Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 593 Plan to Save as Many as Possible

Marcus grimaced as he looked down at the slice- up body of the Doomsday Worm.

The unbelievable monster had already started putting itself back together, and it was only going to be a matter of seconds until it had fully reformed itself as its body fluidly reconnected.

‘Great and now he looks exhausted.’ Marcus thought seeing the Sword Savant breathing heavily.

He had just unleashed his strongest attack, and while it had been devastating and left the Dread Burrower in pieces, it had really accomplished nothing.

Gwyneira and Retharin were not even here right now to follow up, as they had been injured by the barrage of beams that the monster had unleashed around a minute ago.

‘What is with all of them and using their biggest moves when they will not have the best effect.’

Had the Sword Savant used this attack right from the start maybe they could have tried to salvage their plan to freeze and separate its body, but that was not going to be possible as Gwyneira was in no shape to fight right now..

“Was that really necessary?” Marcus said as he reappeared next to Asher.

Holding his head down and looking at the Doomsday Worm that had already half reformed, the frustration was clear on his face.

“I just had to see if I could take it down if I went all out. But it looks like you were right. That thing will not die easily.”

Naturally he was upset that he had not been able to kill it, and that he had wasted his best shot when it really did not matter.

Now he would have to wait five days before he could use that skill again and had effectively lowered his combat ability for when they would attempt to deliver the finishing blow.

“I get it. If I thought that my best attacks could take that thing down, I would try as well. But if I did that, I would put myself out of this fight and be unable to do the little I can. Now come on. We need to meet back up with the others and work on a new strategy.” Marcus said as he took off towards Retharin and Gwyneira.

Following behind Asher had a disheartened looks he stared down at the enormous worm that had already fixed itself.

When they arrived high in the sky where Gwyneira and Retharin had retreated, they could see that the two mythic grade beasts had nearly finished healing themselves.

Both of them had taken some bad hits, with Retharin especially having been pierced through in over a dozen places, one of which was his liver.

Luckily neither of them had been hit in the brain or the heart which could have proved fatal even for them.

“Things are not going as planned. It has suddenly started going towards Loursend, and if we do not hurry a lot of people are going to die.” Marcus said.

However, Gwyneira only could look down with a downcast expression hearing this.

They had not predicted that Loursend would be attacked first since the Dread Burrower never showed any interest in heading that way.

But now that it had, things were far more troublesome.

They had not evacuated that area and had actually sent a number of people running that way thinking it would be safe.

Unfortunately, now it seemed that it was going to be far from safe and there was little they could do about it.

“I know that you want to help as many people as you can, but there is simply no way we can move that many people in such a short amount of time. We were barely able to get out the nearly fourteen thousand people left in River Landing and the surrounding area in time. Even with me and Retharin moving at full speed, we would be unable to put a dent in the over a million people population that Loursend has.” Gwyneira said with a sad glint in her eyes.

Up to this point they had kept this calamity of a monster from killing a single person as far as they knew. But now they were running out of leeway and its death count was soon to exceed a million if it made it to Loursend.

Not to mention that there were a couple of small towns like Trostenwald along the way that it would make quick work of.

It seemed quite hopeless that everyone in the city was likely to be killed other than the very few that might be able to fly away on their mounts, and those that could be crammed onto the six icebreaker ships that were docked in port.

Yet while everyone else had seemed to give up and had resigned themselves to let these people die as there was nothing they could really do, the gears in Marcus’ mind were spinning.

If the Dread Devourer was looking for the strongest and most plentiful life signs around, then it did not make sense that it had avoided a certain area in the woods.

In terms of high-level beings, it was definitely the place with the greatest quantity in the kingdom, and that was the Great Gome Woods Dungeon.

Within that place there should have been tens of thousands of monsters and beast all at least level fifty and it would have been a variable buffet for the Doomsday Worm.

Except it had not gone anywhere near the dungeon which would have only been a few dozen miles away from its path.

‘Roxene also told me that she was going to hide in the special dungeon and said it would be safe there.’ Marcus thought pensively.

Certainly, it was just a hypothesis, but if he was right, he could save a lot of people’s lives.

“I think that there is a place that we can send the people of Loursend where they will be safe… Well safer.” Marcus said to the rest of the Group.

All of them turned their heads towards him wondering what sort of plan he had concocted, and he said, “I think that the Doomsday Worm cannot get into dungeons. If we start evacuating the people of Loursend into the Ocean Bluff Temple, they might be safe there.”
