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

-----

Lucifer and Jonathan led Maria's party, their attacks and magic swiftly clashing against the Chimeric Vampires, whose shapes transformed into aberrant creatures. Their claws, magic, and abilities were all incredibly strong, they were all S Rank after all. They held enough power to hold their ground even against such a big group as Maria's party.

Their clash was intense, Lucifer was the one to transform into his dragon form and quickly draw their attention. While he was being ganged on by five of the chimeras, Jonathan swiftly descended from above, using his divine sword arts to swiftly cut through them, attempting to slash them into pieces with his purifying light.

He managed to kill two of the chimeras, before the other ten quickly changed their tactics. The five toughest moved towards the heavy hitters, while the other five started conjuring devastating magic from afar, explosions reverberated everywhere. And amidst this chaos, Celes and Nia ran towards the sealed statue of the Dark Pest.

"Where do you think you're going?!" A monstrous vampire chimera with the body of a giant monkey, possessing six muscular arms and the head of a blazing salamander crashed into the ground right in front of them. His six arms assimilating elemental magic conjured by relicts imbued into his flesh and bones, as a meteoric rain of fists descended upon them. "DIE!"

"Nooo!"

Celes cried, his Divine Spiritual Aura of Water surged, summoning a powerful wall of divine and crystalline, azure-colored water. Further boosted by his spirits, it held off against the vampire's fists with ease, before swiftly pouring down onto the chimera, the water draining away his life force and mana.

SPLAAASH!

"W-What the…?! What is this damn- ARRGH!"

And that wasn't all, the Vampire was swiftly greeted by a spiraling spear, imbued with powerful lightning. Celes' mother, Nia, leaped into midair and then rushed down with her spear pointed down.

"[Tempestuous Thunderstorm Spear]!"

CRAAASH!

The spear pierced the vampire's chest, as an outburst of cutting winds and lightning swiftly engulfed his body into utter agony. The explosion was so strong it blew away Nia and Celes, before Eustace were to appear in front of them to protect them from the shockwave.

BOOOMM!!

"AARRGGH!"

The Vampire swiftly stood back up, barely alive. The blood he lost was employed offensively. As he kept insulting them, a rain made of blood spears rained down. Celes held his ground with the barriers he created, while giant tridents made of spiritual water pierced the chimera constantly. At the same time, Nia and Eustace confronted the vampire head-on, their weapons clashing against his tough hide and metallic claws.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Over time, he grew weaker, his roars and rage only echoing faintly as the Water Ghost and wind-wielding mother pointed their weapons against his neck. The divine ghostly sword of azure color slashed him swiftly, while the lightning and wind-imbued spear pierced him deep. His head rolled over the ground, the vampire's body collapsing!

BAAAM!

"Now, before anybody gets closer!" Eustace roared.

"Celes!" Nia cried.

"I'm coming!" Celes said, as he saw the fairies of water suddenly fuse into his body. A pair of big, butterfly wings made of azure water grew from his back, guiding him towards the Dark Pest's sealed body.

FLASH!

The boy gathered all his powers together, doing as Maria had told him before. The Dark Pest was incredibly strong, but the powers that Celes had inherited from Naiad were the key to hold him back! After all, it was Naiad who sealed him for all these hundreds of years.

"Mama! Eustace!"

Celes channeled his powers into his mother and Eustace, imbuing into them an Aura of Divine Spiritual Water. His powers combined with them, as Eustace swiftly transformed, fusing into Nia's spear.

FLUOSH!

A giant spear of azure and crystalline divine spirit water materialized, growing larger, and overflowing with divine power. Celes' power didn't hesitate to point at the black statue. Her wind and lightning combining into the water to form a mighty windstorm and thunderstorm effect.

CRAAASH!

With all their might, they aimed to destroy the Dark Pest before he could revive! However, as the explosion of water, winds, and lightning erupted as it impacted the sealed monster, a wave of corrupted spiritual essence exploded.

BOOOM!

"Uwaahh!"

Celes, his mother, and Eustace were all blown away by the powerful explosive shockwave. The entire dungeon trembled once more. The black statue gained a few more cracks as it was hit, but nothing else happened. They slowly stood up to find the statue beginning to float in midair.

A barrier of miasma, chaos, and corrupted spirit energy was summoned, protecting the sealed demon from Murim like a bubble of black color. The roar of anger of something within this black crystal echoed, reverberating across the entire dungeon.

"T-That's… Naiad's powers?!" Eustace cried. "Bastard…!"

"Did you thought it would be easy for a mere child and her mother to ever harm someone as mighty as me?! Even if sealed, I am someone that will transcend the heavens." The voice spoke. "I have cultivated this spiritual power that your foolish Oasis Spirit has left behind, and I've made it mine! Her powers no longer will damage me! And you, my pathetic slaves, what are you doing?! Protect me!"

With a furious scream, the Vampires swiftly rushed towards the Dark Pest, protecting him from the attackers. Magic circles expanded around their surroundings. The Dark Pest's powers fusing into them, as Miasmic Beasts started to be summoned by the dozens!

"Yan Shang, you bastard!" Eustace roared, appearing on his ghostly form once more.

The Dark Pest could recognize that voice amidst the sea of monsters. His sharp red eyes shone beneath his crystal cage. A laughter echoed across the dungeon.

"Eustace, my good friend." He laughed. "It looks like even after death, you've come to pester me! But do not worry, this time, I will make sure not even your soul is spared!"

As the Dark Pest laughed, the Vampires and his army of Miasmic Beasts attacked the group. Celes, Nia, and Eustace were forced back as they were constantly attacked by a rampage of magic and blows from the Vampires.

"So he wasn't totally sealed, huh…" Maria noticed the Dark Pest.
