" shouted Ivy, leading the massive amount of moving plants, some walked with their roots as feet, while others dived in the ground itself as if it were water.

A mercenary that had reached near where Ervas was, glanced at the scene unfolding in front of him.

A floating kid and a bunch of weird-looking plants rushing toward shim with murderous intentions.

"What the…? The hell is that? Did I drink too much booze? …eh?"

Suddenly, the mercenary felt a sharp pain, as if countless needles penetrated his right leg.

"Uaaghh!"

He fell on his butt as the dirty dagger he was holding fell to the ground. As he glanced towards his leg, he wound a strange amalgamation of grass sticking its sharp leaves inside of his flesh, and slowly moving to his torso!

"Uaaaghh! Stop, get off me! A monster! A monster!" he shouted, trying to take the dagger, and cut down the monster grass.

However, Gwendolyn, the strongest Sticky Grass was faster than him, extending her leaves around his arms and piercing his flesh with them, slowly seeping them deeper and deeper, until she reached the area she was looking for, the nerves.

The mercenary felt excruciating pain and cried in agony as Gwendolyn took his entire body over with the 'Parasite' Skill, moving it at her will.

"Gyaaaa! Help! Help…! It hurts, it hurts so much! I not moving on my own?! This feels horrib-"

Before the mercenary could cry any longer, Gwendolyn decided to cover its mouth with her grass, grabbing the dagger in the floor, she rushed towards more mercenaries and began to slash them in the back using the body of her new host.

Slash! Slash!

"Hey, what the hell is going on with that guy?"

"W-Why is the… eh? Plants? So many plants!"

"Monsters!"

"Plant-type monsters?! From where they appeared…?"

The rest of Gwendolyn's sister did the same as well, infecting the mercenaries from their feet, some tried to fend them off with their rusty weapons, but Ervas was there.

"Mana Bullet"

Flash!

From a considerable distance, he fired bullets made out of mana towards the struggling mercenaries, although the bullets were not enough to leave deep wounds, they were as strong as a blow from a hammer, their bones cracked immediately.

"Gaaaaah!"

"What is that? A mage?!"

"No one said that there was a goddamn mage in here!"

"These things ain't stopping!"

The mercenaries were then parasitized successfully, and all the Sticky Grass Sisters began their Experience Farming.

One of the parasitized mercenaries rushed towards a guy who was trying to run away, jumping over it and slashing its throat with sloppy movements.

The mercenary that was being parasitized began to cry apologizing to his companion, as he saw him die by blood loss.

The villagers saw the events unfolding with eyes wide open until one near Ervas noticed him.

"Eh? What is that thing?!"

"A ghost!"

"Hello, I am not a ghost. You may remember me as Ervas, the son of Jason," said Ervas, telepathically.

"Eh?!" exclaimed a villager.

"The Half Demon boy! He's floating in midair!" shouted a woman.

"So it was really a demon!" shouted an old man.

"Those plants are they in his command?" said a young villager.

"Run away from him, he's too strong, he will kill us all!" shouted the chief, losing his temper.

"Wait, don't run… Am I that scary?" wondered Ervas flying towards the sky and glancing at the village from above.

"Haah, the breeze is really refreshing, and the sun is very warm, I really needed this," he muttered, glancing down below, and commanding the plants like a tactician.

"Ervas! Get down here! Ervaaas! It's too dangerous! Listen to me, young man!" shouted Jason, desperate, as his son had suddenly begun to do too many crazy things for him to digest…

"I am fine dad, here, there are some plants to take care of you. How about you kill some mercenaries and gain some Experience Points?" asked Ervas.

"Experience Points?! Is that what you are thinking in such a dire situation?! We need to run away!"

"Just trust me. Look behind you. Mana Bullet," said Ervas, firing a transparent sphere of mana towards Jason.

"Eh?!"

Jason evaded it in time, but the bullet ended up hitting a mercenary behind him wielding an axe!

"Ugh…!" cried the mercenary, falling to the ground and vomiting blood, as the bullet hit his belly.

"Kill it," said Ervas.

"What the…? Okay, okay, I get it!" said Jason, grabbing on the sharp club made out of bones and horns created by his son and smashing the skull of the mercenary that fell over the ground, its head exploded like a watermelon.

"…Eh? Was I always that strong?" grimaced Jason, completely covered in blood and brains.

"I told you. There are two more coming for you and- Wait for a second," said Ervas, evading an arrow that almost pierced his shoulder.

He glanced down below and found two mercenaries above the roofs of a house, pointing their bows at him.

"That is the demon, he's controlling the plants! Fucking kill it!" shouted the bald man, who was fighting against Ivy.

"Shaaaa!" shouted Ivy, firing poisonous needles at the mercenary boss.

"Agh!"

The mercenary boss raised his shield as he protected himself… he did not even seem to have the Shield Technique Skill.

As Ervas made sure to support his plants by feeding them Mana and casting Life Attribute Spells to strengthen them with Gaia's help, he created a shield made out of pure kinetic energy to block the arrows firing at him.

"I wasn't capable of doing a shield of kinetic energy before with my Mana, this cost around ten thousand mana to do and maintain… It kind of crazy" said Ervas, as he felt his Mana already reaching two million.

"Mana Bullet… no, Mana Cannonball," said Ervas, strengthening the Mana Bullet and making it even bigger, resembling a heavy cannonball and firing it to the two archers over the roof of the houses.

"H-How did it block the arrows; it didn't even move…"

"Shut up and fire! …eh?"

Boom!

The massive Mana Cannonballs exploded against the two mercenaries, their bodies flying into pieces through the air.

Ervas felt a nice amount of Experience Points overflowing through his body, he then set his sight on the rest of the mercenaries, some of them were crying in agony while others were trying to set the plants ablaze but ended burning some houses.

"Oh well, collateral damage, right?" said Ervas.

"Ervas, so strong!" said Gaia.

"Me? Not really, they are just very weak, the standards of human mercenaries seem very low," said Ervas, flying near his father and firing two Mana Cannonballs towards the mercenaries that were trying to encircle him.

"Finish them off father," said Ervas.

"Ah! Alright!" said Jason, embracing the battle and smashing the heads of the dizzy mercenaries into a bloody pulp.

Smash! Smash!

"Good job," said Ervas, flying around the battlefield.

Although Jason seemed calm and cowardly, Ervas had to admit that he did have a talent for slaughtering with utmost brutality and strength. Those years refining his body through farming paid off, it seems.
