Transmigrated as a Ghost

737 Chapter 737

Now having beaten the trials on the eleventh floor of the special dungeon, Marcus, Mrazivý, and Roxene looked towards the three treasure chests that had appeared.

This was a familiar sight to them all, as on the completion of each floor of this dungeon a reward would be given.

The items within the chests were varied and could fall under many different categories, but they had always been quite valuable.

However, this was the first time that three had appeared at once, and it was clear why as the three of them looked at the chests closer.

Each one had one of their names on it, signaling who it was for.

“So do we want to go all together, or all at the same time?” Mrazivý asked as they each stood in front of their respective chests.

But before anything else, Marcus moved over to Roxene’s chest, and said, “Actually I want to try something first. Would you both mind waiting a second?”

Although they were unsure what he wanted to do, both Mrazivý and Roxene nodded their heads and waited for Marcus to do as he wanted.

Then he bent over and tried to open Roxene’s treasure chest instead.

Yet even when he put his all into it the chest remained closed and would not budge.

“I figured as much. Seems like we can only open the chests that we have each been assigned.” Marcus said as he moved back over to his own and kicked the lid open without any trouble.

Following suit, Mrazivý and Roxene opened their own and at the same time all of them peered inside to find what awaited them.

From Roxene’s chest she pulled out a single golden skill orb which was actually the first time any of them had gotten such a thing from this dungeon.

Mrazivý instead had a beautiful blue gem that they were all able to recognize as an elemental crystal with the ice element.

With only a glance Mrazivý was able to tell it was of a very high quality that was on par with the best she had seen within the royal vault and only brought out to make exquisite items.

For Marcus what he had was also different, and instead of anything concrete like Roxene’s or Mrazivý’s rewards, he instead pulled out a dozen sheets of paper that had been bound together.

“What do you have there Mrazivý?” said as she looked over Marcus’ shoulder.

She had already put her reward away into her item box since it was definitely the most mundane of anything the three of them got and would only be useful later when she could have Marcus make something for her.

“Oh this. Looks like it is a few incomplete fire magic spells from tier one to six. From a glance I can already tell they all push the confines of their tiers and will be quite powerful. But I will need some time to work on it before it is complete. You know this place only likes giving partial knowledge and making you figure out the rest.” Marcus said with a shrug.

Sighing, Mrazivý knew what he meant. She similarly had a couple half-finished spells sitting in her item box from their last time here. Unfortunately, she was not all that well versed in crafting her own magic and they were just sitting around until she got around to them.

After they had finished discussing Marcus’ reward, they turned towards Roxene who had definitely gotten the best reward out of the three of them.

Though this was actually what Roxene was waiting for, and she dropped it in front of Mrazivý who was the only one that could get a full read on what the unique skill within would do before being used thanks to her dragon eyes.

“It is called invulnerable fur. For thirty minutes each day you can use it to make it so that any hair on your body cannot be cut or penetrated. Still, it will not protect you against internal damage or anywhere not covered by your fur.”

Once Mrazivý had finished reading the description, Marcus and Roxene nearly immediately had the same thing come to mind. The golden lions.

They had a similar race ability that made their fur nearly impenetrable, but if hit with enough force they could still be pierced. So, while this was a time limited skill, it was still stronger when in use.

Plus, Roxene already had pretty tough fur to begin with, so it would be a useful trump card to use when fighting strong opponents.

And while it was a fairly mundane unique that lacked much impact, it was not worthless by any means and could be used everyday with only a fairly long time limit as its only downside.

“Seems like you made out like a bandit.” Marcus said as he eyed the golden skill orb.

‘Yes, I just happen to be luckier. Anyway, I felt that I could use some more unique skills and this defensive one will be an excellent addition to all the offensive ones I already have.’ Roxene said using her telepathy. All while having a proud look on her face, as usual.

Quickly she activated the unique skill, and, in a flash, the golden orb had turned completely clear, before it started to disintegrate into dust.

Roxene then held up her head even prouder than before and activated her new unique skill to test it out.

In what looked like the absolute height of idiocy she held up her left paw and bit down with all her force.

Except even as her sharp teeth that could rip through most things came in contact with her own fur, she failed to pierce herself.

Normally this would not have happened, and her teeth would have been able to inflict quite the wound on her defenseless paw. But her new unique skill was showing out in full force and preventing her from being pierced.

‘Hm, it works pretty well. But I am certain that if I bit for long enough, I might be able to still break my bones.’ Roxene said, once she had finished testing out her unique skill.

As the description Mrazivý had found said, it only protected her from being pierced or slashed, enough force could still do damage to her bones and internals.

“How about we see just how powerful this unique skill is?” Marcus said as he brandished his scythe.

‘Sure, that sounds good.’ Roxene responded fearlessly.

She wanted to know as well how far this skill would go. If it could protect her from an attack from a top tier amethros weapon, then it would work on just about everything.

With Roxene’s agreement, Marcus held his scythe out and began funneling mana into at an alarming rate.

He was still not up to one hundred percent after their final battle on this floor. But he could still deliver a powerful blow or two without any problem.

‘Perforation strike.’

When he was ready, he unleashed his swing and used his armor piercing unique skill.

The tip of his scythe hit Roxene and she braced her body for the blow.

And as expected, the scythe failed to even damage a single hair on her body.
