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

-----

I started deciphering the Goetia as I could. The system messages told me it was actually written by Ancient Wizards of the past. It seems that these were people that understood and studied the world better than the Gods themselves.

And of course, they were all wiped out by Odin's anger, he could simply not accept that these mortals were beginning to comprehend the world better than the Gods.

However, they left their knowledge in this book, the Goetia. It narrates their past, and also what they investigated the most.

The Calamities.

They defeated some and studied them by detail, and the reason why they were wiped out by Odin's judgement was because of this one reason.

They managed to create a Ritual to extract a Sin from a weakened Calamity.

Their goal? They wanted to harness their power for their own.

And they almost did it, it actually worked, but the one that became the vessel went insane and became a monster… Oops.

Nonetheless, he was neutralized as well at the end, and… It seems that they continued studying the sin, passing it to vessel after vessel.

They were really insane, but all of this insanity has now built upon this knowledge, even if it was built upon by terrible acts, I must embrace it.

The ritual is… quite complicated. I'll need a lot of materials too. But I think I can make up for them using some of the ones I have right now.

Though, I still can't do it right now. For now, I'll memorize everything and read the whole book. I feel like I might learn a Skill if I do.

"Munch…"

I ate my third fruit, as I felt a surge of power coming from my whole body again, another of my Level 10 Skills was evolving.

Ding!

[The Pure Essence of Death of the Fruit of Demonic Death has enhanced one of your Skills, allowing them to surpass their limits.]

[The Skills [Phantasmal Grasp: Lv10] and [Phantasmal Limbs: Lv10] have responded to the Evolution at the same time, both Skills will be merged together.]

[You have acquired the Fused Evolution Skill: [Divine Spectral Asura's Endless Limbs: Lv1]!]

[Divine Spectral Asura's Endless Limbs: Lv1]

An evolved skill created by the fusion of the [Phantasmal Grasp: Lv10] and [Phantasmal Limbs: Lv10] Skills.

Your Phantasmal Body has reached its next stage on its evolution as it has become a mighty, divine demonic being, an Asura.

You can conjure as many limbs as you have Mana for, changing their shape and forms. Countless arms, countless hands, countless legs, countless heads.

You're the clear vision of the Ancient multi-limbed Asura, Demons said to battle for endless supremacy in the depths of Helheim.

Your endless Limbs and Phantasmal Body have been naturally reinforced with your Divinities and your many other Body-related Skills, enhancing their Movement Speed, Agility, Dexterity, Attack Power, and Toughness by +400%, with an additional +50% with each Skill Level.

You can extend and manipulate your Endless Spectral Limbs in many ways, your Spectral Limbs can materialize within any area deemed as your territory, and within a 50-meter radius around your body.

The farther they are away from you, the less the bonuses become, however, you can extend your range and surprise enemies in a variety of ways.

The very touch of your Spectral Limbs to a living or unliving foe drains away their Health and Mana by 0.5% per second, while cursing them and decreasing all their Stats by -30% as long as your limbs touch them.

Your touch can not only cause such deadly effects, but if it manages to draw closer to their soul, it will cause +250% True Soul Damage, and may consume any enemy souls it touches.

You're not just a ghost anymore, you're a rampaging demon with no equal!

What an insane Skill. The very description alone is long! But it is also incredible…

It combines all the cool things of both skills and make them even more ridiculous.

It looks like I can pretty much extend a domain of phantasmal limbs of 50 meters around my body!

With this, I could be able to do even more multi tasks. I'll be able to dedicate myself to both help my family and friends hunt monsters while I craft materials, read the Goetia, cook, and everything!

"Alright, we're here." I said, walking out of the carriage as we just arrived in front of the caves leading towards an underground area of the desert. "These must be the Salt Crystal Caves!"

We all got out of the large carriage made out of bones I had created, which was actually an Undead too, named Abyssal Undead Black Carriage.

"Well done Charlie."

"Shall I accompany you inside, master?"

"Hmm, sure? If you want to. Bring your beasties too."

I named him Charlie, and I made him use the souls of several merchants and stranded people that died in the desert, which came flocking to me once I stepped here.

The bone beasts were just random monsters' souls. But they seemed to have created a bond with Charlie, becoming an extension of his carriage-like body.

He was only a B+ Rank Undead right now, I didn't put any effort into making him, but he still ended being fairly strong.

"So? How did your conversation with Hel went? You just went silent after what happened!" Emeraldine said, feeling a bit frustrated I was screaming to the empty air for a while.

"Oh, that…" I laughed as we moved to the dungeon's entrance. "Let's say I got a good deal, don't worry. Arachne… there's a good chance we can help her get rid of that power. And also to help others like her. Now I'm sure that if this ever happens to Nyx or Root, I can solve it!"

"You can?!" Lucifer asked. "Hel must really trust you… So what's the method?"

"I'm going to just absorb the Sins!" I smiled brightly.

"EH?!"

Everyone looked at me with dumbfounded expressions as we were already quite deep into the caves, they were filled with beautiful white and red-colored salt crystals.

"GRUOOHHH!"

Their scream ended bringing the attention of a dozen Salt Stone Golems, that came rushing towards us…
