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

??

Her presence was overwhelming, and she seemed to naturally possess the Aura of Fear skill at a moderately high level.

Her body was composed of an enormous eye with a large and crimson iris, which was covered in flesh, red scales, fleshy tentacles, alongside a wide jaw from left to right, below its iris. There were long black-colored horns atop its head, which showcased the creature\'s status as an Emperor of its race.

"I shall slay you, invaders, in the name of Oggoth-sama!" roared the creature, Krakenusa, while being controlled through Oggoth\'s authority over her soul and mind.

However, Ervas seemed to be quite calm, as he used one of Veronica\'s Clones, which was made into a pendant that Ervas used to save his allies or other items inside through Veronica\'s \'Space Expansion\' Skill. Although the space in such Clone was small inside, it was good enough for Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep, who could change the size of their bodies, to fit in.

Ervas called upon Legion was well, who materialized out of the sudden to finally have a good fight.

Although Legion was a Rank 6 monster, while Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep were Rank 5 monsters, Ervas seemed quite confident about them fighting the High Gazer Emperor, a Rank 10 Monster.

"Bilililili!"

"Objbjbj!"

Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep approached the High Gazer Emperor by flying in midair while using their \'Flight\' Skill and their unique ability to float, similarly to ghosts.

"Expand," said Ervas, as he feeds the two with his mana.

"Bububibibliiii!" roared Chulthu, suddenly expanding in size through its Size Alteration Skill, and becoming over twenty meters tall, clashing against Krakenusa, a monster supposedly five Ranks above him!

"Obubujbjb!" roared Nyarlathotep, expanding her mass of twitching flesh, eyes, and fangs, entrapping Krakenusa\'s body with its entire and formless physique. Krakenusa\'s tentacles were entangled and stopped from shooting rays, while both Summoned creatures began to use their Mind Attack Skills to affect Krakenusa\'s mind and judgment.

"Oh? It seems that you were well prepared, boy!" said Anna with a smirk, as she rushed towards the frontlines, raising her axe and splitting apart hordes of Gazers while Veronica used her giant shield to protect her from their deadly Lasers.

"GRRRROWL! Get away from me!" roared Krakenusa in anger, beginning to conjure Magic of several attributes, attacking Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep with blazing spears of fire and cold spears of ice… However, Nyarlathotep tanked most hits with its overly large amount of Health Points for the most part, while Ervas kept healing her through his Life Attribute Spirit Magic Spells and Healing Touch, which he could use by connecting his phantom threads with anyone.

"Legion," said Ervas, pointing at Krakenusa, which Legion swiftly moved towards her despite having an immense and grotesque phantasmal body, which in fact weighted nothing as it was a ghost at the end.

Ervas charged Legion\'s entire body with his Mana as he began to conjure Spells through him. Due to Legion being made by many dead spirits, it possessed every Attribute of Magic, and although it was still low leveled, with Ervas tremendous amount of Mana being infused into it, Legion was capable of unleashing powerful spells combining many attributes.

"Multi-Elemental Magic Armory," said Ervas, as Legion\'s enormous eyes, which used to be the spirits of talented Gazers flashed in an eerie and crimson light, large magic circles appeared around it, which opened as gates for various weapon-shaped projectiles made out of different elements.

And just as Ervas unleashed such a tremendous spell that he was saving to this occasion, as it cost around ten million mana for use, an enormous cloud of countless, tiny Gazers appeared from within the depths of the Labyrinth.

"What are those?!" asked Ismene, while roasting alive a High Gazer.

Veronica quickly analyzed the creatures through her Appraisal skill while she defended from the surrounding Gazers Lasers and unleashed dozens of attacks.

"Seemingly a new species of Gazers… They\'re Rank 5, named Lesser Gazer Hive, and they seem to work together as a whole" said Veronica.

"As a whole? Their spirits might be good additions to us then, Master" said Legion, as he unleashed the powerful spell \'Multi-Elemental Magic Armory\' through Ervas vast mana as if he had become the embodiment of such a spell, more and more elemental projectiles made with different attributes of magic flew towards the swarm of Lesser Gazer Hives.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

However, the hive only desired to protect the Queen, or the Emperor/Empress, moving in front of the projectiles and taking them instead of Krakenusa, as if they were an endless living swarm of meat shields.

Their small, watermelon-sized bodies exploded just like watermelons, into bloody and meaty paste one after another, but more and more seemed to come from behind the Empress, from within the depths of the labyrinth.

"Did that Emperor laid too many eggs from these things?" wondered Veronica, deciding to leave the High Gazers to the rest of the vast army, joining in the subjugation of the Emperor.

"Wait, Veronica, don\'t kill the Emperor," said Ervas.

"What? Why wouldn\'t we? It\'s the last obstacle before Oggoth!" asked Veronica.

"She actually is being controlled by Oggoth, and now that I\'ve developed my abilities, I think I can save her. Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep are doing so… if we save her, we\'ll have a strong ally" said Ervas.

"A strong ally? Alright, then what should I do?" asked Veronica.

"Find where the hive is spawning and destroy the eggs," said Ervas.

"On it!" said Veronica, as she moved across the hive while shapeshifting her body into an even more bizarre shape, that of a large, mech-like being with a giant drill on its chest.

"I\'ll make my way!" said Veronica, beginning to spin the enormous drill in her mech-like body as she mushed countless Lesser Gazers with it while tanking their tiny Lasers, that when used together would become quite strong.

Blood and entrails covered her entire body as Veronica kept shapeshifting her body across the mass of Lesser Gazers, Legion kept using its magic to destroy them through a storm of elemental projectiles, but even then, the swarm of floating eyes was way too thick.

"Maybe a bigger and sturdier form!" said Veronica, once again infusing Mana into her body, changing the shape into that of an even bigger version of herself, except that this locked robust and heavy, with enormous, elephant-like legs and large claws filled with drills, which she used to cross through the swarm of Lesser Gazers while using the enormous density of her whole body to resist their lasers.

When Veronica, finally managed to get deep enough, she evaded the Emperor that was being tightly wrapped by Cthulhu\'s tentacles and Nyarlathotep\'s flesh.

She descended through a large staircase while battling Gazers and Lesser Gazers one after another, Ozgeth and Shade appeared inside of her body, supporting her with Magic Spells.

"Veronica keep going!" said Shade.

"My lady, I shall assist you!" said Ozgeth.

Ozgeth used its enormous phantasmal eye to fire lasers of darkness around the surroundings, blasting away the Gazers of all shapes and sizes that approached Veronica. Meanwhile, Shade used a few new spells that Veronica had managed to create, conjuring swords made out of blinding light, sharp enough to break through iron, which he sent flying in all directions, impaling various Gazers, and then detonating into a magical explosion.

And as Veronica slowly reached the small and secret room where the Lesser Gazer Eggs had been stored previously, Ervas, Cthulhu, and Nyarlathotep kept using their mind-related skills to break through Oggoth\'s authority on Krakenusa\'s mind, slowly eroding it away.
