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

Chapter 774 The Defeat Of The Two Mighty Dragons

-----

After overwhelming Lucifer with a surprise attack into his weak point, the Dragon Heart, Leiptr was greeted with a furious Partner.

"Get off that stupid lizard, you stupid snake!!! [Demonic Blood Spear Arts]: [Void Piercing Thrust]!!!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Partner unleashed an utterly destructive barrage of piercing thrusts using her two demonic spears, enchanted by her Demonic and vampiric auras! Her attacks were so strong they even pierced across space itself, shattering the void and reaching Leiptr's body even from afar, as if they were skipping space!

CRAAAAASSSH!!!

"GRUUAAAGGH…!" Leiptr groaned in agony, blood splattering from his entire body, forced to pull back as he flew into the skies once more!

FLAAAASH!

"Hahhh… W-What in the world?! How come that false Vampire is so strong?!" Leiptr thought. "She should be even weaker than that woman from before… Huh?!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

However, before Leiptr could even think straight and recover his wounds properly, hundreds of Spiritual Arrows pierced through his body even as he moved at a super-sonic speed, Emeraldine's attacks once more overwhelmed him!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

The arrows exploded into explosions of Light and Nature, burning his flesh and making miniature Yggdrasil Trees grow in between his wounds, stopping his self-regeneration and draining away his blood and vitality…

"And that damn elf… She's simply ridiculous!" Leiptr thought. "I had battled the children of the Vanir before, but they were nothing but ants with their feeble spirit magics… Yet I had never fought an Elf that has ascended to this state of divinity… And is she…?! It can't be! Yggdrasil herself is within her own body and magic?! What… does this even means?! Are we battling… the will of the world itself?!"

Leiptr began to realize that his battle was even contradicting the world itself, if someone like Emeraldine, the vessel of Yggdrasil, was trying to fight him and stop him… Self-doubt clouded his mind, which the trio he was fighting used to their advantage.

"Thinking about love, snake?!" Asked Lucifer, roaring furiously as he charged against him. Suddenly summoning a gigantic Scythe made of Phantasmal Flames, which then transformed into a black scythe made out of Abyssal Death Flames.

"You again?!" Leiptr muttered, intercepting Lucifer's attacks using his silver-colored spear, flashes of silver color and black colored explosions spread across the skies, the clouds were constantly dissipating before either clash.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

"How come you're so energetic after I pierced your Dragon Heart?!" Asked Leiptr. "Shouldn't that be your worst weakness?"

"Weakness?!" Laughed Lucifer while smiling. "I have no such weaknesses, you snake! I was killed, and risen back from the dead by Maria! I became her Undead, I could regenerate any wound, and even as I was split into pieces, I could continue surviving, and thriving… Until you can somehow reach my soul… You'll not be able to easily overwhelm me! [Chaotic Catastrophe]!"

FLAAASH!

Lucifer's index finger managed to touch Leiptr's arm, as a flash of black light emerged from within, distorting space itself as a huge, chaotic explosion surged out of thin air!

BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

"AAAAAARRGGH…! RAAAAAHHH…!" Leiptr screamed in agony as his left arm exploded into pieces. "H-How could you?! Such destructive magic… A Dragon capable of wielding the element of Chaos?!"

"And not just that!" Laughed Lucifer. "[Eternal Domain of Hel]! [Death Dragon Familiar Summon]! Catch him, my familiars!"

FLUOOOOOSH!

A domain of pure death emerged around Leiptr, trapping him within a pseudo realm of temporary existence, embodying the very dread and atmosphere as Helheim itself.

"The domain of Helheim?!" Leiptr muttered. "Not even we could do this…! And- Ugh?!" He quickly realized there were hundreds of smaller Dragons made out of phantasmal energy and Abyssal Death Flames slowly attempting to weaken him and slow him down. "BEGONE!"

FLAAASH!

Unleashing a deadly Dragon Breath Attack, Leiptr vaporized them one after another, but due to the time he had to spend destroying them, that gave enough time for the three foes he was confronting all at once to attack him!

"You're a bit too relaxed!" Lucifer roared, swinging his gigantic scythe and attacking Leiptr with a barrage of slashing blows into his soul, weakening him, lowering his stats, cursing his soul, and even damaging it!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

"Hey, don't forget about me, okay~?" Partner giggled maliciously, her two Spears suddenly became a gigantic blood crimson spear imbued with all her powers, each of its piercing blows left literal holes over Leiptr's own flesh, where blood constantly came out, and was instantly absorbed by Partner!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"This is the path we choose, even if we have to fight demigods such as you, we won't falter!" Emeraldine roared bravely. Firing a hundred more arrows imbued with the power of the Divine Spirits she possessed, each Arrow reached the giant serpentine dragon, exploding all over his body, and spreading more and more roots across his wounds!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"NNGGHHAAAAAAAAHH…!" Leiptr screamed in utter agony as he fell from the skies, completely defeated. "Unnggh… T-This is… Why? Why do I feel… regret?!"

Leiptr and Gjoll were thinking the same thing as they were being overwhelmed by their foes. It still felt, even with their loyalty, that they had been fighting those that didn't had to be fought. Both despaired as they recognized their incredible strength.

Yet at the same time, they felt incredibly saddened, as their power was not enough to defend their Queen, despite everything they did…

"That's enough, Gjoll!" Maria roared, as her spear, Laevateinn, pierced through the chest of the titanic and bulky dragon, piercing his dragon heart and then, making it explode inside of his own chest.

CRAAAAAAASSSSHHHH!!!

"UUUGRAAAARRGGHH….!" Gjoll gave an agonizing last roar of pain, as he vomited blood. "Unngh… It is my lost… I recognize your strength, mortals…" Gjoll muttered, as he fell from the skies alongside his brother.

BAAAAMMM…!

Both of their bodies fell together, over the same mountain. And just as Maria had promised, the white mountains were now stained red with their blood.
