Seeing how Ervas changed Jobs three times, mostly because he selected Jobs not oriented in battle and then repeatedly used the required skill to level them up, Veronica decided to 'try' to do the same… it had happened with her a few times before, but she was not sure for it to be possible as commonly as with Ervas, mostly because she had many battle-oriented Jobs options.

​​

"I can help you out with my Mana if you want," said Ervas.

Veronica smiled as she patted Ervas silky white hair.

"Well, I hope you're not the only cheat in here… Hm, I wonder if we could do the same with the other citizens and people… like letting them max early mage jobs by supplying them with mana so they can constantly conjure spells?" asked Veronica.

"It should be possible, but as more advanced the Jobs become, the harder is this. At most it would work in Apprentice Jobs and maybe the Mage Job afterward… the rest would need experience points from defeating monsters to level up faster and more efficiently… we also possess three divine protections, which increases our growth more than anyone here, so it is to be expected that they shouldn't be able to imitate what we can do" said Ervas.

"You're right…" said Veronica, checking her available Job Options.

[Jobs Available]

[Armored Thrower], [Cursed Armor Brawler], [Phantasmal Armored Shield User], [Armored Artillery User], [Soul Breaker], [Metallic Thread User], [Armored Tamer Mistress], [Murderous Metallic Mistress], [Hollow Witch], [Self-Body Alchemist Crafter], [Cursed Shapeshifting Demon Vehicle], [Tartarus Executioner], [Abyssal Soul Demon Armor], [Synthetic Phantasmal Engineer], [Malevolent Necromancer Witch of Dead Spirits], [Metallic Self-Golem Transmuter], [Acheron Ferrier], [Demon Beast Queen] (New!), [Undead Metallic Arachnid Matriarch] (New!)

"Two new Jobs! …Demon Beast Queen? …And what is going on with that last Job?! Since when I am an arachnid?!"

"You acquired the Demon Beast Queen Job? I got the Demon Beast King, so it must be similar… it is because of our recent titles" said Ervas.

"Oh! Those titles… it makes sense, but why Demon?" asked Veronica.

"Because of our dream… and our people," said Ervas telepathically.

"How couldn't I realize it earlier…? You're right…" said Veronica.

"And what is the other Job?" asked Ervas.

"It is named… Undead Metallic Arachnid Matriarch," said Veronica.

"Weird…" muttered Ervas.

"I know, right? It is incredibly weird, what kind of job is this? I am not an arachnid, I am a Living Armor…" said Veronica.

"Perhaps it is related not with what you are, but what your clones are perceived as… after all, you designed them all to resemble metallic spiders… perhaps the perception of these as spiders by the beings in the Devil Forest and also of the people is what made them feel like that," said Ervas.

"That's… maybe… I will choose one of these non-combat Jobs for once and see if I can level it up fast" said Veronica.

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Self-Body Alchemist Crafter]!]

[The Levels of the [Alchemy; Level 3], [Crafting; Level 3], and [Blacksmithing; Level 1] Skills have increased!]

"Self-Body Alchemy Crafter…? I'm sure this is different than just conventionally crafting or practicing alchemy…" said Veronica, as she used the vast Mana of Ervas transferred to her by both being close with each other to begin using Alchemy and Crafting on her own body.

How was it possible to use such a thing on her own body, to begin with?

Alchemy was the ability to imbue magic into items to create magic items, this also included magic potions and medicine using magic materials.

Meanwhile, Crafting was the ability to craft items at greater proficiency.

If both of such skills were used in conjunction, alongside Blacksmithing, which helped in the forgery of metals, it would cause the best results in creating powerful magic equipment.

And because Veronica was just a Living Armor, she was the equipment that she needed to upgrade.

Veronica raised her arms as she began to shapeshift her armor like liquid metal while recreating various types of basic design weapons, small daggers, an axe, a spear, a shield, many other pieces of armor, one after another they began to pile up.

Veronica used all these three skills in her own body to extract her own materials and craft equipment of high quality, although not as high as the equipment in her Armory Skill slots.

Ervas and the rest of the family began to see Veronica aimlessly creating a pile of equipment.

"This sword and shield are true of high quality… the sharpness has become quite good. It is surprising coming from a weapon that you didn't produce through Armory" said Ervas.

"That's because I am using Blacksmithing to sharp the weapons, those techniques and knowledge that Anna transferred to me are working wonders in making the weapons I create sharper and more defined without the need to go to the forgery and all… of course, these are far from the original quality that could be produced by going to the forgery and making weapons with care there, but they suffice as mass-produced equipment," said Veronica.

"Even more if we make them into Cursed Equipment, their potential would increase even more," said Ervas.

"That's right- Oh?" said Veronica.

Ding!

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[User's Job has reached Level 100!]

"I actually did it… it cost around… fifty million Mana though. If I had never met you, such things would have never been possible, to begin with, Ervas" said Veronica.

"Don't worry, that's what other soul halves do" said Ervas.

"Now… how about this another weird Job?" said Veronica, changing Jobs once again.

[You changed Jobs to [Cursed Shapeshifting Demon Vehicle]!]

[The Levels of the [Body Size Alteration; Level 3], [Fission; Level 4], [Body Form Manipulation; Level 4], and [Long-Distance Control; Level 4] Skills have increased!]

[You acquired the [Space Expansion; Level 1], [Comfort Maintenance; Level 1], [Rough Road Travel; Level 1], and [Precise Driving; Level 1] Skills!]

"Four Skills in one?!"

"What is it?" asked Ervas.

"They seem to be Skills related to… well, just like the Job, they're skills related to being a vehicle… I did really become one at the end, huh? What is this third life about…?" wondered Veronica… was she a transformer now? Even she did not know anymore.

Veronica checked the skills one by one and saw their effects…

"Space Expansion is… wait, this is very useful…" said Veronica, as she glanced Ervas enter the inside of her hollow armor through the neck of her torso…

"Was your body always this big?" asked Ervas, as he felt as if he had shrunken a bit when he entered Veronica's torso, it was now as big as a room with ten meters of length and width.

And even though it was made out of the hard metal that she was made of, air entered through the crevices of her armor, so it was always fresh. And for some reason, Ervas felt it was amazingly comfortable to be in this 'room'.

"These must be the effects of the Space Expansion and Comfort Maintenance Skills! Not only there is a larger space inside of my armor, but you can even sit and feel comfortable even if it is all metallic and hard" said Veronica.

"It must be the same thing for all of your Clones then, or at least those that carry things or people," said Ervas.

"Yes… this opens a lot of possibilities, actually!" said Veronica.

As Veronica thought about the future uses of these skills, her Job was rapidly leveling up as it detected all of her clones working as vehicles and transport all across the Kingdom.

Ding!

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[User's Job has reached Level 100!]

"It's working! Time for another Job change then… I will choose this one that I was thinking that could be leveled up fast enough in a few fights…" said Veronica.

[You changed Jobs to [Murderous Metallic Mistress]!]

[The Levels of the [Strengthened Physical Power; Level 4], [Axe Technique; Level 1], [Cursed Wounds; Level 5], and [Aura of Fear; Level 3] Skills have increased!]

[You acquired the [Self-Enhancement: Murder: Level 1], and [Murder Healing: Level 1] Skills!]

"Quite the skills… But it is fitting for the name, I suppose…" said Veronica.

"What are the new skills about?" asked Ervas within Veronica's small inner space, which he felt was very comfy and has not left yet.

"All about murder…" said Veronica.

"Oh well… That's what we are good at," said Ervas.
