Transmigrated as a Ghost

After Marcus had shoved her out of the way to avoid the incoming attack, Mrazivý watched him get blown away by an attack that looked like a blur.

It had happened all incredibly fast, but Mrazivý was a seasoned fighter, and had begun a chant the second her danger sense had alerted her to the incoming threat.

"Fortress of Frost."

With Mrazivý's tier five ice magic spell complete, the air around her began to freeze and soon walls of ice formed around her into a defensive building.

All she knew was that the enemy that had just ambushed them was, strong and she was absolutely going to need her strongest defense ability to try and protect herself and counterattack.

Of course, Mrazivý was also worried about Marcus, but she knew that she needed to prioritize her own safety and that Marcus was pretty resilient and could take care of himself.

However, unexpectedly Mrazivý's defensive spell, that should have been able to take a bombardment from a dozen mana cannons and come out barely damaged was blown through in an instance as Mrazivý saw two arms extending towards her.

Yet before they reached her, she deployed her mercurial ice in front of her as a second layer of defense, and using all her strength and will power managed to stop the arms coming for her.

Then she began a counterattack having her mercurial ice wrap around her assailant's arms, as she charged up her sword and moved in for the attack.

But before she was able to slash out with her sword the arms moved back incredibly quickly, like they were made of rubber of some other elastic material.

Following the arms back to their source Mrazivý finally got a good look at the creature attack them, and she could tell that this was not going to be easy.

Hanging from the ceiling was a monster with the lower half of a snake and the torso of a human woman, though she had scaly translucent skin and six arms.

"Glacial Lance."

Completing her next chant that she had started as soon as she finished the first, Mrazivý fired off one of her strongest spells aiming to impale and crush the monster in front of her.

Still even with as much power was behind her tier five spell that created a nearly hundred-foot lance of ice, the monster in front of her simply reached out with her six hands and stopped it in its tracks before throwing it into the water.

'What the hell is this thing.' Mrazivý thought after watching it toss aside one of her strongest attacks like she had thrown a balloon at it.

She was now certain that whatever this thing was it was the strongest monster she had ever faced, even stronger than the blade armed demon Marcus had killed at the cost of being cut in half.

Realizing just how much of a disadvantage she was against her current opponent, Mrazivý began focusing completely on defense to wait for Marcus to return, so the two of them could fight together.

'Crystal Prison.'

Activating the artifact she had used when she had been stuck in the boss room in the ocean bluff temple, Mrazivý began to be encapsulated in a far stronger ice than her own spells could create.

See was not sure how long it would hold out against such a powerful monster, but she figured it would at least buy her a minute or so.

Nevertheless, what happened next was beyond her wildest dreams as the six-armed lamia coiled itself tightly like a spring before launching its entire body at Mrazivý.

It moved like a blur and smashed into her before her crystal prison could complete its activation and destroyed what had already formed to protect Mrazivý.

However, that was not all, as it then slammed into Mrazivý, crushing her against the crystal bridge she was fighting on.

Blood began gushing out of her body in multiple locations, as the immense power behind the attack had caused numerous of her blood vessels to burst.

In fact, it made the beating Wyatt had given her feel like a love tap, as she felt her body on the verge of collapse.

Yet somehow even as her body was dying her mind as still racing to find away out of this, when she watched the monster stick out its tongue and lick up some of the blood flowing out of her mouth.

"Mmmm, Delicousssss. It hassss been sssome time sssince I lassst had human flesh."

Mrazivý then watched in horror as the lamia's mouth began to widen well past the point that seemed possible and was about to swallow her whole.

But as it was about to eat her a massive blast of darkness and light came flying towards the Lamia.

…

Being hit incredibly hard, Marcus as he was flying backwards, began skipping across the water like a rock.

Luckily before he slammed into the wall of the room, he was able to return to his ghost form and rapidly lost momentum ,coming to a stop at the edge of the room.

Unfortunately, the damage he had received was quite bad and his left arm and part of his upper body had been blown off.

'Fuck.'

With his essence leaking out of the wound he had just received Marcus felt a horrible sense of pain, but gritting his teeth he began floating back towards Mrazivý as his regeneration skill got to work on putting him back together.

'Damn it.'

As he tried to make his way back to the battle, Marcus watched Mrazivý put up her best resistance. But even as she unleashed powerful attacks and put up her defenses things were looking bad.

Her best had barely held back their opponent who easily brute forced its way through everything she tried.

'Embodiment of eclipse, harmony form. Darkness drill laser.'

Activating his supreme skill and brining out his six light and darkness enhancing rings, Marcus unleashed the same attack he had used when he defeated the adventurer party that had ambushed him in front of the boss room.

His two tier four spells began to merge and creating a spiraling blast of light and darkness that razed through everything in its way.

This was one of Marcus' strongest attacks and while it was weaker this time since he did not have his soul devour skill active, it still had the power of a tier six spell.

However, even as strong as it was the lamia that was about to eat Mrazivý, met it head on, bringing forward all six of its hands coated in mana and grabbed ahold of the blast.

It then wrestled against the powerful attack, and was being pushed back away from Mrazivý, when it whipped its tail forward and caused the blast to change directions away from it.

BOOM!

A massive explosion shook the room as Marcus' attack impacted against a wall, and chunks of rubble began flying all around, some of which hit the shrine damaging it, and causing the music it was playing to become eerily distorted.

Seeing how easily the lamia had deflected one of his strongest attacks, Marcus knew that he was in for the fight of his life.
