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

Chapter 45 - The Last Challenge Before Leaving The Dungeon! 3



"As long as you keep feeding me with spiders, you won\'t be able to overpower me with your curses!" shouted Veronica, slashing the spiders around her while firing projectiles in the form of greaves towards the Spider Queen in the ceiling.

Aqua cooperated as well, firing projectiles of her own while multi-tasking, taking care of the ever-growing, seemingly infinite amount of spiders that kept appearing through the eggs launched by the Spider Queen.

The Spider Queen glanced at Veronica with concern, it seems that she had not expected Veronica to be capable of using her skills to such heights!

For the many years that she lived in the dungeon, she thought of herself as the only one intelligent, above everyone else in this abyss!

Although Veronica\'s strategies were simple, to a monster such as the Spider Queen, they seemed like incredibly well-thought schemes! The moment she saw her absorb the corpses of her pawns; she almost skipped a beat out of surprise.

The Spider Queen screeched in rage, stopping to fire her eggs, and beginning to consider her next course of action.

As Veronica and Aqua slew and ate spiders, the floor slowly emptied itself. Although Veronica\'s team kept pressuring the Spider Queen by firing projectiles of all types towards her, she managed to evade them with \'Charge\' while keeping her Cursed Eyes activated at all times!

She was betting it all on this, chagrining even more of her Mana into cursing Veronica while evading her attacks.

However, she quickly realized that she could use her threads to trap her and go into the offensive, quickly doing so by releasing projectiles made out of thread from her abdomen.

"So you\'re finally using threads, it seems that she realized that her plans wouldn\'t work if I were to eat her children to gain HP…!" said Veronica, as Shade and Aqua helped her evade the hits while intercepting some.

Veronica\'s swift movements angered the Spider Queen, even more, screeching in anger and firing her thread projectiles with even more speed and precision.

Veronica used her soul, body, and Aqua\'s support into evading everything or intercepting it. The entire floor was already being filled with sticky, metallic threads all around. She used her soul to slash the threads away so she would not get stuck into them.

"It seems that she\'s going for a war of attrition in here, she is using her Curse, slowly diminishing my HP while firing any kind of projectiles to me so I can\'t put time into attacking her directly…!" said Veronica.

"However, your plan is flawed!" shouted Veronica, grabbing on the thread and using \'Absorption Healing\' on it.

"I bet you didn\'t expect that!" shouted Veronica, healing back most of her HP by absorbing the metallic thread scattered all around.

Veronica\'s ability to absorb materials was included most metallic things, and without the Spider Queen realizing, her thread had such composition. Although it was sticky and chewy, it still had some metallic attributes to it.

Veronica had kept silent about this, pretending that she was not capable of absorbing it so the Spider Queen could stockpile a lot of food for her!

Veronica chuckled as she glanced at the holographic window, the material of the thread had just been merged with her current Dusk Armor.

But what could come from her armor if it were to be fused with metallic and sticky threads…? What? You cannot guess it?

Veronica used her gauntlets to launch a series of strange projectiles… what were they?

The Spider Queen saw nothing at them, barely evading them… however, the moment they hit the ceiling, they detonated into threads!

Splash!

"Grisha?!"

As if Veronica used her enemy weapon against her, the Spider Queen, master of threads, was trapped by them!

Stuck to the ceiling, it desperately tried to destroy the threads by destroying them with her claws, however, to do so, she momentarily stopped looking over Veronica!

Slash!

The moment she freed herself, Veronica had suddenly appeared behind her, stuck into the ceiling by using her semi-liquid living armor and the capacity of the threads she could produce to stick to things.

The Spider Queen almost jumped from panic, losing her balance and falling to the ground.

"Grisshaaa!" shouted the Spider Queen, trying to get herself together and move into a safe position, however, it was too late!

"Aqua, let us do it! Charge! Piercing Kick!" shouted Veronica, her feet materialized as she covered them in her dark soul and gray phantom, for a moment, she resembled a living spear, piercing the Spider Queen\'s abdomen!

Clash!

"Giiishyaaaaaaa!"

The Spider Queen shrieked in agony, moving her body desperately, and struggling to grasp an opportunity to escape Veronica\'s piercing attack.

"You\'re not going anywhere!"

With Aqua\'s support, Veronica extended her body as if she were a slime herself, each tentacle wielding a solidified gauntlet, which she used to unleash Unarmed Fighting Techniques!

"Charge! Hammer Blow! Spear Attack! Slashing Claws! Piercing Attack!"

Clash! Clash! Clash!

Each blow attacked one of the Spider Queen\'s limbs, making its hard exoskeleton crack!

The Spider Queen struggled, although it did not know any type of technique, her claws were strong enough to destroy concrete with ease! She enhanced them with her Mana and crazily unleashed her own type of attacks.

"GYSSHIAAAA!"

"Y-you damned wench! Give it up already!" shouted Veronica.

"Veronica, it\'s ready!" shouted Shade.

"Now!" shouted Veronica.

Shade appeared from within Veronica\'s soul as it opened its scarlet eye and glared at the Spider Queen, flashing light-converging together into a flare of dazzling white!

"Light Ray!" shouted Shade, putting his all into this charged attack, a blast of light hit the Spider Queen\'s head directly!

Burning light began to roast her exoskeleton alive as she desperately tried to slip away, however, Veronica had her limbs tightly stuck inside of her flesh!

"GRIISHYAAAAA!"

"So resilient…! Just die and let me escape this damned dungeon!" shouted Veronica, her soul and phantom appeared from within her living armor body, resembling a demonic specter that came right from hell itself to reap the Spider Queen\'s soul!

"GRRIII!"

The last thing she saw before her mind lost its consciousness was Veronica\'s spectral soul. Raising its grotesque claws, they slashed her innards into tiny pieces… her last bits of Health Points dissipating…

SLASH! SLASH!

As Veronica destroyed the Spider Queen\'s last Health Points, she saw her soul… yellowish with a hint of green, an ethereal substance slowly dripping outside of the corpse.

"How about I make you regret your decision, even after death?!" shouted Veronica, mercilessly grabbing the Spider Queen\'s soul with her Soul and Phantom Claws, and slashing it into pieces!

The souls struggled in intense pain… fading away into nothingness…

Veronica\'s entire body fell over the Spider Queen\'s mashed up corpse…

Clank!

"It\'s over…" she muttered, letting a sigh of relief, her entire body bathed in innards.

"Guubo…" said Aqua, appearing from within Veronica\'s body and resting in the ground.

"You went a bit far there… was there any need to destroy her soul?" asked Shade.

"I was just pretty angry, you know. We were finally going to the surface and this fiend comes and tries to kill us, destroying all our hope… I just wanted to make her completely hopeless, even after finally dying…" said Veronica.

"Quite merciless. But it is understandable. What\'s done is done…"

"Well, there was also the hidden intention of wanting to try if I was capable of destroying a soul with my own! It seems that it worked, fufu" laughed Veronica, devilishly.

"Strangely enough, such intentions seem befitting of you… Haha" laughed Shade.
