Transmigrated as a Ghost

Looking at the monstrous abominations that were forming all around Teivel, Marcus could only grimace at the sight.

Just one of these things were able to put him on the back foot before, and he had already used the most powerful sacred magic talismans that Tesia had given him.

Also, he could tell from their presences that some of these horrors were far stronger than the Dreadmouth Teivel has summoned earlier.

As for Teivel himself. He was currently raving like a mad man as his soul was burned for fuel to allow these creatures to form in a world that they did not belong in.

But before they were able to completely manifest, Marcus quickly made the decision to take decisive action.

'Sorry Tesia, it looks like I will not be able to keep my promise to you.'

Pulling out his scythe Marcus through it in front of him and turned it on its side, preparing to fire a railgun.

'Embodiment of Eclipse, Harmony Form.'

Activating his supreme skill, Marcus' power and presence rose another degree as thus far he had only been using embodiment of light.

He had not wanted to reveal his power of darkness to Teivel in order to keep him on his toes, but now he needed everything he could muster.

'Eclipse Railgun.'

After finishing all of his preparations as fast as possible, Marcus let lose one of his strongest attacks, firing his iron sphere that was the size of a bowling ball at just a bit under Mach Eight.

Within less than one tenth of a second the iron sphere had propelled itself right in front of Teivel and was only a few millimeters away when it abruptly stopped.

It was a completely incomprehensible reaction, as a projectile moving many times the speed of sound had simply stopped, all of its force seemingly canceled.

And an instant afterward the iron sphere that was still churning with the power of light and darkness began to disintegrate.

Of course, Marcus realized quickly what had stopped his attack, as he saw a ghastly form a being that looked like two bodies wrapped around itself with wings made of tumorous hovering behind Teivel.

And continuing with its terrifying appearance it also had two long arms that formed into over size gangly hands, which at the end of each finger were what looked like a smaller set of its already horrific hands.

'It is warping reality.'

Looking at this creature, Marcus could see that everything within around ten feet of it had turned weird, and he could only assume that it had somehow stopped his railgun with its strange abilities.

Soon, the other eldritch horrors began to come into reality and Marcus stared at two dozen nightmare creature that would definitely haunt him for the rest of his life.

'It was a good run, but I am out.'

Having no desire whatsoever to try and face off against these creatures that had just appeared from Teivel's grimoire. Marcus went back into his ghost form and was about to float away when he received a telepathic communication from Argus.

'I have just destroyed the last mana furnace, and the building itself is pretty wrecked, so all the formations are down as you asked.'

With the second part of his mission complete, Marcus stopped his retreat and looked back at the monstrosities that were all around Teivel, and certainly about to begin killing everything living being in the Sky Citadel.

In a snap decision he decided to stay now that things had once again shifted, and pulled out the portal token Tesia had given him.

He then flicked it into the air activating the magic sealed within while also sending a telepathic message to Marek.

'The prison's defenses are down, and many of the prisoners are free. It is time to strike.'

After sending out the message to attack he turned his attention to the coin he had flipped into the air, which quickly widened until it became a large open portal which Tesia stepped out of.

She had a resolute expression on her face and her lightly glowing robe shimmered with power.

As Marcus looked at her and then her brother, it was quite the contrast as she looked like an almost divine figure radiating peace and tranquility, while her brother was steeped in darkness and death surrounded by horrid creatures.

Naturally, when Tesia saw this, she frowned since she did not know what power her brother had used to conjure these abominations that had a sickly air about them as if their purpose in life was only to create anguish.

Immediately, one of the monsters which looked a bit like a tangle of lampreys struck towards Tesia, not waiting for its summoner's command.

But as it got close to her, a translucent golden wall appeared and prevented the creature from advancing.

In fact, much to Tesia's surprise, her sacred wall spell caused the creature to begin sizzling and scream out in pain as it came into contact.

She had never once seen any being be harmed by her sacred magic that specialized in protecting and sealing.

"Teivel what is this? What have you brought here?" Tesia said in a very concerned tone.

She could see that Teivel did not look normal, his veins were pulsing black, and his eyes had changed to a horrid yellow.

Also, these creatures were all vile, and she could not imagine what sort of horrific ability had brought them about.

However, her brother seemed to not even notice her and in a raspy voice said, "Kill. Kill everything."

Having received their orders, the eldritch horrors began going off in different directions, some heading for the largest congregations of nearby life sources, others going to where they sensed the weakest traces of life barely clinging on, and a few charging towards Tesia.

"None of you are leaving."

Tesia then began casting a spell, not wanting any of these creatures to get loose and begin killing people. But as her mana was building up, the strongest of the monstrosities stretched its arms out towards her at a blinding speed.

Yet right before they hit her, Marcus who had been hidden nearby in his ghost form reappeared, already having position himself to defend Tesia.

Slashing down with his scythe Marcus sent all of the power of his supreme skill into it, turning the blade into a juggernaut of light and darkness.

Except as it hit the creature's arms the blade stopped as the space around it became weird and twisted like before.

Marcus then saw as his arms distort as well, until they broke apart into nothing and his scythe went flying away from him as its blade and handle warped and bent ever so slightly.

Luckily Marcus' intervention had managed to divert the attack away from Tesia and she was able to finish her spell.

'Hallowed Binding.'

Immediately a golden light spread out from Tesia and turned into golden chains that began wrapping around the horrific creatures and Teivel.

This was Tesia's own original tier eight sacred magic spell, and it completely immobilized any targets while also prevented them from causing any sort of harm.

As soon as the chains wrapped around these eldritch beings, they began to burn and turn to smoke while letting out pained screams of agony.

Even the strongest of them was not immune, and its reality warping abilities seemed to be unable to affect the sacred chains.
