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

—–

Maria quickly divided her body while confronting Agatha, searching for the rest of her Undead. She entered the ruined manor, finding that most of the skeletons were destroyed into pieces, Darkbound was also defeated, but his soul was still attached to his ribcages and seemed to be salvageable. Meanwhile, Kuro and Raven were wounded, both had their limbs destroyed and were covered in rubble, but they seemed to be alright as well.

“Don’t worry you guys, I got you even more materials to make up for it…! I’ll upgrade you right now!”

Maria quickly opened her Soul Grimoire, as the pages began to flicker, Mana quickly encompassed the Undead that were barely hanging on, as countless materials flew outside of Maria’s Inventory, merging with them.

FLASH!

Meanwhile, Maria confronted Agatha and the rest, quickly gathering all her enormous and dispersed body into the shape of a woman, her true appearance which the Vampiress and her servant knew about. It quickly shocked them!

“Y-You bitch! Are you the mercenary Marie?! What are you doing here and- What a moment, how are you made of flies?!” Asked Agatha, she looked like a little girl without knowing anything about the world. It was quite clear Maria was a ghost but the Vampiress had little experience fighting with phantasmal Undead to know this at first glance.

“M-My Lady… She’s… not flies! Ghost! She’s a ghost thing!” The werewolf, who resulted to be the second strongest after Agatha pointed out, his sensing abilities were amazing, he immediately realized Maria had no scent, this meant she was obviously not a mass of flies, but something else similar to a being made of mana or phantasmal essence, a ghost came quickly to his mind! Despite seemingly looking dumb, he was quite smart.

“A ghost?! Wait… Marie… Maria! Y-You… you’re the ghost of the Dark Witch!” Agatha quickly concluded, as Maria simply didn’t answer, summoning her phantasmal limbs that now resembled enormous hands made of darkness, as her giant axe and her sword emerged out of her shadows.

“Why don’t you stop babbling and fight? I am not here to hold any conversations!” Maria ruthlessly said, rushing in front without thinking it twice, a storm of darkness quickly clashed against Agatha, pushing her down into the floor!

CLASH!

Agatha protected herself using her Blood Aura and generating a shield with it, Maria noticed that the shield was incredibly strong, and quickly realized that Agatha was not a mere Vampiress, she was certainly powerful enough to resist her all-out attacks!

“Nnnggh…! Y-You’re strong for a damn ghost!” Said Agatha with a cocky smile.

“Let’s see if you can take these!” Maria immediately retaliated without leaving Agatha with a single opening, using her Axe and her Cursed Sword to unleash a barrage of insane physical attacks consecutively. Constantly using [Blade Slash] and [Strong Axe Strike] in combination with [Phantasmal Limbs] to generate more limbs in the shape of fists, which helped her at spamming [Fist Strike] too!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Each strike was charged with incredible magic power, as Maria had now learned ways to enhance her physical damage through the sheer use of Mana and her Magic Stat both together at the same time. The combination made it so her Axe and her Cursed Blade unleashed explosions of darkness consecutively, while each of her fists also carried an explosive magical force. She combined them with various of her other spells too, such as [Dark Storm], unleashing storms of darkness everywhere!

“Union Attack…! Death Slash!”

Maria suddenly combined all the techniques together into the palm of her two enormous phantasmal hands, which stretched all the way up into the skies comically, suddenly falling like a meteor against Agatha!

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

“AAAGGGH…!”

The explosion of darkness spread out like a gigantic nuke, cracking down the floor and generating an enormous crater beneath the two women, as Agatha’s barrier made of Blood Aura broke apart and the hit reached her chest directly! Her bones shattered with ease, and she vomited a mouthful of blood, falling into the ground.

“Gakkhh…!”

Agatha gritted her teeth, looking up at Maria whose eyes seemed filled with ruthlessness and the coldness that only an Undead Queen such as her could emanate… her eyes glowed deep red, as Agatha felt fear! …But also excitement, beginning to smile and laugh. Maria quickly noticed her wounds were recovering at an incredible fast pace too, and her HP was recovering at an insane speed! Her total Rank was probably A Rank, just like her, if not A+ or even A++ if she was able to just get a total beatdown from her and remain unfazed.

She had to quickly end her before things went too out of control, Maria had just recently evolved and thanks to that, she acquired enough of a boost in power to compare to Agatha’s stats, which seemed rather high, but even then, she didn’t knew what sorts of tricks could the Vampiress come out with, especially by seeing her easily laugh at her attacks!

“Hahaha! You’re so hilarious, ghost woman…! Doggy~!”

“Doggy…?! Ah!”

“GRAAWRR!”

Suddenly, Maria saw a giant wolf jaw approaching from behind her, enhanced with Blood Aura, the enormous jaws would easily damage her soul! Maria quickly ducked and evaded the deadly attack, but ended moving away from Agatha, which allowed her to stand up again and set up her Blood Aura once more.

“That werewolf… He’s also exceedingly strong for a random that showed up out of nowhere!” Thought Maria, gritting her teeth.

The world of Yggdrasil was vast, and there were many powerful foes at every corner, it slightly annoyed her that she had been fighting Vampires non-stop when there was a whole world to explore… but the problem with the whole Kingdom of Albraun had to be solved so she could finally avenge her parents and family, and possibly find her brother as well. These two were an obstacle she had to surpass to keep moving forward.

“Good dog~! Fufu…” Agatha giggled viciously, as she suddenly took out a long whip that was wrapped around her hips. “Now’s time for some fun, hm~?”
