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

—–

In front of us a final boss already showed up! Well, it came from the third floor, and calculating based in my auto mapping, I can tell this dungeon has at least ten more floors. So it is probably fair to call this Metal Slime King has a “Mini Boss” although it is enormous and powerful. Lucifer, Partner, and Emeraldine looked at the creature emerge when the last few slimes died as their eyes sunk into their skulls. It was just that terrible! The thing was emanating a strong aura of intimidation as well, and it was as clear as water that this thing was controlling all the Slime Swarm we had been fighting so far!

“A Metal Slime King!” Said Lucifer. “I had once battled one of these monsters when I was alive… They’re incredibly resistant to physical damage! I smacked it so many times and even hit its core countless times but the thing continued being just as fine… These things are near-invincible.” Said Lucifer in shock. He seems to have had a bad time with them. “I never managed to kill one of them before…”

“Well shit.” I said, looking at the creature, I began to quickly think about ways to kill it. It was invincible to physical damage? Well it said it could resist it a lot but we might as well try, right? However, when I checked the creature’s status, I got spooked.

What the… what the fuck is this?! 99999 HP and Defense?! That’s almost… a hundred thousand! But his Magic and MP are only 1000! Maybe it can really be weak to magical damage? Magical defense is calculated using Magic Stat, half of it! However… this bastard got a few tricky skills to help him tank Magic, [Grand Elemental Resistance], [Grand Magic Damage Resistance], [Magic Damage Reduction]! The first Skill grants a +50% resistance to all elemental damage, the second Skill grants +50% resistance to all magical damage, and the last Skill decreases Magic damage by -50%! With that and the insane amount of HP it has, alongside almost zero MP for me to drain and sustain myself in this battle… he’s a strong bastard.

“Thousand Piercing Roses!” Partner roared, pushing forward to fight. “Let’s see how strong it is!!!”

Her spear moved swiftly as Blood Magic danced around her, the piercing blows of her spear hit the Metal Slime all around its body, dealing enormous holes one after the other. The giant Metal Slime King was too slow for the flashy Partner, who easily began to evade the attacks from the powerful creature. The slime could shape its body into many tentacles which the solidified into deadly spears that hit the ground, shaking it.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“It is powerful even though its slow…!” Said Partner. “And my attacks dealt… no damage at all to begin with! Its HP is constantly regenerating and it has insane HP and Defense…”

“I told you so!” I said, as we began retreating back a little bit. The Metal Slime began to spread out through the floor as it sought us. It was incredibly slow compared to us, but it easily broke through our barrier with its weight alone.

CRASH!

“Run!” I said, grabbing everybody with my shadows and pushing them away from the range of the Metal Slime, who seemed to be constantly growing bigger as it spread through the entire room.

“DRAGON METEOR!” Lucifer roared, flying up into the ceiling and transforming into a giant Death Dragon, and then infusing Mana all over his body and falling over the Metal Slime King with a single and powerful blow, like a true meteor!

CLAAAAAASSSSSHHH!!!

He hit the core of the Metal Slime King directly as well, but it was so hard that he barely did any damage to it! The Core itself was incredibly durable, and no normal person could easily break through it, not even Lucifer after growing this strong…

“I have grown so strong yet I still can’t even damage this thing!” Roared Lucifer in frustration, escaping the Metal Slime King’s deadly embrace as it was trying to entangle his body and consume him.

“What do we do then?” He wondered.

“I checked his status, he got three Skills that lower magical damage, but even then, we can still deal a great amount of damage based solely in how low its Magic Stat is.” I said. “We have to unleash all the magic power we got! Take these Mana Potions!” I quickly took out the Mana Potions I had bought from Julia. She had given me a lot of them when I requested it last night as a part of the payment. So we were stacked with refills!

Everybody quickly drank potions while we were evading the attacks from the slow Metal Slime King until we were refilled with Mana! After I saw my Mana being all the way up, I pointed my hands at the Slime and decided to go for a banger.

“Everyone, go after me!” I roared. “I’ll combine my strongest spells into one!”

Supreme Magic, don’t disappoint me now!

I quickly began to conjure Dark Sun, Dark Storm, Shadow Spear Arrow, Shadow Materialization, and Pandora’s Box! By conjuring all of them at the same time and merging their capabilities, an enormous mass of darkness began to emerge within my hands, building up bigger and bigger as I covered it in a materialized coverture as hard as metal!

“I’ll call this… Dark Meteor!”

FLAAAAASH!

The enormous mass of darkness flew down, covered in black flames and dark winds, and even pestilence and everything else I could load into it, falling down into the Metal Slime, unlike his Dragon Quest counterparts, he wasn’t speedy at all and couldn’t evade such a giant attack, it had to take it head on!

BOOOOMMM!!!

The enormous Dark Meteor hit the giant Metal Slime King, shaking its entire body and even its core. Several parts of its liquid metal body began to quickly evaporate and explode, as dark smoke spread out everywhere…!

However, the bastard was still there, standing. I had… barely done -20% of its HP?! Well, that was something still but I just wasted all my MP! And to make it worse, its HP was already regenerating back!

Nai wa…
