Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 470 Storming The Abyssal Ant Nest
-----
"Then I am going…" Lucifer stepped forward, his entire body suddenly exploded into black smoke, his enormous draconic body, which he increased in size until it reached the size as big as a hundred meters emerged from within the black fog, his intimidating red eyes were easily spotted by hundreds of working ants walking around the tower they built for their nest.
"GEROO!"
Gero quickly moved forward as well, as Lucifer put him over his head to lift him off the ground, he was too slow to get there naturally. And of course, all other Undead were lifted by his Darkness Aura, which shaped itself like some sort of fog that caught them all, all my hundreds of mole and bird undead were going to be sacrificed now so we can make sure to distract them.
And as for my Mana? Well, I was recovering it rather quickly while I absorbed the natural Mana of the Dungeon itself. Dungeons have an awful lot of Mana, especially one as rich as this Dungeon, so it wasn't a hard time to just get it done with! The more Mana I absorbed, the more I distributed it to Emeraldine.
FLAAAASH!
As I saw Lucifer fly with the Undead, the enormous magic circle that Emeraldine built with us finally activated, an enormous glow of bright golden light and green light emerged from the ground, converging together as dozens of even larger magic circles emerged one after the other around the gigantic magic circle previously made by Emeraldine.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
"S-So many Magic Circles…" Laura said with surprise.
"Amazing… This is amazing!" Takeshi pointed out.
"Shhh, you two remain silent for now, let Emeraldine concentrate… And Laura, did you activated your Skill?" I asked her.
"Yeah! After I reached Level 40 the Unique Skill: [Twin Connection] can now connect with three people at once with me…" Laura said. "But it costs 1000 MP per second to stay connected…!"
"It's fine, I've got you as much Mana as you want!" I said with a smile. Even if the Mana of this Dungeon emptied, I had even more Mana coming from my own Dungeon as my connection with that Dungeon Core was strong enough.
Laura's Twin Connection Unique Skill ended evolving after she leveled up to Level 40, not only it grants her the ability to share up to 50% of the stats of those connected with her and vise versa, but she can now connect with up to three people at once. this means all of us. And as a result, we are also all connected together too. However, the bad thing is the gargantuan cost, 1000 MP per second is not something that many can maintain at all, a single minute is 60k MP!
However, even with all of that, my MP was continuously being restored as I put all of my mind into absorbing Mana and other energies, such as Life Force from this forest, turning it into MP as well. And all while I was eating hundreds of monster corpses too to restore even more MP through the power of [Phantasmal Stomach], which allowed me to turn anything I ate into MP. If food alone didn't do, I would begin to eat the entire forest, the dirt surrounding us, and even anything I had inside my Inventory as well. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
"T-This is an immense quantity of Mana…!" Emeraldine said while smiling. "I can do this… I can do this!"
FLASH! pan(da-n0vel.c)om
The Mana continued to spread across our surroundings, as her two Spirits suddenly emerged at each of her sides, floating around and blessing her with their elemental power. All of her conjured magic circles suddenly became stronger as a result, and enormous quantities of spiritual essence began to flow across her body.
Meanwhile, I saw Lucifer fighting with the help of the eyes of various Phantasmal Familiars I created out of my body to assist him, enormous swarms of flies and giant phantasmal snakes. Lucifer reached the nest and was immediately greeted with magic. All worker ants got together and started to conjure [Dark Blast] and [Dark Bullet] in unison, firing countless projectiles towards him as he evaded them swiftly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, Lucifer was incredibly strong and his Dragon Scales Skill was already pretty high Level at 9, so high he was able to let low-level magic bounce off his body as if he had an invisible barrier around his body. The magic was almost ineffective, and he loaded a powerful breath attack to start.
"ROOOARRR!"
FLAAASH!
The beam reached the tower, impacting it strongly.
BOOOOOOMMM!
Some of the ants ended falling off the tower completely, as the Undead led by Gero began to follow the these Ants and overwhelmed them with hundreds in numbers. Although they were easily being shredded by the Ant's deadly jaws, they were ultimately being overwhelmed for a single and easy to realize motive…
[Undead Detonation]!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless Undead I had painstakingly rise began to detonate themselves, exploding into a chain reaction. I had said this was a sacrifice because I was going to blow them up into bits to deal damage against these Ants. However, they were tough, many of them survived dozens of explosions until they ended finally falling into the ground. Gero had to take them down whenever they managed to somehow survive, while Lucifer was unleashing more and more beams against the tower.
However, his beam breath attack was rather… ineffective. I was quite surprised myself, but even his monstrously strong Death Dragon Breath Attack only left a few cracks around the enormous crystal building, mostly because as I said before, this was entirely made of crystalized Miasma, which was very resistant to the "Dark Spectrum" of elements, including my specialization with Lucifer, Darkness, Death, and Shadows.
Of course, there was another fighter in there, Partner. She was not only able to wield Darkness, but Blood Magic, which was still in the Dark Spectrum, but not as much as others. She quickly conjured thousands of Blood Blades one after the other, slicing through the Ants that began to attack with magic against her and Lucifer, the two resembled two very annoying wasps trying to eat as many ants as they could. The ants were panicking.
However… something suddenly emerged from the nest, and it had a humanoid shape this time…
