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

—–

While the other Undead I make is qualified mostly as the “army,” and I don’t mind if they die or not, as I even sometimes might use them as detonation fodder for my Undead Detonation Skill, those I name are special in my heart, these are special and not just fodder to be revived over and over again.

The Undead I name is often special to me. They have a place inside of my heart and are my family, such as Partner, Kuro, Raven, and the new addition of Pyro, the blazing giant spider, who also jumped out of my shadows.

“Gryshi!”

The giant blazing spider greeted Kuro and Raven as the two jet-black undead pets looked at it rather angrily.

They had yet to get used to Pyro being part of the main crew now, especially because he was covered in flames, so he was not liked. Undead are naturally weak to the fire element. Even as strong as they had grown, Kuro and Raven still see Pyro as a menace that might threaten them, so they are not too fond of him.

I think they probably fear that he might end up burning them without Pyro realizing it. After all, he’s a fire-covered monster! He could do anything if he went insane.

Anyways, enough monster drama for now.

The Goblins finally came out as well, it was one of the few Majin Tribes we have with us, actually the only complete one we ever had, and they were all wearing tight winter clothes.

Most of the warriors had evolved into Hobgoblins, but those that were not into fighting were still rather low-leveled. The Elder, in specific, was still an Old Goblin, and so were most of those that didn’t fight.

“Well, we are here… It took us a while, but we have finally reached our destination!” said the Goblin Elder.

“I really thought you would end up kicking the bucket before we even reached our destiny, old man. I am pretty glad we are here…” said the Goblin Chief.

“Papa, look! A lot of snow everywhere! Can we make a snowman?” asked Gofumin.

“Maybe later… I don’t know if it’s okay for you to grab snow, your tiny hands will get all frozen.” Said the Goblin Chief, petting his little daughter in his arms.

As a Hobgoblin, he had grown into a pretty big size, almost human-sized, so his little daughter looked even more baby-like when he held her like that.

“You three are finally here… I think we are complete with you; the entire crew is here.” I said.

“Haha, I guess… it has been truly a long journey, hasn’t it?” asked the Goblin Chief.

“Yeah, it was filled with perilous encounters, but we did everything we could, and we managed to get through them all… In here, it should be super hard for the church of the Vampires to reach us, so we can be safe for a while, hopefully forever… But you’re never safe forever in this world.” I said.

Since we began our journey, we had been going through several trials. It has been quite a perilous journey indeed, but there was also a lot of fun in what we did. I think we could say it was a mildly enjoyable journey… aside from the giant spiders and then having to heal rabbit kin from a deadly disease.

Well, and there was the whole fight against the hunters, the priests, and the vampires! Wow, that was such a massive mess of a fight. I am glad we managed to get out of that place safely… if it wasn’t because of my Shadow Storage and my ability to self-divide as a snake ghost, things might have gotten a bit too bad. I am happy I picked up the Gorgon Evolution.

A lot of my shenanigans wouldn’t have been possible without having evolved into this amazing snake ghost capable of creating snake clones and dividing her mind through each snake head… And well, there are also my cheat abilities helping me at that…

“We are finally here, at long last. Everyone is safe as well. It was very hard…” sighed Emeraldine.

“Yeah, it was quite hard… But we are finally here at long last. The journey was super long, and we kind of lost ourselves around it, but we finally reached the destination.” I said.

“What should we do first? Maybe we should quickly settle down in some abandoned houses…” said Partner.

“Why some scrawny little houses? I want to take over the castle there! If nobody is doing it, I am taking the throne room as my room.” Said Catarina.

“That’ll only happen above my own corpse.” Said Lucifer.

“You’re already a corpse, giant lizard.” Said Catarina.

“Maria, remind me again why you decided to make this woman an ally…” said Lucifer.

“She’s strong, and we needed more heavy hitters. She also helps to lift stuff.” I said.

“…I guess.” Said Lucifer.

Amongst all of us, he and Partner were the only heavy hitters, so we needed a third one to balance it out. Catarina was the perfect option, so even with her horrid personality, we had to get her in.

“If we could take over the castle, then we can rest there and enjoy a nice time in that closed building. It doesn’t seem to have deteriorated, unlike the other things!” said Partner.

“Yes, we could stay there. It does look comfy….” I said.

“How about that one tower at the side? It feels like it could have some more rooms. It has not deteriorated either…” said Emeraldine.

“Ah, that’s the Demon King’s Castle and the Magician’s Tower. Both buildings are probably shrouded in leftover mana and maybe some enchantments left behind… this is probably why they have not deteriorated, unlike the other things…” said Lucifer.

“So that’s how it is…. I thought they were being occupied by someone or something like that. It would be pretty crazy…” said Emeraldine.

“Yeah, I sure hope there are some people at the very least. It would be nice….” I said.

“It seems… unlikely. I cannot sense a single sign of life there…” sighed Lucifer.
