Transmigrated as a Ghost

'Embodiment of Eclipse, Harmony Form.'

Activating his supreme skill, Marcus' body began to emit a terribly bright light from his right side, while his left side became wreathed in torrents of darkness.

The two opposing forces then met in the middle, where they began swirling around fusing with each other creating a perpetual circular whirlpool on Marcus' torso.

Marcus could feel an immense surge of power flow through him, although it also came with an overwhelming pressure that threaten to crush him should he use this power for too long.

Now enhanced by his supreme skill Marcus shot forward with blinding speed and deflected the demon's blade arm away from itself.

With the demon's attempt to activate its escape ability thwarted, it glared towards Marcus who was standing in its way and began slashing wildly, while the dark blue jellyfish under its control shot blades of water and bolts of lightning at him.

With attacks coming at him from all sides Marcus once again cast his radiance scales spell, becoming more and more happy that he had gotten it instead of some powerful attack.

The bolts of lightning, and blades of water began bouncing off of Marcus' magical protection and with the demon in front of him Marcus deflected its blade arms with his scythe, as the two were locked in a desperate struggle.

However, the demon was still focusing on escape and after overpowering Marcus for just a mometn and pushing him back, the demon had the dark blue jelly fish move to crush Marcus, not caring whether it lived or died.

Except before the jellyfish could do anything, a massive blast of light shot through its body and the creature let out a blood curdling shrill as Veunlux attacked it.

'Darkness Drill, Laser.'

Combing his two tier four spells, Marcus fired both of them towards the demon that was hoping to make its escape, making sure to keep the pressure on so it would not get away.

Screaming out in frustration the demon pointed both of its arms forward and a sphere of darkness blasted out towards Marcus' spells.

The two attacks collided and battle for supremacy before they both exploded in a burst of darkness and light.

The demon hoping to take this moment to flee, began running away from Marcus trying to make enough distance to activate its escape ability.

'Not this time.'

Having busted out his tier five iron magic spell along with the rest of his buff spells, Marcus flew forward like a rocket and intercepted the demon before it could even take one step as he unleashed a barrage of attacks.

With iron feathers flying, four tendrils of shadows lashing, his spectral arm sending out punches against the demon's body, and numerous slashes coming from his scythe, Marcus was quickly overpowering the demon as it accumulated hundreds of minor wounds using its all just to block Marcus' more deadly attacks.

Nevertheless, the demon was not done yet and knowing that Marcus had no intention to let it escape, began to use its full power to win.

The demon's body suddenly bulged up its muscles becoming bigger and more pronounced, and a shimmering dark aura began to come of its body, not unlike Marcus' embodiment of darkness.

With its power increased Marcus' attacks suddenly became less effective and the demon began pushing him back its physical stats now greatly raised.

Unfortunately for the demon Marcus was not its only opponent and Veunlux who had just finished off the dark blue jellyfish, sent multiple blasts of light at the demon.

After taking a couple of the light blasts head on, the demon once again brought forth its swirling void of darkness that began to greedily eat all of Veunlux's light blasts.

As the demon did its best to defend against Marcus' and Veunlux's onslaught, the two of them soon began to overpower the demon, and in a desperate last attempt, it caused the dark void around it to being shrinking, getting ready to unleash another powerful explosion even if it would injury itself.

However, in a flash of light Veunlux appeared right next to the demon and sent its horn into the void and a powerful light erupted from it overwhelming the demon's spell.

As the dark void was being erased the demon took this opportunity to slash out towards Veunlux who had kept its distance so far, but as it tried to move its arm it found that dozens of iron threads had wrapped around it.

The demon then tried to slash its other arm towards the iron threads, but Marcus was not going to let this simply happen and cast a heighten lighting bind to keep the demon's other arm in place, even if only for a fraction of a second.

'This is the end.'

With the demon being incapacitated for just a moment Marcus flew right up to its chest and stabbed his scythe in deep and the demon's black ichor like blood began gushing out.

Feeling the searing pain in its chest the demon sent a burst of darkness to destroy the spells that were binding it before bringing both of its blade arms down to slash through Marcus.

Yet its blades never reached Marcus as Veunlux charged forward and stabbed its horn right into the demons' face, and with a huge blast of light, blew off its head.

With the demon's heart and head destroyed, its huge body began to collapse as Marcus let out a sigh of relief since he was nearing his limit.

The demon's body then flared up with energy and its head began to grow back and the hole in its chest closed.

The demon coming back to life had already begun its attack on Marcus and Veunlux, who were completely caught off guard.

With expert use of its blade arms, the demon sent one towards Marcus and the other towards Veunlux, slicing Marcus in half at the waist and impaling Veunlux like a skewer.

Feeling himself separated from his lower half, Marcus began falling from the air as his spells began to crumble and his supreme skill started to dissipate.

Gray mist began to gush out of him at an alarming rate and Marcus felt his strength fading fast.

'Is this how I am going to die again.'

Looking up as he was falling in two pieces Marcus saw the smirk on the demon's face as it watched the silver blood drip from its blade arm that had completely impaled Veunlux.

Anger began to well up inside Marcus, he was not going to let this demon look down on him like that, and he certainly was not going to let it do the same to Lilia or Mrazivý.

Summoning up all of the strength he had left in him, Marcus began erupting with darkness and light, and channeling all of that power into his scythe he slashed towards the demon as his scythe began to extend.

The powerful slash of darkness and light came flying towards the demon who had thought it had won.

It made the same mistake that Marcus and Veunlux had made in letting its guard down after a perceived victory, and now it was its turn to suffer.

Hastily bringing one of its blade arms to defend itself, the demon felt Marcus' slash stop for just and instance before it sliced right through the demon's blade arm and cut it apart from waist to shoulder.

However, Marcus was not done yet as he brought the blade back around and sliced through the top of the demon's head cutting it in half like a water melon.

Marcus then felt all of his strength leave him as his leg less torso hit the ground.

With the rush of rage that had come over him gone; Marcus began to feel the pain of having his body cut in half as he struggled to stay together.

Yet before worrying about his deteriorating situation, Marcus struggled to lift his head and look towards the demon.

He was not sure if it would revive again, but if it did, he would be powerless to do anything this time.

Luckily as he looked at the remains of its body he watched as it began to dissolve into a dark mist until its magic core dropped onto the ground with a loud thud.

Out of mana, out of strength, and feeling the intense backlash from using his supreme skill for too long, Marcus could tell he might not make it even as his regeneration skills tried to repair him.

That was until he received a series of messages from the system.

Ding!

'You have leveled up to level 40.'

'Three blessings detected, removing limiter.'

'Integrated power source mythic spirt gem detected, increasing utilized output.'

Marcus after receiving these messages suddenly felt a wave of power wash over him and his lower body began to slowly reform.. He could tell that the spirt gem inside him that he thought had already used up all of its power had actually just been dormant, waiting for him to be strong enough to handle more of its power.
