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

-----

Ding!

[An Unprecedented event has happened! Your Bond with Emily, Alma, and Sofia has reached a completely new level!]

[Through the power of the {Unknown Dream Spirit} you have merged with their Dream Hearts and Dream Weapons, completely changing your appearance.]

[You have transformed into the {Mechanical Valkyrie Titan of Thunderous Azure Skies: Sigrun}! All your Stats have increased based on 500% of the Dream Power of all connected friends.]

[Your body is now encompassed by glistening divine light formed from the dreams and hopes of your friends! You can now use and combine their Elemental and Dream Weapon Powers into your body.]

[All Nightmare-type foes Stats are reduced by 30% when they're fighting you, and you can pierce through 50% of their Nightmare Barriers, which usually reduce all non-Dream-type damage. And all Nightmare-type Damage taken is reduced by 60%.]

As I transformed, I saw the system messages that popped up one after another, informing me of what I had become. And also why it felt like I had become so strong even the Nightmare Lord trembled.

"Alright girls, ready for round two?!" I asked them. "We're beating this bastard, and then we're getting out of here!"

"Yeeaah!"

The trio cheered in unison; they were more than ready for battle. Their Dream Essence flowed into my body, empowering my new transformation. I think this is the thing I missed, to get through this monster's defenses!

"Whatever form you took… It doesn't… fucking… MATTER!!!"

The Nightmare Lord roared, distorting space itself and appearing in front of me, his massive space-distorting claws rushed down. Space around the claws was bending before the force of his attacks.

"DIE!"

CLAAASH!

However, I intercepted his space-distorting claws with a huge weapon I created just now.

As the system message said, I could manipulate and combine the power of their Dream Weapons.

And Emily, Alma, and even Sofia happened to have incredible Dream Weapons.

"You've gotten very sluggish, huh?"

I smiled cockily, I allowed myself the privilege.

The weapon in my hands was a combination of Anubis Scythe and Alma's staff with Emily's armor. A huge golden bident that glistened with azure brilliance.

FLUOSH!

Azure waters swirled around it, and then large quantities of electricity erupted as I swung the bident towards the Nightmare Lord's chest. Oceanic water and electricity fused together, forming a deadly maelstrom.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

Each blow pierced through his defenses seamlessly unlike before! This was what I needed all along!

"W-What?!"

The Nightmare Lord saw in disbelief as his dimensional body wasn't going to save his ass anymore, as countless holes opened through his semi-transparent being.

"Let's go!"

"Defeat him, Maria!"

"Y-You can do it! I… I trust you!"

Emily, Alma, and Sofia's cheers resonated within my mechanical heart, as its electricity rushed through my body.

The Nightmare Lord roared back, attacking with his immense body, shapeshifting hundreds of tentacles to counter my bident's attacks.

"RAAAHHH!"

However, I seamlessly intercepted his blows with my bident, quickly destroying them one after another and decimating them from existence with loud explosions of thunderous waters.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"GUUHH!?"

The Nighmare Lord gritted his countless teeth as he quickly shapeshifted his entire body into a sphere of spikes, spinning toward me.

"How about this then?!"

CRAAASH!

I put the bident in front of me to resist the incoming blow, but it quickly shattered into pieces, breaking apart into light and disappearing.

"Ugh!"

My armor was incredibly tough, but it was beginning to be ground by the spinning spikes capable of tearing through space, dammit!

Nah, I'm not done yet!

I got my own magic too, and if I combine it then…

"{Heavenly Nether Star Rain}!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Suddenly, dozens of massive stars made of holy nether materialized around my body, as I fired them at once against the monstrosity.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The loud explosive attacks tore through his spikes and quickly weakened his body even further, as I rushed forward, channeling the powers of Emily and materializing huge metallic gauntlets imbued with electricity. Read chapters at empire

"{Divine Thunderous Gauntlets}!"

I swung my fists at lightning speed, punching through the monstrosity and leaving huge holes through his massive, dimensional body.

His recovery speed could no longer match the speed in which I was dealing damage to him!

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

"Uuuaaaaggghh!"

As he groaned in agony, his entire body quickly took another form, resembling a massive… wait, the archangel automata?!

"YOU BASTARDS!"

"The automata?!" Sofia asked.

"Right, that thing was born from his heart!" said Emily.

"It is technically like… the automata's dark side?" asked Alma.

"Whatever the case, we're beating his ass anyways!"

I rushed forward, flapping my large metallic feathered wings and reaching the Nightmare Lord, swinging my gauntlets against him as explosions of thunder echoed.

He intercepted my blows with blade and needle-like arms, slashing through the metal cleanly while attempting to gain some ground in this battle.

SLASH! CLASH! SLASH! CLASH!

However, it was quite evident who was going to win, as I materialized a golden staff above my head, and grabbed it with my wings.

"{Divine Thunderous Maelstrom}!"

I unleashed a massive tsunami-like attack, engulfing the entire Nightmare Lord into endless water that rapidly wrapped around his body, using the water's pressure to deal tremendous, constant damage!

SPLAAASH!

At the same time, the lightning within it electrocuted his entire body, breaking through his very structural existence, the dimensional body he possessed began to shatter like glass!

"M-My body is…! MY BODY IS DISSAPEARING?!"

"Of course it's going to disappear, you decided to merge with an already unstable Nightmare Realm! You finished yourself off like that, dumbass!"

"RAAAHHH! I'LL TAKE YOU WITH MEEEE!"

The gigantic aberration suddenly rushed towards me, spreading his entire body like a slime with hundreds of tentacles, attempting to latch onto me before disappearing.

"Oh? Did you want to hug me? Aren't you nice?"

I smiled, as I harnessed the powers of Emily, Alma, and Sofia.

My new friends, and people that I will protect no matter what!

We're getting out of here, and we're saving your world, girls!

I promise I will.
