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

—–

Once we managed to get to breakfast, we relaxed and ate to our heart’s contents. Aquamarine and Ruby came quickly after, alongside Helga and the dwarves. They seemed to have been preparing something themselves, and didn’t merely wanted us to do everything for them, as they wanted to provide their help.

“We are ready.” Aquamarine nodded.

“I am glad we managed to get them just in time.” Ruby sighed.

“Huh? What did you get?” I wondered.

“Heh, come outside to see!” Helga quickly led me outside.

And then, the dwarves showed us what they had brought.

It was a row of a dozen enormous golems made of hard, magic-imbued steel and enchanted with holy light magic. They shone brightly with silver and golden colors, and were tall, resembling old school robots with big, round heads without necks.

They also held enormous weapons with them, including giant riddles, missile launchers, and more. There was also one of them packed with weapons all over its body, which Helga quickly jumped over the top of it.

“W-What?” Lucifer reacted in surprise.

“Golems?” Emeraldine wondered.

“S-So many!” Partner was fascinated.

  “They’re so cool!” Takeshi was impressed.

“Can we use them?!” Laura was excited to be able use them.

“I mean, you could try but I am fairly sure you’re stronger than them, so it would be a bit useless.” Laughed Aquamarine. “These amazing golems are our latest season ones. Ruby and I invested some of our money to get these done the moment you said you wanted to carry on clearing the Sealed Miasma Dungeon.”

“Wait, really? But you didn’t had to…” I said in surprise. “This feels like overdoing it… Also, sorry if I sound harsh, but wouldn’t it be better if you guys don’t come to begin with?”

“Heh, and that’s where you’re underestimating us.” Helga smiled. “These amazing golems are not your run of the mill simple golems, they come with the [Transformation] Ability, the [Metal Assimilation] Ability, and the [Combination] Ability!” Helga laughed. “These are the latest models we’ve made! Pure dwarven technology!”

I had never heard of such types of Abilities! But I guess much like bombs, golems can also come with their own abilities, right? I guess it makes sense. But I think I understand Helga. I can get why they’re different.

They can transform to adapt to many situations, absorb metals to become stronger and also repair themselves if broken, and then combine if they need even more power.

I suppose these dwarves are too stubborn to be left behind. A squadron of 13 Dwarves using the last model golems will end up joining us.

“And they come equipped with special, highly valuable materials. We added several Holy Stones to them, which allow these golems to use Abilities such as [Holy Aura], [Healing Light], [Holy Beam], amongst others. They need charging their mana frequently, but the dwarves can also supply their own Mana.” Ruby smiled.

“We’ve equipped them with tons of accessories that increase their Maximum Mana capacity.” Said Aquamarine. “Also, in yesterday’s raid to the dungeon, all of them leveled up a lot, most of them are comparable to B- Rank now, with enough equipment added to their bodies.”

Amazing… I never thought the Dwarven Squadron would get this strong this quickly… I guess I’ve been underestimating their willpower this entire time. They are just amazing… And gosh, I want some golems myself! I think only the highest ranked undead compared to their prowess.

“Amazing, with those spells, they’re perfectly suited to enter that miasma-filled dungeon.” Said Emeraldine. “I guess going in also requires the golems to protect from the miasma itself.”

“They’re like the living armors you made, master.” Partner said.

“She’s right, what will happen to Emeraldine and Partner if we go in as we are?” Lucifer wondered. “Also, Brunhild, do you feel confident you can withstand the miasma?”

“Don’t worry about it, I had devised a Spell for this, I imbued it into several accessories through alchemy, using some of our newest materials for their creation.” I told everyone with a confident smile.

“Oh, where are they?” Wondered Emeraldine.

“…I have yet to make them though.” I laughed a bit.

Everyone looked at me while narrowing their eyes.

“I-I was going to do them soon! Don’t get angry now…” I laughed nervously. “Anyways, we are already strong enough, we can withstand miasma more easily. I can also just conjure the spell on you guys directly for the same effect. The accessories will simply keep it on continuously.”

“Yeah, I mean, I can withstand miasma just well. I got the Corruption Resistance Skill some time ago… I think because I’ve had too much sex with master.” Partner rubbed her chin. “After all her very being is covered on miasma and stuff…”

“Huh, I see…” Aquamarine smiled at me.

“So that’s how it is…” Ruby said as well.

“Huh… That’s quite the sneaky way to get resistance to miasma.” Helga analyzed.

“Indeed, a very interesting way, gahahahaha!” Blackard and the other dwarves laughed their lungs out.

“Ugh, Partner don’t talk about private stuff so openly!” I reprimanded her.

“A-Ah, sorry!” Partner apologized. “I got a bit carried away… Ahahah…”

But she’s actually right now that I think about it… My entire body produces miasma yet it is not harmful to them, for some reason. The more closer we are and the more used they get to my presence, the more they develop a resistance to it.

Then Emeraldine and Partner already hold the [Corruption Resistance] Skill, which is the one related with Miasma-type damage. Looking at their status, the skill itself is already Level 3 in the two of them!

…Damn, I guess what we did last night was really worth it, huh?

Nonetheless, the golems that Aquamarine and Ruby spent millions of coins into commissioning were ideal for the raid. I thought we could handle it ourselves, but the more aid we have, the better.

I cannot bring my top Undead with me because I left them all protecting my place, at most I can bring armies of lesser undead, but they can only buy time against overpowered foes such as powerful Dungeon Bosses.
