Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!
Chapter 554 Cutting Down A Whole Forest With A Single Slash-----
"What? Err… no thanks…" Said Takeshi, without feeling like eating rats.
"But don't we eat rat meat all the time back home kids?" I asked.
"Yeah but those are specially raised!" Takeshi said while sighing. "I also don't like raw food…"
"Weren't you Japanese?" Asked Laura.
"Maybe but… I just don't want to eat a whole rat…" Sighed Takeshi.
"She seems okay even by eating all of that crap. I don't think we'll be any worse than her, but sure…" Laura said. "Is this because she got the stomach of a dragon?"
"Yes children." Said Brunhild. "Dragons can digest almost anything. We eat ores for an example, so it is obvious that our stomachs are the most resilient there are. Getting stomachache is near impossible."
So dragons got that Phantasmal Stomach effect I have… I suppose. Though I wonder if they poop metal if they eat too much ore- Wait I really shouldn't be wondering that to be honest.
Hours went by as we enjoyed a simplistic day filled with hard work, when we finally realized it. Over a kilometer was plowed, and it would continue to expand as the Skeleton Farmers continue their charge through the land to plow it all.
As the day was coming to an end, the sun of the dungeon slowly faded into the horizon, and the beautiful full moon appeared. Even small specks of stars. If you raised someone here and never told them this was a dungeon I bet they would just think this was the entire world there was.
"Woah, we really did this in just a day?" Partner wondered.
"Indeed, it was quite a harsh day but I got to train my muscles doing something more entertaining." Lucifer said.
"I never thought this Farming thing tiny people did was so complex…" Brunhild wondered. "It was quite entertaining. I was able to relax and all."
"Yep, thanks a lot for your work guys." I sighed in relief.
"We are not done here though." Emeraldine said to me. "Spirits…"
Suddenly, her two spirits emerged out of thin air, traveling around her body and then, landing over the soil in the land. Several magical runes activated, alongside many magic circles. They all activated together, almost at the same time.
Golden and green light emerged from them, spreading everywhere beautifully. The light contained the purest essence of life and nature, which was quickly imbued into the dungeon's soil and plants of this floor. Spreading all across the plowed land, Emeraldine did an amazing magic circle to spread so further!
FLAAASH!
The light was absorbed by the land in front of us, as it shone brightly with spiritual essence. But then, it quickly was completely absorbed by the soil, as if nothing was there to begin with. I felt within my authority as the dungeon master that something was suddenly imbued into the dungeon's structure… did Emeraldine's magic somehow changed it?
"That was amazing elf lass!"
"Incredible!"
"You're really an amazing magician!"
"That magic just now… will it make the crops grow faster?"
"Yeah it will." Emeraldine said with a calm smile.
"Thanks for your help." I said to her, hugging her.
"E-Eh? But it was just a little thing…" She sighed.
"I saw you the entire day spending doing that magic circle so it surely took you time. Also your entire mana's drained! Don't lie to me." I sighed.
"Sigh… Right, I suppose I am quite exhausted after everything." Said Emeraldine, her bright eyes looked into my own. "This is the least I could do. This food won't only be for the dwarves but for our village as well, it will feed ourselves and our family, and children too."
"Hm, you're right- Wait you want a child?!" I asked.
"Ahaha, I meant the twins and Nyx." Laughed Emeraldine.
"O-Oh, okay…"
Although I don't have any idea how I could have a kid with her… So we better just not get into this territory. As a ghost I probably lack any reproductive abilities. The way Nyx is my daughter is only because I gave her my essence and even a part of my soul while in her egg, but I guess it was a one-time event.
I kind of want more kids, one for each of my lovers… so they can be happy too having a descendant. Perhaps I'll find a way eventually, this world got a lot of mysteries and magic everywhere. We could find something; I don't have to lose hope.
"Anyways! Now that we are done here, it would be good if you guys went back home for now. I'll send a Phantom Familiar with you guys." I said.
"Eh? You're not coming back?" Asked Helga.
"Nope, we've got a few little things to do first." I said. "Don't you worry!"
"Okay then, wish you luck!"
Like that, the dwarves left and we were left to our own devices. Without waiting a single second we reached the second floor and I quickly summoned a hundred more skeleton undead which were rather weak for fighting, but good for labor.
"This place's so beautiful, a lush jungle… We should keep it as it is- AAAH?!"
CLAAASH!
However, a Skeleton quickly used a bone hatchet to cut through one of the enormous trees, slowly making it fall.
BAAAM!
I quickly stored the tree inside my Inventory to clean the place right away.
"Hm? What?" I wondered.
"T-That's… isn't one floor enough?" Wondered Lucifer.
"Yeah, do you have to cut these beautiful trees?" Asked Brunhild.
"Of course I have, this place is also for farming and harvesting food! There's no way we are wasting this place. It is very fertile. Look at all the nutrients in the soil! Usually when there's so many trees and a lush jungle, the soil is very rich!" I said happily, beginning to cut down threes using my enormous axe.
"Barbaric Dark Axe Arts: [Mountain Slice]!"
I unleashed a powerful Barbaric Dark Axe Arts, the evolution of my Strong Axe Strike Skill as I unleashed the powerful Art that was included within the Skill, generating a monstrous, slicing slash of pure darkness that devastated almost a hundred trees in just a single second.
I am the catastrophe of the forest!
