The warrior that appeared through Soul Howl’s Necromancy was a beautiful maiden with vacant eyes. Her skin was a pale blue, with no signs of life, and her face showed no emotion or will. But her demeanor did stand out.
Her large battleaxe, the style of her clothes, and even her accessories. They all were as powerful as Artifacts.
「Ohh! This is amazing, and I can tell you’ve customized her quite a lot too.」
Her long golden hair was parted to the side, and there was a crude tiara on her head. Her body was also protected by light armor, which was quite similar to that worn by the Valkyries. Mira had seen her in the past, but she was quite shocked by how much her equipment had changed since then.
「Of course I did. She’s the backbone of my true power after all.」
Soul Howl replied with confidence, pleased with Mira’s reaction.
Hero Rebirth was considered the spell all Necromancers aspired to obtain.
That spell also had a counterpart called Hero’s Coffin. As its name suggested, that one produced a coffin, in which a body could be stored. Then Hero Rebirth could be used to create a golem based on the body stored in the coffin.
The body chosen to keep in the coffin directly affected the strength of Hero Rebirth, but even if the golem was defeated, as long as the caster still had mana, they could create another one and keep fighting.
That only meant that the original body would remain unharmed though, so from a superficial view it did not seem very distinct from other Necromancy spells. But there was one crucial difference which made Hero Rebirth a necromancer’s trump card.
That lay on the spell’s most defining feature: burial articles.
Other than a body, the coffin could also contain weapons, accessories, and various other items. Those could push Hero Rebirth to be a much stronger spell. Picking the correct burial articles was not an easy task though, as they had to meet certain restrictions to fit inside the coffin.
First, no items with some special power in them like spirit arms, Artifacts, Demonic or Holy Swords, or Refined equipment were allowed. In other words, they needed to be completely plain items to be stored in the coffin.
The materials used to make the items were also restricted, only allowing copper, iron, or silver items for the most part.
Considering all the fantastical beings running rampant in this world, items with no special power would eventually become useless, even when wielded by an expert.
The solution then would be to somehow strengthen the burial articles.
Doing that was extremely important for necromancers.
The only way to accomplish it was to defeat undead monsters, which would increase a value known as the coffin’s spectral binding, which allowed the empowering of the burial articles as well as the corpse in it.
Once the spectral binding reached a certain level, the burial articles would also rank up, which increased the variety of items which could be stored. The more that was done, the more the selection would grow.
In far simpler terms, as the coffin’s level went up, the items allowed would be fancier.
Everything about the girl Soul Howl just brought with Hero Revival looked like they were very powerful items of high quality, which was impressive considering the effort necessary to reach that point.
「Though I still can’t say she’s complete though.」
「Hm? You think so?」
As far as Mira could see, she looked fine, but Soul Howl seemed dissatisfied with one of her burial articles.
He had gotten close to raising the coffin’s spectral binding for an important burial article, which would boost all her stats and equipment, but just as he worked on completing the process the whole situation with the woman and Stigmata occurred. That impeded him from completing everything he wanted, and he had not obtained the updated burial article he wanted, making Hero Rebirth only half as powerful as he wanted.
「Hmm, so I guess she can’t just spring into action right away then.」
Soul Howl had mentioned how all that worked in the past, so Mira quickly understood the current situation. That girl would not be able to participate in the fight against Machina Guardian, though if she was fully equipped the way Soul Howl wanted, she would have put up a great fight.
But Soul Howl did not seem to mind that at the moment.
「Ahh, my beloved Irina, I’ve missed you so much.」
He went and hugged that girl, Irina. It was finally time for Soul Howl’s true nature to rear its head.
「I didn’t expect we would meet again like this, Irina… oh my cute Irina…」
He started caressing her cheek with enamored eyes.
Without high level skills Soul Howl was unable to use Hero Rebirth, or even Hero’s Coffin, so this really felt like a reunion after many years for him.
Soul Howl was obsessed with undead girls, and the one he loved and cherished the most was Irina, his main wife (he chose to call them wives for no real reason).
