Quite big, right?\" I giggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it was realized we noticed it, the gigantic vines of hundreds of meters long started rushing towards us at a faster speed, as if to not waste time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suppose it was a pretty accomplished ambush predator if it knew how to react to these situations so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SHAAAAHHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud hissing sound unbefitting of a plant and more fitting for a snake of some sort, the ground shook and cracks spread through the forest floor while the titanic mass of red, spiky vines rushed towards us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through its red and black bark, several crimson eyes opened one after another, glaring at us menacingly while the giant \"branches\" aimed at us, trying to crush us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah well, we’re starting out with battles already, huh? I wonder if I can turn this giant thing into an Undead, wouldn’t it be cool?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three attacks came rushing our way, powerful enough to blow up giant buildings with ease, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, that wasn’t that strong, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Abyssal Barrier was more than enough to block these attacks without much of an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using my Abyssal Barrier Skill, the evolution of a previous Shadow Barrier Skill, it was easy to turn my own darkness and nether into a powerful barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its durability is based on my Nether Stat and also my Mana and Magic Power applied to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I can even further strengthen it using Nightmare Power, making the barriers extra thick against the mighty Nightmares or Nightmare Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, since what happened to us with that one Nightmare Demon that turned us into kids, I always have one active, which reacts to any damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if the monster is strong enough, they could destroy it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vine Monster didn’t give up, beginning to unleash a barrage of powerful attacks without end, attempting to break my Abyssal Barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, mama, your barrier’s really strong... that huge monster has no chance!\" Nyx was quite proud of me. \"I wonder if I could break it though?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn’t recommend you doing that, dear... not for now,\" I giggled lightly. \"Let’s see, I’ll take care of this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gathered my Mana into my eyes and activated an old Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Gorgon’s Five Cursed Eyes}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TRUUUM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a powerful cursed energy encompassed the entire vine monster, its eyes began bleeding as it suddenly fell to the ground, twitching in agony, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it couldn’t turn into stone as I planned, but it worked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Skill had become more and more obsolete as I fought stronger enemies with immunity or resistance to curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a neat trick I found out was that by adding Nightmare Power into my eyes, their power and effects amplify a LOT.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You took it down with just a glance?!\" Lucifer asked. \"Wait, it’s those eyes! I didn’t know they still worked...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They had become weaker over time as we faced stronger enemies resistant to curses, yeah,\" I nodded. \"But by adding Nightmare Power I can improve their effects- Oh look! It’s already dead. Poison, Bleeding, and Paralysis with just a glance, pretty deadly, huh? I don’t think it can work as fast with Kaiju-type Nightmare Beasts though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vines ended dying on the spot, I could feel their gigantic, crimson and black colored soul emerging from the corpse slowly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It died already?!\" Emeraldine was shocked. \"That’s incredible...! Have you ever evolved that Skill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope, it has been sitting around for a while now... Maybe it will evolve once I evolve,\" I said. \"For now, this giant vine monster is pretty interesting. Let’s see... Rise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Creation of Death}!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used my advanced Necromancy Skill, turning the gigantic dead vines into an Undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FLUOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An explosion of shadows and crimson energies engulfed the entire thing, as nightmare power surged through every vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its dying eyes opened again, becoming pitch black with red pupils...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its spikes became longer and pointier, and the thing even gained long jaws around its bark now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woah! A Vine Monster Undead? Looks cool!\" Nyx said. \"What name are you giving it, mom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A name, huh?\" I wondered. \"Alright, let’s go for... Thorn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FLUOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I named the Vine Monster, it suddenly gained a stronger aura, its vines became thrice as thick, its spikes even longer and pointier, and it gained even larger eyes and jaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow, it became an eldritch plant horror!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretty cool what Nightmare Beasts can become as Undead, they’re like Undead on steroids, even more when given names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I am not going to give names to every single one, only those I see some potential in them, this giant vine monster was pretty special, so I choose him... or her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>",1063,"2026-06-06T14:08:02.040Z",1,"novelbin.me","c731721f044ea6b4d7c62a3b7f69a2c4e18f2a1a3b867e56b7e7a79872d96d0e","reborn-as-a-ghost-time-to-build-my-undead-army-chapter-1466","reborn-as-a-ghost-time-to-build-my-undead-army-chapter-1464",1954,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-as-a-ghost-time-to-build-my-undead-army-cover.jpg"]
