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

—–

The massive attack coming from Frost was miraculously repelled by Lucifer in the very last moment, as he channeled the powers of the Draconic Records, a space similar to the Titan Records where all Dragons and their Progenitors could connect and share the power of the deceased with the now living dragons. Lucifer had been slowly getting used to this mysterious power but has yet to fully comprehend it. Nonetheless, he had figured the basics of it.

Crack… CRASH!

The massive shield he conjured by summoning the Blazing Scales of Muspel, the Progenitor of Fire Dragons quickly began shattering apart, disappearing after blocking Frost’s immense blow.

“Y-You saved me there…” Partner had to admit that Lucifer helped her. “Thank you I guess…”

“No, this is… This shield shouldn’t be as weak as to fall into pieces after just one blow!” Lucifer, however, panicked.

Although the shield fulfilled its purpose… Wasn’t it a bit too weak? Through this Lucifer quickly realized the lethality of the blow. Although Partner was very strong, she would had been frozen solid and then, most likely, shattered into bits.

“Ooooh! Most impressive!” Laughed Frost. “Although you dislike introductions, I would like to introduce myself once more. I am Knight Frost, milady the Queen’s First Knight, and one of her Frost Commanders.”

“Frost Commanders? I knew you guys were from the Frost Queen but she got you guys as lackeys?! Just how ridiculously strong is she then?” Partner wondered.

“I was once the Great King of a fallen Kingdom of Humans, who was destroyed by war. I lost everything, even my own life and that of my family. Milady gave me a second chance, she resurrected me, giving me an indestructible body and the ability to finally reclaim my Kingdom!” Frost laughed, pointing his axe at the two. “Now come! We shall settle this down like knights do! Battle me! No cowardly is allowed!”

Lucifer realized this man’s powers might originate not only from the gifted abilities granted to him upon his creation, but it was thanks to the powerful Soul he had. It was the Soul of an Ancient Human King, a King of the many Kingdoms that once thrived in the Continent of Midgard but were destroyed after the War of the Gods, where the Church of Light destroyed dozens of Kingdoms that dared to not make of the Religion of the Light God their main religion.

They weren’t fighting against just a Knight, he was a King. And his own mental image of himself projected into these powers, his own Unique Magic and Skills capable of summoning an entire Kingdom made of ice around him, allowing him to trap his foes within the Domain and to even redirect hits towards these surrounding buildings.

“If you are not coming down… Then my Army shall find you.” Frost said, raising one of his hands as he began summoning countless beings from the snow and ice, shaping as hundreds of ice golems in the shape of knights and people, charging straight towards Lucifer and Partner while they were in midair, as if they could just walk over the empty air! “Go! [Winter Kingdom’s Army]!”

“OOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!”

“FOR THE KING!”

“CAPTURE THE COWARDS!”

“KILL!”

“He can summon an army of Golems to fight for him as well?!” Partner said. “Hey! Who’s the coward now?!”

“I am merely inviting you to come at me!” Frost said.

FLAAAAAAASH!

Lucifer quickly spread out a powerful Domain of Death and Draconic Power around his surroundings. The entire Winter Kingdom was attacked by this upcoming darkness as the thousands of golem knights were burned and melted by the draconic black flames, which also, slowly, started to melt the other buildings.

“Don’t underestimate me.” Lucifer said furiously. “[Phantasmal Flames]! [Hellish Death Dragon Claws]!”

Lucifer’s gigantic claws were covered on phantasmal flames, as he swung them furiously against his foes. The ice golems began tearing apart and shattering into pieces one after the other, as he directed several of these slashing attacks at Frost from afar.

CLAAASH! CLAAAAASH! CLAAAAAASH!

“Most admirable performance! But this is it!”

However, Frost easily used his own shield to defend, while pointing his Axe at Lucifer and swinging it with great strength, generating a X-shaped slash made of pure Divine Frost Essence.

SLAAAAASH!

“[Divine Draconic Arts]: [Muspel’s Blazing Breath]! [Explosive Phantasmal Inferno]!”

Lucifer unleashed two attacks at once, a deadly, blazing breath of pure red flames, which crashed against Frost’s powerful X-shaped slash, while an explosive phantasmal inferno of netherworld flames quickly reached his target, blowing him and everything around him!

BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

However…

“Hah… How amusing! Fighting a dragon is one of the few things I could never do as a King back then… When I was feeble and weak, and pathetic!” Frost’s entire body was shattering apart, but then regenerating at an insanely fast speed.

CLAAAASH!

Meanwhile, a nearby tower fell apart and crumbled into pieces within the Kingdom, Lucifer realized that his powers were simpler than he had imagined.

“Those buildings… There’s over thirty of these things everywhere… So they take the damage for him, an as long as he’s here, all his wounds will quickly heal as well.” Lucifer quickly figured it out. “Partner!”

“I get it! I can’t hold this bastard back with this tiny body I have, but you’re a fatso so I am sure you can do it! I’ll blow up the buildings for you.” Partner said. “Don’t die!”

“Yeah, leave it to me!” Lucifer said.

FLAAASH!

However, as Partner went on her own, a blur of blue color reached Lucifer’s left side, it was Frost! He moved at a speed he didn’t expect from him, his gigantic axe reaching his neck!

“[Frozen Axe Arts]: [Freezing Decapitation]!”

SLAAAAAAASHHHH!!!

Lucifer was unable to react in time, as his entire head was sliced off his neck, blood gushed out like a fountain, as his face was filled with shock.

“LUCIFEEEEERRR!!!” Partner cried.

“This is what you get for lowering your guard in a fight between knights, Dragon!” Frost laughed.
