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

Chapter 383 Abyss Eater And Miasmic Essence Manipulation



—–

Abyss Eater seemed like a pretty good Skill by itself, and due to the powers it has, I can already tell it will be very useful from now on. Maybe I could probably be capable of using the Skill to devour the secretions of the Fragments of the Evil God. Though, can I eat a Fragment by itself? They’re pretty strong though, a mere fragment causes all of this chaos, so eating one would pretty much make me explode or something… But thinking about it, the only way to get rid of these things is by eating them or completely destroying them to a subatomic level. Can’t gods do this? Why do they just let these fragments lay around as if nothing? Are they lazy bastards? No…

I am sure there must be another reason, mere laziness would be an unrealistic excuse for beings that have lived so long. Perhaps what they can do in the mortal world is more limited than I could imagine. Although I would really like to know that firsthand. Hel hasn’t spoken to me since back then, now I’ve evolved again and literally no words at all. Is she ignoring me? Does she even cares about me at this point? Or maybe she’s busy?

Ah, well, it is pointless to think about her, I’ll just look at the last Skill.

[Miasmic Essence Manipulation: Lv1]

A Skill granted to someone who not only has absorbed but also manipulated Miasmic Essence and its various iterations. This power grants the user an enhanced ability over the manipulation of Miasmic Essence, capable of creating changes in the land or even creating monsters, turning equipment into Cursed Equipment, and more. However, Miasma cannot be produced nor stored. Additionally, it decreases damage received from Miasma and Dark Spectrum Elements by -10% with each Skill Level.

Oh! Quite simple, but I like it. This Skill pretty much grants the enhanced ability to manipulate Miasma, something I seem to have already done before without realizing, how curious. And aside from that, it decreases damage taken from Miasma and Dark Spectrum Elements, which I’m pretty sure include things like Darkness and the like… but I am already naturally resistant to all of those elements, so it seems slightly pointless. Ah, well, beggars can’t be choosers. I should just be happy I got another Skill and move over.

At the end, we finally moved out. The Inn Lady looked at our party with a weird smile, but we ignored her. And of course, as we walked across the streets, we saw many of my Undead still working around. The people would still stay away from them, but they didn’t panicked before the Undead or something, so things were alright for the moment.

And of course, our presences and appearances were already know by a large majority of the people. The vast majority, even. The moment we walked across the streets, several people pointed their fingers at us, some called my name “Mary”! And the other three were simply referred as the “Winged Majin” and the “Elf Priestess”, or the “Lady of red eyes” that was Partner.

I guess we have become rather popular around here, but that didn’t meant we would suddenly begin taking advantage of it! We acted very calm and simply received the people’s praises without saying a word, mostly out of embarrassment ourselves.

When we made our way back to Julia, we were greeted by a few soldiers that were guarding the big manor where Julia was. The doors opened when we arrived, and Julia invited us to eat breakfast with her. Although we had already eaten breakfast back in the Inn, it wasn’t the biggest feast there was, so we still had some room for more food, especially my Phantasmal Stomach, which sometimes makes me think it is near endless in size.

“Thanks for the sweets, Julia! It’s always a pleasure to work for you when you give us this much.” I giggled while stuffing myself with cake and cookies.

“Hahaha, you really have a sweet tooth, don’t you, Mary?” Sighed Julia. “Anyways, today we’ll continue slowly rebuilding things as usual for the most part. I think your Undead are more than enough, so you should simply try to take the week off for now. I am doing my best to bring stuff here as fast as possible, the King already sent me a letter through the Message Artifact.” Julia said, as Hector suddenly brought a large, purple-colored crystal ball.

“Oh? The King finally said something?” Wondered Lucifer. “I was already assuming that old man was a sitting duck. Does he do anything for his Nation at all?”

Lucifer’s bold words made Julia smile bitterly.

“Y-Yeah, I think the same to be honest, Lucifer…” She sighed. “But that’s how he is. At the very least, hearing about what happened here really hot him scared, so he decided to fund the reconstruction of the city, and has already sent a large sum of money here, alongside all sorts of resources and a lot of new personnel for the job.”

“Oooh! Isn’t that nice? I guess that old man’s really doing something that’s slightly more like his actual job.” Said Partner.

“Hahahaha!” Emeraldine couldn’t help but laugh as Lucifer and Partner spoke to the King in such a disrespectful manner. Julia didn’t seem offended, but felt a bit of embarrassment of having such an useless grandfather.

“Hah… Y-Yeah, now, I’ve also learned some news.” Said Julia. “Apparently, the meeting between the governors of the duchies of our nation has been moved to next year, in about four months from now.”

“Eh? For next year?” I asked while feeling slightly disappointed.

“Yeah, the King and the Royal Family got scared about the possibility of Vampires ambushing them all in such a party… So they decided to let things “calm down” a bit before starting it.” Said Julia. “I know they’re cowardly but that’s how it is. I guess it is a fine move by him. This way he’ll also be able to send me more money without any of my annoying uncles getting involved.”
