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

-----

As the party kept talking through the night, Jason, Aqua, and Charlotte decided to sleep for the rest of the night, leaving Veronica and Ervas alone. ??

Both glanced at the night and the sea of stars, alongside the large and beautiful moon, shining brightly at the sky.

"The moon and the stars… They're so beautiful" said Veronica.

"We didn't see them when we were Anastacia, didn't we?" asked Ervas.

"Indeed… I remember that the teachers said that the moon was often darkened more commonly because the Dark Goddess Nymera, The Goddess of The Moon and the Night was wounded by the Bright Gods. The same was for her sister, the Dark Goddess Zilmera, the Goddess of the Stars and Constellations… Although they said that the moon and the stars were often darkened, we never truly saw them at night…" answered Veronica.

Nymera and Zilmera were Goddesses belonging to the Dark Gods Pantheon, they were Gods born for the most part from the flesh of the Great Dark God Kelsus, which corpse created Kritias alongside the Great Bright God Anir.

Their Divine Authorities were related to the Moon, the Night, Stars, and Constellations, every night that someone saw the bright moon and the dazzling stars and constellations, it was a sign that the goddesses were happy or active, blessing the world with a beautiful night.

"They were nights, indeed… but if the Moon and the Stars are bright tonight, it means that in this Kritias, those Goddesses seem to be fine and healthy…" said Ervas.

"Have we been reborn in a Kritias where the great god war hasn't started yet?" Veronica asked.

"According to the info from the mercenary, we are in the time right after the Bright Gods were betrayed by the Dark Gods… so the great war where our previous life father fought against the Hero of Light hasn't started yet,"

"I wonder if there will be the same people as that Kritias? If, according to basic geography and religion, all the gods from there are present in here alongside the continents, countries, and nations…"

"You mean…? Veronica, do you want to meet our previous life parents…? But they aren't our parents anymore, aren't they?" asked Ervas.

"Well, yeah… I guess it is a stupid thing to think about," said Veronica.

"It is… but I wouldn't mind meeting them, even if not as their children anymore, perhaps as friends or companions… I wonder if our previous life father is the current Demon King of this Kritias, or someone previous in the generation," said Ervas.

"I wonder that as well… And what about our previous life mother? I remember that she was the princess of an Elf Nation that lived near our Demon Nation… so if we go there, we might see her, as Elves are long-lived, she might be quite young though," said Veronica.

"You're right. There is a lot of things to do…" sighed Ervas.

"So, are you explaining to me from where is that Mana coming?" asked Veronica.

"And you are explaining to me from where your strange, unfitting skills for a Living Armor are coming from?" asked Ervas.

To further have a better synergy in battles, both Ervas and Veronica ended up explaining each other skills and special abilities. Ervas shared what he saw when he 'opened' the void of his soul. Alongside the strange entity that greeted him, who seemed to be related to his bloodline.

"That thing… so your demon race can summon otherworldly beings? I do not remember such a race in our previous life! And… gates to other worlds?!"

"Yeah, it seems that from the Kritias we came from, this race of demons was already extinct. If I develop my abilities enough, we might be able to travel through worlds. Though I don't know how that will even happen…" muttered Ervas.

"Wait, are you telling me that you have a Summon Skill, and you haven't even used it?!" shouted Veronica.

"I… never had the time, I should do it now," said Ervas, floating to a clear area near the bonfire and activating the Summon Skill.

The moment Ervas activated the Skill, he felt that his mind was transferred inside of his Soul Void, a completely white space.

There, he saw but endless white void… and a black hole, connecting to a different place.

"I'm again in here?"

Ervas glanced at the black hole, the void.

"Ah, you finally can summon. Here, make sure to take good care of him," said the entity, appearing out of nowhere.

From within the void, a small creature emerged… it was completely covered in white and bright light, so Ervas could not see it properly.

"Thanks, I will make sure to take good care of him… but can you tell me who you are? From, where are you?" asked Ervas.

"Me? Well, it is complicated… I am just… someone from another world, let us leave it at that," said the entity.

"I see… I do not want to sound rude with more questions… but, do you have a connection with our family of demons? What about my mother, do you know her?" asked Ervas.

"You indeed are quite the curious one… I do have a connection with them, the Dagvaarder Demon of Kritias. But I have never been able to talk with them so openly before. According to them, I would always sound like loud and inaudible screeches… but your race and unique soul does let me transmit wavelengths that are understandable for you… And about your mother, I do not know her whereabouts, but I do remember that she was given a child from one of my… relatives," said the entity.

"Another summoning creature?" asked Ervas.

"Indeed. Questions are over, for now, I must slumber for a few millennia, see you soon," said the entity.

"A few millennia?"

Ervas's mind was then dragged back to reality, where he saw a small magic circle appear in the ground.

"Something is coming!" said Veronica, glancing at a small creature appear from within the magic circle.

"Ah… I am back. Oh?"

Ervas glanced at the creature. It resembled a small, short-tentacled green octopus, with bat-like wings of the same color as its glossy and slimy skin. It had the size of a house cat, and it flew around curiously.

"Bilililili" it said, inspecting its surroundings. It glanced at Veronica for a few seconds and then flew towards Ervas, glancing him at in his eyes.

"Hello, are you that entity child?" asked Ervas.

"Bilililililili" it said, with a strange screech, a sound that no creature in the world could do, it was alien in its entirety.

Veronica was baffled by the strange yet adorable creature, inspecting it with her Appraisal.

"Otherworldly Aberration Spawn…? What a name… It is a Rank 3 monster, quite strong for being so small! But ridiculously cute, indeed. It packs a lot of interesting skills," said Veronica.

"I see… so this is the inheritance of my mother… How should I call you?" wondered Ervas.

"Bilililili" said the Aberration, sitting on Ervas head, which seemed comfy for it.

Splash!

"You like it there? But you're going to wake Gaia up…" said Ervas.

Gaia then woke up from her sleep and began to do a tantrum, until she calmed down and slept with the Aberration.

"Any name? It reminds me of some fictional entities from Earth…" said Veronica.

"Indeed, I will name him Cthulhu, it reminds me of it a little bit," said Ervas.

"Good name! Now, time for you to rest a bit as well, young man!" said Veronica.

"And what about you?" asked Ervas.

"I don't need to sleep, I am an Undead… but I will rest a bit my mind, it still a bit tired. I will remain alert; your plants and Nick will give me company" said Veronica.

"Alright, good night," said Ervas, floating where his father was, who was sleeping over a bed made out of several pelts extracted from Giant Demon Rats and Horned Rabbits.

Veronica sat down on a log and glanced at the moon.

"Things will get exciting… We should probably take the shortest route to the Port City of this Continent… still, it will be quite the long travel…" said Veronica.

"It seems that everything resolved itself quite well," said Shade, from within Veronica's shadowy soul.

"Yeah…" said Veronica, smiling.
