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

Chapter 50

As I glanced at the rest, I noticed Kuro and Partner working together to take down the last beast.

Its HP was already below fifty percent, and the two were working wonderfully together.

I suppose Kuro is weaker than Lucifer, so Partner felt inclined to aid the cat better. And I hope it is not because of favoritism… I hope!

“GRRAAAOOO!”

Kuro roared fiercely as he jumped towards the beast and tore a chunk of bone and black flesh away.

Partner used her spear techniques to pierce the wound and then shape several blood masses into blades, which pierced the beast again!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

“RAAARR!”

However, the beast was just as fierce as it attacked back with all its might and released a blast of shadows towards Kuro, shooting him into the sky.

“Kuro!”

I cried as I saw my cat fall onto the ground.

I instantly reached him and poured some phantasmal essence on him through [Undead Heal].

His wounds quickly healed, and his HP stabilized.

“Mrao…”

I petted him before flying towards Partner’s side.

Lucifer was barely standing as I forgot to heal him, but that doesn’t matter now.

“Haaahh!” Partner intercepted the enemy with her spear and used her long claws to defend herself.

The beast was wild and tried to chomp her head, but she punched it in the face.

Remember, she had steel bones!

CLASH!

“GRRYAAGGH…!”

“Partner, let me give you a hand!”

I created a net of shadows and materialized it, keeping it tightly strung together, and although it cost tons of mana, this beast provided it without any problems.

“Kill, kill, kill!”

Partner roared angrily as she used her spear to pierce the beast’s body several times, as I held it tightly to the ground.

The beast growled a few last groans as its HP went down to zero, and its body could not keep itself together anymore, causing it to die on the spot.

Phew, I guess that’s that…

Ding!

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[You gained 25000 EXP!]

[Your level has increased from level 3 to level 4!]

[Your level has increased from level 4 to level 5!]

[Your level has increased from level 5 to level 6!]

Sweet, three levels in one shot. This is what I call a good grind.

And what dropped items did we get? None, just black water, and some skulls… this is not a dungeon after all. Only dungeons have the “power” to give dropped items, it seems.

After the whole incident, I rushed towards Lucifer and stuck back his leg using [Undead Heal].

“You took your time…” He sighed.

“Now that we are done here… Erm, what the heck was that?” I asked Lucifer.

“The black-robed man is probably related to this. Were you able to catch any soul?” Lucifer countered my question with another question.

“No… it was weird. They were very small and phantasmal, like Partner’s soul when I first raised her into a Skeleton,” I responded.

“I see. Then it is probably Undead that was just raised, only for the objective of killing us… We should remain alert for the rest of the night while looking for clues as to where this bastard could be… I have the urge to crush him,”

“Crush!” Partner shouted angrily.

“Grao!” Kuro roared as if wanting to enter the conversation.

For the rest of the night, we continued watching around our surroundings. As Undead, we didn’t need sleep, so there was no problem in this regard.

I snacked on some dried meat sticks from the bandits and drank some fruit juice which they also had… it was a pretty fine meal.

But I shouldn’t get too gluttonous. Food is unnecessary for me, and more like just having fun, so I shouldn’t be eating what might be better off for someone else in the village… like the adorable Gofumin-chan.

The morning came sooner than we expected, and thankfully, nothing else had occurred.

After the goblins woke up, we spoke to them about the whole thing.

They were shocked that they slept through all of that, as the battle was definitely tough.

As they conversed amongst themselves, I decided to upgrade my Undead based on what I learned from these Netherworld Beasts.

I decided to use the miasma potions and the black water and bones they left behind.

And upon gathering all of these materials, I told one of the Bone Beasts to follow me.

I used the Bone Beast as an experiment to see if I could upgrade already existing Undead. The result? It didn’t work. It had to be used on something inert.

So I shed a tear as I dispelled the [Fake Life] spell from this little friend I only met for a day, leaving only his bones.

I used his bones for this new Undead’s body and mixed miasma potions into the concoction.

The result? I summoned my own Netherworld Beast!

Although it was fairly different, named Shadow Nether Beast, it wasn’t C Rank, but D+ Rank.

It was fine though, as it held some interesting abilities and was highly intelligent, resembling the Netherworld Beasts by quite a lot.

But the most noticeable difference was that they were covered in shadows.

I proceeded to do the same with every Undead, allowing me to make two more Shadow Nether Beasts while the Zombies turned into Dark Ooze Zombies.

Their skin turned black like charcoal, and they were covered in black ooze, which acted kind of like a slime.

They were able to open their body parts and release this ooze as tentacles to fight and surprise enemies… pretty useful.

I gave them the most important order which was protecting these people, and they seemed more intelligent than before, as they nodded with understanding.

Who would have known that this miasma potion could make such OP Undead?

I had considered using Undead as EXP bags for the goblins, but now that I upgraded them again and used materials on them, I feel like I shouldn’t waste them.

I also tried to make that one big fish Kuro caught into a zombie, but the result was that it began leaping around as it wasn’t in the water.

The goblins managed to kill it, but the EXP was so low it wasn’t really worth it.

Maybe EXP within Undead depends on the quality of their bodies and the souls they have…

Nonetheless, we will begin some scouting to find where this black-robed bastard is hiding.
