Transmigrated as a Ghost

With all the battlements taken care of Marcus and his group were able to proceeded with their battle against the army of monsters that outnumbered them by thousands of times.

It would seem to be an insurmountable challenge to get through but even the highest-level monsters were lower than most of them and their quality was only at a base level.

There was a large difference between a level sixty that had never had its stats raised and the members of Marcus’ group who all had absolutely peak stats and numerous rare and powerful skills at their disposal.

Whenever one of them made a move they would tear through dozens of the monsters, and with well-coordinated teamwork they managed to keep the swarm at bay while making steady progress.

‘Iron spike field.’

Casting a tier seven iron magic spell, Marcus conjured thousands of iron spears that shot up out of the ground over a wide area and pierced into the monsters in front of them.

Following it up, Mrazivý opened her mouth and unleashed her breath attack.

All the monsters that had survived Marcus’ spell were quickly frozen and the few that survived were stuck to the now frosty iron and stuck there as they slowly succumbed to the cold.

It was combinations like these that their group had been working on while they fought through the horde of monsters.

At first their coordination was mostly just with timing their attacks to not interfere with each other, but now they were figuring out combos they could pull off together.

Time went on in pretty much a blur for all of them. The strange domain they found themselves in had no sort of sun or moon. Just a constant red light coming down from the sky, so there was no way to tell the passage of time.

They had figured that it had at least been two or maybe three days at this point, but the tide of monsters never seemed to end.

Even when they killed thousands of them more kept coming and they were unable to really take a break.

Their strongest defensive magic spells and abilities could at best give them twenty minutes or so of peace without any further action, but that was the most rest they could get. And at the cost of an immense amount of mana.

‘Damn, do they never end. I can keep this up pretty much indefinitely but everyone else is going to tire. I can already see that the mental and physical fatigue is catching up to Alaric.’

It had become quite clear that everyone was starting to slip a bit. Their attacks were less polished and occasionally a stray attack or two would get by their initial defenses and would require more direct attention.

Unfortunately, all they could do was continue to push on, as the only other alternative was to be destroyed.

‘You have leveled up to level seventy.’

‘Hidden evolution requirements unlocked.’

After killing a large group of monsters with a spell, Marcus finally received a level up. Being the last of their group to do so.

However, this was not just any level up. He had now reached level seventy, which would finally allow him to evolve to a stage even beyond where he already was.

Yet despite his wish to open his status and pour over it, he could not divert his attention to something that would not help them out right now.

He had only achieved two of the requirements he needed to meet and knew that it was likely not to be an easy feat to reach his evolution.

‘Once we get out of this hellhole, I can find out what I need to get or do. For now though, I still need to keep up the magic that is protecting us.’

With a long sigh Marcus cast his radiance scales spell for the umpteenth time and continued firing off attacks just as fast as his mana recovered.

Eventually after five days of practically nonstop fighting, Marcus and his team arrived at the mouth of a large cave that had been hidden from view.

Monsters were continuously pouring out of it, and it was clear that this was where the root of all their problems had been coming from.

“Light em up.” Marcus commanded to everyone.

With gleeful expression to have finally found something new, they all happily unleashed their widest range attacks into the cave and blew all the monsters trying to exit away.

Then with the path cleared they rushed through. No longer conserving their energy like they had been.

All of them hoped that this was near the end, and that with one final push they would be able to escape from this hellscape that was filled with monsters trying to kill them.

As they went deeper into eh cave more monsters began coming in their direction, but they plowed through them with extreme prejudice.

‘What the hell is this place?!’

Coming out of the cave into a massive room, Marcus stared stunned at what stood before them.

For as far as the eye could see were vats of a dark green bubbling liquid that monsters were crawling out of.

Practically every second, hundreds of monsters were appearing out of this liquid, and it only took them all a moment to realize that this was where all their enemies had been coming from.

‘Ultimate Blaze.’

With the root cause of their monster problem before them, Marcus did not hesitate to use his most destructive tier seven spell.

It was one of the magics that he had obtained from the special dungeon and boasted an immense amount of fire power.

Of course, it equally ate through Marcus’ mana at an astronomical rate, but he felt a sense of elation at destroying the cause of their five days of grief and stress.

That one spell was enough to nearly eliminated all the vats, and the rest were soon cleaned up by the others.

“We finally managed to stop the endless army of monsters. Now I just want to sleep for three days straight.” Lyra said while letting her shoulders slump over.

None of them had gotten any proper rest since coming to this floor, and it had really worn them all down.

“Sorry Lyra, but it does not look like any of us are going to be resting quite yet.” Quillon said as he pointed towards the cave they had just exited.

The army of monsters they had pushed through without fully eliminating had caught back up with them and were rushing through the cave to attack them once again.

“If no one has any objections I will push them back and then all of you can plug up the hole.” James said as he readied to throw his lance.

Marcus nodded his head towards him to indicate that he was fine with James’ suggestion.

A smile on his face James let loose his lance which flew fast and with a large amount of mana poured into it.

Moving far faster than the speed of sound it plowed through the incoming wave of monsters and left many dead and the rest scattered.

He then called his lance back to him and everyone who could use any sort of ability, whether it be spells or creating pillars of diamond, blocked off the cave.

“That should hold them back for at least a half hour. It is time to see if there is a way out beyond where those vats used to be.” Marcus said.
