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

-----

"What a cute couple! Now kiss!" I announced.

"S-Shut up! You! Come at me!" Roared the instructor as he had enough and got pissed off.

"Alright! We are starting then?" I asked, walking near him.

"Yeah, you can come whenever you want to," He said confidently.

His entire physique was suddenly shrouded in a powerful magical aura that enhanced his muscles and strength. Also, his blade shone with a red-hot aura, as if it was being covered in searing flames…

I checked his stats. He was as strong as a D-Rank monster, perhaps one at its peak. He was definitely on the stronger side and was probably an instructor within that Rank too.

"Don't really have to," I muttered as I waved my staff and shadow tentacles emerged from within his own shadow.

While we spoke, I also extended my shadows almost as thin as invisible threads and connected them to his, taking over his own shadow and using them against him— A pretty easy and normal trick to do.

"W-What the…?!"

The half-giant man had shadow tentacles wrapped around his legs and torso, and he used his blade to try and cut them off by force… But my shadows were stronger!

I just infused more mana into them and reinforced them through [Materialization].

"S-Such strong magic power…." Vennia muttered as she was extremely surprised.

"Uagh! I can't even move!" Cried the half-giant as he suddenly overcharged his weapon with mana and threw a powerful slashing attack at me.

CLASH!

I stopped the attack by generating a materialization of shadows, a Shadow Barrier!

"Oi! That could easily kill a normal rookie, you know?"

"I-Impossible… How strong are you?!" He muttered, completely dumbfounded.

"Pretty strong!"

I flew towards him and used my bare fist to knock him out with a nice punch to the chin.

I am actually weak physically, but he's a whole rank below me, so let's see how far I can go.

I reinforced and materialized my fist even more before punching him in the chin.

CLASH!

"Gryyeeggh…!"

Boom!

He fell onto the ground, barely keeping his consciousness awake.

I have to praise his resiliency! Must be the giant blood in his veins.

"Aghh… You pass…" He sighed.

"That's what I wanted to hear!"

I moved aside from the scene while cleaning my hands.

"Lady Mary, how strong are you exactly?!" Asked Vennia.

"Huh? I don't know," I shrugged.

I better not reveal any more than she has already seen.

"You… don't know?" She asked, still dumbfounded.

Emeraldine healed the instructor as he gained a second wind and began to pretend that the humiliation he suffered beforehand never happened.

Partner was next, and as he looked at her, he smiled cheekily. She only held her spear with a single hand and didn't even have armor.

"So you're a spear fighter? But you're not even wearing armor?" Asked the half-giant as he rushed towards her and attacked, using his blade to unleash slashing attacks at her continuously.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

However, Partner moved at a supernatural speed, evading his attacks incredibly precisely, and she even jumped onto the tip of his blade and used the handle of the spear to hit the half-giants neck.

CLASH!

"Uaggh…!"

Boom!

The hit was strong, and he fell onto his face, which slammed against the ground.

"T-This… You pass…"

He gave up more quickly than with me.

The truth was, Partner contained herself by quite a lot. Most of her attacks are very deadly, such as absorbing blood, or slashing with the blade of the spear, which is venomous, so she did a pretty good job at not endangering the life of the man.

He was healed once more as Lucifer was next.

The half-giant finally thought he could showcase some more of his strength as Lucifer looks like a skinny and small man in comparison to him.

However, the result came quicker than we expected. Lucifer punched his stomach, and the half-giant groaned in pain before falling to the ground.

He had hit a special sensitive spot he knew humanoids possessed within the stomach, almost crushing a core of the half-giants Mana Veins.

After that came the kids… and here we all got a bit nervous as they were going to definitely lose. The instructor allowed them both to fight at the same time because he underestimated them, as they were mere children.

I mean, their stats were clearly below him and all, and they were kids, so it was realistic for him to assume that… but surprisingly, the two knew how to fight at least one big man, and thanks to the weakened state of Lucifer who Emeraldine didn't heal this time, the kids used their abilities to make him trip to the ground.

Takeshi used his fishing rod to wrap the thread around his legs and tightly pressed them together. After that, Julia used her detonation to blast an explosive punch on the man's crotch.

Thankfully, he didn't suffer any damage to his libido, but the pain knocked him to the ground.

Hopefully he can still have children later.

The entire performance left the two speechless, and we got ourselves our Adventurer Medals faster than we expected. And after that came another thing, moving to the Job Changing Room.

It was nice to know that the Adventurers in this world can't actually see your status because… well, they simply can't.

Although there are ways to see other people's personal info, only a part of their true status can be given out, and the Adventurer Guild here had no such methods as they simply registered what they saw you were capable of. And to rank up, you had to complete higher ranked missions, as simple as that.

I moved to the Job Changing Room, a small room that had a sphere made of emerald crystal. It looked plain and ordinary, but Vennia said that just touching it would allow a person to see a list of Jobs they could change into, which was based on their specializations.

It is said that Monsters cannot change Jobs and that it was a gift of the Gods to the humans/demi-humans (and this is why they need a crystal to access it), so I don't know if this will work or not…

But here goes nothing!
