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

-----

The Paladin Chimeras leaped into the city, crushing the buildings as they monstrously destroyed everything. The smallest of them was at least seventy meters of height, true titans commanded with the very task of crushing the entire city to the ground and eat everyone. The aura of the Saintess further boosting their power. They were all already within the realm of S- Rank Monsters, but with this, they could even reach the Realm of S Rank Monsters.

"Destroy everything… Drown it all!" A gigantic octopus and crab hybrid-like chimera roared, its tentacles spreading everywhere, trying to find people to crush, although the shadows had already taken them away, he was still trying to destroy any building on his path.

"Oh, this guy got a lot of meaty tentacles, he's going to be a tasty Takoyaki!" Partner appeared above the monster, her two spears descending towards it in a split of a second. "[Blood Spear Rend]!"

Two slashes of pure crimson blood energy were unleashed, piercing through the tentacled abomination. It attempted to resist with its many limbs, and by vomiting miasmic breath, but Partner easily tanked all hits with her natural and incredible vitality.

"Die! [Blood Flare]!"

She detonated all the blood energy left behind within the monster's wounds, as an explosion of crimson fire engulfed the creature, blowing it up into pieces. She smiled as she stood above the burnt corpse, taking out a piece of the roasted tentacles and eating it.

"Hmm, bleh, this tastes awful actually."

As she threw away the tentacle, she looked into the skies. Two gigantic shark-headed, wyvern-winged chimeras were trying to break through Maria's Shadow Realm, trying to seek the people she was protecting.

"Nuh-huh, you're not doing that!"

With a leap into the skies, she resembled a crimson blur, appearing right above the two chimeras. A predatory smile in her beautiful, flawless face, as her crimson eyes shone brightly. Chains made of her own blood, darkness, and her demonic energy were unleashed, wrapping around the wings of the monsters and making them immediately fall.

"ROOAR!"

"SHAAH!"

Both monstrosities roared back at her, unleashing a double breath attack of azure holy water. Deadly against Undead and Vampires, which she was both! However, Partner simply started spinning both of her spears as she encompassed her body on her Aura.

BOOOM!

The two breath attacks impacted her, as she sliced them through the air using her powerful spears and her Aura. Her techniques were constantly evolving and becoming stronger. She descended, attacking both beasts with a barrage of piercing strikes, her Aura shaping into the form of a ferocious viper biting their foe.

"[Blood Viper's Fangs]"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The monstrosities were unable to react in time, their bodies covered on countless holes, reduced to piles of minced flesh before they were to even be able to fight back.

"Heh, well this was easier than I thought… Master better gets this done with quickly, I want to take a break~" She yawned.

At the same time, similar battles happened across the entire city. Now devoid of any citizens, everyone was allowed to go all-out without worrying. Maria even said she'll help the citizens repair the houses later anyways.

"ROOOAAR!"

Lucifer roared mightily, unleashing a devastating breath attack of Abyssal Death Flames, piercing through the scaled armor of a Water Dragon-like Chimera, with seven sea snake-like heads. It was one of the largest chimeras around, almost at the same size as his dragon form.

BOOOM!

The explosion of black flames consumed the monster's left shoulder, making it decay and fall down while slowly dissolving. The creature groaned in agony, red tentacles popping out of the wounds, trying to overwhelm Lucifer by sucking away his Mana by attempting to pierce his scales.

"Hah, fool."

However, the tentacles were too weak, his pristine black scales couldn't even be pierced. Lucifer charged his claws with his flames, quickly slicing through the fake draconic chimera's heads, and beheading it completely.

"GRAAARGH!"

The monster wasn't dead yet, from where the heads were, a mass of endless sharp teeth and eyes popped out, like the head of a hagfish, it attempted to devour Lucifer's whole face. However, the dragon smiled, quickly piercing the open mouth with his claws and then releasing all his power inside of the aberration's stomach.

"If you're so hungry, eat as much as you want! [Chaotic Catastrophe]!"

An explosion of pure chaos materialized inside of the monster's stomach as Lucifer channeled his strongest explosive spell. The monster's body grew swollen like a balloon, before blowing up into countless pieces.

BOOOM!

"Hmph…" He glared at the dozen more chimeras appearing around him. "I guess my job here is not done yet… Just how many of you did that bitch had stashed somewhere?"

There weren't as many Paladins as chimeras, in fact. This was because the Paladins themselves were so monstrous they were transformed to "give birth" to more of their own. Only thirty or so Paladins ended becoming hundreds of smaller chimeras spread everywhere. Self-dividing to spread chaos and destruction.

"Die, you little bugs."

Lucifer had already lost most of his patience, crushing the smaller chimeras with his claws and foot, while persecuting the larger ones and quickly taking them down.

At the same time, Emeraldine aimed into the skies with her arrow. Her sharp emerald-colored eyes focusing on the flock of a hundred flying shark-headed wyvern-winged chimeras, all born from a single paladin chimera flying with them, which was around ten times as large as them.

"I can't possibly let those escape Maria's Shadow Realm!"

Focusing and channeling all her Mana and Spiritual Essence into her bow, she unleashed a single, gigantic arrow made of rainbow colors. Which then split into a hundred more. The skies were covered by the colors of the rainbow, as the wyvern-like shark-headed chimeras were completely massacred by a shower of explosions.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Naturally, their titanic leader's heart was swiftly pierced as it was distracted by the attacks, a huge arrow made of Yggdrasil Wood spread its roots through its internal body, until its entire body blew up.

CRASH!

"As long as I am here, nobody will disrupt the skies."

As everyone fought to defend the city and kill the chimeras, Emilia felt Maria's cold hands grasp her tender neck tightly.

"Emilia, are you prepared to die?"

"G-Get away from meeee!"

FLASH!
