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

Chapter 840 Defeating The Menace Once And For All!

-----

Right as Maria was struggling against the Tiger Demonite Bone Chimera Beast, Nyx emerged out of nowhere! And not only in a brand-new dragon form, but one that wasn't the same as the one Maria had seen before, when the little girl had become a tiny black dragon in the Time Stopped Domain she created to talk with Crystal one last time.

Little Nyx had evolved, for sure, as Maria easily could sense her Aura erupting with large quantities of Mana and even a hint of great Divinity! Her draconic appearance was different than the one she had taken by fusing with her Phantom Dragon Summons.

She looked a bit like a combination between her father Lucifer, and her biological mother, Crystal. A slim and refined body, yet as tall as thirty meters. With big, black scales like her father, but that were shiny like crystals, like her mother. She had sharp silver-colored claws, and a long, spear-tipped tail, with two giant wings made of black crystal.

Her head was slim and small, not big, and gigantic like her father, looking more like her aunt in that regard. Her body was covered by black flames and shadows, with a large veil made of phantasmal energy.

However, it wasn't as if she wasn't the daughter of Maria in terms of appearances, her humanoid form already looked a lot like Maria! But her giant dragon form also had hair, a long-silvery-white hair that extended from her head all the way down to her long neck.

Two pairs of sharp red eyes, beautiful like Maria's, and a pair of wonderful black horns decorated her head, it was the appearance of a Dragon that had never seen before!

"Mamaaaaa!"

With an adorable roar, Nyx broke through and helped Maria, rushing towards her, instinctively knowing she was in trouble, and kicking the Demonite Bone Chimera tiger with her giant legs!

CLAAAASH! CLAAAASH!

Two powerful kicks were more than enough to push the giant tiger down, breaking half its torso! Maria was surprised her daughter was so mighty now, she had surely evolved!

"Nyx! You evolved?!"

"I did, mama! Now let's beat this baddie!"

"Right… okay!"

Nyx expanded her Phantasmal Aura, combining it with her other Skills, as an army of almost a hundred Phantasmal Dragons emerged, helping Maria restrain the whole beast.

"[Phantom Dragon Fusion]!"

FLAAASH!

However, that wasn't all, as Nyx masterfully merged these Phantom Dragons, which her magic used as some sort of unique resource, and fused them into an incredibly strong Phantasmal Chains, wrapping around the beast.

Such chains were surprisingly stronger than any of Maria's Chain-like Spells, even her Darkness Tentacles were left behind in terms of restraining and sealing power. Of course, that's it if she didn't use her Chaos or Moonlight energy, but the former was already about to run out, and the latter wouldn't work that well against a beast that already held chaos within.

"GRUOOOHH! GRAAARRRGH!"

The tiger struggled, but Nyx's amazing magic and her strong, giant dragon body restrained the beast on place, giving Maria the time to finally do as she planned!

With Nyx's help, Maria was able to restrain the beast as she chopped its ever-growing crystal body, finally reaching as deep as its red-colored core, and then, pointing her sword at it!

"Now, everyone… At the count of three!"

Maria and everyone else were on the edge already, most of them too exhausted, having spent most of their energy in this exhausting battle!

It was now… or neve!

"One…"

"Two…!"

Everyone's weapons started moving, reaching the core slowly…

And then!

"THREE!"

CRAAAAASSSSH!!!

All weapons pierced the Demonite Bone Chimera Monsters cores at once. Their entire bodies instantly crumbled apart, as if they were puppets that suddenly lost their strings.

The cores shattered, everything suddenly ended!

It felt surreal, after having battled so desperately, with their energies depleting constantly, they finally triumphed.

Everyone, much like the beasts, dropped into the floor, completely exhausted. Even the little Nyx looked very tired, and she had just arrived.

"We even battled Divine Dragons back then… Yet even then, it wasn't as tiring as this! This monster was… really something else." Maria sighed in relief. "Ah, right, the ceiling!"

She didn't had any time to rest, quickly taking over the Dungeon's Core while she was at it, which was right behind this room, hidden, and then decided to imbue the Dungeon with her Mana.

Using this Mana, she repaired the Dungeon quickly, until it was finally back to its former glory. The ceiling was even glowing a bit brightly, as if it was covered by gold.

"Phew, finally done…"

Ding!

[You and your Party have slain [Harbinger of Death: Akhenaton (S+++ Rank)] [Red Demonite Bone Chimera Tiger (S++ Rank)], [Purple Demonite Bone Chimera Snake (S++ Rank)], and [White Demonite Bone Chimera Eagle (S++ Rank)]!]

[You earned 60.000.000 EXP!]

[EXP]: [87.000.000/90.000.000]

[You earned 25.000.000 System Points!]

"Oh wow, I'm so close to Max Level!" Maria thought with a triumphant smile.

She only needed 3 million more EXP to reach Max Level, something she had done already not so long ago when she evolved into her current form.

Maria was already wondering what else she could evolve into after becoming a literal ghost titan of moonlight. What else could be beyond that?

But for now, that wasn't really important.

"Phew, is everyone alright? Nyx?" She asked, looking around.

"Yes, we're fine." Lucifer yawned.

"I'm fine, mama! But what was that?" Nyx wondered.

"The big boss we had to defeat." Maria yawned like Lucifer did.

Jonathan slowly stood back up, stretching his tattered body. "That was more than I could had ever imagined… But I've gained plenty of levels as well."

"Me too!" Partner smiled. "Ah, the silence now feels a bit awkward after all the desperation…"

"Don't jynx it now, Partner." Emeraldine sighed in relief. "For now, we should- Ah, right, Fabian!"

"Spectra… And everyone else, are their souls here? I can't see them!" Fabian cried, looking around.

"Right, their souls." Maria nodded. "I can see them."

Her eyes glowed bright red, as she was able to see the many wandering souls that were trapped within the Undead Monster that the Vampires had created.

One that called her attention the most was the very soul of the Pharaoh…
