Transmigrated as a Ghost

At the same time as Marcus everyone else followed behind their own opponents and began fights of their own.

Alaric once he appeared on the other end of the path her had gone down found himself surround by magma.

There were platforms of earth that dotted the molten lake, but other than that there was nowhere to stand.

'This really is a disadvantage battlefield for me.' Alaric thought as he looked towards at his enemy who was confidently standing on the largest platform in the center of the magma lake.

The devil he was facing was level sixty-eight and five levels higher than he was.

Still, she was one of them weaker subordinates of the archdevil and the one that Alaric had said he would take on.

'Freeze Zone.'

Alaric cast a tier five ice magic spell around him which dropped the temperature in the area to well below zero degrees and the magma in his way rapidly cooled off and turned solid.

He then walked across his new path and made his way to the central platform by creating his own road across the lake of magma.

When he arrived, the devil waiting for him clapped her hands enthusiastically like she had just finished watching a good show.

"That was impressive. I did not think you would be able to cool off the magma so easily. You are not one of the weak human rabbles, but a special one. My name is Yarissa. What might yours be?"

Warry of what this devil was trying to do by making seemingly cordial conversation, Alaric narrowed his gaze and tried to figure out her intent.

"There is no need to give me such a nasty glare. I just asked you for your name and even gave mine first. I think I am being quite nice, seeing as how you are a lesser species."

Hearing this, Alaric figured out what this devil was doing. She was simply playing with him. She was not taking this seriously and did not think of him as a threat.

"Fine, my name is Alaric Skalbeck. Now are we going to fight, or did you simply bring me to this arena to talk?"

Alaric then leveled his staff towards Yarissa and began accumulating mana at the tip of it.

However, while he figured his blatantly hostile action would begin the battle, his enemy did not attack.

Instead, she just pouted, and said, "Yes, I was planning on talking the whole time. I am not much for fighting. I find it boring. There is not nearly as much fun in bending someone to your will by overpowering them. I will let the others have their battles, and instead we can talk. I think I am starting to like you, so how about you become mine. We only need nine of your friends' souls now, so if you give up and submit to me, I can make sure to take you with us as my slave."

After saying that Yarissa pushed out her fairly large chest as if to tempt Alaric and gave him a sultry gaze.

She was quite confident in her looks, and she had gotten plenty of men to bow before her long ago prior to being trapped in the special dungeon along with the Archdevil she served.

In response though, Alaric just scoffed and gave her a pitying smile.

"Perhaps if I had not met my goddess that would have been alluring, but in compassion to her, you are pretty much trash. You are not even close to as beautiful outwardly and your personally is rotten to the core."

Hearing this from Alaric, Yarissa's face twisted into one of absolute fury, and her pretty face became quite warped.

"What did you say you little shit? There is no one more beautiful than me! I have brought a thousand men to ruin with my beauty, and a little boy like you will not insult me. Since you are the first person I have had a chance at in over a thousand years, I thought I might be nice and even offer to turn you into a devil as well if you accepted my generous proposition. But now I think even being a slave is too good for you. I will make you my mindless pet, but not before carving up this so-called goddess of yours and laying her mangled corpse at your feet while I eat her soul." Yarissa raved.

She was absolutely livid after Alaric's insult, and she began pulsating with a dark power.

While she did not like to fight, that did not mean she was not powerful and able to crush most opponents that were around the same level as her.

Yet as she was building up power, she suddenly noticed that the smoke around her that she thought was coming from the magma had coiled around her legs.

'Smoke Serpent.'

Alaric's tier six spell that he had gotten from the special dungeon began crushing his enemy, and it opened its mouth and dug its sharp fangs into her shoulder.

It quickly began injecting toxic smoke into her body and her body began to swell.

She let out a bloodcurdling scream as this happened and tried struggling against the spell Alaric had been preparing since he entered.

"You never should have underestimated me and let your perception slip. This battle ended before it even began because of your lack of awareness."

But before Alaric's spell could finish the job, Yarissa let out a loud shout and she ripped away Alaric's smoke serpent with her claws.

"Don't think I will go down to such a weak sneak attack! I am a devil that has lived for nearly thirteen hundred years! I am not going to be killed by a child like you!"

Once she had fished screaming out in anger towards Alaric, she held her hands forward and began amassing more mana as she prepared to use her strongest attack from one of her unique skills.

"Did you think that I had only cast one spell while you were talking. I said this battle was already over."

With the tap of his staff Alaric activated the other two spells that he had cast already, and manacles of smoke appeared around Yarissa's arms and legs and pulled taught against the walls the area they were in.

Then her body began to freeze solid from the ice coffin spell Alaric had prepared.

Of course, neither of these spells could finish off a devil as powerful as Yarissa, and the ice covering her was slowly cracking and the manacles bending under the pressure of her strength.

Nevertheless, Alaric only used these to bind her for a moment and held out his staff to deliver the finishing blow.

'Access Spell Storage. Deploy tier six hurricane fury, tier five glacial lance, tier five smoke missiles, and tier six necrotic coating.'

Using one of his unique skill, Alaric brought out four spells he had cast ahead of time and used them almost instantaneously.

Though he then even went one step further and fused all for spells together into one powerful magic attack with his second unique skill Mold Magic.

It allowed him to seamlessly blend his spells together even if normally it would be impossible. Albeit at the cost of an extreme amount of mana.

But luckily his evolution gave him plenty thanks to his strongest race ability boundless mana which gave him four times the amount of mana he would normally have

Alaric had become a rare entity called a Magi Lord, and with it he gained a number of abilities that strengthened his already powerful magic.

In terms of magical strength and flexibility, he stood at the top of every member of their group.

"Now die." Alaric said as he swung his staff and fired off his fusion spell.

The torrent of wind surrounding ice and smoke and enhanced with death magic flew out from Alaric's staff and the ground in front of it was turned to dust.

The devil Yarissa tried her hardest to break free from Alaric's binding spells, but all her struggles were in vain.

She was only able to break her upper body and left arm free before the attack hit her and she was completely engulfed by it.

When the power behind Alaric's attack finally dissipated there was absolutely nothing left of Yarissa.

She had been torn and shredded apart by the wind, ice, and smoke magic. And the death magic had turned what little remained after that into dust.

"Well, that was not the test I had hoped it would be. I did not even need to use my third unique skill. Though I suppose it is best if I save it in case I need it later. For now, I should resupply my spell storage and try to find my way out of here. I know Lilia will be fine since Marcus gave her the go ahead to use her strongest power, but some of the others might need my help. Now where is the way out of here?"
