Chapter 393: Weird Divine Protections
Chapter 393: Weird Divine Protections
—–
As Veronica and Ervas considered that they needed to prepare for whatever things could come their way in the most unexpected of cases, they used their clones to set up several things, such as traps, runes, and more around the manor.
Although Selene was strong enough to defend herself, it was not as if she had the greatest ranges of fighting or other things, and due to that, she was limited on what she could do against external enemies that tried to invade the property.
Alongside that, they made sure to leave clones with anyone that decided to go on their own around town, especially Veronica’s Clones, which had the power to quickly summon an Accursed Graveyard and then let her teleport there in no time.
Due to these abilities, it was as if Ervas and Veronica were always at the side of their friends and family, no matter where they were.
Regarding Selene, these two weeks since she was born that Ervas and Veronica had been letting her slay monsters they brought from the wilderness, and even bringing her half-dead Dragons so she could kill them and earn large amounts of EXP even if she could not move.
Now, she had finally ranked up into a Rank 7 monster.

Selene Ranking Up order went from Rank 4 Ghost House, Rank 5 Haunted House, Rank 6 Ghost Manor, until Rank 7 Spectral Ghost Manor.
She had started as a Rank 4 Ghost House initially, and as a Rank 7 monster, she already has outstanding stats that rival monsters that Ervas and Veronica had been nurturing since the beginning of their journey.
Her Health and defenses were incredibly high due to her body being an enormous manor that could self-regenerate by using pieces given by Veronica, and it possessed a variety of ways of doing things, such as using its Phantom Clones to conjure magic in masse using its high Mana.
Selene was indeed a strong being who still needed to sharpen her skills and learn more ways to use its high stats, as she was still considered a beginner fighter even with her enormous stats.
Several of her Skills came from the souls that made her up, such as Whipping and Dagger Technique, which were once the Skills of the old owners of the manor that died in here.
Alongside this, she is capable of creating Phantom Clones inside of her body, which can also walk out of it for around ten meters before weakening too much and dissipating.
Veronica and Ervas are doing their best to teach her magic, and she had leveled up Mana Control and learned No-Attribute Magic and… Phantom Magic.
Phantom Magic did not exist in Kritias until Kireina arrived in this world and changed the attributes, adding new ones.
However, it seems to be a lesser version of Death Attribute Magic that was very similar to the limited spells that Azra is capable of wielding due to his soul modification done by the Necromancer, although this magic surged naturally on her, and it lets her use her own phantom to generate spells, such as shaping them as blades, bullets, or spears, amongst other things.
However, Ervas and Veronica began to believe that there was some reason behind this…
And it was, perhaps, also related to the strange Divine Protections she had.
Both of them glanced at her status for a bit, as Kuro was at her side, and also noticed the weird Divine Protections…
“What is “O”? And why did it gave its divine protection to our Selene?!” wondered Veronica while crossing her arms.
“There’s also an “E”… Who is E? Is there a God named “E”?” wondered Ervas.
“I also got two weird Divine protections! They are one letter… but different!” said Kuro.
“Eh? Really, Kuro-chan? Let me see…” said Veronica, as she checked Kuro’s Status.

Kuro’s Status was very large as she had many Skills, she hasn’t been slacking off at all these six months, and her stats were overall quite high for someone at Rank 5… that was because she also had Jobs!
As her soul was originally made from residual soul pieces of Veronica that Veronica unknowingly used to give birth to her through the metallic egg she laid, little Kuro inherited the Samsara System, giving her the power to both have Jobs and Ranks.
Alongside this, she inherited her mother’s initial Skills, but at Level 1, so she had to level them up.
And because she was made by Veronica’s soul, she inherently had the talent for Death Magic, which she slowly developed, alongside the power to create golems and raise Undead, and even charm the dead as well… Due to this, she was also known as the little necromancer princess.
And alongside all of that, she had inherited a Unique Skill that Veronica did not even have, which let her regenerate her HP and Man incredibly quickly.
And well… there were two weird Divine Protections there too.
She did not inherit the ones of Vedon and Lamus, sadly, but she got these two new ones a few weeks ago.
These Divine Protections had strange letters, but seemed to not be completed, somehow.
What was this all about?
Veronica and Ervas were quite clueless and felt like there could be some strange mysterious God trying to help them in the shadows.
But someone else came with an easier answer to this.
“Err, it is very easy to notice… but I also got them, and if we compare them to the others, each one has different letters… which all… combined, sound kind of like Veronica, and Ervas, right?” asked Kireina.
“Haha, no way, we are not Gods, what are you talking about?” laughed Veronica.
“…Well, haven’t we eaten Gods though? And we get EXP and Skill Points through prayers and beliefs…” said Ervas.
“…That’s…! No way, how can we be Gods?! We have not raised into the heavens after undergoing a heavenly tribulation or something!” said Veronica.
“But we ate Gods, as I said, and as we ate their souls, they became ours too. We technically acquired all of their Divinity,” said Ervas.
Veronica sighed.
“No way… But they don’t appear as full names, perhaps there is hope that this is not really what we think it is…” said Veronica.
“In fact, also wouldn’t like it to be as we think… So let’s pray,” said Ervas.
It seemed that Ervas and Veronica were not into the God business, and they did not want to be Gods or anything like that!
They wanted to be normal people, so becoming a god was… not what normal people did.
Of course, denying reality would not get them anywhere…
As they chatted more and more, they quickly began to realize that most people had already gotten one of the two, or both Divine Protections…
Even Aqua, and the other monsters… were all getting these Divine Protections…
“Given a Divine Protection by my own son… This is really something I never expected to happen to me in all of my life… My son is really becoming a God…” said Jason as he began to cry tears of joy.
“…No, wait, don’t celebrate, what if it is some kind of God named Vas?” asked Ervas.
“Ervas, don’t try to deny it anymore! It’s not like it doesn’t make me happy to be the girlfriend of a god, peko!” said Pekorina.
“I see…” said Ervas, he seemed to be slowly giving up…
“Hehe, well, whatever, I am a goddess now,” sighed Veronica, as she shrugged.
“Yay! Mommy Is a goddess! Can I be one too?” asked Kuro, as Veronica carried her in her arms.
“Of course…! You will be the prettiest little goddess in this world~!” said Veronica, as she kissed her daughter’s little nose.
