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

-----

Just as Ervas had finished changing Jobs and evolving, Veronica glanced at her available Jobs, while being accompanied by Shade and Ozgeth.

Aqua and Charlotte now had their own rooms, and Sevapheso and Feroya, despite being her close ghosts, lived in their separate room as well.

"My lady, will you change Jobs once more?" asked Ozgeth.

"I am a bit surprised that I can change Jobs and even evolve right away, I just did it a few days ago… I guess killing a Rank 12 Monster really does gives wonderful exp… Finally, I will be able to become Rank 10… Anyways, it would be better to change Jobs first though, right?" asked Veronica.

"I wonder what crazy thing you will get now…" said Shade.

"I hope it is insane, in fact. Anything that can help me grow stronger to be well prepared for things is welcomed…" said Veronica.

This Job increases the proficiency and usage of any techniques using this Skill, alongside any other physical battle-oriented Skill such as any Technique.

"Huh… All of them are looking kind of amazing… But I should pick some Job that I can level up straight away… There should be some that I should be able to get through quickly… Hm… How about this one?"

[Tartarus Executioner]

A Job unlocked by someone whose soul is close to death, becoming similar to Tartarus.

This Job increases the power of physically-oriented fighting Skills, alongside their effectiveness and proficiency, alongside anything Death-related.

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Tartarus Executioner]!]

[The Levels of the [Superhuman Strength; Level 7], [Strength Enlargement: Level 5], [Light and Life Resistance: Level 3], [Golem Transmutation; Level 9], [Soul Binding; Level 9], [Dominate Created Undead; Level 9], [Charge; Level 9], [Abyssal Metallic Demon Fighting Technique: Level 2], [Javelin Technique; Level 8], [Axe Technique; Level 6][Sword Technique: Level 3], [Limited Death Attribute Magic: Level 3], [Butcher; Level 3], [Self-Enhancement: Murder: Level 5], and [Murder Healing: Level 5] Skills have increased!]

[The [Soul Binding: Level 10] Skill has awakened into [Soul Sealing: Level 1]!]

[The [Dominate Created Undead: Level 10] Skill has awakened into [Govern Created Undead: Level 1]!]

The moment Veronica changed Jobs, several Skills leveled up, more than she had imagined.

Alongside this, four of them reached Level 10, automatically awakening into stronger versions and resetting back their level to 1.

"Amazing! Four more awakened Skills…" said Veronica.

"Oh? My lady has awakened new Skills? Impressive! I have yet to awaken one…" said Ozgeth.

"I am sure that you will get to it soon enough," said Veronica.

"What about me? I don't even have Skills!" said Shade.

"Haha! Come on, maybe you will one day," said Veronica, as she checked her new awakened Skills.

[Abyssal Charge: Level 1/10]

The awakened version of Charge.

By enveloping yourself on your abyssal soul, charge towards your enemy while temporarily increasing your Strength, Defense, and Speed exponentially.

[Golem Creation: Level 1/10]

The awakened version of Golem Transmutation.

By using a ridiculous amount of Mana, this Skill grants the user the ability to create matter to bring forth golems without the necessity of needing preexisting materials.

[Soul Sealing: Level 1/10]

The awakened version of Soul Binding.

This skill grants the user not only the power to bind souls into objects or corpses, but also seal them into the designed item.

[Govern Created Undead: Level 1/10]

The awakened version of Dominate Created Undead.

By exerting your authority over the dead that you create, you can immediately govern over their emotions and minds, making them your loyal subordinates. 

"Oh?! W-Woah… So I can create matter now? …Wait, wasn't I able to do that already with my Armory Skill anyways?" wondered Veronica.

She suddenly raised her arm, as she willed it, pouring 100 million Mana into the palm of her hand.

Flash!

And then… A large pile of gold nuggets appeared on the floor, flooding almost the entire room.

"Guaagh!"

"W-What the?! Veronica?!" asked Shade.

"My lady, what is this?" asked Ozgeth.

"Ooh… It seems that I got a pretty OP Skill, that's all…" said Veronica, absorbing back the gold nugget piles into her body.

"Well, aside from that, I can seal souls… I don't know how useful this might be, but it's pretty cool so far…" said Veronica.

Veronica thought that she might ask Kireina about its uses later on, as she felt the rush of Job Experience Points quickly filling up.

What was the best way to level up an executioner Job?

Well, to execute things, to kill them.

So Veronica sent a strong Clone towards the Mountain's Labyrinth and started to slaughter Earth Dragons until she got enough proficiency.

"If this were a newer Job, it wouldn't be so easy to level it up like this… Although part of it being an executioner might have helped on it too, I don't think it might be the same with the other Jobs…" thought Veronica.

Ding!

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[User's Job has reached Level 100!]

"Now… up to the next Job… This one~!" said Veronica.

[Abyssal Soul Demon Armor]

A Job unlocked by a Living Armor whose soul is shrouded within the Abyss.

This Job increases the level of your armor-related Skills, alongside anything Soul, Phantom, and Death-related.

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Abyssal Soul Demon Armor]!]

[The Levels of the [Abyssal Soul: Level 9], [Spectral Form: Level 1], [Soul Materialization: Level 8], [Phantom Materialization: Level 8], [Dead Spirit Magic: Level 5], [Aura of Fear; Level 8], [Armory; Level 5], [Limited Death Attribute Magic: Level 4], [Shield Technique; Level 9], and [Armor Technique; Level 9] Skills have increased!]

[The [Abyssal Soul: Level 10] Skill has awakened into [Abyssal Tartarus Soul: Level 1]!]

[The [Shield Technique: Level 10] Skill has awakened into [Living Demon Shield Technique: Level 1]!]

[The [Armor Technique: Level 10] Skill has awakened into [Living Demon Armor Technique: Level 1]!]

[Abyssal Tartarus Soul: Level 1/10]

The awakened version of Abyssal Soul.

Your Soul is now shrouded in the endless abyssal shadows, so vast that it resembles the darkness within the Tartarus, the deep underworld where the souls of the fallen rest in silence.

You can now reflect external effects with even more power and proficiency, while also letting your soul and shadow be used as an internal space through the combination of Space Expansion.

The strength, flexibility, and power of your soul increases as the level of this Skill does.

[Living Demon Shield Technique: Level 1/10]

The awakened version of Shield Technique.

You wield your own body as a shield, using it to block external attacks and defend yourself while being able to manipulate your shield and use it to attack as well.

The proficiency and durability of your shield increase exponentially while using any technique within this Skill.

New Techniques can be designed and created with more ease.

[Living Demon Armor Technique: Level 1]

The awakened version of Armor Technique.

You wield your entire body like armor, being able to shape it in many ways to defend yourself.

The proficiency and durability of your armor increase exponentially while using any technique within this Skill.

New Techniques can be designed and created with more ease.

"Finally! My Shield and Armor Technique finally awakened…!"

Since Veronica was reborn in this world as a Living Armor, she had used her own armor body to unleash both armor and shield techniques, which always came in help whenever she fought against threats that exceeded her strength.

Now that these Technique Skills awakened, it felt like the System itself acknowledged Veronica's body as what it was being used for the techniques themselves.

"And alongside this… my soul really feels way bigger now…"

Veronica stared at her own soul, finding that there was a rather large internal space inside, as it seemed that the effect of the Space Expansion Skill made it even vaster.

She was already able to store Undead and Shade inside of her Soul, but now she seemed to be able to even fit a whole town of people inside…

Although it was not really a pretty place, as it was completely dark everywhere, there seemed to be a floor where people could stand and not simply float aimlessly.

"Perhaps… if I develop this enough, I might finally become able to protect my people?" wondered Veronica.

Veronica began to think about the possibilities that were saving people inside of her own soul.

Now that her Abyssal Soul had become so vast and open, she even began to fantasize about setting a whole country inside.

Although because everything was pitch black, she would need to do a lot of adjustments and stuff, more than she was capable of doing as of now…
