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

1051  Divide And Conquer

-----

We divided and conquered. Three teams, as quickly as possible. The vampires didn't stand a chance. With my divided powers I was still vastly overpowered. And I could share any ability between each other, such as my power to meld within darkness and hide inside of it.

With that, we were able to easily capture any vampire we found, kill them, and move on. Through all three routes. Eventually, we reached the end of every route after killing like four hundred vampires, it wasn't anything worth nothing, they died almost instantly from one of my attacks, though I left my friends and family kill them by ganging on them to get the most EXP.

Eventually, we reached the sealed and guarded facilities. The guards were still completely unaware of what was happening, though I was sure they would get a wing of it very quickly.

"So what do we have for dinner?"

"I don't know, more blood?"

"I think you could enjoy something else, like death for dinner, no?"

"Death? No that's really dumb who said that- Aaah!"

CRASH! The two guards in front of me were quickly impaled by my black tentacles, surging from my head. I absorbed them inside of my shadows and moved out, behind me appeared Nyx, Tear, Takeshi and Laura, who I have brought with me.

"Here we are." I said, looking into the distance, ignoring the dozens of Vampires rushing here. "See that building over there? I am fairly sure that's the facility."

There was a huge metallic building right inside the dungeon, it was at least as big as a noble's manor, completely reinforced with metal and many runes and barriers, probably to be able to contain the people they experimented on, as they often gave them powers.

"You! What do you think you're doing?!"

"Dammit, who are they?!"

"I don't know, just fucking kill them!"

"RAAAAH!"

The Vampires attacked, first with a myriad blood projectiles and shadow projectiles, shaping their magic into all sorts of forms. I stepped forward, as a Void Barrier emerged out of my body, the projectiles were immediately reflected.

"You'll need to bring me something stronger than a God for me to even see a challenge." I smiled. "Tear, Takeshi, Laura, make sure to kill them without my help so you get the most EXP."

Laura conjured infernal explosive chaotic flames with her bare hands, summoning spheres of fire that exploded everywhere she launched them. Takeshi released his domain of the sea with his special weapon, as he transformed his fishing rod's thread into a deadly ten-headed metallic hydra, his abilities over the control and shapeshifting of his unique skill's weapon have grown with the weapon's power.

These two alone made sure to defeat most of the Vampires coming here, while I shielded them from all attacks, so they could go all-out without worrying about much of anything. They have already gone through a lot of challenges, so it was time for them to relax and have some fun leveling for once.

Tear was the same, her ice spread rapidly everywhere, freezing everything she touched or glanced at, her abilities were developing really well, evolving with each level. I hadn't mentioned it earlier, but she was SS+ Rank, so it was naturally harder for her to level up quickly.

Nonetheless, she was already getting closer to her max level, and so was Takeshi and Laura who were A+++ Rank. I was hoping that my System would also influence them and give them stronger stats, more classes, and physique and divine flames ahead of time, though I don't know how to even give a divine protection to begin with.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The entire place was cleared of vampires in a couple of seconds at most, not even a minute, almost a hundred of their corpses left behind. As I walked forwards, they were all risen back as Undead, and then immediately "tamed".

"Open that facility." I ordered them.

"Y-Yes…!"

Unable to fight back against my commands, they all worked together to deactivate every Runic Arrangement set over the barriers, and then, opened the doors of the facility, all of them.

As I stepped inside, killing the vampires that jumped on me by merely waving my hand and deleting them out of existence with a Void Wave, I looked at my surroundings.

There were at least three hundred people inside of here, in the underground, and in every other large room, all gathered together like miserable cattle.

Over half of them were all children, the other half mostly young adults or old people.

It made me feel so much anger, but I had to calm myself down, I greeted them with a gentle smile.

"I've come to rescue you. The vampires, as you've seen, have been slain." I declared. "I am Maria, a former witch that was executed unfairly years ago. I came back as a ghost, and I've come to free all of you and kill all those that brought my demise years ago." I declared my existence to them immediately. "Come with me, I will bring you to a safe place."

"A-Ah…"

"B-But…"

"Maria, you said Maria?!"

"S-She must be that vengeful ghost that killed all those damned nobles in the other duchies, remember?"

"That woman?!"

"Is it really you?!"

"Please help me, my daughter, they have her in another facility!"

"My son…!"

"My mother, they took her!"

"Calm down, it will be okay. As of right now, they're being rescued." I smiled. "Enter inside my Domain for the moment."

I opened a portal to my Soul Scape, where the people started to enter, they didn't have much of an option right now. Those that were unwilling to be rescued were rescued forcefully, I didn't had time to reason with them, so I just grabbed them and threw them inside.

"And now, this…"

After walking downstairs towards a small and sealed room, I found a crimson-colored cube, emanating a large quantity of Divine Blood Energy.

"Bon Appetit."

I grabbed the cube and swallowed it completely, devouring it and crushing it into pieces.

Its divine power was quite rich!

The same scene was repeated two more times, as my other bodies did the same in the other facilities.

Sadly, my brother was in none of the three.

This means he could only be with Hendrick, that bastard.

Well, unfortunately for him, his damned barrier is finally gone.

Crack, crack…!

CRASH!

The crimson-colored divine blood barrier shattered into pieces. We were already back in the surface, standing over the rooftops of the houses.

The palace protected by the invisible barrier was finally open for us to enter, the people down there was secured, and now I had an army of eight hundred Vampire Zombies to boot.

"Hendrick, if you don't come out yourself, I am going to knock the door myself, and you don't want me to do that."

As I floated in front of the palace, hundreds of soldiers, with many vampires mixed within them, appeared, pointing their weapons and magic circles at me.

"I-Intruder!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Don't let her inside!"

"Attack! Fire!"

A hundred spells were fired against me, fire, ice, winds, lightning, and more.

"Fine, if you want it this way…" I sighed. "Then let's play."
