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

-----

Christine was surprised, Maria had not died so easily. Summoning her powers, a giant Selene's Palm greeted the arrogant Vampiress, smashing her into the ground below. Her body was incredibly tough, but even then, she felt a tremendous amount of pain. It felt like a Titan had truly smacked her down like a fly!

SLAAASH!

"Do you truly believe something like that can stop me?!" The Vampiress swiftly cut through the Selene's Palm with her sword, and then leaped into the air, flying with bat-like wings made of her blood aura. "Where are you?! I cut you into pieces, are there more of your bodies out there?!"

"More of my bodies?" Maria spoke inside her mind again. "No, dear, this entire place, everywhere, is my body."

"Wha…?!" Christine looked around herself, the entire Shadow Realm Domain where she was trapped. "No, that's ridiculous! Only the strongest Ascendant Rankers could ever accomplish such a feat! And barely! This is merely sillusion of yours, isn't it?!"

As she roared in frustration, Maria swiftly attacked. Thousands of phantasmal arms moved downwards, punching, piercing, and slashing against Christine. The proud Vampiress used her Blood Aura Barrier and her Blood Armor to defend, while swinging her sword vertically and horizontally.

Her movements becfaster and faster as Maria appeared from all around her. Dozens of Selene Palms constantly smacking her like a fly, while occasionally, a gigantic black halberd and a skeleton sword would unleash a combination of destructive techniques, shattering her armor.

"Are you starting the realize that this is not just a mere illusion, Christine?"

Maria's voice reverberated within Christine's mind. At the stas the Vampiress kept slashing away Maria's attacks. Hundreds of phantasmal limbs were being reduced by cinders, as her Crimson Blood Sword started to activate its special ability.

"No matter how much you try, you're nothing but a pitiful illusionist. Do you call these pitiful little hits your attacks?! HAH!" The Vampire was full of arrogance, but justifiably so.

Her strength was the real deal after all. As Maria unleashed a rain of dozens of Abyssal Netherworld's Stars of smaller size to see how she could react, the Vampiress' eyes shone with crimson light.

"Enough. [Divine Blood Aura Arts]: [Blood Sword Intent]!"

Her Blood Aura expanded, transforming into hundreds of swords at once. Maria opened her eyes widely as she saw all her projectiles being sliced into halves by the Vampiress' sole Blood Aura, which by itself becswords.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Maria swiftly evaded the storm of slashing attacks, which continued slashing through her Shadow Realm, beginning to weaken the entire domain by itself.

"That ability… Is she also combining techniques from Murim and her own world?" Wondered Maria, squinting her eyes. "Well, let's see if you can cut through everything I have in store for you."

With a rather wicked and malicious smile, Maria quickly combined several skill effects and abilities together, her entire Shadow Realm transforming into a sea of slimy poison, rushing towards the Vampiress.

"Poison? Don't joke with me!"

As she laughed and slashed through the poison, it swiftly regenerated back, constantly fusing together. The Vampiress eyes then flashed, small voids in space were created, generating holes across Maria's body, which had transformed into the poison itself.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"I see, so that's how it works." Maria analyzed her eyes abilities. "You can create carve through space using your eyes, don't you? Your Sword techniques are good, yes. And your Blood Aura too. But at the end, that deadly power of yours is what makes you think you're untouchable."

"You guessed it already? Well, I suppose there's little point in hiding it." Laughed Christine, swinging her sword with a single arm horizontally, unleashing a wave of crimson blood ki that cut through Maria once more, this tboth of her halves exploded.

SLASH! BOOOM!

"If you're still alive after that, then I'll tell you more." Christine laughed. "These eyes are the [Demonic Eyes of the Void]! Special Eyes that I took away from the Void Demon, Belphegor as payment for his powers. I only acquired one though, ah, I bet you've already meet him, haven't you?"

"Belphegor, that bastard that set up that whole void domain…" Maria said. "I see, so I guess you bastards have been working with the Warlocks and letguess, the other Vampires this entire time?"

"More or less! What happened to Belphegor? The eye he made foris working really well!" Laughed Christine. "In exchange for this eye, I gave him a powerful relic that augmented his magical prowess beyond what any pitiful ant could achieve in this world."

"Belphegor? Oh, he's dead." Maria simply smiled gently at Christine, before waving her hands and suddenly distorting space itself.

Void Essence flowed through her entire body as she channeled it from her Spirit Treasures inside of her Soul Scape. The Vampiress quickly felt an threatening power surging from within the ghost woman, as she surged from the endless shadows, always completely unfazed by anything she did against her.

"[Void Devourer]"

Maria activated the power of her Title, of the sname. As she rushed towards the Vampiress. Christine greeted her with a barrage of Blood Sword Aura Intent, which attempted to slice through all of Maria's soul this time.

"Don't you dare give another step!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

As the slashing attacks attempted to stop Maria, her armor and her equipment's bonus stats and defense stats swiftly protected her from the majority of the damage. All while Hecate, her dress itself, acted independently, summoning several powerful spells at once.

This tthe Spells of her Qliphoth Tree Magic Skill activated. Abyssal Life Draining Roots appeared out of thin air, attempting to drain the life off Christine, Decaying Spores of Death weakened her, engulfing her on a cloud of black spores, Dark Leaves of Soul Tearing attacked her incessantly, trying to cut through her very soul like a storm of black leaves, and Netherworld's Bark Armor covered Maria's body, further boosting her defensive capabilities.

TRUUUM!

A black void appeared within Maria once more, threatening to devour a piece of her soul once more.

Yet… her [Void Devourer] Title activated.
