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

—–

“Took you long enough, lizard!” Partner angrily barked at Lucifer, as he quickly felt slightly frustrated, his cool air quickly went away as he looked back at Partner angrily.

“Who are you calling lizard?! If it wasn’t for me you would had been engulfed in the storm!” He angrily said.

“Then why didn’t you come earlier?!” Partner angrily replied.

“Okay, okay, please let’s don’t discuss right now!” Emeraldine and Maria said almost at the same time, quickly putting down the rivalry of the two for the moment.

“We got more important things to do, let’s not waste time!” Maria said, flying with Emeraldine and Partner towards Lucifer.

Emeraldine and Partner were able to lift off the ground by their unique methods of flight. For Partner, she was able to coat herself in blood and control it to lift her up off the air, and for Emeraldine, she was sable to use her recently learned [Levitation] Light Attribute Spell which her Light Spirit helps her at conjuring. Of course, thanks to the armors they’re wearing right now, which can both levitate off the ground with ease, they are now relying in the armors and not in their unique methods, which aren’t as flexible.

“How did the fight against the dog went?” Partner asked Lucifer, as the entire group flew towards Agatha while Maria used her newly attained ability to capture the black lightning emanating from the body of Agatha.

“He was strong but too weakened after a big fight. I decided to reap his soul away after beating him to a pulp.” Sighed Lucifer. “Maria, I’ve saved his soul and body because I know that’s what you would had done.”

“Oooh! You know me well, don’t you?” Maria said with a smirk. She wanted to raise Beowulf into an undead immediately, but Undead were usually weaker than their living versions and they would also need a period of “getting used” to being an Undead and all its abilities, so if she brought him back, he would be mostly useless, and only end up getting in the way.

“D-Don’t dare get closer!!!”

The voice of Agatha suddenly resonated across the minds of everybody, as Maria, Lucifer, Emeraldine, and Partner felt as if their minds were being attacked by a powerful psychic power! Maria was the most unaffected as she was a ghost and lacked a brain to begin with, but Emeraldine was the most affected, seemingly in great pain.

“Aaagghh!”

“Emeraldine!”

Maria was surprised by this sudden new power that Agatha had developed. It appears not only she was able to communicate through Telepathy but even had the power to affect the minds through a Skill that the System named [Mind Shock].

“Unngh…! This bastard. We have to end her soon, if she uses this same thing against the townsfolk, she’ll easily leave them all with brain damage or perhaps even kill them!” Lucifer said, as the second most resilient.

“Aagh! Ouch! My mind hurts! What the heck is this?!” Partner cried. Now that she was the prideful owner of a brain, she was not having an easy time dealing with this.

“Agghhh!”

No matter what Emeraldine used healing magic wise, nothing could heal or calm her head. Maria quickly realized that there was, however, a way! She quickly touched Partner, Emeraldine, and Lucifer’s heads by extending phantasmal tentacles out of her body, and then, possessed all three of them!

“Relax and trust me!” She said, all while all four of them were flying across the skies and evading constant thunderbolts fired at them by the furious Agatha!

All three of them nodded, as Maria quickly decided to put into use her newly acquired Element, Illusion! Within her Status, there was a new Skill named [Illusion Element: Lv–], this meant that she was able to wield the mysterious power of the element of Illusions, which not only dealt with simply making others think there was something in a place that wasn’t really there, but it also dealt with the mind itself.

Maria quickly tried to create a mental shield over the heads of her beloved ones. As if she was attempting to make something like a barrier that could deflect mind attacks completely. Was that even possible? Thanks to [Supreme Magic], it totally was!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Suddenly, above the heads of the three, small, pink-colored lights emerged and quickly dissipated, seconds after, they felt as if their minds were in complete peace, in fact, even more than before even being attacked. It felt as if their minds had been completely cleansed of panic, fear, and doubt.

Ding!

[Mind Bending: Lv1]

A Skill that grants the ability to bend minds. The requirements to bend a mind is touching a person’s mindscape through supernatural means and also receiving their permission. If Mind Bending is done forcefully, a mental battle between the will of the user and the target will begin, the one with the greater Will and Magic Stat will win. Each Level, the manipulation and power over Minds is enhanced by +20%.

“(Ah, I even got a new Skill already?! Wait, now that I think about it, this Skill could easily help me deal with Agatha…!)”Wondered Maria internally, as she saw the trio feeling all right now, even better than before, in fact.

“Are you guys okay?” She asked.

“We are…!” Said Lucifer. “That Ability you used… It was incredible, my mind feels so calm now!” Lucifer sighed in relief.

“Indeed!” Added Emeraldine. “Thanks a lot!”

“I also want to thank you, Master, but we are not in the position to just sit down and thank each other…” Partner said.

CLAAAAASH!

Suddenly, an enormous tentacle hit the barrier that Maria had erected, quickly cracking it, but not shattering it! The enormous tentacle wasn’t simply made of shadows, it was a gigantic fleshy tentacle with many serrated hooks to it, coming from the fetus itself.

“She’s already breaking out of the cocoon?!” Asked Emeraldine in surprise.

“I have a terrible premonition about this, we can’t allow her to be reborn!” Said Lucifer.

“Let’s end her before it’s too late, Master!” Partner led the party with her words, as Maria nodded, gathering her Mana and suddenly summoning three enormous Chaotic Meteors, launching them at Agatha!

“Yeah, let’s do it!”

BOOOOMMM!!!
