Seeing that amount of DP remaining made the ghost's eyes open wide unbeknownst to him, he begin to sinisterly laugh out loud.

Startled by the sudden laughter, Auriel shrank as she looks towards the ghost and asked in a very quiet voice, "Mr ghost, did something happened?"

Hearing her soft cries, the ghost looked over at Auriel only to saw her trembling slightly, "so sorry, I might have startled you, we just got 10,000 DP remaining and I became too excited. Oh by the way chibi there are 5 gacha tickets for you to play with." While speaking, the ghost went up to Auriel and stroke her head to try and calm her down.

After a few minutes, Auriel finally manages to calm down, she headed over to the altar and begin using the gacha tickets.

Light begin shining from the altar in this order, orange, yellow, purple, blue, orange.

Seeing the altar shine orange twice the ghost said, "Seems like we hit the jackpot."

"Mr ghost, here you go, these are the items from the altar." chibi brought the items over and passed it over to the ghost.

"Oh, nice the last item for the full grim reaper set, I could use this for the upcoming attack." the ghost chuckled when he saw the scythe.

"Thanks chibi! Oh could you pass that magic crystal to Tempest when she wakes up, tell her it's for her gun, thanks." The ghost rubbed her head once more, before taking the grim reaper scythe and magic gem as he headed to the blacksmith.

Once he arrived at the blacksmith, he immediately got the skeletons warriors to drop off the weapons that they had farm from grinding the possessed weapons. The ghost headed down the stairs to the bottom floor where his tools were at and started softing the mithril bars he had from the previous salvage.

After softing down one of the mithril bars and twisted it slowly into a thick rod, due to the light weight of mithril, he could make it thick, he cut them to a length of 4cm each. Next he make each of the pieces into a circle while interlocking each of the circle until he form a long chain, once done he twisted the chain to strengthen it further before hammering it flat on each side. For the final touches he added in a pendant in the middle to house the magic gem.

After he was done with the necklace he took the black magic gem and insert into the pendant slot.

The ghost didn't know what to name it so he just went for the super basic name "Kuro's pendant".

__________

- Magic Necklace(Super Rare) : +20 def, +20 mdef, increase all mp by 10%, +5 to all stats, increase all dark/void spells efficiency/ dmg by 20% (Special effect : target strike by user will get blindness for 10 seconds)

By the time he was done, the skeletons warriors had already dropped off all the weapons that they had farm and were awaiting for his next commands, but he didn't tasked the skeleton warriors to continue killing off the possessed weapons. Instead he task all his skeleton mages to go farm the possessed weapons, as he suddenly recall that magic won't badly damage the weapons unlike the skeleton warriors who uses physical attacks. The reason for him doing this is so that he procure some weapons for his growing undead army. He also purchase 4 large sacks (3 DP each) for his skeleton mages to use before tasking them.

Once he was done, he headed back up and begin throwing all the same material type weapons that were harvest into the top of the blast furnace. While waiting for the weapons to smelt down into liquid, he went into the dungeon layout and added the new mine shaft that Auriel had gotten from the gacha. He realized that he can only place it into the dungeon instead of the dungeon master room, so he placed it into the crypt that did not have the dungeon core or the current make shift prison. Once he was happy with the placement, he updated the dungeon layout. What was weird there was no cost for this mine shaft, after going through the layout menu, he couldn't seem to find the mine shaft as a choice to place into the dungeon. It seems that this is an exclusive item that can only be gotten through gacha.

Next, the ghost went down to check on the progress of the melting. His timing was just nice as he begin to pour the iron into the cast and cool it down into bars, however after cooling down, the iron that he got was much darker in coloration, different from the previous iron bars. He immediately check out what it was as he haven't smelt down the iron from this new furnace.

___________

Item : (Rare) : Iron that had been imbued with magic, it's durability and strength is much more tougher than normal iron

(Basic descriptions : A by product of dwarves trying to create an alternative for mithril, unlike mithril this material could not conduct magic well)

"Hmm, let me try using this dark iron for crafting the pickaxes that I wanted to for the skeletons." the ghost mumbles to himself before he started hammering the dark iron bar into shape.

After a few hours, he managed to craft 4 dark iron pickaxes.

___________

Item : - Pickaxe (Rare) : +15 atk, +5 str, +5 agi, increase mining speed by 20%, durability 50/50

Once he check out the stats of the dark iron pickaxes, he tasked the two skeleton warriors to head down into the new mine shaft with the new pickaxes.

He left the blacksmith, as he was heading over to Kuro's cat tower to see if Kuro was there. To his surprise, the warg was doing the training course and was being cheered on by Auriel standing at the side.

"Chibi did you teleported it here?" the ghost walked over to Auriel and asked.

"Yeah, Fen fen looks like he was bored with the other zombies so I teleported him over." Auriel said with a gleaming smile on her face.

"Fen fen?" the ghost looks at her with a question mark on his head.

"Yup, I named him Fenrir. Fen fen come here." Auriel immediately callout to the warg.

"Awoo" the warg ran over in an instant with his tail wagging like it's about to break off.

'Is he a wolf or a dog?' the ghost thought to himself.

When the warg reached Auriel, it immediately laid down infront of Auriel and Auriel begin rubbing it's entire head.

"You better take care of chibi, okay?" the ghost looks sternly towards the warg and said.

The warg replied with a nod and the ghost left the 2 alone and went to look for Kuro.

When he entered the main hall, he saw Kuro and Tempest were on the table playing Reversi. As he flew towards them, Kuro saw him and meowed.

"Here you go Kuro." the ghost said as he took the necklace out and place it next to Kuro.

"Meow" as Kuro eyes sparkle, it immediately put it's neck out as if wanting the ghost to help put it on.

Seeing that, the ghost took the necklace and put it onto Kuro. As if recognizing it's owner, a dark aura enveloped the necklace and the shiny mithril chain slowly changed it's color to match Kuro's fur color.

"Alright, so who's up for some interrogation." the ghost suddenly said in a excited voice.

The duo eyes brighten when they heard what the ghost said.

"Alright, let's head over." the ghost said as he teleported with the duo to the crypts.

~~~~~

~~~~~ A few minutes before the trio came~~~~~

"Sir, are you alright." the hobgoblin awoke to see it's boss in the same jail cell, totally naked only with a loin cloth left.

"Where am I?" the goblin knight slowly sat up and replied.

"Sir, I am not sure where we are, but there is another goblin that I don't recognized in the cell next to ours. Here's some food for you to eat." the hobgoblin said take the bread and water that he had placed aside to the goblin knight.

"My lords, I am from the scout team, I have been locked up in here for days." hearing them discussing, the goblin broke it's silence.

"What?! Didn't your entire team got wipe out? Why is that wraith knight keeping you alive?" the goblin knight was taken aback and questioned the goblin.

"My lord, what wraith knight are you talking about? My group encountered a skeleton cavalry, but the one who came here were a ghost, a cat and a humanoid instead." the goblin was shocked by what the goblin knight said as it begin to explain who was locking it up.

"I see you guys are chatty." the ghost said in a deep antagonizing tone.

When it heard the ghost, the goblin begin to trembling and mumbling, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry,...."

"What did you do to him?" the hobgoblin look towards and shouted at the ghost.

"Nothing much." the ghost replied as he narrowed his eyes while looking at the hobgoblin.

"I see that you guys are settling in just fine." the ghost looks towards the goblin knight.

"Now I'll need you to answer some questions for me."

"We are not going to tell you anything!" the hobgoblin snapped back at the ghost.

Hearing that, the ghost went into the dungeon layout and added in another iron bar (1dp) separating the hobgoblin from the goblin knight.

In less than a few seconds a iron bar appeared in the middle of the cell dividing the two of them.

"Kuro" the ghost said in a deep tone.

"Meow" Kuro replied enthusiastically as it was eagerly waiting for the ghost to give it the command.

Although the hobgoblin was much tougher than the goblin, it broke down fairly quickly, just after two rounds of Kuro attacking it. It's scream was the only noise in the entire area, "Please no more, I can't see, what did you do. I'll tell you everything, you want to know. Just please stop."

However, the ghost didn't reply the hobgoblin pleads, but instead he looked over at the goblin knight.

Realizing that the ghost was staring at him, the goblin knight tried to avoid eye contact as much as possible.

"Hmmm, you're not going to say anything as well?" the ghost said in a mocking tone at the goblin knight.

"What do you want to know?" the goblin knight looks back at the ghost and said.

"Information about your entire army." the ghost said as he stares at the goblin knight.
