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

-----

The ruling of the new ruler of the dungeon came to an end, but instead of having their soul absorbed by the dungeon and then reincarnated as another random monster within the dungeon, Ervas and Veronica called upon it with their enticing auras and their charm over the death.

??

The creature was just a few seconds ago roaring with anger and fierce strength, but now, devoid of its physical body, which had ended almost completely torn into pieces, its only soul, which still had the gigantic shape of its original body began to glow with a yellow light.

Ervas and Veronica touched the Millipede Emperor's soul, infusing their vast Mana into it.

The Millipede's soul was fairly stronger as it was a creature of Rank 9, and even its soul had developed to an extent through its evolutions and level-ups. When it received the vast Mana that went up to millions of points, a qualitative change occurred.

"Woah! Ervas, auntie Veronica, are you turning it into a ghost? So cool!" said Amelia.

"Is it even bigger than Legion?" asked Anna.

As more mana was infused into the Millipede's soul, its body became more detailed, showing a similar appearance to its physical body when it was alive. Its enormous head showed sharp phantasmagoric horns and its eyes flashed with deep crimson colors, the enormous plates of metallic exoskeleton appeared once again covering the elongated body, although they were not made of metal this time but hardened and materialized glowing sparking phantom essence.

The creature's body began to spark with lightning, as the horns on its head grew larger and more intimidating! Electricity began to spark everywhere, it was as if the creature had become completely made out of this element.

"I think this is enough," said Ervas.

"Yeah… Woah, it's stronger than we imagined… So this is Thunder-Attribute Ghost!" said Veronica.

"GRRRYAAARRR!"

The Millipede roared as it moved around the hall with its phantasmagoric and electric body, its soul was infected with the Mana of Ervas and Veronica and then it mutated into an Undead and Ethereal type of monster, a ghost.

However, its enormous size, power, and appearance could not simply qualify it as a measly ghost! Due to the power that the soul already had, and its familiarity with the Thunder Attribute, the Millipede's soul was resurrected into a Thunder Ghost!

Ozgeth and Legion celebrated the coming of a new ghostly ally.

"Ooh! What a wonderful creature this is! Splendid work, lady Veronica, lord Ervas!" said Ozgeth with a fascinated smile.

"It does indeed exude a powerful aura, it is an electrifying experience to just glance at it!" said Legion with a voice that seemed to be the combination of many tones of voices.

The Millipede seemed to have completely forgotten about any type of grudge or hate, it was a simple creature that was given a second chance by the ones who were strong enough to defeat it, through Ervas and Veronica, the Millipede found a new reason to exist, to serve them as much as he could even in death.

"I wonder if you could have done the same with other boss monsters?" asked Anna at Veronica's side.

"Well, yeah we can, but usually, monster's souls are not really that strong unless they're already Undead… but this guy had an extraordinarily strong soul, despite having just died, its soul was strong enough to resemble a lot of its former physical body, so we gave it a shot. We expected that it might inherit the electricity ability… but it still surprises me that it became such a rare Undead as a Thunder Ghost" said Veronica.

"Yeah, not all monsters are well fitted to become ghosts, though an army of undead bosses might be enticing, it is better to leave them to reincarnate in the dungeon again so they can respawn for experience points," said Ervas.

"That is true… still, this thing is enormous, and it's a ghost?! I have never seen a ghost this big! Not even Legion is this BIG!" said Anna, glancing at the Millipede Emperor Ghost, which had almost the same size as its former physical body.

The Millipede got closer to Ervas and Veronica as it friendly groaned.

"Grrryarr…" it said while releasing strong sparks of lightning that seemed to not affect Ervas or Veronica.

"Because it is greatly made by electricity, it seems to be capable of manipulating it to the extent that it can even choose to use it to damage or not… Interesting" said Ervas.

"Indeed! It seems that Kyuu is getting a new companion, I hope both of you can become good friends" said Veronica as she petted the enormous phantasmagoric millipede's head.

"So what name will you give it?" asked Pekorina

"This creature really reminds me of a certain centipede with similar electric powers…" said Ervas.

"Indeed, should we call it after him for a good omen?" asked Veronica.

"Alright," said Ervas.

"You'll be named Pete," said Ervas and Veronica, as the Millipede's crimson eyes shined brightly, it was granted a name by its new masters, it could not help but feel emotional… even if it was still rather primitive, it was still incredibly happy.

"GRRRRYAARRR!" roared Pete in happiness, releasing even more sparks of inoffensive lightning that only seemed to be for show.

"It still weakened a rather big amount from its original strength… It has become a Rank 5 Thunder Millipede Emperor Ghost" said Ervas.

"Even with that giant size it still a Rank 5 monster… I suppose the appearance is quite deceiving" said Veronica.

"Grryyaarr…" groaned Pete as Amelia and Acathea approached him and began to pet it.

"Pete? Is it a special name?" asked Anna.

"Kind of… Let's say that it is a legendary creature" said Ervas.

"Yeah, it is a good name, hopefully, this Pete can one day become as strong as that Pete," said Veronica.

"Ervas-sama, Veronica-sama, such splendorous creation! With Pete, we will have yet another new force to add to our army! The humans won't stand a chance as they despair over our overwhelming strength!" said Lilith.

"No, we are not done with preparations for them, but if Pete levels up enough, he might become an important warrior in the fight that is yet to come," said Ervas.

"I'm sure he will be, he's such a good boy now!" said Veronica as she caressed Pete's enormous jaws.

"Grryarr! Grryarr!" roared Pete cutely.

Ervas and Veronica glanced at their system windows as they noticed that the experience points gained through this battle were good enough for their Jobs to finally max their levels, although they still had a long road ahead for their Rank level… Although they could not evolve immediately, at the very least they were able to change jobs quicker.

"This Job gave us a good boost in our capabilities to fuse our souls and all, but it didn't give me much in the Stat department," said Veronica.

"Well, your stats are already quite ridiculous, Veronica and this Job seems to not be centered in fighting nor enhancing power, so we should expect as much… my stats only increased a bit too, nothing really outstanding…" said Ervas.

"The girls and I also maxed our Jobs, so we'll go to change them," said Anna as she walked alongside Pekorina, Amelia, Acathea, and Lilith and her sisters towards one of Veronica's clones that were holding a large, green-colored crystal, the mystical Job Changing Crystal.

"I wonder when I will be able to absorb a material such as the Job Changing Crystal…" muttered Veronica.

"Someday, don't lose hope. I am sure that it will bring some big powerup… Perhaps people will be able to change Jobs just by touching you" said Ervas.

"If that were to happen, I could simply create necklaces of my material so everyone can always have Job Changing available to them," said Veronica.

"Perhaps you might be able whenever we become as strong as Gods…" said Ervas.

"Indeed, we are way too weak now, if we are planning to screw Bestellen someday, we better get as strong as him at the very least…" said Veronica.

Bestellen was the god of Light and Righteousness and one of the original gods of Kritias, his strength was almost unparalleled except his total opposite, Razdall, the God of Darkness and Sins, the only god capable of putting on a fight against him as both gods were weak to each other divinities.

Not even the Demon Gods were capable of putting a dent in Bestellen, and it was said that only the Demon God-King was capable of putting a fight while using its full strength and its soul-breaking capabilities to damage Bestellen's soul directly.

Bestellen held the Divine Authority of Light and Righteousness, and he held the complete control and was the pillar of the entire Light Attribute in the world of Kritias, while also being one of the gods with the most faith given by Humans, Elves, and part of the Dwarves.

Only Razdall was capable of weakening enough by inflicting a powerful wound into his soul by using one of the Demon God King's Fragments, or how they are renamed now as Anir and Kelsus Fragments.

However, Bestellen nourishes himself through the prayers of all its believers and it is steadily recovering… its power is slowly coming back to him and his wound will heal sooner or later. It is said that the amount of Divine Power and Mana he has is off the charts, and it is speculated that every 'original god' must have so much Mana that they are capable of shaping the world.

Ervas and Veronica might have millions of mana, but compared to them, they were mere ants… there were plentiful Demon Gods who possessed more Mana than them and were considered on the weak side.

This is why, despite all the power they had accumulated, Ervas and Veronica saw themselves as weak.

And as they began to save the large pieces of the corpse of Pete, they noticed the presence of several small creatures glancing at them from within the entrance of the hall…

"Agh! W-Why didn't Stealth work?! They are seeing right through us! …Retreat!"
