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

Chapter 43

I glanced down below at the bandit’s hideout; they were carrying more slaves with them.

Seriously, from all the cliches we had to get, there had to be a lot of slave abuse? Ugh.

The Goblin Chief was surprised as none of the goblins were recognized by our group, which means they probably came from another tribe of goblins…

But how? Did they steal them from another merchant?

I looked around and found a large carriage.

Was this slave week or something?

They did indeed catch a carriage filled with slaves, and the merchant inside was probably killed if there was one.

“What should we do?” The Chief asked.

“Isn’t it obvious? We’ll storm the place and rescue the slaves,” I responded.

“V-Very well.”

The goblins readied themselves, gripping their weapons tightly.

They should chill out a bit.

I used [Shadow Sneak], [Stealth], and [Erase Presence] to sneak into the hideout by carrying everyone inside of my [Shadow Storage].

And like I thought, I was able to do such a sneaky thing. In fact, it was pretty easy.

When I got near it, the small batch of goblins jumped out of my shadow, and the bandits were shocked.

“What?!”

The bandits began to scream in surprise, but Partner and I were faster.

We moved at a speed that they could barely see, and we began blasting their limbs away.

Partner used her spear to slice the limbs of the guy near her, who was sitting over a log enjoying some boar soup.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

“GRRYYYAAAAAGGH…!”

Blood sprayed everywhere, and Partner was so fast that she cut off his limbs in an instant.

He fell onto the ground, and the Goblin Chief came to finish him off. And without even explaining anything to the guy, a knife went in between his two eyes.

The goblins were ready to massacre.

We used our speed and deadly attacks to blow away the limbs of the initial wave of bandits that were outside.

I used my [Dark Gale] to slice them up easily.

Humans such as Bandits were nothing compared to a C-Rank monster such as me! I could kill them by merely glaring at them, but I wanted the goblins to get their sweet EXP, so I held back.

I continued slicing limbs as if it were the most incredible thing ever. There was undoubtedly something entertaining about seeing them confused and squealing in agony like pigs.

They didn’t even know who we were or what we were, but they died by the goblins one by one without ever knowing what happened.

Kuro kept a watch around while we continued our slaughter-fest.

“What is going on?!”

“Eh? T-They’re slicing their limbs?”

“Who are those two girls? They’re too strong!”

“A-Adventurers? No, heroes?!”

“Shit, run!”

A second wave of cowardly bandits came forth.

They were scared shitless of us and began to escape from the cave… Well, they tried at least as we immediately appeared in front of them.

I merely willed it, and slicing dark winds cut their limbs, with the group of goblins following us from behind like ducklings, slaughtering what we left for them in turns.

If all of them added damage to the bandit, they would get shared EXP, so they made sure to pierce their bodies several times with their weapons before giving him the finishing blow.

With this, each bandit died quite horribly… I even began to feel sorry for these guys, but that feeling quickly faded away when I started to simply not care.

I am so detached from my humanity at this point that I don’t even see them as people but as EXP bags and possible Undead materials.

The screams of the confused bandits continued as we began to move deeper into the cave.

There, we found a small group of tents with the slaves caged behind metal bars or being held hostage by the last dozen of bandits. They had knives near their throats, and the trembling goblins, elves, and even humans were looking at us with horror.

“N-Not a single step more, or we’ll kill them!”

“You guys, from where did you get these slaves?” I asked.

“Eh? Didn’t you hear what we said?!”

“And how come you all are so equipped? I doubt that the merchant carriage had everything for you,”

“T-That’s… a secret!”

“And why are you loaded with these boxes filled with dark potions?”

I looked at entire wooden boxes filled with black-liquid potions… They looked strange.

…

[Black Miasma Potion (C-Rank)]

A special concoction made from the extraction of the residual miasma of the Fragments of the Evil God. It is refined into a potion that temporarily enhances all stats while giving the user unprecedented supernatural strength.

Side effects include headache, vomit, fever, death, or mutation into a Demon.

…

Wow, what the heck?

“This looks pretty suspicious to me, not going to lie,” I muttered before explaining the effects to the goblins, and they were left speechless.

“Y-You bastards, what do you want to use these potions for?!” The Chief shouted.

“N-Not a single step, or we’ll kill them!”

Ah right, the slaves.

Alright.

I used [Shadow Sneak] and sneaked into the shadows, and in less than a second, I dragged all the bandits down with me inside of my shadow storage.

Yup, I can do that too.

“W-What the heck?”

“Where are we?!”

“It’s all dark!”

“Welcome to my domain,”

My voice sent shivers down their spines as they began to slash at the empty air.

I flew around and used [Dark Gale] consecutively.

In just 10 seconds, all of them were limbless and screaming in agony while losing large quantities of blood.

I rushed to the outside world again and threw them to the ground.

“Kill them. I can ask their souls anyways,”

The goblins grabbed their weapons as they rushed towards the defenseless bandits.

Slashy slash, stabby stab, they were all stabbed to death.

Even some slaves joined in as they hated these guys a lot.

Their eyes were completely filled with bloodthirst.

When everything was done, I had gained a nice amount of EXP, enough to level up once!
