Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 117 - 116 Death Of The Undying

As Marcus mumbled the name of his unique skill, a burst of light surrounded him and covered his entire body.

Then as the vampire was mid swing aiming to slice through his right shoulder, Marcus with incredible speed brought up right hand and cast his shield of light spell.

The glowing circular shield appeared in front of his hand and blocked the deadly black sword the vampire was wielding, but only for a moment before the powerfully enchanted sword broke through the shield.

However, that moment had been enough time for Marcus to twist his body out of the way allowing the sword to pass harmlessly by him.

He then cast his tier two light spell shining lance and a new nine-foot lance of shimmering light appeared in his left hand.

Marcus jabbed the lance directly for the vampire who was still stunned to see Marcus' sudden increase in speed but feeling the threatening power of Marcus' magic quickly got ahold of himself, and used the wings created by his sanguine armor spell to change his moment of shot up and to the right trying to avoid the shinning lance.

Unfortunately for him, Marcus' increase in speed from his embodiment of light was vast and the shinning lance managed to connect against his left side and even through his magical armor the lance cause a deep wound.

After his lance had sliced through the side of the vampire Marcus watched him fly into the air while his side was slightly smoking.

Seeing the vampire had retreated into the air Marcus smirked at him in a beckoning manner mocking the vampire for retreating.

The vampire seeing this expression on Marcus' face began to boil in anger, he was using all of his power even the gifts given to him by his empress, and he was still injured.

Marcus then watched as the vampire raised his sword in the air and it began to shake violently as an aura of darkness started coming out of it.

Once the darkness had grown to over four times the original length of the sword the vampire slashed it down and blast of darkness came directly for Marcus.

However, as powerful as the slash of darkness coming for him was, it made no difference to Marcus if it did not hit, as he simply used his ghost abilities to turn ethereal and let the darkness pass through him harmlessly.

Unfortunately, the building behind him did not fair to well as the darkness impacted into it and caused a large explosion that brought the entire building down along with its occupants.

Marcus looked back at the building that had become collateral damage in his fight versus the vampire and felt a bit sad, especially since he had been doing his best to avoid buildings during the fight, but now that it had escalated, he no longer had the luxury to worry about others.

The vampire looked around the area he had just unleashed his attack looking for Marcus or what he assumed would be left of him.

'Where is she, did I completely destroy her. No, she must have used her disappearing act again. Fine if she does not want to fight me head on, I know how to weed her out.'

The vampire noticing Marcus had seemed to disappear cast his gaze to over where Lilia and Blitz where and started to move in that direction.

Marcus seeing where the vampire was heading immediately resolidified and cast his lightning javelin spell sending it right for the vampire's head.

Unfortunately, as fast as the spell was it lacked power and with one swipe of his hand the vampire swatted the lightning javelin away with his left hand.

"So now you show yourself do not… who the hell are you."

The vampire seeing a completely unfamiliar person standing right under him began franticly looking around for the young girl he had just been fighting who seemed to be replaced by a young man instead.

Marcus seeing the vampire's reaction smirked since the little trick he had pulled had its intended affect.

"You asked who I am, I am just a friend of the girl you have been fighting, she asked me for some help so here I am, now you will be fighting the two of us."

Of course, this was an absolute bluff by Marcus, he had simply switched his form over from Irene in order to cause the vampire to be wary of a sneak attack coming at any time from an invisible girl.

With his little trick working quite well as the vampire was constantly looking around to make sure he was not subject of a sneak attack Marcus began his attack.

'Embodiment of Darkness'

Activating his other unique skill after having turned off his embodiment of light in order to keep up the façade that he and Irene are two different people. Marcus then cast a heightened darkness bullet and further charged it with a massive amount of power from his unique skill, and fired the bullet towards the vampire.

The darkness bullet sped forward at an amazing speed catching the vampire by surprise and causing him bring his sword forward to defend.

"BOOM."

A large explosion of darkness energy exploded from the clash between Marcus' overcharged darkness bullet and the black sword of the vampire.

However, Marcus was already on the move having used his spectral hand as a steppingstone to jump into the air and get closer to the vampire who was still reeling from the tier one spell, he thought would be easy to block.

The vampire sensing Marcus' approach wildly slashed from his pitch-black sword that sent blades of darkness flying in Marcus' general direction.

Alas, as strong as each of the attacks were, they had not been aimed very well and Marcus easily dodged them and got within just a few feet where he cast his tier two iron magic spell, iron threads and attached the to the limbs of the vampire.

Marcus then began falling to the ground and yanked with all of his strength pulling the vampire down along with him.

Of course, the vampire was not willing to let Marcus drag him down to the ground without a fight and began slashing at the iron threads cutting through a few of them before three rings of lightning surround him, sealed his movement, and began electrocuting him.

The two of them then impacted into the ground Marcus landing on his feet while the vampire crashed into the ground flailing around trying to break the magic that bound him.

"AHHHHH"

The vampire let out a vicious scream as he activated the full power of his armor and a glowing red aura burst forth from his body and destroyed the two spells Marcus was using to bind him.

However, when the dust had cleared, in front of him was a huge mass of electricity in the form of a bird flying towards him.

With the powerful tier four spell only a few feet away from him the vampire brought his sword forward and slashed with all of his remaining power.

As his sword clashed with Marcus' spell, the darkness enchantment in the sword began draining the vampire of his remaining mana and vitality, and an overwhelming force of darkness drove Marcus' thunderbird strike back and caused a colossal explosion of darkness and lightning.

The force of the explosion between the two attacks was so great that the vampire was blown away crashing into a large building and through multiple walls before coming out the other side and skidding across the ground, only coming to a stop when he crashed into another building.

Marcus seeing that the huge explosion had incapacitated the vampire made his move and resolidified right over the vampire, placed his foot on the vampires right arm which was gripping the sword, and activated his embodiment of light.

The vampire who was nearly spent felt a searing pain in his arm where Marcus' foot was as his embodiment of light began burning away the vampire.

The vampire in a last ditched effort to fight back, stabbed his clawed left hand into Marcus' thigh, but while he did stab deeply into Marcus' thigh the light enhancing Marcus' body burned away the vampire's hand almost immediately leaving it as only a stump.

Wincing in pain as the gray mist that takes the place of his blood began leaking out Marcus said, "It was a good fight, but you lose."

He then cast his tier two shinning lance spell and jammed it deeply into the chest of the vampire causing its body to begin burning and turn to ash.

As the vampire was dying turning into nothing but a pile of ash he glared at Marcus with loathing and said, "The court of Draayer will never allow you to get away with this. They will hunt you down and kill you and everyone you know if you are lucky. Enjoy this victory while you can, your lif…"

Marcus stomped his light clad foot into the vampire's mouth causing his last threat to end short as his head turned to ash along with the rest of his body, leaving Marcus as the victor in the fight between ghost and vampire.
