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



-----

After buying Nyx every single thing we found cute on her, from armor to dresses to robes to hats, to bracelets to necklaces to earrings and all, we got into weapons.

"Excuse me, small weapons?" I asked the bitter-looking desert elf.

"To the right…" He groaned.

"Thanks~!"

We moved on to the next things, weapons! We decided to check everything they wanted. Fabian and his friends were all proficient in using magic powers and skills barehanded, but that wouldn't do though, we wanted them to get some weapons.

Silva and Celes too, if possible. Nyx… I don't know if she even needs weapons? She has so many draconic powers that she's better fighting off without one, maybe.

"So what would you like to use as a weapon, Silva?" Asked Catarina. "I know I gave you a knife back then, but maybe something else would do you good?"

"Hmmm…" Silva wondered around the shop, looking for something she liked. "I-I don't know…"

"Hah, oh well, let's see what you are good at wielding." Catarina gave weapons to Silva and started trying out what she liked or could use.

Silva tried out all sorts of weapons, swords, spears, axes, staffs, a halberd, and so on, but she wasn't good at wielding any of them except small wands and knives.

At the end, she grabbed a black colored dagger with a tiny red jewel on it, named Dark Curse Dagger, it'll enhance her magic and help her defend herself if needed.

"Huh, maybe I should grab a spear like mom…" Celes wondered, seeing his mom hold a spear and practice with it a bit, rather well at that.

"Hehe, are you surprised that your mother can wield a weapon?" Giggled Nia. "I used to train a bit with the weapon, your father taught me how to use it rather well, I believe.

"Oooh, that's so cool!" Celes was excited. "I want to use a spear too!"

"It would be better for you to use something less dangerous, Celes." Her mother said. "You'll do better with this blue wand; it seems good for your element!"

"Ugh, fine…" Celes sighed, accepting the wand that enhanced water and ice elements a bit.

As for the other kids, Fabian got himself a magic sword, Spectra a magic spear, Garon some red colored gauntlets, Nick two small axes, and Beery a shield and a wand.

"Alright, looks like you guys are set." I nodded. "Oh, you guys don't want a weapon too?" I asked Takeshi and Laura, who had been helping the kids decide their weapons.

"I would grab a wand but I'm alright with what I have." Laura said. 

"My fishing rod is a weapon!" Takeshi seemed a bit offended I didn't count that as one…

"O-Oh, right, my bad!" I laughed a bit. "A-Anyways, we'll be paying for all of this." I said, placing a huge bag of coins over the wooden table, the desert elf glanced at the money with eyes wide open.

"Y-You're really buying all of this… V-Very well, let me count the money and the prices…" He slowly did just that, until we paid for everything. "Looks like there's an extra few thousands, please grab them."

"Oh, alright." I nodded. "Though if you don't mind, do you sell any materials? I remember seeing the ones from outside, they were all very low quality, so I wanted to find higher quality materials that were endemic of the deserts…"

"I don't deal with materials, everything I get is to make stuff, but you can buy high quality materials at a shop in the other side of this street, the prices are not that cheap though, but I doubt that'll be a problem for you, seeing how wealthy you are." The desert elf old man smiled. 

"Thank you, gramps!" I said, leading my party to that very shop.

"Gramps?! I'm still rather young!" The desert elf protested as we left his shop.

We traveled across the streets as we inspected our surroundings, finding many interesting things, ultimately landing in front of the shop that sold materials, entering it, we found a desert elf woman this time, the entire shop was filled with all sorts of gems, ores, stones, and the magic crystals of monsters.

"Welcome!" She said very gently.

"Oh, hi! We're looking for materials." I said. "I'll take a look around and pick what we need."

"Sure thing. Take your time." The lady nodded.

I ended picking up most of the ores I found that were new. There was Golden Sand Ore, which was hardened sand mixed with gold, Strengthened Salt Silver, which was a magic ore of silver with desert salt crystals, Rainbow Glass Crystals, that were made out of desert sand imbued with spirit energy, turning into a rainbow glass of strong magic properties. 

Spiraling Saphirinitte, which was a mix of Sapphire, Ruby, and Emerald mixed together into a spiral, very beautiful, and lastly, my personal favorite, Diamond Draconitite, an incredibly unique crystal, almost as hard as diamonds, in the shape of scales, it can harbor elemental power really well too!

"Wow you're buying a big haul, girl, are you some sort of blacksmith? Never seen you around!" The lady said.

"Something like that, I just like to collect rare materials and see what I can do with them!" I laughed, paying up.

"Thank you for passing by! Have a nice day." She said.

"Thanks!"

Like that, we moved out, realizing the night had already come as the sun descended from the horizon in the meantime it took me to check everything I wanted.

"Well, it's gotten dark already, should we go back to the Inn for now?" Asked Lucifer. "Or should we get to the dungeon right away?"

"Hmm, I think another day of rest for everyone to get completely ready should be good." I nodded. "Let's go take one last break before things get real, shall we? We also need to wait for the water barrel reaction, I've already distributed half the population now, some had found it out and had not said a thing, I wonder if some will make a fuss eventually…"

"Alright! I want dinner mommy!" Nyx said, without really caring about whatever I was saying. 

"Haha, fine, I'll cook some food from home this time, to change things a bit." I smiled. "I'm sure Celes will be pleased."

"Yaaaay! I want cheesecake!" Celes was growing slightly spoiled.

A group of black-cloaked men wandered around the dark streets at night, walking closer to the Inn, using magic artifacts to remain unseen and undetected, enchanted with ancient hexes and sorcery.

However, their sharp crimson eyes could be seen beneath their cloaks, very clearly at that, showing what their true nature and beings they truly were.

"They're getting closer, prepare everything."

"The Magic Nodes are positioned, and it is night, sir."

"Once you give us the command, the shard's powers shall be activated…"

The black cloaked men gathered around their leader, smaller and older than them, as he laughed once he heard things were going smoothly.

"Perfect! Our Lord Maleficus will be pleased once we bring him the child!" He laughed. "They are certainly strong if they could defeat those Puppet Paladins even in their transformed states… But things will be a bit different now."
