Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army! - Chapter 1039 Swift Victory

Chapter 1039 Swift Victory

—–

The rest of the Vampires all perished before they could even do much. I weakened them using my [Divine Sunlight Body] Skill’s Ability [Baldr’s Armory Of Sunshine Weapons], which summoned hundreds of weapons made of pure golden divine sunlight, piercing and tearing their bodies to shreds.

Those that survived were quickly taken down by my family. I could have let them handle them, but they were still S Rank themselves, even at max level, and I didn’t want them to waste their time and energy defeating some random mobs.

Ding!

Well, not so random anymore though, the moment they died, I kept raising them into my loyal Undead. Well, not so loyal, their minds were fairly strong, and as formerly undead-like living beings, they had a degree of resistance against the mind dominion ability that a necromancer has over their undead creations.

However, with my other abilities, I was still able to dominate their very souls.

“If you don’t speak honesty right now, I am going to rip apart the information from your souls, and it’s not going to be pretty.” I spoke with a harsh tone of voice.

“Y-Yes, we’ll talk! Please don’t destroy our souls, master!” The black haired Vampiress cried.

“What’s your name, black haired woman?” Partner pointed one of her spears towards her face.

“M-My name is Kimiko, I’ve been a Vampire for sixty years now…” She sighed, looking at us with her big crimson eyes.

“Kimiko? Japanese name?” I wondered.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o/m Only

“My grand grandmother was said to be a Summoned Hero.” She said. “But my family… It was destroyed long ago. I am the sole heiress and well, I ended… becoming a Vampiress after I was given a choice by Lord Hendrick.”

“Lord Hendrick? Is this the one that sent you here?” Lucifer wondered. “Is he the one in charge of that city?”

“Y-Yes…” Kimiko closed her eyes expecting the worse to happen when she said that but opened them in surprise. “Huh? Why am I still fine? He said that if we ever revealed the truth, our souls would be damaged severely!”

“Oh, you must have been subject of some sort of Oath Curse.” I smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ve already eaten those the moment I reconstructed your souls and bodies.”

“E-Eh? Is that so… So we’re free… But we died?” Kimiko was still processing. “It truly doesn’t feel like that, it is as if we completely revived though.”

“It’s just that Maria’s Necromancy has reached such level of perfection she can do that.” Emeraldine said. “You’re still an Undead, but she remade your body to such level of detail it simply doesn’t feel like it is a corpse. As long as you have Mana, it won’t rot either.”

“A-Amazing… You’re truly Maria, huh? A powerful Dark Witch that was executed and then came back as a ghost to torment everyone.” Kimiko muttered. “I-I… I don’t know what to say right now. It has been so long since my mind has been consumed by the endless drive to drink blood we Vampires have. But my mind feels somewhat clearer, and colder now.”

“Maybe. Though Vampires shouldn’t feel that crazy, right?” I asked Partner.

“I do crave blood a lot of the time but yeah.” Partner nodded. “Not enough to cloud my mind and make you forget what you’re even doing or making you an obedient slave. That might have been some sort of Bloodline Power, like Progenitors have over the Vampires they raise.”

“I-Is that so…” Kimiko sighed. “Nonetheless, I am grateful…” She looked behind at the other Vampires. “We are grateful.”

“Unlike those warlocks you seem to have much cleaner memories, you’re not inherently wicked either, just beastly vampires.” I sighed. “But what you’ve done is still a terrible sin. You’ll need to work hard and answer every question I ask, if you don’t, and I detect you lying or being loyal to your former master again, I won’t hesitate on breaking and eating your souls.”

“Y-Yes…” Kimiko nodded nervously.

“Now, let’s talk.” I smiled. “First of all, tell me, how many children did you Vampires have trapped? And are the name Ash rings any bells?”

“C-Children… The higher ups that serve Lord Hendrick collect them in the underground dungeon. They ask us to kidnap them and…” Kimiko was trembling as she noticed my gaze becoming more intense. “I-I think they experiment on them, they use them as vessels for the Demonite Hearts they’ve been perfecting! And Ash, I don’t know who that is… Does someone, knows?”

She asked the Vampires behind her, the Zombie Vampires started talking with one another. Only three of them recognized the name.

“T-That is one of the brats- I mean, one of the children that ran away…”

“Yeah, but Lord Hendrick used him as a vessel to infect the Spirit Tree, right?”

“I heard that he was killed and that the elven forest recovered though.”

“Yep, that’s something we had to do ourselves, thank you for leaving such a mess for us to solve.” I sighed, crossing my arms. “Ash is fine and now living happily. We’ve been able to purify the Demonite Heart within him, and it now harbors the Soul of the Spirit Tree within that forest that died due to his infection powers. However, I remember that he said there were other children with him, someone that had helped him escape.”

“That’s the brown-haired brat, right?”

“He got caught recently…”

“He was managing a whole group of other escapees but- Hyee!”

I grabbed the neck of the Vampire Zombie and lifted him up.

“Keep going.”

“A-And they’re in the dungeon, the dungeon area below the palace! Y-You can’t enter easily there! T-There’s a Divine Blood Barrier set up!”

“Are the other children there too? How many?” I asked.

“They are! There are many sectors… Three! There are not only just children, but other mortals also captured have been put there!” Kimiko said behind me.

“…Is that so?” I sighed. “Then you’ll have to tell us exactly where these areas are.”
