Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army! Chapter 21

—–

After evolving, getting divine protection, and all, I finally got to see my new Skills. [Summon] was pretty straightforward. It let summon my subordinates near my position, no matter where they are! Maybe this is what Necromancers use when they make corpses pop up from the ground even when they are not even in graveyards?

But I could quite possibly use it to summon a tad monster I’ve contracted with, or even human subordinates, anything, I guess. It didn’t seem to have any rule or requirent aside from them being subordinates and willing.

And then there is…

…

[Abyssal Body: Lv1]

Grants the user’s body the ability to beco abyssal darkness and shape itself accordingly to your will. It also has the effect of reflecting status effects, mind-related attacks, and any of such powers that a foe tries to ensue over the user. The intensity and power of such effect are increased by leveling the skill up. Grants high affinity with the Dark and Shadow Attributes, enhancing damage dealt and damage resistance by 10% with each level.

…

Oh, this one is perhaps the thing that changed my ghost body to be so dark now… It also enhances my dark and shadow attribute damage even more! And it even bounces back negative effects and the like? Interesting… It’s like an Uno Reverse Card sort of deal! But only at Level 1, it won’t be that strong, I bet.

…

[Shadow Manipulation: Lv1]

Grants the ability to manipulate shadows in the nearby vicinity. Manipulating shadows cost constant mana and can be made solid for a small amount of ti with even more mana. They can be shaped as the user likes, but the mastery over it and the control over the shadows expands as the skill levels up. Dark and Shadow Magic can be used in conjunction for greater results.

…

This was an interesting Skill. Although it consus a lot of Mana, it can be used in a variety of situations… Maybe I could beco shadows and sneak inside the room of a handso man changing clothes, fufu… Wait, I can already do that… Agh! No! I am not a degenerate.

…

[Undead Queen: Lv1]

As an Undead Queen, you have a natural affinity and authority over death and the Undead. The Undead that you create receives an enhancent to their growth speed and evolution options while also receiving a temporal boost to all their capabilities below your command. The power of such effects enhances as the level increases. You can also, and more efficiently, ta Undead you’ve not created.

…

Interesting, with this, Partner can grow even faster! Though, I should really get a new Undead ally… But what could it be? After evolving, I have more than just two slots now. I believe I have a dozen slots for Undead that I can control and forcefully make “loyal” to … Although there’s still a limit, at 20.

“Partner, what friend would you want?”

I asked Partner what she would like to have as a friend this ti around. I glanced at the corpses we had, which were all butchered at this point…

“Well, maybe they won’t be aty, but we can raise a skelly friend, right?”

“Fwend!”

Partner looked at , collecting all the loot that the slis had dropped. There were so equipnt and consumable items mixed into the pile as well.

Ding!

[You’ve acquired the following Items]

[Thunder Sli Earring (F-Grade): Lv3] x4

[Fire Sli Bracelet (F-Grade): Lv4] x3

[Water Sli Core Ring (F-Grade): Lv1] x2

[Multi-Color Sli Core Staff (D-Grade): Lv1] x1

[Mixed Elental Sli Colorful Ooze (F-Grade)] x136

[Mixed Elental Sli Colorful Shattered Cores (F-Grade)] x136

…

There was indeed so valuable loot in here. Slis tend to drop a lot of accessories… But this ti, there was one super rare drop at D-Grade, and it was this beautiful staff with many sli cores encrusted on it, causing it to shine brightly.

I decided to equip everything that I could, which included two earrings, another ring, and two bracelets, alongside the new staff!

And let’s check the stats…

…

[Thunder Sli Earring (F-Grade): Lv3]

20 MP

15 Magic

20 Agility

20 Thunder Attribute Damage

…

[Fire Sli Bracelet (F-Grade): Lv4]

25 MP

20 Magic

10 Agility

10 Attack

20 Fire Attribute Damage

….

[Water Sli Core Ring (F-Grade): Lv1]

10 MP

5 Magic

5 Agility

10 Water Attribute Damage

…

[Multi-Color Sli Core Staff (D-Grade): Lv1]

300 MP

200 Magic

100 Attack

50 Agility

120 All Elental Damage

…

Uwah, D-Grade Equipnt is amazing! And it’s a weapon fitting for my Mage-like role! Although I would like to eventually kick so asses with physical strength soday, this isn’t half-bad! It even cos with 100 Attack, so this staff can hit as hard as a baseball bat if I wanted… Insane.

I already had my black beetle bracelets that gave dark attribute damage, so I decided to leave the remaining bracelets for Partner. In the end, I can only equip two. The others I would equip wouldn’t give any stats, and I knew this because I had tried doing it already. Now let’s check what my actual status with the new buffs looks like…

…

[Na: [Maria Fuentes Belles]

[Race: [Abyssal Ghost Queen]

[Level: [12/20]

[Rank: [D]

[Status: [Strengthened, Cursed]

[HP: [160/160]

[MP: [860/860]{ 520}

[Attack: [86]{ 100}

[Defense: [82]

[Magic: [770]{ 317}

[Agility: [160]{ 125}

…

Pretty good if I say so myself! Already at over 1k MP! With this, I can spam Skills more efficiently, even without the need of siphoning mana, so I don’t have to get so close to my enemy. Also, my Agility is pretty decent, and my Magic is also at 1k!

Magic is an essential stat for as it calculates my damage dealt using Magic attacks and reduces incoming magic damage. No matter how frail they look, the stronger a mage is, the better they are at resisting magic damage… But I would imagine there could be instances where several warriors died calcinated by a giant fireball, but a mage sohow survives even without wearing armor… Such a sight would be pretty hilarious.

After equipping her own earrings, bracelets, and rings, Partner looked very pretty!

“You really look like a cute girl now, Partner!”

“Bweute girl?”

“Yeah! Pat, pat, pat!”

I petted Partner’s head, and after a bit, we decided to continue through the dungeon.
