Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!
Chapter 99 - Goliath, The Steel Fist!-----
Ervas and Veronica glanced at the tall Giant Goblin, a Rank 5 monster and a variant or evolution of a Goblin monster, they resembled Goblins but were over three meters tall, had burly muscles and thick green skin. Differently than similar monsters such as Ogres, they were weaker and lacked greater strength or control over their power, but were also more intelligent and cunning. ??
However, this Giant Goblin was being used by the Hobgoblin group as a meat shield, and as the group was being slaughtered by the party, it was separated by Veronica and Ervas.
This Giant Goblin's body was covered in scars and seemed to be devoid of any of the cunning intelligence typical of goblins, as it was treated like a beast and grew wild and uncontrollable.
Ervas was practicing his techniques with the help of Veronica against this Rank 5 monster.
Although he was only Rank 4, Ervas the power of Jobs, something that monsters lacked, due to this, he could easily match a Rank 5 monster or even a Rank 6.
With Veronica's guidance, he was trying to meld his Telekinesis alongside his Shield Technique, Armor Technique, and Unarmed Fighting Technique.
It was harder than he had ever imagined, but it seemed to be slowly showing results.
Creating a barrier of Telekinesis cost thousands of mana per second, but due to Ervas ridiculous Mana quantity, it was possible to create one, and as he did, he also infused the power of Shield and Armor techniques into such barriers.
He let the Giant Goblin punch his barriers to see their durability.
The giant fits and jabs fell like meteors over Ervas, as the transparent barriers blocked each hit with great masterfulness.
"Telekinesis Wall, Telekinesis Armor"
Two days have passed since Ervas acquired these techniques, and he had already created three techniques that integrated his 'Telekinesis' skill into them.
Telekinesis Wall was the Shield Technique, which created a transparent wall of mental power created through mana, it could extend up to five meters and could block the over one hundred kilograms fists of the Rank 5 Giant Goblin with ease… of course, each blocked attack cost around fifty thousand mana to Ervas, it was clearly not an efficient way to use Mana, but due to his Mana quantity, it was perhaps a good way to do so.
Telekinesis Armor was an even more advanced Armor Technique that blended Telekinesis into it to create a momentary armor made out of transparent mental power created through pure mana, Ervas used it when his Barriers brock down to receive the Giant Goblin hits without getting all of his innards crushed, but because he flew around with the No Attribute Spell 'Flight' incredibly swiftly, this did not happen… as much.
"GRRYAAAA!"
The Giant Goblin was enraged over Ervas's evasiveness as it was infuriated by the barriers that kept blocking his blows, each barrier was incredibly hard as well, and would break down his hand's fingers into pieces, causing severe pain.
If it were not because the Giant Goblin possessed the 'Rapid Healing' skill at Level 3, his hands would have already been made into a meat and bone paste.
"RAAAA!"
Roaring with anger, the Giant Goblin raised its fist as they seemed to be covered momentarily by a blue glow.
"So you know Unarmed Fighting Technique too?"
"GRAAAA!"
The Giant Goblin unleashed a series of jab meteors enhanced by his small amount of mana in a desperate attempt to finally finish off the annoying fly that was pestering him.
Ervas evaded and blocked each attack with swift movements while he readied his own attacks. Large amounts of Mana converged on his fists as the semi-transparent figures of giant fists appeared atop his tiny hands.
"I like your style; I will copy it. How about… Telekinetic Onslaught" said Ervas with a flat tone, as the giant fists made out of Telekinetic energy overcharged with his vast Mana and furiously unleashed countless punches over the Giant Goblin, matching its speed and quickly surpassing it, each blow was blocked by these fits as the attacks deeply seeped on the Giant Goblins' flesh, breaking its bones apart one by one, its innards busted as the giant vomited blood and fell over the ground with a thunderous sound.
"GRAAA-"
Boom!
Ervas glanced at the Giant Goblin as its Health Points dropped to zero and his soul slowly began to surge from within his body.
"Come here," said Ervas, grabbing the soul with his spectral claws.
"Gyaaaooo!"
"Sorry"
Ervas exerted an immense strength over the soul with his claws, infusing large quantities of mana until the soul's core began to crack like a sphere made out of glass.
Crack!
"G-GYYYYY"
Crack, crack!
"GRRYYA-"
Crash!
Ervas eyes glanced with a lifeless expression as the soul of the Giant Goblin shrieked in agony, breaking apart into pieces and dying out even after death.
"There is quite a bit of guilt in doing this to random monsters… the souls didn't really choose to be reincarnated as monsters??? but it is necessary to acquire the skill and level it up, so I am willing to bear with it… but later on, it would be better to only use such power in the souls of those that I really want to make disappear for good," thought Ervas, as a system window greeted his sight.
Ding!
[You acquired the [Soul Break; Level 1] Skill!]
"I got it, Veronica," said Ervas with a mild smile.
He glanced at the pieces of the Giant Goblin's soul as they slowly began to dissipate into dust.
"I wonder if I can do something about this guy?" he thought, using his spectral soul to wrap the pieces before they disappeared and using large quantities of mana into them until they forcibly stuck together.
Ervas then used the 'Soul Binding' Skill and put the soul back into the Giant Goblin's corpse, raising it as an Undead.
Veronica who was watching at the sides approached Ervas to congratulate him for his progress and then glanced at the Giant Goblin raise again from death.
"I felt too guilty for breaking his soul so I repaired it… but I think that it might have some mistakes," said Ervas.
"Repaired? What?!"
"Gaaah… Gahh? Gah! Gah!"
The Giant Goblin Zombie sat down on the floor as he began to act strangely.
"This is… I guess destroying souls is easier than repairing them…" muttered Ervas as he saw the Giant Goblin Zombie act strange as if it were suffering.
"I think it wouldn't be a good idea to let it inhabit that body like this, just let it go away, the dungeon should cleanse it and repair the parts that you missed," said Veronica.
"Hm… okay," said Ervas, releasing the Giant Goblin's soul from its former body, the soul was enchanted by Veronica and Ervas, but it was quickly sucked by the dungeon reincarnation cycle.
"Giant Goblins are rare, we could use this corpse to make a new companion… but let's put more sane souls," said Veronica, pointing at the hundreds of dead spirits floating around the two.
"Chose me!"
"No, me!"
"I was good at magic!"
"No, me! Me! Me!"
"Chose me, prince and queen! I was once called the Steel Fist in the Kingdom of Aquaria!"
Amongst the many souls, there was one of an old man in his forties who had his entire body covered in terrible wounds, of course, this was only its appearance.
"Oh? Okay then, come join us" said Ervas alongside Veronica, as they controlled him and used 'Soul Binding' to bind the dead spirit of this man who was once called 'Steel Fist' into the corpse of the already completely healed Giant Goblin courtesy of Gaia.
The Giant Goblin body then stood up, its dead eyes gleaming in an eerie light.
"I am back to life! …or death?"
"Welcome to the party… err, what's your name?" asked Veronica.
"I don't remember! Call me however you want, masters!" said the Giant Goblin Zombie with a cheerful demeanor as he began to inspect his large body while doing stretches to get used to it.
"How about Goliath?" asked Ervas.
"Sounds fitting," said Veronica.
"Goliath? I like it!" laughed Goliath, practicing his Unarmed Fighting Technique against some Giant Lizards, Rank 3 monsters that began to approach the party.
The lizards flew around the air like ragdolls by Goliath's giant fists.
"He didn't lie, he's actually quite good…" muttered Veronica.
"Gahahahaha! Come at me! I am Goliath, the Steel Fist! Back to life, baby! …or death?"
