Veronica decided to see her available evolution options, as she saw Aqua and Shade play around. ??
[Available Evolutions]
[Dark Tartarus Living Armor Knightess], [Death Acheron Living Armor Warrior]
"…Eh? What with these evolutions?"
Veronica had assud that her evolutions would be related to her shapeshifting, or sothing related to 'liquid tal'… but these two was way different than what she thought they would be.
"Tartarus… that's… That is a place from Greek mythology if I am not mistaken… a deep abyss was the wicked were sealed, alongside the Titans," Veronica thought.
Tartarus was the deep abyss of Greek mythology, it was used by the Gods to imprison the Titans, it was also said to be filled with suffering and wickedness. The souls of mortals were judged in such a place and punished if they were to have committed too many sins…
But there is also the deity Tartarus, a primordial deity of Greek Mythology alongside Chaos and Gaia. It was often normal in Greek Mythology to na places alongside the gods that governed them or lived in them.
Though Veronica was not a Greek mythology scholar, so what she knew was sothing she had seen in gacha gas that had such deities as summonable characters, after reading their descriptions and lore and then rembering them in exact detail by using 'mory Retention'.
"And Acheron… Was it the river of pain in Greek mythology underworld? I think that is where the Ferryman, Charon, who works for hades and leads the souls to the underworld. Though sotis it was also the river of Styx or both… Well, I do not know anything more than this… I rember pulling Charon in Legendary Heroes Blasters, that gacha ga was absorbing my entire life back then…"
Acheron was one of the rivers that led to the underworld where Hades reigned, alongside the river of Styx, they served as gateways for the souls of the fallen. There were also tales about certain mortal heroes that desired to travel to the underworld while still being alive.
"I don't rember getting such evolutions in my previous life, but these are welcod…"
Veronica then decided to check both through 'Appraisal'.
[Dark Tartarus Living Armor Knightess]
An evolution unlocked by a Spiritual Arachne Living Armor Knightess whose soul and phantom had beco an abyssal being shrouded in shadows while bringing judgnt and destruction to the souls of the unfortunate.
This evolution strengthens the 'Soul Break', 'Phantom Form', 'Phantom Materialization', and 'Soul Materialization' while awakening the inner abyss of the user's soul.
This evolution specializes in strength, magic, mana, and speed.
[Death Acheron Living Armor Warrior]
An evolution unlocked by a Spiritual Arachne Living Armor Knightess whose soul has brought the death of many others, leading them through the River of Acheron towards the underworld.
This evolution strengthens the 'Spirit Magic', 'Soul Break', 'Shadow Manipulation', 'Strengthen Followers', 'Commanding' and other Skills while awakening the user's ability to lead others through the path of death or those that had already walked into it.
This evolution specializes in strength, defense, magic, and mana.
In front of Veronica, both options seed too good, but she could only choose one.
"Awakening the abyss of my soul or… leading people to the path of death? Wait, the last one seems a bit frightening. Hopefully, it doesn't an leading them to literal death…"
Veronica pondered the thought for a few minutes. If her assumptions were right, the second evolution might give her so kind of Guider ability, although she has not changed to a Guider Job, so it was ambiguous.
Guiders were people that well, guided others. A special job was only born between highly influential people that also had a unique way of thinking and 'path', which led and enticed others to follow them. They were exceedingly rare, but Veronica and all of her reincarnated coworkers had acquired one, and it was also said that the previous Hero of Light and her previous life father also had one, which led their respective armies to fight against each other by their ideals and 'paths'.
Veronica, when she was Anastacia, possessed the 'Spiritual Guider' Job and the 'Demon Guider' Job.
The 'Spiritual Guider' Job was because she was a prodigy in spirit magic, and made a great bond with the spirits of all attributes, while also using the knowledge of Earth to create unique spells and use the combination of all the spirits of the magic attributes to improve her entire Nation.
The 'Demon Guider' Job was a result of her being the new Demon Queen while leading thousands of demons through her own path, she guided them and used her knowledge to change their lives for the better, becoming a revolutionary amongst demons even when she was considered 'talentless'.
But Veronica had never acquired a Guiding skill through evolution. Evolutions were about strengthening one's body, not about such things as guiding… but perhaps, even if she were to not get a guider skill, it might lead to that in the future.
Veronica was unaware that she was already influencing many, her tad monsters, Ervas, Jason, and even the squirrel-kin that she had just t for a few hours.
"It could be better… but the abyss inside of my soul… it is also tempting," thought Veronica.
If she were to unlock the 'abyss inside her soul', could she get sothing similar to Ervas's massive Mana pool, which was constantly increasing?
Or perhaps, a different power, capable of giving her a certain advantage against Oggoth.
Considering this, Veronica decided for the Tartarus evolution and thought that if she were to have the capabilities of a guider again in this third life, she would naturally acquire the Job one day. However, awakening the abyss of her soul might be a one-ti opportunity for her.

Veronica's body was shrouded in darkness, as it slowly changed its shape.
Demonic goat-like horns grew at each side of her helt. Her armor beca sleek and slim, but also sharper. Her waist seed to have widened a bit, and her torso tightened, her armor had beco a bit thinner, resembling the armor that a slim damsel would wear, even her gloves beca slim and sharp like claws, and her armor was completely dark, covered in purple lines and crimson jewels.
"Well… this appearance is… fine? Ah, so it was this Abyssal soul Skill the awakening of my abyss?"
Veronica checked the new skill with Appraisal.
[Abyssal Soul; Level 2/10]
A Skill that represents the abyssal soul of the user. A soul shrouded in eternal darkness and shadows, vast like the abyss and almost unreachable.
Those that stare at the abyss for too long, might end up being stared back by it…
Grants the user the ability to bounce back certain skills effects directed to it as long as the user notices such effect taking place on itself.
It also lets the user shape its soul with greater liberty, to manipulate shadows and to absorb them.
It might have the smaller side effect of making the user highly attractive to beings that lurk in the abyss of the world.
Level up this skill to enhance the efficacy of its effect.
"This is… perfect…"
After finding out the great effects of Veronica's new and awakened soul, she went with Aqua and Shade to eliminate nearby monsters to level up her 'Apprentice Warrior' Job.
It seems that no effects such as Ervas's large mana increase happened with her stats.
