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

Chapter 1146: The Seas Have Been Freed



The people around Aquarose sighed in relief, despite Maria leaving behind most of her forces, they had barely managed do defend the city. The heads that Maria's group had cut off from the King of the Depths had infiltrated into the city's outskirts and started attacking,

summoning countless sea monsters.

With the aid of Catarina, Silva, Fabian and his friends, Takeshi, Laura, Tear, Celes, Nia, Violet, Arthur, and many Undead, they were able to resist the endless onslaught of monsters for these last few minutes, before they all started turning into ashes.

The portals summoning them also disappeared completely, revealing that it was all because of the King of the Depths, most of his heads had been destroyed though, but the ones that remained alive quickly turned into ashes as well, groaning in agony one last time.

"GRUOOHHH...!"

As they screamed, they slowly disappeared, the people watched in disbelief and awe, before raising their arms and celebrating, the monster that had tormented them for so long was finally gone.

"The monsters... They're all disappearing!"

"T-They won?!"

"Did they defeat that thing?"

"They did it...!"

"I can't believe it... They killed that monster that not even our Ancestor, Naiad, could!"

"That sneaky monster tried to attack everyone here when Maria and her allies were far away, thankfully she left behind her other half of her allies..."

"Yeah, what a relief!"

As the people celebrated, Tear and Catarina glanced at the distance, the surroundings, and then sighing in relief. They were still in high alert, but it seemed it was true.

"They are really all just disappearing! I can't believe it, were these monsters all made through magic?" wondered Tear.

"Would explain why they were so endless," said Catarina. "Though I can't complain, the EXP was superb! Right Silva?"

"Yeah I leveled so much!" said Silva. "I'm close to getting to S Rank!"

Silva had already evolved to A Rank, and her power showed, her Miasmic Boost Ability had expanded and evolved, granting her the ability to further evolve, transform, and give new power to anybody compatible with Miasma.

She was also able to use it on many more allies at the same time, enough to boost a whole legion of Undead with an even greater boost to all their stats and so on.

"I can't be as relaxed as you are, everyone almost died..." Tear sighed, caressing her necklace. "But well, we did it, and that's what matters... I finally helped saving a bit more people. To make up for all those I hurt."

"Heh, cheer up already!" Catarina laughed, patting Tear's back. "Just be happy you won for once."

"R-Right! Haha, thank you, Catarina," Tear nodded.

As the ghost and the ice giant walked back into the city, the rest of the defenders all gathered, mostly around the seats to sit down and chill, they were too tired.

"Ugh, man, I'm beat..." Fabian groaned in relief.

"We really had to go all-out, too much I would say..." Spectra said.

"Yeah, no shit..." Nick nodded.

"This was exhausting, but we grew stronger!" Garon said.

"Yep! I feel stronger!" Beery agreed.

The children felt much stronger than before, all these dangerous encounters and events were very not kid-friendly, but as they perseverated through them, they gained substantial amounts of power.

"What about you, Laura?" Takeshi wondered.

"I think I can already evolve to SS Rank, hopefully," Laura said.

"Me too! Do you think they'll let us join them for their main battles once we get that strong?" wondered Takeshi.

"Hmm, I don't know, they're going too fast," said Laura. "We need to somehow get to SSS Rank I think."

"Ugh, that feels way too hard! It's unfair..." Takeshi complained.

"Come on, we've been growing super-fast so far, its already ridiculous on its own, and you want to catch up with people that were already stronger than us when we first met?" laughed Laura.

"But what about Nyx? She wasn't that strong before..." Takeshi said.

"Nyx is a different case! She's a Dragon, a powerful one, so she grows even super-fast," Laura said, petting Takeshi's head. "Anyways, let's gather up with everyone else- Ah, Celes is over there, and Arthur-!"

"Hey guys! Arthur~!" Laura ran towards Arthur, whom she had begun to talk a lot with.

Takeshi could tell there was something going on with Laura, she definitely was slightly attracted to the boy, but well, they were close in age, and Arthur was also quite handsome and slightly cute, Laura's type, which is quite rare.

"There she goes again... She really likes him, huh? I don't know how auntie would react to this..." said Takeshi, crossing his arms.

"Ah, Laura, well done," Arthur smiled gently. "You're pretty strong even underwater."

"Ah, really~?" Laura laughed a bit. "You're pretty strong too, Arthur!"

She was acting so unlike herself that her brother felt slightly disgusted.

"Well I'm still trying to get used to my abilities..." Arthur said. "I still can't control this power well enough, but thanks."

"Auntie Maria must be getting here with everyone else!" Celes said. "If they defeated the

King of the Depths and all!"

"That's right, should we start cleaning up and helping the people in the meantime?" said Nia, Celes' mother. "Celes, Arthur, can you help heal some of the wounded people?"

"Of course," Arthur nodded. "Leave it to me, Nia."

"Sure!" Celes nodded, very obedient with his mama.

"I-I'll help however I can too!" Laura followed them from behind without losing sight of

Arthur, her crush.

As they rushed away, a gigantic, purple-scaled dragon gazing into the sea outside of Aquarose remained in silence.

"Just now... I felt something, I am sure I felt something, a presence similar to the dragons of old!" Violet thought. "Was the King of the Depths related to Sea Dragons then?! But that's... why would they ever go mad and attack innocent people then?"

Violet seemed concerned, but there was little she could do now, as the presence she felt before quickly disappeared.

"Oh well... At the very least they're coming," she looked at the northwest. "They're getting closer, so it looks like the monster has been finally slain. These seas can finally be peaceful

once more."
