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

Chapter 1161: It's Time



"A reason?" I asked.

I was surprised when Laura and Takeshi decided to not come with me and stay, I had imagined they would be interested on seeing what was happening with Earth.

But to think they had so little lingering attachments and were not even interested in going back. Is it because they died in accidents where their families also died with them?

Then yeah, unlike me, who is in the blue about my family, they don't really have any lingering attachments.

Also I think they died in two history accidents from a while ago... Laura died in the Twin Towers, and Takeshi in a tsunami in Japan, I think?

I can't remember, and I honestly don't want to, it is a bit too gruesome to think about how they died.

And it would be so embarrassing to compare it with me just getting buried by books after a Earthquake.

Most pathetic death ever.

Anyways, she had another reason though, or well, they had another reason.

"Yeah, it's because we feel we are a bit lacking, too weak, maybe," said Takeshi.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Like Tear said before, we've not really been advancing much after we hit max level recently," said Laura. "Without a Divine Ember, we can't get anywhere now... We have to sit down and try to get it first."

"Yeah, and I think it is like... Connected to our Unique Skills in more ways than we imagined," said Takeshi. "Perhaps the way for our Unique Skills to evolve like yours, is for us to get this Divine Ember..."

"I understand," I nodded. "Very well then, if you insist, there's nothing that can be done about it... Thanks everyone! That was mostly all I wanted to talk about, you're free now!" Everyone quickly dispersed, busy on their own things to remain here with us at all times.

As everyone walked away, I stayed behind looking through the window while thinking about various things.

Frigga was still there though.

"Frigga, do you know how to easily help them get a Divine Ember?" I wondered.

"Easily?! No," she said. "But I can help them obtain it, those that complained about it all had great potential and might be developing one without realizing, I can help them with it, yes. If you provide some divine treasures, its totally possible to help them more too."

"Huh... I guess it can't be helped," I sighed. "Now, what else did I want to talk about or do? I kind of forgot after all the talk... Ah, right! I have to go check on Veredorr and see if I can work on something for him..."

"Veredorr?" wondered Frigga. "Is that one of your friends?"

"A Frost Ghost that gave up his life to save Tear, she was the Frost Queen," I explained to Frigga. "But his Soul Core remained, a jewel that is the core of a ghost's soul. Which Tear carries around as a necklace. I want to see if I can do something about it, get it?"

"I do..." Frigga nodded. "You're quite a soft person, aren't you, Maria? You're always thinking on the other people's problems and working to solve them and help them."

"Huh? And is that supposed to be a bad thing?!" I asked. "They're my friends and family, so of course I am a little worried sometimes."

"Yeah, I just... it has been a while since I've faced people with such conviction," she sighed. "I guess my family was that screwed, huh?"

"Most likely... I mean, you raised them," I muttered. "Um, anyways, I have to go. Once we begin to descend, I hope you can help everyone with their Divine Embers if possible."

"Of course, it's the least I could do for you," she nodded. "Leave it to me."

I disliked how familiar she acted all the time, but there was no helping it.

I moved back to Tear, finding the cute Ice Titan girl sitting on the stairs leading to the living

room.

"Hey, let's go to your room." I said, patting her shoulders.

"A-Ah, Maria... Oh, yes," she said nervously.

She walked by my side, looking all nervous, and even blushing a bit.

"What's wrong with you?" I wondered.

"Um... Lady Maria I... I love Veredorr, so... I know you might want to do something with me but... I-I have to refuse, okay? I-I know I might be irresistible but-"

"Eh?" I muttered. "W-What are you talking about?! I didn't expect this kind of reaction from you..."

I facepalmed, as I decided to clear things up a bit.

"I want to check if I can revive Veredorr! I've grown plenty strong so far, after all," I said. "But for that we need to check if it would work or not, got it?"

"O-Oh! So that was it, Hahahah..." she laughed slightly nervously.

Yeah, this girl... Does she think I want to have sex with every girl?

I only have fucked three!

...Well, it still a lot, but not every girl.

"D-Do you think it can be done?!"

"I don't know, but we can try."

As we entered her room and gained some peace, I quickly moved to it, touching her necklace.

Her chest was very big, so it couldn't be helped I ended touching it lightly... she didn't mind thankfully.

I don't have any romantic feelings towards her or something, but I have to admit, she got some massive ones.

Veredorr is a lucky man.

"Now, let's see..."

Let's make this happen and not be a massive disappointment, because I really don't want to break this girl's heart.

I closed my eyes, concentrating in the necklace, the crystalized soul core of Veredorr which he

left behind.

While the rest of his soul was destroyed and everything else within it, he still left this.

Inside of it, was his Origin Core, slightly fractured, with many cracks.

Back then in the Tower of Skadi, I confronted a Vampire Necromancer, a woman with a tremendous ability over the dead.

Which surpassed even mine...

She was able to summon almost unkillable Undead that never died as they used their Origin

Cores to summon them, needing no souls, or even bodies.

Why? Because even when you destroy a soul or a body, their Origin Cores remain, somewhere,

always.

And that power...

I must tap into that as well.
