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

Chapter 322 - Ervas New Evolution!



??

"Well, there are certain paths that people follow in their lives, right? Guidance Skills are often possessed by great figures that guide many others with them, those that share the same mindset as the guider, will receive an enhancement in several areas with them, alongside and strengthening of their own beliefs. It is by no chance actual brainwashing, as it is often believed, as you can\'t simply force others into your path, they have to willingly come to you," said Veronica.

"It\'s a power that we once wielded as the Demon Queen Anastacia, we had Demon and Spirit Guidance… but we lost it when we were divided and reincarnated in here… However, we believe that such power might still dwell within us, as it was obvious by ho we were able to enhance all of your growth up to this point, where many of you are comparable to A-Rank Adventurers if not higher in this little time that we had trained," said Ervas.

"Ervas awakened it most likely through a Job too, although his guidance… seems a bit different yet even more embracing and comfortable than the one we once wielded in our previous life, I think I am already guided myself," said Veronica.

"I see… so it is some kind of special power that those that guide many acquire to strengthen bot the power and beliefs of those that follow them, to resume it?" asked Ismene.

"Yeah, that\'s it," said Ervas.

"Oh, I think just by being Ervas\' summon, I was already, almost automatically guided as well… In my world, there are other similar skills, named Enlightenment, but I guess in here, it has a different and lesser effect than guidance, although I am pretty sure that my enlightenment is affecting mostly everyone here too, although you might not notice fufu," laughed Kireina.

"But what kind of guidance is this? It feels like an upgrade from our previous life one," said Veronica.

"It\'s called… Salvation Path," said Ervas.

"Salvation…?" asked Jason.

"Eh?" asked Anna.

"What does that mean? Are you saving us? But we\'re fine!" said Pekorina.

"Ah, the moment my lord made me reborn is when he saved me!" said Lilith.

"It is rather mysterious, but it might be related to what Lilith just said. After all, Ervas and I had been… well, sorry if I sound a bit cocky… helping and saving you guys, so it might be those actions that led him to awaken this Guidance," said Veronica.

"I see…! That\'s right, you two saved me… and my family too! It really… made me very happy! Since then, I have always seen Ervas and Veronica as my family! A-A well… E-Ervas is… w-well…" said Pekorina.

Everyone then glanced at Pekorina so she could muster her words…

"Well… I-I guess it is already obvious…" said Pekorina.

"Hm? What?" asked Ervas.

"A-Ah! Well… Peko… Why are you all looking at me with smiles!?" roared Pekorina in embarrassment…

Indeed, everyone knew that Pekorina was in love with Ervas, but they wanted for the young girl to confess such feelings herself, although for now, she was so embarrassed that ended shutting down.

"Anyways, that might be it," said Veronica.

"I just hope for everyone to stay at my side… And thanks for becoming my family," said Ervas with a warm smile, his emotions seemed to have become looser and less stiff, and he was able to smile a bit more honestly.

Everyone nodded as they shared their words.

"Of course my son," said Jason.

"Sure thing, boy," said Ismene.

"Of course, Ervas, you\'re like our little son at this point," said Anna warmly.

"Yeah! Specially Pekorina who is- Mmmgh!" cried Acathea, as Pekorina covered her mouth.

"I will always stay at your side, Ervas, peko!" said Pekorina a bitter smile while glancing at Acathea.

"Yeah Ervas! I love you!" said Amelia cutely, she was younger than Pekorina and Acathea and lacked the embarrassment of Pekorina, so she simply said that she loved Ervas.

"O-Of course, my lord! I shall always be at your side! Y-You can drink my blood at any time!" said Lilith with an enamored smile while licking her lips.

"Thanks, everyone… And now, let me Evolve… please," said Ervas, as he was being embraced by a lot of hugs right now, barely being able to free himself, he flew a few meters away and sat down over a pile of bones, Knochen, who was resting in the castle.

"Guooon?"

"Sorry for bothering you… I will stay in here for a bit," said Ervas, petting the cold bones of the creature as he glanced at his available Evolution Options.

[Available Evolution Options]

[Rank 10: Divine Shadow Vampiric Banshee Dragon Beast Lich Half-Demon of Pestilence and Avarice]

[Rank 10: Divine Shadow Vampiric Banshee Dragon Beast Lich Half-Demon of Infernal Wrath]

"Eh? What? Pestilence and Avarice and… Infernal Wrath?" asked Ervas in disbelief.

[Rank 10: Divine Shadow Vampiric Banshee Dragon Beast Lich Half-Demon of Pestilence and Avarice]

A hybrid race that should not exist in this world, defying all logic.

This Hybrid race unlocks the [Disease Djinn] Demon Bloodline, the Bloodline of the Demons that carry diseases and poison, bringing chaos to battle in a series of different ways.

Alongside this, the power within the Sin of Avarice is unlocked.

[Rank 10: Divine Shadow Vampiric Banshee Dragon Beast Lich Half-Demon of Infernal Wrath]

A hybrid race that should not exist in this world, defying all logic.

This Hybrid race unlocks the [Ifrit] Demon Bloodline, the Bloodline of the Demons that can manipulate fire and shape however they desire, becoming one with this element.

Alongside this, the power within the Sin of Wrath is unlocked.

"Eh? This does not explain much… Well, let\'s… go with the flow then…" muttered Ervas, as he selected the Evolution that was most appealing to him not based on the sin but its functionality.

Now that he had the Bloodline of Dragon-kin, he wanted to become even better with his breath, and perhaps, by getting the bloodline of Ifrit Demons, he might become more masterful in both the normal fire and the freezing blue fire that originates from one of Anir\'s fragments.

Ding!

[You have selected the [Rank 10: Divine Shadow Vampiric Banshee Dragon Beast Lich Half-Demon of Infernal Wrath] Evolution Option!]

[Beginning Evolution…]

Crack, crack!

The moment Ervas selected the evolution, Ervas entire body was shrouded in cracking and bubbling noises, his entire body was once more undergoing a mutation, as a new bloodline was unlocked and awakened within him, raising his power.

Although the changes quickly came to an end and were very little.

It\'s not like his skin turned red or something, nor he gained giant horns like Ifrit Demon usually had, nor black spines on his shoulders…

Actually, he barely changed, as his horn seemed to be filled with strong heat, glowing red from its tip… and well, his eyes seemed to get a slight orange glow.

And that was it.

"Well, I couldn\'t have hoped to get something like a very muscular body or something… maybe for another day…" thought Ervas.

Ding!

[Wrath has awakened]

"Wrath… awakened?" wondered Ervas, although it said it \'awakened\' he didn\'t felt different at all.

He then glanced at all of the system windows, many of them telling him that his Skills awakened… It was rather overwhelming.

However, amongst these Skills, some were remarkably interesting.

"Telescopic Vision? Oh, I see… And Demon King… Body?" wondered Ervas.

Telescopic Vision was a Skill that let Ervas adjust his vision to be… well, telescopic.

When his Demon Metabolism reached level 10 and awakened, it became Demon King\'s Body.

But what was Demon King\'s Body anyways? What did it mean?

[Demon King\'s Body: Level 1/10]

The evolved body of a being who had attained several demon bloodlines and has harbored their power into one, slowly reaching the pinnacle within Demons and being crowned as their King.

This Skill enhances the growth of the user\'s metabolism, stats, skills, levels, skill points, and more.

By mastering the user\'s own body, more power within the Demon King\'s Body can be acquired.

"This… Is interesting… I guess this is why I look like I turned seven now?" wondered Ervas.

Alongside this, although he did not show it… Ervas soul seemed to be going wild with an even greater wave of Mana, almost becoming explosive in power.

"This will take a time to get used to…" he sighed.
