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

—–

We continued seeing the [Soul Projection] of Darkbound’s soul, it was like a movie because it merged the many perspectives of all the souls he was made out and created a perfect view of many points of view.

After they filled the dungeon with miasma, the Undead raised alongside Darkbound were left inside the graveyard by the Vampires while the blood suckers made sure to throw as much miasma inside the graveyard.

“This should get them distracted for a while. That annoying duchess will have a lot of headaches, haha…”

“Darkbound alone could destroy the entire city of these pesky humans… But I guess our lord has other plans for them.”

“The assassination of the duchess should happen soon as well. She’s too annoying, we need to get her out of the way.”_.

“We cannot halt the experimentations using the new drug… This new drug could mean a new beginning after all.”

“Yes… a new beginning…”

The Vampires quickly flew off into the shadows, disappearing from the scene as the [Soul Projection] quickly ended right there. I quickly decided to explain things in detail. I had learned this the moment I touched Darkbound’s composite soul after remaking him into my Undead. I had since then waiting for the moment to reveal this info, and the best way was through these movie-like projections I learned to make using my magic.

“As you can see… That’s how it went.” I said. “The sudden monster waves in the dungeon, and how it became active out of nowhere… And also the graveyard… everything is connected. The bad thing is that the dungeon is awfully close to the graveyard so it’s even worse.”

“I see… So the origin was the sacrifice of so many slaves right below our noses…” Sighed Julia. “This is… it’s horrible… These people… Why are they so obsessed with making everyone suffer?”

“Don’t get like that, Julia. Those people have their own nonsensical reasons for doing their things. We can’t really try to comprehend them; it won’t get us anywhere. I’ve already spread out through the entire city several tamed Ghosts and my own Phantasmal Familiars. We’ll learn about them very soon as they look through every corner without resting.” I said confidently.

“Marie!” Said Julia rather happily. “You’re so dependable…”

“For now we should move immediately to the dungeon, it is a dangerous place after all. I don’t want to leave you without personnel, so I decided we won’t take knights for now. There will be better ways to help them level up, for now, we’ll go on in our way.” I said.

“S-So sudden?” Asked Julia.

“I’ll leave Kuro and Raven with you, alongside Darkbound and a few other Undead I trust. They should be more than enough to protect you even against Vampires.” I said.

“I-I see…” Said Julia, looking at my Undead a bit frighteningly.

“Don’t worry, I’ll save them inside your soul for now so they don’t scare off the people.” I said. “Shadow Storage.” I touched Julia’s soul and shared my Shadow Storage with her shadow. With that, I was able to save the Undead there. They’ll emerge whenever she’s threatened. I also silently spread out strong Phantasmal Familiars around here as well, just in case anything weird happens.

“Can I join? I also want to help in defeating the monsters of that Dungeon. It might be quite hard for just you all.” Said Emiliano. “I am not known as the strongest mage of this fiefdom for nothing! I am a master of wind and fire magic, with some lightning magic and water magic as well.”

“Emiliano is very dependable as well!” Said Julia. “I am sure he’ll be a great asset.”

“No, I prefer him to stay with you and protect you. I fear that whenever we are gone from here, the Vampires might try to strike… or something. If that happens we’ll hurry back, but the backup I left for you should be more than enough to hold them for a bit.”

“Y-You’re talking as if it’s a fact its going to happen…” Said Julia.

“Well, I hope it doesn’t… but Julia, you have to know that you’re perhaps the greatest threat to the Vampires right now.” I said.

“M-Me? But I am weak…” She said.

“Yeah, you are, but you are not a corrupted noble that would sell her soul to them in exchange for profits and other things. You’re someone that genuinely cares for the people and even abolished things such as slavery… You’re unusual and someone that, due to her position, could change the entire structure of this Kingdom’s society with enough backing and support… For them, you’re one of their greatest threats as they specialize in disrupting corrupt societies from the inside out… Think about it carefully….” I said, as I looked at her eyes. Julia’s eyebrows raised as she blushed a bit.

“Y-You’re praising me way too much… I am merely an inept and untalented girl…” She sighed. However, she gripped her fists tightly as she looked at me with conviction clear in her shiny eyes. “But if you trust me so much… I can’t really help it! I’ll have to do my best and try to become the person you think I truly am… Thanks, Marie.”

“No worries! Now, let’s go guys, we got some dungeoning to do. This is our rematch!” I said, leading Lucifer, Emeraldine, and Partner out of the manor through the window. We all jumped out and I grabbed them with my Shadows, flying into the skies and reaching out. Julia, Emiliano, and Hector looked at us as we flew away with mouths wide open.

“T-They can fly so easily!” Said Julia.

“I-Incredible, I never thought Shadow Magic could help others fly…” Said Emiliano.

“Lady Marie is someone truly incredible… Young Lady, you’re really lucky to have found someone like her. She seems to be indebted to you for the favor you gave to her, and she seems willing to pay for it with more than we’ll ever be able to repay her for…” Said Hector.

“You’re right… I guess we have to work hard to meet her expectations.” Said Julia.
