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

549 The Power Of {Cave King}!



—–

After Ruby told us that she’ll do whatever she can to alert the rest of the nobles of the Dwarf Country using the information I gave to her and the special Ring, we quickly decided to move on into our Dungeon. The Dungeon was renamed as Maria Dungeon, although I would had liked to call it Nyx Dungeon in honor of my baby girl, but that’s okay. Ruby and Aquamarine said the name cannot be changed once decided. And it is often named after the leader of the party that conquered the dungeon, which usually happens when the Dungeon Boss is defeated.

However, unlike “normal” Dungeon Conquests, which usually only lower the spawn rate of monsters, my special Dungeon Conquest doesn’t simply bring the dungeon to a safer state, but thanks to my ability to just hack the Dungeon Core as a whole, the whole dungeon is now my property. I can shape it as I like, or even produce monsters much more efficiently. Also this means we can safely use certain areas or even empty it completely from most monsters so it becomes a field where we can harvest vegetables, fruits, tubers, and more and also mine for ores in the deepest of the floors.

Honestly this Dungeon brought a lot of EXP to us, defeating all those juicy monsters was a nice way to earn EXP, if I can invest MP and summon a bunch of them, like hundreds, then we could potentially constantly earn EXP out of it. All these monsters were mostly B Rank or higher, right? Well, some were C Rank.

I also got a nice amount of Undead from them, although I sacrificed most by blowing them up later… Nonetheless! That’s my plan. We’ll concentrate most of the dungeon for harvesting but we’ll leave special places where I’ll summon the monsters and empty every inch of MP I’ve got inside of me, exchanging it for EXP instead.

The monsters back in the Affnaria Duchy Dungeon became weaker after the Miasmic Infection was ended, but this dungeon is naturally a high ranked one! It is worth giving it a try… but first we should begin planting things and using Agriculture Skills and Nature Magic from Emeraldine to enchant the seeds and the soil.

When we were done packing everything, we quickly flew to the second mountain with our entire guild members. Blackard was here, alongside Helga and the rest of the dwarven squad. Today, although as much as I would have wanted, we were not going to mine but work in the fields. We didn’t brought more people to help because we don’t need them. I’ve got my undead for that.

“So this is the passage…” Said Blackard. “Lady Maria this is a big hole! How do we even get down there?”

“Hmm… Maybe we should first shape it into some sort of stairs, right?” I wondered, quickly checking one of my weapons- or well, mining tools.

[Attack]: [+5000]

[Magic]: [+5000]

[Agility]: [+5000]

[Abilities]

[Cursed Pickaxe of Doom]: When using this Pickaxe inside a [Cave] grants an additional +50000 Attack. Stone can be shattered with more ease, and each swing of this pickaxe can spread into chain breaks, which will open more areas to break through. Bedrock is no problem for this pickaxe.

[Treasure Seeker]: While wielding this pickaxe, grants the ability to sense where there are high quality ores or even treasures, dungeons, equipment, and more within the interior of caves or similar areas. Increases the quality of Mined Ores by +50%.

[Cave King]: While being within a Cave, as long as the pickaxe is wielded, the user can see through the best spots to mine through. Mined ores can be easily checked through [Ore Appraisal] and stored within [Ore Inventory], and specific Ores the user has already Mined can be searched using [Ore Search]. Mined stone can be shaped through [Shaping] and even the internal structure of caves can be modified as long as they don’t contain high level Ores through [Cave Architect].

This amazing Pickaxe came with incredible abilities. One of them was this one, the [Cave King]!

This ability seemed to be perfect for me, as long as I wield this damn pickaxe, I can even shape the internal structure of caves using the power of [Cave Architect]! So let’s try that right away.

“Maybe we should begin mining the sides, or perhaps shaping a slope first.” Said Helga. “Might take us a couple of days though, but maybe if Lucifer or Maria uses their strength they can break open more easily- Wait, what are you doing?!”

Helga suddenly looked as I raised my black, menacing-looking pickaxe into the air, as I hit the hole’s walls with it, a loud thud echoed across the caves below.

CRAAAASSSSSHHH!!!

However, although a tremor quickly emerged by my powerful blow, the cave didn’t collapsed.

“[Cave Architect]!”

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, as if it were clay, I began hitting the walls and shaping them, even using my hands was okay, so I just created hundreds of phantasmal hands and started shaping the walls while floating around.

“What is she doing?!”

“She’s… shaping the cave walls?!”

“Incredible…”

“Lady Maria is sure filled with surprises…”

“T-That pickaxe…! I’ve never seen such a fine piece of art before!” Helga reacted in surprise as she saw my pickaxe in action.

In just half an hour, the caves were shaped into beautiful stairs going down right into the lake in front of the dungeon.
