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



-----

"That's what you get for hurting my Kuro." Maria said with a furious glare, descending from the skies and embracing her black chimera cat with her Moonlight. "Kuro, hang in there… [Spirit Fusion]!"

FLAAAAASH!

Suddenly, Anastasia and Claw panicked after seeing that! This woman… this group of ghostly apparitions were not normal. The power they held was utterly incredible! If they didn't do something soon…

"Kill… KILL HER!" Julio cried, slowly crawling out of the crater he was.

His voice was heard loud and clear as he groaned while trying to heal his wounds by drinking an Elixir. Anastasia and Claw panicked, quickly unleashing their magic and attacks against Kuro!

"I won't let you!!! [Overpowering Sun]!!!"

"[Divine Wolf Spirit's Claws]!!!"

Three gigantic suns made of blazing flames descended towards Kuro, alongside enormous claws made of golden spiritual beast aura!

However…

CLAAASH! CLAAAASH! CLAAAASH!

Darkbound flew into the skies, clashing against the blazing flame spheres and throwing them into the skies, while shielding Kuro against the gigantic claws using a shield made of darkness.

CRAAAAASH!

"I won't let you hurt my friend!" He roared.

"Wait, this bastard's still moving?!" Claw asked furiously.

"He is… being possessed by something else now… Those women that appeared!" Anastasia cried. "Jonathan! Where are you?!" As she looked for Jonathan, Maria's Abyssal Body had already fused with Darkbound through Spirit Fusion, giving him brand new powers and regenerating his body.

"My liege, I am relieved you're back." Darkbound said, floating in midair and guarding the city and Kuro. "But what is this form?! You've divided yourself!"

"It is a new power I acquired from Hel, Darkbound. It also seems like you can speak and you received her blessings as well, congratulations." Giggled Maria from within his body.

"Yes, milady- However, Mercury and Lancelot…!" Muttered Darkbound.

"Don't worry about it, I already went to support them with my Swarm Body and my Poison Body." Maria said with a confident voice. "It seems we've got… four S Ranks, huh?"

"Indeed, there's the magician woman named Anastasia, the werewolf named Claw, the Night Hero, Julio, and then the Sun Hero, Jonathan! They're all deadly powerful, even Julio is regenerating as we speak!" Darkbound said.

Maria quickly began to calculate their odds of winning. Reinforcements were coming in the form of her Divine Lightning Body, Lucifer, Brunhild, Partner, Emeraldine, and everybody else.

Once everyone arrived, their victory would be assured. But even just a few minutes would be an eternity against these S Rank monsters… Even Darkbound was incapable of stopping them after evolving into an S- Rank Skeleton Hero.

"I see. We cannot take them all by ourselves. Let's separate them." Said Maria. "Darkbound, you take down Claw, you seem the most fitting for that. Kuro and my Moonlight Body will take down Julio, and my other bodies, once they find Lancelot and if Mercury is okay, we'll take down Anastasia, who as a mage seems most prone to running away."

"Very well." Darkbound said. His entire body exuded an abyssal darkness inherited from his combination with Maria's Abyssal Body Ego. He looked much different than before, and the notifications Maria received clearly reflected that.

Ding!

[You have successfully undergone [Divine Spirit Soul Connection] and [Spirit Fusion] with [Legendary Abyssal Skeleton Hero: Darkbound (S- Rank)]!]

[As a result of the fusion, all of your stats have temporarily converged together, additionally, many bonuses increasing these stats even further have been activated!]

[However, due to the instability of this fusion, the limit time has decreased to 4 Minutes]

Magical Weapons converged together through divine power, as Darkbound's Black Sword fused with Maria's Soul and one of her many weapons, melding into a brand-new Divine Weapon.

Ding!

[The power of the Divine Weapons have reacted to the combined souls, temporarily fusing into the Special Divine Relic [Earth-Shattering Divine Blade: Hekaton]!]

[The power of the Special Divine Relic is reacting to the fused souls magic and divine essences!]

FLUOOOOOSH!

The enormous sword unleashed a gigantic shockwave of power, quickly making Darkbound's presence clear to the S Rank threats.

Claw glanced at Darkbound with a smile, seemingly enjoying this… However, Anastasia was not like the werewolf, afraid, she started stepping back, running away using a Levitation spell.

"I'll leave this to you, beast! I am not good with these things." She said, flying away fearfully. "Jonathan! Where are you?!"

"Oi! You cowardly woman!" Roared Claw furiously. "Tch, these humans cannot be trusted! Well, it's not like I am the only Frost General here…"

"There's another Frost General here?!" Asked Maria, looking around.

However, she couldn't sense him at all.

Until the very last minute.

BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!

The city suddenly shook with ice spreading rapidly, as gigantic icicles surged from everywhere.

"W-What the…?!" Darkbound muttered. "The city's under attack?!"

Meanwhile, within the city, an Ice Giant man wearing bone armor and holding a giant black axe walked across the city, freezing everything.

"Where are they?! I can't find anybody here!" He roared furiously. His aura clearly exuding the power of yet another S Rank threat, this one being an Ice Giant, the first one Maria had encountered.

Thankfully, the people were all within the underground, and this pea brain that seemed to have traveled stealthily into the city when the fight was happening, was incapable of realizing that… yet.

"Grrrhhh… Men! Find them quickly! It is not befitting of me, the Ice Giant Hero Argus, to stay here like a fool waiting for my prey to come at me!" He roared angrily, as many other Ice Giants, all of them A+ Rank in strength began running around, trying to find where the people was hidden.

FLAAASH!

"Hm?!"

Argus quickly realized a powerful presence reaching closer to him, as he quickly intercepted it with his giant axe!

CLAAAAAASH!

It was a humanoid, purple and black colored Abyssal Ant wielding a Divine Spear, glaring at him furiously with red-shot eyes.

"An ant?!" Laughed Argus. "What can an Ant do- Ungh?!

"This!" Roared Lancelot, unleashing countless piercing blows using his spear, as his aura spread like a swarm of millions of insects, attacking, biting, and poisoning Argus!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

"Tch… You're fast!" Argus smiled, although he seemed almost completely unfazed by the damage.

"And you're tough." Lancelot sighed, the power of Maria's Swarm Body Ego flowing through his body.
