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

-----

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The incredibly fast two-headed Drake moved from one place to another, evading Partner and Nia's attacks with ease.

It left deadly flames behind, which caused explosions due to the friction of its moving legs. Partner and Nia had to constantly step back and try to analyze the movement of the beast.

FLAAASH!

"ROOOAARR!"

However, in the moment they escaped from a barrage of flames, the monster flashed through, appearing right behind Celes, opening its massive jaws and releasing a giant breath attack.

"CELES!"

"[Divine Spirit Magic]: [Divine Spiritual Holy Light Shield]!"

Nia flew as fast as she could towards her son, but Emeraldine swiftly protected him, generating a barrier of Holy Spiritual Light from her entire body, exuded from her own Aura.

Her two Divine Spirits fused into her body to give her such a power.

BOOOOMMMM!!!

The shield made of light easily blocked the explosive breath attack, while Celes didn't run away, the little boy bravely pointing his hands at the creature.

"You're too fast! Slow down!"

With an angry roar, the little boy's eyes shone with a divine blue light, his Aura of Spiritual Divinity surged like an endless sea wave!

There was no name to this Divine Spell, but it was so intimidating the Volcanic Drake swiftly attempted to avoid it!

SPLAAAAASSHHH!!!

However, the attack covered such a huge range that it ended catching up to the Drake, covering it with Divine Spiritual Water, which moved like a slime, wrapping around its body and making it way harder for the monster to run as fast as it wanted.

Partner and Nia quickly took advantage of the slowed down foe, attacking its head with their strongest techniques.

Partner's twin spear overflowed with both Darkness and Blood Energy, the very end of the spears harnessing a purely dark power, Void Essence itself, coming right out of the necklace Maria gifted to her.

"[Demonic Blood Spear Arts]: [Dimension-Piercing Black Blood Void Spear]!"

Her two spears temporarily combined into a titanic black spear, overflowing with her Aura and combined Abilities, it pierced the Drake's left eye, leaving a huge hole through its face!

CRAAAAAASSSHHH!!!

The Volcanic Drake agonized, quickly beginning to release flames from its body, boiling the water Celes made and beginning to evaporate it out of its body!

"SHYAAAARRRGGH!"

At the same time, it resentfully released a deadly blast of flames against Partner, rushing towards her in just a split of a second.

An attack of this magnitude at point blank was bound to hurt horrendously.

However!

"[Windstorm Magic Spear Arts]: [Thunder Bird Spear]!"

The roar of a mighty Thunder Bird echoed with her attack, as Nia showcased how much she has progressed, fusing her Wind Magic with her Armor, Spear, and Necklace powers together!

Her spear flashed through the empty air releasing sparks of electricity in the shape of a titanic bird, clashing against the Volcanic Drake's open jaws!

BOOOOOMMMM!!

The explosion of winds and thunder was strong enough to burn through the Drake's jaws and force it to vomit a mouthful of blood, although it freed itself from Celes' magic, it was now even more severely weakened.

"SHAAAAHHH!!!"

However, an S Rank Monster was still an S Rank Monster.

With frustration and fury, the monstrous creature quickly leaped back to make some distance from them.

Its giant claws swung against them, releasing explosive slashing waves of draconic flames, which Partner, Nia, and Celes continuously blocked with their attacks.

However, the Drake was unaware of Seven Colorful Arrows which were fired by Emeraldine just some minutes ago, descending into its body one after another!

"[Yggdrasil's Nine Divine Worlds]"

The arrows overflowed with different colors and elements, bombarding the S Ranked Monster, each explosion leaving a massive wound that wouldn't regenerate at all.

BOOOMM!! BOOOMM!! BOOOMM!! BOOOMM!! BOOOMM!! BOOOMM!! BOOOMM!!

"GRYYAAAEERRGH!"

The monster struggled, falling on the ground and beginning to attempt to escape as the seven arrows pierced its body, covered on terrible wounds.

However, the other trio stopped its path, the monster swung its claws against them, big enough to destroy half of a city!

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!

Partner and Nia clashed against the claws while Celes gathered his Water Magic into a gigantic trident, which he swiftly fired at the monster.

"Big Trident!"

FLAAAASH!

The trident flashed through the wind, hitting the Volcanic Drake's head a second time, making the beast scream in agony and step back.

BOOOOMMM!!

On its fury and agony, its entire body was set ablaze, releasing countless shockwaves of flames everywhere!

TRUUUUMMMM…!!!

"Oh no, you won't!"

Partner rushed forwards, while Nia and Celes coordinated their magic, creating a path for the Vampiress to get through, all while Emeraldine's arrows rained down!

"RAAAH!"

With a mighty roar, Partner pierced the monster's body several times consecutively, while Emeraldine's arrows bombarded it.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"SHYAAARRRRGGH!"

The speedster Volcanic Drake gave one last attempt at defeating them, swinging its claws… Only for them to fail their attack and as its entire body went limp, the huge arm dropping coldly on the ground.

BAAAAMMM!!!

"W-We did it?" Celes wondered, shocked.

He quickly felt his boy growing stronger, it felt as if his entire body went through an invisible membrane several times.

This was how it felt for someone to level up many times at the same time, and break through his level cap a lot too.

"M-My stats increased a lot, mama!"

"Mine too…"

Nia felt also surprised, glancing at her own hands.

Even with the equipment Maria gave to them, she still displayed an amazing amount of strength and magic power.

"Well done, you two." Emeraldine congratulated them with a gentle smile. "This one was fast and strong… It will give us a lot of good meat as well."

"Wouldn't it be better to turn it into an undead?" Asked Partner. "Oh, maybe just a skeleton with scales would be alright! Yeah, let's eat the meat later!"

"Haha…" Emeraldine realized something. "I think Maria might have infected me with her gluttonous behavior… I didn't use to think of eating whatever I hunted!"

As she gasped at this realization, in another side of the battlefield, Lucifer and his group clashed against the gigantic, armored Volcanic Drake.

Its impenetrable armor was becoming more of an issue that they originally thought…
