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

Chapter 794 A Strange Fungal Disease

-----

Emeraldine completely let out of her rage, as she shoot an arrow straight through one of the mushrooms, blowing them up into pieces before it could even attack.

Her face distorted in utter fury and desperation, her eyes glowing fiercely with her spiritual energy. The two Divine Spirits merged into her body, as her Aura spread further everywhere.

"[Divine Spirit Arrow]!" 

Emeraldine moved at super high speed through her [Hyper Speed] and [Flash Step] Skills, and quickly fired Divine Spirit Arrows with the assistance of the [High-Speed Arrow Shooting] and [Multiple Arrow Shooting] Skills.

Naturally, with flashing speed and powerful explosive arrows that naturally dealt extra damage against Darkness and Chaos type monsters, the mushrooms were blown into pieces one after another, in a matter of seconds.

By controlling her Skills and her new powers, Emeraldine was able to easily summon more and more arrows, and even fire them all at the same time, which quickly flew into different directions at once.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

However, the Mushrooms kept emerging one after another, and some even emerged from the ground, walls and the ceiling! We couldn't leave everything to Emeraldine after all.

"RAAAAH!" Emeraldine continued on her rampage, as we supported her with our magic and attacks, while keeping the captured people safe.

"[Abyssal Death Flames]! Burn to ashes, you damn trash!" Lucifer roared, his black flames spreading around on his handsome humanoid form, which was wearing a really cool suit, making him look even cooler.

FLUOOOOSH!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!

The black flames spread around generating a domain of black flames, enhancing his damage even further, while purifying the soil and everything out of miasma.

"Let me help as well…" Tear said. "[Freeing Cage]! [Icicle Spears]!"

FLAAASH!

Meanwhile, Tear conjured a magic that froze the foot of a dozen mushroom monsters at once and then pierced them countless times with spears made of ice that surged from the very frozen ground!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!

"[Sunlight Slash]!" Jonathan utilized his Divine Sword to give out fast, yet simple swings of his sword.

Bright beams of pure sunlight pierced the bodies of dozens of these monsters at once, making them explode into pieces.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"[Blood Swarm]!" Partner smiled devilishly, spreading her shadows as countless bat-shaped monsters emerged, made completely out of her own blood, which devastated surrounding foes, while she used her spears to carefreely slash them into pieces.

SLASH! SLASH! SLAAAASH!

Meanwhile, Nyx, Takeshi, and Laura combined their strength, as Nyx trapped the beasts with her Shadow Magic (which she inherited from me), and which Takeshi and Laura took down with powerful explosive attacks of water and fire magic.

And as of me? I created a barrier made out of my own soul around the victims, protecting them all, while at the same time summoning roots of the tree of death and piercing the bodies of the monsters, absorbing their souls and lives.

If I did this directly like this, it was possible to not let that big tree absorb their life essence and soul, which would make it only grow stronger… I couldn't do this with absolutely every monster we defeated, but still, it seemed to at least suffice.

"[Divine Black Lightning]!" And above that, I shoot down constant lightning strikes with my magic, which spread across many monsters at once, dealing devastating damage.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!!!

After just a few minutes, the monsters stopped emerging, even when we noticed some A- Rank variants in between the weaker ones, as if that would had made any difference anyways, we're so strong these guys are just flies.

Ding!

[You and your Party have defeated [Miasmic Giant Mushroom Aberration (B++ ~ A- Rank)] x185!]

[All of your Stats have increased.]

[You earned Bonus System Points.]

[Your Job Class/Subclass Level has increased from Level 64 to Level 66!]

"Seems like we're done…? Hopefully." Tear sighed. "Why were there so many of them? I think we fought over a hundred…"

"Yeah, to have so many at the same time, it is probably a bad sign…" Jonathan sighed.

"Uncle!" Emeraldine cried, as she found her uncle in between the many other people. "Uncle! Are you okay?! Maria, he's not responding…"

"Calm down, Emeraldine." I sighed.

I glanced at her uncle, an old elf man with a long ash colored beard and hair, and wearing broken glasses. Like everyone else, his body was covered on a strange, purple and blue colored mold infection, and there were mushrooms growing over his body.

It looked terrible. I had never dealt with something like this… I needed to analyze this carefully with my Analysis System Ability.

"System, please analyze this disease, or whatever it is!"

Ding!

[Analysis…]

[Analysis complete.]

[The subject has been detected to be infected with a large colony of Miasmic Mold and Venomous Mushrooms.]

[Their health state is dangerous. The Venomous Mushrooms are removable with enough care, as long as the roots are taken out. However, the Miasmic Mold is a different, mush more dangerous infection.]

[It has spread through his entire body, and is slowly draining away all of their lives, while fermenting their insides… Once a few more days pass, these people will become filled with mold and die dried out like mummies. Most likely.]

[A complete purification of the bodies through Divine-level Holy Light Magic could heal the symptoms and kill most things to an extent.]

[However, a special elixir is required to completely heal all subjects.]

[Necessary ingredients: The Origin of this Mold.]

This is worse than I imagined, so even with magic, it can't be completely healed?! We need some sort of freaking mold elixir. Does that tree has something to do with this?

The origin of the mold… It is most likely whatever that being is, which created all these monsters and this infection.

"For now, we have to quickly purify their bodies with Holy Light Magic! Jonathan! Do you think you could help us?"

"Of course!" Jonathan nodded. "Tell me what I need to do."

"I-I'll help too!" Emeraldine nodded in between tears.

"Very well, let's do this…"
