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

884 Maria's Way Of Healing

-----

The bastard who had taken over Violet's body had his soul destroyed, and both Maria and Lucifer quickly landed on the floor, exhausted.

"Hahhh…"

"Ugh…"

The two quickly sighed in relief, as Lucifer and Maria went back to their former appearances quite quickly.

"We did it!" Maria said. "Well done! I know you did your best."

"Hahh… I don't need that pity of yours." Lucifer sighed. "But… thanks for coming to help."

"Don't be so prideful!" Giggled Maria. "Now… What do we do with this?"

The two felt awkward as they saw the corpse of their foe, and the lying soul fragments everywhere… Jonathan quickly made their way to them.

"Hahh… H-He's gone, good… Ugh.."

He quickly fell into the floor.

"Jonathan!" Maria panicked, opening her inventory, and taking several Elixirs. "Here, drink! Drink!"

"Ugh… Glugh, glugh…" Jonathan was stuffed with Elixirs Maria and Emeraldine had created, quickly healing him before he were to fully collapse. "Hahh… T-Thank you Maria, you're truly an angel."

"Hahaha…" Maria giggled a bit, feeling embarrassed. "Thanks for helping Lucifer!"

"No problem. He is my comrade, even if he's a bit grumpy sometimes." Jonathan smiled gently back at Lucifer.

That pure smile filled with light made Lucifer recoil…

"Anyways…" Lucifer sighed. "This body is… well, it is from Crystal's cousin, Violet. Maria, is it possible for you to… gather her soul back from the fragments of that bastard? He said that he ate her soul and…"

"Hmm…" Maria started to think. "Yeah, when souls are eaten by another, there's a possibility the other soul still remains within the other, but very deluded… I think I can do something if I filter it."

"Filter it?" Asked Lucifer. "Well, whatever you can do, please… If there's any chance…"

"Sure, leave it to me." Maria nodded.

She quickly gathered all the Soul Fragments and… ate them.

"CHOMP…"

Lucifer and Jonathan panicked immediately as they saw Maria munch on the fragments, her cheeks looking like the full cheeks of a hamster!

"W-What are you doing?!" Lucifer screamed.

"Maria?" Jonathan asked in disbelief.

"GULP…" She swallowed the soul after that, making them even more horrified. "Geez! Calm down a bit! My entire body is like the filter! Just trust me."

Maria slowly started wiggling her entire body, as she started concentrating on the soul fragments she devoured, beginning to divide what was there at an almost molecular level of precision.

"There's a lot of this disgusting guy's soul and memories, I'm going to just delete everything belonging to him and his rotten personality… But the power and substance, let's keep that…" Maria nodded. "There are other monsters too, but they don't have any intelligence- Ah! Several sparks of thoughts appeared, she's there… fragmented, but she's there!"

Although it seemed slow to her, in real life she was doing this at an incredibly fast speed, in a couple of minutes, the soul was completely reformed, as she quickly opened a hole in her chest and let it move outside!

FLUOSH!

"It's done!" She celebrated. "Now… I'll have to repair the body a bit, no?"

Maria used her abilities to quickly rearrange the dragon's body and shape, taking the excess chimeric parts and refining their shape and form to look more like the original appearance.

She remolded the entire face and healed it to almost the same as before, but lacking eyes, she could add some monster eyes, but because Lucifer wanted Violet restored with little changes, she decided to think about it later.

"Phew, it's done." Maria sighed, three minutes after beginning. "Let's give it a shot, and quickly, we have to find Nyx and everyone else!"

"Right, sorry for being so selfish, thinking about this instead of our daughter…" Lucifer apologized.

"It's fine, she must have been an important family member to you." Maria smiled. "Alright…! Soul Infusion!"

The body still had a lot of life force, so with that and the soul infused into it, Maria attempted to revive the corpse instead of making an Undead.

FLAAASH!

And it seemed to have worked, somehow!

"GRRRHHH…"

The gigantic, purple-scaled dragoness slowly started to move, lacking sight, it seemed confused. And when it tried to speak, it could only release dry groans that couldn't be understood.

"Violet! Violet, are you okay?"

Lucifer asked the dragoness, but the creature could not even remember his voice, suddenly swinging its dragon claws against him angrily.

CRAAASH!

"Ugh…!"

Lucifer was forced to step back, looking at Violet's violent onslaught, she didn't seem the same as before, going on a furious animalistic rampage.

"GROOOAARRR!"

"Is she okay?!" Asked Jonathan.

"Not at all. Well, she revived so she's not an undead, but she must be in a very traumatic state. Sorry Lucifer…" Maria said. "We can't do much other than let her rest."

"It's fine…" Lucifer sighed. "It's better than her being dead… At the very least, we've saved her from becoming the vessel of a monster."

"Yeah, I'll put her to sleep for now." Maria nodded, quickly waving her hand. "[Sleeping Mist]"

She released a mist mixing phantasmal and illusion elemental magic, which filled Violet's nostrils and quickly made her fall asleep, it was especially effective against those that weren't good in the head and incapable of resisting the sleeping effects too well.

After placing her in her Shadow Realm, she quickly got ready, giving some food to her husband and former fiancée, and quickly preparing herself to move on.

"Alright, the fight itself created a disturbance over the northwest." Said Maria, pointing at the distance. "If we get there and breakthrough the Void Wall, we can move to a different zone."

"I'll bring you there, leap over my back." Lucifer turned back into his dragon form. "You too." He glared at Jonathan.

"Thanks." Jonathan had not tried to get up his back because he thought it was rude, but if he was given permission by Lucifer himself, he happily obliged.

"Hoh?" Maria smiled teasingly. "Have you two become a bit closer? Are you bros now? Is bromance blooming?" She giggled.

"Shut up!" Lucifer roared angrily.

"Hahaha." Jonathan only laughed slightly nervously.

"I guess they still got a long way to go…" Maria thought, smiling.

FLASH!

The trio flew across the void, as Maria and Lucifer shattered the walls, reaching somewhere else!

CRAAASH!
