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

Chapter 49



—–

The bastard sprung out of my fantastic shadow net and jumped straight towards me!

I used [Shadow Sneak] to evade him by diving into faraway shadows, but he rushed after me rather hastily.

Hmm…

Should I use my secret weapon? But it might affect the entire place.

I am referring to [Pandora’s Box], of course.

By using a lot of mana, I can unleash a powerful explosive attack of pure darkness, death, and poison elements, but the thing is, it’s a wide-range attack.

What if it gets to the people in the village, and they all die? I can’t let that happen.

Let’s see… Time to improvise.

“GRROAR!”

The netherworld beast reached me as I jumped out of the shadows and shaped my body like a snake.

I began to wrap him around with my own body as I began to overcharge myself with shadows!

“GRAAA?!”

Suddenly, he realized what was happening.

“Heh, feeling a bit tight?”

I wrapped around his limbs like the dexterous snake I am not and tightly held his limbs.

Then, I shaped the shadows into two spiked claws and used my own body to hold him as I started to tear him apart!

Oof, this costs a lot of Mana.

But he provides a great amount!

“GRRAAAAKKHHH…!”contemporary romance

A bit more and…!

CRACK!

I managed to tear his body in half as I saw a black substance coming out of the two halves.

The two halves fall to the ground, and only the half with an upper-body begins crawling around while the other is slowly melted back into a black substance that evaporates rather quickly.

What the heck are these guys?

The upper half begins to crawl in anger towards me while its other half slowly begins to grow out of this dark substance.

Wait, is this miasma? Were these guys made using those black potions as materials?

Huh… Maybe I should add that to my new Undead.

I quickly used my Shadow Whips through [Shadow Manipulation] to slap him into the ground.

I covered the shadow whips with phantasmal spikes, which I made as hard as I could.

I was infusing mana into the [Materialization] Skill, effectively raining the creature with spiky whips that began to tear it apart.

Does this thing have a soul?

I glared at it as it struggled to fight back.

It began to shoot super-fast venom bullets, but I didn’t evade them as they barely did any damage to me because they were magic-based, and my Magic stat is insanely high.

Fifty percent of it is my resistance, so the result is obvious… I am a magic tank.

Also, the venomous side doesn’t affect me thanks to status effect immunity, but it has some sort of acidic power, which even makes my phantom melt a bit, but thankfully, nothing too much.

“GRRAARR!”

Suddenly, as I slapped it to death, it released a shockwave of shadows and venom towards me.

I generated a barrier of shadows and materialized it into a large plate of dark matter-like hardened substance, something I didn’t know I could do!

CLASH!

The shockwave was blocked, but my wall shattered into pieces!

“GGRRYYAARR!”

I rushed into the air as I evaded his deadly leap.

The beast stats were pretty high even in this condition, but its HP was not recovering further, and that was because I used [Mana Siphon]… though I didn’t have much mana.

But thankfully, his regeneration is very weak now. I had also tried using [Life Drain], but it doesn’t work on Undead.

If a living being uses life drain on an undead, he will end up giving his own life to them as a counter effect, but if an undead does this to an undead, nothing happens. So it is only a tool that the undead can use against the living unless a living person wants to heal their wounded undead friend without having to give them their flesh and blood…

“GROAR!”

The beast released his phantom flame breath, and his claws were coated in nether, slashing through the air and throwing slashing claw-shaped energy waves at me.

I evaded and blocked some, but they packed a strong punch.

My barriers shattered quickly, and I ended up getting slashed a few times, but I constantly used [Undead Heal] on myself.

However, I have also been chipping away at him!

His HP was already lower than twenty percent… I had to just go a bit harder…

Several magic arrows made of shadows emerge around me. They resemble more like sharp spears, but I called them Arrow Spears instead!

And how about we add my new Shadow Materialization combination between [Shadow Manipulation] and [Materialization]?

The result? Super hardened flying projectiles! I am literally Gilgamesh but edgier now.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

My arrows continue to rain on the beast as it groans agonizingly.

And finally, its entire body is torn apart, piece by piece.

Die, motherfucker, die!

“GRRRYYAAAAGGGGH…!”

POOF!

Suddenly, it explodes into black smoke, leaving a pool of black water and its skull-head.

Sheesh, that was unexpectedly tough for a mob fight.

I felt the EXP travel into me, but I ignored it as I needed to aid my allies.

I found Lucifer getting almost owned by one of the beasts, despite them being much smaller.

It began to tear down his stomach and had already slashed one of his legs, making it difficult for him to move.

His claws were deadly as he had managed to lower the HP of the creature by half, but he was weaker due to his lower Rank and stats despite being a former dragon.

I guess he’s very rusty… Hopefully, this EXP can help him out!

CLASH!

I created a larger than usual spear arrow and materialized it, firing it at the monster.

The result? It was pierced from its torso down, and it lost its balance, trying to still slash at the dragon’s face.

“Maria!”

Lucifer cried at me as if he were delighted to see me.

“Having a tough time?”

“Just help me!” He cried, embarrassed, as we began to gang up on the beast.

My arrows were insuperable but consumed mana in insane quantities, so I decided to create a Shadow Blade this time and wielded it as if I were a swordswoman.

I was very clumsy, but Lucifer held the weakened beast with his claws, and I practiced a sword technique while slashing its body.

Haha! This is actually fun!

“GGRRYYEERGGH…”

Its HP went completely down, and thus, another one bit the dust.

Now, onwards to the third and last one because I want to continue drinking wine…
