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

-----

I want to prioritize their safety first, so I better make some armor. I decided to make some full-body armor for everyone, just a single prototype would be enough, as I would then mass produce them using the Alchemy Recipe Book, which allows me to register items I make to instantly create them by using the materials they need.

I decided to make some armor using a myriad of materials I had in enormous quantities, choosing the ones of the highest qualities.

I used the black bones I can create with my Bone Weapon and Armor Production Skill, I decided to add Moonlight Crystals, a Void Crystal, and also White Silver, Magical Gold, and of course, my unique metals, Umbratite Ore, and Venom Black Draconitite.

I decided to first use my own shadows as the pillar for this material, as I used Shadow Sculping Arts to transform my shadows into a full body armor, which would be fitting for most of the newbies.

Of course, I decided to quickly imbue it with size changing and adjusting runes, defense enhancement runes, magic defense enhancement runes, and movement speed runes.

There was a limit of how many runes I can imbue into a piece of equipment before it explodes due to the quantity added, and the limit right now is around five runes, so it isn't that hard.

And about the Runes themselves, they were quite easy to create. Each Rune had a different symbol for the most basic of effects.

To create more complex Runes, you simply had to combine the symbols together into more intricate designs that held the meaning together.

In a way, it was quite fun, like building new words!

And using Shadow Sculping Arts ended being surprisingly easy and nice. It felts as if my shadows are really like clay.

And I can shape it however I want!

There were so many possibilities! However, I stuck to a simple and nice design, and then, using this design as the base, I smelted the metals and with Alchemy, I controlled them and fused them into the Shadow Armor I created.

The Metals covered the Shadow Armor and then merged with it, taking a blackish color, which, after I made hotter with my furnace and phantasmal flames, became of a clear silver color, with a slightly darker shade.

I didn't want them to bring too much attention, so I added some Stealth Runes, so the armor doesn't bring attention to the wearers.

Because it was a Set with many pieces on it, I was able to imbue a few additional Runes, but not too many for now.

Once all parts took shape and cooled down with my phantasmal flames, which were extremely cold. I imbued into them Souls through Soul Binding Alchemy.

The Souls I imbued into the armor were the souls of the Salt Crystal golems everyone was hunting right now.

While finishing off the armor and polishing it, I was also doing another two things as well, using my Asura Phantasmal Hands and my Divided Ego Bodies.

One was finishing off a black-colored spear, imbuing it with the Divine Lightning of the Divine Thunder Body, and covering the handle with Divine Spirit Wood, courtesy of Emeraldine.

The other item I was making was a necklace. The chain was made using the combination of the metals I used for the armor, with the center made out of my Shadow Threads which I sculpted with Shadow Sculping Arts for greater quality and stats.

Lastly, for the decorations, I used the fangs of several Frost Monsters, and a big jewel, born from combining several monster crystal cores and spirit stones, with tiny fragments of moonlight and void crystals to top it off.

Naturally, I also imbued them with Souls through Soul Binding Arts, for extra stats and also the possibility to turn these pieces of equipment into Living Weapons and Living Armors, gaining the ability to evolve and grow stronger.

And for the last step, I put them down into the Alchemy Cauldron and Double synthetized them to make sure all materials could be perfectly combined!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

All three of my prototypes for mass production appeared, the glorious armor, the amazing spear, and the beautiful necklace. And while that happened, I was already working on making a shield too.

Ding!

[You have Synthetized [Abyssal Silver Bone Warrior King Armor Set (A+++ Grade)] x1!]

[You have Synthetized [Black Thunder-Branded Ghoul Spear (A+++ Grade)] x1!]

[You have Synthetized [Spiritual Void Necklace of the Abyssal Moon (A+++ Grade)] x1!]

[You gained +30.000 Skill Proficiency.]

[You gained +3.000.000 EXP.]

[You cannot Level Up after hitting Max Level. Earned EXP has been accumulated.]

"There they are!" I said happily. "Alright, mass producing time!"

Ding!

[You've registered the [Abyssal Silver Bone Warrior King Armor Set (A+++ Grade)] [Black Thunder-Branded Ghoul Spear (A+++ Grade)] and [Spiritual Void Necklace of the Abyssal Moon (A+++ Grade)] Recipes inside of your [Apprentice Alchemist Recipe Book] Skill!]

[You can now automatically produce these items by administrating the required Materials.]

[Additionally, you can now replace some materials with similar ones, although the stats of the equipment might be reduced.]

"Mass production!"

I quickly offered all the materials again, souls included, and even the tiny pieces of moonlight and void crystals for the necklaces.

I didn't have to craft that many, just enough for those that still didn't have their own armor, weapons, or accessories.

So, I crafted for Nia, Celes, Fabian, Silva, Spectra, Nick, Beery, Garon, Catarina, Laura, Takeshi, and Tear. For the later, I only made them the necklace and the armor, as they preferred fighting otherwise.

POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF!

The items kept spawning one after another, consuming even the souls I offered to make them soul-bind, even the runs were perfectly replicated as long as I imbued enough Mana to make them again.

This was insane power… Despite how lame the Skill sounds, it has an incredible Ability like nothing else! With this, and enough materials, I might even be able to armor up my whole army of humanoid Undead that could wear equipment.

Heheh!
