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

871 A Desperate Battle!

-----

Nyx unleashed her devastating breath attack, blasting through the aberrant Vampire, who had turned himself into a monstrous beast made of countless tentacles!

BOOOMMM!

The beast, however, survived the blast, unlike the previous Vampiric Monster that Nyx had destroyed, the huge hole in the tentacled aberration slowly started to regenerate, and it didn't bring its end either!

"Y-YOUU…! You're dangerous! If you already killed one of us, I MUST KILL YOU!"

The aberration quickly started moving its dozens of tentacles, pushing its whole body towards Nyx, its gigantic jaws opening wide, firing several beams of Corrupted Spiritual Energy and Blood Energy!

"It seems to be a bit tougher than the last one…!" Nyx quickly grabbed Celes and Nia with her hands, putting them over her shoulders and flying away from the beam attacks, barely evading a few, while her strong scales were able to protect her from most of the attacks she ended taking.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "UGH…!" Nyx groaned. "My scales are about to crack; I have to attack with some magic too!" Her Shadows and Phantasmal Magic Energies gathered around her, as she conjured her Magic Skills one after another, attempting to attack back her foe to stop his constant annoying blows.

"[Void Shadow Spear]! [Death Spear]!"

Spears made of concentrated Darkness with hints of Void Element materialized, alongside Spears made completely out of pure Death and Phantom Energies, descending rapidly towards the tentacled abomination! The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to N(Ov3l.B1n.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! The attacks pierced his body several times, covering him on explosions, the damage wasn't really that bad, but his regeneration speed helped him get through them! Nyx gritted her jaws angrily after seeing her magic not be as effective with someone like him.

"Heheh… Ugh! Your magic's not bad, child. But you will NEVER win in a fight of magic against me!" The monstrous vampire laughed, his many tentacles all conjuring magic on their own, dozens of magic circles, much stronger and more complex than Nyx were summoned! "Now I'll show you what magic truly is! [Vampiric Blood Shadow Magic]: [Crimson Abyss Blood Spears]!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! The attack made of magic spears was much more potent than Nyx's attacks, faster and quicker, and above all, they could even chase her around! She had to constantly conjure barriers with her powers, while blocking the explosions.

However, whenever a spear pierced her body, she would feel her HP and MP being slowly drained, they had Vampiric effects, and the Vampire's plans were very clear now, he wanted to slowly weaken Nyx, overpowering her with his regeneration and magic so he could defeat her once she had no longer any energy to resist!

Nyx had several passive skills that boosted her self-regeneration and the toughness of her body as well, so she knew she wouldn't go as easy as he wanted… And she had several trump cards she had yet to use as well!

"You're annoying! [Ancient Death Dragon Domain]!"

She flew down into the floor, unleashing a powerful domain that filled her surroundings with darkness and phantasmal energies, further beginning to boost her powers and weaken her foe!

Ding!

[You have activated the [Ancient Death Dragon Domain: Lv8] Skill, a powerful Domain of Death and Darkness has been summoned around your surroundings!]

[The Darkness, Phantasmal, and Draconic Energies being produced are slowly boosting your strength, increasing your Stats by +100% as long as you stay within the Domain, with an additional +1% every second for a max of +500%!]

[Additionally, your HP and MP have begun recovering eight times faster, and your Darkness, Death, Phantom, Shadow, and Dragon Type Skills and Magic Power have increased by an additional +250%, while their MP Cost has reduced by -30%!]

[Duration: 30 Minutes.]

"A Domain?!" The Vampire was shocked. "Hah, even with that, you're nothing!"

The monster rushed towards Nyx without even thinking about it too deeply, instantly noticing something weird, as the System Messages showed him what was happening!

Ding!

[The [Ancient Death Dragon Domain] has begun to negatively affect you as an enemy of the conjurer.]

[All your Stats have decreased by -30% while you step in this Domain, and your HP and MP Regeneration Speed have decreased by half!]

"W-What…?!" He muttered; his countless crimson eyes filled with utter rage!

"RAAAAHHH!"

Nyx quickly rushed forward, swinging her tail against him, and pushing him away several meters, her claws blazing with darkness and phantasmal energies!

"This is for bullying my friend!" She roared. "[Phantasmal Death Claws]!"

Her arms suddenly divided into dozens of gigantic draconic claws, as she activated her [Phantasmal Limbs] Skill, a special ability she inherited from Maria, which was usually unique to only ghosts!

"GRAAAAHHH…!"

The tentacled aberration utilized his tentacles and magic to protect himself and block some of the attacks, yet he found himself thrown into a corner, his tentacles being constantly cut down to pieces faster than he could regenerate them!

"YOU DAMN…!"

He opened his jaws, unleashing a devastating Breath Attack similar to Nyx! Did he copy her ability somehow?!

BOOOMMM!

"UGH…!"

Nyx was forced to step back, prioritizing the protection of Nia and Celes, she used her big wings to protect them like shields, giving an opening for her opponent to strike!

"DON'T YOU EVER THINK YOU CAN COMPARE TO THE GREAT ME!"

The aberration's tentacles suddenly toughened into metallic spears, piercing Nyx's entire body and finally managing to break through her scales, leaving her filled with bleeding holes!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! "AAARRGHH…!"

Nyx was careless, and ended paying the price for that, as she was overwhelmed, thrown into the ground, barely managing to secure Nia and Celes safety by protecting them with her big claws, gasping for air.

"UGH…" Her wounds were not regenerating either, as she stated to vomit blood. "T-That was tougher… than I thought."

"NYX!" Celes saw her friend in such a state, panicking as he ran towards her, trying to heal her wounds.

"DO YOU THINK I'LL LET YOU DO THAT?!"

However, their foe was not done yet, suddenly teleporting behind them through his Shadow Sneak Skill, his countless tentacles rushing down towards Nyx one last time!

"This time, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU BOTH!"

"No…!" Celes cried. "NOOO!"

Tears flowed from his eyes, as his powers erupted, answering his emotions!

SPLAAASH!

A huge tsunami emerged, engulfing their foe!
