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

Chapter 1175: New Spiritual Powers



Reading the new Spirit Skills I had obtained, their effects were pretty good, and the accumulation of passive effects and boosts was always a nice thing to behold. However, the most interesting thing I found was that the [Spiritual Heart] Skill came with unique Spirit Abilities!

[Spiritual Heart: Lv1]

A Skill that only those special enough to have forged a Spiritual Heart after contracting Five Divine Spirits can obtain, it embodies their own Spiritual Heart's growth, the more your Spiritual Heart grows, the more Spirit Abilities you will develop.

By connecting with your Divine Spirits that you've done a contract with, you will be able to channel their Spiritual Elemental Powers and seamlessly combine them like never before, while also being able to unleash specialized Spiritual Arts and Spiritual Techniques. When connecting your Spiritual Heart with your Divine Spirits and unleashing Magic or Techniques of any Spirit-type, your MP, Spirit, and Magic Stats will increase by 500% (+25% x Skill Level) and such techniques and spells will be able to ignore 50% of the foe's defenses. Slowly, you will be able to absorb their spiritual energies and refine your spiritual heart, forging it into a stronger form, larger, and capable of harboring even more energies. Once this happens, your spiritual heart will Rank Up, give you Bonus Stats, new Skills, Titles, and unlock new Spirit Abilities.

When combining your Spiritual Aura with the Divine Spiritual Energy of your Spirits, you will be able to temporarily channel 50% of their Stats and Abilities and use them as your own, while also being able to combine them into your Divine Spirit Aura and unleash devastating combined attacks and powers, whose damage will be based on 200% of their combined Stats plus 100% of your Spirit Stat.

Available Spirit Abilities:

Rank 1: [Divine Spirit Fusion] [Divine Spirit Armor Transformation]

I suppose this is where they're unlocked, right? And instead of saying Level, it says "Rank", which means that they're unlocked based on Rank and not as usual through Skill Levels.

Right now there were only two Spirit Abilities, Divine Spirit Fusion, and Divine Spirit Armor Transformation. I kind of wanted to try them...

So let's try the first one!

"{Divine Spirit Fusion}!"

Ding!

[You have activated the [Divine Spirit Fusion] Spirit Ability.]

[Please choose two Spirits you've contracted to temporarily fuse together into a Fusion Spirit for 5 Minutes.]

[Slot 1]

[Slot 2]

"Alright guys who wants to fuse?" I wondered with a slightly creepy smile. "This is fun, reminds me of Demon Tensei Games where you can fuse your monsters."

"W-What are you talking about?" Tyr muttered, feeling awkward.

"Okay, Tyr is the volunteer!" I said. "Who else? Right now I can only fuse two at a time."

"Chuuuh!" suddenly Medusa gave a cute sound.

"Alright, Medusa it is!"

"W-Wait a second Maria!"

Tyr complained, but didn't resist, heh.

FLUOSH!

[Initializing Special Fusion between Spirits Tyr and Medusa!]

Their bodies melted together, swirling around one another until something else was made, something big and monstrous...

[Success! Temporary fusion between Tyr and Medusa has been successful!]

[You have temporarily created the [Abyssal Space-Breaking Chaos Squid Spirit: Erebus]!] "GRUOOGH!"

The creature created didn't seem to have inherited Tyr's intelligence, as it groaned like a monster instead, it was a huge black and white squid, with dozens of long, slimy, and black colored tentacles, and three rows of huge and sharp crimson eyes across their long squid-like body.

Also, it was like three meters tall!

"Wow, it changed gyuhh!" Root said.

"Kyuuuh?!" Amethyst panicked.

"Guugh..." Obsidian kept his distance.

"Alright Erebus, tell me what you can do!" I said.

"Gerooohhhh..."

Erebus groaned, swirling their tentacles, and suddenly piercing the empty air with them, slowly sliding into there and disappearing completely.

"E-Eh?! Wait a second! So the space breaking thingy was for real?!" I asked. "A Space Attribute Spirit! Interesting! It's only five minutes long, but it could certainly be useful, especially to help my allies..."

After that, I asked Erebus to try several other abilities against some undead skeletons I had. It was able to delete parts of their bodies by destroying the space within those areas and could unleash powerful cannon beams that destroyed everything on its wake.

I don't know how strong it was, but Tyr being in the fusion probably made it super broken already, after all he was a "Spirit" that kept growing stronger with each Evil God Fragment I

ate.

Once it returned back to normal, Tyr complained he didn't like being the squid.

"Don't you dare do this again, Maria! It was very disgusting!"

"Yeah but you evolved into something with powers you don't have, so it's a plus!"

After that little experiment, I moved to using the second spirit ability.

"Alright now... Obsidian's turn! {Divine Spirit Armor Transformation}!"

"Geeeh?!"

The spider didn't really like the idea, but it was turned into a huge set of arachnid dark red colored armor which quickly encompassed my body, boosting my spirit magic power through the roof, and also giving me more defense.

Ding!

[You have used the [Divine Spirit Armor Transformation] Spirit Ability on your Divine Spirit

Obsidian!]

[The [Divine Demonic Arachnid Spirit of Sloth Armor] has been created for 10 Minutes!]

[The Armor's Durability and Spirit Power is based on 300% of the Spirit's own Stats combined

together.]

"Sleek!" I felt rather comfortable with the armor over my body. "Also lasts ten minutes! That's much more than the fusion... I wonder if I cold turn a fused Spirit into an armor? Hmm,

there's many new possibilities now!"

After I was done playing around, it was finally time to end this by opening some treasure chests and using some skill-related items and so on, which I had been delaying quite a bit.
