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

-----

I decided to quickly loot the monster corpses left behind, which were mostly a bunch of salt!

I purified some and then decided to use it to flavor the meat I was grilling.

This time, instead of the boring frost monster meat we had an almost endless stock of, I decided to bring some of the fancier meat we got in the desert.

This included giant shrimp-like creatures that wandered the desert and were very tasty, Wandering Antlions. Also, I added Cactus-Humped Camel meat, which was sweet and juicy, and also the Giant Desert Boa meat, which was tender and had a strong flavor.

I had bought quite a lot from some fancy places back then, so there was a lot of new and exotic meat to try! Also, I got some seafood from back home that one of my phantom clones bought for me.

While the food was getting ready, everyone was talking about how amazing my equipment was…

"I can't believe how nice is to have equipment…" Catarina admitted. "It feels like I've become twice as strong! What the hell, such an unfair advantage that others had over me!"

"I'm still surprised you can wear equipment when you're like a ghost now, big sis…" Silva said. "But yes, this equipment is incredible… Auntie Maria makes amazing items and make it seem so easily!"

"Hahah, is that so?" I giggled.

"Especially this necklace." Spectra agreed. "It enhanced my magic power so much! I couldn't believe it. It even helped me manipulate my magic power easier. Although what I was taught by you also helped…"

"A-Ah, the necklace is really strong too." Silva nodded. "I never thought a necklace could give so many bonuses… Equipment this strong might cost a fortune…!"

"Hahah, maybe?" I laughed. "But you ended paying with your hard work by hunting all these bad boys, so don't worry about it." I shrugged.

I took a look at the necklace's stats; they were really as good as they said. I decided to make one for myself too, so I had it equipped just to stack my stats even more.

It had a small ability to give some Void Essence and Moonlight Essence to attacks… It is not near as amazing as my true Essences that generate from my body, but it can stack up with those two within me and make my magic even better as a result.

Overall, a pretty nice stack stick!

I can't receive the stats of more than two necklaces at once, so this is my first one, the other I have is a rather weak one I got from the first ever dungeon I explored, where I found Lucifer sealed.

"I was thinking on mass producing more of this equipment and give it to my soldiers." I was wondering, while flipping the huge chunks of meat around the grill and seasoning them some more. "But the material cost and the soul cost are still quite a lot… I doubt I could equip thousands of allies with it, the price would be too ridiculous for me to afford it, sadly."

"But you already got some amazing equipment anyways, Partner…" I sighed. "And I'll upgrade yours too, so just calm down and be patient for now." I gave her a gentle head pat.

"Hmm, well, aside from the elite undead you left back home, there's also the silent pharaoh." Emeraldine said.

"Did you call me?" The Pharaoh quickly emerged out of my shadows.

"No, go back to the shadow realm." I told him.

"Sorry."

He disappeared.

"Did you had to be so rude with the guy?" Emeraldine was shocked.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, he's fine." I shrugged. "I doubt someone so ancient and strong would mind a few mean words… Anyways, going back on topic, these golems are pretty sus, to be honest."

"They are…" Catarina agreed. "I think they must have been artificially enhanced, especially the boss you fought, that guy was abnormally strong."

"It indeed was." Jonathan agreed. "I could sense a lot of resentment within it too. Did it had souls imbued into it to make it stronger?"

"It did, when it died, a lot of souls were released, but they flew away without drawing closer to me." I sighed. "They must have wanted to pass to the afterlife already…"

"Hmph…" Lucifer seemed slightly angered. "Perhaps this place belongs to the Warlocks. Let's make sure to thoroughly destroy everything…"
