It appears that things had become way more interesting than I had originally thought, the ghost of this sect's ancestor showed up out of nowhere and almost destroyed Rose with sheer ghostly strength.
The ghost itself was strong too, it was a Rank 4 Middle Stage Ghost… the Mana Core it had resonated with a strong amount of magic, but it wasn't her original one, she actually just formed a new one after dying. She seemed sharper too, and probably hid many secrets not even her people knew about.
"I am surprised, you can easily see me, I guess you're indeed a Death Mage. My people had never been able to see my ghost even when they had? Spiritualist gift… So your intentions of robbing us… what are they? Just to grow stronger selfishly? Who are you exactly? I won't budge until you tell me." She said.
"I really shouldn't tell you… But fine. I kind of want to gain your trust for some reason…"
I explained to her what had happened, from us saving the sect to the pact and all… what I was doing after such an explanation was merely taking some interests out of all of this, a way to pay up for the things they cannot pay by using their material items.
"Y-You've done all of that?! I… I can't see any lies within you. You're really saying the truth! You… So I guess its fair… You've saved the entire sect." she sighed.
She seemed to have a technique within her arsenal to see through lies. A lie detector spell or something, she was able to easily discern my lies and truth like this, and easily ended believing me, well, good thing I said the truth.
"Indeed, I am just taking a bit of compensation. The corpses had been left alone, I am just taking the Mana Cores that none of you are using, they're just being wasted while being buried, even though they're such a strong and amazing snack- I mean, treasure." I said.
"Hmph. I still don't like you. I can't believe you've rejected the hand of my beautiful descendant. Isn't she perfect in every aspect? She's beautiful, cute, sexy, and strong, yet you rejected her?! Who do you think you are, dragon?!" she roared.
Midway through, she realized I was a dragon based in "the shape of my soul" the same way the Lunar Dragon did it. I guess I can hide my body aspect, but not the shape of my soul, which is like that of a dragon and smells like a dragon too, according to her.
"I already have a woman and another one too, one of them is pregnant!" I said.
"But you can certainly have a third! You're just being arrogant for the sake of it, aren't you?!" she asked angrily.
"Please stop, I really don't want to be a harem protagonist. Miranda is the exception because she's just Benladann, literally the same soul… Ugh. Now that she's there everyone is going to use her as an excuse to say "if you got a second you certainly can get a third!"… Seriously, why is everyone so obsessed with me having a harem in this world?!" I asked. I was actually just ranting.
"The what of what?" she asked while raising an eyebrow. contemporary romance
"Ah, you wouldn't understand… Well whatever-"
"Hmmm? Yukihime, what is this? Ah?! An intruder!"
Suddenly another ghost showed up, this one had the shape of a gigantic serpentine dragon not so different from Mikohime's dragon, but it was older, more gigantic, and also more majestic, it shone brightly with pink colors, even if it was just the ghost. And just like Yukihime, it had forged its own Mana Core as a ghost monster, while the original mana core was down there underground.
Two powerful Rank 4 Ghosts were in front of me…! I wish I could just have them on my team but is that even possible?! Having such an ancient woman such as the ancestor would be useful in many ways, the amount of info she could have would be great to have… and even as a ghost, she seems fearfully strong. By analyzing her, I also realized she kept her Unique Skills, which makes her even stronger… Whew.
"Mikoto, you've woken up later." She said, reprimanding the dragon. it was also a female dragon and the mother of all the Lunar Dragon in here. Although their souls are not here, her own did stay with Yukihime.
"Ah… I was just resting, just resting, nothing happens here so I was just resting for once…" sighed Mikoto.
"Nothing happened? Just a few days ago we got a raid of shadow beasts, if any of my foolish descendants would had dared to come here, I could had granted them my inheritance! But for some odd and stupid reason they never come here! Just how much respect do they have for me?! I am literally here waiting for them to grab my inheritance and they never come! Seriously? They're all such bakas!" she muttered. Sometimes she brought Japanese words out of nowhere. I don't know if she was a weeb or an actual Japanese woman.
"Hm, indeed, they're all quite stupid. Your children got a few loose screws." Said Mikoto.
"Y-You dare insult my children?! Yours are also stupid." Said Yukihime.
"T-The Lunar Dragon race is prideful and wise!" roared Mikoto.
"You were not so wise when you died in the battlefield." Sighed Yukihime.
"T-That's a low hit, Yukihime! You also died in the battlefield anyways!" said Mikoto.
"Well but I had some backup plans! Without my help we wouldn't be here like ghosts." Said Yukihime.
"Sometimes I would had preferred that it wasn't the case, staying with you for an eternity is really a pain!" said Mikoto.
"I think the same! I guess we can all agree on that!" said Yukihime.
"Y-You…!"
"Y-You…!"
The two locked stares for a little while…
"Ahem. Weren't you companions?" I asked while raising an eyebrow.
"T-They really don't seem like companions, my lord…" sighed Rose.
