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

-----

FLUOSH!

Ding!

[Celes]'s [Divine Oasis Spirit Soul] has absorbed the [Divine Oasis Spirit's Second Fragment]!]

[A part of the Soul's original powers has slowly awakened, All Stats have increased, All Skills have Leveled Up.]

Celes absorbed the second Rainbow Spirit Crystal, as a similar-looking water spirit appeared in front of him, calling herself Undine.

"Oh? What's this? Are you my master's reincarnation? You're so cuteeee!" The little spirit hugged his head. "My nis Undine! Let's be friends from now on!"

"S-Sure…" Celes was a bit overwhelmed, but accepted the spirit, nonetheless.

A second pact was made, and now Celes had absorbed two fragments and has two water spirits, my jealously keeps growing!

Oh well, I did absorb that super overpowered chaos core myself, so I can't complain…

"S-So these crystals were for Celes to absorb?" Silva asked. "Wow, it's like everything is connected…"

"In a sense, it might be. The damage we see, the ruins, the crystals, they're all part of the history of this place." Catarina analyzed the surroundings. "Celes has an important task, and those Warlocks are most likely behind the Dark Pest's presence growing, as the spirit said. I'm not saying I'm doubting Maria and the rest's strength, but there's nothing wrong with more power."

"Yeah! Celes is specially powerful, he healedfrom all the big damage I got easily!" Nyx said happily, nodding. "We'll be counting on you!"

My daughter really was growing closer to Celes faster than I imagined! Does she have a crush on him, or is it the other way around?

"T-Thanks… I-I'll do my best, Nyx, Silva…" Celes blushed while acting all adorably.

The two girls giggled, finding him quite cute.

"We'll be looking forward to it!" Silva smiled, acting much more lively compared to the twe meet her.

"Yeah, yeah!" Nyx nodded while waging her tail around.

Looks like Celes got himself a pair of cute cheerleaders, he can't possibly disappoint them now. I could see his decisiveness and courage was growing within his eyes.

"Hehe, you sure are popular, dear." His mother giggled. "I hope that one day, once all of this is over, you all can meet again when you're older…"

"We'll definitely cto see you regularly, Nia, don't worry." I smiled at her. "Now, onwards to the last one!"

We all moved to the third and last Rainbow Spirit Crystal, while wandering around the silent ruins. The reason no monsters were here was due to two factors, according to what I've analyzed.

First, the Rainbow Spirit Crystals formed a repelling barrier that kept monsters away, and second, that corrupted spiritual energy at the end, with the creepy voice.

"Leave this place…"

Yep, that one, is pretty intimidating! Whatever that guy is, he's surely keeping monsters on place too. Based on the Aura and Soul Voice alone, it is most likely a strong Undead.

"Oh, you're here." Jonathan greeted us once he saw us walking to the third crystal. "We've been looking at this shiny crystal for a while. Maybe you could mine it, Maria?"

"I've mined sfrom the others we found, don't worry honey." I said. "Fabian, can you move aside a bit?"

"O-Oh, right!" Fabian and the children were in ssort of trance while watching that crystal.

Perhaps something with their own powers had to do with it, the spiritual energy was rather intoxicating, but only Celes could properly amass it and absorb it.

"Do it, master!"

"Do it! Do it!"

"O-Okay, don't be so pushy…"

Celes touched the last crystal while the two spirits were cheering for him, its power surged like a bright blue light, fusing with him once more.

FLUOSH!

Ding!

[A part of the Soul's original powers has slowly awakened, All Stats have increased, All Skills have Leveled Up.]

POOF!

And as he gained the third fragment, a new Spirit materialized, one looking like the other three. I guess they were a tof spirit sisters.

They were all almost at the level of a Divine Spirit as well, of the lowest rank, like Emeraldine's Spirits, so they had potential.

"Hello… You must be the master's… reincarnation?"

The Spirit girl had glasses this time, readjusting them as she analyzed Celes Soul and appearance.

"Y-Yeah…"

The spirit nodded and smiled.

"Nice to meet you… My nis Haliae, I'm the youngest of t-

the third sisters…"

She was very shy compared to the other two. Nymph was the leader by far, while Undine was the energetic one, Haliae was shy and rather smart-looking.

"Now we're all finally together! After thousands of years. I am so happy, sisters."

"Yaaaay! Let's celebrate with a big party!"

"I'm happy to meet you two but you should tone it down, we're not alone in here…"

Their little sister then looked into the distance, where the mysterious and creepy voice had originally cfrom.

"That place… Isn't the resting place of Knight Eustace? The man that our master once loved…" Haliae said with a shy voice.

"That's right. But that place, he should have rested in peace after the battle, yet… it reeks with so much malice and evil energy." Sighed Nymph.

"Why's that?" Undine asked. "Knight Eustace… he died fighting the Dark Pest and was able to weaken that monster. He was a strong Awakened, but the Dark Pest had absorbed a Fragment of the Evil God, so he was naturally stronger… Master left him here after mourning his death. I don't remember ever seeing her so sad before."

The spirits all seemed sad as they looked into the distance. The word Awakened was once more used, and this Knight Eustace, was… perhaps the Divine Oasis Spirit's lover.

And did they say the Dark pest had absorbed a Fragment?! So does that mean that the thing itself was another being before it got that fragment?

"Leave this place!"

Suddenly, as we drew closer, the voice grew much stronger.

"I say to LEAVE!"

TRUUUM!

The dark aura continued surging from within it, shaking uncontrollably.

"It is really angry…" Celes said.

"It is full of resentment…" I sighed. "It must have had a gruesdeath. However, we're not leaving, Eustace."

I stood in front of everyone, shielding them from the shockwaves.

One step at a time, we finally made it.

"You shouldn't be here… Leave… this sacred place…!"
