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

-----

I looked in front of me. There was an enormous wall within this gigantic cave-like labyrinth maze. These walls were not here before, they suddenly emerged when we just stepped here, forming a dead end once more. However, I can easily sense the Boss through these walls, far away from here, but through this direction.

I've been using the Mental Mapping Skill to guide myself through this maze. I had originally thought I held the high ground in terms of this, but at the end the one doing this is capable of shaping the dungeon' structure to an extent, making it near impossible for us to get through guided by the map, and it would be even worse if we didn't had any.

Is the Boss' plan to just tire us out of our MP and Stamina and then go for the kill? I can already hear another hundred ants squad rushing our way. I wish I could just Tame them all using my [Insect Manipulation] and [Taming] Skills, but it seems impossible. Mostly because these Ants are being already controlled by what I've called "The Ant Queen", whoever that is.

I had broke my Pickaxe but I can still use my own body like I did back then, by simply shaping one of my arms into a pickaxe or something like a scythe, and then materializing it into the hardest component I could using [Embodiment], I quickly decided to give it a shot!

"SHAAAA!"

However, the cry of ants got to us faster than I imagined, not only their groans but their little legs walking over the floor by the hundreds made the surroundings tremble constantly.

"Alright, you guys cover me while I give it a shot!" I said.

"You better do it though!" Lucifer said.

"I'll do my best!" I laughed, quickly pointing my pickaxe-hand into the walls in front of me.

I concentrated all the Strength I could muster, putting every point of my Attack Stat into potion!

CLAAAASSSHHH!!!

An enormous tremor occurred, the walls began to tremble as sand and dirt began falling from the ceiling, however, not even a single crack appeared.

"What…? So I can't at the end, huh?"

I knew that certain Dungeons had enormously hard walls, ceilings, and walls, so hard that you can only break through them using spatial-bending attacks or… phantom. Wait, phantom!

The same way I did it with the previous dungeon to get to the Dungeon Core… Maye that could do it? If I insert my own phantom inside the walls like this…!

FLASH!

I quickly began to insert my own phantom into the walls, as the walls suddenly began to tremble. It was somehow working! As long as I can get into the insides, which seem to be softer and not protected by whatever power makes a dungeon structure indestructible, then…!

"Maria, hurry up!" Lucifer roared from behind.

"There are more ants incoming, there's like twenty Goliaths?! Can we handle them all on our own?!" Emeraldine panicked, she was growing more and more tired, no potions could easily heal such exhaustion.

"Uugh, stop complaining and trust Master for once, you lot!" Partner said furiously, as her cocky Vampiric nature emerged from her often childish behavior.

"Master, we are trusting you!" Lancelot said.

"GLUOP!" Gero cheered.

"You can do it!" Said Takeshi.

"Yeah!" Laura said.

Wait, the twins could also help me! Putting my phantom inside was taking too long, but if I can ask for their assistance, then things might be hastened a lot! Takeshi has the Fishing Rod from his [Fisherman] Unique Skill that can pass through anything as if they were water, and Laura can detonate things she touches.

"You two, come help me!" I said, as Takeshi and Laura, who were unleashing their attacks against a dozen ants quickly ran to my side, as their positions were quickly replaced by Undead Ants I was rising at the very moment by multi-tasking.

"Okay! But what should we do?! Ah! My fishing rod?!" Asked Takeshi, as if he read my mind, he quickly realized I wanted him to help me using his special ability.

"Can my ability also help somehow?" Wondered Laura.

"Yes dear, yours is also very important." I said, as I quickly held both children's hands using two phantom hands I created in the instant.

Laura immediately used her [Twin Connection] Unique Skill, connecting me with Takeshi and her own status, and merging our status together, something that can only be done through this special method, but it cost a lot of MP for Laura, and although I can heal her, it still very tiring for her soul, which could even shatter if I force her to overdo it.

However, if its for just a few seconds, then it is more than doable!

FLASH!

Fusing their power together with my own phantom, I quickly summoned the Fishing Rod and inserted the threads inside the walls themselves easily, as if it was water. But that doesn't work with us unless it is Takeshi himself who's submerging through it, and no, this power seems impossible to be shared with us apparently, it is something unique of him or something.

Nonetheless, as Laura imbued the power of her Detonation into the fishing rod inside, I wrapped it all around with my phantom and then used [Undead Detonation] with it!

And this is what I call dynamite Mining!

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!

An enormous explosion happened inside the walls themselves, which inflated unnaturally as if they were a balloon! What the heck?!

However… cracks began to emerge!

Crack… crack…!

Is this the space of the walls itself cracking? Amazing, we have to keep doing this!

BOOOOMMM!!!

BOOOOMMM!!!

BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

Crack… crack…!

More and more cracks appeared incessantly, until finally, after almost an entire minute of trying!

CRAAAASH!

RUMBLE!

The entire walls shattered, and an enormous earthquake took over the entire dungeon floor, enormous boulders began falling everywhere, crushing all the ants behind us as I saved everybody else by putting them inside my shadows, I quickly made my way through the broken walls, finally reaching the Boss Room!
