Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

—–

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The dozen of Undead I had summoned began to explode one after another without stopping. All the Runes were destroyed right away, as Elderlight never expected I would have such an instantaneous attack. He might have thought that even the strong dark and death magic I could have would easily be consumed by the light everywhere, but Undead Detonation made of my Undead as deadly explosives who dealt damage based on my huge Magic Stat!

The result? It was pretty obvious. The entire second floor of the residence was blown away into pieces while I shielded myself with my Shadow Barrier materialized with all the power I could muster.

CLASH!

I saw as the ceiling, walls, and even the floor fell apart and noticed that Elderlight wasn’t capable of protecting the Duke in time. Completely shocked, the Duke ended up being crushed into a deadly pulp below all the debris. At the same time, the Priest was barely alive while protecting himself with a barrier, throwing away the rubble as his anger grew constantly.

The soul of the duke floated around the corpse, asking the priest to revive him. I don’t know if the priest could see it, but the guy clearly didn’t even care about the Duke trying to look for me everywhere.

“Please, revive me with your holy magic, priest! The woman is right there! S-she’s looking at me!” Cried the soul.

“You demon woman! Where are you?! I’ll slay you! I’ll burn your malice! H-How dare you do such an outrageous thing!” He roared in anger.

I sneaked through Shadow Sneak and grabbed the Soul of the Duke.

“GRYAH!”

“You’re done for,” I said as I opened my maws and devoured the soul in an instant.

His cry of agony was heard by the priest, whose eyes began to flash with bright light as he quickly discovered me.

“T-There you are! Do you know the tremendous sin you’ve committed?! Damn it! The church should have brought more people! To think you would appear here and with such an insane power… I will put you down! Don’t you dare escape- HEY!”

He was talking way too much while rushing towards me, so I quickly turned tails after taking down mister piggy over here and rushed to the nearby forest.

“Halt!”

However, I was suddenly greeted by a large group of over thirty soldiers rushing at me, alongside what seemed to be some magicians from the Magicians Guild and even a group of Mercenaries.

They were all weak like ants, though… However, this was a nice meal. I was growing weaker, so absorbing all their Mana to use Undead Healing on my own was good!

“If you value your life, move aside!” I roared.

My entire body extended like an endless mass of shadows, and only a few of them ran away while the rest greeted me with powerful Martial Techniques and Magic. Well, not so powerful, as the strongest of this group was a Level 32 Magician with the power of Fire Magic.

He unleashed a massive blast of flames, but that barely did any damage to me or my barrier as I had a massive Magic Stat. Half of it was Magic Defense, after all, and he clearly relied a lot upon that pretty staff to boost his magic power.

BOOOMMM!!!

The flames impacted me, but I fended them off without a care in the world as I pushed forwards. I waved my hands, causing darkness to be released constantly, unleashing deadly slicing winds of dark energy through Dark Gale. There was also a fatal barrage of dozens of Darkness Sphere, blasting all the soldiers that dared to come in front of me into bloody pieces!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“Gryyyaaaahhh…!”

“Uuuaaggh…!”

“Nooo!”

“Uunngaaggh…!”

Slaughtering so many of these guys felt good for some reason, and the EXP ended up being delightful as well. To boot, I was gaining a lot of Mana as I absorbed it all.

The magician was dried out of his Mana as I reached towards him and began to absorb his mana directly from his soul. Afterward, I crushed his heart as he looked at me with his old face, surprised by the horror of my power.

“M-Monster…!”

A few of the soldiers and magicians ran away alongside some mercenaries, but I got greedy as I extended my shadow tentacle and caught them all in a shadowy weeb, so I crushed them to death one by one in mere seconds.

“You! Stop! You horrendous monster! W-What have you done?!” Roared Elderlight.

“What? Did you actually think I wouldn’t kill them? Now come back to life and buy me some time, my dear subjects!” I laughed maliciously as I activated Fake Life and all the corpses came back to life, forming an army of Undead I sent towards Elred.

“W-What? Such instant rise of Undead!”

We were already deep into the forest as the soldiers had kept following me into there, so I raised them after they died right away.

As Elderlight bathed me with holy light rays, I sent my Undead towards him and then made them all detonate into loud explosions, making a big fuss in the entire forest and blasting away trees everywhere.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“Unngh…! Holy Barrier!”

Elderlight resisted the explosions with his barrier, but it broke several times. Some of the deathly attacks pierced through it and damaged him. His HP was still rather high, but he was taking some damage.

I quickly took out Partner and Emeraldine as now that we were in a more open space, the two girls quickly sneaked around the forest and the rubble. Elderlight was fixated on me, so the girls were able to sneak around easily.

“Where are you?! Without your Undead, you can’t do this again!” He roared, using his holy light to purify my undead into ashes.

Damn it. This guy is a tough nut to crack.

“I am right here!” I said, confronting him face to face.

I had already made up my mind… I was going to kill him and gain tons of juicy EXP! If I don’t kill him, he’ll follow me to the ends of the world anyways!

“HOLY BLAST!”

FLASH!

BOOM!
