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

Chapter 1201: Surpass Your Limits Right Here, Right Now 1



The moment Maria broke open the Manor's ceiling and flew away with the Nightmare Demon, Sofia, Alma, and Emily were left speechless, they didn't even understand what she was talking with the Nightmare Demon but felt relieved it was gone... yet worried at the same time that Maria just went to the Nightmare Realm Void without even hesitating!

"Ahh! Maria went to the void!" Alma cried. "She's in danger in such a place, it has been proven that there's barely any oxygen there! It's like jumping into outer space! People can't survive in there!"

"We need to do something and help her!" Emily said. "Jonathan! Aren't you worried?!"

"Maria's strong," said Jonathan. "There's nothing to worry about, just trust her."

"Yeah, why are you panicking so much?" Partner yawned. "Calm down."

"Even if you think she's strong, is she even strong enough to fight against a Nightmare Demon?! They're one of the strongest Nightmares that can appear inside Fractured Nightmare Realms!"

Sofia seemed to be quite worried, surprisingly. Although her worry was more into the consequences that Maria's death would cause and how that would affect her life, rather than her being specifically worried about Maria dying.

"I don't think we can worry about her anyways..."

Partner smiled, as she noticed that from within the hole in the ceiling, giant creatures started coming out, disfigured monstrosities of many shapes, constantly twisting into memories of people and their traumas and hatred.

"Aahhh... I don't want to work anymore... I'm so tired of WORKING!"

A giant zombie-like ghoul nightmare appeared, resembling an old office worker crying blood, whose arms and legs were tied to black chains, slowly crawling inside the manor.

"I hate them! Why is every girl prettier than me?! WHY?! WHY?! WHYYYY!"

A spectral nightmare resembling a woman with tons of makeup in her face, slowly tearing her face apart with long claw-like nails emerged, constantly screaming.

"Everyone is such a scum bag at school... I'm tired of it... I don't want to be bullied anymore... STOP...! STOP! STOP! STOOOP!"

And then a monstrous creature made of flesh and tentacles, with the slight appearance of an overweight high school boy emerged, constantly wailing while eating its own hands.

Partner and Jonathan didn't recognize these Nightmares at all!

"T-Those are Trauma-Grade Nightmares!" Sofia gave a step back. "They harbor so many Negative Emotions that they become embodiments of Suffering and Traumas..."

"Hoh, they're pretty tough then, eh?" Partner smiled, summoning her two spears. "Nice for a warmup!"

"STOP BULLYING MEEEE!"

The fat fleshy Nightmare screamed, its giant body began convulsing, vomiting acid everywhere, which rapidly began melting the wooden floor, walls, and ceiling.

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

Partner, who recklessly charged to fight, was hit by the acid head on. Her armor made by Maria resisted, although a lot of it ended melting, burning her skin beneath.

"Ouch! Agh! Dammit, that hurt!"

If it ended hurting someone at SSS Rank like Partner, that could only mean one thing, these Nightmares were all SSS Rank at the very least!

"Partner! Don't charge recklessly! We have to work together as a team!" said Jonathan.

In that moment, another splash of acid rushed towards Partner, but Jonathan quickly conjured

a giant shield of light, which blocked the acid and then sent it back into the Nightmares.

SPLAAASH!

They screamed in agony, quickly rushing forward in anger and pain. The Nightmare resembling an overworked office worker reached Sofia, opening his jaws, and aiming to eat her whole.

"I'M SO HUNGRYYYY! LET ME EAT AT LEAST! NOT EVEN A BREAK FOR HAVING LUNCH, YOU GREEDY PIGS!"

"[Stx-Winged Archangel Automata]!"

Sofia screamed, as her Automata surged from thin air, quickly swinging its many pointy arms at the Nightmare, and destroying its huge, extended jaws, its teeth were sent flying into the

air.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The automata's wings made of light blades were fired right after, piercing through the Nightmare's big, bulging eyes, and making them explode, black blood splattering into the floor.

"GRUUUAAGH!"

With a scream of agony, the office worker nightmare stepped back, covering its wounded face with its hands, at the same time as the chains on its limbs suddenly started moving on their own, hitting the automata from left and right.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

The automata resisted the attacks with its incredible resilience, grabbing the chains and shattering them apart with powerful and strong blows using its sharp spear-like arms.

CRAAASH!

"Looks like Sofia can handle that one...!" Jonathan thought. "But the other two...!"

He noticed that Partner was fighting against the giant and greasy fleshy Nightmare, constantly piercing its fat body, and making pieces of its acidic flesh fly everywhere.

"Ouch! Dammit, this thing's so dumb!"

She was doing fine, as a vampire her regeneration factor was strong, so Jonathan didn't think

she would struggle.

"She'll be alright..."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Then, he noticed the third Nightmare screaming in anger, her giant, red-painted claws slashing at the air, unleashing giant waves of pink-colored flames at Alma and Emily. "WHY?! WHY ARE YOU PRETTIER THAN MEEEEEE! IT'S NOT FAIR! WHY WAS I BORN UGLY?!" The furious Nightmare unleashed her pink flames, Alma desperately summoned her Dream Heart Weapon once more, conjuring barriers of spiritual water.

"[Water Spirit Staff Undine]: {Water Barrier}!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The flames impacted her barriers, which shook and then splashed water everywhere. Alma quickly conjured more and more barriers. They weren't really that strong but could withstand one attack before being destroyed.

"Dammit that cowardly thing is not getting closer!"

Emily quickly covered her body with her [Metallic Thunder Sentinel Armor] once more, as electricity started coursing through her body.

"Alright then, I guess I'll have to try that technique I've been practicing for months..."

She smiled, as Alma noticed that a lot of Dream Energy was gathering in Emily's fists, rapidly

glowing brighter.

"Emily?! What are you doing? You'll empty all your energy like that!"

"Well! What else can we do?!"

The tomboy stepped forward, her golden fists quickly unleashing all the electricity she

gathered into them at once.

"Look closely, Alma! I'm no longer just an armor or close combat-type fighter! I'm more than

just that! And you too can change! What our weapons are doesn't mean we're locked on their

original abilities!" Emily roared.

"{Thunder Dragon Breath}!"

A giant blast of golden lightning erupted from Emily's armored fists, reaching the Nightmare.

BOOOMMM!!!
