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

-----

Time rewinds itself a few minutes, as just after Veronica dragged Natalia down, Ervas took the initiative and fought against Mason, who was protecting Lucas behind him.

"NATALIAAAA!"

Mason saw how Natalia was dragged by Veronica's vicious abyssal soul and tried to stop her by unleashing a powerful Gravity Wave that even distorted the air itself and released small sparks of purple electricity.

However, Ervas quickly stopped him, darting towards him while enhancing his speed by generating large draconic wings out of his back through the use of Chimeric Demon Transformation.

Flash!

He expanded his soul and transformed it into Void Form, using Void Embodiment to use the pulling forces of his void within his soul to distort the gravitational forces that Mason was able to use, surprising him with his varied capabilities!

"Nngh…! Y-You…!" groaned Mason, protecting Lucas who was still unwilling to fight as he unleashed a wave of Gravitational forces and then manipulate the field of gravity around him, flying upwards while trying to escape from Ervas grasp!

However, Ervas waved his large, purple-colored ethereal Void Form Claws, destroying the electromagnetic gravitational forces released by Mason within seconds and flying upwards, chasing right back at his adversary!

"Y-You are way too fast for being a child!" said Mason.

"And you are way too surprised over something so insignificant…" said Ervas expressionlessly, as he decided to surprise Mason even more with his next move!

Ervas who already had equipped inside of his body all of his plants and Undead reached Mason and quickly let Ivy unleash her gigantic vines out of the palm of his hands, slashing through Mason's defensive gravitational barriers and breaking them easily, hitting against him with the power of her awakened Whip technique, Demon Vine Whip Technique!

Clash! Clash! Clash!

"T-These vines… how?! From where they appeared?! Agh…! And they move so fast… like actual living whips!" thought Mason, as he flew around and evaded Ivy's vines which expanded for over thirty meters, like deadly tentacles filled with sharp, metallic spikes filled with deadly poison!

Mason began to employ the powers he had forged in his previous life, which were transferred into this third life, such as his ability to use his Level 8 Shield Technique and Level 7 Armor Technique in conjunction with his Gravity Control Cheat, forming an armor and shields made of gravity and then unleashing these techniques with them to enhance their durability!

This way, he managed to offset the intense power of Ivy in time, although his powers oddly reminded of Ervas Psychokinesis, which he had used similarly, fusing a power that was invisible and not corporeal with techniques such as Armor Technique and Shield Technique.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Ervas was being extra cautious in this battle and used his Telescopic Vision Skill to glance from afar while following Mason around steadily, he used Ivy for a while until he had finally forced Mason to reveal that he was able to use shield and armor techniques with his gravity.

"Alright, let's be more aggressive this time, all of you, come out to play too," said Ervas, suddenly reaching Mason's side in a few jumps through space by using the Void Attribute Magic Spell "Warp"!

"EH?!"

Mason was left in shock once more, as Lucas screamed in surprise, finding the eerie young boy just a few meters away from them was truly a terrifying thing, especially by how fast he did it through the spells that seemed to be spatial magic!

"Could he have Spatial Magic?! No, Veronica didn't have any attribute affinity in her previous life! But maybe she got some in this third body of hers? This boy… he must be the other half that got separated from her… there is something even more sinister within him!" thought Mason through his High-speed Thought Processing Skill, as he immediately began to release several shockwaves of gravitational forces to get Ervas away from him, while stealthily readying a new Spell to surprise him afterward!

Ervas was barely bothered by Mason's attacks, as he used his Phantasmagoric Aura in combination with his Void Form and Void Embodiment to create an Aura of Void, unleashing it into powerful waves of sucking forces that absorbed the electromagnetic forces that made up these gravitational attacks, negating them within a few seconds of touching them! It was as if Ervas was the perfect counter against Mason's Cheat Ability!

As Ervas said "come out", suddenly enormous branches made of dark wood covered on black auras emerged one after another out of Ervas body quite grotesquely, it was the three Ent Siblings that Ervas raised since they were little saplings, the three Giant Grand Spectral Cursed Tree Ents, Ainsley, Alder, and Anna!

"Guuuooooon…!"

The three giant Ents expanded their branches monstrously over Mason's sight, forming large arms and attacking him from all sides, easily breaking through his defensive attacks!

They began to form giant hammers of hardened, iron-like wood and started to hit him from all sides, Mason was having an incredibly hard time just keeping up with this power!

However, his spell was finally ready, as he suddenly smirked!

Mason, aside from having his Gravity Cheat Ability, was a master of Spatial Magic, although not as masterful as the Spatial Architect, Roberto, he had polished such magic and combined it with his Gravity Cheat, managing to create truly powerful Spells which he had no time to showcase when he died on his previous life due to trying to protect Catalina while fighting!

"This is what you deserve for trying to provoke me! Pocket Black Hole!" said Mason, as he unleashed the many magic runes he was conjuring and generated a powerful spell combining spatial magic and his gravity cheat!

The space into the direction he pointed with his spell started to distort in mere milliseconds, as the spatial layers loosened and generated a hole within the fabric of space, a small black hole!

The black hole started to absorb everything at sight, crushing the Ent's wood and sucking it viciously!

Ervas quickly called his Ents back as he began to immediately heal them while they groaned.

Mason used this opportunity to escape a few more meters away from Ervas grasp, as Ervas was not able to ignore the Black Hole due to being caught into its powerful gravitational force from too close.

Similar to his Ginnungagap Spell, this Pocket Black Hole had the power to about anything and crush it within its enormous gravitational force, turning everything into nothing!

However, it seemed to have 

large Mana requirement and seemed to also take a toll on Mason's mind, making him incredibly exhausted, which forced him to escape right away after using it, showing Ervas that he was not able to use it consecutively.

Ervas decided to quickly fend off the Pocket Black Hole before it was to dissipate naturally by using his own Void Form and Void Embodiment Skills, using his very phantom and soul and devouring the entire Pocket Black Hole, the enormous force sucking force of his Void was even superior to this measly Pocket Black Hole, easily devouring it and freeing Ervas from its gravitational pull!

Ervas glanced back at Mason who was already over 50 meters away from him, and through Warp and the use of his draconic wings to move the winds faster, he reached him after a few blinks through space!

"You won't be able to run away from me…" he said, horrifying Mason!

"Eh?! You dealt with my Pocket Black Hole so fast?!" asked Mason in disbelief.
