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

—–

The illusion of Julia’s rapier moving incredibly fast was spectacular, but the vampire in the receiving end wouldn’t really think that way, he was suffering! Rapiers were interesting weapons as they, most of the time, were just giant needles, each attack was incredibly precise and reached a nerve of the vampire, who had always thought his nerves and the rest of his body had grown dulled as a half-undead. Well, he was very wrong! Julia’s [Ten Roses], the epitome of her training and growth was the strongest attack she had and could target a foe’s nerves to cause extra damage.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH…!

“AAGGH…!”

The Vampire cried in agony, quickly falling down the floor, all thanks to Julia’s own attacks! The other assassins fighting against the Undead and her two maids were left speechless, they believed the young duchess was a defenseless girl, but she had more than that within her!

“I almost died against an assassin because I was surprised… As long as I have my Rapier with me, I am not someone you can easily kill!” Julia said with a prideful voice, as she puffed her chest.

However, she suddenly felt one of the hands of the vampire she just knocked out reaching up to her leg, a sickly smile emerged on his lips as he unleashed the power of Blood Magic…!

“I’ll blast your leg! Blood Cont-“

“Ten Roses.”

As the vampire attempted to use Blood Control to control the blood of Julia by touching her leg and making the blood explode her limb, she retaliated before he could even make the full conjuration, her rapier hit him ten times over his head, piercing it then times and scrambling all of his brains! The attacks held so much force that his skull exploded into pieces in a goory scene!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

SPLAT…!

The assassin’s hand dropped in the floor as Julia, covered in blood, sighed in relief, her appearance was now menacing, the assassins felt something odd about her, she was way too merciless and stronger than they expected! Her eyes emanated a dark presence, and they were even glowing slightly red…! Despite her innocent demeanor and her spoiled girl attitude, Julia had trained how to fight since she was a child, only lacking level and not experience.

In a world ruled by levels, this was obviously an incredible disadvantage, but there was support. Maria had used her Familiars to enhance the power of her body through [Possession], Julia had felt herself being more ruthless and colder than before, and her stats had increased temporarily as well! Not only was Maria helping her with Undead, but she was even buffing Julia.

However, there was no time to think deeply about things, the battle continued to get more heated. Julia was constantly hoping for guards and soldiers to come to her rescue, but no matter how many minutes passed, nobody was coming…

“Fufu, you’re wondering where could your soldiers and knights be? Well, we have already taken care of most of them!” Laughed the masked woman, as the army of black-robbed assassins continued to come from the windows, they were an insane amount of people!

Julia, her two maids, and the Undead all began to run through the corridors while fighting against those that got in the way. Julia priority was now to escape! She couldn’t stick around here while there was danger at every corner. The masked Vampiress leisurely followed her while commanding her troops as she seemed to be enjoying the scene.

“DIE!!!”

A burlier assassin with a bigger figure and the tail of a gray fox jumped towards Julia, it was a Beast-man Vampire subordinate. Not only humans were converted, but other races also could become vampire subordinates. Those that successfully completed a transformation were not only stronger than the humans but they could even acquire unique powers for them based in the vampiric powers fusing the recipient’s race!

“[Lykan Transformation]! GRAAOOO!”

And that was happening right now, as this strange gray wolf vampire suddenly became thrice as big and muscular, as fur grew through every inch of his body. His human face turned into that of a wolf! He had transformed into a werewolf.

“A-A werewolf?!” Asked Julia in shock. These beasts had only been seen in folklore, and were once said that beast-kin could transform into Beasts, but that were only rumors spread to make them be discriminated, and were long forgotten! But to think that a Werewolf would actually be the result of a beast-kin turning into a Vampire was something Julia could had never imagined.

The werewolf’s claws creeped forward and clashed over the floor, generating countless cracks that destroyed the entire floor and made Julia and everyone else fall into the room below!

CRAAAASH!

“Uwaaahh!” Julia cried in surprise, but was quickly lifted by phantasmal snakes in midair, alongiside her maids. The other Undead fell into the ground without problems, as Darkbound quickly swung his phantasmal sword and fended off a few attackers, swiftly intercepting the werewolf with his sword.

CLASH!

“Unnggh…!”

The dog-faced vampire felt the enormous pressure and strength of Darkbound, a B Rank Monster, as his sword suddenly multiplied into many smaller phantasmal blades and rained upon the werewolf in all directions!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

“GRAAAH!”

The werewolf was bathed in blood as he unleashed cross-shaped slashes from his blood aura-covered wolf claws, intercepting several of Darkbound’s projectiles but still not being fast enough to fend them all, as several phantasmal blades pierced through his body and exploded quickly after.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“GRAARGH…!”

The explosions tore apart the werewolf’s flesh, but even with all those wounds, they slowly began to regenerate, his body was constantly being covered in blood, turning his fur crimson red as his eyes only shone more fiercely. This vampire wasn’t a normal one.

“GRAAAAAHH!!!”

The werewolf swiftly moved forward while roaring wrathfully. His enormous body exuded an incredibly strong Blood Aura that constantly reinforced his bones and muscles, and made his skin incredibly sturdy, the more damage he sustained, the stronger he grew as well thanks to his [Berserk Wrath] Skill, only activated on his Werewolf mode!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Was Darkbound… struggling?!
