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

-----

"Grrryyyaaaarrrrr!!!"

??

BOOM! CLASH! CRASH!

A thunderous tremor filled a large room within the depths of the labyrinth where Veronica was born, our party of heroes had finally reached the last floor, and confronted the new dungeon boss, and the self-proclaimed ruler of the dungeon.

The creature seemed to have come from the depths of hell, an enormous and elongated structure of hundreds of silver-colored metallic plates stuck together made up its exoskeleton, as it possessed thousands of tiny and sharp as swords legs that scratched the surface of the dungeon and its foes with great vigor and fierce rage.

Its enormous head was decorated with long and metallic horns that released sparks of raging thunder, while its jaws threw enormous spheres of corrosive and poisonous acid towards its enemies, the creature moved at an immense speed across the large hall, as it threw roaring thunder and spheres of acid from its horns and mouth, while the rest of its body fiercely tried to crush its enemies by its weight alone. The fiend's height was over thirty meters long, with a thickness of at least five meters.

It was a Rank 9 Great Roaring Millipede Thunder Emperor, the new sovereign of the dungeon!

"This is it! The Dungeon Boss!" said Veronica with a fervent expression in her eyes, as her entire body began to shapeshift into enormous claws that grabbed the creature's tail and threw it around the room as if she were completely unaffected by the fiend's thundering attacks and bloodthirsty aura.

BOOM!

"GRRYYAAAAARRRRR!"

SPARK!

The creature quickly continued its charge despite having hit the hall's walls with immense strength, its exoskeleton was tough enough for it to absorb most of the damage. Its enormous metallic horns began to generate sparks of golden lightning as a powerful shock of thunder flew towards Veronica at great speed.

FLASH!

However, before Veronica was to take the powerful attack, a mass of blue water resurged from within her back, jumping high in the air as it conjured a spell, Aqua called upon her spirit of Wind Sylphid, an enormous mass of black clouds emerged from within her surroundings, forming a wall that took over the fierce lightning while absorbing most of its power.

"That's not enough, this creature is quite fierce! Axe-chan! ROARING THUNDER AXE!"

Anna emerged from within the crowd as she jumped with thundering agility, raising her Cursed Axe as it began to emit lightning from within.

SPARK! SPARK!

"Alright, leave it to me, Anna-chan!" said Anna's Axe as she suddenly began to produce strong electricity from within, unleashing a slash of powerful golden thunder that hit the attack from the enormous, armored millipede.

CLASH!

The lightning was simply overpowered by an even larger lightning attack, obliterating the sparks left as the millipede was kept in shock for a few seconds, its strongest attack was blocked in the span of a few seconds!

"GRRYARR!"

The creature could not simply give up! It was the new sovereign of the dungeon, the ruler that had won its place after having fought against many critters that tried to take his place! It couldn't simply give in because these fiends before him thought that they were good enough to block its strongest hit!

He was the ruler! The one who beat them all and feasted on their flesh while growing stronger through their harvested experience points!

Just like it did before, he had to simply win again and destroy them! Grow strong from it and even increase in Rank, perhaps to even Rank 10!

This was simply another trial in the hazardous life of the emperor of the dungeon, a welcomed challenge!

"GRYYYYAAARRR!"

The enormous metallic fiend roared as it began to exude sparks of lightning not only from within its giant horns but its entire body! The sparks of lightning began to roar fiercely as if the world were to end at any time!

SPARK! SPARK!

"Telekinetic Wave!"

FLASH!

A small child covered in black armor appeared from within the crowd, conjuring an enormous wave of telekinetic energy that began to distort the lightning on its surroundings, lowering its power by at least a third!

"Now! Legion!" said the child, Ervas, as a giant phantasmagoric fiend emerged from within thin air, with giant beady eyes and fleshy tentacles made out of transparent phantasmal energy.

"Yes, Ervas-sama! Lightning Mirror!"

FLASH!

Legion conjured a special spell made by merging its Light Attribute Magic with Wind Attribute Magic, generating a mirror of light and thunder that began to reflect the lightning thrown at it!

Thanks to Ervas having distorted it, it was possible for these mirrors made out of magic to reflect back the weakened lightning, although the Millipede seemed unfaced by the lightning, it was still surprised when it had once again a strong attack blocked and even reflected!

"GROWL!"

"GRRYAR?!

Suddenly, a giant worm of almost the same size as the Millipede merged from within a giant metallic spider, one of Veronica's Clones that carried Nidhogg through the use of her 'Space Expansion' Skill!

The enormous worm covered in metallic purple scales opened its spiraling mouth, revealing the razor-sharp teeth capable of munching through metal with ease, however, instead of biting, it breathed a powerful blast of purple mist, covering the millipede with it as the fiend roared in confusion and pain.

"GRRRYAARRR!"

The Millipede quickly released several sparks of lightning that hit Nidhogg, however, the enormous worm resisted the attacks with its vast HP pool! The angered worm dragon began to bite into the Millipede's hard metallic exoskeleton, quickly taking large chunks out of it with ease!

"GRRRRYARRR!"

The Millipede, angered, used its enormous tail like a whip and slapped Nidhogg's entire body with it, throwing away the worm a few meters away, while firing enormous acidic bullets towards it.

"GUUBOOO! I will eat those!" said Aqua as she jumped towards the acidic bullets, absorbing them while being completely unfazed by them!

"GIIIISSHAAAAAAAAA!"

As if the Millipede could not catch a breath, another enormous monster appeared from within one of Veronica's clones! It was a gigantic snake made out entirely of vines entangled together, covered in countless razor-sharp spikes.

However, the Millipede noticed it in time as it dashed away! Roaring in fury over yet another giant adversary, it opened its mouth as it fired more acidic bullets, some were caught by Aqua while others were tanked by Ivy's large HP pool and regeneration abilities!

Ivy roared even fiercer than the Millipede, enraged by the creature evasive moves by abusing its lightning speed, she caught into the boss monster's tail, biting it with her enormous snake-like head that was simply filled with her razor-sharp spikes instead of teeth!

"GIIISSHAAAA!"

Suddenly, a sharp pain filled the entire Millipede's mind as it saw how Ivy activated a skill of sorts, augmenting its damage against it and tearing apart a large piece of its tail with a single bite!

"GRRRRYYYYYYAAARRRRRR!"

Constant streams of green liquid began to flow from the enormous wound in the Millipede's body, various arteries were torn apart as it had its tail and at least a few dozen legs torn apart from itself!

The sharp pain did not come to an end as a giant rat appeared right behind the creature!

"CHUUUUU!"

"GRRRYARR!"

The Millipede tried to fend off the pest with a lightning strike, only to find out that the giant rat absorbed it completely!

"G-GRYYARR…?!"

Kyuu charged itself with the power of the powerful roaring thunder of the Millipede, its entire fur glowed yellow as its eyes flashed with golden lightning, Kyuu became incredibly fast as it flew around the battlefield, evading the Millipede's acidic bullets with great speed and then putting its sharp fangs at good use, biting the creature from all over its body!

"CHU! CHU! CHU! CHU!"

Kyuu knew that the Millipede was obviously immune to lightning attacks, so it decided to simply absorb its attacks, enhance its speed, and then unleash hundreds of biting attacks and whip attacks!

Kyuu's tail resembled a metallic whip as it hit the Millipede's face dozens of times, its speed making it almost untouchable!

"GRRRRRYYAARRR!"

The Millipede roared in anger as it tried to destroy Kyuu's with a single slash from its horns, only to find Kyuu appear atop its head and hitting its eyes with another whipping!

SLASH!

"GGRRYYAAARRR!"

"It's getting angrier," said Ervas as he glanced at the scene unfold.

"It is a nice way for everyone to get some practice in their attacks, it's not easy to find a strong creature that can take on everyone's attack like this one," said Veronica.

Ervas and Veronica were barely participating in the battle as they wanted their tamed monsters and the rest of their allies to get some experience in battle, by simply letting them go loose while unleashing their strongest attacks or coming out with new techniques or spells at the moment.

"Is it our turn yet?" asked Amelia.

"In a bit, dear, let Kyuu have his time to shine," said Veronica.

"Kyuu is being awesome! He's fighting a Rank 9 monster like nothing!" said Pekorina.

"Yeah! …Eh? It seems that it tired out" said Acathea, as they saw Kyuu lost its golden colors from its hair, suddenly slowing down by a great amount.

"Chuuuu…" muttered Kyuu as it fell to the ground, the Millipede was distracted from attacking him by Ivy who bites one of its legs with roaring fury.

"It hit its limit, the ability to absorb lightning to get stronger seems to still be in the process of developing…" said Veronica, as she flew with enormous speed towards Kyuu while breaking through the air, catching him with her giant claws and then putting him inside of her armor through the Space Expansion Skill.

"You did well, now go rest," said Veronica.

"Chuuu…"
