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

-----

Before the brave Partner and Emeraldine, Belphegor simply laughed, waving his hand as his staff channeled his magical powers and amplified them even further.

"It will be over before you can even realize." Belphegor laughed. "I shall feast on your Hearts after I'm done with you! [Abyssal Void Magic]: [Void Rain]!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Suddenly, hundreds of black dots emerged all around him, they were materializations of the void itself!

"DIE!"

The Void Rain fell down towards the two of them, Emeraldine and Partner quickly started running around, attempting to evade the deadly attacks!

Yet, one managed to get into Partner, because they were literally hundreds!

CLAAASH!

"Urgh?!"

Partner quickly noticed that the Void itself was much more dangerous than she had imagined. A single dot that hit her pierced through her clothes and armor, leaving a deep hole into her very flesh, a piece of her shoulder was gone!

"This power…?! It simply consumed a piece of my body!" Partner thought. "This guy's Void Magic is not something as simple as just explosions, it might manipulate space itself…"

Her wound quickly healed back due to her Vampiric Physique and her super regeneration abilities as a Vampire. However, was Emeraldine the same? She had amazing healing magic, but it was better if she could protect her from harm if possible!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Emeraldine!"

Partner noticed she was holding back the rain of Void Spheres using a barrier of light, but the barrier was already beginning to shatter and disappear, Belphegor's mana devour had the power to destroy complex spells like this as well!

Crack, crack… CRASH!

The barrier shattered into pieces, as Emeraldine desperately summoned several branches and walls of wood, trying a last stand, only for all of them to get filled with countless holes in mere seconds.

"Everything is being destroyed so easily…!" Emeraldine panicked.

"I'm here!" Partner arrived in the last second. "[Black Blood Sea Domain]!"

FLAAASH!

Partner quickly arrived in front of her, as she unleashed her Darkness and Blood Magic, generating a huge wave of Black Blood, the void was simply falling into the water and dissipating!

She shaped this domain into an effective barrier, as Belphegor opened his eyes wide, surprised they found out the weakness of his magic so quickly!

"So liquid masses can't be easily deleted, and due to the mass of the void, it simply ends up deleting a part, but the water itself fills the other deleted area." Said Emeraldine, analyzing it. "Thanks, Partner, I kind of get it now!"

"You do?!" Partner asked in surprise. "O-Oh, yeah, I totally discovered it!" She had actually just done this as a last resort and it ended working better than she could have ever hoped.

"Hmph, well, it's not as if that water of yours can hold back all of this at once though." Belphegor smiled grimly as dozens of magic circles materialized around him. "[Abyssal Void Magic]: [Voidling Summon]!

TRUUMMM…!

The magic circles opened black holes, where strange and aberrant tentacled abominations, with multiple eyes and black color emerged, made completely out of Void Energy!

"GRUAAAHH…!"

"RAAAAHH…!"

"GRYYEEEHH…!"

"Devour their souls, my summons!" Belphegor laughed, as dozens of giant aberrations, each one over ten meters of height, flew towards Emeraldine and Partner!

"Now he's a damn summoner?!" Partner asked angrily.

"Careful, they seem dangerous, they're all S- Rank monsters!" Emeraldine said, pointing her bow at them.

The Voidling quickly started firing beams of Dark Void against the duo, engulfing the landscape on black explosions that could consume everything.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Emeraldine was quickly grabbed by Partner and princess carried as the Vampiress moved at rapid speed, evading the explosions.

"I'll shoot them down!" Emeraldine roared, quickly imbuing her powers into her bow and her physical arrows, made by Maria through her Skills. "[Divine Spiritual Magic Bow Arts]: [Purifying Light Arrow Rain]!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Hundreds of arrows were divided from a single physical arrow, piercing through the bodies of a handful of Voidlings, quickly making their bodies explode into light one after another!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The attack continued almost endlessly and relentlessly. Emeraldine couldn't concentrate properly if she was running, but by being carried by the fast Partner and her Domain Barrier to protect her, it was somehow possible!

"GRAAAH!"

However, the Voidlings kept coming, rushing towards them even as Emeraldine killed many, with beams of void and their slimy tentacles approaching!

"You're not getting any closer, you bastards!" However, Partner was there and even if she held Emeraldine with her hands, it didn't meant she couldn't fight.

"My Voidlings…!" Belphegor muttered. "[Crimson Bone Claws]!"

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, from within her body, two gigantic bone arms emerged, their hands being incredibly big and sharp claws, the bones themselves were completely crimson red and metallic!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

With countless slashing attacks, the metallic claws tore apart the tentacles getting closer to them, while Emeraldine's light arrows blocked the void beams in time! The Voidlings started exploding like balloons one after another as they were struck down by both arrows and sharp claws.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Those claws… Did you always have that power?!" Emeraldine asked in surprise.

"I did, but I've reached some sort of breakthrough with it." Partner smiled confidently. "It used to be a Skill I used when I was a mere Skeleton…!"

Indeed, Partner had been evolving this Bone Claw Skill for a while now, and it had reached the point where no normal vampire could ever have such a power within them.

This was Partner's amazing uniqueness. She wasn't exactly born or turned into a vampire; she was a Skeleton that slowly evolved into one.

This meant she still had many of her skeleton skills, now evolved into even greater and bizarre powers.

And her [Crimson Bone Claws] Skill didn't simply extend to two arms…

Much like with Maria and her own Skills, Partner could imitate some of them amazingly well!

"[Crimson Bone Claws]! [Demonic Ghost Fists]!"

Two other Skills from her former skeleton arsenal were activated, two new pairs of crimson skeleton arms surged from her body, as their fists reached the nearby Voidlings, crushing them with countless crimson phantasmal flames-imbued fist attacks!

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

"My Voidlings are getting slain so easily?!" Belphegor was shocked. "That woman, she's not a normal Vampire!"
