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

—–

After I discovered that I was passively using Ghost Touch and even Lesser Curse on my Dark Sphere and Mana Siphon attacks, I readied myself for more battle! There were three groups of three Wisps each, rushing right towards us. One in front, another in the left, and the other at the right… we were cornered! Of course, I was able to easily evade the one that flew directly towards me, although a little one managed to scratch my soul slightly, causing me to lose some HP.

I instantly utilized Mana Siphon on it, and its partners, weakening them through the combination of Lesser Curse added onto it! I had tried using Life Drain, but it doesn’t seem to work on Undead-type monsters. Maybe because they don’t have “life”? Nonetheless, I created three Dark Spheres without wasting a single second, as the three spheres of darkness reached their targets and killed all three of the weakened Wisps in three consecutive explosions!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Right after, the delicious wave of EXP bathed my soul…

Ding! f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

[You’ve gained 60 EXP]

[EXP: [240/500]

We are almost halfway through my next level!

*Rattle!*

My skelly friend, Partner, hurriedly used her Bone Claws to slash through the group of three Wisps that reached her, hitting, and attacking her ribcage. I positioned myself behind her and absorbed their mana right away while she used her sharp bone hands and the Bone Claw Skill, which seems to enhance the sharpness and attack power of her own bone fingers to slash the Wisps! Even if they were non-corporeal, they still take damage from Skills or magic, so they faded away in an instant, giving us some more exp!

Ding!

[You’ve gained 30 EXP]

[EXP: [270/500]

Because she killed them, I got only half of those 60 EXP, resulting in 30 EXP, which was better than nothing to be honest!

The third group of wisps nearby reached us in an instant! The trio suddenly separated from one another, something we had not seen before, as one of them floated far away from us and began to shoot tiny blue flames! Meanwhile, the other two bastards attacked Partner’s legs and made her trip into the ground!

Clash!

“Oi, you bastards!” I roared as I absorbed their Mana right away, while the phantom fire of the one above reached me, burning through my HP.

I fired a Dark Sphere at the one above us beforehand, while Partner’s bone claws took out the two weakened ones!

BOOM!

SLASH! SLASH!

Ding!

[You’ve gained 40 EXP]

[EXP: [310/500]

We are pulling through…

Partner slowly stood up as we seemed to have cleared part of this area. However, some Wisps farther away noticed all the commotion and came flying towards our direction. Upon noticing my tasty soul, they couldn’t help but risk their lives and give it a shot against me. My HP was still not too low, and my Mana had enough for two more shots of Dark Sphere. Partner positioned in front of me as if shielding me while I put myself behind her.

Uwah, we make the perfect team, Partner! I already love you! Who would have thought that my own skeleton would be my best friend?

“WUUUUUH!”

Two groups of wisps rushed towards us, being six in total, all six of them were groaning as if they were the souls of the damned wailing in agony… though, they weren’t really souls, but the overaccumulation of negative emotions smashed into one, creating a phantom-like monster!

The moment they reached us, I released my Mana Siphon over all six of them, while Partner used her bones to shield me, taking the little attacks they released, which were deadly for an exposed soul such as mine, but that didn’t do as much damage to Partner.

As she shielded me, I managed to get enough MP for me to fire a barrage of Dark Spheres!

I call this… Dark Shotgun!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

All six of the Dark Spheres were fired from my body simultaneously. Even without ever having used magic before, Supreme Magic made me a master in the usage of Mana, and my magic became so amazing, it was to the point that I was even able to split my mind while conjuring spells and fire them at different directions simultaneously, with remarkable precision! All six of the wisps died pitifully right away, as we were bathed in more EXP with Partner!

Ding!

[You’ve gained 120 EXP]

[EXP: [430/500]

Three groups were done for, but two more were coming at us! I think these are the last ones… just in time for my evolution!

As they flew at us, they did something weird. All nine of them suddenly began to get together… as if they were fusing! What is this? Is this how Phantasmal Will-o-Wisps are born? But they have not eaten a soul yet! Maybe they saw so many of them dying that they decided to join into a big one?

FLAAASSH!

The nine Wisps merged into a big one, almost reaching two meters in height! I quickly appraised it, finding that it was something completely different…

…

[Will-o-Wisp Legion: Lv 5] [Rank: G+]

A type of Undead-type monster formed by the union of many Will-o-Wisps who were unable to find a soul. Filled with rage and negative emotions, they decide to join hands and become a powerful Wisp in hopes to finally devour a soul with such newly acquired strength.

…

Yikes, alright, this bastard might be a bit stronger…

“WOOOOOHH!”

The large Wisp roared with the sound of many wailing voices as it flew towards us at an impressive speed! Damn, if it manages to clash its big body against us, he’ll easily slurp our souls out!

“Let’s evade!”

FLAAAAASH!

The large Wisp hit the ground with its charge as we managed to just barely jump to the side!

BOOOM!

Seeing it was in the ground, it slowly brought itself up again. But I quickly decided to use Mana Siphon on it right away! As I drained its mana for a few seconds, the Wisp noticed and got quite angry. It formed a fireball made of phantasmal flames and fired it at me!
