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

—–

We were being swarmed by spiders! Without much hope, I quickly gathered my Mana from all around, absorbing the Mana from nearby plants, little animals, and the spiders themselves.

After that, I gathered it and infused it into my shadows, generating several snakes out of it, creating a swarm of giant snake-shaped shadows! Yes, no more tentacles. That’s outdated. What’s cool nowadays are snakes!

Later on I might change it to something else… but for now, I am fine with this! Each snake is like a clone of mine, and as they spread around, each clone begins to move independently. They quickly attack the spiders rushing towards me from the other side and catch them in their own bodies, coiling around their legs and abdomens. They cannot fight back, as the spiders’ bites just get pass through their phantasmal bodies without affecting them.

Your poison is ineffective against me, a ghost! You’re goners now!

I flew towards the caught spiders as I took out my Demon Blade and a giant ax, courtesy of Leon, and I began to dual wield them, slashing the spiders I had captured using my snakes!

S L A S H !

S L A S H !

S L A S H !

Wow, the ax is heavy, it will be hard to get used to this monster of a weapon, but I can see why burly guys love it. If you’re strong enough to wield this thing, the weight alone can easily kill a person. Anyways, I just have to swing it, and its enormous blade will easily slash through the spider’s entire body, slicing it in half.

And my Demon Blade is lighter. Using my Skills related to Blades and Swords, I can easily wield them with more precision and speed. A few slashes using it is more than enough to cover a spider with enormous wounds, killing it out of bleeding and spilling its guts out of its body.

I glanced as Lucifer was using his dragon form to fight. He was completely demolishing his own group of spiders, covering an entire area by himself. His enormous claws were easily piercing through the spider’s exoskeletons, making it an easy task for him to kill them.

Additionally, his movements, such as punches and kicks, had become pretty good for a dragon who just relied on claws and breath attacks. While being with us, he had learned how to use all of his body in a fight and had become way more formidable.

His breath attack was explosively destructive, and his aura of dark and phantasmal power covered his body and strengthened it. His movements were then supplemented with the power of his magic, too, as he fired dark spears, fireballs, thunderbolts, and more.

He was massacring spiders rather well. I was proud of my Lucy-chan.

And then there was Kuro, my adorable giant black cat, who was slashing through his enemies with his strong claws, mostly supporting Raven, a giant undead crow who had also evolved a couple of times.

The two large undead beasts were fighting with their great might. I remember having made them with many different materials from monsters I had saved. Kuro had great power using the elemental cores- or the shattered elemental cores of slimes, which had some power over the elements. This granted the cat the ability to wield elemental magic and also made his bones sturdy as I used the bones of powerful lizards.

The same went with Raven, although I used other materials from monsters we found along the way, and I gave him a poisonous beak that secretes corrosive venom. His claws also secreted venom, so he was slashing and peeking into the spiders, and they began to slowly get covered with wounds that were melting off their exoskeletons and flesh.

Those are my cute pets! Kuro and Raven have not disappointed me.

Partner was unleashing a barrage of attacks using her trusty spear. The spear she had since the beginning dropped by the Hydra we once fought. It came with poison secretion on its tip, which was as hot as pepper when thrown into the eyes. The spear itself had already reached Level 10 as weapons can level up as they are used or enhanced, and because it was a low-grade spear, it was able to level up quickly by just bathing in the blood of monsters and strong foes.

After it was bathed in the blood of vampires, it reached level 10 and then automatically evolved into a Blood Hydra Empress Spear and gained a new red color, and even several hissing snakes as decorations around the handle. The spear gained several new powers, and its stats skyrocketed. I had never thought certain weapons could evolve by themselves without using forging abilities!

Her powerful and evolved spear had been like her companion since she started her journey with me, so she was wielding it masterfully. Since the day I gave it to her, she had never let go of the spear, and she was now amazing at using it as if it were an extension of her body itself.

“RAAA!”

SLASH! CLAAAASH!

She moved swiftly, and with amazing speed, her spear danced around the battlefield. Its piercing blade easily pierced the heads of the spiders in seconds, leaving their eyes popping out in oozing liquid.

Her spear suddenly activated a special ability as blood energy began coming out of it, shaping as a deadly and gigantic snake of over 5 meters and fighting against two spiders, coiled around them, and then exploding!

BOOM!

This was but only one of the new abilities, as it also was able to directly absorb blood and transfer it to Partner so she could even drain the blood out of corpses with her spear.

Of course, the oozy green blood of spiders was not appetizing to Vampires, and she didn’t take them fancy at all, so she just killed them without seeing them as much of an appetizing meal. They were nothing other than annoying plagues…
