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

"Criiiii!" ??

"Criisha!"

Shrouded in the shadows of her soul, Veronica shaped it with 'Shadow Manipulation' to shape her soul like long claws, while Aqua used her slime tentacles to wield Veronica's gloves and release a barrage of powerful jabs.

"Charge! Soul Materialization!"

Veronica bypassed the cricket's defenses with her ethereal shadow soul and then materialized it when it entered the inside of their bodies, crushing their innards.

"Gu, gu, gu, gu, guuu!"

Aqua's barrage of jabs contributed to keeping the fiends in check, as they jumped from all sides trying to smash Veronica with their strong charge.

"Shade!" shouted Veronica.

"On it! Light Ray!" shouted Shade, firing five highly-concentrated Light Rays towards the affected crickets. The powerful magic attack bypassed their defenses and directly hit their Resistance stat, which was particularly low.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

"Criiiiiiihh…!"

"Criishiiaaa…!"

Two crickets fell to the floor, their exoskeletons were cracked by Aqua's onslaught of jabs, while their eyes were burned by Shade and their innards destroyed by Veronica, however, a few more crickets were left, still hanging on life.

A cricket appeared from Veronica's back, trying to jump towards her with 'Charge' to hit her with the strength and speed of a bullet.

Flash!

However, Aqua responded before that, as Veronica was too busy dealing with the fiends in front of her. Aqua raised Veronica's shield and defended her from the attack by imitating her master 'Shield Technique', coating the shield with her own mana.

Clash!

"Guuu!" Shouted Aqua, raising her 'fists' and smashing the cricket far away with a powerful shower of jabs.

Both Veronica and Aqua felt a rush of Experience Points cover their bodies, it seems that Aqua had managed to defeat the monster by herself!

"Good one, Aqua!" shouted Veronica, giving encouraging words, as she unleashed slashes with her claws-shaped soul, the darkness from within destroyed the insect-type monster's innards with ease, as Shade finished them off with a powerful and concentrated ray of light.

Flash!

"Criii…!"

However, Veronica didn't have any time to relax whatsoever, as two masses of liquid metal approached her body, trying to entangle her from the sides!

Metal Slimes were slower than slimes such as Aqua, but their entire bodies were incredibly heavy, and also possessed outstanding defense and strength.

And with projectile fire…

Bang!

"Blooob!"

Clash!

Aqua quickly protected Veronica from a large, metallic bullet fired from one of the Metal Slimes, due to the composition of their bodies, they were able to fire incredibly heavy spheres of liquid metal, far deadlier than the conventional slime bullet fired by other subspecies of Slimes.

"Guushaa!" shouted the Metal Slime, firing even more bullets from afar, while the other extended its body into tentacles while trying to entangle Veronica, but by using 'Charge', she managed to evade in time.

Bang! Bang!

Two metallic bullets were fired from behind Veronica, Aqua intercepted one and the other managed to hit Veronica's shoulder, blowing away a large piece of her armor.

"Shit!"

Veronica used the speed boost of 'Charge' to evade the insistent Meta Slime that was crawling through the ground, as it suddenly began to fire bullets as well!

Aqua was pressured and used Veronica's shield with greater speed than she had ever done to intercept the powerful blows of the bullets, while Veronica conjured Shadow Balls and Shade Light Rays to the two Slimes, their bodies seemed to be resistant to even magic, barely scratched!

"These things are incredibly resilient…" muttered Veronica, as she felt the presence of the enemy that had been lying low this whole time, the Wall Mimic, who rushed like a mad bull from her left side!

"Guooon!"

"Veronica!" shouted Shade, firing a powerful Light Ray towards the Mimic??s open, fleshy tentacle-like mouth. The heat generated by the powerful light burned the red flesh of the fiend as it shrieked in pain, twisting its formless body and moving to the side. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

Veronica jumped with the help of Aqua and her 'Charge' Skill and bared her fist with Aqua's help and her own soul, entangling both her materialized soul and Aqua's slime, she released a series of powerful Unarmed Fighting Technique attacks that included her fists and legs, the Wall Mimic didn't have any time to retaliate and was put into a passive position.

The Metal Slimes began to shower Veronica with their bullets, as she used the giant body of the Wall Mimic to cover herself while jumping around and diminishing the Mimic's Health Points.

"Hammer Blow!"

Unifying her two hands into one, she enhanced her arms and body with her Soul, Mana, and Aqua's help, unleashing a powerful force that broke apart the Mimic's 'head', splashing her entire body with red blood and innards.

Clash!

"Ushiaaa…!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Veronica finished another of her foes, but she could not even have a rest yet! The other two Slimes kept firing bullets while slowly approaching. Veronica decided to evade and intercept the bullets with her shield and Aqua's support while firing Shadow Balls and Light Rays with Shade's help.

Using the large body of the mimic, she protected herself by making the hard brick-like scales that covered the red-colored fleshy body of the Wall Mimic.

"Magic is barely dealing any damage to them… and I don't think that my Unarmed Fighting Techniques could easily damage liquid metal that can easily take on hits and mold itself without problems…" muttered Veronica.

"No matter how resilient they might be, they will die if their Health Points run to zero, right?" asked Shade, who was a bit knowledgeable about the System.

"You're right, but doing it so slowly won't get us anywhere…"

Veronica, Shade, and Aqua worked together while firing projectiles towards the two Metal Slimes that crawled through the floor at a slow pace while firing bullets.

Just as Veronica was glancing at them intensively while using her 'Special Five Senses' Skill, she found that they had a Slime Core as well, deep inside of their liquid metal bodies, which were made out of hardened silver.

"If we destroy the Slime Core, no matter how resilient and sturdy their outside bodies are, they should die… Alright! Everyone, let us go!"

Veronica moved to the sides and covered herself in Aqua, using Stealth and Camouflage, she gave herself a small window where the Metal Slimes lost their sight of her for a few seconds before finding her again.

"Charge!"

Using the speed boost of 'Charge', Veronica athletically jumped, unbefitting of a living armor like herself, and used her legs as if they were sharp spears, piercing the clueless nearby Slime!

"Piercing Kick! Spear Attack!"

Clash! Clash!

By consecutively using piercing techniques alongside her Soul and Aqua's support, Veronica managed to catch the Metal Slime by surprise and made its heavy, liquid metal body move to the side, slowly revealing its shiny, metallic core!

"There!"

Veronica extended her arm with Aqua's help as she revealed sharp claws made out of her solidified dark and ominous soul, grabbing on the core and crushing it with tremendous force!

Crack, crack!

"Guuuusshhiiiaaa!"

The Metal Slime shrieked in agony as its liquid metal body lost its life, flowing through the floor aimlessly.

The last Metal Slime quickly detected what was going on and began to release a meteor shower of bullets towards Veronica while slowly approaching her by crawling through the floor, then, it extended a long tentacle, trying to catch over Veronica's leg.

Veronica jumped and then crushed the tentacle with her 'Piercing Kick'. By using the force of the kick, she jumped again over the last Metal Slime!

"You're the last one? Now die and let me live in peace!" shouted Veronica, she was already 'tired' of fighting monsters endlessly and only desired for this to stop so she could 'take a break' for once.

"Aqua, Shade!"

"Guuboo!"

"Light Ray!"

Aqua multitasked as she had never done in her life, on one side she fired high-pressured water projectiles and on the other side, she supported Veronica's movements with her slime tentacles, increasing her master's flexibility and strength.

Meanwhile, Shade did not drop a sweat as he continued to absorb Veronica's generous and large Mana Pool, firing concentrated Light Rays to diminish the resilient fiend at least a bit more.

"Guuushiiiii…!"

The Meta Slime tried to fend off the attacks that barely scratched it but was surprised by Veronica's surprise attack, as she used 'Piercing Kick' and 'Spear Attack'. For a small moment, her two greaves resembled sharp spears, piercing the Metal Slime's formless body, and moving it away to finally reveal its core!

Clash, clash!

"T-There! Soul Materialization! Shadow Manipulation!"

Veronica extended her soul as a long arm to grab the core, as her two arms were being used to relinquish the Metal Slime's tentacles!

"Die already…!"

Crack, crack!
