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

-----

"Mama, are you worried?" Nyx asked, sitting over my legs.

After we sat around a bone table over bone-made chairs, I saw my daughter talking to me as usual, she seemed to have stopped asking for her dad.

"A little bit, but nothing too much," I said. "If anything, I am expectant for what's coming… We must make sure their Authorities don't hit us like before, alright Nyx?"

"Yeah, I know," she nodded. "Everyone here is super strong, mom, I think we got this."

"You think so?" I giggled. "I hope so too, I would wish we could win this easily… but aside from the Nightmare Demons or even their King, there's something else, something darker conspiring behind them."

"…A scary monster?" She asked. "The one that attacked you before?"

"Yeah, the one that got really angry I didn't turn into another Nightmare Demon even though I absorbed a great deal of that power," I explained. "We're beating that monster too, but for that I might need my next evolution."

"Oh, it's not done yet?" She asked.

"Nope, but… I can feel it might," I said with a smile. "Your father's evolution might be over soon enough, so expect him at any time."

"Sure! I wonder how strong papa will become!" Nyx said, as she was eating from a bag of chips.

"Pretty strong! So don't worry," I said. "I wish we could wait for him, but we better just go and let him appear midway through, we don't want to waste too much time after all, dear."

"Right…" She nodded. "So what's the plan?"

"Alright, it's a pretty simple plan, so listen well, I'll tell it to everyone here," I said.

Like that, I explained my plan of using the Barrier Formation to stop the Nightmare Demons from escaping using the Doors, and quite literally trapping them all in there.

"So we'll be trapped with them?" Sofia asked. "A rather bold move, just how many Nightmare Demons will we even fight?"

"Beatriz, do you know how many are there?" I asked her.

"It really depends on if they all have gathered, but my father and my siblings are definitely in that castle, I can feel their powerful presences from here," Beatriz said. "And about the other small fry? Don't know, but there's at least a few hundred…"

"Few hundred…" I said. "Magnus, do you know what type of Nightmare Demons stay in that castle?"

"I have only gone there when called," Magnus sighed. "And… well, usually they only keep the strongest around, so even if they're a hundred, don't expect lesser ones like my army, they'll all be powerful Nightmare Demons with their own Powers and Authorities… Albeit only the King, his wife, and his children can unleash Nightmare Realms. That's why they're so strong and that's why we respect them and even worship them as gods. Our aim as Nightmare Demons is to grow strong enough to also be able to create Nightmare Realms, the ultimate technique that we can use to trap foes and destroy them, an instant win ability."

"Instant win, huh? Well it wasn't that instant win, we already got rid of two of his kids," I said with a smile. "I don't think they're that invincible. But yes, they're dangerous and annoying. But I'm also prepared to confront those."

"Truly? Well, if you think you can do it…" Beatriz groaned. "Wait, does it have to do with us?!"

"Heheh…" I giggled maliciously. "Don't worry, you, Magnus, and the Legion will work very hard to help us win. I would enslave- I mean, contract more of your kind if I could, but we're in a hurry, so that amount will have to do."

"You're seriously the worst; how come you aren't a Nightmare Demon yourself? You would fit just right in our society…" Beatriz groaned.

"Haha, maybe I'll become one of your kind very soon? Who knows?" I laughed, without them realizing I actually meant it. "Alright, before we go, let me check everyone's equipment and weapons…"

I got a lot of System Points too, and in fear of what Nightmare Authorities could do, I decided to go ahead and create armor and accessories that were also Dream Weapons.

These were unique Dream Weapons that anybody with a Dream Heart could use and channel their power and could even be taken back and given to someone else.

I think such technology hasn't been created yet…

Inside of my Shadow Realm, I was using the Formation I was creating to fuel a "Nightmare Forge" of Nightmare and Dream Flames, where I processed Nightmare Beast Materials and Materials from Yggdrasil into rings, bracelets, earrings, and necklaces.

I had thought about armor, but then I decided to turn these accessories into actual armor, as their special ability, they could create armor that could repel Nightmare Power and temporarily stop Authorities.

Using all of my power, it was more than possible, especially with all of this Nightmare Power Stat I've been growing.

Ding!

"Alright, take one of each of these, everyone." I said. "Everyone should have one ring, one necklace, two earrings, and one bracelet."

I quickly shared them with everyone, and it was just enough for everyone, even for me. I had a last set for Lucifer once he wakes up, but depending how strong he becomes, he might not even need them.

"Rings and bracelets?" Wondered Alma. "How is this… Ohh?! Are these Dream Weapons? I can feel their power connected to my Dream Heart out of nowhere…"

"Me too!" Sofia said. "This is incredible, Maria, you can even create Dream Weapons from nothing?!"
