Chapter 248: [A Mountain of War and Death] 33/?: Veronica's Job Changes

-----

Veronica glanced at how Ervas changed Jobs and leveled them up in various ways, seemingly as how she did it yesterday, which made her release a slight chuckle each time she saw him doing something out of his character.

After Ervas finished changing Jobs, he stood near her as he waited for her to change Jobs, as he knew that she might need his help like she did yesterday.

"Well, well, yesterday I changed a crapload of Jobs, so maybe I will get a crapload of new Jobs too? I can dream…" thought Veronica, glancing at her available Job Options.

[Jobs Available]

[Hollow Witch], [Tartarus Executioner], [Abyssal Soul Demon Armor], [Acheron Ferrier], [Demon Beast Queen], [Undead Metallic Arachnid Matriarch], [Demonic Shadow Phantasmal Soul Queen], [Abyssal Phantasmal Soul Warrior], [Gods Nemesis], [Abyssal Living Armory], [Great Self-Body Blacksmith], [Kelsus' Fragment User], [Thunderous Armored Tyrant Empress], [Invoker of Accursed Graveyards], [Undying Abyssal Curse Caster] (New!), [Giant Metallic Spectral Demon Overlord] (New!), [Living Demonic Mechanical Undead] (New!), [Abyssal Soul Shadow Ruler] (New!), [Accursed Phantasmagoric Flying Train] (New!)

"Five new Jobs! …And what the heck is that last one?! I am a Flying Train now?! That's…! That makes sense… I have shapeshifted into a giant train a few times already… But still, why is this System like this? It clearly likes to mock me!" thought Veronica, she felt as if she wanted to smack the System, but it was incorporeal, so she wasn't able to do anything to it… yet.

"Anyways, let's see the descriptions and blah, blah, blah…" thought Veronica, as she checked each Job description and information through her trusty Appraisal, the only cheat Skill given to her when she died on Earth.

The [Undying Abyssal Curse Caster] Job was a straightforward Job, that enhanced her Curse Eater and Curse Synthesis Skills, and seemed to bring some kind of corrections into the effectiveness of her Curses, the easiness of creating new Curses, and so on so forth.

The [Giant Metallic Spectral Demon Overlord] Job was a mysterious Job that seemed to have surged when Veronica shapeshifted into that metallic giant by fusing herself with Anir's Bone Marrow and Kelsus Dark Scales. It seems that the manifestation of that being was so impressive for the System that it ended being a Job of its own… Veronica thought that this Job might lead towards the path of shapeshifting into gigantic monsters.

The [Living Demonic Mechanical Undead] was another quite interesting and a bit of a mysterious Job, it brought upon the increase of many of Veronica's Skills that were related to her shapeshifting, such as Construction, Assembly, Engineering, Architecture, and so on, but it had the mysterious 'mechanical' word into it… Veronica began to wonder if in the future she would become a full-on technological mech, but for that, a lot of more Job changes, Skill level-ups, Evolutions, and more would be needed.

However, solely imagining herself becoming an enormous mech traveling through space while opening photon cannons on her chest and shoulders while wielding a laser blade made her excited.

Although she also thought about how much she had changed to begin to think that becoming an enormous mech would be an awesome thing, it seems that being a living armor had really changed her nature and mentality, but she was unclear if it were for the best… or the worst.

The [Abyssal Soul Shadow Ruler] Job was an interesting one as well, Veronica was simply getting very mysterious-sounding Jobs at this point, she could not help but feel excited but also quite concerned about what the System thought of her… This Job seemed to enhance all of her Soul and Phantom-related Skills, and the 'Ruler' part seemed to work in the way of strengthening things like the Commanding, Coordination, and Strengthen Followers Skills.

And last but not least, the [Accursed Phantasmagoric Flying Train] Job was… the weirdest of them all. It was a Job that, seemingly, had appeared just because Veronica was able to turn into a Train-shaped flying vehicle to carry people inside of her. The Job increased the level of Skills such as Space Expansion, Comfort Maintenance, Rough Road Travel, and so on, alongside those that were related to shapeshifting.

Veronica sighed, the Job was simply ridiculous in name, but the level-ups it brought were fairly useful.

However, because it was a new job, it would take its time to level up.

She decided to pick another Job, something that she knew could level up fairly quickly in this very instant.

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Hollow Witch]!]

[The Levels of the [Chant Revocation; Level 6], [Automatic Mana Recovery; Level 5], [Increased Mana Recovery Rate; Level 5], [No-Attribute Magic; Level 6], and [Mana Control; Level 7] Skills have increased!]

"Ah, it feels nice to change Jobs~," said Veronica, feeling the strengthening of her magic, she glanced at the sky, and through her strong eyesight, she localized a nice target.

"I guess I will do the same as you~," said Veronica, as Ervas glanced at her with curiosity, before his face became a bit concerned.

"W-Wait…" said Ervas.

"Shade, give me a hand~!" said Veronica.

"Hm? Sure…?" said Shade.

Veronica had already raised her arms as she called upon Shade, giving him her Mana, Shade helped her conjure a powerful ray of pure light and darkness entangled together into a cannon of destructive magic prowess, which flew through the sky, breaking through the wind and the clouds, and impacting something within the sky, releasing a thunderous sound and the roar of the pain of a dying beast.

BOOM!

"GROOOWL…!"

Another Dragon appeared from the sky, startling the people who had already begun to cook the one given by Ervas, the enormous corpse belonged to what seemed to be a Lesser Thunderstorm Dragon.

Clash!

The enormous corpse fell to the ground, creating a small tremor.

"A-Another offering…?" asked a startled Harpy Man.

"Yeah! Serve yourselves!" said Veronica with a bright smile, as the people were both a bit surprised, afraid, and happy to have someone so strong at their side.

"Y-Yeah, thanks a lot, Veronica-sama!"

"The Bear-kin eat a lot, so this will become nothing in a few minutes anyway!"

"Hahaha! That's right!"

"Yeah! We eat a lot, hahaha!" laughed Ragdaz at the Harpy men jokes.

"…That wasn't supposed to be something to be proud of," said Azra.

The Soul of the Lesser Thunderstorm Dragon was easily assimilated by Legion, making Ervas release a sigh.

"Ah, it's not like I can reprimand her or something, I did the same after all…" thought Ervas.

"How was that?" laughed Veronica.

"No comment…" said Ervas with his eyes closed.

Veronica glanced at her system window, as she glanced at the Job level up. Due to the Job being of a low level as of now, her mastery over the magic that it was needed to level up the Job fairly surpassed the needed amount, making it easy for her to level up the Job by simply killing a strong monster with a strong spell.

However, as Veronica grew stronger, and so would her Jobs, this method of doing things would not be as common. But for now, she was trying to abuse this 'bug' or whatever there was in the System that let her and Ervas easily gather power through leveling Jobs with such easiness.

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[User's Job has reached Level 100!]

"Hm, I think this was the last Job I could level up so easily, all of the rest seem complicated to level up, not centering solely on something in specific… Well, I will pick a Job that will be useful in the battle that is to come…" thought Veronica.

[You changed Jobs to [Giant Metallic Spectral Demon Overlord] Job!]

[The Levels of the [Surpass Limits: Soul: Level 2], [Soul Fusion: Level 2], [Kelsus & Anir Fusion: Level 2], [Aura of Fear; Level 5], [Body Form Manipulation; Level 7], and [Unarmed Fighting Technique; Level 9] Skills have increased!]

[The [Unarmed Fighting Technique: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Abyssal Metallic Demon-Fighting Technique: Level 1]!]

"Oh?! My Unarmed Fighting Technique… It awakened! Abyssal Metallic Demon-Fighting Technique?! That sounds incredibly eerie!" said Veronica, with a bit of cynicism in her tone.

"You… what?! You actually awakened a Skill? And how old are you… almost five months?! Unbelievable…" muttered Ervas.

"Hehe~! It seems that the name of this new technique is because of my body and soul that I use with the Unarmed Fighting Technique? Sounds pretty good… And the techniques, ah, I can feel as many new ones are surging inside of my mind, it has been a while since I awakened a Skill…" said Veronica.

"I might awaken my No Attribute Magic or Telekinesis Skills in the next battle… So I will catch up to you… on my own!" said Ervas, showing a determined smile.

"Oh? I see that you are in high spirits! Alright, let us go to eat, I am really starving now!" said Veronica, grabbing Ervas with her phantasmagoric arms as her armor suddenly turned into a beautiful black dress, running with the young boy towards the tribe.

"Y-You don't have to carry me around, you know…?"
