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

-----

After taking two direct hits from my reinforced weapons, Maleficus looked as good as new. This old man was bad news. His regeneration abilities were on pair with mine. Above all else, he looked strangely younger. His old face disappeared, and although half his black robes were torn apart, his torso was revealed to look incredibly youthful and muscular. Black and red tattoos covering him entirely. I hated to admit it, but his face looked handsome, his long black hair waving by the wind. His sharp crimson eyes glaring atwith utter hatred.

Unlike the other Warlocks, he looked much more refined on his appearance, but even then, I could notice how his entire being was made of countless monsters and people stitched together. Somehow, he had refined his formerly aberrant form into a "perfected" one… And I suspect the Dark Pest must be the culprit, teaching him ssort of cultivation technique to refine his body into a perfect demonic physique.

"Are you amused by my appearance?" He laughed cockily. "Unlike the rest, I am different. Thanks to the blessings of my lord, I've refined my former body into a youthful one. My old appearance is nothing but a façade to trick all of you into thinking I am weak and frail. It never gets old; you always fall for it and get closer…"

His arms slowly turned pitch black, as I noticed red veins pulsating from within them, constantly imbuing them with miasma and blood energy. He had miasma all over his body. It was as if he had assimilated an evil god fragment himself, but I couldn't sense any! Did he refine a physique using miasma?! Is this what the Dark Pest learned in this tbeing sealed?

"I can't say I am not surprised." I smiled. "Hell, you're even a bit handsome, old man. But knowing you're just another of those monsters. I just want to crush you to death and be done with this." I said, my dress swiftly absorbing my powers as I was covered by a full-body armor of black and golden steel, lightning, moonlight, and void essences resonating across it all.

"Ambushes never work against me…" Maleficus smiled. "And the people up above will die… It has all been decided already. We even expected you would chere… I will gladly accept you with open arms. The preparations for their arrival are already done long ago."

"Arrival?" I asked. "You mean the outside help your other little warlocks I ate were talking about?"

"Oh, so you know… Well, not like it changes anything." Laughed Maleficus.

FLASH!

In a split second, he disappeared, only to reappear right above me. If it wasn't for my expanded Senses Domain, I wouldn't have been able to sense his presence moving behindat all. I swiftly twisted my entire body, parrying his claw attacks with both of my weapons, explosions of darkness and phantom flames erupting as we clashed.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"So you predicted that!" He laughed. His incredibly tough arms and claws were barely showing a few scratches. Somehow his body density was incredibly high. It felt like I was hitting a wall of metal instead of a man made of flesh. "Can you predict this?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Maleficus moved at lightning speed once more, appearing and disappearing around me, evading my attacks while constantly trying to attack me. His claws growing larger and sharper, overflowing with an Aura of Blood and Miasma.

"Why are you evading my blows when you're so tough? Are you afraid of me?" I provoked him with a giggle. "I am only gauging you for now, you know? I haven't even started fighting yet."

"Your bluffing is endearing."

FLASH!

He appeared right above me, his Aura transforming into a gigantic black sword, which he swung downwards with enough power and speed to split half a city apart.

Now!

I quickly imbued Mana into both of my weapons, activating their effects.

"[Umbral Moonlight Rampage]"

The Halber's effect activated, as purple flames covered my weapons. A barrage of dozens of powerful blows rained down on Maleficus in that very second. His skin slowly gaining small wounds that worsened as the Moonlight Flames burned through them.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!

"Ugh! My skin is being tainted by your measly attacks?!" Maleficus roared, quickly trying to move at his lightning speed. "YOU!"

However, the moment he tried, my body also turned into lightning, catching up to him as he moved. His eyes widened in shock before a giant axe strike pummeled him down into the floor. An explosion of debris spread out; the entire pyramid trembled.

BAAAMMM!!!

"You WITCH!"

With a furious roar, his Aura erupted from his body, resembling a ferocious roaring dragon. It rushed towards me, engulfing my entire body. I felt my soul being slowly burned, as I noticed that the dragon was made of Abyssal Flames capable of burning through a soul.

"Burn to ashes!"

His fists reachedin a split second, countless strikes descended towards me, slowly chipping away my self- regenerating armor. More and more wounds covered my soul, but I held my ground. A hundred limbs made of phantom rushed towards him, countering his fists with my own techniques.

Each blow of my phantasmal fists slightly hurt his soul, and also began to weaken him. His stats beginning to decrease, completely unaware that by merely standing close to me, he was having his energy drained. My life draining curse already leaving a few runes over his body.Read Web s Online Free - Fire

"Uuggh…! Why do I feel weakened out of nowhere?!" He thought, noticing the runes spread over his arms. "What?! What is this?"

"The more this fight goes on, the weaker you will grow, Maleficus." I smiled. "Your flames are barely itching my soul. Do you even understand how big it is? You could never fathom it."

FLUOSH!

My Soul Aura expanded, like an endless sea of pure darkness. Maleficus gave a step back, the tattoos across his body activating as the power of all the entities he had assimilated into his body activated one after another.

"That means absolutely nothing!"

His fists absorbed his Aura, unleashing two powerful fists that resembled roaring black dragons.

BOOOMM…!!
