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

Chapter 1142: Herald Of Nothingness



Maria had attained a new form, a new Stage, and one that further defied the laws of physics and the world around her.

The very emptiness of her soul, of her heart, of her origin core, it became a power she wielded, and perhaps even the origin of the Void Element she attained.

{Void-Born Outer Being Embodiment}: {Second Stage: Herald of Nothingness}

TRUUUM!

"H-Huh?!"

Before the King of the Depths could realize what happened, half of his body had disappeared, as an invisible wave of Nothingness devoured it all.

It was so fast he was unable to fight at all, he only started at his own wounds, only for him to scream in agony.

"UUUAAAGGH!"

As he screamed in pain, Maria woke up from her daze, rushing towards the girls and prioritizing their life rather than defeating him.

"Nyx! Arachne!"

She had no time to pay attention to her new form, their lives were in danger!

There were huge holes in their bodies, one piercing through Nyx's stomach and the other piercing through the abdomen of Arachne.

They were alive, barely.

Once more, Maria used her powers to heal them, sacrificing her own life.

"{Paladin's Life Sacrifice}!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

FLUOSH!

A bright golden light covered Nyx and Arachne's unconscious bodies, the holes in their bodies quickly regenerated instantly, in exchange for Maria's life.

Ding!

[You have activated the [Paladin's Life Sacrifice: Lv1] Skill! You have sacrificed 40% of your Health to the two targets, completely healing them from all wounds and restoring them to their completely healthy appearance.]

[The healed targets will additionally receive a [Holy Blessing of Protection] for 1 Minute, that will increase their Health Points Regeneration Speed and their Defenses by +120%]

[At the same time, you've received a buff to your stats based on 55% of the stats of the two targets you've healed for 1 Minute.]

[However, for this Minute, you won't be able to heal your own Health, be careful.]

Although she had to sacrifice a lot of her Life, it was totally worth it, the girls were now safe! "Ugh...!"

However, the sheer pressure of her transformation, coupled with her suddenly losing forty percent of her Life quickly made her feel a tremendous pressure over her entire body, as if she could barely hold herself from exploding.

"You have to rest for now, girls," she spread out her shadows, taking the girls inside her Shadow Realm to rest, before a giant draconic claw made of azure sea essence and divine celestial light clashed against her!

CLAAASH!

"AGH!"

Maria was thrown down several hundreds of meters, feeling her flesh being torn apart by the King of the Depth's tremendous power.

She noticed his missing body had regrown using his powers, although entirely made out of pure divinity, the crystal on his chest had gained a few cracks.

Whatever was inside was in pain, she could hear it.

"Why won't you DIE already?!"

Maria rushed back to him within a second, deleting the space between her and him and appearing right in front of his faces, the King roared, his giant claws and tentacles made of light and azure energy clashed against her.

TRUM! TRUM! TRUM! TRUM!

Yet with a mere thought, they were all deleted from existence, completely and fully destroyed, the King of the Depth's eyes widened, as he quickly attacked Maria to keep her busy.

She had a tremendous power, but he knew he could defeat her, her body was still frail compared to his attack power!

"RAAAAH!"

With a furious roar, countless beams of light were shot at Maria at the same time, she had to concentrate and delete them all, for some reason no other skill or ability responded to her, her current form was the fusion of them all.

TRUM! TRUM! TRUM!

She deleted the beams as she made her way towards him, yet the King of the Depths unleashed another gigantic beam, which she deleted again, only for three more to appear, from above, below, and behind!

"He's really pushing me even in this state!"

As Maria distracted herself destroying the beams, the King of the Depths quickly conjured a gigantic spear, the same one he used to pierce the girls and launched it at Maria within that split second she was busy dealing with his beams.

"No."

"Huh?!"

TRUM!

The spear, however, disappeared before it could hit her, and then, Lucifer, Jonathan, Emeraldine, and Partner struck down the King of the Depths, having finally reached him. Their strongest attacks all combined together into an almighty force.

"You dare almost kill my daughter?! DIE, YOU BASTARD!"

Lucifer's swords of sunlight and abyssal death flames pierced the King of the Depth's entire

body.

"You're one tough fucker, but this is as far as you're getting!"

Partner's monstrous form harnessed and then released all her crimson and black thunder at once, fusing it with her two spears and piercing the monster's body.

"Enough is enough!"

Emeraldine fired her largest arrow, piercing the monster's stomach and then exploding,

releasing countless branches and roots that sapped his energies.

"We won't let an aberrant monster such as yourself destroy this beautiful world!"

Jonathan swung his sword several times, unleashing spears made out of Eclipsing light that left countless holes through the King of the Depths.

"UUAAAAGGH!"

The King of the Depths screamed in agony as he was sunk into the bottom of the ocean's depths with everyone else, Maria rushing towards them appearing right in front of his chest through deleting all space between her and her target.

"S-STOP! STOOOOP! MY PURPOSE...! I MUST... I MUST DEFEND THE LEGACY OF-UGH?!"

Crack, crack...!

Before the King of the Depths could speak another word, Maria touched the golden jewel in

his chest, and shattered it.

CRASH!

And what came out of it was nothing but a woman, yes, a beautiful, mature woman with pale white skin and long, golden brown hair.

"I knew it, a goddess!"

As Maria took her with her arms, the King of the Depths desperately pushed everyone attacking him away, even as his arms and legs were torn to shreds due to their attacks, and quickly extended his jaws towards Maria and the woman she rescued.

"I'LL DEVOUR YOU BOTH!"

CRUNCH!

"You really don't know when to quit."

TRUUUM!

"GUH?!"

Yet instead of having devoured her and the woman she rescued, the King of the Depths quickly realized half his jaws were completely destroyed and deleted from existence, only leaving

wounds.

"I am figuring out this power as I go, did you like this? I call it {Aura of Nothingness}," Maria smiled. "Anything that I don't approve of gets destroyed to consumed by Nothingness."

"G-GUH...! YOUUU! AAAGGGHH!"

With a furious roar of frustration, the King of the Depths rushed towards Maria gain, only for

her to decide to end this once and for all.

Her eyes, however, didn't held that much hatred.

But only pity. "Your existence is the result of the suffering of the ancient Ocean Titans and the Sea

Dragons..." she sighed. "You sought to protect them, but there was no longer any more of

them left alive, right? You're strong, but... You're too chaotic to be left alive, King of the

Depths."

A sphere of gray and black color materialized in front of Maria's silver-colored eye.

"This is our farewell."

The sphere reached the King of the Depths, consuming him completely, his entire body slowly

disappeared, turning into Ashes of Nothingness.

"T-This power...!" he thought. "Maybe... Maybe she can... finally defeat those damn gods...!"

Before dying, he smiled, imagining the gods' demise before fully disappearing.
