Transmigrated as a Ghost

Once he stepped out of the portal, he had been following his opponent down Quillon found himself in an overgrown jungle.

This was the arena that his fight would take place in against the devil that he had been instructed to fight.

Of course, he had wanted to fight the Archdevil, but Marcus had taken what he considered to be the best fight for himself.

In the end he got pushed all the way down to the fourth highest level devil since he would be fighting on his own. Though this was not technically true since his contracted spirit was with him. Though he had no intention of using her powers.

'Great. They have hidden themselves within the foliage.' Quillon thought when he looked for his opponent.

The devil he was fighting had legs like a grasshopper and was the only one that did not have leather wings like a bat and instead had wings that resembled a dragonfly.

They were also the smallest of the devils and were only around four feet tall.

'This is a pain I wish they would just come out and fight me.'

His sword at the ready Quillon waited for nearly a minute for something to happen but the devil did not show itself.

He was starting to get impatient and was about to use one of the powers of his supreme skill to cut down the entire area when the devil finally made its appearance.

"Hehe, you really do not let your guard down no matter what. I was waiting for you to either relax or for your nerves to have you too on edge to react properly." The devil said from above in the trees in a taunting manner.

However, the second it spoke Quillon cut down the tree it was in with one swift motion of his blade.

The devil though while a bit surprised by how fast Quillon could move easily moved to another tree while the first one fell.

"You are stronger than I expected. No wonder you are so confident. But you are still only an insignificant human even if you are strong. It is only a matter of time before you fall to me."

After saying this the devil disappeared again and Quillon was left standing alone in a small clearing he had made with his sword.

He was hoping that the devil might actually try to attack him but it just jept its distance.

It was after another few dozen seconds that he realized what it was doing.

"Poison huh." He said when he felt a slight tingling in his body.

"That is right. You have been sitting there unaware, already caught in my trap. Now that the poison is in your system you will be completely unable to stand against me." The devil he was fighting said while snicking.

In a flash it jumped out of the tree it had been hiding in and began bouncing off multiple trees that surrounded Quilon and building up an impressive amount of speed.

Every time it launched itself off another tree it left a deep indent in its bark from the immense amount of power in its legs.

It was moving so fast that Quillon was not a hundred percent certain that he could deliver a killing blow if he attacked it head on. So instead, he simply held up his sword and sheathed it. Waiting for the attack to come at him.

He had his right hand placed on his hilt and his left on his sheath ready to deliver a counterattack.

Seeing this the devil mocked him, saying that he would never have any chance against its speed when he was poisoned.

Finally, once the devil had built up its maximum speed it launched itself right towards Quillon and the tree it had used as a spring broad cracked and shattered.

Its entire body was propelled far faster than sound, and in the blink of an eye it seemed it would hit Quillon and tear through him.

Yet instead, in a movement the devil could barely even follow as Quillon unsheathed his blade, turned around, and with one clean motion cut the devil in half from the right side of its waste to its left shoulder.

"Ten Greatest Techniques, Guided Strike."

With a loud crash the two halves smashed into the ground and left deep craters in the dirt.

The lower half twitched as blood and organ sprayed out and the upper half coughed up a fountain of green blood while it tried to desperately keep from dying through sheer force of mana.

It just barely was staying alive by using its mana to keep its remaining organs from falling out and to quicken its regeneration.

Nevertheless, Quillon was not going to just let it recover and slowly walked his way over to where its upper half was.

He sighed when he saw the devil and a look of absolute disappointment was on his face.

"I knew I should have fought harder to fight a stronger opponent. This was incredibly boring. Even the one that Lyra and Inten and Blitz got looked stronger even if they were lower levels." Quillon grumbled.

"How?! How are you able to move like that while being affected by my poison? The devil said unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Even if normally if Quillon was able to move like that, there was no way he should have had the strength while being ravaged by deadly poison.

"Hm, oh. I have poison resistance, and your poison is pretty weak. It made me feel just the slightest bit sluggish, but nothing more."

After he said this the devil truly understood what kind of monster it had been up against, and before it even knew what was going on its head rolled limply off its body.

…

AS Quillon was dealing with his enemy easily enough Lilia was having a similar experience.

Marcus being as overprotective as he was, put her up against one of the weaker devils, and she was easily overpowering them

The devils she was fighting was fairly large, standing nine feet tall and had four heavily muscled arms that each wiled a thick black club.

Yet instead of Lilia begin the one batter and bruised, it was the devil.

She had been easily pummeling him since the start of the fight, and his clubs could not even leave a scratch on her when they hit.

In fact, they were so low of a threat that many times she did not even bother dodging even when hit in places where she did not have armor.

"I think I almost felt that one." She said as she delivered another punch which caused another dent in the devil's heavily banged up armor.

He let out a loud wheeze of pain and flew backwards into the wall of the enclosed arena they had been brought to.

Blood was dribbling down his body from numerous wounds and two of its our arms lay limply at its side. His bones shattered into dozens of pieces.

Lilia was taking this fight a bit slower than she could have, but that was because she really wanted to test out how strong she was after her recent evolution.

This was the first battle against what could be considered a powerful opponent since she had evolved, but it was more lackluster than she had been hoping for.

'I guess I should end this soon.' She thought as she walked over to the battered devil.

There was fear in his eyes as he watched the young woman less than half his size approach.

He had used all of his strongest attacks on her and only his strongest unique skill attack even forced her to block.

"Stay back! I do not know what you are but there is no way you are human!" The devil screamed out, waving his clubs as Lilia approached.

It was almost funny to see a large devil shouting in terror at a young girl, but for this devil, Lilia was more akin to a monster.

From the start he had felt something off about her. In a similar way that people felt an aversion to devils and demons as a sort of natural instinct, this devil felt something similar towards Lilia.

"In a way you are right. I am not really a human anymore even if I used to be one." Lilia said as she pointed her right hand at the devil.

So far, she had only sued physical attack, but she figured she would finish it off with magic since it would be less messy.

"Disintegrate."

A thin light green beam fired out from Lilia's extended index finger as she cast the strongest tier seven force magic spell she had received from the special dungeon.

The devil, who was her enemy tired to cross his clubs in front of him to block the attack, but when the thin green beam hit, the devil's clubs turned to dust and his body soon followed as the force spell broke him down at the molecular level.

"Looks like Marcus was worried for nothing. I did not have to use any of my trump cards, and certainly did not need my strongest." Lilia said while looking down at the pile of ash that had been her opponent

A moment later a white portal opened up that would lead her to one of her companions who were embroiled in their own battles.

"I hope that Aurelia and Zareen are okay. Their enemy looked fairly tough even if they were the lowest level." Lilia said as she entered the portal and raced to help whoever was at the end of it.
