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

-----

Meanwhile, Catrina was trembling in fear as Veronica's floating head glanced at her from above.

"Oh? Did you think you killed me? Because you were actually right, I am a Living Armor! Or well, something like that," laughed Veronica, remaking a new body out of her neck as her second body stood up and made a new head, as two identical Veronica stood next to each other!

"L-Living armor?! But how can you replicate yourself?!" asked Catrina, quickly standing up as she raised her blades while trembling, she seemed to not be terrified because of seeing her move by herself or because she was something like an Undead, Catrina was terrified by Veronica's immense aura, so incredibly big, dark, abyssal, and thick that it made her instinctively quiver in fear, the pressure of Veronica's very existence and presence made her almost feel like her life was being sucked out of her body.

"No time to talk!" said Veronica, rushing towards Catrina as Catrina released a storm of ice winds desperately, slicing through the wind with her blades made it possible for her to generate such powerful storms in an instant!

However, the clone of Veronica simply coated herself in black flames and rushed through the icy winds, reaching Catrina in an instant!

Veronica's soul expanded into giant arms of abyssal darkness, wrapping Catrina!

"UAGH…! Let me go, you monster! Unngh…!" she cried, but she felt completely powerless as if all the power she had built through all these years was… nowhere to be seen!

Suddenly, she noticed that her lifeless body had fallen over the ground and that Veronica's crimson eyes had suddenly turned very beautiful!

"Eh? What…?"

Veronica had simply wrapped her soul around her body, and Catrina's entire body was just… taken out of her body, killing her instantly!

"See? You should have never bothered coming here… you ended wasting a lot of time," sighed Veronica.

"Please, forgive me!" cried Catrina's soul, prostrating before Veronica.

"I really should just eat you up…" sighed Veronica.

Meanwhile, Loid and Albert were stiff in shock, Gregor and Catrina were killed in less than ten seconds since they beheaded Ervas and Veronica!

"T-This… How…?!" asked Loid, his lips trembling in fear as his eyes seemed to be filled with despair.

"Loid… these monsters strength is… Hurry, run!" said Albert.

"What are you talking, Albert?!" asked Loid.

"You are young… You shouldn't waste away your life! I might look like this, but I am actually quite old… I will hold them off, you run using your electricity!" said Albert, as the paladins around him quickly readied their weapons!

"Albert… you can't possibly…!"

"RUN!" roared Albert, as Loid gritted his teeth, enhancing his body with electricity and darting away like a spark of thunder!

FLAAASH!

The split souls glanced at the scene rather than moved.

"How noble of you," said Ervas.

"Don't worry, I already got him," said Veronica, as Albert noticed that her clone was nowhere to be seen!

"Eh?! W-When?!"

Meanwhile, Loid gritted his teeth as he rushed with immense speed using his Unique Skill [Electro Master], a power gifted to him when he was born by the Gods. This was the power that he had used to get where he was now, as a famous and acclaimed hero of the country!

"Shit! Shit! Shit! Just how strong were those monsters?! Beheading them didn't work and they can even manipulate minds?! They forced Gregor to kill himself!" thought Loid.

"Damn, you're so fast… Maybe we should rename you like Sonic," said Veronica, emerging at the side of Loid at the same speed if not faster than him!

"EH?!"

"Hey, have you ever experienced what is being beheaded?" asked Veronica, as she moved so incredibly fast that Loid wasn't even able to notice, and then, a sharp pain took hold of his neck as his head began to fall off his still-moving body.

His body quickly tripped on the ground and ended all crushed due to the speed and friction, ending like a disfigured corpse…

"Hm, I suppose you were not really that fast," thought Veronica, as the soul of Loid at her side was kneeling for forgiveness.

Flash!

Veronica's clone quickly flashed back to where Selene was, as she threw the head and Albert saw the head of Loid falling over the ground, his tongue was out and his eyes completely white, it was a terrifying scene that shook the noble heart of the Battle Pope!

"LOID?!" He screamed in despair, as the horrifying scene didn't stop there, as all the paladins around him suddenly fell over the ground like puppets that lost their strings.

Veronica used her divinity to gather their souls around her, extracting them directly from the body as if it were nothing at all!

"Ah! E-Everyone?!" cried, Albert.

"As you can see, it was hopeless from the start," said Ervas.

"Do you understand why we were so aloof about what you were talking to us beforehand, the pope?" asked Veronica.

"Ahh… W-What kind of monsters are youuuu?!" roared Albert, raising his weapon and trying to slash Ervas with it!

CLASH!

However, Ervas stopped the immense weapon with his extended black nail, without even putting much intent into it…

"Eh?!"

"A Legendary Orichalcum Sword imbued with the soul of a heroic god, that will be a nice snack, I guess," said Ervas, quickly grasping the blade with his claws and shattering it, despite being an orichalcum blade, of a metal that shouldn't be easy to shatter, to begin with!

CRASH!

And then…

"Nnnnnngggggrrrrryyyyyaaaahhh!"

The agonizing cry of the god infused into the blade resonated through the entire world, as Ervas devoured it instantly!

Albert could clearly see how Ervas was biting something between his jaws and then swallowing it.

"It was like eating a tiny gummy bear I guess…" he sighed.

"H-He ate a god?!" cried Albert.

"Now die," said Veronica, a mere word caused instant death on Albert, as his body was suddenly wrapped by the embrace of Death itself and his soul taken away from it, as his fresh corpse fell motionlessly into the ground…

Albert's soul emerged at the side of Veronica, pleading to be punished.

"Well that was quite easy…" said Ervas, as the split souls suddenly noticed the weapons and equipment infused with the Heroic Gods trembling…
