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

Chapter 90



—–

I want some spirits, but I seem to not have the knack for the brighter ones such as Life and Nature, which is rather sad, as they’re also the most common.

But there’s no point in getting sad over it! I can still get Dark and Death ones, the rarest of the bunch…

Ugh.

Maybe I could get other elements too? Although your affinity is usually what decides which spirits will like you… But Emeraldine did say that slightly proficient spirit magicians were able to communicate and befriend spirits of even elements they were not compatible with and bring forth the power of elements they could not conjure.

It was interesting to think that such a thing could be possible. Maybe I could find a rare Light or Nature spirit willing to become my friend? And even then, perhaps a Water spirit? Or… a thunder spirit? Maybe a wind spirit? Or a fire spirit? A space and time spirit? Or… I don’t know anymore.

I can only hope for one to like me… Maybe I will have to show off my enchanting beauty to them! Perhaps showing off some more of my phantasmal white skin could work. I could even change my clothes into a sexy swimsuit to attract their attention! That’s what spirits like, right?

Who am I kidding? Perhaps they will just call me a thot and ignore me! Agh.

Well, not like it matters now. We won’t be getting any spirit chasing done any time soon. We still have things to do, such as killing a crazy scientist and me getting a ton of EXP out of it.

Ah, and of course, I must fulfill my destiny and avenge my parents.

There are three little piggies here that require to be slaughtered to feed me EXP. I might as well steal their belongings and increase the level of my Pickpocket Title Skill as well, cause… why not.

Now, as the sun slowly sunk beneath the horizon, we quickly walked away from the plaza and moved to a dark alley, where the kids quickly entered my shadows, and so did everyone else.

I merged with the shadows of the entire duchy, and now that it was night, everything was dark, and I could move incredibly easily through Shadow Sneak.

I used it to dive into the shadows and darkness as if they were mere water to me. I swam through it and moved towards my destiny, the house of the Duke of Benettina, Duke Roberto Albraun!

Of course, I wasn’t going to kill him right away, so he should be thankful I was letting him live a few more hours. I was going to go to the underground facility right below his ass, the massive underground dungeon-like area that was made here way before he was born.

Well, specifically, he made a massive manor atop it and then went to live there to mask the obvious experimentation facility ran by a crazed Vampire Halfling underneath.

According to the coordinates of the kids, we should be arriving in just a few more seconds.

Moving through shadows is incredibly efficient and fast! I can even skip entire buildings and pass through them thanks to my phantasmal nature. In fact, the combination of Shadow Sneak and my phantasmal body, which can pass through physical objects, is enough to let me go anywhere I want! And that’s quite literally!

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Fuhahahaha! Nothing can stand before me!

FLASH!

In an instant, I was already inside of the Duke’s territory. His beautiful garden was adorned with many colorful flowers, which seemed to greet me.

So this is where this aristocratic pig lives, I see!

There was nobody around but a few guards. This Duke is a loner that has no family and seems to only please himself using slaves… which is what I’ve heard.

I phased down below the ground, completely ignoring logic as I trespassed the floor itself and reached down below in an instant. There was no point in going around stairs or doors if I can just rush down below, right?

It may cost tons of mana to pass through so much physical mass, but the entire Duke’s army of soldiers up there gave me enough mana to achieve this relatively quickly.

I reached down below and found myself in the middle of a super strange and lugubrious lab.

There was a massive section where many tables were spread around. There were papers everywhere and flasks filled with strange liquids. A massive one even had fleshy bits, such as organs, and more floating in all kinds of glasses.

I saw a few Homunculus in the making as well, and though just a few, they looked like horrid fleshy abominations.

I might as well put their souls out of their misery while I am here.

This room was the largest and perhaps where he did his experiments… so!

I waved my hands as I merely willed it, and using my authority as the Undead Queen, I grabbed the souls of all the unfortunate abominations in this place and gathered them all inside of my Shadow Storage. Emeraldine then immediately began to purify them and let them move to the afterlife.

They don’t deserve to be eaten but to be freed from this suffering and their fleshy cages, as I am a benevolent woman. I shall purify you (with Emeraldine’s help), so you can have a happy afterlife!

The souls began to slowly fade away into the afterlife as they flew into another plane of existence within this world. Perhaps they can reincarnate later, and have better lives.

I didn’t want to cage them into being Undead, as they didn’t seem as resentful as the other souls I often found in the forest… which most of the time are those of monsters that died brutally.

All these souls were those of people this damn bastard had captured and then inserted into these fleshy abominations so these creatures could be born.

They were all people, probably former slaves.

Now, in just a few seconds, I freed all those within this room and decided to plunder everything else, throwing anything he had here into my Inventory!

“Bwahaha! Mine! Mine! Mine!”

I was going absolutely mental as I gave into my devilish greed.

“Huh?! Who’s there?!”

The voice of an old man resonated behind the massive metallic door in front of me.
