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

-----

The next day came within the blink of an eye, as we were already ready to depart back to the Dwarven Country. I had left several high ranked Undead watching around the entire walls, and in case of an emergency, the Phantom Doppelganger I left here will summon me and everyone else right away. It is something I was able to finally perform now that I've grown strong enough. It effectively works like teleportation now.

I've always been able to teleport those deemed as my "servants" right in front of me through the Summon Skill, but I wasn't able to perform it with Phantom Familiars, however, now that my soul has grown so big I created a Phantom Doppelganger, a single one though, which can use Summon effectively, being able to teleport us all back home if an emergency occurs so we can deal with everything effectively.

The plan is to actually create more of these Phantom Doppelgangers and leave them all over the world so we can freely teleport anywhere we want, but that seems to be quite impossible right now. The amount of Phantom Doppelgangers I can make is based in my Aether stats at the end, Phantom Familiars, although sometimes take my same appearance and share my mind, are effectively not really "me" in a way and cannot do such things.

But Phantom Doppelgangers can. I managed to figure out a way thanks to experimenting with my own Soul and my ability to divide my soul and phantom into fragments with each one sharing my mind like a hivemind. Took me quite a while, but I kind of figured out a way to do this.

The dwarves decided to come with us in this trip as well. And because leaving Nyx here would be impossible with how much she's attached to us; we can only bring her along. She has such high stats that I am fairly sure she can just right even inside a dungeon filled with monsters. We have yet to see her dragon form to begin with, but I am sure it is quite amazing.

Lucifer said this was a good opportunity to teach her how to hunt and all. So she can get accustomed to hunt for herself and take down prey to eat. And also this is an opportunity for her to get some level ups and all, she's still a newbie in all of that, despite coming packed with skills and high stats. I doubt she'll have much of a hard time.

"Take care!" The Goblin Chief said.

"Yeah, please take care!" Gofumin waved her hand.

The twins, Takeshi, and Laura, who were also coming with us again, said their goodbyes to their friends Gofumin and the other kids.

"I'll bring you something Gofumin!" Takeshi said.

"Yeah, we'll bring sweets and other stuff!" Laura said.

Gofumin was asking me while in tears some hours ago to come with us, she really wanted to explore the outside world, but her father was not sure about that and wanted her close to him. As he was designed to protect the entire village, he couldn't leave her alone.

"Be careful over there please, Lady Maria." Syllis asked while feeling slightly concerned of my recklessness. His appearance has changed.

Although he still had a beautiful feminine face, his body had grown from being sleek and thin, and he had grown muscles over his intense training coupled with his recent evolution. All Rabbit-kin evolved into Horned Rabbit-kin, now gaining sharp horns over their heads and stronger physiques.

"Sure, sure, you keep the village well protected, Syllis. Also keep at bay the monster population in the wilderness." I commanded.

"Very well."

Like that, we quickly left once more, after a week of spending it back home, we moved back to the dwarven country for obvious reasons. Mining the necessary ores, purchasing materials, maintaining the dungeon we conquered, and also helping with Helga's guild, our guild, and everything else. Also to complete that Miasma-filled dungeon, which is a latent danger in that peaceful country.

FLAAAASH!

As we flew across the skies, the dwarves gave me a new pickaxe.

"Here's your pickaxe by the way, Lady Maria." Baldur said.

"This pickaxe was made with our finest products, make sure not to break it this time." Balladur said.

"It was specially designed to adapt to your monstrous strength." Darfu said.

"Ooh!"

The Pickaxe was pure black, with a big red jewel on top of it. The pointy end resembled a sharp hook that could easily slice through anything. And its whole composition seemed to be overflowing with Mana. This pickaxe is more like a deadly weapon now…

"What… is this thing? You guys have really overdone it now!"

The moment I saw the demonic pickaxe, I felt like I was about to pass out. Each one of its abilities was more insane than the other…
