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

Chapter 803 Against The Evil Spirit Tree

-----

Maria and her family finally arrived at the end of this whole ordeal, the one behind this entire disaster, the Evil God Fragment that possessed the Lesser Yggdrasil Tree, mutating it into an aberrant monster, not at all similar to the adorable Root that Maria raised with love and care.

"I knew it! It was the Evil God Fragment all along! Did you possess Ash body?!" Maria asked.

"THAT BOY'S BODY, YOU ASK?" Laughed the tree. "WHAT IF I DID?! HE'S MERELY A VESSEL! A BODY I USE TO INFECT THIS MUCH MORE PRECIOUS BODY! THIS TREE FILLED WITH SPIRITUAL POWER… IT IS MINE! GAHAHAHA!"

"S-So Ash… Was he forced to merge with the tree?!" Cried Takeshi.

"He was a tool all along for the fragment!" Laura was surprised, although she had guessed correctly.

"I've always knew that my other selves became monsters due to the corruption into my soul…" Tyr sighed. "But this guy is honestly worse than the others by far…"

"I'm guessing conversing with this bastard's pointless." Lucifer sighed. "You filthy motherfucker, I'm going to tear you a new butthole with my claws." His dragon form sharp claws glowed with Abyssal Death Flames.

"We'll have to fight this thing together then…" Jonathan nodded, his aura spreading through the entire area, shining brightly with divine sunlight energy, his divine sword gleaming and resonating with his mana.

"I was waiting for this anyways!" Partner smiled, holding both of her spears. "Let's do this!"

"YOU! Are you the one that brought so much despair and destruction to my village?!" Emeraldine cried. "And to think you would use a small child as a tool… Unforgivable. I won't have mercy! I'm tired of all of this! Of how you've ruined my precious home! You're going down!" 

Emeraldine had enough as well, roaring with fury. Among everyone here, she was the most frustrated, as her entire home was destroyed, devastated by this monster.

"No matter what we'll help Ash out!" Laura said.

"Somehow!" Takeshi nodded.

"I can detect a faint life force inside of the tree's bark." Maria explained. "Ash… is most likely there, still somewhat alive. However, the tree is slowly… fusing with him, in some more time, he'll end up being completely assimilated, we have to get this done quickly, and separate the tree and his body! If possible, I'll also absorb that Evil God Fragment!"

"AS IF I WOULD EVER LET YOU FIND HIM! THAT BOY'S MINE!" Laughed the tree. "NOW, COME, AND PERISH!"

TRUUUUUUMMMM…!

The enormous tree let out a powerful, catastrophic aura of dread, chaos, and darkness that engulfed everyone, swiftly weakening their bodies and minds!

Ding!

[The Monstrous [Chaotic Evil God Corrupted Yggdrasil Tree (S+++ Rank)] roars with fury!]

[His corrupted soul exudes a deadly [Chaotic Aura of Despair], which lowers all foes Stats by -50%, and decreases HP and MP Regeneration by -80%, while increasing all of his Magic Power and Defenses by +300%!]

FLUOOOOOOSH!

"Unngh?! T-This thing… Argh…!" Emeraldine started groaning in agony. "M-My power is being drained?!" She fell to her knees.

"Urk…! You bastard! What is this spell?!" Jonathan cried, suffering the same weakening effect.

"Argh…! It even affects me?!" Lucifer was shocked, as he felt he couldn't move his huge body as easily anymore!

"Urgh…" 

"Hahhh…"

Takeshi and even Laura were affected, even when they were wielders of the Chaos Element.

"Mama…!" Nyx felt weakened too.

"Urgh… Those damn words…" Tear muttered, growing furious. "Those damn words remind me of that stupid crown!" The young Ice Giant roared angrily, as her powers continued surging.

FLUOOOOOSH!

Her frost aura started quickly freezing the ground and spreading across some of the roots of the huge tree!

"UNGH?!"

Her frost somehow distracted and temporarily weakened the huge tree, as Maria gathered the power of Tyr, his entire body fusing with her through her Spiritual Fusion Skill.

Ding!

[You have temporarily underwent Spirit Fusion with [Chaotic Evil God Spirit: Tyr]!]

[All Stats have increased by a further +300%, Chaos Magic Damage has increased by +500%, MP and HP are constantly regenerated!]

[Duration: 10 Minutes.]

"Your damn debuff is shit compared to this!" Maria roared. "[Shadow and Death Domain]!"

TRUUUUMMMM…!

Maria hit the ground with all her fury, as shadows and darkness spread everywhere. However, instead of hurting everyone like the tree's powers could, it helped them stabilize!

Ding!

[Your [Shadow and Death Domain: Lv10] Skill has completely cancelled the foe [Chaotic Evil God Corrupted Yggdrasil Tree (S+++ Rank)]'s [Chaotic Aura of Despair]!]

[Your Darkness and Death is much stronger, permeating the air and ground with it!]

[All of your Stats while being within this Domain increase by a further +150%, and your Darkness and Death Magic power increases by +250% while their MP Consumption reduces by -50%!]

[Additionally, compatible allies receive similar buffs, and even non compatible allies are not affected by negative effects!]

"It worked!" Maria smiled, as she noticed everyone was finally able to move much better now!

"M-MY AURA IS BEING CANCELLED?! N-NO! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" The huge tree groaned in agony, his roots and branches quickly beginning to move, shapeshifting into hundreds of utterly gigantic spears. "I AM CLEARLY THE SUPERIOR FRAGMENT! PERISH!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAAASSSSH!!!

The huge spears made of gigantic wood branches and roots hit the ground as they attempted to impale everyone, but thanks to Maria's enhancements and her domain, things were looking pretty good right now!

Everyone swiftly evaded the attacks, as Maria kept her daughter Nyx close to her by making sure she was always behind. The little dragon girl desired battle above all else, but she was too young and unexperienced to get into such a deadly fight. 

However, she couldn't fight against her desire to join anyways, and had to bring her along… 

"Mama!" Nyx cried.

"Are you alright dear? Keep yourself behind mama and papa, okay?" Maria said. "Please, don't be reckless and stay behind. You can support us from afar, alright?"

"Please, Nyx!" Lucifer said. 

Nyx, although young, knew she was very beloved.

"O-Okay!" She nodded, flying farther away, while being coated by Maria's shadows and her very soul to be further protected.

The same was with Takeshi and Laura, which quickly joined her at her side.

"You three, support us from afar! The cavalry will charge forwards." Maria smiled. "Everyone, are you ready?! Let's end this!"

"RATS! PERISH!" 

CRAAAASSSH!!!
