Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 1425: Upgrading Unit Cards

-----

I had to force these lazy girls to move, so I quickly separated around a dozen Nightmaresaurs, which I calculated would feed their Dream Weapons with enough Dream Essence once they slayed them as a team.

"ROOOAARR!"

Confused but enraged at having their home being invaded and their king slain (all my head canon), they ran towards us furiously, I remained sitting over the chair enjoying the drink, and I took out a bag of potato chips.

"C-Can we really do this?!" Alma panicked.

"Maria are you enjoying this or something?! You’re sadistic...!" Emily complained.

"I’m sorry, I just know very well you should be able to take them down..." I said. "I have healed you and made you recover your energies, so do your best!"

As they looked at me in disbelief, my Soul Grimoire manifested by my side, and I quickly spent some System Points, registering the girls inside as Cards.

All of my "Units" could be registered as Cards within the Soul Grimoire, and I can create new cards by mixing new ingredients and manifesting new, powerful Undead.

However, there’s also the possibility of registering existing allies into the Grimoire as Cards, they gain various Unit-only benefits, although I cannot just turn them into my servants or something.

Ding!

[You have exchanged 5.000.000 System Points!]

[You have registered your Friend [Sofia] inside your {Soul Grimoire} as a [Allied Unit Card: Sofia (World of Nightmares): Tier 1]!]

[The [Allied Unit Card] has been placed in your current {Soul Grimoire} deck, enhancing the Unit in question. Their Growth Speed and Stats has increased by 50%!]

[You can use more System Points to increase their Growth Speed and Stats temporarily, or permanently upgrade their Allied Unit Card.] freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

[Permanently upgrading an Allied Unit Card requires a certain level of growth on their side, and compatible Materials.]

Yeah this System, I’ve been using it for a while now, although mostly I’ve kept it passively. It is one of the reasons why everyone around me grows so fast, and it can become a real System Points sink, so I usually just register a card for now and don’t use the upgrade function that much.

After all, everyone can level up and get skills, so it’s easy for them to progress either way, though I’ve upgraded their card whenever we fought something strong. Most of my family already has Tier 5 Allied Cards registered in my Grimoire.

As for Sofia and the rest? Well they don’t level up or gain skills, they have no access to the Soul Book as they have none themselves.

The only thing they can rely on is their own Dream Hearts, and Sofia doesn’t even have one now!

So I had to use some of my points and help them out with this...

Thankfully, it seems that because they don’t have Soul Books, I don’t even need their permission to register them, as long as the System consider them my "Friends" by seeing us interact together, I think.

Now, the rest!

Ding!

[You have exchanged 5.000.000 System Points!]

[You have registered your Friend [Emily] inside your {Soul Grimoire} as a [Allied Unit Card: Emily (World of Nightmares): Tier 1]!]

[The [Allied Unit Card] has been placed in your current {Soul Grimoire} deck, enhancing the Unit in question. Their Growth Speed and Stats has increased by 50%!]

Ding!

[You have exchanged 5.000.000 System Points!]

[You have registered your Friend [Alma] inside your {Soul Grimoire} as a [Allied Unit Card: Alma (World of Nightmares): Tier 1]!]

[The [Allied Unit Card] has been placed in your current {Soul Grimoire} deck, enhancing the Unit in question. Their Growth Speed and Stats has increased by 50%!]

Ding!

[You have exchanged 5.000.000 System Points!]

[You have registered your Friend [Martina] inside your {Soul Grimoire} as a [Allied Unit Card: Martina (World of Nightmares): Tier 1]!]

[The [Allied Unit Card] has been placed in your current {Soul Grimoire} deck, enhancing the Unit in question. Their Growth Speed and Stats has increased by 50%!]

[Your Current Deck Slots: 42/50]

Yeah, the Deck Slots were limited, but they have grown as I’ve grown and evolved myself.

Back then it had a limit of like five, so I only had my main Undead in the deck receiving the buff, but not anymore for now.

"Now, Soul Grimoire, upgrade these Allied Unit Cards."

Ding!

[Do you wish to upgrade the [Allied Unit Card: Sofia (World of Nightmares): Tier 1] for 10.000.000 System Points? No extra materials are required for the first upgrade.]

[Yes] [No]

Ding!

[Do you wish to upgrade the [Allied Unit Card: Emily (World of Nightmares): Tier 1] for 10.000.000 System Points? No extra materials are required for the first upgrade.]

[Yes] [No]

Ding!

[Do you wish to upgrade the [Allied Unit Card: Alma (World of Nightmares): Tier 1] for 10.000.000 System Points? No extra materials are required for the first upgrade.]

[Yes] [No]

Ding!

[Do you wish to upgrade the [Allied Unit Card: Martina (World of Nightmares): Tier 1] for 10.000.000 System Points? No extra materials are required for the first upgrade.]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes!"

I pressed "Yes" all four times, and the cards rapidly began floating in front of me, absorbing the System Points and quickly evolving.

Their bronze-colored appearance changed, as the slight silhouette showing the girls in these cards became slightly more detailed and clearer.

The dark bronze card gained a brighter bronze slightly close to gold.

Then, the cards returned back to the Soul Grimoire Deck.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have managed to Upgrade the [Allied Unit Card: Sofia (World of Nightmares): Tier 1] to Tier 2!]

[The Bonuses to Growth Speed and Stats have increased from 50% to 60%.]

[Sofia] has developed a new Ability: [Holy Protection Barrier]!]

And there she was, the first of the four, she even obtained a new Ability innate to her? Similar to a Skill I guess, but that cannot level up.

"Sofia! Use your ability!"

"M-My Ability? What ability are you talking about- Ah!"

Her eyes widened as she suddenly felt something coming from her fingers, blinding magical light.

"ROOAAR!"

And as one of the Nightmaresaurs was about to attack her, she pushed it back with her magic, generating a mighty barrier.

CLAAASH!
