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

-----

After that, I decided to try out another fruit to see the effects of it again. But there was none this time. I didn't gain any stats and anything, not even a new Skill. But I did feel slightly stronger. And my soul expanded a bit more. But that was it. I guess the other four A++ Rank Fruits won't be much more useful to me. I might as well see if they can still work for Nyx.

"Here dear, more fruit for you."

"Yaaay!"

She quickly ate them all before I could even gauge if she was growing stronger out of them or not. But it worked. Her limits were perhaps much wider than mine because she wasn't as strong as I was, or something. Well, whatever was the real reason, it worked.

"Wooohaa! I am so powerful now!"

Her Phantasmal Aura had at least grown five times as big since she ate all the fruits. Her magic power almost doubled, and her mana definitely tripled. Above all, several of her Skills evolved and leveled up too. So she was immensely benefited by the fruits.

"It seems she got much stronger, that's nice." Lucifer nodded happily. "Though I would have minded sfruits for myself…"

"I know Nyx is important, so I won't complain myself~" Partner shrugged. "She's the youngest here, right?"

"Ahem! I mean, of course. She's my dearest daughter." Lucifer nodded. "If possible, prioritizing her growth above our own should be our goal. That is the goal of every parent, to help their children grow so they can becstrong and take care of themselves, eventually leaving the nest and spreading their wings, to find a new nest for themselves, a mate, and make more children-"

"You talk as if we were animals." I sighed. "Nyx can stay as much as she wants with us. I am not going to just tell her to go away once she hits adulthood!"

"I-I know, I was just saying…" He sighed. "Its usually what I was taught, the customs of us dragons. I personally left my nest at a fairly younger age. But I suppose Nyx can wait much longer, whatever she wants anyways. My dear daughter will know when to do the right thing." He smiled sweetly, patting the girl who was eating large pieces of roasted meat.

"I-I guess I didn't get to have a fruit…" Suddenly, Eustace appeared by my side. I immediately felt slightly bad about it.

"Oh my, sorry! I just forgot about you. Well, do you even need one? You're plenty strong already." I laughed.

"A bit more of strength wouldn't have been bad, but I understand the thought process behind it, yes." He nodded. "So, do we fight this night?"

"Yeah, tonight it is." I nodded to everyone. "We need to quickly get ready for that. Meditate, train your abilities, cultivate, eat, or sleep. Anything so you'll feel at 100% once the tcomes. I will be practicing one of my Skills, which is really damn annoying… The plan is already said and done, right? We all know our roles."

"Yeah, more or less. You spent several days telling us about what we would do." Catarina nodded. "We'll attack at midnight then?"

"Yes, but the hour can change. I will now expand my senses to see when we can do this safely." I said. "If you need anything, just call me!"

FLUOSH!

I quickly disappeared from the scene, moving inside of my own Shadow Realm, and sitting cross-legged. I floated in midair, closing my eyes and isolating myself from my surroundings. I began training my Senses Skill to their fullest potential.

I expanded my senses to the left, right, behind and in front. It was incredibly fantastical how it worked. If I focused enough, I could even put my own point of perspective just anywhere. As if my eyes were everywhere all at once.

And not only that, but I could also sell anywhere too, hear anywhere, touch and taste anywhere. Though the later is not really that useful. I don't really want to learn how the floor tastes like, so I'll be blocking that one for now.

…

However, as the hours went by and the night was already here, I had only advanced about thirty percent. It was still dizzy to even expand my senses. And I was now seriously considering just shutting most of the skill's enhancements for now.

But that would bringsuch a great disadvantage! I can't do that. I have to keep trying and working hard. It was still around eight pm, so there's smore time…

["You've unlocked a rather incredible Skill- No, many new incredible Skills. That fruit has sure helped you grow stronger."]

"Shut it, I am concentrating!"

["I know, I was just saying that… Well, I can also help you get used to these senses faster."]

"You can?! Why didn't you said so before?!"

["It was amusing to see you try so hard, you're cute when you're working hard and your face distorts as you're frustrated."]

"Ugh you're the fucking worst! Just tellhow!"

["Guess."]

"System Points again?"

["Hahah. Well, shall we begin? It should be quick."]

"Sure, sure. Whatever. Spend as much as you need. But givethe full control of this complicated Skill."

"I have never been so sure in my goddamn life! Now, do it."

["Alright then. Don't say I didn't warn you…"]

Ding!

[Automatic System Proficiency Acquisition System has been forcefully unlocked.]

[Authorization has been granted without issues due to the level of the Host's soul.]

[System Points will be spent to automatically rise the proficiency and robotically inject the knowledge and experience necessary to master the Skill's usage.]

[Warning, this might cause severe pain in the soul.]

[Are you sure you want to initiate this function?]

[Yes] [No]

"Seriously, with that again? Yes."

I pressed yes, and well, he wasn't wrong.

ZAAAP!

A world of pain buzzed through my entire soul, anything I had ever felt before was absolutely nothing.

And because it wasn't a dream where my feeling of pain was half-dulled, it was worse than the dream where The One shattered my soul.

I gritted my teeth, resisting the impulse to scream and swear. My senses consciously expanding.

Before I realized it, the process was done.
