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

-----

Belphegor absorbed the powers of the doppelganger left behind, and even the Void Crystal. His mind had deteriorated seriously after he died and fused the last fragments of his soul with the Void Dimension they created.

Especially because it was so much power, that his mind couldn't handle it, growing berserk and monstrous, without even thinking about he could be ruining the entire plan his Master Maleficus set up for him to begin with!

The debris spiraling across the endless Void kept hitting one another, generating huge explosions as the depths of the Void shaped itself, a gigantic jaw covered on several rings of sharp fangs emerged, rushing towards Maria and her entire party!

"I'LL EAT YOU ALL BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN LEAVE! GAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Drunk on his power, and with his whole brain missing and his mind shattered into pieces and forcefully fused together, Belphegor became a near-mindless monster, laughing manically as his grotesque jaws drew closer.

FLAAASH!

"He's coming! FLY FASTER!" Partner cried, kicking Lucifer's face.

"I'm going as fast as I freaking can!" Lucifer roared back at her angrily. "Stop kicking me!"

"Wait, where's Tear, Takeshi, Laura… and Catarina and Silva?!" Asked Maria, suddenly remembering that they weren't here!

"We saw them before fighting the giant slime guy but…!" Said Fabian. "I thought they would had been with you by now!"

"No, last time I checked my shadow realm didn't had them inside!" Maria panicked. "Shit, shit, shit! Where are you?!"

She quickly expanded her senses across the endless void as they kept running away… Until finally, she saw a huge black wolf zombie leaping from stone to stone floating in the void, running as fast as possible towards them!

"Blackie?! He must be carrying everyone else on his shadow, maybe?! I can sense their presences with him!" Maria muttered.

It was only a few dozen of meters behind the gigantic jaws approaching them! If Maria took even a second longer to get to him, he would get swallowed, and everyone with him would die as well.

"Keep moving as fast as you can, Lucifer!"

Maria quickly leaped out of Lucifer's back, making everyone scream in panic as they saw her leap into the jaws of the monster willingly!

"MARIA?!" Lucifer screamed.

"What are you doing?! WAIT!" Partner screamed.

"She went to pick up Blackie! He must be with everyone else within his shadows, maybe!" Emeraldine said.

"RAAAHAHAHAH! SO YOU'RE COMING TO ME WILLINGLY! I'LL EAT YOU HAPPILY THEN!"

Belphegor celebrated as his gigantic jaws opened larger to swallow Maria into the endless Void that had become his stomach! Maria simply smiled at that, her many powers channeling into her body.

"Don't you think you can ever hope to eat me, fucker!" Maria laughed, her entire Aura erupting into a giantess made of Moonlight, Lightning, and Dark Death Wood!

The giantess rose its countless arms, attacking Belphegor's jaws with countless punches, breaking his fangs, crushing his tongue, and electrifying the interior of his massive maw!

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!

CLAAAASSSHHH!!!

"AARRGGHHH…!"

As he screamed in agony, Maria reached the zombie black wolf, grabbing him by extending her hand several meters and then pulling it back to her!

"WOOF!" Blackie licked her face the moment she dragged him towards her.

"Blackie! Is everyone okay in your shadows?!" Maria cried in panic.

"WOOF!" Blackie seemed to nod, but then started to whine. "Arf…"

"Huh?" Maria didn't understood what he meant and had no time to think about it either!

"Y-YOUUUU! ENOUGH!"

Belphegor's tentacles attacked her Aura, destroying its countless arms one after another, and then gathering Void and Chaos Energy into his jaws, unleashing a devastating beam!

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT EATING YOU ANYMORE! JUST DIE!"

TRUUUM!

The gigantic beam of pure Void and Chaos reached Maria, her eyes shining with bright red light and purple light, the power of her Moonlight Magic being channeled into her hands and Aura, as she moved her hands majestically, summoning a gigantic mirror resembling a full moon, shining brightly with an Aura of Moonlight!

"[Eternal Moon Mirror]"

The mirror absorbed the entire beam as it reached it, and then, it overflowed with even more power, firing it back into Belphegor's face!

"FUCK OFF!"

FLAAASH!

"W-WHAAAT?!"

Belphegor, even in his current state, was incapable of believing what he was just witnessing as the beam he fired at her came right back to him, with several times its original power and charged full of lightning, darkness, moonlight, death, and phantom elements!

BOOOMMM!!!

The huge explosion blew up Belphegor's entire face and reached his Void Stomach, distorting it as the Void Core that maintained his powers gained many more cracks.

RUMBLE!

The entire Void Dimension continued to shake endlessly, countless cracks and holes appearing everywhere. Belphegor's scream continued as Maria grabbed Blackie and flew back to Lucifer as fast as she could, channeling her Mana into enhancing her Speed through her Aura as much as she could.

Aura was an expression of a person's Magic Power and Soul, and it had the innate power to enhance their abilities, this naturally included Physical Strength, Magical Power, Defense, and also Agility and Speed!

FLAAASH!

"GRAAAAAGGGGHHH! RAAARRRGGHH!"

Belphegor kept screaming as Maria continued flying, resembling a bullet traveling through the endless void. His entire body did not give in though, most of the holes created on his body beginning to close rapidly, one after another.

"You're not getting away…! I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAYYY!!!"

Larger and larger tentacles kept popping up from all around Maria, constantly attempting to catch her and smack her with everything they had. She moved from one place to another, evading while zigzagging around them.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

"Shit… Almost there…!"

Maria kept running and flying, until she finally caught up to Lucifer and everyone else, extending her hand and grabbing his tail, quickly springing back to his back!

"I'm back! Argh, it's already here!" Maria cried. "Hurry, Lucifer!"

"I-I'm doing the best I can!" Lucifer roared.

"Then let me help you with that!" Maria's Divine Thunder Body Ego emerged out of her body and fused with Lucifer, giving him the power of Divine Lightning she took from devouring Thor's Divine Spirit.

FLUOSH!

"T-This…?!" Lucifer was shocked to receive and feel this power again since the last time Maria did it, when the Dwarven Kingdom was being invaded by the armies of the Frost Queen. "With this…! I sure can!"

TRUUUMMM…!

Lucifer pierced through the void, emerging in the clear skies above Sapphire Temple!
