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

876 Incredible Teamwork!

-----

The Vampiress' clone army emerged from the shadows, attacking Laura's barriers of frost, the clones ganging on it and constantly attacking it, countless cracks spreading through it already!

"Dammit, this bitch can't even take a rest for a bit?!" Laura thought, quickly gathering her explosive fire magic around her hands, and merging it with her chaos magic. "I might be quite fragile compared to Takeshi or Tear, but my magics pretty damn explosive!"

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

She touched the barriers willingly, exploding them one after another, the explosions easily blowing up a dozen clones, as she started gathering more blazing explosive flames around her, combining them together and forming a giant creature behind her back!

"What is that?!" The Vampiress muttered.

"Say hi to my buddy!" Laura smiled almost maniacally. "[Abyssal Chaos Explosion Demon Summon]!"

FLUOSH!

"GRUOOOHHHHH…!"

The gigantic being, made out of explosive black, red, and purple flames materialized around her, as huge as twenty meters, its very presence seemed overwhelming!

"[Explosive Demon Claws]!"

"RAAAAH!"

Without even waiting for a response from her malefic attacker, Laura unleashed a barrage of claw attacks, blowing up many clones, the power of her special Explosion Demon Summon was that she could unleash explosions farther away and with strong physical might added into it!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

She barely bought enough time for Tear and Takeshi to get close to her, only for the Vampiress to emerge behind her once more, sneaking on her through her Shadow Sneak Skill, a very common skill among Vampires. Laura's demon was too busy dealing with all the clones!

"You're dead, BRAT!" The Vampiress roared, half her face was burned and had yet to regenerate. "[Dark Assassination Arts]: [Armor Breaker]! [Heart Piercer]!"

Her only dagger suddenly gathered blood and dark energies, clashing against Laura's armor, and shattering it with a single, mighty blow!

Crack, crack…. CRAAASH!

However, that wasn't all, as she swiftly moved her dagger towards the girl's heart, attempting to pierce it and kill her with a single hit!

"You weak mortals die so easily with this!"

SLAAASH!

"GUH…?!" Laura vomited a mouthful of blood, her sharp red eyes glaring at the woman in front of her with utter hate and frustration!

"Heh! Serves you right!" The Vampiress laughed… However, Laura simply smiled, showing the Vampiress her sharp fangs… And then touching her clothes.

"You know that my heart is not there, right?" Laura laughed. "I'm a chimera…"

"Huh?!"

BOOOMMM!!!

Laura detonated the Vampiress blouse and her armor into pieces, blowing her away as flames took over her entire body!

Her body rolled over the ground, as she constantly screamed in agony!

"GRYYYAAAAHHH! MY BODY! IT BURNS SO MUCH!"

She desperately started tearing apart her burning clothes as Laura fell to her knees again, Tear and Takeshi catching up with her as they demolished the clones rushing towards them.

"You reckless girl, did you do that again?!" Tear was about to cry in frustration.

"Don't worry, I can heal a wound like this easily." Laura imbued Miasmic Energies into her chest, the wound stitching itself together. "After all, those clones got a lot of miasma we can absorb."

"You're right!" Takeshi nodded.

"We should finish her off while we can though, hurry!" Tear said, leading the trio towards the struggling Vampiress.

"Not a single STEP!!!"

However, the Vampiress revealed her true powers… and form as the countless of clones emerging from her Miasmic Aura started to meld into a black liquid, fusing with her body!

TRUUUMMM…!

Her appearance quickly changed, resembling a hue black wolf, with four crimson-colored eyes and a long, sharp tail. Her size over three meters, yet the power she emanated was otherworldly!

"You've pushed me this far; I have to recognize your efforts…" She laughed, showing her sharp fangs. "But it'll only last for this long! I'll tear your flesh apart! GRAAAH!!"

FLAAASH!

With a speed the trio didn't expect, the black wolf reached them, moving across the endless shadows of this dark space, appearing around them, constantly moving around, trying to make confuse them!

"RAAAHH!"

Suddenly, after disappearing once, she reappeared through the shadows, her gigantic jaw reaching Tear's leg, and strongly biting through it!

CRAAASH!

"URGH?!" Tear groaned in agony, but quickly gritted her teeth, gathering her freezing powers into her fists. "Don't think you can just do that easily!"

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

Three powerful punches hit the wolf, as she quickly escaped, only for her aura to expand, countless wolf-like heads appearing around them!

"And don't think I can just bite!"

Each jaw fired powerful beams of darkness against them, constantly appearing and disappearing! Tear and Takeshi lifted barriers of ice and oceanic water, defending the trio while Laura was constantly gathering her powers into her Demon, who frantically crushed the heads one after another!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! "I wonder… Who's the real one~"

The wolf laughed, suddenly emerging from above! Laura quickly targeted her, firing a huge fireball into her face!

BOOOMMM!!!

However, the wolf disappeared, revealing another jaw right below her, trying to bite her leg off with a single bite, something that it couldn't do with Tear as she was a physically strong Ice Giant, but totally possible for Laura's much smaller and weaker body!

"YOU!"

Takeshi noticed it earlier, his fishing rod wrapping around the wolf's jaws seconds before it could snap his sister's leg, and then cutting the wolf into pieces!

BOOOMMM!!!

"Another dummy?!"

As Takeshi said that three more jaws appeared, one biting Tear's right arm, which she pulverized with a frost fist, the second reached Takeshi, biting his fishing rod and dragging him into the floor, and the third… targeted Laura, the one the Vampiress hated the most, appearing right beneath her, trying to devour her completely!

"RAAAAH!"

"Of course you'll target me, you hate me after all."

However, Laura, in that very moment, dropped a dozen stones she had touched beforehand, which she had saved in her pocket as "pocket bombs"!

"GULP?! GUH…?!"

The Vampiress realized too late what she ended swallowing her, seconds before her entire body…

"Y-YOU DAMN…!"

BOOOMMM!

With an agonizing shriek, she was torn to pieces, blowing up from the inside out!

The trio was left paralyzed after the sudden death of the headache-inducing vampire woman, dropping into the floor, and sighing in relief.

"Hahhh… Laura, you really earned yourself a trophy, well done." Takeshi laughed.

"You were amazing, yeah…" Tear said.

"I wouldn't had been able to get this far without your help…" Laura smiled. "Now… where the heck are we?!"

The trio quickly stood back up, their wounds healing with their advanced magic spells they had learned from Emeraldine, who taught them all how to create diverse spells by magic circle and rune creation.

Even frost spells that could heal ice giants existed, and Takeshi and Laura were able to heal their wounds with the leftover miasma in the surroundings.

"I think we're trapped in some sort of… domain, a dimension or something." Tear said. "It is dangerous… But we need to break out of this, somehow…" She sighed, caressing her necklace's jewel, Veredorr's Soul Crystal, which she did whenever she felt nervous.

"I can sense the connections, rivers of miasma, chaos, and void connecting into a pseudo dimensional barrier…" Laura said, touching something invisible. "Takeshi, help me break this too."

"Alright!" Takeshi nodded.

"Wait, you have to just break it?!" Tear was shocked, seconds before…

CRAAASH!
