Transmigrated as a Ghost

Watching Syver inject himself with the vile looking liquid Marcus had flashbacks to his encounter with Jared that had happened quite a while ago.

He had lost some of his friends in the fight, and to this day it was definitely the worst outcome he had for any battle he had been a part of.

This caused him to freeze for just a moment, and in that time Syver’s arm grew back. Albeit in a tumorous fashion exactly the same as what had happened to Jared.

Shaking his head Marcus came back to himself and gave Syver another appraisal.

‘Gah, his physical stats are up by nearly forty percent, and his spirit and intelligent stats have risen by around thirty percent. That drug is just as strong as a unique skill. What!? Demonic Essence overdose!’

Reading through Syver’s status again Marcus was surprised by how much his status had raised, but even more so by the new status condition he had.

He now knew what the terrifying drug was called and that it was connected to demons in some way.

Just an instance after he obtained this information, Marcus prepared himself to finish off Syver who was cackling, now obviously out of his mind. But found there was nothing more for him to do._.

“Die.”

In the single second after Syver had taken the drug and while Marcus was appraising him, Mrazivý made her move and with one swipe of her sword cut him clean in half.

Yet not a single drop of blood fell out of his body as he was soon frozen like as statue by a thick layer of ice created from Mrazivý’s magic.

“Whoa.”

Unfortunately, Marcus had no time to be impressed by his fiancée as the three assailants he had cut down got back up after taking the dangerous drug themselves.

They now had lower halves that looked more monstrous than human, and any amount of intelligence in their eyes was gone.

‘Darkness bullet.’

Holding up his left-hand Marcus chained darkness bullet spells that he had empowered to be stronger than normal and put a hole in each of the attacker’s heads.

With the demonic essence drug in play, he had no need for mercy and made sure to put them down.

‘Damn they are tough bastards aren’t they.’ He thought as he saw the try to recover from the holes in their heads.

Luckily the corroding properties of Marcus’ darkness magic outpaced the demonic regeneration, but the three men took a bit longer to die than excepted considering their brains had been blown out.

“Mraz these attackers are using something called Demonic Essence to enhance their abilities and regeneration. When dealing with them you need to make sure to cause enough damage to make sure they cannot come back. In fact, just make sure that you freeze any enemy you cut down.” Marcus said swiftly to inform her what he had found out.

However, while Marcus thought she would spring right back into action after hearing this, she froze and looked at him with a look of astonishment.

“Marcus, are you certain that they are using Demonic Essence?” Mrazivý said with a grave expression.

She had completely stopped moving now and was wholly focused on Marcus, telling him that this drug was probably worse than he had first thought.

“Yes, I got back from my appraisal that they were in a state of Demonic Essence overdose. There is no doubt about it.”

Grinding her teeth Mrazivý looked absolutely furious. She then grabbed Marcus and began running towards Frostine and her retinue of knights.

“Marcus, Demonic Essence is an illegal substance that can only be synthesized by the blood of a high-level demon. In low quantities it makes people a bit stronger and gives them a feeling of euphoria, but also makes them susceptible to control from demons. Worst case scenario, we may be dealing with a very powerful demon. So, we are getting out of here along with my sister.” Mrazivý said while pulling Marcus along.

With how chaotic the battlefield was they would not be able to fight effectively, and Mrazivý decided to take their safety into account over trying to fight back.

On the way she cut down and froze any of the cloaked attackers that came near them, putting an end to their drug fueled rampage.

But Marcus stopped in his tracts not long after Mrazivý had started pulling him away.

“What are you doing? We need to prioritize our own safety right now. Let the knights handle this, that is their job.” Mrazivý said, a tinge of fear in her eyes.

“That is fine, but I cannot leave Lilia here alone if it could be that dangerous. We need to get her first.” Marcus said as he scanned around the chaotic room.

As he looked around, he could see that most of the attackers had used demonic essence to boost their fighting power before they were overrun by the numerous knights in the venue.

Eventually Marcus spotted Lilia among those fighting.

She had already transformed the pedant around her neck into her adamantine armor, and the bracelets that adorned her wrists were now powerful gauntlets.

Currently she was battling with four of the attackers, and unfortunately her attacks and magic were ill suited to dealing with their abnormal regeneration.

Even when she cracked their skulls open with force magic or punches from her gauntlets, they came back from what should have been lethal blows.

In order to keep them down she needed to focus her powers and blow their chests clean open or take their heads off, but with so many on her she was having difficulty delivering a decisive blow.

Marcus wanted to help her from where he was, but with some many people running around, if he attempted to use a spell, he was likely to just hit some rando and kill them instead.

“Mraz I will go get Lilia. Head over to your sister and get out of here. I will be right behind you.” Marcus said as he shot towards Lilia.

But Mrazivý not going to leave him alone was only a step behind him and followed behind.

The two of them reached where Lilia was fighting in just a couple of seconds, and Marcus using his scythe clad in darkness cut three of the attackers in half both vertically and horizontally for good measure.

At the same time Mrazivý sliced the head off the other and froze the remains as a fountain of blood shot out looking like an avantgarde sculpture.

“Lilia, come on we are getting out of here.” Marcus said as he reached out for his little sister.

Yet like he was hesitant to leave her she looked towards where Alaric and his family were hiding.

“Fine we will take them as well.” Mrazivý said understanding that an argument would only slow them down.

Agreeing easily Allaric and his family took Marcus’s and Mrazivý’s protection, and they began making their way towards the nearest exit, no longer trying to meet up with Frostine.

Yet before they got far another loud crash resounded through the area as the crystal ceiling shattered into thousands of pieces and the demonic cavalry for the assailants arrived.
