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

Chapter 727 - The Problems Of Mortals

-----

After the incidents where Veronica and Ervas descended from the skies and inspected Eden's jungles, they were suddenly found out by a talking bird-like girl, which was in fact a former squid-like sea snail descendant?!

Indeed, after they met with Manationia, the young and big talker of the race of sapient bird-like squid people, they learned a lot about stuff they didn't knew, and even learned from her that it was said that the goddesses went to sleep in the moon, where they finally found Yggdrasil and the twins there.

As a gift, the split souls had gifted Manationia a very beautiful and suspicious-looking golden apple, which she devoured at the end and gained unprecedented magical power. Once thought to be untalented at Singing and using magic, she suddenly awakened all her Mana Veins across her body, and even gained some more new ones. Her entire core became infused with magic and her magical power increased several times over.

However, since then, the split souls disappeared, and the young Manationia had been left on her own after that.

After such a big incident, she couldn't really believe what had truly happened, and she had gone to sleep that night thinking she would wake up realizing this was all just a dream.

However the next day she found out it might not had been a dream, her powers developed more, and her entire body exuded a bright aura of mana… she could sign as well, saying the incantations she heard from other Singers would summon the elements, and there seemed to not be a limit.

In Eden, the people of this world cannot really sign all elements, often only limited to the affinity they're born with which is usually at most three elements, but Manationia realized she could conjure not one, or two, or three elements, but many, all of the ones she could even come out with!

Because she was a humble little girl obsessed with singing, she had written all the songs in a notebook, so when she woke up she quickly went to grab this book and began using all the spells she had ever heard, all of them worked, and she almost blew up the Inn room where she was staying, making the owner rather angry at her, although he suddenly stopped being so rude as h realized she was a Singer… nonetheless, she still had to find some gold coins and pay the things she accidentally burned with fire and lightning.

However, even now, she couldn't help but feel eternally grateful to these mysterious figures, which she called Gods… she had learned their names from before, the young man was named Ervas while the lady was Veronica. Their appearances were strange, although she had seen such shapes in the fossils found of Erveronians, and the ruins of such ancient people that Manationia's race had found out some years ago.

In the days after, she began to wonder if these Gods were the creators of such ancient race… and if that was the case, could they still be living in the moon, finding the other twin goddesses that the tree had once told the people to worship?

She wondered this but as the days went by, nothing really happened as she simply decided to live off her dream using the amazing new magical talent given to her by the two gods. She had decided that she had to earn some money too as well, as she wouldn't be able to pay her money debt without earning money to begin with!

"Ugh, I got strong magic but to enter the Singer Academy I need money because I am not of any aristocrat family!? This sucks!" she thought in that time.

She had wandered around the town of Yggdrann as she saw many people doing their own things, she even had considered using her powers to assault people and steal their money, but that would only bring her disgrace. She was a good girl and a good person, her mother and her father had raised her into becoming someone that had to be honored, and she didn't wanted to disgrace them after they had died several years ago out of a disease that had struck their village.

In fact, one of her goals to come here was making money and using magic to become a Singer and then a Pharmacist. She wanted to investigate diseases and find cures to them using both her knowledge in herbs and also magic itself… she knew that this place was the most advanced in magic all around the entire continent, so she had to come here and fulfill her dream to cure the disease that took away her parents from her.

"Mom… dad… What should I do now? I wasn't prepared enough I guess…" she sighed.

However, a burly and large man suddenly showed up behind her, his entire face covered in scars. In that day Manationia thought she would kill for the first time because she thought this man was going to assault her. She had indeed ended going around the slums, incidentally.

"You… little girl…"

"CRAA! W-What do you want?"

"Hehe… You look like you need a penny…"

The man looked at her as his sharp and harpoon-shaped black beak seemed to point towards her…

"H-Huh? D-Don't get any closer, or I'll… attack!" she said.

"Good, that's the spirit, if you don't fight then there's no point on it!" he laughed.

In that time, Manationia really thought she was going to be assaulted. However, at the end…

"Here it is! If you are strong enough you can join this place and fight it off against other people. We don't call this the arena for nothing! The prizes are a bunch of money and other magical items, so why don't you give it a try? I sensed you had some Mana in you so you're a Singer, right?" asked the big, black and gray-feathered man.

"Y-Yes… How did you knew?!" she had asked.

"Hehe, they call me the Gray Sage, you know?" he said.

"G-Gray Sage… Huh?! You're one of the top five Singers in the entire city!" she said.

However, when she turned over, the man was gone…

And Manationia stood there, looking at the Arena.

"I might… I might as well give it a try…"
