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

-----

Maria and everyone else watched attentively the matches of their friends and family against these new opponents, all students of the same year as Gabriel and Martina. Gabriel quickly recognized them all too.

"Ah, it's them…" he sighed.

"You know them?" wondered Maria.

"Care to share some insight about them?" asked Lucifer.

"Eh, ah, well, I've never spoken to them more than two lines, but yes I do know who they are," said Gabriel. "Among all three of them Eduard might be the calmest, but he's also very stoic and scary… Katherine is… She's scary too, she is always laughing at people and is cocky for no reason… T-Then there's Junio, uh, he's weird."

"Weird?" asked Emeraldine. "How so?"

"I… don't know, he's kind of strange, like he acts like a child…" said Gabriel. "Um, his Dream Weapon is hard to understand as well, you can see it there, it's a bunch of toys."

"Toys, huh?" Maria wondered, rubbing her chin. "Well, there's no way that Partner would lose, so I should be worrying about Arthur and Emily instead…"

"Katherine, what does she exactly do?" Emeraldine wondered.

"She has… Uh, well her Dream Weapon is also kind of strange," said Gabriel. "Spheres of Light, and she can summon a lot of them. Most people wrongly mistake them for magic though, but they're solid, like glass."

"And she can summon many?" Maria asked.

"Yes… They're a rare type of Dream Weapon…" said Gabriel. "Eduard is the most simple and direct of the three… Well, let's see what happens."

The boy didn't seem to know much more than that, Maria looked at the battles unfold one after another as Professor Hendrick gave the signal for everyone to finally start fighting.

"You must be Emily," said Eduard's stoic voice, as he stood proudly over the arena, his body much more muscular and taller than the tomboyish Emily. "Nice to meet you. I've been hoping we could fight, after all, our Dream Weapons are quite similar."

"Oh yeah! Eduard, right? Let's have a nice fight!" Emily nodded, preparing her fists as they released electricity. "So we got similar types of Dream Weapons, huh?"

"I assume so!" Eduard nodded, fully covering his body with a hard armor made of incredibly harder stone, making him look like a golem with glowing yellow eyes made of crystals. "But I wonder… if we even have the same hidden abilities too…"

"Heheh, yeah, I wonder the same…!" Emily smiled.

FLASH!

The two charged against one another, leaving traces of their powerful Auras as their armored fists clashed against one another, releasing explosions of stone debris and lightning.

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

At the same time, Arthur held his spear tightly and calmly glanced at Katherine, who was surrounded by six floating spheres of light.

"Is that magic?" wondered Arthur, asking her directly, while he contained his Aura.

"Ah, maybe, pretty boy," giggled Katherine. "It would be nice if I could win against Maria's brother. It would probably give me a nice reputation."

"Yeah, it would be nice for you I suppose." Nodded Arthur. "Should I let you win and forfeit then?"

"Oh?" Katherine smiled. "Would you do that for me, pretty boy?"

"Of course," nodded Arthur. "I'll do it right now."

"Oh my, are you serious? W-Well, if you insist…!" laughed Katherine. "Then you could do it right now and-"

FLASH!

Arthur charged towards Katherine in that moment, his powerful Aura of Yin and Yang harnessing and swirling together, taking a golden and black color encompassing him.

"I was joking."

Before she could react, his spear reached her chest, which she protected by wearing some light-weighed armor.

CLASH!

However, he ended hitting one of Katherine's Light Spheres, giving it countless cracks before it exploded right in front of his face.

Crack, crack…!

"Yeah, I guessed as much," she smiled.

BOOOM!

An explosion of glass particles and light covered Arthur's face and eyes, making him scream in pain as he was forced to step back.

"Ugh…!"

The total damage wasn't that much, but the glass in the eyes was actually a deadly strategy, more than he imagined.

"Heh! What? You thought you could troll me or something? Come on brat!"

Katherine commanded her Light Spheres, as they flew towards Arthur at rapid speed, unleashing beams of light against him.

"I'm not stupid."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Meanwhile, the third battle had started at the same time, Partner confronted the strange Junio, a boy with sharp shark-like teeth, and silvery-white, messy hair covering his eyes.

He was also wearing a big, black and white hat, giving him a strange overall appearance. However, none of this mattered more than what was actually happening right now. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

"What in the world is this?!"

Partner swung her spear, attacking dozens of giant toys that were constantly charging against her. Giant teddy bears with sharp metallic claws, wooden nutcracker soldiers, toy dinosaurs made of rubber, dragons and giants composed of plastic blocks of all colors.

They seemed weak on their own, but they were surprisingly durable, Partner had to attack them several times to pierce through their defenses, and whenever they died, they exploded, dealing additional damage.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As she continued trying to get to Junio but being constantly swarmed with giant toys from every single angle, even including green colored toy soldiers and plane toys that shot hundreds of bullets at her, Junio laughed.

"Heheheh! You're trying soooo hard to get here! Is it hard? Are you having a bad time maybe? Hehehe! My toys are fun, right? Let's play! Let's play! Don't be boring!"

"Ugh, shut up!" Partner roared angrily, her Aura growing larger and larger. "I'll fuck your toys right up!"

She unleashed her Aura of Blood and Darkness, quickly conjuring powerful Blood and Darkness Magic and unleashing a storm of piercing Blood Crystal Spikes against all her foes.

The toys were pierced one after another, but then exploded, surprising her once more as a dozen explosions engulfed her in a deadly embrace from every single angle.

"Ugh, dammit!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
