As all of my party fought, I was being swarmed by the powerful and dexterous Ant General Knights. However, I wasn't without my many unconventional tricks, and one of them was to just divide my body into countless phantasmal arms to catch on them all! Now this is the time to break my limits.
The Ants were all struggling to keep up with me, I could tell they had higher Attack Stat than I did, but thanks to my amazing phantasmal body, I had the high ground, even more when I had a little friend at my side now, the ferocious Ant Knight was unleashing countless attacks, protecting me as I was his new Queen.
However, the other Ant General Knights surrounded him and began to pierce through his body. He was weaker than when he was alive, like most Undead I raised unless I used System Points to enhance them into new and powerful beings.
But that was a nice thing, to be honest, he had all the ants around him!
"Sorry bud, rest in peace, [Undead Detonation]!"
The Knight who served me for only a few minutes looked back at me as its entire body glowed with bright purple light.
Aw come on, don't look at me like that!
Ah well, he exploded at the end, easily taking down the others that were attacking him. But out of pity, I sighed and then grabbed back his soul.
"Okay, okay, I get it, you want to keep being with me?" I looked at the Ant's soul, as he nodded happily.
I quickly opened my Soul Grimoire without even caring about the countless explosions and battles around my surroundings as I quickly used my shadows to grab several corpses in the floor and… I guess this should do.

"Alright I've got everything! Rise, [Abyssal Ant Death General Dark Magic Knight]!"
Suddenly, an enormous eruption of black light emerged in front of me, both my allies and my foes stopped what they were doing, glaring at the enormous amount of energy spent. The power of System Points really made them all surprise, I guess whatever System Points are, they're an incredible type of high-quality essence.
All the materials quickly merged together, forming a three-meter-tall ant knight covered from head to toe with black and purple exoskeleton, decorated with spikes and other markings. Its head had two enormous red eyes, with its wings resembling those of moths, purple, red, and black, beautifully decorated with roses and skulls. Its arms were thin but powerful, with sharp claws that could easily slice through foes, its antennas twitched a bit, as its soul entered its newly formed body.
[You have created the [Abyssal Ant Death General Dark Magic Knight] [Rank: A+]!]
"Let's give you a pretty name, how about Lancelot, my loyal knight?"
[Lancelot] has been designed as the newly raised Undead's name]
[Lancelot] acquired the [Loyal Death Guard] [Knight of the Queen of Death] [Dark Magic Swordsman] and [One In A Thousand] Title Skills!]
[Lancelot] acquired the [Abyssal Blade Swordsmanship], [Abyssal Knight's Guard] [Magical Parry] [Black Castle Defensive Technique] [Unleash Miasmic Fury] and [Abyssal Domain of One Hundred Black Swords] Skills!]
I couldn't help but feel completely shocked by Lancelot's powerup, his sole figure irradiated power alone. Even Lucifer directed his gaze to him and then back to me.
"Did you had to raise such an overpowered ant?" He wondered.
"Well he really begged for it!" I sighed. "Come on, I've got a soft spot for souls."
"He seems powerful, I guess we can let him become your bodyguard, especially when your other powerful Undead aren't here." Said Lucifer.
At the distance, Gero was groaning angrily as if he wasn't being recognized, he had been currently flying in the sky using his newly acquired wings as he became a Winged Salamander, and was unleashing poison and venom everywhere.
"Thank you very much for giving me a second chance, master. This time, I will serve you well so I don't explode once more." Lancelot spoke, quickly shocking me.
"Y-You can speak?! Ah, well then, Lancelot, you've got a bunch of new Skills, use them to prove me your strength!" I said.
"Very well!" Lancelot swiftly flew down into the army of Ants, which was now reduced to a bit less than half of their original numbers.
His body moved swiftly, like a black and purple blur, he began slicing through foes without even having to directly touch them, his very presence was sharp like a sword, and that domain he summoned made it possible for him to unleash countless black swords around his surroundings, quickly slaying more and more Ants without even faltering a single second, he was really going hard for me, and it made me smile slightly evilly as I saw him dance with his new cursed blade, which came included with his creation and was apparently a part of his own body, so it could evolve and was even alive!
Countless sliced pieces of ants began flying everywhere, as everyone in our party was left speechless. Lancelot made quick work of every single Worker Ant except the Goliaths, too big and powerful for his blade to easily defeat them, so we had to cooperate in that moment. However, as he flew back to me with a pile of over a hundred ants behind him, he acted like a loyal butler and lowered his head.
"Master, have I done a good job?" He wondered. "Is this enough to prove myself?"
"A-Ah… Yeah, good boy." I said, head patting him.
Although he remained calm, I could tell he got happy as his antennas began twitching around happily.
"Now, help us out in defeating those Goliaths protecting the eggs, we have to destroy as many as we find asap to not let them multiply any longer!" I said.
"Understood." Lancelot quickly flew directly into the foe, without even thinking it twice.
"Wait! Don't just jump into it!" I sighed.
