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

-----

"Good morning to you all…" I yawned. "Ah, did I oversleep?"

"A bit too much perhaps." Emeraldine giggled. "Jonathan hasn't woken up yet."

"Oh, where's Partner?" I wondered, as I covered Jonathan's body with the blanket.

"She went to buy some groceries for breakfast, she was apparently eager to cook you something." Lucifer said. "Nyx and the others are inside of other rooms, we're currently in the second manor close to the palace, just to refresh your memory a bit."

"A-Ah, I see… We really went a bit ham last night, isn't it?" I giggled a bit.

"Ham? I would say you went completely insane… But I also have fault for that." Sighed Lucifer. "Well, all of us perhaps."

"Ahahaha, well, let's just not overthink about it." Emeraldine stood up from the bed, barely wearing her underwear, her blonde hair was all messy. "Phew, shall we go take a shower, Maria?"

"A-Ah, sure, the boys can take a shower together." I nodded. "Hey Jonathan, wake up already sleepyhead." I kissed his little nose, as he slowly opened his bright blue eyes.

"Hm? Ah, Maria… Ugh…" He groaned, suddenly feeling nauseas. "H-How much did we drank last night? My head… it hurts…"

"Emeraldine, can you heal him?" I asked her.

"Haha! Well, sure." Emeraldine smiled, touching Jonathan's head and imbuing him with a divine healing aura, it made him feel much better.

"Thank you Emeraldine, you're my savior." Sighed Jonathan in relief. "Since that fight that I've felt rather dizzy too, not just the alcohol."

"It might be because the God that granted you the Divine Protection you have is now dead." I explained. "I killed Baldr and ate him."

"R-Right… That happened." Jonathan sighed. "Although I feel strange because the divine protection became hollow, its powers remain somehow."

"You should probably try to slowly assimilate that power. Divine Protections are Divinity Fragments. If you can assimilate it, even a human like you could probably break his limits and further evolve." I said. "Or perhaps, develop a Divine Flame."

"Divine Flame…" Jonathan said. "Right, Eustace said something about it, right?"

"Divine Flames are the advanced form of a Divine Ember, a Divinity that grows and blazes within your soul. The more you develop it, the further your growth will get." Lucifer knew some of that as well. "I already have a Divine Ember in development. I am surprised someone as strong as you have none, Jonathan."

"As strong as me? Haha, you're flattering me, Lucifer. I am nothing compared to your strength." Laughed Jonathan. However his humble act only made my dragon husband angrier.

"Bastard, stop pretending you're weak. You're only going to insult me with such stupid words." Lucifer groaned, gritting his sharp teeth. "You think I like you being strong?! I am Maria's first man, so naturally I must be the strongest! I won't let you ever catch you! I will keep growing even faster than you!" He was still a bit jealous, as always.

"E-Eh? You don't need to get so angry…" Jonathan sighed. "And technically, I am Maria's first man because I was her boyfriend when she was alive…" His often soft and gentle gaze became sharp as he glanced back at Lucifer's eyes.

"You bastard… That doesn't count!" Lucifer groaned.

"Now, now, please don't fight over such trifling things, okay?" I sighed. "I'll go take a shower. Jonathan you can take one after me I guess. Lucifer, once Partner comes back can you make breakfast with her? Also, go wake up the kids and everyone else please."

"…Alright." Sighed Lucifer. "Also there's another bathroom on the first floor, so you can go shower there, human." He glared at Jonathan.

"Thank you." Jonathan nodded, quickly getting dressed and walking away.

I hadn't noticed but Jonathan was also a bit fierce, huh? Their rivalry was becoming rather strong now. Anyways, as I took a warm bath with Emeraldine, I decided to look at my new Skills, there was at least ten of them now.

[Void-Born Outer Being Embodiment: Lv3]

A Divine Skill given to someone that has been baptized and reborn within the Void itself.

You were baptized by a powerful Outer Being, those that live outside of the Worlds of the Tower and have become therefore Boundless. But that is not everything. Your very existence has evolved, changed, reconstructed itself into a being that prevails within Chaos and the Void.

Your ghostly soul has been destroyed and remade anew, your soul and your body are finally one and the same, and you, therefore, have regained your Spark of Life, becoming a living being, yet also an undead.

All previous Undead weaknesses you possessed have been removed, while keeping all Undead abilities that were beneficial and above the living.

Increases the Affinity, Power, and Effects of the Elements and Spells of the following Attributes: Void, Chaos, Death, Darkness, Shadows, Phantom, Poison, Moonlight, Space, Blood, Illusions, Dreams, Nightmares, and Destruction by +1000%, with an additional +100% with each Skill Level. Decreases the Energy consumption of using Spells, Abilities, Skills, and Divinities of such elements by -50%. Passively increases All Stats by +400% (invisible buff, can be turned on and off).

Your form can transform as you please, but by spending Mana, you can quickly unleash your [Truest Form], boosting the previous effects of this Skill by an additional +1000%, while also increasing all Stats by 600%, and all Skill Levels by +5 (can surpass maximum level), temporarily. You also generate a powerful [Death Black Void Energy Mantle] within your entire body, covering you like an armor that decreases all Damage Taken, of all Elements, by -50%.

With each Skill Level, the growth of all Skills and Abilities further increases by +10%.

-----

An amazing Skill right off the bat, and one with a hefty description as well! This one pretty much gives me everything I could ever want and more. And I can feel its power right away, I mean, it is pretty much the representation of what I've evolved into.

And that form I used to kill Baldr, was my [Truest Form], which I need constant usage of Mana to unleash, and it is very Mana Hungry at that. It drains faster than I can regenerate it, meaning that I only have roughly ten minutes of this [Truest Form] before I need to rest some time until my Mana recovers to 100% again.

Nonetheless, it's one of the best new Skills!
