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

??

The blazing flames of the [Dragon Soul] Cheat Ability against the scorching and searing flames of the [Sun Fire] Cheat Ability!

Which flames would be able to come atop the other?

Natalia kept unleashing her Dragon Soul against Leonia, pouring everything she had and wearing down her soul itself to have some power to oppose her!

However, Leonia simply laughed at her efforts, as she shaped her flames as dozens of gigantic phoenixes, sending them towards Natalia and making them explode as if they were missiles.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Natalia gritted her teeth, shaping her flames as dozens of large draconic claws, intercepting the loud explosions, and mitigating the damage with them at the cost of her soul wearing down more and more!

Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!

"Not bad! But not enough!" laughed Leonia, as she flapped her blazing wings, unleashing even more deadly flames and heat towards Natalia, who had no option but to coat herself on her Dragon Soul as if it were an armor, resisting the flames!

FLASH!

"Nnngh…! Dragon… Breath!" roared Natalia, shaping the Dragon Soul above her head into a giant dragon head, and unleashing a powerful beam of blazing soul flames towards Leonia!

CLASH!

Leonia tried to use her flames to shield herself as much as she could, but the power was… intense!

"W-What?!"

Leonia was overwhelmed!

The Dragon Breath of Natalia broke through her flames and impacted her directly, burning through her skin and throwing her away!

Although Leonia was immune to her flames, she was not immune to other types of flames, such logic also applied to Natalia\'s Dragon Soul Flames!

However, Natalia had paid a large price for such a strong attack, as she sensed her soul aching in agony!

"Unnghhh…! I spent… too much of my soul…" muttered Natalia, resisting the soul pain, the most excruciating pain there was as much as possible.

Natalia\'s Dragon Soul Cheat Ability was very strong, but it was a power that came directly from her soul.

This meant that, unlike other Abilities that could be used with Mana, she needed both Mana and her very soul as fuel.

Each time she overused her powers, her soul would be slowly consumed, as if the dragon itself was slowly eating her away…

She could not do much about it other than to fight for her life, but if she fought too hard, she might end up dying anyways…

If she overused her powers one more time… there was no guarantee that she would not die out of the soul pain, or even worse, have her entire soul consumed and ending up disappearing completely, without even having a chance to reincarnate later on…

Such feeling of hopelessness made her aware of something… if she wanted to survive, she needed to escape…

But Eustace was now fighting and the rest… were fighting now too.

Could she be so shameless to leave her companions to die?

She needed to fight!

She needed to-

"Did you think that would really kill me?"

Suddenly, the voice of Leonia resonated near the weakened and lethargic Natalia, as Leonia\'s enormous aura of flames covered the very sky, glaring at her with anger… her body seemed burnt, yet it had now recovered.

However, the horrible scars over her body were there…

"Leonia…! Nnngh…!" muttered Natalia, trying to unleash her Dragon Flames as they would barely move out of her body, the pain was too much…

"It seems that unlike me… you\'ve run out of fuel. Too bad that your powers depend on your soul… It seems that… I am the winner here… Burn to ashes, Natalia…" said Leonia with a relaxed smile, as countless flames fell over Natalia\'s entire body.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Natalia tried to evade however she could, darting around, flying out of range, and using her magic instead of her Dragon Soul, but it was useless, she was being easily overwhelmed, and she was beginning to feel her skin being roasted alive as she tried to evade and escape…

Leonia quickly created a cage of flames, closing into Natalia to finish her off for good!

Natalia suffered terrible agonizing pain as the flames began to eat her away!

However, within her… rage and wrath emerged!

Why?

Why would she die here, and now?!

After fighting for so long…

After everything, she had done!

She could not possibly just die!

Gritting her teeth, she unleashed her Dragon Soul once more, and fused it with all the magic and skills she had, flying towards Leonia as her body was burnt!

"You! Go back to the ashes you came from!" roared Leonia, unleashing a sea of flames towards Natalia!

However, Natalia roared like a monstrous dragon, her very soul taking ahold of her body as it showed like an enormous behemoth made of soul flames, roaring furiously, and breaking through the flames!

Leonia tried to evade and escape while firing fireballs and fire phoenixes, however, even that was too weak, Natalia\'s strength had surged…

This was because… she is sacrificing her very soul to get rid of Leonia right now!

"GRAAAAAAAARRRR! DIEEEE!" roared Natalia, as she leaped over Leonia and used her gigantic blazing jaws to tear apart her body, ignoring the flames her foe threw at her, as the two blazing women burned each other in seas of eternal flames, shining above the sky like the brightest of suns!

Flash!

BOOM!

An enormous blazing explosion unfolded, as Natalia and Leonia\'s bodies were consumed, burned into a crisp, and then turned into complete ashes…

Both killing each other, it seemed to be a tie.

But Natalia\'s flames seemed to be the mightiest, as they always came with a price that not many would have paid for…

Nina glared at the scene unfold atop her titan of earth, feeling pity that her Master wouldn\'t be able to tame them.

However, as long as he was the last standing, it was a win for him.

Nina glanced back at Evelyn, the Scarlet Knight, the mysterious Heroine who had joined Gabriel\'s faction…

However, Evelyn was well aware of Gaia\'s strength, and her blood didn\'t stand a chance against the ability to manipulate earth and harden it into powerful stone.

And Evelyn who desired to keep herself alive, decided to escape through the skies, leaving Nina contemplating the scene.

"Hm… she\'s intelligent… Although it seems that Eustace and Gabriel are reaching their climax. It does seem like there will be an end to their match soon… Eustace cannot bear with the death of his friends, and he will go berserk… Gabriel will not stand a chance. Let us see the winner and then take the spoils…" said Nina, as Benjamin jumped to her side, carrying a man wearing a dark robe and covering most of his face with a mask.

"This is quite exciting…" said the man.

CLASH!

Eustace clashed against Gabriel, the Blade of Holy Light against the power to manipulate Time around the user!

Eustace\'s powerful Blade of Holy Light was able to penetrate through the Time Domain of Gabriel and reach his body!

However, Gabriel reversed the time of the attack and evaded the attack, virtually never receiving damage!

This way, Gabriel was constantly taking and then reversing the event, never being truly damaged!

Alongside this, Gabriel had the power to reverse or hasten time around his Time Domain, making himself incredibly fast while making any attack sent by Eustace slow and lethargic!

However, there was a weakness to his time magic!

Whenever another Domain impacted his Time Domain, both Domains would cancel each other, giving Eustace the chance to strike!

Eustace had practiced the use of his Domain all this time for this very weakness of Gabriel, and was now trying to abuse it!

BOOM!

However, right there, he saw Natalia die, exploding into flames…

Not so long after he had sensed Mason, Catalina, and Lucas die too, as the Guider, he knew that those he guided had died!

His entire mind was conflicted and warping, he could not bear with this frustration, this sorrow, this wrath!

Everything was going horribly, was there any end to the suffering?

Was there any point in even… staying alive?

Then… he remembered.

Cecilia and Jonathan!

He could sense them…

They were still alive!

He had to fight…

He had to fight for his son, for his wife!

Eustace had no option, he had to brace himself, and kill the bastard that had brought all of this suffering and chaos to him!

"What\'s wrong?! You\'re finally letting me attack you?!" laughed Gabriel, as he shaped the Time Attribute Mana from his Domain and materialized it into arrows of a clock, firing them towards Eustace!

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Eustace had already been inflicted with these deadly arrows before, they had the power to steal lifespan from his body, and to even age certain parts of it, even to the point that some of his wounds were turning into ashes!

However, through his Holy Magic and Recovery, he was slowly healing such wounds, barely.

The moment they were to hit him again, however, he would most likely turn into ashes and die, as Gabriel had the power to accelerate time to the point where all of his time left would be consumed in seconds!

However, Eustace had other plans than dying today!

He had to survive, to fight!

He had to live and see his son\'s face another day!

"GABRIEL… ENOUGH OF THIS!" roared Eustace, completely enraged as he unleashed all of his true power!

Enormous quantities of Mana began to emerge from his body, fusing with his very soul and merging with his Skills and Cheat Ability, the Holy Magic shaped itself as enormous blades of holy light, as the explosion of holy light impacted Gabriel head on!

BOOM!

"Ungh?! Impossible! You shouldn\'t… Wait… that\'s your Domain?!" asked Gabriel in disbelief, as he realized that Eustace\'s attack contained his very Domain!

Eustace had found a way to merge his Holy Light Domain into his Magic!

And now, the blades of light closed in, as Gabriel\'s Time Domain was broken by Eustace!

"T-Tch! Not like this! I will not allow it… I will not die!" roared Gabriel, as he accelerated his body speed and somehow managed to evade the constant shower of holy swords, as he suddenly opened something within his pocket, releasing two gigantic and grotesque beings that released Divine Auras, Demon Gods!

"Gabriel, you bastard, don\'t use us as shields! Nnnggrraaaaahhh…!" roared one of them resembling a giant, green-colored slime, as it was showered in the blades of light, tearing his entire body apart!

"Unnggggrrraaahh… you bastard!" cried another, resembling a large black stone with a crimson eye, as he was blown into bits!

Eustace unleashed all of his Divine Rage, the power he had achieved to even defeat Demon Gods!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

More and more explosions unfolded, as Gabriel ran away as fast as possible, everything was crumbling, Eustace\'s power was… way too much!

"No… this… wasn\'t supposed to be like this! I will come back… I will come back to kill you!" he cried, as he flew away as fast as possible like a pathetic dog before the might of Eustace!

Eustace\'s rage continued even after that until everything was covered in debris, even his own body.

"S-Such power… is he even a human anymore…?" wondered the Dominator, glancing above the earth titan made by Nina.

"Master… I suggest retreating, even if he is now unconscious, Eustace\'s willpower and tremendous strength… if we wake him up and then he unleashes his power…" said Nina.

"You\'re right… not yet… not yet… we must grow stronger… and gather more forces…" said the Dominator, as he, Nina, and Benjamin, disappeared within the horizons of the wasteland that Kritias was now.

…

Eustace\'s eyes opened after many days of being in a coma.

"Ah… where am I?" he wondered.

"Oh… Eustace, you\'re finally awake!" cried a woman at his side, Cecilia, as he hugged him tightly, her warm tears flowing out of her eyes and reaching his shoulders.

"Cecilia… I… am sorry…" sighed Eustace, hugging back his wife, as the sorrow of all his fallen companions resonated within his heart, making him cry alongside his wife.

…

Meanwhile, within a completely white space, several humanoid figures appeared, glancing at each other, and immediately recognizing friends and foes…

All these people were… the ones that had recently died, all the Heroes… Natalia, Mason, Catalina, Lucas, Christopher, Lance, Leonia, and Fernando.

"I\'m… alive? No… But my soul… How?" wondered Natalia.

"Where are we…?!" asked Catalina.

"This place… I know it…" said Mason.

"You bastards, I am going to kill you both!" roared Fernando.

"Calm down! We are already dead…" sighed Leonia.

"Dead…? Oh… I died by Lance…" said Christopher.

"Don\'t blame me, I was being controlled by someone else…" sighed Lance.

"This place… I think… it reminds me of somewhere…" said Lucas.

"I know this place… This is where we appeared after dying on Earth…" said Natalia.

"It can\'t be… you mean…?" asked Catalina.

Suddenly, the voice of an old and stoic man interrupted the hero\'s chat.

"Welcome back, Heroes. Have you enjoyed your second lives?" asked the old man, as he now emerged in appearance as well, resembling a titan made of yellow light, with a long white beard and hair, wearing a white toga.

"You bastard…! If it was not for you…! We would have never gone to that horrible world!" roared Fernando.

"I have called you here to ask you for a favor…" said the old man, completely ignoring Fernando, as if he did not even exist…
