Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army! -
Chapter 98
—–
The dozens of Undead exploded continuously, one after another. The chimera was overwhelmed by the explosive destruction that they caused, so its entire body couldn’t take the massive damage, and I saw its HP finally drop down!
BOOOOMMM!!!
I used Shadow Barriers materialized into powerful and hard walls to protect us from the shockwaves and the fiery explosions made into several layers. Still, the power of these explosions was obviously stronger than them. If the chimera was able to punch my barriers and break them, an explosion that can damage it can obviously destroy my barriers too.
But, it bought us enough time. I used this time to store everyone inside my Shadow Storage and flew into the underground, abusing my phantasmal nature to get below the dirt and completely evade the explosion.
I waited until things ended to resurge from the floor, noticing that the chimera had yet to die. It was barely hanging onto its life, and it probably had around 5% of its total HP, and its entire body was torn apart horrendously.
I saw dozens of souls merged together inside of this abomination, all groaning painfully. They were clearly suffering a lot.
“I’ll end it for you quickly,” I said as I generated a spike of darkness and impacted the monster’s Main Core, breaking it apart.
The demonic energy that fueled its body quickly dissipated, and the monster fell silent. Its HP went down to zero. It was over.
“Emeraldine, can you do something?” I asked.
“Yes, leave it to me.”
Emeraldine purified the souls left haunting the corpse as they slowly calmed themselves down from the pain and suffering they were going through… before slowly flying into the afterlife.
[Calculating EXP…]
[You gained 360000 EXP]
[Your Level has increased from Level 28 to Level 29!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 29 to Level 30!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 30 to Level 31!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 31 to Level 32!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 32 to Level 33!]
[EXP: 56/100000]
[The Levels of several Skills have increased]
[You learned the [Undead Detonation: Lv1] and [Supernatural Senses: Lv1] Skills!]
Five levels in a row, not bad. Now I am just seven levels from reaching Level 40 and evolving once more. I thought my progression was slow, but it’s going pretty fast, to be honest.
But oh well, now that we are done here, we have to keep moving.
After Emeraldine cleansed the souls, the rest jumped out of my shadows and ran with me through the corridors, reaching the last room, where we found nobody…
“Did this bastard escape?!” Asked Lucifer.
“Damn it!” Shouted Partner.
“No, wait, he’s escaped through there. The spirits are guiding me,” Said Emeraldine, as she pointed out at what seemed to be a tunnel in the ceiling, which was closed by a door engraved with runes.
But it was very small! Of course, only a halfling would be able to realistically get himself inside of that place and get through it…
“Alright, jump in. We are following him!”
Everyone jumped into my shadows, and I flew into the ceiling, trespassing the runes like nothing and flying through the surface. Traveling through physical objects costs Mana, but I just leveled up, and my HP and MP refilled rather generously, so I had no problems regarding this for the moment!
FLAAAASSSSH!
Let’s see… let’s expand my senses using some Magic. Ghosts have supernatural senses, after all!
Through fusing my senses with my own body and then expanding my body several meters, I managed to spot a figure running desperately. I rushed forward and enhanced to full speed, diving into the darkness of the night using Shadow Sneak.
“Hahh…! I managed to escape in time! Heheh… hehehe! As long as I got these samples… I can make a newer Homunculus than those two brats. An even better- Eheeehh?!”
“Surprise!”
I caught the bastard who was celebrating his escape as I wrapped his legs with my Shadow Tentacles and pulled him upside down.
“GRRYYAAGGGH…! G-GHOST!” He cried in horror as I showed myself as a massive and horrendous specter.
I decided to utilize several Skills for this. One of them included things such as Aura of Famine, which exuded a strong life-eating aura of intimidation and poison, making him scream in horror.
I checked his stats, and he was an amazing user of Alchemy and Necromancy, but his stats were super low aside from this specialization. He was not a good fighter, nor did he have a lot of levels. He was barely a C- Rank. Weaker than the damn Necromancer we killed earlier.
“L-Let me goo!”
He cried desperately, trying to attack me with his feeble magic. I easily tanked it with my high magic defense and carelessly cut off his limbs before throwing him to the ground.
I sliced his limbs using the demonic blade, and each wound was left cursed and rotting right away. He screamed in pain, and his limbs were taking an awfully long time to regrow despite being a Vampire.
“Kids come out. You got someone to talk with,” I said.
“K-Kids? W-Wait… you’re…!”
The man muttered these words as I summoned the two kids that were his creations.
“So here he is….” Muttered Laura.
“Wow, I never thought I would see him in such a pathetic state,” Said Takeshi.
“You damn kids! It’s all your fault! Agh…! Y-You don’t know who you’re messing with! T-The Vampires will come after you!” Cried the man, whose name was Borudro… What the heck kind of name is that, honestly?
“So? What do you want to do with him? We can torture him some more, butcher him alive, or let him be eaten by Undead,” I said.
“No… I just wanted to kick him in the face,” Said Laura, as she kicked the man in the face with her all of the strength she could muster, twisting his nose upside down.
CLASH!
“Ugrryyaaggh…! Y-You little… bitch…! Aggh… Ahhha…”
