Transmigrated as a Ghost

777 Chapter 777

Many emotions began stirring inside Marcus as he heard the prompt from the system to learn the Supreme Skill sealed within the black orb he was holding.

For the most part he was excited and gleeful, having received what was almost certainly a very powerful ability.

'I can surmise what it might do from its name, but I will not know until I learn it or have Mrazivý use her ability to appraise it.' Marcus thought while rolling the orb around in his hands.

Everyone was waiting with baited breathes for him to tell them what they had all received, as none of them had grabbed theirs yet. Just in case there was some danger it was best to let Marcus go first.

Seeing that all his companions were expectantly looking at him, Marcus decided to go ahead and learn the skill and find out what it did from his status.

Quickly the black orb lost all of its luster and turned clear before beginning to turn into particles of sand and disappearing.

"They are safe. These are skill orbs as we all thought, and each holds within it a Supreme Skill."

Having Marcus' approval and hearing what exactly their final rewards for beating the special dungeon, everyone hastily reached in to take the black orb and learn the skill sealed inside.

Among them only Marcus, Roxene, and Quillon had Supreme Skills, and for most of them this would be their first time gaining access to the strongest type of skill on Mirrion.

In only a few minutes all the black orbs had turned to dust and the members of Marcus' party began analyzing what their new Supreme Skills could do.

Some of them, however, were not easily discernable, and other than Marcus and Lyra who could look at their statuses, they needed Mrazivý's help to figure out what their new powers did.

This created a line of beasts and people waiting for Mrazivý's attention before she could even figure out what her own new skill did.

"James, would you come here for a moment. I want to try out my new Supreme Skill on you" Marcus called out.

Surprise came over James' face for a moment, and he became a bit guarded.

He had seen what Marcus' and Quillon's Supreme Skills were capable of and he really did not want to be a test subject for one. Especially in his current state with a missing arm and eye.

Still, after some prompting and Marcus promising that his new skill was not an offensive one but a support type, James came over. Albeit a bit reluctantly and still dubious of what Marcus was going to do.

"Now just stay still and do not try to move out of the way. This ability only works within twenty meters of me." Marcus cautioned before activating his new Supreme Skill.

"Ultimate Refresh."

The moment Marcus used the new skill a glowing silver orb appeared in his hand and flew directly for James.

It moved incredibly fast, and despite Marcus' warning, from his current distance James would not have been able to dodge it anyway.

When it hit him, at first, he thought that something bad might happen, since while he trusted Marcus, the prospect of being hit by a new Supreme Skill was still daunting.

Yet once its effects began, he could only stare down at himself in awe.

His missing arm and eye swiftly grew back as if they had never been gone.

Feeling and seeing this happened James let out a yelp of surprise and excitement that garnered everyone else's attention.

Of course, having his arm and eye returned to him was something that was both amazing and unexpected.

He did not lose them to any injury but as a price to fuel one of his unique skills, and they should not have been restorable for another twenty days.

Except despite Marcus' healing magic nor Spirit healing specter power, and even true elixirs being unable to heal the damage incurred from Sacrificial Strike, Marcus' new Supreme skill had.

"How is this possible!? It should take twenty days before the restriction is lifted!" James shouted.

"That is simply the power of my Supreme Skill, Ultimate Refresh. With it I can restore anyone's status back to its peak five times a day. Whether they be injured, out of mana, or under some sort of status effect or debuff." Marcus said with a proud expression.

He was very satisfied to see that it worked to restore James' missing body parts, which nothing they had attempted in the past could.

Nevertheless, he was fairly certain that his new Supreme Skill would work even through the restriction of James' unique skill.

He had seen a similar interaction once before between Quillon's Supreme Skill and Lyra's Reflector Shield.

Despite Lyra's ability being able to send back any attack that came in contact with it, Quillon's Supreme Skill shattered it.

This just went to show that if a Supreme Skill had a conflicting power with a unique skill, it would be the victor.

'Now will it work on this?' Marcus thought as he used the skill on himself.

Unfortunately, when he checked the results, he could not help but frown.

He had been hoping that the skill would reset the timer on his Soul Burst and Deny Destruction unique skills, but it had not.

'I see. I suppose it might be too powerful if it did. Likely it would get rid of the lowered status I receive after using Soul Burst, but it does not reset the skill so I can use it again. In James' case it got past his time limit since it was not on whether he could use the skill again but that he could heal the price for using it. At the very least it creates quite the combo between the two of us.' Marcus thought, analyzing his new power.

As he continued thinking about this new skill, Marcus realized that it was really what he needed.

He was already quite powerful, and when he went all out, he was able to take on opponents several levels higher than him.

But what he currently lacked was staying power.

All of his strongest skills put an extreme amount of pressure on him and wore him out quickly. Especially when he used soul burst.

In his recent battle against the Archdevil he lost not because he was outclassed, but simply because he ran out of time to use his full power.

If at the time had this new Supreme Skill, he would have been able to immediately recovery and easily finish off the Archdevil who was already beatdown to the point of barely being alive.

'With this new power I can really let loose without worrying about conserving my energy. Also, for my allies, I can recharge them as well.'

After finishing up his initial assessment of his new skill Marcus was very satisfied with it.

Certainly, it did not give him an explosive burst of power, but he already had plenty of skills that did that.

Now he had the strongest recover ability that would be useful in many different situations.

"Looks like you managed to finish telling everyone who needed your help what their Supreme Skills are. So, what did you get?" Marcus asked Mrazivý once she had finished telling Alaric what his Supreme Skill did.

"Oh, it is nothing all that special." Mrazivý said with a dazzling smile that obviously told a different story than her words.

It took Marcus a bit more prodding to finally get her to actually tell him about it, and as she did, she was beaming.

"My Supreme Skill is called Strongest Dragon. And I have to say it is as good, if not better than your Embodiment of Eclipse."

Going into details about her skill Marcus could easily see why she was comparing it to one of his own Supreme Skills.

? Strongest Dragon was primally a stat raising skill, though it was a bit different than his own.

To start with it gave her a thirty percent increase to all of her stats at just a baseline and could be further boosted depending on how much mana she funneled into the skill.

There was also no limit to the number of times she could use the skill and the only constraint was the amount of mana she had.

"That certainly is strong. And it will pair quite well with my new Supreme Skill." Marcus said while thinking up more strategies they could incorporate.

Quite interested, Mrazivý joined Marcus with brainstorming ways that they could use their new Supreme Skills together as she had heard the basics of what it could do when he explained it to James.

Time seemed to go by impeccably quickly as all of them discussed their new Supreme Skills that were easily the strongest for most of them.

"Now all we need to do is actually testing of what our new skills are capable of. And to that end, we are wasting time here. I think it is time for us to leave." Quillon said, itching to get out of the special dungeon and use his new skill that would be too dangerous to try in an enclosed space.

Pretty much everyone agreed with this sentiment, as unlike Marcus, they had gotten skills that would allow them to unleash greater power that could not be used safely in the presence of others.

Just like that their time in the special dungeon had come to an end, and for the last time they all gathered on a teleportation circle and were whisked away.
