At the end, Mikoto won so I was going to revive her body first. The Life Mages had also come back after I had used magic to heal their exhaustion last night so they could prepare for today a bit better, and Pekora was also here leading them.
"So how is your new body going? No complications? Do you feel like you're decaying by any chance?" asked Pekora, as she began to inspect the body of Yukihime at utmost detail.
"I-I am not decaying or something, I feel good, thanks for worrying…" said Yukihime, a bit weirded out by Pekora's clinginess.
"Hmmm… I see! Well, I put some seeds of life inside of you, those should give you enough life. If the life doesn't settle in your body yet, then we'll have to put more seeds." Said Pekora.
"Oh, those, so that's why there is this constant flow of life energy…" said Yukihime."Yep, that's a special magic creation made from my spirits." Said Pekora pridefully.
These Spiritual Seeds of Life are something she had been capable of creating just recently, after our fights, she ended growing stronger from drinking cultivation potions and also by cultivating her own mana core and practicing her abilities better.
She also began to read a lot of books from the libraries of the sects regarding ancient magic or anything she could find, and like that, she began to figure out new ways to use her magic and her spirits.
Pekora could be said to be one of the stronger allies I have as of now, she can use great magic and has many spirits to help her too, so she's packed.
She was able to figure out ways to create new things. And she came out with these seeds that plant life energy into living things and unliving things too.
She can use them mostly on the dirt to make plants grow faster but they can also be feed to animals and other living beings to give them more stamina and energy.
The thing is, like seeds, they take their damn sweet time in activating, and sometimes they might take a long time to even show up completely, so there is that… anyways, aside from this, there are other spells she had make, such as a sweet nectar that can enhance health and cure basic diseases after drinking it."Now that we are all here, time to get going… Anyways, let's make this quickly because I really don't want to spend the entire day doing this annoying thing…" I sighed.
I glanced at the long snake-like skeleton of Mikoto, her skeleton was several bigger than that of Yukihime, but now that I've figured out the way to revive them, this shouldn't take so long.
Like before, I decided to use ingots and fuse them with the bones through Synthesis, and quickly began to merge them into the old, near mummified bones one by one.
With the help of my slime clones, I was able to divide the work and spread around the entire skeleton. After over an hour, we were done.
It was a tiring work and it used almost half my Mana because using Synthesis constantly was tiring and exhausted a lot of Mana… Well, what's done is done, now let's continue with the next step.
After that, the next step is making this entire skeleton into a zombie! A spooky zombie at that.
I used my death magic and boom! It was a zombie, rotting flesh began to grow around the skeleton and even many rotten organs emerged, its eyes popped out of the skull, and it was overall pretty creepy.
But this monster… Wow, it was strong.
Is it because it had dragon bones? It turned into a Dragon Zombie, a powerful Undead Monster.
…
Ah.
"GROOOARRR!"
And it went berserk.
Damn it.
CLASH! BOOM!
It began to shake the entire place using its tail, and its claws unleashed deadly dark aura slashes around. It emanated a deadly death-imbued aura that spread around and began to quickly rot everything alive around it. Pekora had to quickly protect the weaker life mage sled by Samantha.
"Uwaaah! My body became a monster!" said Mikoto.
"Damn it… This happens because you're a dragon! Your bones have enough power that they can even turn themselves into a deadly undead monster with some death magic… A Dragon Zombie at that… Hey, why don't you just become a dragon zombie instead?" I sked.
"Not even in your dreams!" said Mikoto.
"You're not fun, huh?" I sighed.
"GROAR!"
The Dragon Zombie leaped towards me and attempted to bite me into shreds, but I leisurely stopped its two jaws from closing in front of me with my bare hands, its deathly breath was terrible though.
The zombie dragon was stopped in place, and it couldn't move away from my grasp.
"Yawn… I am still sleepy, and you annoy me with this stuff… Can't we take a break?" I sighed.
"GRAAHH…! GRAAAA!"
The Zombie Dragon roared angrily at me while I was trying to keep it still.
"Just turn it back into a corpse!" said Pekora.
"Okay…" I sighed.
I quickly extracted the monster's phantasmal soul from its corpse body, as it quickly fell into the ground motionlessly…
BOOM!
"And it's done, sorry for that." I said while laughing jokingly.
But they didn't take it as easy as I did and reprimanded me.
"Stop messing around so much, Drake! This is not just a joke…" sighed Pekora.
"E-Exactly!" said Mikoto.
"It wasn't my fault! How could I know it would turn into something like that?" Give me a break, please…" I sighed.
"Okay, whatever, let's just continue, I want to get my body back already!" said Mikoto.
"Sure… Pekora, let's continue with how we do it." I said.
"Okay…" sighed Pekora.
The entire life mage group began to infuse large quantities of life into the entire corpse, as the rotten flesh was slowly being purified. Meanwhile, I used death magic to extract all of its "death" from within, swiftly making the entire body regain its life, all while recovering the large wounds it had as a zombie.
