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

-----

BAAAM!

With a mighty punch in the face, soft enough to not kill him, which Arachne was able to practice through fighting hundreds of her reflections, Seraphin was knocked out without dying instantly.

"Hehe! I win!" she said proudly. "See? I told you I would win! Why didn't you believe me? Dummy!"

Even while being unconscious Seraphin was mocked by Arachne, as his unconscious body was moved around while he was passed out, making the scene even creepier. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"W-What with that girl?"

"She freed herself from Seraphin's Mirror Dimension Domain?!"

"I thought he was invincible with that…"

"I guess there's some greater monsters out there than him."

"Oh my gosh, look at that face of him, he's completely ruined! His handsome face is no more, hahaha!"

Most of the students laughed at Seraphin's misfortune, after all, he was well known for being quite the hated asshole, that liked pranking people with his powers and then escaping from them once they got triggered.

Maria cheered too, with the rest of her family.

"Yeah! Well done Arachneeee!" said Nyx.

"Amazing!" Maria nodded, clapping. "She's so strong!"

"Wow, that guy's powers were very unique…" said Lucifer. "Wasn't he a bit too broken? Anybody else unable to break through space instantly loses if they get caught in that domain!"

"I guess that's why he has a history record of never losing," said Partner, smiling. "But Arachne beat his ass!"

"Hmph," Arthur smiled. "He shouldn't have messed with her, she's serious business."

"I-Is that so?" wondered Katherine. "A-Are you very close with this Arachne girl, Arthur?"

"Huh? We're friends," said Arthur, looking at Katherine while rising an eyebrow.

"Phew! I see! What a relief!" Katherine nodded cutely.

"…"

Arthur was beginning to find her odder as time went on.

"Mama's fight though, it still ongoing…!"

Celes seemed nervous, as he glanced Nia and Aquamarine fight.

After their brief introduction, they began to immediately battle.

CLASH!

Aquamarine was by no means weak, she was fast and strong, with incredible dexterity and footwork, moving rapidly around the battlefield.

Her rapier attacks were precise and piercing, constantly aiming toward Nia's weak points. Her neck, her armpits, her chest, and her legs to incapacitate her or surprise her.

Meanwhile, her crystal and water magic worked well together, as she fired crystal bullets whenever Nia lowered her guard, which exploded into swirling water around her body.

Yet Nia didn't just let her do whatever she wanted, she intercepted her rapier blows, never letting her strike a vital area.

At the same time she moved with the wind and her lightning, so fast that she evaded even the projectiles thrown at her as if she were dancing.

Aquamarine couldn't help but think that Nia's fighting style was both beautiful and refined!

She was literally dancing alongside her, as both did everything they could to win no matter what.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Her spear rapidly pierced through the defenses of Aquamarine, as her rapier footwork and her dexterous strikes weren't enough anymore.

"Despite her nice nature and appearance, she's a monster!" Aquamarine thought. "I've battled so many weapon-type dream warriors before, but nobody quite like her!"

Aquamarine had thought that Nia came from a poor country, and that her teachings weren't the best. That she wasn't as special as the other students.

However, she underestimated her greatly! Nia unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks, overwhelming her instantly after they had been on a stalemate for a minute or two.

And the reason? Mostly because Nia was getting used to her abilities and her new techniques and powers, and also to the flow of Dream Essence within her Tempestuous Thunder Spear Dream Weapon.

"{Thunderous Barrage}"

Nia's eyes glowed bright gold, as lightning surged from her entire body, imbuing itself into her spear and then releasing a barrage of several blows in a row.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

She never could have hoped that she would be fighting like this before. But after meeting Maria, her life changed forever.

Her powers had increased beyond her wildest dreams, and not only did she discover her elemental affinity of wind, but later, discovered the equally strong thunder elemental affinity.

Both of such elements went hand by hand, allowing Nia to become a powerful, fast, and lethal attacker like nobody else!

"Uugh!"

Aquamarine was pushed back even more, her crystal shields gaining cracks and shattering apart, leaving her with no more defenses.

She glanced at Nia defiantly, gasping for air as her rapier glowed bright blue, an aura of azure color encompassing the weapon completely.

"I'm sorry but I can't… I can't lose!"

Aquamarine charged towards Nia, as she unleashed her most lethal technique.

"{Azure Rapier Arts}: {Heart Pierce}"

Resembling a spear of pure azure water, Aquamarine merged with her rapier in that very technique, for that very split second.

She reached Nia, impacting her with tremendous force, and aiming to pierce her heart with all her might!

CRAAASH!

"Uuggh…?!"

Nia gritted her teeth, shocked of the tremendous power the girl released in that very last moment! This was clearly her trump card, a technique so lethal it could defeat foes above her league.

Yet Nia didn't give up.

"I'm sorry too! But I don't want to disappoint my beloved… Nor I want to disappoint my boy!"

Her eyes glowed bright green, as a huge shockwave of winds sent Aquamarine flying away!

BOOOM!

"Argh!"

Aquamarine screamed, quickly twisting her body in midair, kicking the air with a shockwave of her own Aura, and then rushing back to Nia for a second Heart Pierce!

Even as she was bleeding and looking roughed up, she couldn't allow herself to lose.

"RAAAHHH!"

"Your resolve… Is beautiful, Aquamarine!"

CLAAASH!

Mia encompassed her spear with her winds and lightning, blocking Aquamarine's attack with all her strength, as sparks constantly emerged from the clash between blades.

"But I also have my own resolve… And I am seeking to prove myself as someone that has changed for the better!"

Nia stepped forward, pushing Aquamarine back with her tremendous strength after leveling up so much, slowly and steadily, until…

"{Thunderous Tempest Dragon Thrust}!"

With all her Dream Essence, Nia pushed forward, destroying Aquamarine's rapier as a huge dragon of winds and thunder engulfed her!

BOOOM!

"I… truly lost…?!"

Aquamarine slowly fell unconscious, resting over the floor of the arena.
