Transmigrated as a Ghost

Staring up at Ardea who had just appeared, it was clear to Marcus and Retharin that this newcomer riding on the huge tree was also a grand witch.

Just looking at her and what she had already done it was obvious that she was very strong, but Gwyneira was the only one that could see her status and was astounded by what she saw.

‘Level ninety-three!’

Naturally this left her stunned for a moment as this new arrival was the exact same level as the Doomsday Worm that they were currently dealing with.

There was no doubt that she was one of the strongest people in the world.

Yet, it was not just this girl whose name was apparently Jaela, Ardea had appeared as well and Gwyneira recognized her presence as the strong entity that had not long ago visited Borealia’s royal capital.

‘Level eighty-eight.’_.

While not quite as impressive as Jaela, Ardea was at a high level as well, being two level higher than Gwyneira was.

“Looks like reinforcements have finally arrived. I wonder if they would let me fight them once this is all done.” Asher said as he looked up at the two grand witches who were having a little spat right now.

“Jaela, I told you a hundred times not to rush ahead without me. This is a doomsday monster we are fighting. I am sure you heard the stories about what happened the last time something of the same class went on a rampage.” Ardea said with an aggrieved expression.

Though Jaela just waved her hand and said, “Yes, but that thing is destroying such a lovely forest. Just look what it has done to the Great Gome Woods. This was one of my top fifty forests on the planet, and now it is practically ruined because of that abomination. I could not just sit back and watch it cause any more damage. It is going to take even me years to restore this place.”

The two of them then argued for a bit longer with each other, completely disregarding the situation they were in, until Jaela said, “Anyway, it does not seem all that strong to me. Deku, has it pinned down right now with its branches and it has been torn to shreds by his leaf storm.”

However, not long after she said this, the Dread Burrower began shaking and pulsing with an eerie light that started traveling up the tree that had it pieced with hundreds of branches.

As this happened the tree began shaking and Jaela looked up at it in concern.

“Wait, it is draining your life away faster than you can recover. How is that possible?” Jaela said with concern in her voice.

Waving her scythe forward she sent out a large mana slash that cut through the branches connecting her tree named Deku from the Doomsday Worm.

The enormous monster then began thrashing around a bit and prepared to launched itself at Jaela and Deku.

Yet as it did, Ardea did not stay still and conjured a huge mountain over her head which she dropped down on the Dread Burrower as it shot towards them.

“Eat on this.” She said as the mountain crashed into it.

There was a huge explosion of rock as the Dread Burrower hit the mountain, but it was not knocked down as Ardea had expected.

Instead, as its name suggested, it began burrowing through the mountain and shot out the other side.

This caught both of the grand witches by surprise, and they might have been in a bit of trouble if Retharin had not already moved to intercept.

With a storm raging around him he unleashed a massive twister that was crackling with lightning down up Doomsday Worm.

Another resounding explosion shook the area as this attack hit the gigantic monster, and with its momentum already lessened from burrowing through Ardea’s mountain, it was struck back to the ground.

Of course, the damage it had taken was quickly healing before it even hit the ground, and it would not be long until it was back up to full health.

“Ardea I am glad to see you here and with your friend as well. Now we should back off a bit and discuss a new strategy now that you are here.” Retharin said.

Nodding her head, she looked down at the Dread Burrower that had already finished fixing itself and was sending its thousands of tendrils their way.

But while Ardea nodded her head and turned to fly away, Jaela shook her head, and said, “There is no way I am retreating now. If I leave that horrendous creature alone it will continue to wreak what is left of this forest. I am going to stop it now.”

After saying this she dropped from her giant floating tree and her scythe began glowing brightly as she filled it with mana.

She then began spinning round like a top and the mana around her rapidly grew, until she looked like a massive spinning saw falling down from the sky.

In just a few seconds she sliced through all of the tendril coming towards them and cut into the Dread Burrower’s head.

She then sliced all the way down its body until it had been cut cleanly in half.

Once this was done, she turned around with a triumphant look on her face thinking that she had just won.

Of course, she had never met any creature that could survive being cleaved completely in half, but this monster was an exception.

Its two halves began putting itself back together almost the second after it had been cut in two.

And to make matters worse thousands of its tendrils were still moving and surround Jaela on all sides, with some even bursting out of the ground.

Every one of these tendrils began glowing orange and thousands of powerful beams were about to be unleashed around Jaela.

Though before she was bombarded on all sides, Marcus, Gwyneira, and Asher who had been waiting to react to the current situation, jumped in and began unleashing wide ranged attack to destroy the tendrils around Jaela.
