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

Chapter 296 - Ervas Evolution!



-----

Ervas opened his eyes, as they flashed with white, ethereal light.

​​

"What is happening to me?" wondered Ervas, glancing t his surroundings as he saw Gaia, Legion, and Grakgna in surprise.

Araba quickly came out of his crystal ball, as he had felt the strange presence that Ervas exuded.

"What… What is happening?!" he asked.

"I… I just changed Jobs… how odd," said Ervas.

"This presence is pretty similar to Divine Power… but it is in fact just Mana…!" said Araba.

"So you can tell?" asked Ervas.

"Indeed…! Although you don't seem to have ascended or something, you're in some kind of middle ground…" said Araba.

"Hm… Oh?"

As Ervas began to think about what was truly happening to him, his surroundings changed, as he found himself in a completely white space.

"Hm? Oh, my soul," said Ervas, glancing around.

The white space wasn't as white as before, as it was now being shrouded in a constant stream of yellow gold colors, flowing like rivers everywhere.

"This must be the 'life' of my soul… Interesting- Oh, there it is…" said Ervas.

He found out that the Void on his soul had increased in size quite exponentially since he last saw him when Kireina came to visit.

It seemed that it had increased around three times its size since that time…

Ervas could not help but think that something special would happen if his Void kept growing bigger.

More than simply being able to summon bigger monsters or something.

"Maybe if it gets big enough, I will be able to travel outside of it? There is this whole space outside… I am quite curious to explore it, to be honest… But it would be weird, as the void is inside of my soul… how can I travel through the void if what contains it is the soul itself? Going only with my consciousness might not work…" thought Ervas.

And as Ervas glanced through the Void, he noticed the constant streams of energy rushing inside of his soul, enveloping him completely and constantly nourishing him.

"This is… even more Mana… Sigh, Veronica might get a bit angry that my Mana might skyrocket once more…" thought Ervas, he did not want to make Veronica feel bad over her having less Mana than him. Although Veronica did not mind at this point.

As Ervas moved near the Void, he was able to see through it, as the vast cosmos of countless stars, the darkness of space, planets of all sizes and shapes, meteors, clouds, and more greeted his sight, beautiful scenery of dreams.

Ervas thought about the possibilities of traveling through space and everything that it could bring to him… Although he had many things to do in Kritias nonetheless, he was still very attracted to this idea.

However, he was completely unaware of the many mysteries and dangers lurking outside of the worlds, within the cosmos.

Most Gods did not step into these places for the same reason, a dangerous place filled with many resources but tremendous dangers after dangers.

Suddenly, Ervas noticed an oddly familiar planet within his vision.

It was completely blue, covered in a few landmasses of brown and green colors, and surrounded by a small moon.

"Eh? Is this… Earth?! No way…"

Ervas slowly manipulated his eyesight, increasing it and slowly nearing this place.

Although he could not get to see it in more detail, he was able to see the continents around the globe, and a few details within the moon's surface.

"Is this a dream? Or reality?" wondered Ervas, as he sighed, wishing to one day go there and find out if it was his original Earth… the one he once abruptly left behind due to that accident.

And as he watched, he noticed something strange within.

A wave of darkness, almost unnoticeable, was slowly seeping into the planet.

The energy seemed powerful, yet very hard to notice, it even had a strange, chaotic feel to it, similar to Kireina's Chaos Attribute Magic.

Ervas was left in shock…

"What is this?" he wondered.

For a moment, he even tried to use Appraisal on it, and it actually yielded very limited results…

[Planet Earth: A planet covered in water where many types of lifeforms exist]

[Moon: A natural satellite that rotates Earth]

[Space: Dark Matter that fills the emptiness of Space]

[Stars: Large spheres of energy that fill space]

[Chaos: Materialization of Chaos in the form of storms of corrupted miasma]

"Oh… I can even Appraise- Eh?! That last one looks a bit… Dangerous… What does this mean? 'Chaos'? Why? From where is this coming from…? Can I Appraise it again?" said Ervas.

Ervas tried to Appraise Chaos again, but he yielded no results.

As he glanced at the 'waves' of darkness, he quickly noticed that they were indeed more like storms in the middle of space, although Earth seemed unfazed by them, the energy was seeping deep into the planet, making Ervas feel like something bad was about to happen soon…

As much as he tried, he could not do anything about this, and in the end, he forced his way out of this strange mind domain-like state where he visited his own soul.

"My lord! Are you back?" asked Legion.

"Ervas! You suddenly fell asleep…" said Gaia.

"Yeah, kid, what was that?" asked Araba.

"Maybe he passed out or something?" asked Grakgna.

"I saw a few crazy things… And I think I saw my own world being… slowly corrupted by space miasma," said Ervas.

"E-Eh? Your old world?!" asked Araba.

"Long story short…"

Ervas then went to explain a few various things that Grakgna and Araba did not know, as they needed some explanations about stuff like Ervas and Veronica coming from another world.

"That's so mysterious! Your powers are really just filled with mysteries… I do not know what to say, really. I am overwhelmed…" said Araba.

"Well, I didn't expect you to say anything anyways… Time to evolve," said Ervas, deciding to tell what he saw afterward, probably tomorrow in the morning, as he now intended to evolve.

"What will I evolve into now? Another strange bloodline might awaken? I already have Vampire, Lich, Gray Wolf Beast-kin, and Dragon-kin Bloodlines… Each one of them brought me some cool Skills… Maybe Banshee will appear again… though the other one will be a complete surprise…" thought Ervas, finally glancing at his available Evolution Options.

[Available Evolution Options]

[Disease Djinn Vampiric Draconic Lich Beast Half-Demon]

[Dark Nether Banshee Vampiric Lich Dragon Beast Half-Demon]

"Two options…"

[Disease Djinn Vampiric Draconic Lich Beast Half-Demon]

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

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

[Dark Nether Banshee Vampiric Lich Dragon Beast Half-Demon]

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

This Hybrid race unlocks the [Banshee] Bloodline, the Bloodline of the Demons whose voices can make even the mightiest of warriors tremble in discomfort.

"Disease Djinn or Banshee? Well, Banshee has been suggested to me a few times already… Alright, I will just take it already," thought Ervas, quickly selecting his new evolution.

The moment he did, evolution triggered as his body started to ache all over!

"Unghh…!"

Unlike other times, Ervas body really did began to ache for some reason, making him extremely uncomfortable.

It was as if his bones, muscles, cartilage, and more, we're adapting, stretching, and growing anew around him.

It was probably the effect of his increased metabolism and growth through Demon Metabolism.

Alongside the intense aching, Ervas felt that something within his throat grew, it was as if his vocal cords had become stronger and wider…

Ding!
