Transmigrated as a Ghost

BOOM!

Unleashing a destructive force like he never had before, Marcus watched his focusing lenses break apart as the power of his two tier six spells went out of control.

Luckily, they still followed the direction he had been facing and the torrent of light and darkness consumed Ludwik.

'Guess that one is going to need some work.' Marcus thought as he saw the unstable nature of his latest combo spell.

Though to be fair it was the first time he had used either of these spells and the difference in their intensity compared to the tier four spells he normally combined was leagues apart.

Still the attack had its intended effect as it had devastated Ludwik who had been caught off guard by Marcus' and Lyra's strategy.

Yet as the attack cleared, to Marcus' surprise, Ludwick was still alive having protected himself with a powerful smoke and mana barrier.

"Guh"

Coughing up a mouthful of blood Ludwik while alive, was in horrible condition with half of his body burnt horribly by the searing light and the other half was blackened and slowly corroding away from the darkness.

It was a truly horrifying sight to see and the only thing that was keeping him alive was the toughness of his body that he had acquired from his high level.

Unfortunately, his muscles had been destroyed in multiple places and his bones were left exposed as blood gushed all around him.

Seeing this Marcus could only pity the man since even though he survived, he was currently facing a fate worse than death in his current condition.

Though Ludwik was not giving up yet, and using his smoke magic retrieved an emergency elixir he kept and was trying to drink it.

"Sorry, that is not happening." Marcus said as he used his spectral arm to rip the potion away and brought it over to himself before storing it into his item box.

A moment later Lyra appeared behind Ludwick like a flash and was about to cut his head off when Marcus said, "Wait do not kill him!"

Stopping her blades as they were about to take off Ludwik's head, Lyra looked at Marcus with confusion wondering why he had stopped her from killing their enemy.

"Lyra give me just a minute, but make sure he does not get away. I plan on us winning this fight."

Nodding her head lyra went along with whatever Marcus had planned and pierced both of her kukris into Ludwik's barely alive body and pinned him to the ground.

After that Marcus turned his attention to Marek's' fight which was not going well.

As big of a game as the rebel chief talked, he was having trouble keeping up with three great knights at the same time.

Surely this was to be expected though as he as currently fighting the rank fifth, seventh, and tenth great knight all by himself.

But now that he was done with his fight, Marcus focused on the high-speed battle that was happening quite aways away, looking for the best target.

'I guess it will have to be that one.'

Locking in on the tenth ranked great knight who was mostly playing support, Marcus held his scythe out in front of him and turned it onto its side.

He then channeled an extreme amount of mana into it and his scythe started to transform taking on the appearance of a crossbow.

'Iron sphere.'

Casting his tier three iron magic spell, Marcus conjured his iron sphere and had it compress to about the size of a ball bearing.

This time he needed speed more than a larger surface area, so he made it as small as possible while still keeping its integrity.

'Extreme magnetism.'

Following it up he cast his next spell and began charging up the electromagnetic force on his scythe.

Along with the enchantments on his scythe and his spell, Marcus' iron sphere began crackling with power as he charged up getting ready to unleash his fastest attack.

He then poured in the power from his supreme skill giving the iron sphere even more lethality and began waiting for the moment to unleash his attack.

His eyes trained on the tenth ranked great knight Marcus waited, his senses sharpened to the maximum making every second feel like an hour as he focused on making the perfect attack.

'Now. Soul Devour.'

'Eclipse Railgun.'

As the tenth ranked great knight named Edek went all in for a big attack, Marcus let loose his eclipse railgun at full power.

The small iron sphere shot out at Mach Eight, creating gale force winds behind it, and carving a trench in the ground below as it blasted forward.

And in just a second it hit the side of Edek who had been unable to dodge even as his danger sense alerted him to the threat

The iron sphere slammed into his side flattening out against his armor unable to pierce through the strong adamantine.

Still with as much force as was behind the iron sphere it did not even need to pierce the armor to deal devastating damage as Edek was blown away.

He was quickly smashed into the side of the mountain and felt his body being pushed through the earth until he came out the other side and went blasting off.

It was an unbelievable sight as a great knight, and one of the strongest people in the kingdom, was blasted away unexpectedly by a high-speed projectile.

In fact, Marcus had just blown away someone twenty-five levels higher than him who was sitting at level sixty-nine. This could only be considered an unprecedented feat.

However, even after this Marcus was unsatisfied and clicked his tongue.

'Damn he did not die.'

Hoping to receive a level up notification, nothing came to him, and Marcus was certain he had not been successful in killing Edek.

Though perhaps this was just him being greedy, since with this one attack he had changed the dynamic of the battlefield in an instant.

And even though as they watched this the other great knights wanted to rush over and crush Marcus, they were too busy with their own fights and did not have the luxury to deal with him.

'Well, I still have him.' Marcus said as he turned to look at Ludwik.

The poor guy was now in an even worse state than before as the lingering darkness magic was eating away at him.

"Lyra keep him pinned. What I am about to do next is not going to be pretty." Marcus said with a cold voice that even gave Lyra the chills.

Marcus then squatted down and yanked Ludwik's head up to be level with his own, and the nearly dead and destroyed man let out a pained howl as Marcus began to devour his soul.

Yet unlike the other times he had used this skill, Marcus felt his own soul being fought back against fiercely and parts of him were being destroyed.

This was the first tie he had tried to devour the soul of someone higher level than himself, and more than twenty levels at that.

However, Marcus' soul was impossibly strong for his level, having no equal, and Ludwik was in rough shape already having one foot in the grave.

Fighting an intense battle that felt like an eternity, Marcus' and Luwik's souls fought for dominance until the man who was just barely clinging onto life faltered, and Marcus ripped his already wavering soul from his body.
