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

-----

"GRUOH!"

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the ground below my feet trembled, as four Moles emerged, attacking me all at the same time.

"Huh, quite the bold ones to come and strike the general! Come and die then!"

The Moles' claws attempted to quickly butcher me alive, but I disappeared from their sight by converting into a mass of phantom and shadows, quickly separating myself into several clones that appeared within their own shadows, behind their backs!

[Black Lightning Strike]!

SPARK!

I unleashed black lightning from my shadows, quickly electrifying the moles in a mere second. Their bodies were fried alive by the black lightning, a new element I was able to bring out after I stole it from Agatha when she transformed into a Demon. By merely grabbing her lightning and throwing it back at her, I learned such a power myself too!

CLAAASH!

The lighting impacted the four moles in an instant as they flew away, falling into the ground several meters from my position. Barely alive, the monsters furiously attacked me from a distance, using [Rock Blast] to summon two-meter-large stones through magic and launching the stones at me.

"A mere child's play."

[Abyssal Manipulation] and [Black Lightning Strike]!

FLASH!

As I activated both of those skills, not only I gained a greater control over darkness and shadows, but I also fused it with my black lightning, generating threads of black lightning that reached the moles in mere seconds!

SPAAARK!

I aimed at their brains this time, frying their heads in an instant and killing them on the spot.

"GRUUEHH…"

As their bodies fell motionlessly, I didn't waited a single second to use [Transfiguration of Death] to raise them back to fight for me.

"Raise once more, now, you're part of my army!"

"GRUOH!"

The moles groaned eerily, standing up once more. However, they were strange as if the lightning that killed them stayed within their souls and bodies, sparks of electricity began to come out of their noses and claws, and their fur was also sparkling with this electricity.

As I looked at their Status, they had become [Undead Lightning Death Moles]! Interesting, there's a small chance depending in how a monster dies for them to take part of their cause of death and make it into their own power!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The four Lightning Death Moles moved at lightning speed, defending me from another four Moles emerging below me, their claws and movements were more than twice as fast as their own kin, and they were able to unleash lightning strikes with each attack as well!

CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

The four Moles were being demolished by my new Elite Moles, but they quickly realized fighting at close combat wouldn't be good, firing their Stone Blast Spells at us once more.

"Hmph, you really don't learn, huh?" I sighed. "Veredorr, you can come out now, dear."

"T-Then let me aid you, milady!"

FLUOOOSH!

Suddenly, the air surrounding me was frozen, although the Moles I raised were unaffected. The ground surrounding us suddenly froze as ice began to expand rapidly. The other enemy Moles realized this threatening presence, as the ghost of a pale, red-eyed Dhampir man emerged from within my shadows.

This was Veredorr, a man's soul I met back then, he was a friend of Ice Giants and got killed by their new Queen. He's a source of information but also a valuable ally, due to the trauma of his death, I've raised him into a ghost, and he ended successfully evolving into a Frost Ghost, capable of controlling ice and lower the temperature of the environment around him!

And this wasn't everything… I had discovered something quite revealing when I found more ghosts like me which I had risen. Aside from Veredorr, there was also Francesco and Silvio, the two Blazing Ghosts, with them and Veredorr, I learned one of the truths about my powers, elemental ghosts counted as something similar to Spirits for me, meaning… that I could channel my power with them and create brand new Spells.

"Frozen Cage!"

I connected my power with the soul of Veredorr, as in seconds, the ice responded my call and merged with my darkness, forming black ice which quickly began to attack the Moles in front of us, catching them and freezing them, caging them for eternity in this ice.

CRAAASH!

The moles, however, easily broke out of their frozen cages, but that was due to my own permission. These moles were swiftly risen into Undead the moment they died, and not only that, but their ice-covered fur and ice-made claws easily showed they had suddenly mutated. These moles became [Undead Frost Death Moles].

"Now fight!"

I ordered my new elemental undead to move forwards, the Moles quickly intercepted their former kin as they began slaughtering them mercilessly. They were B- Rank monsters and packed an incredible amount of power, but against someone like me at A Rank and above, they were not that much of a threat!

As I took over the entire battlefield with my might and my Undead, the dwarves quickly began to receive the assistance of my newly raised Undead Moles, as they were relieved from the pressure of battling such strong monsters.

"A-Amazing, Maria is incredible!"

"I've never seen a Necromancer before, is this how they fight? This is absolutely ridiculous…"

"Not only that, but she's super strong herself as well!"

"Does she even needs her Undead to begin with…?"

"Tsk! If you got the time to talk like that then move forward and fight! Maria is putting everything she got for us to advance towards the next floor, don't slack off you bastards!" Helga roared, while receiving the assistance of my Undead, she began smacking Mole heads emerging from the floor furiously.

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

"OOOH!"

The dwarves roared in unison, joining her as they began to fight back as ferociously as they could.

As we slowly made our way towards the cave-like mound which seemed to be the door that might lead to Floor 2, I felt the presence of something powerful approaching…

TRUUUUMMM…!

The earth shook, as an enormous beast emerged!
