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

Chapter 309 - [War Against Humans] 4/?: Ginnungagap! Bestellen’s Intervention!

-----

Ginnungagap, the gaping abyss, the yawning void, the name of the primordial Void within Norse Mythology and its ancient cosmology.

??

Ervas had chosen to give such a name to his new Spell, a Spell born in this battle after he racked his brains while fighting.

He knew that the only way to finally find inspiration was in such a life-and-death situation.

And he finally managed to breakthrough.

Just as its name implied, an enormous void emerged from within Ervas' soul, expanding and changing the appearance of the world for Graham at his side.

"…W-What?! Spatial Magic… I've never seen it being used like this!" said Graham, as he tried to oppose the gaping abyss that began to devour everything.

"Flashing Heavenly Light! Anir's Palms! Supernova!"

Flash!

Graham generated an immense wave of light that covered the gaping abyss for a split of a second, afterwards, enormous palms made of light emerged, trying to resist the abyss but being ultimately completely consumed, and then, an enormous sphere of light appeared from within his light aura, detonating into an explosion of blinding yellow gold light!

BOOM!

Graham smiled, as he sensed that something had happened, Ervas spell seemed to not be as frightening as he had thought!

However.

"…This… It even resisted my Supernova!" said Graham out loud, as the gaping abyss extended, beginning to devour everything around Ervas as Graham found himself trapped in this abyss!

Space began to contract, as Graham tried to attack Ervas, but each of his attacks was simply absorbed by the void…

"T-This… No! This cannot be… my end! I was destined to triumph!" roared Graham, as he released as much magic power as he could, but ultimately, the entire void consumed him, breaking him apart as Ervas closed his fists!

"Unnggggyyaaaaaaahhh…!"

Clash!

The void disappeared within Ervas hands, as he closed them and opened them again, now not even the corpse remained… what a terrifying power.

"Ungh…! I… I did it…! Just how much Mana did I consume? I'm almost empty…" muttered Ervas, barely hanging on the sky.

Due to the immense prowess of Ginnungagap, the cost of Mana that this Spell required was ridiculous, to the point that he almost used the hundreds of millions of mana he had as a reserve.

He was now barely hanging out with the few millions left, but he knew that if his Mana were to reach a lower number, he would suffer what is often called 'Mana Sickness' which might even come with permanent damage to the soul.

When someone exhausted their usage of Mana to their very limits, 'Mana Sickness' might trigger, making them incredibly exhausted, to the point that even the soul, where all this Mana comes from, will feel tired.

However, as Ervas' Soul Void began to fill him with more Mana, he began to slowly recover…

He glanced around but noticed something weird.

"Eh? Where is… Graham's soul?" wondered Ervas, as his eyebrows furrowed, feeling that something was wrong in here…

Graham experienced death, as he suddenly found himself in a strange place.

There, enormous titans greeted his sight, each one of them seemed to represent an attribute of the world.

Although he did not truly recognize them, he recognized the biggest one in the center, with a long white beard and shiny yellow eyes.

"Ah…! This is… Bestellen-sama?!" asked Graham, as he kneeled.

"Graham, you have perished by that Half-Demon's power," said Bestellen.

"I… died?!" asked Graham.

"You indeed do so. The demon's power was something not even I expected. The type of magic he used seems to defy the very fabric of this world… Something that should not exist, to begin with. He had most likely brought it from another world… from the world where that otherworldly invader came from…!" said Bestellen.

"I… I have failed. My lord… Please, punish your lowly servant for its weakness!" cried Graham, he had failed the challenge that Bestellen had thrown into his path so he could grow and become stronger from that, however, Bestellen seemed to have different plants for his soul.

"No, your battle is not over yet. Your soul seems… strong enough," said Bestellen, as he raised his index finger, as a ray of light flew towards Graham, showering his entire soul with divine power!

"A-Aaaaahh! W-What is this?! My lord! This power… Nnngguuooooohhhhhh…!"

The other Gods glanced in silence at what their sibling was doing, Bestellen was clearly in a hurry to defeat the half-demon who had brought a dangerous alien such as Kireina to this world, and he was willing to spend some of his power to finally get things done.

Although three of the Gods present did not seem to want the half-demon boy's death, trying to stop Bestellen would only make him grow even more suspicious of them, and they might even end up sealed by his Divine Power.

Even with three against one, Bestellen had a clear advantage, as he was within his Divine Realm, where hundreds of his Subordinate Gods were present, alongside this, he possessed the Divinity of Law, giving him the power to suppress all the other Gods Divinities to an extent.

They could only glare at Bestellen who seemed dead serious into this task, granting this wicked mortal soul a power that should not be given so lightly.

Bestellen even seemed a bit desperate.

"Now descend, and defeat that demon, Graham!" said Bestellen, as Graham's entire soul quality seemed to have changed completely, shrouded in golden light and divine power, and alongside this, a small little gift.

"This power… my lord! What is this?" asked Graham, as his fascination simply grew to an insane level, as if he weren't insane enough already.

"Use this with care. This is one of Anir's Fragments," said Bestellen.

However, the moment he granted this power to Graham, the other Gods could not stay still anymore.

"Bestellen, what are you doing? Giving a fragment to a mortal… what are you even thinking?!" asked Uphy.

"My brother I believe you're going way too far…" muttered Chaneyr.

"Are you really that desperate, Bestellen? We should find another way instead of giving such a dangerous item to a mortal!" said Phunana.

"Silence. If we have the opportunity to kill him, I will take it, now go, Graham!" said Bestellen, showering Graham's soul with even more power as he was teleported out of the Divine Realm just as he appeared in here.

Bestellen glared from within the skies down below, where the battlefield unfolded.

"I might not be strong enough to intervene myself… But this should be enough. I don't believe that that Demon had grown to the point of being a Demigod, right?" asked Bestellen with a firm tone, as the other Gods remained in silence.

Flash!

As Ervas slowly descended towards the battlefield to aid his allies, a flash of light that descended from the sky emerged, shaking the entire devil forest!

Boom!

"Demon King! Bestellen-sama has given me the power to fight you once more!" laughed an awfully familiar voice…

"Graham…?!" muttered Ervas, as he glared at the arc of light slowly dissipate, as a glowing figure of a muscular man made entirely out of blinding yellow light emerged, he wore golden robes and paladin-themed armor made all of this light, alongside a long staff.

However, Ervas noticed something odd not only in his whole presence but within that presence.

A strange fragment seemed deeply rooted into his soul, which made his eyes even more bright than his ethereal body.

"Anir's… fragment?" wondered Ervas, as Graham disappeared from his place and appeared right before Ervas!

"Teleportation? No… He's just that fast," thought Ervas, as he generated a barrier through Void Absorption, Psychokinesis, and Void King Magic, and reinforcing it with Shield and Armor Techniques.

Graham smiled, as, within that same millisecond, his staff hit Ervas directly, clashing through his barriers and sending him flying towards the ground!

BOOM!

Everyone on the battlefield noticed this, as Veronica quickly moved with her main body towards Ervas, leaving Albert fighting against Anna.

"She just escaped!" said Albert, his entire body was tattered in wounds, but his power and stamina were admirable, even though Veronica was not going all serious against him.

"Well, well, I can take care of you, big guy," said Anna with a smile as her axe began to release dark lightning around her.

"Another of the Demon's servants… come at me then!" said Albert, clashing his large sword against Anna's axe, releasing a loud explosion of magic attributes clashing against each other.

Jason who was crushing templars left and right noticed that something too strong had suddenly appeared, rushing near Ervas as he was already dying out of concern since Ervas started fighting Graham.

It was only because Ervas asked him to not interfere that he did not just come to aid his son, but now that things were not going completely according to plan, he decided to break that promise and rush to aid his son, leaving his several companions fighting against the strong templars and battle popes.

Ervas felt dizzy, although he had absorbed most of the damage through his barriers, Graham's attack still reached him and hit him with a rather strong force.

His body naturally started to recover, as he glared at the sky.

"How… what happened?" wondered Ervas.

He was completely confused.

He was sure to have killed Graham, and was now looking for his soul…

However, his soul disappeared, and now, he just came back with immense strength, although his body was not there.

"Did… What? Is… Are the Gods looking at us as we fight? Is this why Graham's soul disappeared and then came back charging with so much Divine Power?" wondered Ervas.

"This means that… Has Graham been forcefully ascended into some kind of subordinate god or heroic spirit?" wondered Ervas.

"Gahahaha! Demon King, you are still alive even after that?! Amazing!" laughed Graham's voice, flying towards Ervas at max speed!
