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

Chapter 1076: Beach Episode



The closer I got to the beach, the more connected I felt with the ocean itself, it felt like it was definitely calling for me. My senses expanded even further than before, connecting to the seas. It felt that, if I ever wanted, I could expand them into the ocean, spreading them and seeing everything within its endless confines.

The beautiful, azure colored canvas of salty water, accompanied by the bright sun on top, reflecting its light above the crystalline azure sea, the gentle sound of the ocean waves, the sea birds crying, the fish swimming, and the salty smell of the sea.

It was all so wonderful, and with this new Authority, I could somehow feel even more connected to everything than before. It kind of made me love the ocean more than I thought!

Especially because this is, I think, the first time I ever visit the sea in this second life.

"Wow... So this is the big ol' sea!" Said Catarina. "Hey Silva, wanna go for a swim?!"

"I-I don't know how to swim big sis..." Silva muttered.

"Don't worry! With Blackie we'll teach you!" Catarina grabbed her adopted daughter (at this point), and went to the beach with her wolf.

"Woof! Woof!"

"W-Wait, I don't wanna swim yet!" Silva was both embarrassed and flustered, but at the end Catarina and Blackie helped her get into the water. "I-It's cold!"

"Hahaha, yeah, it's always cold at the beginning, don't worry!" Catarina laughed. "It's nice, it's nice~!"

They were having their own fun I guess. Catarina was a bit pushy, but Silva was too shy, so she needed someone to push her a bit or she wouldn't get anywhere. The girl was improving though, Catarina has proven to be a pretty good adoptive mother, although she prefers to be -called big sis.

Maybe everything this evil vampire lady ever needed was a family, huh? She sure looks happy. Maybe I should bring Silvio and Francesco to meet her, after all they're like siblings, right? Hmm, well, I guess I could try that later though, I can sense they're busy helping the dwarves in the smithy and also cooking, they've become the chefs of the village.

"Is that truly Lady Catarina? I remember hearing a few rumors about her some time ago..."

Kimiko was by my side, there were a few more Zombie Vampires I had brought with me, the secret behind their ability to resist sunlight was a special series of runic tattoos spread around their bodies, creation of Hendrick's research. This trait was inherited into their Zombie forms, which looked very much alive thanks to my advanced Necromancy.

"Yeah she is, now Kimiko, I didn't bring you here to walk around acting sexy in that swimsuit." I told her.

"Eep! W-What must I do, master?" she asked timidly.

"This beach is nasty! Look, there's a bunch of trash everywhere! All this time you vampires took over, things such as basic cleaning were completely forgotten. All of you guys are taking responsibility for that! Begin cleaning the entire beach! I want it pipping clean by the end of the day, you heard me?" I roared back at the three hundred Zombie Vampires I bought.

The people in the beach and the port looked at the scene with curiosity and surprise. Some panicked, but they were quickly told they were Undead below my control. I had already become popular enough that most people recognized my name as "Maria the Necromancer".

"Y-Yes, we understand, master!" Kimiko bowed her head. "W-We'll do our very best to clean the beach! Leave it to us!"

"Good, put all your vampire skills to use to clean as efficiently and fast as possible!" I roared. "And don't you dare slack off!"

"Y-YES!"

The Vampires quickly dispersed around the beach, beginning to carry the trash away into a black hole I created. A piece of my own shadow that I left for them to throw all the trash into.

As for the rest of us? Well, we just enjoyed the beach! We picked a slightly cleaner and lonelier place in the beach and set up a large tent for all of us.

In there, we got into our swimsuits, which I prepared using my abilities, and we set off to explore the beach.

"Woah, my god, who are these two beauties I'm finding here?" I eyed Emeraldine and Partner, who were both sporting beautiful swimsuits.

"Hahaha, you also look gorgeous, Maria!"

Emeraldine was wearing a green colored one that wrapped around her breasts and her hips, with a beautiful semi-transparent white veil, and a white summer hat. Her green swimsuit also had sunflowers as decoration, she looked so lovely.

"Yeah you're pretty hot, Emeraldine's fucking hot too. You two are hot, actually..."

As for Partner, who was acting horny again, she was wearing a one-piece black and red swimsuit, with red roses as decoration, she liked this one because she said she didn't want to show too much skin, as a vampire and all, even though she was already immune to sunlight, it was still tiring to be exposed directly for so long. She also took a black summer hat, and a parasol to carry around, mostly looking for shade.

"Let's go to the water! I want to try swimming! I haven't taken a good swim in so long, since I was a little girl back in my village's nearby lake." Emeraldine said, she was hyped for a swim.

"Sure, let's go!" I nodded.

As we splashed into the cold water and began swimming around, I felt my connection with the oceans strengthen even further. For a moment, it truly felt as if my soul had become an extension of the sea and viceversa.

It was a strange yet pleasurable sensation, the more I swam, the more I felt this connection strengthen. And not only that, but my Mana was also recovering very quickly by merely touching the sea.

It was as if the sea was this endless pool of Mana and other energies, and by merely willing it, countless rivers of its energies flowed into my body.

Just being here was so relaxing!

RUMBLE!

However, almost poetically, something emerged from the oceans just to ruin my day off...

"ROOOAARR!"
