Transmigrated as a Ghost

With Mrazivý cured of her disease and the two demons that had been fighting with her dealt with. Marcus turned his attention back towards the members of the royal family who were working with demons.

They were currently attacking Frostine and her retinue, and by the looks of it, things were not going well even though it had been less than a minute.

In that time Mrazivý’s uncle, Vaughn had been busy summoning more demons, which were fighting hard against Frostine’s and Kalt’s knights.

Most of these demons were humanoid in shape, though they had the heads and cloven feet of goats and ashen skin that was horribly mutated all over.

In their hands they held blades made of flames and their hooves were glowing red from extreme heat.

As Marcus sent out a quick round of appraisals, he found them to all be between level twenty-seven and thirty-two.

They had skills like flame breath and flame control, which seemed to be their signature abilities, but along with that they had other demonic traits like demonic body that made them tougher to kill.

Unfortunately, those demons were the least of Frostine’s and Kalt’s worries as there were three other demons that were far stronger._.

Two of them seemed to be the same species and were as big as horses.

They both seemed to have the body of locusts buzzing wings included, but at the end of their body was a large scorpion tail and stinger. And where their heads would be was a humanoid torso sticking out which had to sharp claws for hands and a sickly green colored face that was warped and had jaws like the mandibles of a bug.

After an appraisal Marcus found one of them to be level fifty-eight, and the other to be level fifty-seven. Both formidable foes that were able to go head-to-head with the strongest knights protecting Frostine and Kalt.

However, it was the final one that was the most threating.

It was a hulking creature over twenty feet tall and had huge claws like that of a crab for its larger set of limbs. Its other set of limbs in contrast looked like malformed humanoid arms which it could use to grab ahold of people while it bit them in half with its mouth filled with razor sharp teeth.

Along with all that it had yellow eyes that seemed to be able to cause paralyzing fear to any who saw it, and its large, clawed feet like a t-rex’s were red with the blood of people it had squashed.

‘Level sixty-three.’

Seeing its level Marcus knew they were in trouble as demons were often outclassing those at the same level as them. Being at least as strong as epic grade beasts around the same level.

Then there was the other problem.

Vaughn and Braylen were still hovering above the battlefield looking down on it from above on top of their demon mounts who were themselves level fifty-nine.

Soith on the other hand was raging on the front lines with an adamantine ax in his hands that looked to be cursed.

On his left arm was also a device that was pumping small quantities of demon essence into his body in order to make him stronger but prevent him from going into an overdose state.

Seeing all this it was clear to Marcus that they were in for an incredibly difficult battle.

This was a threat that could easily destroy the entire city if left unchecked, and right now the time was practically perfect as most of the kingdom’s strongest combatants were gone.

Either they had gone to the emergency summit called by the adventurers guild, or they were in Tralenstein shoring up the borders and making sure that the southern kingdoms did not try anything else after Boreas had tossed them out.

‘I thought this was an attack against me and Mrazivý from those who hated us, but they seem to have just been disposable pawns.’ Marcus thought the instant after he finished analyzing the battlefield.

He had picked up all this information in just three seconds by firing his mind on all cylinders and Mrazivý had pretty much done the same.

‘Roxene, Inten, Blitz! Come to my location at full speed right now. We have an emergency and holding anything back is not an option.’ Marcus said as he called out to his beast companions.

An instant later Marcus received positive responses from all of his beast companions who were already running at full speed to arrive at the venue.

“Mraz you go protect you sister. I will deal with your uncle and brother who seem to be the masterminds behind this.” Marcus said with a harsh tone.

They were in a dangerous situation and running was no longer an option now that things had escalated this far. If they did not do all they could, the people they cared about were going to get killed and their home was going to be destroyed.

For a moment Mrazivý hesitated and looked back towards Lilia, but when she saw that Marcus had left an iron golem behind to protect her she no longer worried.

“Fine. I wish I could deal with those traitors myself, but I do not want to be hit by that disease wave again. I know you will be fine but be careful.” Mrazivý said before she flew off towards her sister who was in a tight spot.

Of course, Marcus wanted to go with her, but he knew that if he left Braylen and Vaughn to do as they liked it would likely lead to a worse outcome.

‘No need to hold back. I need to be quick.’

‘Embodiment of Eclipse, Bright Form.’

Shooting of towards his opponents Marcus charged up his scythe and attack ferociously to make sure he broke through their defenses.

‘Powerful Slash.’

Using the first attack skill he learned, he brought down his scythe on top of the currently unattended vulture like demon that was Soith’s mount.

Naturally the high-level demon sensed Marcus coming and created a barrier around itself and raised its clawed hands up to block.

Yet it did not matter.

With the enhanced power of his supreme skill Marcus sliced through the barrier and the demon’s claws like butter and cleaved the demon in half vertically.

But he did not stop there as it was falling apart, he hit it with a full powered flamethrower spell that emitted flames over four thousand degrees Fahrenheit.

The cooling effect that all of the ice magic that had been thrown out in the hall was turned around all in one go, as the place heated up multiple degrees from Marcus intense use of fire magic.

To his surprise though the demons’ corpse was not turned to complete ash and seemed to have just been charred heavily showing that they were quite resistant to fire.

Still, it was not getting back up after that and its tow halves fell to the floor and only the slightest bit of blood that avoided being vaporized oozed out of it as it began to disintegrate into grey dust.

‘One down, four to go.’ Marcus thought as he turned his gaze towards the other two vulture demons and their riders.
