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

—–

As Lucifer and Partner were taking down dozens of slimes, more continued to come here. As if it there were hundreds if not thousands of them! What did this Dungeon even do to make so many god damn slimes? I do remember fighting like four or five back then, but there are dozens now, hundreds! Maintaining the barrier is already quite taxing, especially because they constantly deal damage to it through their dissolving juices.

I have to constantly spend Mana, so my Mana is constantly going down with that of Emeraldine, all while I have to absorb the Mana from the surrounding slimes. They were many so it was still a sustainable strategy. The Mana from the Slimes constantly flowed towards me, and then I shared it with Emeraldine, so we continued to spend Mana together from a shared MP Pool, reinforcing the barrier with several layers at once.

The dozens of Skeleton Soldiers I summoned, Pyro and his spiders all fought as well. They would be easily eaten by the wave of slimes if it wasn’t for the barrier, so they were attacking from behind the barrier using weapons, claws, and magic and spiderwebs. The Skeleton Soldiers were not bad, as they had inherited the techniques and most skills from when they were alive, and had strengthened them a lot, so they were able to unleash strong weapon techniques. When all of them together fought, they created shockwaves that spread out into the slimes, throwing them away from the barrier and minimizing the damage they caused to it.

Meanwhile, Pyro unleashed a storm of blazing fire from his mouth, as his entire body was unleashing a storming fire from within. It was a big hot in here as it was a closed barrier, but we had to bear with it for now. His spider companions also fought quite well. A few of them knew basic Darkness Magic so they were firing Dark Bullets at the slimes from inside the barrier, breaking through their ranks._.

I had also conjured Death and Shadow Domain, so the strength of all of us except Emeraldine had increased, including the damage dealt and endurance of death and darkness magic. This reinforced the barrier as well as enhanced the damage dealt using death and darkness magic, helping the spiders deal more damage.

However, I also wanted to fight, and Emeraldine as well, just sitting here and slowly chip away at the slimes was not my style, and I don’t know if we can hold on for too long if we don’t go fully into an explosive offensive… So I decided to act, using part of my Mana to unleash a destructive storm of dark winds!

“[Dark Storm]!!!”

FLUOOOOOSSSSHHHH!!!

This Skill was once a lesser Skill that let me unleash cutting dark winds at foes, but now that it evolved when it hit Level 10, it had become Dark Storm, and quite literally, it unleashed a storm of dark winds towards our foes. The storms were special as they carried poison and other status ailments too, and I began spreading the storming winds all around our barriers, breaking through the foe slimes and splattering them as their slime cores shattered into pieces one by one!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

Dark Storm was way better for closed areas like Dungeons. If I used Dark Sun, even my friends would be affected by the powerful explosive shockwave it would release, the same for Pandora’s Box. Unless I am targeting a single foe and my friends are far from me, it is not really recommendable to abuse these two Skills. However, I wasn’t done yet!

“[Phantasmal Grasp]!!!”

I used the amazing [Phantasmal Grasp] Skill which had evolved from Ghost Touch, which had now evolved after hitting Level 10 into Phantasmal Grasp. This amazing Skill allowed me to stretch out my hands like phantasmal hands, which were way easier to use and stronger than the weak Phantasmal Clones I could make. If I made too many of those I would grow weaker too, and I made many back in the fiefdom, so for now, Phantasmal Grasp was better.

It could easily pierce through foes souls and deal a nice amount of damage to them, so I quickly began to create many Phantasmal Hands and began to attack the slimes with them, hitting their souls directly! However, that wasn’t all, I also grabbed my Axe and my Cursed Blade with two big Phantom Hands, and started swinging both powerful weapons by unleashing their Skills [Blade Slash] and [Strong Axe Strike] devastating a large side of the slime swarm with my combination of weapons and magic!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“I shall also assist a bit! Spirits, shine as bright as you can!” Emeraldine ordered her spirits, as both of them began to float around her, spiraling through and then unleashing flashes of bright light! They were simply put beams, but they were hitting the slimes quite precisely, and right into their slime cores! One by one the slimes began to fall to their demise. With our combination of attacks from all sides, the slimes finally began to drop in numbers, as I detected that they finally stopped coming here, we had already slain hundreds of these little goobers and it seems they were finally beginning to grow lower in numbers.

However… right after I thought we would get the first floor done, something strange began to quickly approach us. It was coming from the third floor and it was moving at an insanely fast speed upstairs!

BOOOM!!!

What emerged from the stairs leading down was a sea of liquid metal… it had a small golden crown atop its mass of liquid metal, and a large core inside of its metallic body. This was a…!
