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

Chapter 1102  Arachne Wakes Up

-----

But that wasn't all, as the slumbering dragon began to slowly wake up from her long rest and recovery, someone else, a little slothful girl was also waking up.

RUMBLE!

The entirety of the Shadow Realm trembled; all five cultivators ended jumping out of the floor as they noticed a mass of shadows hanging from the ceiling beginning to be torn apart.

It resulted that such a thing wasn't just part of the Shadow Realm, no, it was some sort of cocoon-like creation made using spiderweb-like secretion.

Crack, crack…!

"W-What is that thing?!"

"Master, is it some sort of monster?!"

"How many horrors are sealed down here?"

"R-Run!" Wu Lieng wasn't calm this time, the enormous demonic pressure he felt surging from the cocoon was the real deal. "Run as quickly as you can!"

He quickly started to run away with the other four cultivators, as the entire Shadow Realm trembled. Hundreds of Undead were thrown away by the enormous shockwaves of demonic energy.

TRUUUM!

It felt like the entire Realm was being torn apart, and it was just the cocoon being destroyed! It didn't make any sense. Whatever was inside of that cocoon, it had suddenly become even more powerful than before.

Demonic Energy surged endlessly, making the cultivators kneel and forcing all the Undead to escape or be blown away into pieces.

As Wu Lieng revealed the truth, the disciples fell into complete silence.

Slowly, the demonic energy started to go back to the cocoon, the cultivators glanced in disbelief at the entity that surged from within it.

it was actually not that big, she looked like a girl in her teenager years, with long black and white colored hair, sharp crimson eyes, and six more purple eyes in her forehead.

"A-A girl?" wondered one of the cultivators.

"No, that's definitely not just a girl, you fool!" a second cried.

"M-Master Wu Lieng, what is she?!" the third disciple asked.

Wu Lieng remained in silence as he glanced at the girl, her powers distorted her surroundings, even Maria's Shadow Realm could barely contain her inside.

"That's… I've heard about them, a Calamity!"

As Wu Lieng revealed the truth, the disciples fell into complete silence.

In every world of the Tower, Calamities existed.

It was thought that they were regulators, disasters, some called them "Raid Bosses", but they would continuously appear through the eons.

In the world of Yggdrasil, Calamities were assigned a Sin, but in other worlds, they were often times carrying a different power, often dark or opposite to the good side.

In the world of Murim, Calamities also existed, and Wu Lieng still remembered the first time he saw one.

It was the time his entire village was destroyed, hundreds of years ago, when the Calamity that was once a man, the three-headed golden dragon, destroyed everything.

How? By burning it all with his golden flames, anything that burned by his flames became glittering gold, which he tore apart and ate…

Even the old Murim master felt perplexed, the presence of a Calamity, its demonic aura, its overwhelming power.

The origin of Calamities was still a mystery in Murim, but it was known that they were able to continuously grow stronger by devouring life.

However, the girl in front of them was… a bit different.

Large arachnid legs surged from her back, as if tearing through her skin, they helped her walk out of the ceiling, reaching the ground below.

Her sharp eyes glared at them, noticing their presence there.

The aura the girl exuded was strong enough to make them feel lethargic, their bodies felt heavier, and it was as if they didn't want to move anymore.

"W-What is this demonic presence?!" muttered Wu Lieng. "W-Who are you?! Ugh…!"

"…" the girl looked down at them, rapidly moving towards their direction, her many arachnid legs making the entire Realm tremble.

They couldn't move, they couldn't do a single thing, in fact!

Other than just watch as she approached, about to eat them.

"You…" she asked, her sharp arachnid eyes glaring into their very souls.

"Y-Yes?" Wu Lieng looked upwards, only to notice her face still looked like that of a little girl.

"Are you new around here? I didn't know mama left some new friends!" she said with a happy smile. "Nice to meet you… I was feeling so sleepy lately, so I slept a lot… But it seemed it was because I could evolve! I didn't know!"

"I-I see…" muttered Wu Lieng. "Wait, by mother you mean Maria?"

"Yes!" smiled the girl.

Wu Lieng then gave a look at his disciples.

If the woman named Maria had a "daughter" that was a Calamity as strong as the three-headed golden dragon, then there was little point in ever doubting her!

"N-Nice to meet you then…" muttered the old man. "You all, greet her."

"Y-Yes, I greet you…"

"It is an honor…"

"I-I hope you had… a good sleep?"

"Please don't eat us…"

"Hehehe, you guys are funny! I'm going outside, bye!" the girl quickly crawled out of the shadows, which easily allowed her to move outside.

The cultivators had tried so long to escape the shadows, but were always unable to, however this girl didn't even have to force her way out and was able to escape easily!

"So? Are you fools ever going to doubt her again?" Wu Lieng asked his disciples.

"N-No, never…"

"She's… she might really be strong enough to do much more, yes." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I thought my life was going to end in that moment!"

"Ugh… I think I'm going to puke…"

As Wu Lieng looked at Arachne disappear, he sighed.

When did everything went to shit so much?

Well, from the very beginning, living a terrible life like his ended bringing him to this point.

"I might have stepped too far from my own boundaries now…" he thought. "To think I would end up meddling with such powerful beings…"

But perhaps this was an opportunity for the old man.

The very reason he had begun growing so strong through all these years.

And the reason why he meddled with Yggdrasil's Vampires to obtain their powerful techniques.

It was all to avenge his village, and his family.

To kill the Three-Headed Golden Dragon, the strongest Calamity of Murim.

"I have to convince Lady Maria to help me kill him… No matter what."

As he made up his resolve, Arachne went to greet Maria's morning.
