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

-----

Maria and everyone else watched the battles in silence while everything finally began, a rumbling sound echoed as a gigantic weapon almost managed to crush Emeraldine.

CLAAASH!

RUMBLE!

The entire arena rumbled, as people all watched in shock, Professor Hendrick just had given the word for the battles to begin, and someone had already attacked.

They didn't even waste a single second, fighting without even letting the other get ready!

And it was a surprise, sneaky attack!

"Ugh…! Wow, that surprised me a bit!"

Emeraldine smiled, although slightly bothered, making her opponent more shocked of her strength, and of what she showed to the outside world.

Managing to catch a huge, long staff that almost hit her with enough force to kill her using a wooden hand, formed from the Wood that grew from her Magic.

It was Yggdrasil Wood, which was both Spiritual and Divine, incredibly hard, and it responded to danger, always growing around her body to protect her when needed.

At the same time, her two Divine Spirits appeared, floating around her body. Her Spirit of Light and Nature had grown a lot, now resembling little fairies.

"Oh! I knew you were the real deal, Emeraldine! Let's fight to our heart's contents!" Cheng Xie jumped into battle, reaching Emeraldine.

At the same time, Emeraldine didn't hesitate, summoning her Dream Weapon, her Magic Spiritual Divine Bow, summoning dozens of arrows and firing them at the same time.

Most of the people watching across the arena, students and professors, were shocked of how strong Emeraldine was.

Not only was her wood strong enough to block the gigantic weapon from Cheng Xie, but she was even able to fire a dozen arrows towards him.

"{Holy Arrow Rain}!"

"Ah!"

Cheng Xie gasped as he saw the arrows reaching him at lightning speed!

He stepped forward and then manipulated his surroundings.

The Earth trembled.

the Sky above… also trembled.

"Heaven and Earth!"

He slammed the floor, as a gigantic force was unleashed, shaped as a massive hand.

BAAAMMM!!!

The hand blocked all the arrows and then attempted to crush Emeraldine completely.

Smoke filled the entire arena, as everyone gasped in disbelief at the current development of the battle!

Wasn't Ching Xie… way too strong?!

"Ching Xie… Now I remember, isn't he the exchange student that arrived just a year ago?"

"Yes, he had been rather lowkey this entire time, without really bringing too much attention to himself."

"But… Now I remember, wasn't he always praised back in his homeland for being so strong? He's among the top five strongest of the Dream Warriors Academy's Asian Branch."

The professors talked with one another, finally recalling who was this very calm, meditative student that often times didn't bring too much attention to himself.

Until now!

"I remember more about him…" said Professor Hendrick. "Back in his homeland, he's known as… the Son of the Monkey King because of his abilities, which are so similar to their popular fable hero… Sun Wu Kong!"

"You're right, professor… the staff he has can stretch endlessly?"

"And he can unleash the power of heaven and earth…"

"I never imagined Dream Heart Powers could extend to this caliber…"

"It seems we've had a very narrow view this entire time, the world is truly full of talents!"

As the professors seemed to have forgotten about Emeraldine, Ching Xie remained calm yet wary, as he gave a step back before…

RUMBLE!

Countless roots surged from the ground, rapidly spreading everywhere, and forming a beautiful, gigantic spirit and divine tree.

After having received the Divine Protection of Yggdrasil from the world that carries her same name, Emeraldine's Nature Magic had changed forever.

The power of Yggdrasil now dwelled within her very Green Magic, making it extremely powerful.

"So you managed to survive that easily," Ching Xie. "I suppose I should change my fighting style then…"

Suddenly, the young Chinese man pointed his staff at Emeraldine while taking on a more aggressive stance, with his left leg to the front and the other to the back, and both of his shoulders spread upwards, his eyes growing sharper as he clenched his teeth.

"I was surprised of how strong your attack was," Emeraldine said, smiling. "I had to quickly create a protective dome to survive that… Well, it went nicely."

RUMBLE!

Before she could continue talking, the giant staff reached her once more, growing at a disparate size and width within a split second, attempting to utterly crush her.

CRAAASH!

However, once more, a giant hand made of wood stopped it from hitting her… Cheng Xie began to realize that this woman was being protected.

"A part of her Dream Weapon, or maybe something to do with her own magic?" he wondered. "She's being protected by the will of nature itself… I can't hit her at all!"

What he didn't understand was that this was Emeraldine's Divine Nature Spirit helping her.

And also another Spirit, and Calamity of the world of Yggdrasil.

It was, of course, Root himself!

He appeared besides Emeraldine, invisible to the naked eye, on his Spiritual Form, taking the appearance of a Kodama, an egg-shaped wooden doll-like spirit being.

"It seems he's packing some strong powers, Emeraldine, gyuhhh!" he said, floating around. "But is he as strong as you are? I think your stats vastly overpower him gyuuh!"

"I know," nodded Emeraldine. "But there's something about him… perhaps his pressure, he's someone that makes even the heavens move to his will. I cannot underestimate him… therefore, I'll also end this quick."

Emeraldine once more pointed her bow at Ching Xie, who rushed towards her, moving his massive staff around to slam her with tremendous force.

"It won't work anyways!" he thought. "I'll block your arrows with my Heaven Palm and-"

"{Divine Arrow of Yggdrasil}"

Emeraldine combined her two Spirits into a single, gigantic arrow made of their own fused energies, firing it at Ching Xie instantly.

With little time to respond, he was unable to employ the heavens, therefore, the earth below his foot would have to do!

"{Earthen Palm}!"

CRAAASH!

A giant palm made of stone blocked the arrow, making Ching Xie sigh in relief…

Crack, crack…!

CRACK!

Only for the arrow to pierce through the palm, reaching him.

BOOOOMM!!!
