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

-----

The three last children of the Nightmare Demon King, who had survived this entire ordeal until now, and the strongest of them all, unleashed their Nightmare Authorities! Each one shaped differently based on the Fears they embodied as Nightmare Demons.

"Here it is, their Nightmare Domains, be careful!" Jonathan said. "Whoever wants to come slay that monster that eats, you're free to join me! Charge!"

Jonathan was given the task of commanding Maria's troops, a job that would usually go for Lucifer, but because he was evolving, that would have to wait.

RUMBLE!

The two armies clashed in that moment, the Nightmare Demons behind the children of the Nightmare Demon King unleashing their Nightmare Power, their Fears taking the form of many abilities and attacks.

At the same time, the three children of the nightmare demon king, Emperatriz, the Embodiment of Pain, Glutton, the Embodiment of Hunger, and Payasa, the Embodiment of Humiliation, unleashed their powerful Nightmare Domains, embodying the power of their even mightier Nightmare Authorities.

And yet, the accessories Maria had created activated in that moment, creating powerful Nightmare Armors around their users, literally everyone that wasn't her undead or the other nightmare demons!

FLAAASH!

And in that moment, the nightmare demon king's children learned that they were screwed, their domains instantly bouncing back to them and only being created halfway through, distorting reality around them but remaining mostly weaker than before, much, much weaker!

"W-What…?!" Payasa panicked.

"How is this possible?!" Emperatriz couldn't believe it.

"Eeehee?" Glutton laughed in amusement.

Usually, when a Nightmare Demon of their level unleashes their Nightmare Authority and their Nightmare Domain, they can trap any foe inside and unleash an absolute power that can defy even their foe's powers.

This was how Maria and her friends were trapped and turned into children before, losing memories and having their powers sealed too.

But now, it was different, without being capable of trapping a foe within a closed domain, the Nightmare Demons were much more exposed, and their power could not work as properly either, reduced to less than 50% of their original power and effect.

"Looks like Maria's tech worked as intended!" Emily said.

"Yeah! She did it!" Alma nodded happily. "She's amazing!"

"I suppose now it's up to us…" Sofia smiled.

"Let's do this!" Martina nodded.

The four girls charged forward, clashing against the incoming nightmare demons! Emily swung her thunderous, metallic gauntlet fists, punching through her foes and pushing them back, the nightmare demons fought back, claws, bites, and deadly magic, elements and darkness, webs and floating bones, and yet her armor protected her, freed her from restraints with lightning, and then helped her pummel them into the ground until they became unrecognizable messes.

Alma in the other case fought with more caution, remaining behind Emily as she used her staff and her magical powers, unleashing downpours of rapidly swirling water, freezing her path forward and then manipulating the frozen water into giant frost claws or projectiles, overwhelming her foes one by one.

Sofia's movements were fast and precise, and this combined with her magic unleashed a rain of weapons made using Metal and Light Elemental Magic, alongside her rapid spear attacks, kicks and punches, the nightmare demons coming after her were bullied into submission by this charismatic young lady's bright fighting style.

Martina in the other case brought along Egolatra, while she wielded Illusions to shield, trick, and "troll" her foes, Egolatra swung her comically large hammer, crushing and flattening her foes into nightmare demon pancakes, which were then killed by her other friends.

Payasa glanced at the scene, growing ever more confused and afraid of what these humans could do! The strangest thing was that she knew these four girls, they were all important "characters" within this world, which had undergone the loop many times. They had lived many lives, many experiences, each one of them lost. Some of them died in previous loops, eaten, killed, or lost.

And yet now, for the first time, these girls had grown to the point where they cold go against them, throughout all of the loops, this was the first time this trio of "useless fodder" was now doing something!

"You damn fodder characters, you truly believe you can do anything against me?! The loop ends now, and even if you try to fight back, it's useless! A new age for our kind is coming. You humans should get ready to become our cattle!"

As she said that, Emily, Sofia, Alma, and Martina noticed her hands spreading and her Pseudo Nightmare Domain twisting and warping, manifesting part of her powers into the world.

"Sure, we can't use our domains entirely, but so what?! We can do much more anyway!"

She raised her hands upwards and then the power of the Fear of Humiliation, the embodiment of such a Nightmare, was unleashed.

"{Clown Circus Nightmare Arts}: {Humiliation Ritual}!"

FLUOOOSH!

Suddenly, the four girls found themselves surrounded by countless specters, which took the form of all the people throughout their lives, both family, friends, students, everyone.

"Alma! Why are you so damn fat?!" her grandmother appeared. "This is not how I raised you! What would your father say?!"

"Yeah, what would I say?! You're ridiculous!" her father appeared.

"I am disappointed in you; you're not my daughter!" her mother said.

"Sofia, what is this ridiculousness?! Are you seriously going to act like a savage and come fight these demons?! Come back home immediately!" her father roared.

"My daughter… why…? just why did you let me die?" her mother asked.

"EMILY! WHY DID YOU LET THEM ROB YOUR BIKE, YOU STUPID FUCKING BITCH?!" Emily's father appeared, angrily shouting at her.

"We will take away that guitar from you!" her mother said.

"Big sis why are you disappointing us?"

"Please come back home already!"

"Big sis!"

"Hahahaha! Look at the nerd! Is she trying to act all cool wearing makeup and clothes like those?!"

"No way, what would this loser not do to be popular?"

"She'll never be really popular like we are, right? Hahahaha!"
