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

Now that Partner had her spear done with, her amazing Stats will combine with the weapon nicely, receiving an insane boost to her damage dealt and all her Stats in the process. Right off the bat she gets like +30000 Attack. She already has a lot of Attack so the +30000 Seems small in comparison, but it is actually pretty fucking big.

And not only that, but Partner also doesn't just use a single weapon, nope, she uses two spears when fighting, and she does so amazingly well. The other Spear is new but not as amazing as the newly forged classic spear she always had. So she quickly took it out from the leather she had the spear wrapped around and quickly gave it to Baldur.

​ "How do you like yer new spear- Eh?"

"Now this one! Enhance this one as well!"

Partner gave Baldur her second spear, which was pure black in color. It was her secondary weapon and she has been using it a lot lately due to her other spear being almost about to break. It had no ability to level up, but it was quite good from the beginning as it dropped from strong monsters back in the Affnaria dungeon that was boosted in power by the Vampires.

"I see, so you want this one enhanced as well? I'll upgrade it with the Synthesis forge technique then. I am quite tired so after this one I'll take a break. Is that okay?" Baldur wondered.

"Yeah don't worry about the details." I said. "You're still an old man, don't overexert yourself."

The problem and the major inhibitor stopping the twin dwarves from doing all our weapons a nice upgrade was their age. They were too old, which meant they got tired very quickly. Potions or anything worked a bit, but they'll still grow tired, and it wasn't a good idea to force an old man to work harder even if we gave them more potions.

"Very well then, I'll use another of these shiny Demonite ores as well to enhance it. They seem particularly powerful." Said Baldur. "Where did you found these?"

"Yeah I was wondering the same." Balladur said, the twin of Baldur, who was working around the workshop with Darfu, the slightly younger dwarf  that was like their apprentice.

"Oh yeah, we found those crystals inside the Dungeon we cleaned the other day." I said.

"The Abyssal Ants grew them to feed on them. They seemed to possess the ability to excrete a miasmic-like substance which crystalized into Demonite. It is the way they feed upon. Most of the time they were using thousands of monster corpses to boost the crystals growth, they seem to grow faster by absorbing blood and other things from dead bodies." Emeraldine said, she had analyzed everything rather well.

"So that's how it was." Baldur said while nodding.

"Those damn ants… Do you think you could domesticate them?" Wondered Balladur.

"Eh?" I wondered. "Well, we killed the queen and the only ones left are the ones I turned into Zombies. I don't know if they can do the same as when they were alive, but I'll give them the idea. Maybe leaving a small area to grow these Demonite wouldn't be so bad… although we got a ton of it." I said while rubbing my chin.

"But aren't they dangerous? There's even higher quality Demonite but it is too toxic for anybody to handle, right? We can only use Lesser Demonite that is weaker because it is the least toxic one." Partner said. "Also if we are using the dungeon as a farm for the dwarf country growing more Demonite would be bad, they need a lot of Miasma to grow, right?"

Partner quickly stopped me from doing something I had not thought completely.

"Ah, you're right…" I sighed. "I guess we can't produce more. What we got is everything we'll ever have for now. It is a dangerous ore so don't get addicted to its power you guys."

"This Ore is used to create Demonite Crystal Hearts on the twins, which were also used on the chimeric monsters that one scientist was experimenting on. And that Vampiress we fought was as well equipped with these powerful crystals, the higher the quality and power they are, the stronger they can affect a body and mutate it. She was almost about to become some giant demonic thingy back then. If you guys ever dare handle those crystals you might die. I don't think wearing the living armor will suffice for protection this time around." Emeraldine said.

"Hmmm… The only way this ore could be used is by someone immune to Miasma… Such as me or Lucifer. Maybe Nyx as well." I said. "I guess I've gotta learn Forging and the like. Well, I have already learned Farming, Mining, and Alchemy, I bet it won't be THAT hard."

"Then are you taking classes with us Maria?" Laughed Baldur.

"Well if you really want to learn we can't really reject you." Balladur said.

"But! If you want us to do all these weapons an upgrade we are going to be too busy. So Darfu, come here." Baldur asked for Darfu, as he ran here. He was on his own area of the workshop working.

"What do you want now?" He sighed.

"Teach Maria the way with the hammer." Said Baldur.

"What? Lady Maria you want to learn such a rough job? Not many women like to-"

"Hey Darfu don't come with that excuse now, don't be lazy and just teach me okay?" I asked while crossing my arms.

"O-Okay, very well Lady Maria." He sighed.

"Hahaha, bossy as always." Laughed Baldur.

"We aren't going to teach you anything new until you manage to make Maria learn the Forging Skill you hear me Darfu?" Balladur said.

"Okay, I get it." Darfu nodded, feeling more motivated. "Lady Maria, how about we start right now? Are you busy?"

"Not much? I was going to go to the alchemy classes with Emeraldine though…" I said.

"It's fine, you can spend a few hours trying to learn Forging, I'll go teach Partner more of the basics meanwhile." Emeraldine said, leaving her bow over the table. "I also want this one upgraded if you can."

"Damn even the knife ears is bossy…" The twin dwarves sighed.
