Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 52 - 51 Viscount Poulsen’s Vengeance

Marcus looked dumbfounded at the old man in front of him before he realized what was going on.

'This bastard tracked me down, how did he even figure out that I helped in his son's arrest. Fuck I am surrounded and trapped, and Wild Wind lead me into it.'

Marcus then glared at Wild Wind for betraying him and he noticed how they would not look him in the eye and had looks of resignation on their faces. Seeing the furious expression on Marcus' face Viscount Poulsen sneered at him before saying, "You only have yourself to blame for this you little tramp, they only decided to put their friend's well being above yours. Now since you got my son executed and have destroyed the reputation of my family do not think I am going to let you off easily. I may not be able to do anything to that bastard Wade, but I can leave your mangled corpse at his doorstep, and I know you have a regeneration skill so even if I disembowel you, you will not die easily."

Poulsen then looked at his guards and was about to signal them to attack. However, even as his fury had risen to its max Marcus had kept a cool head and appraised all of the guards and the viscount and knew that Poulsen was level eighteen, two of his guards were level nineteen and another was twenty, but he could not see the levels of the other three. With this information Marcus timed his attack for when the viscount turned his head and he activated his mana body, cast lightning strider without care to feign chanting, and then used speed burst.

Even knowing that he could not control himself when he used all three of these abilities at once Marcus did not care as long as he killed Viscount Poulsen. Having preemptively swung his scythe when his speed burst activated Marcus fired forward like a cannon ball, aiming to ram into Poulsen scythe first. Moving at an incredible speed in an instance no one was able to react to Marcus' suicide charge other than one man.

Poulsen's strongest guard a man who specialized in speed had never let his guard down and when Marcus suddenly blasted forward, he had moved to intercept with his rapier. Even being many levels higher than Marcus the man had only just been able to react to Marcus' sudden burst of speed and using all of his skill managed to divert Marcus away from his master.

Feeling a sudden force slamming into his side Marcus' trajectory changed and instead of smashing into his target he impacted one of the lower-level guards skewering him with his scythe before his momentum carried him into the dungeon wall.

Leaving an imprint of his body in the wall Marcus felt a massive wave of pain and could feel cracks starting to form in his body.

'FUCK, I missed. I doubt I will get another chance like that now. My body is already starting to crumble from the impact against the wall and the sword slash that guard hit me with, but I am not going out easy, I am going to kill as many of them as I can before I go down.'

Standing up with some difficulty Marcus noticed that his body was leaking gray mist out of numerous wounds on his body. Of course, he was not the only one to notice this and the lead guard then said, "Sir stand back, this woman is not a human but some type of monster in human guise, her level is also well above what was reported so the rest of you be carful and take this seriously."

The other guards gulp down some saliva as this supposedly easy mission to kill a girl around level ten had already left one of their numbers lying on the ground in a pool of blood. Viscount Poulsen heading the words of his senior guard moved farther away from Marcus as the others took out their weapons and got into a formation to surround him.

Marcus knowing, he was in a dire situation threw caution to the wind and activated every spell and skill he had. The guards then watched in horror as Marcus' entire body became covered in iron, his legs became coated in electricity, his scythe burst into flames, and an iron sphere started floating around him.

Jumping towards the lead guard knowing he could only use his full power for around a minute, Marcus swung his scythe using his powerful slash skill arcing the blade so that if he dodged, it would slash through the other man behind him. However, his second in command jumped forward wielding a massive double-sided ax and counted Marcus' powerful slash with his own. As the two weapons clashed the level twenty guard tried to take the opening and impale Marcus with his spear. Except when his spear was inches away from Marcus a translucent purple arm appeared and yanked his weapon away before an iron sphere slammed into his face breaking his skull and neck killing him.

Marcus, with no time to rejoice taking out one of his enemies, saw the strongest guard with the rapier slip under the muscle-bound ax wielder and was moving in for the kill. Bring the handle of his scythe in front of him to guard against the slash coming towards him, Marcus was only able to divert the blow away slightly as it left a hideous gash on his torso.

In a desperate attempt to kill the strongest guard Marcus took his right hand off of his scythe and summoned Ander's sword and stabbed forward. Unfortunately, Marcus watched as his arm detached from his body as one of the other guards had brought his massive claymore down. Gritting his teeth Marcus contoled his iron sphere trying to smash in the head of the guard that had just taken off his arm only for the ax wielding guard to intercept it and cut it in half.

His connection from his iron sphere severed and down an arm Marcus could feel the end coming and wanting to kill at least one more of the guards sent his spectral arm towards the rapier wielder to distract him, before activating his speed burst and aiming his body towards the ax using guard. Smashing into him at a speed that he could not respond to Marcus and the guard were flung into the wall of the dungeon.

When the dust of their impact had settled everyone first saw the ax imbedded deep into Marcus's left shoulder before their eye's move to the stomach of the ax wielder seeing Marcus's scythe had eviscerated him.

Completely out of mana Marcus' enchantments began to fade and his body started to crumble away having reached its breaking point.

Looking back at the remaining guards and Viscount Poulsen with a crazed look Marcus said, "I may have lost this time, but it is not the end. I will see all of you again and next time I will make sure you wish for death before I am done."

Not willing to listen to Marcus say another word or give him a chance to kill another of his men the leading guard lunged forward and stabbed his rapier through Marcus' throat causing his body to burst into a cloud of gray mist and dispersed ending the fight.
