Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 1326: Dream Elixirs

-----

Although Maria tried to bring the idea of "saving the world" to the girls or "stopping all demons" to them as something they would be willing to do by her side, she knew it wouldn't be a thing.

They were too young and also knew their own limits and wouldn't just jump into something so dangerous on their own, knowing full well the strength of Nightmares as a whole.

"Ahhh… Yeah…" nodded Maria.

At the end, she knew that the girls couldn't really come with her to the last battle. But that was fine with her, as long as they were here they would be safe. And even if some sort of world-wide invasion happens, she knows they'll be strong enough to defend the island at least.

"The government, huh? I had not thought about that though…" Maria rubbed her chin. "But they would move too slowly for us to receive any significant help, wouldn't they? And without a lot of proof, they won't believe anything we say either… hmm."

As normal civilians at the end of the day, they suggested her to "bring this to the authorities" or even the "government" aspects she hasn't put much time into investigating.

And well, there was a big reason why she wasn't doing so!

"We only got like three more days at most, it would take way too long to find the government, show them proof of what's happening, and everything else. So little time to do any of that! If anything, the only ones that can do it are just us, the entire family. Relying on external forces is not the way," she thought. "But maybe if the entire island ends up wrapped into something… I guess everyone will be forced to fight to survive."

Nonetheless, she thought that it was useless to worry about things that had yet to even happen and decided to calm down and concentrate on the present. At the end, it seemed that everything depended on her and her family.

And she was fine with that too.

"I wish I could help them level up, but I guess the System I and everyone else has is different than this one? Or perhaps for now. This world isn't quite part of the tower permanently yet," thought Maria. "Eventually, if we complete this trial, and maybe something happens, they could… hmm, maybe. I don't even know what exactly could happen."

Noticing how Maria fell silent after that, some of the group members felt a bit bad about that, they thought they had disappointed her, or that Maria felt lonely because she had such good intentions, but nobody else was willing to take the risk like she did.

"M-Maria, are you ok?" Alma wondered.

"Yeah, you've been silent for a while," said Emily.

"Ah! I'm ok, don't worry," Maria said. "I was just thinking about stuff. All of you need to grow even stronger though. The world is becoming increasingly more dangerous. So I've got a little thing for you to use to get stronger and strengthen your Dream Hearts."

"Huh, what is it?" Emily asked.

"I-Is there such an item?" Alma asked. "W-Wait! Why would you go so far for us… we already said we didn't want to… do whatever you're planning."

"I know, but I want everyone to survive nonetheless," Maria nodded. "So here, take these."

Maria gave her friends pink-colored potions, even one for little Nyx because why not, she was her daughter. These potions glowed with a mystical and magical pink sparkle and were smelled very sweet.

"Huh? What are these? Energy drinks?" asked Emily, drinking it without much care. "Hm? It's super sweet! Wow!"

She was thirsty, so she ended drinking it very quickly out of nowhere…

FLUOSH!

"Woah, wait a second Emily, you drank it without even asking me what it was- I mean, without receiving my answer…" sighed Maria, facepalming.

"I mean it's fine, right? I- Ohhh?!" Emily felt her Dream Heart growing stronger, her Dream Essence flowing through her body even stronger than before, a pink aura encompassed her entirely. "W-What the hell is this?! I feel so strong!"

"Woah! It's works!" said Nyx, drinking the potion. "Hmm! Oh yeah!"

FLUOSH!

The little girl also received the boost as Maria thought, nodding in excitement.

"It worked mama, the Dream Elixir!" she said. "It worked as intended!"

She felt her own little Dream Heart becoming stronger as well!

"Nice! So it worked, hehe!"

Maria nodded, feeling rather proud of herself.

What she had done with the purified Nightmare Cores, which she had hundreds of them, was to grind them, mix them with magic Dream or Nightmare Herbs she gathered in this Island, which were also tested and purified, and then created this miraculous Elixir.

"This is a Dream Elixir, everyone," Maria said. "I created it using my Alchemy Magic, by mixing purified nightmare cores and herbs and plants I found here, which were also purified. Once mixed with some honey and fruit juice for flavor, this was created."

"R-Really?!" Sofia asked in disbelief.

"I can't believe it! Does such an item even exist?" Martina wondered.

"I don't think it does…" Alma said.

Despite the world having embraced Dream Warriors and everything, science surrounding this phenomenon had not advanced as much as people wished.

Consumable items that helped people grow stronger with their Dream Hearts was nonexistent at this moment, or perhaps still being within prototype stages inside of laboratories.

Therefore, this Dream Elixir was the first to have ever been made of its type, that actually worked and helped people not only refill their Dream Essence, but that strengthened the Dream Heart permanently.

"So yeah, I made it," Maria nodded. "As you saw with Emily, it works, so go ahead and drink it. This is my gift for everyone to get stronger. This world is dangerous after all!"

"B-But wouldn't this cost millions?" Alma gasped. "Maybe I should save it and… Ah, no, I'm joking! I'll drink it!"

Alma got a bit scared after seeing Maria's glare, and quickly just drank the Elixir.

"I guess… here goes nothing!" Martina drank it completely.

"Ah, okay… I'm doing this I guess," Sofia muttered. "Gulp, gulp, gulp…"

FLUOSH!

The group drank the Elixirs, their Auras surging, becoming stronger and larger, just as Maria expected.
