Transmigrated as a Ghost

James and Fallon were astonished to see the devil Arrakas suddenly attack and kill Mavxire who should have been his ally.

It had all happened incredibly fast and with one swift movement Mavxire's head had been pierced through by a large dagger.

His body then burst into smoke as it had before and formed into another seed which bloomed into another black flower.

Coming out of it once again was Mavxire, though his look and demeanor had changed once again.

His skin was now yellow, and he glared at Arrakas with a murderous stare.

Neither James nor Fallon could understand the sudden falling out but quickly decided to wait and see how things played out.

If the two powerful devils wanted to fight amongst each other they were not going to get involved and could finish off whoever was the victor.

"Arrakas what is the meaning of this? You will not get away with killing me like that. I will take everything you have and have Rolthor demote your soul and turn you into the lowest form of devil and make you my slave for eternity." Mavxire said with palpable anger.

With an outstretched hand Mavxire prepared some type of attack against Arrakas, but the moment he had turned his attention to his fellow devil two more forms appeared from the portal that Arrakas had come from and never closed.

Mrazivý and Eirwen burst out, already poised to attack.

With the flap of his wings Eirwen cast a wind and ice magic spell around Mrazivý's readied sword, which she held in both hands above her.

Along with this enchantment magic, Mrazivý used her own powers and in a flash truck down on top of Mavxire who was unprepared for her sudden appearance and attack.

"First From, Tempest Fang."

In one powerful swing Mrazivý brought her sword down on Mavxire's head and cleaved him right in half.

He had attempted to put up what defenses he could before the attack hit, but ultimately his mana barrier along with his other powers failed to stop Mrazivý's full power attack that was further enhanced by Eirwen's support magic.

His new form already destroyed Mavxire once again turned into smoke and formed into a seed and flower in quick succession.

This time when he popped back out of the flower, he had blue skin and was slimmer than he had been before.

His features also had a sort of allure to them that had not been there before.

Nevertheless, while he was now putting out a sort of beguiling aura no one was weak enough to be truly charmed by it.

And for James there was something else that had garnered his attention far more than Mavxire's new form.

"Mrazivý!" He called out with a relived smile on his that he could not contain.

While he had been hoping that she was actually still alive the arrival of her opponent and his affirmation that she was dead had been enough to make him believe she was gone.

But seeing her here now brought him immeasurable solace since he had not lost his closest sister.

Though the same relief that James had from seeing Mrazivý well could not be further from what she felt seeing James.

He was currently missing his left arm and eye and overall looked to be in terrible shape.

Immediately she rushed over to him while Mavxire was busy warily observing the situation.

She quickly pulled out a lesser elixir she had in her possession and handed it to James, but he just pushed it away.

"That will not help right now. These injuries are from my unique skill."

"I see. I figured as much since your regeneration had not healed them, but I figured I would offer just in case." Mrazivý said as she put the potion back away.

It was in this moment that Mavxire tried to attack.

He could feel he was in dire straights now and rushed to hopefully take out James and Mrazivý while they were distracted speaking to each other.

However, before he could get far Arrakas interceded and cut his fellow devil off and pushed him back.

"It is touching how much you siblings care for each other, but right now we have other problems to worry about. I will need your assistance to defeat Mavxire." Arrakas said to Mrazivý and James.

Naturally James was quite confused by the situation, but Mrazivý told him that once they had finished off his enemy, she would explain the situation.

After that James, Mrazivý, Fallon, and the traitor Arrakas continued the battle against Mavxire four on one.

Within just three more minutes the four of them easily overpowered the second strongest devil on the final floor of the special dungeon, and the seventh time they killed him he stayed down for good.

This time when he burst into smoke after dying, his body did not turn into a seed and reappear in a flower.

"It is finally over." James said while wiping sweat from his forehead with his remaining arm.

Once they had combined forces things went pretty well, and Mavxire had been mostly unable to do anything to them despite how powerful he was.

Being so outnumbered by opponents that were within at least the same range of power made it impossible for him to really fight back.

Still, for James and Fallon there was a looming question that they needed answered, and that was why the devil that Mrazivý should have been fighting had helped them.

"I suppose I should start at the beginning." Mrazivý said when James and Fallon pushed her for answers.

…

Going back in time to when Mrazivý had followed Arrakas to their own separate battle arena, she had been prepared for a fierce fight.

Yet the moment that they were alone, Arrakas held up his hands and surrendered to Mrazivý and Eirwen.

Of course, they had both believed this to be some sort of trap and attacked anyway, but Arrakas did not fully evade and allowed their attacks to hit him and take off both his arms.

He then stifled his own regeneration to prevent his arms from regrowing and got on his knees and lowered his head to the ground to show the sincerity of his surrender.

If this had been a trap, it was a very bad one, as it left Arrakas wide open for a large-scale attack that certainly would have killed him.

And Mrazivý knew all of his abilities thanks to her dragon eyes, and she had chosen to fight against him since he was the devil that possessed an appraisal unique skill, and it would keep them balanced in knowing each other's abilities.

Eventually she agreed to at least listen to what he had to say, and Arrakas told her why he was not going to fight.

In short after seeing her and everyone else in her group's skills and stats, Arrakas knew that the caches that the group of devils he was apart of had very little chance of coming out as the true victors of a full-scale confrontation.

Even in the isolated battle scenarios, he believed that in the end even if Mrazivý's group suffered some causalities the devils would ultimately lose.

Against Mrazivý alone he figured he had a thirty percent chance of victory if he was being generous, and with Eirwen added to the mix maybe around five percent if he managed to catch them off guard somehow.

This had led him to the conclusion that his best chance at survival was to betray the other devils, and his first act of doing so was divulging false information.

He left out key skills from each of the members of Mrazivý's group when detailing them to his fellow devils and also gave out lower figures for their stats to make it seem that the other devils would not be in for difficult fights.

There was another reason for his betrayal as well of course.

He was not truly a subordinate of the Archdevil Rolthor.

Long ago he had been subservient to one of Rolthor's distant relatives, and when his former master was killed his services were inherited by Rolthor.

But his contract was different than the rest of the devils here and he had ways in which he could get around following orders from the Archdevil if he needed to. Especially ones he viewed as suicidal

This led him to brokering a deal with Mrazivý.

He offered to help her take out the other devils in exchange for her not attacking him and doing her best to make sure that her allies did not kill him.

And unlike the Archdevil who tried to trick Marcus, he allowed Mrazivý to write up the contract on her own making sure there were not any deceiving clauses or loopholes.

…

"I see, so he just did not want to die." James said after looking at the magically binding contract Mrazivý had signed with Arrakas.

It was pretty simple, but it effectively made it so that if Arrakas tried to attack them that he would end up dead.

"Oh no, I get more out of this than simply getting to live. Once all of you are gone, I will be able to take over the contract Rolthor has with the administrator that originally brought us here and serve out the remainder of the three thousand years. I have no qualms about waiting a long time for a reward of greater power." Arrakas said with a greedy look in his eyes.

Now better understand the situation, James realized that Arrakas was simply using them to supplant his boss.

In this way he would gain far more power and had already prepared himself for the long wait managing this floor of the special dungeon.

"Okay, now let us hurry. You said that Mavxire and the Archdevil were the most dangerous and would not be easily beaten without your help. We have taken out the first one, so take us to where Marcus is fighting." Mrazivý said to Arrakas once she had finished explaining everything to James and Fallon.
