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

—–

Lucifer decided to fly into the skies and went slowly this time. It would take roughly four to five days to reach the dwarf kingdom by merely walking towards there, it was several kilometers, and in normal circumstances, it might even take over a week, it would certainly be a long trip if we went by foot or in a carriage, but this time we had decided to go conveniently through the skies. Lucifer can fly, I can fly, so it was obvious we were going to go through the skies, wasting time is not my motto.

Of course, by flying fast, we would be able to reach the place in probably about half a day, but because he didn’t wanted to go at turbo speed as the kids wanted to enjoy the scenery, this might take us a whole day now. Nonetheless, we decided to enjoy the view, which was a beautiful snowy landscape filled with white clouds and no blue sky at all… quite gloomy to be honest.

“Uugh, its so cold in here…” Emeraldine began to tremble a bit, even with all the clothes she was wearing, which made her look like she was several kilos heavier in weight, she still was freezing alive.

“Let’s set up a barrier then.” I said, quickly using my Magic, manipulating darkness to create a barrier of shadows. Of course, this would inhibit the scenery for us, this is why I modified it and made it as transparent as I could.

“Ah, we can’t see well like this!” Takeshi complained.

It seemed my barrier was still too dark to enjoy the view…

“Let me do it myself, Maria.” Emeraldine said. “Can you supply me with Mana?”

“Sure!” I said, holding Emeraldine’s hand and giving her my MP.

She quickly began to feel her MP overflowing. Quickly after, she conjured a completely transparent barrier that was easy to see through and that blocked most of the chilly winds of the outside, without actually blocking the air, of course, as they would need oxygen to breath.

“Wow this is awesome!” Said Takeshi.

“Much better.” Laura said.

“Guhhh… I-I guess my darkness gets in the way, huh?” I sighed, feeling slightly sad.

“T-There’s a time for every element to be used, Maria, don’t feel down now.” Said Emeraldine, petting my head.

“Yeah! The other day I used Blood Magic to heal someone that was bleeding.” Said Partner. “I never thought I could heal people!”

“Well, Blood Magic has a bad reputation because Vampires usually use this power to hurt others, but blood magic can also be used to help a body heal and manipulate blood so it can cicatrize quickly. It is rather more effective than direct healing spells of light or life element.” Said Emeraldine. “Although they can only target a few targets at the same time, usually only one to be more effective unlike other healing spells that can be conjured in a wide range.”

“I see…” Partner said. “Maybe I can be like a doctor! I never thought I could do stuff outside of fighting.”

“I guess you’ve got the knack for it, Partner.” I said, petting her back.

Like this, we spent the rest of the day flying through the skies, enjoying the beautiful view and talking. We eventually moved above the clouds were the sun was hitting hard, it was warm and the view was simply beautiful. It felt like Lucifer had the power to just bring us anywhere we wanted, the world itself was in the palm of our hands, not even the sky was the limit.

We decided to make a small camp after six hours because everybody was feeling hungry, so we camped near a large lake in an area that had some melted snow, showing beautiful green and blue grass growing around the lake. The place was so beautiful and peaceful despite the cold temperatures that we enjoyed the camp, although with another barrier set by Emeraldine, this time a bit bigger.

While we were exploring this new uncharted lands, I began to look around for new herbs. I had never seen blue grass before, so I began picking it up while lunch was getting ready. It was really blue, and seemed to have the essence of ice within it. Was this a Magic Herb as well?

[Snow Weed (F Grade)]

Special weed that usually grows in very cold temperatures but is damaged by the high temperatures. Its necessity for high quantities of water often make them grow over snow itself or near lakes, as they extract water particles from snow. Usually growing in low temperatures, they’re common Weed within freezing continents such as Jotunheim and Niflheim.

It possess Ice Attribute Mana Essence and is catalogued as a cheap Magic Herb. It can be used for low-quality Healing Potions, which can be more effective on Ice-Attribute Beings. If consumed raw, it could cause stomachache if the user has no resistance to ice.

“Oh! This is one of the plants that can grow in snow!” I said, quickly being happy to get a good find.

I have heard that Ice Giants were able to farm over snow itself using special plants that originated from their own continents, special herbs that grow in snow, trees that give tasty fruit that can also grow in snow, and other plants and even vegetables. This weed seems to be growing from here all the way to the direction where the Dwarf country should be located.

“Really?!” Asked Emeraldine, running to my side to look at the item in question. “Now that I look at it, it does indeed emanates a faint aura of magic… amazing. This normal weed is very special if it can survive this cold. This world is really filled with such amazing things.”

“Indeed… So what do we do with this though?” I wondered. “Should we pick them up?”

“Yeah, let’s grab them by their roots so we can try to plant them back home.” Emeraldine said. “I’m sure they’ll make some good materials for alchemy.”
