Transmigrated as a Ghost

As the battle for Valenhart raged on, the ground shook and the sky cracked as the two forces engaged in a fierce battle.

Blasts of mana and large range spells crashed against each other as the liberation army did its best to defend against the kingdom’s army.

However, while some of the battles were evenly matched and others where slightly in the favor of either side, one of the fronts had already begun to crumble.

Currently Lyra was doing her best to protect her troops as they fell back to the city’s walls, their fort already having been all but destroyed.

‘Now.’

Pressing the detonator in her hand, Lyra used the forts second function which was as a massive bomb.

Quickly the mana furnace within it became unstable, and fueled by thousands of magic cores a huge explosion engulfed the area.

This explosion which had power equivalent to a tier eight spell, devastated the area, and killed the few thousands of troops that had been perusing Lyra’s retreat closely._.

These troops had gotten overtaken by their zeal and wanted to push the attack on their fleeing enemies, only to walk into a trap.

Alas, even as powerful as this explosion was, it came to a stop as it crashed against the barrier created by the mobile strongholds which were capable of taking attacks that were far stronger.

Still, this bought Lyra and her troops time to fall back to their secondary and more defensible location.

Yet it was not enough, as the three individuals that were the main cause of Lyra’s hasty withdraw, came to finish the job.

‘Awaken.’

With no other choice but to engage, Lyra used her full power and launched herself and her clones at the three people that were her biggest threats.

‘Fox Fire Inferno.’

Using one of her strongest attacks, Lyra and her clones began blazing with her bluish sliver flames and unleashed them into one massive attack.

“Tidal Sphere.”

However, before her attack could hit the three figures that were hovering in the sky and looking down on her, one of them cast a tier six water magic spell, which smothered Lyra’s flames.

“Now this is a surprise. I figured you would sacrifice your troops to escape. Are you going to let poor Kazimir’s sacrifice be in vain?” One of the people facing off against Lyra said tauntingly, as he threw the halfling’s head towards Lyra.

With a grim look on her face Lyra said, “No I am going to avenge him. Elvind, why don’t you take me on alone, or do you really need two elite mages to help you. In the past you beat me on your own, or is your rank of sixteen just for show and you are afraid to fight me now.” Lyra said, trying to play on Elvind’s vanity.

Unfortunately, Lyra’s provocation did not have any effect on Elvind who simply said, “I have no reason to fight you in a one-on-one duel Jadzia. This is a war. At the end of the day all that matters is who wins.”

After saying that Elvind charged towards her, knowing which one of her forms was the real one since he had been given a special magic tool that had locked onto her mana signature.

At the same time the two elite mages that were accompanying Elvind cast tier five spells over a large area to encompass Jadzia’s clones and Illusions.

‘Roxene now!’

Receiving Lyra’s signal, Roxene who had been hidden high above by Lyra’s magic descended towards the three powerful combatants facing off against Lyra.

“Owooooo.”

Howling loudly, Roxene’s form began to erupt with a powerful light, and an oppressive darkness as she combined her howl of day and howl of night.

A blast of power similar to Marcus’ eclipse meteor, descend towards Lyra and the three opponents she was fighting.

This attack had a massive range, and as it fell, the two elite mages had to hastily drop the spells they were casting and switch to their best defensive spells instead.

As for Elvind, he got greedy and lunged towards Lyra with his spear, aiming right for her head.

Yet as he was about to kill her, she disappeared replaced by one of her clones.

A moment later, Roxene’s attack hit and continued on, blasting into the ground and boring a hole through it as the massive beam of light and darkness descend.

It was an impressive display of power that was easily equal to a tier seven spell, and was certain to not leave anyone inside it unscathed.

Luckily, Lyra had moved her clones away from the area of the blast, and sacrificing one of them had managed to avoid being caught up in Roxene’s most destructive attack.

‘How are you doing.’ Lyra asked Roxene as she landed next to her.

Of course, after using both of her unique skills in tandem, along with having her supreme skill active, Roxene was feeling a bit worn out.

At the very least, since it was currently dusk when both the day and night were mixed, the backlash of her unique skills was not as bad as it could have been.

‘I will be fine. But I doubt I will be able to unleash another attack of that level without taking myself out of this fight.’

Nodding her head, Lyra could understand that Roxene had used up a great deal of her strength in that last attack, and that she could not count on her again for a similar level of support.

Tch!

Clicking her tongue as the smoke cleared, it was clear that Elvind and the two elite mages with him had survived.

They had each used their strongest defenses and had even had to use some disposable items, but they had taken Roxene’s full power attack.

Still, they did not get out without injury, and both of the elite mages had burns from the light energy all over their bodies, and Elvind was riddled with corrosion as the darkness lingered on him.
