Why is my body disappearing?! WHY?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it's going to disappear, you decided to merge with an already unstable Nightmare Realm! You finished yourself off like that, dumbass!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really couldn't understand why this was all happening at all!

Nightmares are really quite something!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Did you want to hug me? Aren't you nice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled, as I harnessed the powers of Emily, Alma, and Sofia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My new friends, and people that I will protect no matter what!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We're getting out of here, and we're saving your world, girls!

He's about to die, one last attack!\" I roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the trio nodded, imbuing everything they had into my weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff and the gauntlets quickly merged together into a long, golden sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"{Heavenly Sword of Dreams}\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swung the massive sword against the Nightmare Lord, splitting his entire body into two halves, and then I swung it again, and again, and again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And again and again and again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SLASH!

There!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swung the golden sword and split apart space open, which revealed blue skies, right above the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I flew through it, and then appeared in the blue skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's return to normal for now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, what about Sofia?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is she not dying or something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly checked on her sleeping body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she seemed to be perfectly healthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was inside of her chest though, I had to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gently moved her over and then placed my phantasmal hand inside of her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I inspected the interior of her body where the Dream Heart would have been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no Dream Heart nor a Nightmare Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact there was nothing, she was a completely normal human being!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell? Then how did she survive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this because of how the Dream went?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe because she accepted her Nightmares and forgave them or something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those that were her parents...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Mechanical Heart she had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they're all the key to her sudden recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll have to investigate this later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I descended from the skies, but quickly decided to turn back to normal, putting the girls in my\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sent a telepathic message to my family, as I moved to the dormitories, the room where I\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>slept in specific.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I placed the three girls there, who were soundly asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geez, what do I do now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly I noticed the mechanical winged heart appearing out of my body, flying towards\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia, and then placing itself inside of her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I checked her body's interior again and noticed it was right there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait what?!

I'm glad you're back safe and sound!\" Emeraldine said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why did you come back from a completely different area?!\" wondered Nia. \"I thought\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>you girls were in the bathroom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah yeah, I honestly have no idea how that even worked...\" I sighed. \"But well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I decided to explain them what happened while they told me what happened on their side. Through the ego I left behind I could see some things, but not everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nightmare Demon that appeared out of nowhere was defeated successfully; the teachers got there a bit too late as the nightmare realm already disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they never said I was there with Emily, Alma, and Sofia, they had no idea of what\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>happened, and Sofia's safe from inspections or being told she became a monster or\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>something...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then I told them what happened on my side and everything...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it was really all for Sofia, that damn brat...\" Partner sighed, glaring at her. \"I should just\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>drink her blood already...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't do that...\" I said, patting her shoulders. \"She had gone through a lot, and I think all of them need to rest. I'll bring them to their rooms. After that, we should probably... go back to classes I guess? Only an hour and a half has passed after all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, don't worry about that, they canceled whatever little classes we had today,\" shrugged Partner. \"So we're free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh nice!\" I said. \"Maybe I should go investigate the family of the person I'm replacing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-06T14:07:57.851Z",1,"novelbin.me","3dae65941a22854b6ff978c3c256a208938b1a06e812cfe2cb61ff59236cdea8","reborn-as-a-ghost-time-to-build-my-undead-army-chapter-1248","reborn-as-a-ghost-time-to-build-my-undead-army-chapter-1246",1954,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-as-a-ghost-time-to-build-my-undead-army-cover.jpg"]
