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

Chapter 1238: The Nightmare Lord Emerges!



RUMBLE!

Suddenly, as I grabbed Sofia and let her piggyback me, the ground trembled even more, as this entire Illusion Realm started breaking apart.

And then...

BA DUM!

BA DUM!

The loud sound of a heartbeat echoed across the entire world.

"Where do you think you're going, my little Sofia?"

BA DUM!

BA DUM!

"I HAVE YET TO FINISH MY MEAL, YOU KNOW?!"

And then, what resembled a gigantic black tree covered with red arteries, and a huge heart constantly beating emerged amidst the darkness of the void beneath.

With a single crimson eye on the heart, and countless arteries, veins of red flesh spreading across the rest of the black bark, this entity.

Its size was way past a hundred meters, a gigantic behemoth.

Without a doubt, this was the Nightmare Lord!

"W-What is that thing?!" Emily panicked.

CRASH!

"Uwaaahhh!" Alma cried. "Heeelp!"

Suddenly, the ground beneath collapsed as she fell into the abyss below!

"ALMA!"

Sofia and Emily screamed, as I quickly extended my hands into a ghostly form and caught Alma barely, lifting her up.

"Aahh! M-Maria... Thank you!" Alma cried. "I-I thought I would-"

Crack, crack...!

But as I managed to grab her and started lifting her up, countless of black colored wooden roots covered on red arteries rushed towards Alma, trying to coil around her body.

"Where do you think you're bringing her?! SHE'S MY NEXT MEAL!"

This shitty Nightmare Lord...

I've had enough of it already!

"Don't get too cocky, you piece of shit."

I harnessed the power of Death, Darkness, and Light in one of my hands, and pointed it into a finger-gun at the Nightmare Lord.

"{Umbral Death Blight}"

A beam of pure Death and Black Light was shot, followed by a dozen more, enhanced with my high stats, it pierced through all the roots trying to get to Alma within a split second.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"UGH?!"

The Nightmare Lord looked clearly annoyed and pained, his single eye locking on me, full of disbelief.

"And that wasn't even my strongest technique," I smiled. "Want to see something more interesting, you bastard?"

As I held Alma, Emily, and Sofia with my Shadows and Phantasmal Hands, a giant mass of black flames materialized in front of me, gathering Nether and Death within.

"{Abyssal Netherworld's Star}"

The sphere grew to a titanic size, the girls glanced in disbelief, their eyes widening in utter and complete shock. But that was to be expected, I'm strong as hell.

"Y-You dare...?!" the Nightmare Lord. "You dare believe you're stronger than me, the NIGHTMARE LORD?!"

The furious tree started to distort reality around us, as the Nightmares of Sofia gathered here, all together, the howling shadows, the creepy dolls, the ghosts, the statues, multiplied by the hundreds.

"Let's see if you can go against hundreds of all of these Nightmares!" he laughed. "SOFIA'S HEART SHALL BE MINE TO FEAST ON!"

"Maria!" Emily cried. "They're coming from every angle!"

"W-We can't even fight in this position! There's no footing at all!" cried Alma.

"A-Are you sure you can go against them on your own, Maria?!" Sofia panicked. "I know you're strong but... You'll lose!"

As Sofia screamed and the other girls panicked, realizing the full power of a Nightmare Lord, I didn't even flinch.

The gigantic sphere, the Abyssal Netherworld's Star, multiplied, suddenly dividing by ten.

"Nah, I'd win."

I combined the stars with a storm of void that I materialized a second later, and then send it all out against the Nightmares.

At once.

FLUOOOSH!

The storm of spiraling dark void and the umbral stars engulfed the Nightmares, disintegrating them one after another, while splattering deadly nether over the tree and then, eventually, bombarding it.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"Ungh?! AAGGH!"

The Nightmare Lord screamed in agony, as his Nightmare Barrier, composed of the

Nightmare Realm itself, began to rapidly shatter.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

I continued expanding and transforming this "Void Storm" and continuously destroyed any Nightmare that came closer, explosions bombarded the massive tree.

Until its barrier shattered.

Crack, crack...!

CRAAASH!

"No, impossible!"

The nightmare lord was left completely shocked as his barrier, composed of the very fabric of

this nightmare realm, shattered into pieces.

"That barrier was made of my own realm's structure! H-How can you break through space

itself?!"

"That's an easy task. Let me show you something even more amazing."

"Ah?! Stop! I've had enough of you!"

RUMBLE!

The Nightmare Realm distorted as thousands of tree roots and branches emerged from the skies, the ground, and even the empty air, piercing through space and reaching us within mere

seconds.

Each bark gathered Nightmare Energy and fired beams at me from all angles, aiming to

utterly vaporize us.

But nah.

That wouldn't work anyways.

"You're so weak it's funny."

I smiled, as my Moonlight Energy erupted from my body.

"{Mystical Moon Phase Circle}"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Dozens of silver moon-shaped mirrors materialized one after another, rotating around my

body and surrounding me.

Each nightmare beam that came forward was immediately absorbed and then fired back,

reflected, in fact.

And each reflected beam was charged with even more power than before, breaking through

and vaporizing every branch and root aiming to reach us.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Before, I couldn't abuse this skill as much as I wanted, but right now, after having been

gathering so much Moonlight Energy?

I could happily spam this skill as much as I wanted!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"You're reflecting my...?! My attacks!"

The Nightmare Lord was fucking stupid if he was just realizing that.

Nonetheless, I was already preparing another attack.

FLASH!

My body suddenly started growing larger and larger.

"Maria?!" Sofia gasped.

"W-What's going on!" said Emily.

"She's transforming again! Like she did before into a dog lady...!" said Alma. "It was like

Anubis, but this is different... A titaness?!"

Alma wasn't wrong, I activated my Titan Selene Skills, quickly transforming into my pure Moonlight Titan form, by using my [Lesser Divinity: Moonlight], [Divine Moonlight Titan Soul], and [True Titan Strength], I embodied a Titaness made of dark purple and pink

moonlight.

Because my Void-Born Outer Being Embodiment might be too scary and monstrous for the girls, I decided to go onto another, older transformation.

"T-This is amazing! I had no idea you had this power, Maria!" Sofia said.

"Uuoooohhh! So cool!" said Emily.

"Amazing!" Alma clapped.

"{Selene's Palm of Judgement}"

And then, I extended my palms towards the incoming branches, and the tree-like Nightmare

Lord.

CRAAASH!
