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

Chapter 778 Against The Frost Queen Calamity

-----

Within the top of the Tower of Skadi, the Frost Queen gritted her teeth in fury and frustration, feeling the betrayal of her two dragons the most. She saw how they became Maria's Undead and decided to serve her and stop Tear from becoming a monster.

"H-How dare they?!" She roared in anger. "More and more betrayals… It feels like I simply cannot trust anybody… Mother, you're the only one here I can trust now, you're the only… the only one."

"Yes, dear…" Her mother, a tall and muscular Ice Giantess sighed, exuding a Divine Aura equal to an Ancient Titan. "Leave them to me. I will crush them for you… This world will belong to you, Tear. And those dragons, I will destroy them, pulverize them, for their betrayal…"

"Fufufu~ Such a thrilling development…" Giggled the Vampiress voice. "I can't wait for what's coming next~ The final showdown and the exhilarating climax is here! Oh, where did I left this bottle of blood I had stashed somewhere?"

Although they couldn't see her, they heard her malicious voice echoing around. The Vampiress that had been helping Tear for a while stayed here, planning something.

"Can I count on your help, Vampiress?" Tear asked.

"But of course!" Laughed the Vampiress. "I'll help… when you least expect it, dear Tear~"

"You better do…" The Frost Queen said, her sharp eyes glowing bright blue. "Or I won't let you escape this domain unscathed."

"Oooh~ So scary!" Laughed the Vampiress.

"They're coming…" The Frost Queen's mother said, as she stepped forward, standing right in front of the tower's gates.

(Maria's POV)

Once we were done eating our revitalizing meal, we decided to move on. According to Gjoll and Leiptr, this was the last floor where the throne room and the treasury were located. Across these gates, Tear and her mother will be there too, alongside the Vampire woman that attacked us before with those reanimated Origin Souls.

"We'll be fighting three powerful foes at once…" I sighed. "Are you all prepared? We'll have to go completely all out, and even then, there's nothing saying we'll actually win…"

"I'm ready to give up my life for you." Jonathan smiled.

"Is there any need to ask?" Laughed Partner. "Let's just crush them! I'll make sure to drink that Vampire woman's blood and Rank Up."

"We're more than ready!" Emeraldine said with a bright smile. "I'll make sure to protect everyone with my barriers and arrows."

"With two new friends here, I feel even more confident." Lucifer smiled. "Gjoll, Leiptr, I'll be counting on you two. Please help us restraint Tear so we can take away the crown."

"We shall." Gjoll nodded. "We'll free her from the curse, and return her to the girl she once was."

"Sigh… I suppose we're doing this now." Leiptr sighed. "Tear's mother won't be easy to defeat, even less that mysterious Vampiress. Be prepared for the worst, not even us know their full power."

"Especially her mother…" Said Gjoll.

"You said… Tear's mother?" Veredorr wondered, surging from within my shadows. "But that's…"

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Tear Mother shouldn't… be alive." Veredorr sighed. "She has been long dead… Even before her brother was killed by those humans…"

"W-Wait, what?" I asked in surprise.

"Eh?! Then who's that?! Wait! Maybe the vampire revived her mom?" Asked Partner.

"That's… I don't know." Veredorr sighed. "I am assuming Gjoll and Leiptr don't know either."

"Yeah, she's always been there." Said Gjoll.

"If it isn't her mother… Who is she?" Leiptr asked.

"We'll have to figure that out by our own then." Emeraldine sighed.

"Yeah… There's no helping it." Lucifer nodded.

"Then let's not waste more time…" I sighed. "Arachne, when I finally call you, come out, alright? Do your best once the time comes!"

"Okay mama!" Arachne nodded.

Despite her adorable personality and childish behavior, she was someone that had higher stats than all of us here. She's our greatest trump card.

"Let's go then." I nodded, stepping in and opening the gates.

C r e a a a a a a a k k k k…!

As we opened the gates, we were greeted by a beautiful and regal throne room, made of divine ice everywhere, and decorated beautifully.

In front of us, a giantess of over ten meters of height greeted us, with a beautiful and gallant appearance, filled with strong and stoic muscles, exuding divine power equal to ancient titans.

And in the back, there was a beautiful ice giantess, sitting over a throne made of ice, wearing a shiny, silver-colored crown covered on divine blue jewels.

Her aura was the strongest, exuding a ridiculous amount of Divine Power…

We are finally here, at long last.

"Welcome, Maria, and everyone else…" She smiled. "I am pleased to see you here, you've come directly to me and helped me skip all the trouble of chasing you around, hehe~ Right, mother? Oh, and Gjoll, Leiptr, I am really, really disappointed on you. You damn scaled dogs… To think you would ally her from all things! I guess you didn't even deserved my attention."

"My Queen, you've been inflicted with a curse! We've come to free you!" Gjoll said.

"Maria has given us a second chance to make things right now!" Leiptr nodded.

"Tch…" The Frost Queen glared at the two with utter disgust. "Shut up, you useless garbage."

"Tear… TEAR! Are you there?! Please, come back to your senses! It's me! Veredorr!" Veredorr surged from within my shadows, confronting her bravely.

"Veredorr?" Tear wondered. "Another garbage I don't care about… Mother, how about you clean this trash in front of me?"

"If you dare come here to harm my precious daughter… I'll crush you! You too, traitorous dragons!" Her "mother" roared, her Divine Aura growing higher and higher, so strong it seemed to overpower us. "R A A A A H H H!!!"

And she instantly started with a fight, no more talk!

C R A A A A A A S S S H H!!!
