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

??

She wanted them to eat her soul.

Although they had eaten Souls before, such as the Soul of Oggoth and the Necromancer, they always killed them when they did this…

They had never actually eaten only a piece of a soul, which made them rather worried.

They feared that if they were not able to control themselves as they bit, Kireina would be eaten by them completely…

And that was not their intention, to begin with.

Actually, they were rather worried about this and did not want to eat her soul.

This was not the primary reason why she was brought to Kritias, and it was not within their minds to ever eat a friend\'s soul.

However, Kireina offered her soul as if it were another treat, a simple snack… Which obviously made them rather worried about her mental health.

Although they were already insane themselves, so they suddenly stopped thinking about that, accepting Kireina\'s offer as she convinced them after saying that \'everything would be alright.

However, Kireina also had plans with someone else…

That was the cowardly Dragon God of the Underground, Araba, who rested inside of his Sealing Orb, which was like his new home and recipient after Kireina destroyed the sealing effect of the artifact.

"M-Me? What about me?" asked Araba.

Kireina smiled maliciously as she heard Araba\'s words.

Even Araba, a God, felt a shiver down his spine.

"Is Kireina up to something?" asked Ervas.

"Spit it out bad girl," said Veronica, playing along.

"Fufu, just come with me… Make sure to bring the dragon," said Kireina.

Ervas, Veronica, Araba, and Kireina then walked upstairs through the large golem castle, reaching the room of Ervas.

"Alright so I will be pretty direct, Araba, now that you\'re part of our group, you gotta donate some of that juicy power," said Kireina.

"…Eh?" asked Araba.

"In my world, any God that joined my cause would give away a fragment of their soul to me as a gift of goodwill, it was a nice sacrifice that also strengthened myself and showed me their conviction to remain at my side," said Kireina.

"You… mean?" asked Araba.

"Yep, give away a fragment, a middle-sized chunk should be nice. Ah, no, I am not eating it, it is for Ervas and Veronica, I want to hasten their growth as much as possible, I will cut off your chunk because you most likely don\'t have the power to do such a thing with a soul, and then, I will divide it," said Kireina, as she approached Araba with a mischievous smile.

However, Ervas and Veronica stopped her before the fearful Araba could piss himself in fear.

"W-Wait a second, Kireina, we don\'t want that," said Ervas.

"Yeah, it would not be good to make him suffer, after all, he just joined us yesterday. Just having a God as an ally is good enough," said Veronica.

"Hm? Is that so? Very well then," said Kireina shrugging off her idea immediately after hearing Ervas and Veronica\'s opinions.

However, Araba stopped them.

"No… I… I will give it away. Kireina-san is right, although I showed a bit of discomfort at first, you three really did save them there, perhaps I would have stayed even more time sealed inside of my Dungeon, the entire world could have come to an end and I would not have even known about it… It would have been quite frustrating, and depressing too… Also, in this little time, I have learned way too many things, so many that I even feel a bit enlightened… It is fine, here, Kireina-san, please, cut this piece," said Araba, giving away his large and thick tail as the offering.

As he was a God whose entire body was ethereal, his appearance should be capable of going back to normal even if he were to cut off his tail or limbs, as long as he regenerated in time.

"Eh? But Araba…" said Ervas.

"Are you sure?" asked Veronica.

"Yes… Please, don\'t make me doubt my decision and just take it," said Araba.

Kireina smiled maliciously, as if she were the true villain in here, raising her hand and expanding her aura around it, shaping it like a sharp scythe.

"Fufu, very well then… I will use this one Phantom Soul Attribute Magic Spell I got, it is named Soul Scythe, it might be painful, but I will conjure another spell to heal the wound right away," said Kireina.

"O-Okay- G-GYAAAAAAH!"

Slash!

Without further ado, Kireina sliced Araba\'s tail like nothing, making it fall apart into the floor, she extended a phantom tentacle and grasped it.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" cried Araba, touching his cut-off tail as he rubbed the pain.

"That was fast," said Ervas.

"…Doesn\'t she has the power to kill Gods with that Spell?!" asked Veronica.

"Don\'t worry, this wouldn\'t work if God is not willing to give away a piece, they would easily fend me off… Oh right, Soul Patch, Soul Fusion," said Kireina, as she extended her soul out and cut off a tiny piece, using it as a \'patch\' of sorts and fusing it into Araba\'s wound.

"O-Oh? The pain is subsiding…" said Araba.

"See? It wasn\'t so bad, isn\'t it?" said Kireina while winking, as she cut off the tail in two perfect halves and gave them to Ervas and Veronica.

"Bon Appetit," she said, while licking her lips, she was holding herself back to not eat it herself.

"This… Well, it\'s… already cut down… I guess…" said Ervas.

"Yeah, well, let\'s not waste the gift and sacrifice of Araba," said Veronica.

Both Ervas and Veronica then stuffed the tail into their mouths, munching it and gulping it down.

"It was rather delicious…" said Ervas.

"Hm… Araba looks quite appetizing now…" said Veronica jokingly.

"P-Please don\'t joke like that…" said Araba.

As the two seemed to have digested the piece of Araba\'s soul, their bodies began to glow with a dim light brown and golden light.

"Oh, it seems that we might get a little something…" said Ervas.

"Although it is clearly way less than eating a whole God-like Oggoth, it does bring some little power," said Veronica.

(Ervas & Veronica)

Ding!

[You gained +10.000.000 Mana, +4.000 HP, and +2.000 Defense!]

[You acquired the [Dungeon Creation: Level 1] Skill!]

"Hm?!" asked Veronica in surprise.

"Did you got Dungeon Creation too?" asked Ervas.

"Y-Yes!" said Veronica.

"Oh? Dungeon Creation? Those are amazing news, my lords!" said Kireina, smiling devilishly.

"Y-You acquired the ability to create Dungeons with just my tail?!" asked Araba.

"Pretty amazing, isn\'t it? We will have a lot to play around with, maybe the number of preparations we can make for that army to come will be so many that they will be crushed hopelessly as they cry and agonize!" said Kireina.

"Maybe…" said Ervas.

"Well, if we could create Dungeons, perhaps making some around here to practice would be nice," said Veronica.

"Indeed, I could teach you around how you can do them," said Araba.

"Well, well, don\'t forget the main dish here," said Kireina.

"Oh right…" said Ervas.

"Right…" said Veronica.

"Unlike Araba here, I shall be more generous~," said Kireina, as she suddenly expanded a large amount of her soul out of her materialized body, cutting it mercilessly without any shred of doubt or pain, making Araba even more fearful of Kireina.

"One for Ervas…" said Kireina.

"Wait, you\'re cutting even more?!" asked Ervas.

"W-Wait!" said Veronica.

Slash!

Kireina slashed another enormous piece of her soul like nothing, giving it to Veronica.

"Oof, I got a bit smaller…" said Kireina, as she transformed back into a multi-eyed purple octopus form.

"A-Are you okay, Kireina?!" asked Veronica, grabbing Kireina.

"Yeah, I am fine, don\'t worry about me~ I will grow in a bit, I am using Uroboros to devour myself, which at the same time will only produce more of me, in a few days I should be back on track… Although I might hasten the process by eating some wandering souls," said Kireina.

"W-Well, as long as they\'re not the souls of people…" said Ervas.

"Anyways… How do we eat this?" asked Veronica.

The two large chunks of Kireina\'s soul were enormous and resembled a mass of ethereal darkness, coupled with many colors such as purple, red, and pink twisting around endlessly, it was the definition of \'chaotic\'.

"Slurp them like a noodle!" said Kireina.

"O-Okay…" said Ervas and Veronica, quickly eating the large souls and digesting them after a few minutes…

The changes were almost immediate.

Ervas and Veronica began to overflow with a power that was not even comparable to Oggoth\'s soul!

"This is… Delicious!" said Veronica.

"Ah… This might be even a bit overwhelming…" said Ervas.

Both of them felt as if their souls began to gain some kind of enlightenment.

Although they were not granted Kireina\'s memories or something, they were given some kind of innate knowledge about the nature of powers that did not originate from Kritias, but from Genesis.

As this innate knowledge and power surged, their minds seemed to awaken, to an extent.

And within that, their souls began to produce new types of energies and powers.

As their souls assimilated the complete power of Kireina\'s soul fragments, Ervas and Veronica found as if they had been refreshed, as if they had taken a warm and comforting bath after being very tired.

(Ervas and Veronica)

"Huh?! Skill Points?!" asked Veronica.

"…What?" asked Ervas.

"Oh?! So you got that much? Amazing!" said Kireina, floating around in her multi-eyed purple octopus form.
