Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 15
—–
I looked at the equipment I just received.
…
[Dark Manticore’s Crimson Eye Necklace (E-Grade): Lv 3]
+40 MP
+20 Magic
+20 Agility
+60 Dark Attribute Damage
…
[Dark Manticore Venomous Snake Tail Spear (E-Grade): Level 2]
+100 Attack
+20 MP
+10 Agility
+Venomous Fang Effect
+50 Venom/Poison Attribute Damage
…
Wow.
This is amazing! This spear really does look nice on Partner, and it also has 100 attack by itself while giving her 20 MP and even 10 Agility! Additionally, the spear tip has the Venomous Fang Effect, which can leave deadly venom inside the foe’s wounds. It even comes with a plus +50 damage for the venom itself to boot.
Meanwhile, my new accessory gives me more of everything, and it even comes with extra damage of Dark Attribute, my main attribute! I guess the loot was worth the hard time.
Partner seemed happy with her new weapon despite never having used one. She was already practicing it eagerly, pointing at the air with the spear and releasing several consecutive attacks with it.
Wow, way to go!
And meanwhile, I equipped my new Necklace and glanced over my Status.
…

…
Hmm, not bad. My Defense is clearly way better than before, and so is my HP, but I still cannot compare to Partner, who’s built like a tank. Nonetheless, my MP and Magic Stats are rising quickly. I can see that I am even more of a glass cannon. But thankfully, my Agility reaches 70 with the equipment I got too, so I am now way faster than before.
Additionally, I got a wider MP pool, more Magic for more damage, and then there’s the extra dark attribute damage for my Dark Sphere and Dark Gale Skills, which are dark attribute skills. With that alone, my power might have doubled if not increased a bit more.
After that, what was left were the materials.
The entire Manticore ended being dismantled into pieces and made into stocks of items almost magically. I don’t know how that’s even possible, but I assumed it was due to the game-like world I was in… Or maybe the System did it for me?
I am also sure that I cannot use it on living beings. I had tried it in the middle of the battle, but dismantling something alive is impossible. It would be too broken. It seems to only work on corpses, but that might include things such as the undead…
But with this “ability”, gathering items for selling or using as crafting or alchemy materials could be cheap and easy. Although, I don’t even know if there are blacksmiths, alchemists, or anything in this world. Guessing by normal Isekai Swords and Magic worlds standards there should be all of that if not some more.
Suddenly, I realized Partner had learned a new Skill. In just these few minutes where I was taking a little break, she acquired the [Spear Thrust] Skill!
Was it because she had been thrusting her spear continuously without even taking a break for almost ten minutes? I think she was throwing a thrust every second. Perhaps there were some hidden conditions that she managed to reach due to her tireless Undead body being able to do it without any problems like exhaustion or muscle tension or whatever the living weaklings suffer.
Well, Partner is just awesome.
“Good work!” I shouted, petting Partner.
*Crackle!*
“Now that we took a break, let’s continue downstairs,” I said, leading Partner down below, as she walked at my side.
The stairs led below the second floor.
I remember Lucifer saying there were a lot of floors, around… 20? I think. But we’ll try to rush them through, so this doesn’t take too long. I don’t want to spend the entire day inside a Dungeon if possible.
However, on the first floor, we only encountered two monsters, and it wasn’t as infested as the dungeons I made out in my mind.
One of its reasons might be because it just emerged. Lucifer said that he fell here and that somehow, the ground absorbed his miasma, and this dungeon appeared, surrounding his body.
This is probably why he’s trapped inside. Maybe his body is way too big to get outside of the crumpled room he resides in.
I don’t know how I will get him out of there though, but we’ll see how it goes.
Right away, as we descended into the second floor, we were greeted by two slimy friends. One was black, and one was green.
The black-colored slime was stuck in the wall, so much that someone without good vision would think it was a nasty stain.
And the green slime was crawling over the ceiling and falling right on top of me-
“Uwah!”
I quickly evaded something I wouldn’t have been able to easily avoid before due to the speed in which the slime fell over me.
I also noticed my own increased speed, which made me a bit happy.
SPLAT!
The green slime splattered on the ground. The hit seemed to have hurt it a bit, and it was oddly slow; perhaps it was hungry.
[Green Toxic Slime: Lv 2] [Rank: F-] [State: Starving, Weakened]
I see, so you’re starving, good to know, bye-bye!
I quickly fired three Dark Gales towards its large and spherical core, which it exposed to the world when its slime body splattered over the floor!
SLASH!
CRACK!
The core shattered into pieces instantly, and the slime was dead just like that.
Thanks for the meal!
Ding!
[You’ve gained 60 EXP]
[EXP: [120/700]
This guy didn’t drop any equipment, sadly.
“Booo!”
The Black Slime noticed us at long last, it seems that it was actually sleeping, and the green slime was about to stealthy attack it and try to eat it or something.
[Black Slime: Lv 7] [Rank: F+] [State: Angered]
Angered? Bring it on!
Partner leaped into action before me as she wanted to try out her [Spear Thrust]!
CLAASH!
