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

Chapter 683  Maria Arrives!

-----

BAAAAAAAMMMM!!!

A massive palm made of darkness, death, and even moonlight itself fell from the ceiling of the city, hitting the incoming army of countless of snow monsters and crushing them all mercilessly!

Zero and Frost managed to evade the attack, moving away just barely in time. Their eyes were filled with surprise and amusement as they saw a single woman floating in the skies, coated in a dress made of abyssal darkness as her eyes shone brightly.

One of them was red like blood, and the other had become purple with a hint of pink, both of them emanated a powerful bloodlust, her aura unleashing a gigantic amount of power as well.

"So that's HER!" Said Frost, his voice filled with fascination. "What a regal appearance, such powerful magical aura!"

"Indeed! Isn't she incredible?! And isn't this power I feel… A Titan's aura? How amusing!" Laughed Zero. "Hello! We've come to kill you!"

Maria glanced at the two talking as if they were her fans or something, yet their intentions were quite clear, they came to kill her and destroy this entire city. Her sharp eyes only grew sharper and more angered as she heard them talk.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Three figures appeared behind her, Lucifer, Partner, and Emeraldine. They seemed half-asleep and in a hurry. Maria had woken them up but she had to run to protect the city, leaving them behind.

"M-Maria! We've arrived." Sighed Emeraldine. "We left Root, Nyx, and the twins in the city."

"We told them to help protect the people from the swarm of monsters and to help them evacuate to the safe zone underground!" Lucifer said. "Hmm, are these the bastards we need to fight?"

"These guys are super icy! What the heck?! I bet they are servants of the Frost Queen! No?" Partner wondered. "Ugh I might be a vampire but I don't really like extremely cold temperatures either…!"

"Alright, thank you Emeraldine, Lucifer." Maria nodded. "And Partner, just bear with it. We need to kill them asap. They're the ones leading the thousands of monsters. My attack barely killed less than a hundred, hundreds of more are coming from all sides."

"Heh, she's so quick-witted!" Zero began to laugh. "Well, how about introductions? I am Zero, the Winter Witch of the far North Islands! I was sealed five thousand years ago by a "Hero" but now, my lady has unsealed me and I now have the purpose of serving her for all eternity! I shall bring her the eternal kingdom of ice she so desires~!"

"And I am Frost, the first servant of milady. I am the strongest knight of-"

"{Divine Black Lightning}!"

CRAAAAAAASSSHHHH!!!

A powerful lightning attack emerged from within Maria's fingertips as she snapped the two Frost Generals out of their stupid delusions. These guys were just as insane as their queen. The attack, however, was intercepted by Frost as he utilized his gigantic magic shield to absorb the lightning!

FLAAAASH!

"Shut the fuck up you shitheads. I am not here to talk. I am here to beat the shit out of you." Maria said with a furious tone of voice. After having seen all the people they indiscriminately killed, she was filled with anger. Half of the souls alerting her of what happened were of soldiers that had already died.

"BAHAHAHA! Most incredible! Amazing! Such a powerful attack! If it wasn't for my Divine Artifact: [Uller's Shield] I would had surely been shattered into pieces!" Laughed Frost. His wonderful-looking shield was in fact a divine artifact!

"Fufufu, my [Frost Leviathan's Necklace] has kept me quite protected as well." Laughed Zero.

The two were using Divine Artifacts! But how?! Maria only knew that the Skadi's Crown was the one existing, but why there were two more now? Where did they even came from? Were they concealed in the same dungeon where the crown was?

"They have Divine Artifacts, this is not going to be easy…" Said Lucifer.

"And those two are surely at least S- Rank or A+++ Rank." Said Partner. "Their power is very high."

"Maria, do you think you can beat the two of them at once with your new powers?" Emeraldine wondered.

"No…" Maria sighed. "At most I can concentrate into one, but both at the same time… I will be crushed. One's an incredible tank and the other is a powerful magician, they complement each other. We need to separate them and confront them at the same time. Partner, Lucifer, you're against Frost, the big guy. Emeraldine, "You and Lucifer are the beefiest here so you'll do good against a powerful physical attacker. Meanwhile, Emeraldine offers you're up with me against Zero."

"Eh?! Why do I need to fight at his side?!" Partner got angered.

"You and Lucifer are the beefiest here so you'll do good against a powerful physical attacker. Meanwhile, Emeraldine offers long-ranged support and we both are good at magic, meaning we also have high magic resistance." Maria explained her reasoning.

"Oooh? What are you muttering about? I am growing a bit bored, let's start killing one another already~!" Zero laughed, suddenly floating in midair as she generated a storm of icy winds. "And while doing so, let's take down all the pesky insects getting in the way! Bwahahahaha! {Eternal Winter Embrace}!"

FLUOOOOOOSH!

An enormous storm of icy winds emerged, attempting to take over the entire city now that Zero was inside of it! People started to scream as the golems were unable to interfere as they were fighting the incoming monsters near the walls.

"Tch, didn't I tell you I was going to fight you?"

Maria sighed, as a massive black hole emerged in her stomach…

"[Ultimate Skill: Yog-Sothoth]!"

TRUUUUUMMMMMM…!

The black hole immediately began absorbing the entire storm of icy winds, making it completely disappear in mere seconds! Zero and Frost were left shocked, while Maria sighed, feeling slightly tired of that.

"It is a pain to use this Ultimate Skill because it also damages my soul…" Sighed Maria internally. "But I can't show them such a weakness."

"So? Are you satisfied already?" Maria asked with a smirk. "Lucifer, Partner, Emeraldine, let's go!"
