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

—–

“Kakakakaka!”

The Dark Skeleton Lord began to laugh as his power started to overflow.

After swallowing the potions in an instant, he exploded with power.

His entire body began to exude slimy black miasma, which he could control too!

He was also covered in black slime, similar to his miasma.

His blade began to slash around hysterically while being wielded by a black tentacle!

CLASH! SLASH! BOOM!

The rest of the tentacles began to attack us, as Lucifer was grabbed by one of them and thrown into the distance!

BOOOM!

“Uagh…!”

Partner tried to defend me as she dove in front of me while I began to quickly siphon away the mana of this thing… But it had increased so much that it definitely was going to take a while.

What kind of plot armor does this damn Dark Skeleton Lord have to get this transformation?

It is truly irritating!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“KAKAKA!”

The Dark Skeleton Lord began to laugh as it walked around, pulverizing the floor with its long tentacles.

It continued to hit everything as we evaded.

Partner counterattacked with her spear and her bloodwork, but that was barely doing any damage.

“Shit! This thing has such a high defense… and also magic defense. My magic is not even damaging that miasma thing….” I said as I healed Lucifer, and he got ready to battle again.

CLAAASH!

The Dark Skeleton Lord rushed towards us as it completely skipped Partner from its menu, reaching towards ME!

“KAAAA!”

It roared as the tentacles suddenly merged together and shaped into gigantic abyssal black jaws, reaching up to me and trying to devour me whole!

Are you fucking with me?

CLASH!

I flew into the shadows and evaded in time.

Lucifer wasn’t targeted, so he was fine, and actually, he used this opportunity to attack this thing, giving it a good body slam and then bathing it with slash attacks, piercing tail attacks, breath attacks, and magic spells!

“RRAAAAAA!”

BOOM! CLASH! CRASH!

Wow, he was going all out! Nice!

The explosive magic spells he released began to slow down the Dark Skeleton Lord as it tried to fight back against Lucifer, but Lucifer’s massive body continued to push him down.

Of course, he was being pierced by countless black tentacles, but he resisted them due to his nature as an undead while I conjured [Undead Healing] onto him.

Meanwhile, partner rushed towards where the Dark Skeleton Lord’s skeleton was, using her spear to break through the sea of miasma that was pouring from it.

“KAKAKA!”

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, the jaws of the Dark Skeleton Lord opened wide as it released a spiraling vortex of phantasmal flames towards us, burning through our defenses as Partner resisted the flames through a Materialized Shadow Barrier I created!

However, this bastard was so tough- Ah!

Right, why don’t I just do that?

I generated three other shadow barriers, hardened them, and then pushed them forward!

FLAAASH!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“KAAAAAAKKK…!”

Yes! I just used the materialized walls to hit the bastard as hard as possible.

His miasma and his main body were being pressed down into the ground, barely being able to move!

Come on…

“You two, gang on it!”

Lucifer and Partner nodded as their magical and physical attacks continued to break through the Dark Skeleton Lord’s large HP Bar.

Little by little, their explosive attacks began to finally tear through this damn skelly!

CLASH! BOOM! CRASH! SLASH!

“KAAAAKK… HAHA!”

However, it suddenly laughed as an explosion of shadows and miasma came from its core, blowing us all into the sky!

BOOOOOOOM!

The shockwave covered a large area around us, turning everything into a small wasteland…

My HP was critically reducing, so I continuously used [Undead Healing] on myself, and took a Mana Potion from the merchant, and drank it.

Phew…

I can’t use Health Potions; they actually damage Undead. But Mana Potions are good enough.

I only have a few, and they’re for emergencies only, but because my mana drain speed wasn’t enough to keep up with the [Undead Healing] I had to do, I was forced to drink one.

The shockwave dissipated as the Dark Skeleton Lord revealed itself to us.

Most of his miasma was now gone, and he seemed a bit weaker…

I looked for Partner and Lucifer and immediately noticed both of them had their HP bars below 5%.

They were barely hanging on thanks to their fantastic bulkiness compared to me.

I quickly continuously healed them and drank another mana potion.

“Are you guys okay?”

“I… Somewhat,” Lucifer responded.

“Ouch…” Sighed Partner.

We looked at the bastard in front of us, which was slowly walking towards us, raising his dark demon blade, his eyes flashing with killing intent as they released phantasmal blue flames…

It seems that in his desperation, he utilized most of the miasma and darkness he gained by drinking the potions to escape my barriers…

“KAAAA!”

FLASH!

He suddenly leaped towards us without even waiting for us to recover and started to release storming blade techniques that were so strong that they shook the entire place.

The ground was split, and even the faraway trees were being sliced.

This guy was way too OP! Could he have been an important figure, like a hero or something, when he was alive?

“GRAAAOO!”

However, Lucifer roared and coated himself with mana.

His dragon scales were reinforced through this, and he used a strong body slam to impact the minor Dark Skeleton Lord, crushing him into the ground!

SLASH!

However, the slashing attack it released was enough to reach Lucifer’s head and slice it!

EH?!

“Unngh…!”

“LUCIFER!”

“Ahh… M-Maria…”

I rushed towards his head, but he…
