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

Chapter 412: Veronica Feasts



Chapter 412: Veronica Feasts

—–

After six months, it was finally time to change Jobs at long last.

However, before that, Veronica had decided to absorb a bunch of materials she had been stockpiling for ages.

Most of the time Anna and Kuro told her to just absorb them… but she refused.

She was very stubborn, and it was almost irrational.

No one knew why she was being so stubborn about wanting to stockpile materials.

But she was decided to do so, until this very moment.

Honestly, most people around her do not really know what is up inside her mind.

The only one who can guess a bit is the closest person to her, Anna.

And she would only say “I do not know, Veronica is just like that sometimes… Maybe she just wanted to see all the power she would get at that very moment or something…”

Indeed, she was very strange sometimes.

But now, it became very convenient that she did not absorb them, so she could be rained with tons of System notifications and possibly new Skills.

Everyone glanced at Veronica, as she revealed the ten meters tall pile of materials.

“You are going to eat all of that?” asked Ervas.

“Yes! This is my stash! I have been saving it for so long! Now I finally get to eat it! Well, more like absorb it…” said Veronica.

“Well, finally! It was about time… go on,” said Anna.

“Mommy, that’s a lot of materials! I wish I could have Armory too…” sighed Kuro.

“I am sure that you will awaken it soon!” said Veronica, petting her daughter.

“Really? I also want to change armors like mommy…” said Kuro.

“Hehe, I am sure you will! And if you will not be able, I will find a way, do not worry,” said Veronica, kissing the little Kuro’s forehead.

“Okay then… W-Well you don’t have to spoil me like that! I-I can find a way myself too!” said Kuro, she was developing some pride now, and didn’t want her mother to do everything for her.

“That’s the spirit!” said Veronica, winking at her daughter.

Veronica glanced at the pile of artifacts and monster materials.

She had a ton of stuff.

There were several weapons, armor pieces, and accessories acquired from dungeons, each one had interesting effects which Veronica hoped to get if possible.

Among them, some blades could produce fire, a spear that was able to release a torrent of water, an arrow that could generate magic arrows made of wind, a staff that produced a ray of holy light, a scepter that generated shadow bullets, an eye-shaped accessory with the ability to confuse foes, armors that could resist many elements, several rings, bracelets, and more that gave stealth-based skills, and more and more.

Alongside that, there were materials harvested from monsters, such as large and colorful magic cores, big pieces of magic ores, large scales of rock, earth, thunderstorm, windstorm, and water dragons, sea snake scales and fangs, claws of several giant monsters such as bloody bear emperors, and more.

Veronica quickly turned into her Living Armor form, releasing her true form for all to see, which was gigantic, monstrous, and spiky, completely dark with several decorations with crimson and purple colors, and a skull-shaped helmet with long, demonic horns… her size was about four meters, and she looked like an actual Demon King or the final boss of some game.

Whenever she went into this form her entire aura would be incredibly potent and monstrous, and it made all the living beings within the sea in a kilometer radius around her escape immediately, while weaker ones fainted out of pure fear…

“Damn, this form always makes a ruckus…” thought Veronica, seeing the several souls of the fainted sea life flying towards her, they were around one hundred… and their corpses quickly began to float in the water… just by transforming the sheer fear she produced made these little animals die instantly…

“Welp, I guess we are eating more seafood tonight, huh?” she said, as she extended her giant, black-colored metallic claws, extending them as liquid metal tentacles and beginning to absorb everything!

Veronica extended her claws into a large net of liquid metal, and ate it all!

Flash!

The materials and artifacts all turned into new power and mass over Veronica’s body, transforming her and giving her new powers!

Ding!

[You gained +11.265 Health Points, Defense, and Resistance!]

[You gained +6.753 Mana Points and Magic!]

[You gained +6.225 Strength and Speed!]

[The Levels of several Skills have increased!]

[The [Armory: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Mechanical Factory: Level 1] Skill!]

Veronica’s Armory Skill has awakened!

After 8 months since she acquired it… it has finally awakened into a new and amazing Skill!

Veronica did not only change in this regard, however…

She began to feel that her entire metallic body was bubbling and merging, evolving, and fusing with itself!

[All Armors and Weapons have merged!]

“Wait… what?!”

Veronica immediately decided to check this new Skill.

[Mechanical Factory: Level 1/10]

The culmination of your ability to absorb and replicate [Materials].

Your current armor can be shaped to your liking based on any [Material] you have absorbed.

You can generate any weapon you have consumed before, and upgrade them based on the current and existing ones, new creations and fusions can be saved automatically without limited slots.

Replications of such items can be produced freely through Mana, however, larger quantities of Mana are needed for better replication of stronger items, alongside time.

There is a chance for new Skills to be acquired based on the [Materials] you consume.

Ding!

[You learned the [Blaze: Level 1] Skill!]

[You learned the [Gust: Level 1] Skill!]

[You learned the [Occultism: Level 1] Skill!] 

[You learned the [Poison Secretion: Level 1] Skill!]

[You learned the [Stealth: Level 1] Skill!]

“Five new Skills!”

Blaze and Gust were similar Skills to Electrify, often owned by monsters capable of generating or manipulate these elements, Blaze could let Veronica produce burning flames, while Gust let her control the air around her and produce slicing green winds, in combination, they could produce a powerful storm of thunder, fire, and slicing winds.

Occultism seemed to be a Skill that helped Veronica with Curses, it granted her the ability to not only produce the curses from Curse Synthesis but also more occult and powerful ones, with insane effects but also insane conditions to be meet… she could play around with them a lot, but she needed some preparation.

Poison Secretion was an easy Skill to guess, it helped Veronica secrete Poison of different types, with enough mastery she could become capable of editing the poison to generate various and special effects, such as drugs, and even non-lethal substances.

And Stealth was Stealth, giving her the ability to hide her presence, such Skill would come in handy for her spying clones.

Veronica realized that her armor had suddenly changed as if it had evolved, she became even taller and terrifying, she did not even have a female shape but resembled just an enormous, armored demon monster. The designs of her armor were incredibly detailed as well as if they were shaped by a talented artisan.

“She really did just eat everything…” said Ismene.

“Well done!” said Kuro.

“My Armory Skill finally awakened, and I even got five new Skills from eating all of that… though, I am disappointed, I expected a bit more! Anyways, I will just change Jobs now,” said Veronica while shrugging, as she quickly began to compact her entire armor once more, turning it into fine metallic threads and shaping it as her dress, and even long black heels.

Veronica quickly checked her Job Options, finding a few new ones.

Ding!

[Some Jobs have been upgraded!]

“Upgraded?”

[Jobs Available]

[Gods Nemesis], [Thunderous Armored Tyrant Empress], [Invoker of Accursed Graveyards], [Living Demonic Mechanical Undead], [Abyssal Soul Shadow Ruler], [Accursed Phantasmagoric Flying Train], [Abhorred Manipulator and Devourer of Emotions], [Pseudo Light Attribute Mage], [Gluttonous Material Devourer], [Abyssal Metallic Demon Fighter], [Dungeon Creator], [Essence Absorber], [Nyx], [Abyssal Night World Goddess], [Chaos Attribute Mage], [Otherworldly Mechanical Organism], [Unliving Mechanical Factory] (New!), [Death Goddess] (New!), [Abyssal Curse Caster of Occultism] (New!), [Divine Light Soul Valkyrie] (New!)

Veronica glanced at her available Job Options for a bit, without finding anything upgraded…

Until she noticed that the Death Mage Job was now replaced by Death Goddess…

“Oh… is this what it meant by upgraded? I guess?” wondered Veronica in surprise while shrugging.

She quickly decided to change Jobs, however, picking something would be a bit hard after not having done it for so long…
