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

Chapter 95



—–

A massive creature came running towards us after we defeated the last Chimera as if triggered by some kind of Boss Battle event. But perhaps when it noticed us now that the army of monstrous creatures was cleansed, it was able to properly discern us and ran here as fast as it could.

The monster was nothing less than a terrifying thought as the number of body parts it had stitched all over its body and the three heads it had… looked creepy.

The creature resembled a massive muscular hulk. The body looked like a combination of several animals, mostly the torso of a gorilla with the four legs of a massive lizard, perhaps even a dragon? It had three long tails, each one was different, while one of them, the one at the middle, was a massive scorpion tail, and the other two resembled rocky spear-tipped tails that you would see in some kind of earth-type lizard monster.

The three heads it had was the creepy part, as the first head in the middle was the head of a human, but it lacked any skin over its face, and it was just raw red flesh. It looked creepy as it lacked eyelids and its sharp teeth looked ready to chomp us down.

The head at the left was that of some giant and grotesque bird with a massive sharp hook-shaped beak, but it had no feathers, while the other head to the right was that of a massive crocodile, and it had a large jaw enough to snap your head off.

It had six muscular arms, and each arm was either covered by fur, scales, or metallic plates of armor. Some of these arms even had weapons and magical artifacts stuck to them, and the creature had many demonic crystals all across its body.

I could sense one in every limb and probably all around its torso, alongside three big ones in each head. I don’t even know if destroying all the heads could even bring that thing down, but it was certainly a terrifying beast.

On its back, it had several long tentacles of various colors, and they all leaked some deadly venom.

We should keep Emeraldine behind us.

“Grrrrrraaaaahhh… mama… papa… It hurts… Help… HELP!”

However, that wasn’t the most disturbing thing yet, as this creature began to speak in the voice of dozens of children. As if they were all going through constant pain, they were calling for the help of their parents.

A horrendous pain suddenly hit the core of my soul, as I felt a powerful curse trying to consume me the moment I heard its accursed voice, the eyes of the center-head shone brightly with red light.

Fuck, I thought I was immune to curses! Well, being a ghost makes you immune to status effects that affect physical bodies, so I guess curses don’t apply here?!

“Unggh…!”

“Maria! Are you okay?!” Asked Lucifer.

“Master!” Cried Partner.

“Maria-sama!” Shouted Emeraldine.

“Stop! Don’t worry about me. I am fine! Don’t… look at that thing’s eyes, no matter what! It can inflict a strong Soul Curse… Fuck!”

I felt as if the curse was slowly beginning to eat away at my soul from its very core. What kind of accursed Curse was this?! It was way too overpowered!

I checked this creature’s horrendous stats, and I saw they were pretty fucking high. The creature’s name was [Grand Chimera Behemoth Tyrant], a B+ Ranked monster with enough stats to pulverize me.

We’ll have to go all out on this one!

But first… The Curse used on me was part of its Evil Eye of Soul Eating.

I see, so my soul was about to get fucking eaten, right.

I quickly shapeshifted my hand into a sharp materialized dark claw, and I used it to grasp the area with the curse slowly spreading… And pulled it straight out through my own Soul Eating.

CRASH!

“Uagh!”

It hurt like hell! But I managed to take out the curse, and then, I quickly devoured my own soul fragment. Thankfully, the curse quickly dissipated after being eaten.

I guess you have to fight fire with fire.

A few consecutive uses of Undead Healing quickly healed back the wound in my soul as I glared at the Chimera slowly approaching us, and it seemed a bit timid.

“Prepare yourselves!”

I once more prepared the Domain of Dark Shadows and Death while keeping my Demonic Blade close to me. I coated it in Shadows and manipulated it in midair through Shadow Manipulation. I even went as far as “inserting” a part of my own mind, something I had just begun to learn to do right about now.

This massive demon blade was going to be our new party member, I guess. While I use the staff to enhance my magic, this blade’s own power will attack the creature.

Lucifer’s big body will be our primary tank alongside all the Undead I am raising right now through Fake Life, as all the chimera we have slain recently came back to “life” as my servants.

Partner and Kuro would also fight in the frontlines but will try to fight off the beast through quick attacks whenever it lowers its guard.

Meanwhile, Emeraldine and I will support the frontliners with our Magic. My Domain is already doing wonders for their damage and defenses, but my magic will also come in clutch.

Also, I will constantly use Life Drain and Mana Siphon to slowly drain the life and mana out of this giant gorilla.

While doing so, I will employ the barriers of shadows I have and spam my attack spells as much as I possibly can while making sure to heal my allies, which Emeraldine cannot heal herself.

Her barriers and long-ranged attacks will be more than enough, however.

“GGRRAAAAAA!”

Suddenly, the chimera didn’t wait for us to coordinate as it jumped straight towards me with all its might!

Fuck!

“[Shadow Barrier]!”

I overcharged my shadow barrier spell with mana and conjured it in an instant.

The massive beast hit it directly, getting flattened over the barrier of shadows!

CRASH!

Only for it to break right after!

“GRRAA!”

Its massive claws reached me, ready to break down my soul into pieces.
