Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 309 - 309 The Owner Of The Shrine

"What the hell did you do to my home."

After the immense pressure that was waying down on him, crushing him against the ground Marcus heard the loud and frantic scream from someone that sounded like a young woman.

Following that were a feel distressed shrieks, and other such expression by someone that was incredibly disgruntled.

"Which one of you kids destroyed my shrine. Do you know how hard it was to make this thing and have it actually work as an instrument with minimal enchantments. Now fess up whoever, did it and apologize."

Marcus then felt the pressure on his body release, and he tentatively stood up to see a young-looking girl of maybe around sixteen with light green hair and eyes standing there.

However, while she may have looked like a young girl Marcus was certain that she was unfathomably strong by the subtle aura she gave off. 

Over time he had gotten good at understanding generally how strong someone was even without appraising them. But the only other time he had felt something like this was in the presence of the blue demon. An immeasurable power that seemed as deep as the ocean.

"Come now which one of you troublemakers damaged my shrine. Or maybe it was all of you. Either way if you damaged my shrine come clean an apologize and I shall be merciful."

At this point the young woman who was still a bit blinded by anger really began to take a look at all of them who were still standing frozen in fear, when her gaze landed on Marcus, and she made a surprised face.

"Well in all my years I have never seen or heard of anything like you existing. In fact, you should not exist, but here you are. A bit of a runt though." The girl said as she gave her entire attention towards Marcus.

For his part he had no idea what she was talking about, and he had never once in his life been called a runt.

Of course, he was not going to voice his grievances agist a being that was leagues above him and simply bowed his head and said, "Sorry about the damage to your shrine. We had no intention of ruining it, but that monster over there attacked us while we were enjoying the scenery. Please forgive us, we never had any intention of defiling this tranquil place."

Then like a flash the lamia who had been trying to gage how things would go began making a break for it. All of its instincts told it to get away from whatever that thing that had just shown up was, and while its attention was on Marcus planned to escape.

Yet before it had even made it a dozen feet the light green haired girl snaped her fingers and the lamia abruptly stopped and was suspended in mid-air.

"Now that was rude. Do you think that you can wreak someone's property and just run away without at least apologizing? Now speak up this is your last chance to accept your part of the blame before I really get angry."

With fear overwhelming it the lamia who was an intelligent monster and had survived for hundreds of years, said, "I did not do anything. It was thosssse two, they dessstroyed your shrine."

The lamia felt that if it admitted to damaging the shrine, this entity would kill her no matter whether she apologized or not. So, her only hope was to shift all of the blame to Marcus and Mrazivý and pray to get out alive.

"Oh, I see, so you had nothing to do with it and it was simply them over there that destroyed my shrine. Well let me see what really happened."

The young girl snapped her fingers again and her eyes shimmered for just a second, before she looked at the lamia with a frown.

"I am afraid that you are lying. The memories of the sounds you made are still here, and I distinctly see that it was one of your attacks that blew the roof off of my shrine. Now I gave you a chance to apologize but you instead lied to me. I normally do not like to bully the weak but if you do not even have the decency to say you are sorry for defacing my domain, you can die."

Once again, the young girl snapped her finger, and the lamia, began to shake violently before exploding into a spray of blood and viscera.

Seeing this both Marcus and Mrazivý looked out in horror at the carnage that had just happen to an opponent that had nearly killed them, wondering if they would be next.

Unfortunately, they both knew that running away was not an option, as the lamia was faster than either of them, and had been done in without offering any resistance.

"Now what to do with you two. Well since you apologized, I will let you off the hook if you help me repair the place. And anyway, I need to talk with you some more, great spirit of light and darkness."

Hearing this Marcus was astonished for a moment, wondering how his false status had been seen through.

However, he quickly recovered, if he had a unique skill to conceal and alter his status, certainly there must be a similar ability to see through it as well.

Then seeing the expression of surprise on Marcus' face, with a look of realization the young girl made a fist with one hand and slapped it into her other and said, "That is right you are a runt so you must not have noticed who I am. I suppose it should introduce myself properly then. I am the Great Spirit of Sound, Recha. It is nice to make your acquaintance Great Spirit of Light and Darkness, Marcus."

Blinking his eyes furiously Marcus looked at the girl in front of him and thought, 'Great Spirit of Sound?!'

With this new information, both Marcus and Mrazivý could only stand there stunned. 

This was their first time meeting any other great spirit and while Marcus may technically be counted in their ranks, but as Recha said, he is a runt.

Shaking his head and regaining his focus, Marcus had a number of questions running through his mind, but even though Recha seemed to be acting friendly, he knew that if her mood shifted, she could destroy him and Mrazivý with but a snap.

"I see I would like to apologize again for the damage we caused to your shrine. I did not know that it was your place of worship, and of course we are more than happy to help you repair it."

Yet as Marcus said this Recha started laughing profusely before saying, "God you are stiff. You look like you just saw a ghost.

After saying that Recha began laughing some more, obviously pleased with her joke. And once she was done said, "Please be at ease, we are both great spirits and while you may be underdeveloped compared to me, I will still show you the respect you are owed. You and your companion have already apologized, so I can let bygones be bygones. Anyways, I have a lot of questions for you, and if I killed you, I would not have them answered."

Recha then looked out past Marcus well into the distance before saying, "And you, the one hiding in the shadows. Do not think I did not notice you.. Come on out, I have a few things to discuss with you as well."
