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

Chapter 1174: Maria, Master Of Spirits



The spiritual rivers of all five of my Divine Spirits reached my heart, from Tyr, to Amethyst, Obsidian, Medusa, and Root, all imbuing their mighty divine spiritual powers inside of my chest, which I held on with my own internal spirit power, which was rather faint compared to theirs, and which I actually couldn't control as much as I wished.

FLUOSH!

"Come... on...! There... there!"

Slowly, I felt as if the swirling elemental spiritual energies began to slowly solidify, crystalizing into a single organ, something solid and as crystalline as it could get. Slowly, all of the swirling energies were encapsulated into a heart-shaped crystal.

Tyr's Chaos Element.

Amethyst's Poison Element.

Obsidian's Demon Element.

Medusa's Water Element.

And Root's Nature Element.

The balance wasn't the best, three very destructive elements with two nature elements, but it would have to do, because I practically had no other way of doing it.

"Ugh...!" I groaned. "Come on...!"

There was still a bit of swirling power trapped inside of the Spiritual Heart, and it was taking an awful lot of time to crystalize fully as I wished! The chaos, poison, and demon elements went well together, but water and nature wouldn't accept them, constantly clashing and generating tiny shockwaves of black lightning.

If this continued, it could threaten to shatter the Spiritual Heart, and that would be a HUGE problem I would rather avoid at all costs! So I quickly spent all my spirit power and mana and forcefully crystalized everything, even if it hurt quite a fucking lot!

FLAAASH!

"Fuck, that hurts!"

RUMBLE!

However, once it was finally crystalized, my Spirit Power skyrocketed, as I felt my entire being connected to the Spiritual Heart.

It was completed quickly and painfully, but just as quickly, I received that power boost!

"W-Woah...!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

I felt the Divine Spiritual Energy of Chaos, Poison, Demon, Water, and Nature Elements, swirling together around my entire body and hands.

It was like an invisible, protective layer of power, and it was intrinsically connected to the elements and also to my Divine Spirits themselves.

"Phew... it's done..."

Ding!

"Sweet! More Stats and the Skills gained three bonus levels, even the new ones?! This is way too good!" I celebrated. "Hahaha! Now... Uh, wait a second, there's none of the powers promised!"

"Obviously you need to cultivate your Spiritual Heart to obtain them first, Maria!" Tyr groaned. "That'll take you a while, so be patient. Did you thought you would get a Spiritual Sanctuary right away full of new Spirits to contract? Don't be delusional, fool!"

"Ugh, do you have to be so mean?!" I grabbed his big-eyed head and pressed it tightly.

"Aaagh! Ouch, ouch! Is this how you treat your Spirit?!" he screamed.

"Shut up, you're just an old man actually!" I laughed. "Anyways, do you guys feel any stronger?"

I looked at my Spirits, as they all nodded on their own ways, they seemed to have gotten larger, and their elemental spiritual auras have become stronger as well, so they definitely grew.

And...

[Spiritual Heart: Lv1]

A Skill that only those special enough to have forged a Spiritual Heart after contracting Five Divine Spirits can obtain, it embodies their own Spiritual Heart's growth, the more your Spiritual Heart grows, the more Spirit Abilities you will develop.

By connecting with your Divine Spirits that you've done a contract with, you will be able to channel their Spiritual Elemental Powers and seamlessly combine them like never before, while also being able to unleash specialized Spiritual Arts and Spiritual Techniques. When connecting your Spiritual Heart with your Divine Spirits and unleashing Magic or Techniques of any Spirit-type, your MP, Spirit, and Magic Stats will increase by 500% (+25% x Skill Level) and such techniques and spells will be able to ignore 50% of the foe's defenses.

Slowly, you will be able to absorb their spiritual energies and refine your spiritual heart, forging it into a stronger form, larger, and capable of harboring even more energies. Once this happens, your spiritual heart will Rank Up, give you Bonus Stats, new Skills, Titles, and unlock new Spirit Abilities.

When combining your Spiritual Aura with the Divine Spiritual Energy of your Spirits, you will be able to temporarily channel 50% of their Stats and Abilities and use them as your own, while also being able to combine them into your Divine Spirit Aura and unleash devastating combined attacks and powers, whose damage will be based on 200% of their combined Stats plus 100% of your Spirit Stat.

Available Spirit Abilities:

Your Spiritual Heart will develop and grow as your Spirits grow too, you must always prioritize their growth, feeding them Spiritual Treasures or compatible Materials will increase their stats, affection, and the possibility of evolving into higher Spiritual Forms. As a Spiritual Heart Master, you possess several new passive abilities. While your Spirits are close to you and based on their Affection, you can share up to 50% of your total Stats and skills with them and viceversa (Minimum of 10%).
