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



-----

We slept through the night without any disturbances, even I managed to get a nice shuteye while giving myself the privilege of relaxing as much as I wanted. The morning sun came rather strong as a new day starter. 

And as I woke up, I was quickly sent several amounts of information from what my Phantom Clones had extracted from the souls of the Paladins, alongside from those that went to scout the entire city at night.

I was able to quickly map almost the entire city with my Automatic Mapping Skill and this information. And of course, I learned where the secret passages leading to the dungeon were. Most of the entrances were sealed with bricks, but there were some still open, guarded by paladins.

Our best bet is to reopen one of the sealed entrances, which doesn't seem so hard as long as we create a barrier that isolates the sound from the outside, yeah.

The second news is that the Paladins knew a bit, but not as much as I imagined, from all I saw, they've simply been following the orders of Emilia, the Saintess that has become more like a tyrant in this city.

And about their modified bodies? It happened while they were unconscious. The faint memories they have of their modifications were of "qualifying" for it, entering a large hall in the church with some suspicious men wearing black robes, and then them falling unconscious and waking up the next day over a soft bed, things completely done.

They didn't knew who those guys were either, but they could be either a different organization cooperating with the church, or maybe another organization that might be an off branch of the Vampire Family operating Gold Sand in the shadows.

Aside from that, I learned that the people they apprehend and capture, who they have seen "illegally" trying to get water from the Oasis, are kept in a dungeon section of the church, which might or might not connect with the dungeon underground.

And information about the Divine Star Carriage, there was none, not even the commander, who was now a huge shark monster undead had no idea about it, sadly. Oh, and I also raised the other two as Undead, so I got three giant marine monsters as Undead, and they're all S- Rank! Pretty good, isn't it?

"So this Dungeon used to be a crucial part of the city's economy, huh?" I wondered. "So to take away even more opportunities for people to make a living, they sealed the entrances and now the dungeon is a secret place only a few can enter… Maybe the reason why their paladins are so strong is because they have all that EXP for themselves now."

"Hmm, well! Anyways, let's do our best for today! Once we're done having breakfast, let's explore the slightly fancier areas of the city. I want to taste some of the endemic food, buy some equipment for Nia and Celes, and also for everyone else. I doubt you guys want to wear just bone armor and weapons. If we can get back home, it would be easier for me to craft items with all the materials I have in my own forge with the dwarves, but in here, I can make very little, sadly." I shrugged.

"It's fine, I would gladly wear bone armor!" Nia said. "My husband and I used to craft it to sell it, it was cheap yet it always sold for newbie adventurers…"

"Aww, well, I'll get you a much better armor. Are you proficient in any weapon?" I wondered.

"Hmm… W-Well, I never really fought." She sighed.

"Well, a complete newbie, huh? If you have no magic affinity, the best would be a spear." Partner said. "Spears are the easiest to handle weapons for newbies, you just point at something and pierce it, you can even keep a good distance from them, spear and shield would do good. I was a complete newbie too when I was just a skeleton, so the spears simplicity helped a lot, now I'm a dual spear expert!"

"A-A skeleton?" Nia wondered, feeling confused.

"Forget that part…" I laughed nervously. "A-Anyways! Let's get going!"

Meanwhile, within the depths of the city's dungeon, a large group of black-cloaked people started moving to the surface.

"Find them, trap them, and kill them."
