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

Chapter 1096: New Main Quest



Because if we all went together it would be too many people in small areas, I decided to only go with a few of my friends and family instead of everyone. I left the majority behind.

Arthur insisted on coming saying his powers could be of some help, then I also brought along Celes, who said his powers could also heal really well, he wasn't wrong, his healing was superb. Nia tagged along for her son.

Aside from them, Emeraldine accompanied us, and Partner who was adamant on being my "bodyguard", at all times. Thankfully she was actually rather good at alchemy now, so she could help too.

Fabian also decided to come along, saying that his Demonite Manipulation abilities could be of help on treating the people that were too infected with them.

And everyone else? Well, they stayed behind, there wasn't any need to bring more people for this trip, everyone else was quite tired too.

My little baby Nyx had already fallen asleep on her father's arms, so he made sure to bring her to her bed to sleep.

Ding!

[The Special {Main Story Quest} has been generated: [Save the Infected Mermen From the Miasmic Infection]

[After learning from the King and the Queen about a deadly disease that has begun to spread across the people of the Aquarose Kingdom, you've learned that it is not a disease, but a Miasmic Infection.]

[If not treated any time soon, the mutations might only continue to worsen and the infection to spread uncontrollably, a bleak future awaiting the people of this Kingdom, only becoming a farm of Demonite for the King of the Depths to devour later.]

[You've offered your help to the King and the Queen, and now the fate of these people is within your hands.]

[Completion Rewards]: [EXP] [System Points] [Special Items]

[Failure Penalty]: [Lose the Trust of the Mermen] [Decreased EXP Earned] [System Points Tax]

[Time Limit: 3 Days]

[Do you accept this Quest?]

[Yes] [No]

[If not answered within 10 Minutes, the Quest will be automatically accepted.]

[You have accepted the Quest!]

[Time Remaining: 3 Days.]

After accepting the Quest, which had its fair amount of penalties, we moved towards the area where the infected were being kept.

It was an area where the noble district used to be, which had been completely emptied for the infected to stay.

It had a large air bubble, and many house inside, alongside an underground prison for criminals, which was also evacuated.

The colorful streets were beautiful, but the gloominess of this place was palpable, especially the strong scent of Miasma covering everything.

"That's a familiar scent..." Fabian said. "Demonite's everywhere..."

"Yes, this is the place, all these houses harbor infected people which are being taken care by personnel wearing special suits..." said the guard. "There's a house over there, that one, the yellow with red spots one, yes that one. That house has a staircase leading down where the infected that had mutated are kept..."

He pointed at a house he had just described, it was long and had the shape of a cone-shaped shell, inside apparently there was a staircase leading down to the prison where the mutated were kept at bay for now.

"I see, thank you," Emeraldine nodded. "I was wondering, how many infected people are there right now?"

"Currently? I don't really know, a lot..." the guard said. "You would need to ask the doctor first, he's over there."

"Aren't you quite useless..." Arthur commented slightly angry.

"I-I'm sorry, I am just a guard..." sighed the merman.

"Arthur, calm down," I said. "Don't be aggressive. Alright, let's go then."

"Sorry, I just got a bit irritated... I can also sense the strange aura of the miasma, its sickening..." Arthur sighed. "I lived years with those things inside my body, so I can relate to all the pain the people are feeling... I can even somehow sense their pain, it's so hurtful..."

"You can sense their pain?" Emeraldine wondered.

"Really?" Celes asked. "That must be some sort of power, big bro!"

Perhaps it is something left from his Miasmic Ability? I have yet to figure out what his true Miasmic Ability is too.

Or it might also be related to his time when he had been merged with all those other people.

It might have made him sensitive to these kinds of things.

"Are you okay, little brother? Maybe I shouldn't have brought you along..." I said worriedly.

"Nah, it's okay, it's not like it hurts me, but it is a bit alarming," he sighed. "Is this the

place?"

We walked towards a green colored house, resembling a tree made of green coral.

"Yes, this is where the doctor is, please enter," the guard nodded.

As we made our way inside, we were greeted with a bunch of apothecaries trying to make medicines through alchemy, there was also someone in charge.

A middle-aged-looking man with a tired-looking expression, long black haired and a small,

shaggy beard.

"Hah... When will this end?" he wondered. "Hm? Wait, who are you?"

"We're here to help," I said. "Maybe you don't recognize us, but we were the ones that saved

your city, Doctor."

"Huh? Wait, I see! That's why you weren't mermen, you must be the heroes!" the doctor readjusted his glasses. "Nice to meet you, I am Doctor Altamar, probably the only available doctor at the moment. The rest... Well, they're already sick too."

"Looks like the people with least resistance get infected pretty quickly," I nodded. "Nice to meet you, I am Maria, this is Partner, Emeraldine, Celes, Nia, Fabian, and Arthur, my

brother."

"Looks like you brought quite the large group of people, I assume you came to help somehow?" the doctor wondered.

"Yes, we're trying to do that, I was wondering first, how many people are infected?" I asked.

"Like, an estimated number?" Emeraldine wondered.

"Hmmm," the doctor rubbed his chin. "There's approximately three hundred and fifty-two people infected, seventy of them have fully mutated and are being kept below. Thirty more

are in the process of mutating as well..."

"So many people..." Emeraldine gasped. "We must quickly do something, Maria!"

"I know, can you bring us to the patient with the least symptoms first? I want to try

something," I said.

"V-Very well then, come with me," the doctor nodded.
