Chapter 623: A New Dragon Is In The House
—–
After quickly turning off the zombie dragon menace, we began to work into the body that already had its flesh, skin, scales, and internal organs mildly regenerated through the Raise Undead spell, which automatically regenerated flesh into a skeleton to form a zombie. Although it is also possible to just raise a pure skeleton.
I had not thought about it yet, but maybe I will slowly begin to get more Undead friends, with the three ancestors becoming more alive than dead, I only go the ghosts with me, perhaps getting a few zombies that would act loyal, ghouls, thralls, and perhaps skeleton knights would be cool.
But they don't obey me naturally, so I have to go out of my way to waste a lot of mana and make phantasmal contracts with them using phantom magic, and that takes its time most of the time, it is not the easiest thing.
But I feel like it would be pointless to do it without a strong soul and a strong vessel to turn Undead, so until then I will wait for something good to show up, a corpse with a lot of resentment is the best at making them into Undead, souls also included into this resentment necessity.
Ah yes, and the souls of our enemies go inside of Rose's Phantasmal Stomach, where she constantly tortures the souls and bring them agony and nightmares, which generates negative emotions, while using the black jewel we got from Black, we are able to harvest this negative energy and make it into negative power and then turn it into mana.
Rose had been accumulating this mass of negative energy, and I have discovered that all Undead can benefit from it greatly, she was even able to evolve when I give her negative energy made of resentment and bad emotions before, so there is the possibility that the other Ghosts might be able to evolve if she infuses enough of that energy into them, and any future Undead we might raise.
Anyways, going back to reality, the body was filled with mana cores of my choosing. Because a Moonlight Dragon is very rare there aren't compatible mana cores directly with Mikoto's element, so I improvised and added dark mana cores we harvested from the many dark shadow sect disciples we killed indiscriminately back then, enough for her to be fueled with it.
Fear not, as I had previously told her about it and she seemed mostly okay with being enhanced with darkness, saying that it was a close element to moonlight as moonlight only shines in darkness.
I felt exahsuted so I quickly grabbed Mikoto's soul and put it in there, beginning to fuse the ghostly soul into each mana core as a catalyzer.
"W-Wait! I am not ready yet…! Aaaaaah!"
Mikoto ġrȯȧnėd, giving more of a ŀėwd mȯȧn than a groan at that, I felt a bit weirded out but I just didn't cared at this point.
"Just relax and let's get done with this." I said.
"U-Unngh…! Yukihime! You didn't told me this would feel so strange! Aaahhh!"
Mikoto's last mȯȧns came out weirdly as well, everyone in the room looked at her with judging eyes, but she continued to make sounds until things finally settled down.
The body began to slowly move, shining brightly with purple and black scales, and crimson-red eyes. Her horns had also been put there by me as they didn't grew back, and I fabricated them out of the horns of the giant shadow snakes and the metallic exoskeleton of the spiders that the dark shadow sect had.
By fusing them together powerful horn material was formed, with metallic qualities and with the shape of horns, which I stuck in her head as her new horns.
She looked rather demonic in appearance, she clearly wasn't the same as before, her appearance and the entire vibe she gave off were different, in a completely different level.
"Ahh… I have grown darker? My scales are black and purple instead of pink and red…" she sighed.
"Well yeah, it is because we didn't had materials compatible with how you used to look like, so we gave you mostly dark materials, some of your bones were also missing so I replaced them with the giant snakes' bones, the same with scales, eyes, and fangs. In fact I put two sharp needle-like fangs in your jaws so you can secrete the same deadly poison as those snakes… And those horns also hold dark magic power so you can shot dark beams from them." I said.
"Dark beams?! I guess… I am more of a Dark Moon Dragon now…" said Mikoto, trying to get into her new role.
And indeed, her status said she was named "Dark Moonlight Death Dragon Queen", so she had indeed mutated from her original self and become a brand new type of dragon we had not seen ever before, something completely new and out of this world, a completely new experience awaited us as we glanced at her being a new being and- ah, so boring.
"And now that I am done with you… You guys can finally go rest." I said.
The life mages and Pekora quickly left, as I walked back to my room.
"W-Wait! What about me?!" asked Vasilisius.
"You? Tomorrow… or past tomorrow, we'll see." I sighed.
"Ugh…" sighed Vasilisius.
"Come on old man, don't be so annoying, didn't you see how he managed to do it? You just need patience, it will eventually be your turn!" said Yukihime.
"Yes, stop being such an annoying old man." Said Mikoto.
"So you two are going to gang on me now that I am the only ghost left, huh? Hmph! You'll see… Whenever I regain my body, I will show you my true might!" said Vasilisius.
The two girls laughed.
"What true might are you talking about? The last time I remember, you had it pretty small." Said Yukihime.
"W-What?! You insolent woman! Stop recalling the past in such a manner! You're really a heartless person!" sighed Vasilisius.
Divorced life is hard, I see.
