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

—–

Several explosions consumed Maria’s phantasmal body, as she wasn’t able to properly evade nor defend herself against Agatha’s Blood Bomb Technique, something that Maria had not managed to see through her gigantic list of Skills. It worked by pouring blood in a foe and making it explode, and her whip made sure the foe wouldn’t escape as well. If any normal person within A Rank, even an A Rank Adventurer were to be hit with that… they would surely blow into bits.

“Hahahah! I have used this technique dozens of times against arrogant Vampire Hunters and Priests that thought they could actually defeat me with some flashy attacks… They never thought that getting covered in my blood would be the last thing they would think about before blowing into bits!” Agatha laughed, looking at Maria with a sadistic smile, that smile slowly changed into a serious expression though.

Maria emerged from within the black smoke of the explosions, her body seemed slightly damaged, as pieces of her materialized appearance had turned phantasmal and a lot of black energy was leaking out, but simply rotating around her and transforming into countless of flies. Of course, Agatha lacked Appraisal, and was unaware that Maria had an insane amount of Magic Stat and defensive Skills that lowered Elemental Damage and Magic Damage… this made her an insane magic tank, it would had been more effective to slap her with her whip that making her explode!

“What? Is that it? It didn’t even itch…” Said Maria with an expressionless face, her domineering presence quickly intimidated Agatha, as Maria was finally able to see a bit of Agatha’s true expressions, she didn’t felt as confident as before as now she realized that Maria was someone that could easily tank the magic she felt so proud of!

Nonetheless… the damage was still there, Maria had a very small amount of HP compared to many of the powerhouses within Rank B and above, so small that even this damage took a good chunk of it. This was because since the beginning that she had been this way. A ghost has low HP and Physical Defense growth per level, and even after evolving many times, this hasn’t changed at all. Ghosts aren’t tanks.

Nonetheless… her HP was refilling at a rapid pace thanks to her ability to drain vitality from her foe, Agatha herself, and Agatha had self-regeneration too, so she became a HP bank for Maria, as long as Agatha had health, Maria would be able to recover it.

“You’re strange…! And you even have the ability to drain… My HP and MP are being drained continuously by merely standing by your side, and there’s no way to block this either… However, thanks to my regeneration, I can withstand it. You bitch, you can keep up as long as I am alive, huh?” Wondered Agatha while rubbing her chin. “Heh, I would love to have you as my personal slave, but a ghost is no fun, you got no bones and no flesh, not even blood! What’s the fun of it-“

“Abyssal Spear Arrows, Dark Storm!”

FLUOOOOSSSH!

Maria didn’t wasted a single second! Unlike her, Agatha wasn’t that good of a tank as she lacked the resistance skills she had, and the ones that she had were still not that strong either! Maria quickly decided to test out one of her newest and improved evolved Spells, Abyssal Spear Arrows, which evolved from the Shadow Spear Arrows skill that had reached Level 10 when she evolved into a Beelzebub!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

By combining them with Dark Storm, she was able to move them through the air at an even faster speed, the spears reached the woman in seconds! Agatha flew away to evade for the first time, using her powerful Cursed Whip to retaliate and intercept the spears, making them explode ahead of time, but countless more were being generated, chasing her down like a storm of weapons!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“This bitch doesn’t let me rest at all!” Agatha muttered, infusing more energies into her vicious weapon. The Whip was not normal at all, and Maria had realized it. This weapon was a Cursed Weapon of high quality, infused with many Cursed Souls and Magical Power, and bathed in the essence of the Fragment of Evil stole from Maria’s family. It contained even more power than it did before, and it had even evolved after having slaughtered and taken many lives, being a high level and high ranked weapon.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

She used her whip several times, attacking Maria with it and unleashing a storm of whipping attacks, the whip moved so amazingly fast that when merged with Agatha’s Blood Aura, it turned into a spiraling force field of red energies! The storm clashed against Maria’s magic in midair, forming explosions everywhere, and spreading out shockwaves that generated even more thunderous explosions.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“That damn werewolf! Where is he?!” Wondered Agatha, looking down into the floor to realize the Werewolf was still struggling against the giant metal slime, Mercury knew it couldn’t beat him at all, but he was stalling time by capturing him! The nameless servant was constantly trying to find a core, as all slimes had one, but Mercury lacked one, so it was futile!

“GRAAAWWRRR! DAMN SLIME!!!” The werewolf couldn’t help but roar in frustration, unleashing his physical attacks and everything he could muster. Agatha gritted her teeth as she felt like this stupid dog was not worth all the time she spent training him!

“You stupid dog, use that special ability! It doesn’t matter if it consumes your soul, DO IT!” Roared Agatha, as Maria quickly stopped her from talking any longer, clashing against her with hundreds of Phantasmal Limbs, two of them holding a Golden Axe and a Cursed Blade, while the others unleashed a barrage of punches!

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Each attack was like a small explosion, continuously chipping away more and more of Agatha’s HP as she was once more pushed into a defensive stance, Maria was ruthlessly attacking her with everything she had!

Meanwhile, the werewolf heard his lady’s words, as he suddenly prepared himself…!
