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



-----

"W-What?!" The Vampiress wearing a mask looked at what had happened on the second floor of the tower. Her face was filled with utter shock. "T-They managed to kill them so fast?! And they even freed their Origins…"

"Hmph, you're more useless than I imagined, Vampiress." Said a gigantic scaled behemoth at the side of the Frost Queen.

"Did you seriously thought that such feeble, weak foes that constantly die would even be able to stop them?" Sighed the second scaled behemoth. "You Vampires have always lacked the ability to recognize your enemy's strength. Always looking down on them and underestimating them because you can't bring yourselves to accept another person's talents."

"This is why you Vampires are at the border of extinction, and why you're also soon to be defeated eventually." Laughed the other.

"Hoh? And you abandoned puppies are saying that?" Laughed the Vampiress. "You're Divine Dragons, an even rarer race, now almost completely forgotten." 

"Unlike you, we dragons stay united." They said. "And unlike you, we recognize our foe's strength and talents… And go all-out from the start."

"You two… are you sure about this?" The Frost Queen asked. "We can confront them together."

"No, we'll go by ourselves." One of them said. "We'll put a stop to them before they can reach you, my queen."

"My Queen, you must stay here and see as we crush them…" Said the second. "They don't even deserve to see your face."

The Frost Queen sighed, devoid of the emotions these two dragons had for her. After having been abandoned by their master, they stayed alone for thousands of years, until she appeared and freed them. Naturally, they had an incredibly high amount of gratitude for her and everything she did for them.

The crown had made her go mad, and her emotions slowly dissipated, as she became as cold as the ice itself… She simply sighed, glancing at the two scaled dragons, who held such loyalty she couldn't really understand herself anymore.

"Fine, do as you please. At the very least, make sure to use your lives to weaken them, if you cannot win." She said with a smile.

"We'll put our lives in the line for you, the one that helped us and gave us a new life, a new future…." Sighed the first one.

"Thank you for everything you've done for us, my queen." The second dragon smiled sincerely.

"…" The Frost Queen glanced at them while not saying a single thing. 

Yet… deep down within her subconscious, there was something that was telling her that this was bad, that this wasn't the right way to do things. That… there was another way to do it. That there wasn't any need for more bloodshed. But she choose to ignore it.

"Go now, if you come back alive and with their heads in your hands, you shall be rewarded handsomely." She smiled.

The two dragons stepped down, as the Vampiress glanced at the Frost Queen, there was still another person at her side. An Ice Giant like her, protecting her…

"Are you planning to just watch after such a disappointment?" She asked, glaring angrily at the Vampiress. "What else will you do? My daughter is disappointed."

"Heh, what else can I do, I wonder~" The Vampiress smiled deviously, disappearing into pure mist before their eyes.

"Ignore her, she's merely a pawn of our true foe. Once Maria is taken down, I'll freeze her city and then the dwarves. We'll extract their resources and riches, and then, the humans and vampires are next." Said the Frost Queen. "I will not stop until this entire continent is covered in snow and frost… Until all of these despicable beings are gone from our domain. My country… It will be perfect."

"A world where we can finally live in peace, right, Tear?" Asked her mother, her eyes hid a despair she didn't wanted to admit.

"Indeed… Mother." Tear smiled. "A world of peace… without those filthy beings in our world. I'll do what Skadi never dared to do. I'll change the world. So we Ice Giants can live in peace and dominate everything. We will no longer be wronged, and my big brother… shall be avenged."

(Maria's POV)

Ding!

[You and your Party have defeated Four powerful foes!]

[You earned 185.000.000 EXP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[Your Level has increased from level 66 to Level 75!]

[All of your Stats have increased.]

[You earned a bonus of 9.000.000 System Points.]

[Your Job Class and Subclass Level has increased from Level 0 to Level 63!]

"Level 75 already…" I sighed, looking into the gates leading to the third floor of the Tower.

I was already more than midway through to reach Level 100. After this Level, I'll be able to evolve once more, quite possibly ascending into the Realm of SS Rank beings.

I don't know if I'll be able to evolve before reaching the Frost Queen, but I'll have to do anything I can to grow strong enough until I can fight her… Even with Arachne as our trump card, I am not 100% sure we can properly defeat her.

"Phew, is everyone feeling better?" I asked. We had already taken a thirty-minute break, where we had a filling meal too. "Should we continue?"

"Let's go." Lucifer said. "I am more than ready."

"Me too." Emeraldine nodded. "Leave to me the support as always too."

"I am as ready as I can." Jonathan smiled. "Let's do this, Maria."

"Me too~" Partner smiled. 

"I can feel two powerful draconic presences from the other side." Lucifer pointed out. "I fear that we might end up fighting the two other siblings of Valkoinen. After all, in the tales, Skadi had three Dragons, all brothers."

"So we'll be fighting two Divine Dragons?" Partner smiled. "Sounds interesting… I hope they don't die so fast."

"Valkoinen was incredibly formidable, it took my sister to evolve into the vessel of Muspel herself to defeat him…" Lucifer said. "I'm not saying it will be impossible, but let's make sure to stay together while we fight them. Don't lower your guards."

"Understood." I nodded. "Let's go."

CREAAAAK…!

The gates slowly opened.
