Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!-Chapter 749 - The Dark Lord Of The Depths Frustration!

-----

The Dark Lord of the Depths felt furious.

It was filled with hatred because this entity had been forcefully sealed in this world all this time, with all these weakling creatures that it despised!

This monstrous being only knew about devouring and assimilating others, about adaptation and survival. It hated anyone that tried to stop it, and even more the weaklings that lived their lives leisurely despite knowing their frail lives filled with meaninglessness.

It offered her to become his pawn, an honor! But she refused just like that?

It only was filled with even more hatred.

A being that has traveled across the space and devoured other planets, absorbing their biomass, had been forced into becoming a plotter and schemer this entire time.

This, of course, had filled it with shame and anger, it was a being of little words and more action, but now, it had even tried to speak with this ant and the ant defied it!

Kill!

It immediately tried to kill her by destroying her soul, something that was possible within dreams where people emerged as their very souls.

His darkness extended as deadly whip-like tentacles, clashing against Manationia's soul.

She screamed in pain, asking it to stop.

But it wouldn't stop.

Or did it?

Suddenly, it really something…

"Ungh?!"

Its attacks topped in the last moment as it felt a strong pressure stopping it!

How could it be though? Such a powerful being was stopped?

Well, it was still a newbie in using dream magic, even more if it was taken into consideration that its soul wasn't actually that strong either, or was using just a lot of raw mana to make himself look terrifying inside dreams!

Unlike Demon Gods in Kritias with some nightmare manipulation powers, this entity wasn't even as strong as them when it came to that sort of battlefield!

Manationia used her magic as she desperately tried to make him stop.

And it worked!

FLASH!

Dream was another element of magic after all, and Manationia was made into a genius after eating the golden apple. She was stronger than the strongest magician title in this world, strongest than Sages.

Magic shaped to her will, if she wanted to manipulate a dream, dream magic would answer her call and help her as she used her will and her vast mana to shape the element that encompassed dreams and nightmares!

The Dark Lord of the Depths was left shocked as it was being damaged by her!

"Agghhh! Y-You little insect!" he cried in pain, as his small soul ended being weakened and even damaged!

A powerful vortex of pink smoke emerged against him, clashing over his dark body!

"I can't believe it…!" he cried in anger and frustration, deciding to retreat and leave Manationia alone…

…

She quickly opened her eyes, as Manationia looked around her room.

"Manationia! Were you having a nightmare? You were screaming while sleeping, girl!" said Octo worried.

"I… I had a nightmare… someone… the Dark Lord of the Depths tried to destroy my soul… Ungh… Sniff…"

Manationia began to weep a bit, she felt so scared. Despite having won, the fear was still within her, and the pain in her soul left behind was a strong reminder that her soul was very close to have been destroyed…

"D-Damn it! That bastard attacked you in your dreams?! Use the Soul Healing Spell I thought you the other day!" said Octo.

"Ah…! R-Right… Soul Recovery…"

Manationia conjured a Soul-Attribute Spell, Soul Recovery. Soul was also an element by itself, and it encompassed the manipulation of souls.

Amongst its mysterious repertoire of soul spells, there was the ability to heal and strengthen the soul.

She conjured the "Soul Recovery" Spell and began to heal her soul.

The pain slowly faded away, as she sighed in relief.

She cleansed her tears of sorrow and fear and sighed, while sitting in the bed.

"You're feeling better?" asked Octo.

"Y-Yeah… I was just… quite scared." She sighed.

"Alright, calm down for now, everything is okay… Good girl, you're strong, right? You're very strong." said Octo, as he calmed down the young girl.

Despite being so young, she had gone through a lot of things already, he had learned to calm her down and give her words to lift her up.

He petted her head with his tentacle until she felt a bit better.

"That bastard… did you fend him off?" asked Octo.

"Yeah… I don't know how but… I was able to…" said Manationia.

"That idiot attacked you in dreams where it is a battle of souls and dream magic! Even as strong as he is, his soul is very little compared to actual Demon Gods! He got more than he bargained for, that idiot! Your soul might be little too, but your magical talent gives you an advantage in the manipulation of dream magic, so you ended damaging him and he ended running away, I bet!" said Octo.

"Yes, I think that's what happened… Ugh, I am exhausted… I don't want to fight anymore…" she sighed.

"Well, keep resting… Here, I will teach you a spell to protect your soul and mind from attackers in nightmares… although it might still try to attack you, it will have a harder time doing so and you will realize and wake up in time." Said Octo. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

Manationia nodded.

"Okay!" 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

Manationia practiced the spell named Dream Protection and Nightmare Protection, and she conjured it countless times over herself.

After that, she went to sleep and finally could relax, sleeping for hours until around 1 PM of the next day.

"Yawn… I slept so well now… that spell was really good, thanks a lot, Octo!" she said with a cute and innocent tone of voice.

Octo felt a bit happy to see her having slept well.

"No problem, you and I are partners! I am your Guardian Spirit after all!" said Octo.

"Yeah… Thanks!" she said.

"Well, now that you woke up eat breakfast! After that… I don't know… I feel a bad feeling about this whole thing, the Cult might attack you if their damn god tried to do it first…" said Octo.
