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

-----

(Maria's POV)

Once we managed to beat the annoying Paladins, we veiled ourselves on Stealth and Camouflage Spells and escaped into the farther areas of the city.

Despite being a city in the middle of the desert, it was tremendously huge, perhaps a bit bigger than Ruby Palace, as Sapphire Temple harbored a whole church, it had an even longer and richer history.

Compared to modern day Earth cities, its obviously not as big, but it might be the largest City I've ever visited, perhaps slightly larger than the Dwarven Metropolis.

There were countless of streets to choose for hiding, and there were also a lot of places to stay if we wanted, there were many Inns, and as we moved further into fancier areas of the city, things started looking rather beautiful.

The floor was paved, for once, there were beautifully made houses, the streets were clean, and there was also more security… But as long as we kept our appearances slightly changed through our shapeshifting abilities, we shouldn't be found out so easily.

We ended choosing a midway point between fancier places and the still poorer areas, as we paid an Inn and decided to hide in there to rest for a little while, as usual.

There were a lot of things we needed to talk about, and we were quite a lot of people, so we rented the largest room, which was as big as the whole third floor of the Inn… This also included renting all five of the rooms, so the kids could sleep comfortably.

The lady was rather surprised we were such a huge group, until we explained her they were our adopted kids… And we were a "merchant family", having gotten that merchant guild certification was really coming in useful right now, as it helped at our credibility, and well, if that didn't worked, I could had also done a few Mind Tricks… If you know what I meant.

But thankfully, there was no need for such trickery, as simply by stepping in and paying, we were given all the space we needed to unwind, and also a lot of meals, three a day for everyone! The Inn Keeper didn't questioned us anymore after I showed him a bag with gold coins.

"Phew~ We've finally got some time to rest…" I sighed in relief, hitting the fluffy bed. "Ahhh, this place of the town is sure fancy, these beds are so soft…"

"Yeah…" Partner yawned. "I want to take a nap; the strong sun gets me so tired…"

"I want to take a bath first; I am all sweaty." Emeraldine sighed.

"Ahem!" Lucifer muttered, as he glanced at us. "Are we not going to adress what has happened just now?" He said, pointing at Nia and Celes sleeping over the bed. They had fallen asleep in my Shadows, so we left them on their own bed to rest for the moment.

"I know, I know. We learned about this town's history, then some paladins showed up looking for water… Seriously? And then… Huh, Celes got a lot of magic talent." Partner was trying to tie things up, but she was utterly failing at it.

"T-That's not how it exactly went but yeah, something like that…" Lucifer sighed. "I am just rather worried, what should we do now? Should we bring Nia and Celes to our town? Would they be okay with that? And about Celes' powers… Didn't you heard they said that they were too abnormal to be just magic? I also sensed it, didn't you all? His soul emanated a powerful Divine Spirit Aura, stronger even than Emeraldine's Divine Spirits."

"Well, yeah." I sighed. "I've checked his soul already, and it is very strong, but it is kind of sealed? It is as if his own powers sealed themselves as a way to protect the boy…" I said, rubbing my chin. "It might be too much of a coincidence that he's the reincarnation, but I suppose that's not the first-time coincidences like these happen. After all I hold so many Titles, that Fate kind of… finds a way to get me involved in a lot of stuff."

I've learned a lot about Title Skills and Skills from the people of this world, and from what I've learned the most, they usually say that Title Skills are very important powers, they are very rare as well, so someone like me that holds so many is an incredibly rare occurrence. 

And it is said that Title Skills change the fate of people, and give them an "Aura of Charisma" that makes you know they're important… I'm not trying to explain things completely based in just that, but it is one of the elements that might be involved into this.

Well, not like I mind it, we are really strong and came here for a reason, and we don't mind getting our hands dirty either, so crazy things happening as a result of our very existences should be expected, even more now that we're S Rank beings…

Oh, talking about Ranks, let's check the System…

Ding!

[You have defeated [Shark-headed Aquatic Miasmic Aberration (S Rank)] x1!]

[Your Party have defeated [Two-headed Aquatic Miasmic Aberration (S- Rank)] x1 [Multi-headed Hydra Aquatic Miasmic Aberration (S- Rank)] x1!]

[You earned 15.000.000 EXP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[Your Level has increased to Level 100/100!]

[All your Stats have increased greatly!]

[Your Class and Race Level have reached Max Level!]

[You can now Evolve and Rank Up your Current Class!]

[By using System Points and other Materials, you can now customize your Class Rank Ups and Evolutions.]

[New System Functions will be unlocked upon Evolution!]

Uooh! Max Level! Finally! And above all, I can now Evolve and Rank Up my class but… What with that description? I need to spend System Points and Materials to get stronger Evolutions and Ranked Up Classes?

Interesting… But I don't know if that's a good thing, or something to make things even more complicated. Nonetheless, it's nice to know there'll be a new System Function unlocked once I evolve.

"Sigh, you're so relaxed about everything… Oh well, it's not like we don't have our history of insane events happening but still…" Lucifer sighed.

"Haha, sorry. Alright, I'll get more serious!" I nodded. "…After I take a bath and eat something though."

"Why even try…" Lucifer facepalmed. "Let's talk once we're all rested up then."
