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

-----

We enjoyed our feast, and once we were finally done, we decided to keep moving forwards. As usual, I let my Undead scout the area first by advancing in the front, while the newbies were right behind them, waiting for any bags of EXP to walk in.

As for my family? Well they were hanging out with me in the carriage… They took my little kiss with Jonathan surprisingly well! Actually, Partner herself apologized later for acting cocky about it.

"Sorry about that, Master. I know now that Jonathan is really important and he's not just some dude pretending to be nice with you…" Partner apologized. "I love you, please don't get mad at me, sniff…"

"I'm not bad…" I sighed while crossing my arms. "But you should apologize to him for being so rude."

"E-Eh? To him?!" Partner was shocked.

"No, no, there's no need to apologize, Maria." Jonathan said with a gentlemanly smile. "Partner, I only have gratitude for all the time you've spent protecting her. You're someone very important to her, I hope you can continue protecting her and loving her. Let's work together from now on, at least as allies. Maybe we can be friends later?"

He extended his big hand to shake hers…

"Huh…" Partner raised an eyebrow, glancing back at me.

"Just shake his hand… Come on, it won't hurt you." I said.

"Fine…" Partner shook Jonathan's hand. "Let's get along I guess… Just to be clear, I don't like guys! I only like girls, and only Master! So don't try to seduce me or something…"

"E-Eh? That has never been my intention…" Jonathan said. "I'm sorry if I gave off such a vibe…"

"Geez, he sure never stops apologizing." Partner said to me.

"He's like that, leave him be." I giggled.

Lucifer and Emeraldine were nodding happily.

"I'm so happy you were able to reconnect a bit more…" Emeraldine said. "I've never seen Maria so happy like that before… You truly have a big spot in her heart, Jonathan. Thank you for cheering her up."

"Oh, it is nothing, really." Jonathan smiled. "I simply just talked a few things, and she remembered some… It is all thanks to you that she has been able to smile and laugh, thank you so much for being at her side."

"Hmph…" Lucifer glanced at his eyes. "I guess you're okay…" He admitted, looking elsewhere.

"E-Eh? Thanks…" Jonathan bowed to Lucifer. "It is an honor to be recognized by the Dragon King…"

"Hmph…" Lucifer simply continued crossing his arms.

He was a man of little words sometimes… And a bit tsundere.

"That's his way of saying that he's happy that you're around." I explained to Jonathan.

"Oh, so he's bad with words, huh? I see." Jonathan nodded with great patience and understanding.

"That's not it, you stupid human!" Lucifer got angrier and barked back.

"Hahaha, don't worry, he's like that." I teased Lucifer. "Dear, don't lose your control in front of Nyx…"

"Papa, don't be grumpy!" Nyx said angrily. "Or mama will punish you- no, I will! With this big tail!"

Nyx pointed her tail at her father.

"Get along!"

"I am! I'm getting along…"

Lucifer was very weak to our daughter.

"Listen, Maria is my precious treasure." Said Lucifer, as he offered his hand to Jonathan. "If you ever dare hurt her… I will chase you to the ends of the world and rip you apart piece by piece, got it?"

"Y-Yes, I understand…" Jonathan nodded. "She is also someone very important to me, I would never dare do such a thing! I am looking forward to working with you, Dragon King Lucifer!" He bowed to him.

"Ugh…" Lucifer sighed at my side. "Why is he so good natured? It's hard to get angry at someone like him."

"Heheh, that's how he is." I giggled.

"Uncle Jonathan!" Nyx called him again.

"Yes, little Nyx?" Asked Jonathan.

"Tell me how mama's brother was!" Nyx said.

"Oh, right! Well…"

As Jonathan started talking about my brother with everyone, I decided to get some work done. I already was giving the finishing touches to a new shield I would be giving to everyone too.

However, aside from that, I was also beginning to work on my own new dress. I wanted a special dress that worked as both a fancy dress like the ones I like to use, which seem to have come from my mother always buying me the fanciest and most expensive ones, that could also work as a full body armor when needed.

I can use my powers to create armors over my body, hell, I can even fuse my weapons into bigger ones too! But still, although they give buffs, they are always based on my already existing base stats.

To increase my base stats, I need to both levels up and get equipment, those are almost the only two ways to get them properly, so a good armor that also works as a beautiful dress I can change form and colors would be ideal…

For that very reason, I am already working on it, using my Shadow Thread Skill in combination with my Shadow Sculping Arts Skill, and creating countless fine threads made out of my shadows, reinforced and enchanted with lots of Mana, Phantasmal Essence, Void Essence, and Moonlight Essence.

It required a lot of focus and effort, but as time went on, the threads were slowly coming out, beautifully shining with a silvery glint, slightly dark gray in color. I also made some others that were silver colored, blue colored, purple colored, and red colored.

The different colored threads would be essential for all the decorations I want my dress to have after all!

While making them, I imbued Runic Inscriptions on them as well, all while preparing the other metallic threads, using the same ores and metals I used for that armor.

Plus some of Brunhild, Lucifer, and the other Divine Dragons Scales, for extra super protection and defenses!

I also added my own armor pieces, the armor I create when I transform, which can remain solid if I imbue mana into it before detaching parts of it.

I decided to also add threads made using the Death Tree Wood, and all was finely enchanted using the dust of strong Monster Crystals, Void Crystals, and Moonlight Crystals.

"The fabric is finally done!" I nodded. "Now, time to get sewing!"

I was going to make the ultimate noble lady dress to make my mama proud!
