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

—–

“ROAR!”

Beowulf had lost all reason by now, rushing and leaping over Mercury with all his might. His claws unleashed slashing attacks against the giant undead metal slime. The power of his claws enhanced by the Beast Spirit of Wolves was devastating, unleashing destructive storms of spiritual and slashing winds. Mercury resisted them barely by hardening his body, and greeted Beowulf with hundreds of sharp metallic spikes while he took the form of a sphere made of metal. He rolled towards the wolf beast-kin with all his might, clashing against him and managing to pierce through his skin and flesh.

CLAAAASH!

“GUUOH…?!”

Beowulf vomited a mouthful of blood as he felt his internal organs being pierced by dozens of metallic spikes, even his heart and his lungs, his stomach, everything! His ribs were shattered, and he should be more than dead after this powerful attack…!

However…

“GRAARRRR!”

Beowulf’s wolf spirit wouldn’t simply let him die so easily, with a ruthless groan, he attacked Mercury. His gigantic claws destroyed the metallic spikes and then he quickly drilled through the soft liquid interior, breaking apart Mercury into pieces with a strong blow.

BOOOM!!!

“Gyuuuuhhh…!”

Mercury gave out a pitiful groan. Despite being an undead that shouldn’t feel pain, Beowulf wasn’t merely targeting the slime’s body, but each of his attacks somehow dealt damage into the slime’s soul, which could feel pain. Maria knew this already; the power of Beowulf’s spirit was able to inflict direct damage to the soul. However, Maria’s [Undead Healing] was also able to heal soul wounds, with this, she was constantly healing Mercury’s both physical and soul wounds.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Beowulf ruthlessly attacked Mercury, throwing him away into the distance with a strong kick.

BAAAAM!

Mercury, with the healing power of Maria’s phantasmal clone possessing his body, quickly began to recover his body pass and attacked by firing several spikes at Beowulf, quickly noticing that the wounds inflicted on him had already fully healed. His amazing regeneration ability left not too many open areas where Mercury could even attack. The only thing that they could do was stall for time while Maria fought Agatha.

“Having a hard time against my dog, ghost?” Wondered Agatha while floating in midair through the Vampire’s natural ability to fly. Amongst the many powers they could develop as they evolved and leveled up, [Levitation] was one of them. Her Cursed Whip began to move around, suddenly dividing into many whips. Agatha’s Blood Aura covered each whip which then gained a strange ability, turning the tip of the whips into furious snake heads.

“I am sure that my little slime can last longer than you imagine. And is your dog alright? He’s slowly destroying his own soul, are you okay with him killing himself for you?” Asked Maria while feeling disgust for this woman, capable of sacrificing her comrades without any sort of empathy against them. It was very obvious that their mindsets were very different, questioning her wouldn’t bring her to nowhere, and Maria knew it. But she did it anyways to stall for time for something she was preparing… she was slowly refilling her Mana to full once more by absorbing Agatha’s.

“Beowulf is a strong warrior! I am sure he can win before his soul is destroyed. And even if he dies, so be it. I can always ask a Necromancer within our organization to put a stronger and bigger compound soul inside of his body, after all he’s plenty strong, we can’t waste that mass of muscles, is that right?” Agatha asked with a cheeky smile. She had already encountered and fought against two Vampires with powers of Necromancy in the past. It wasn’t far-fetched to think that one of their many talents could be to develop this power. She was certainly not unique, although the things she could do through her Soul Grimoire were very unique.

“You’re a piece of shit.” However, Maria couldn’t help but say this, as both clashed against one another!

CLAAAASH!

“I was going easy on you because I dislike harming my beautiful body, but you’re leaving me no choice, ghost! You’re seriously a threat that I cannot left alive. I sadly lack holy light powers to purify the shit out of you, but I will destroy your soul into tiny pieces!!!” Agatha roared, as her whip unleashed a storm of red energy against Maria by moving rapidly. The storm was composed of pure Blood Aura, an energy capable of even harming souls that powerful Vampires could develop.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Each tip of the whip emerged as a monstrous snake head, which attempted to bite and tear apart Maria’s soul constantly. However, Maria smartly conjured several barriers of shadows and blocked the biting attacks, all while manipulating the barriers and shapeshifting them into tentacles to capture each snake and destroy them in time.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOM!

“HAAA!”

Agatha flew at a fast speed, reaching Maria’s back. Her free hand suddenly gathered Blood Aura and large quantities of Mana, forming an enormous blade materialized out of this energy and attempting to pierce Maria’s chest with it! Maria’s Phantasmal Limbs greeted Agatha from behind, however, as her Golden Axe and her Cursed Blade clashed against Agatha’s Red Sword.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“You really think I have any openings?” Maria asked ruthlessly, as her entire body suddenly exploded into dark smoke, suddenly turning into a massive swarm of flies that swarmed Agatha all over, biting and trying to absorb all her energy!

BBBZZZ…!

“U-Unngh…! Your damn drain powers are something else, but I am not a simple vampire, haha!” Agatha laughed, as Maria noticed how her MP and HP always kept regenerating, as if she was generating energy out of nowhere. She was simply incredibly powerful, someone at her level and as a Pure-Blood Vampire had insanely high regeneration abilities. The levels of her Self-Regeneration and Mana Regeneration Skills were all above 8! No matter how much Maria wanted to drain her dry, it seemed futile…!

“Blood Explosion!”

Agatha suddenly sprayed blood everywhere, and made it explode!

BOOOMMM!!!
