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

-----

After Ervas learned the 'Soul Break' Skill and raised a new Undead, a Giant Goblin corpse inhabited by the dead spirit of an adventurer that died in that dungeon which was once called 'The Steel Fist', whose name he did not remember, the party progressed through the last floors of the dungeon with great pace. ??

With Veronica and Ervas at the frontlines, the monsters that kept ambushing the party seemed like nothing, and with the assistance of the rest of the party and giant behemoths such as Goliath, Nidhogg, Charlotte, and Aqua, the dungeon exploration became a walk in the park.

Goliath laughed as he devoured a Giant Red Lizard, a Rank 4 monster, an evolution variant of the Rank 3 Giant Lizard.

"Masters, this body is amazing! I have never felt so alive, even if I am technically still dead! These fits! I have always desired to be big and strong! Now I can finally truly be big and strong to protect you two!" he said, he was a simple man, he liked to smash things with his fists.

"You seem to have gotten used to your new body incredibly quickly, Goliath" pointed out Veronica while leading the party.

"Yeah! I used to be a human adventurer that died in here… I think I was eaten alive by goblins or something! Maybe that trauma made me very well fitted to inhabit a Goblin body! An exceedingly rare Giant Goblin to top it all! Gahahah!" laughed Goliath as he finished eating the corpse of the Giant Red Lizard and immediately beginning to eat another one.

Although after becoming an undead, the Giant Goblin corpse became a Rank 4 Giant Goblin Zombie by being inhabited by the soul of Goliath, it still had a big stomach that needed a lot of food…

Though undead did not need to eat at all, Goliath was eating because he could not help but enjoy the taste of meat and blood after so long since he died and became a dead spirit.

Not everything was so shamelessly unjustified, Goliath had gained the 'Digestion' skill and could regenerate Mana by eating anything, and because he kept unleashing Unarmed Fighting Techniques against anything, his mana was depleted quite quickly, so he constant ate what he killed to keep fighting endlessly.

Goliath lacked the restraint of the living, who would get fatigued even if they ate after killing every monster. By abusing the Digestion Skill similarly to Veronica, he became a giant restless fighter and meat shield.

Strangely enough, the rest of the party did not seem to find Goliath disgusting, as he did not smell bad nor seemed to be rotting.

This was because Gaia and Ervas used Life Attribute Spirit Magic to close and heal all the corpse wounds and to clean it entirely out of bacteria, which cost thousands of mana, but Ervas had to spare.

Meanwhile, Veronica quickly created a few pairs of clothes for it with her Metallic Threads, such as a loincloth and more, and threw away the nasty rags that the original Giant Goblin was wearing. He probably smelled better than when this Giant Goblin was alive.

"Goliath is it? I've never seen a Goblin speak words…" said Ismene.

"Words? I can speak words of course! Missy, I am not a simple Giant Goblin, but Goliath, the Steel Fist!" said Goliath.

Language in Kritias was extremely simplistic, this was mostly related to how every intelligent race was born in the same place and nurtured by every good, there was a single language, which was simply called 'the language of Kritias', which seemed to be a combination of Japanese and English with a sprinkle of Spanish, however, there were many unique words, but Veronica found many words that were similar to these Earth's languages.

However, as the tribes of the world entered into conflicts and separated for many years, slight changes in their dialects appeared. But for most of the living beings living in the Human Continent of Anir's Hand, which included the tribes of beastmen and demons, they all spoke almost the same, with a few distinct accents but nothing too hard to understand by itself.

Veronica and Ervas naturally learned this language in their previous life, and because they had to talk and understand many tribes of beastmen and demons in the Demon Continent, they naturally knew a lot of different accents that they could remember at any time with 'Memory Retention'.

"Goliath, everything seems too small from your shoulders!" said Amelia, as she was sitting on Goliath's left shoulder while glancing atop the trees that made the dungeon's floors. Her tail waved around with a lot of enthusiasm.

"T-This is too tall for me, peko! G-Get me down, Goliath!" said Pekorina who sat down at Goliath's right shoulder.

"Calm down little rabbit, you gotta get used to these heights if you want to serve the masters well! Gahahaha!" laughed Goliath nonchalantly, his laughter so loud that it made echo around the entire forest.

"Nooo! Get me down, pekoooo!" yelled Pekorina as she tightly grabbed her arms around Goliath's neck.

"Pekorina this is nothing, it's just around four meters… maybe a bit less, you're just exaggerating, this is not truly being atop a big giant," said Veronica, who in her past life interacted with a tribe of Giants, a race of Demons who are similar to humans but as tall as buildings, the smallest ones being over five meters.

"B-Big giant?!" said Pekorina, imagining the frightening presence of such a creature.

"A Giant? So even as a Giant Goblin Zombie, I am not really a true Giant?! Now that I can evolve with this body, I should strive to get to the size of those guys! I will not settle down until I get as big as… one hundred meters! How're that little missies? Gahaha!" laughed Goliath.

"I can actually picture that… Ivy will probably get very big as well, at this point she is taller than Goliath if she stretches straight to the sky" said Ervas. Ivy used to be a simple venomous vine that raised all the way to a Rank 5 monster, her growth was surprising and outstanding, and she kept improving and growing at a fast speed.

"Oh? There it is!?? said Acathea as she was sitting on one of Goliath's palms, pointing with her bear paw to the center of the forest, a clearing that held a small building resembling an old and abandoned temple made by gray-colored stone bricks filled with moss and plants.

Inside, the presence of a Rank 6 monster could be felt.

"Oh, the Boss, let me punch it straight with these fists!"

"Calm down Goliath, let's work together," said Ervas.

"Ah, am I getting too ahead of myself, master Ervas? I apologize, I will assist you then!" said Goliath with a bright smile, showing the sharp teeth of a giant goblin that were cleanly white after being cleaned by Gaia's magic.
