Transmigrated as a Ghost

"Volution Barrage!"

Keeping his eyes' peeled Marcus was stunned to see James suddenly pull out an amethros lance and unleash a powerful attack skill right of the bat.

Luckily, he had seen this particular skill before, since Jarek had used it during their fight with the elder magma elemental boss.

Still even though he had seen the move before, James' was far stronger, and the spinning thrust from his lance sent out powerful blasts of mana that came flying right towards him and Mrazivý.

Going into a nosedive, and flying in a corkscrew fashion, Marcus avoided most of the thrusts, and deployed his mana barrier along with his shield of light spell to block the ones he could not dodge.

At the same time, Mrazivý on Eirwen's back flew upwards, and separating her mercurial frost into four different rotating shields managed to evade and block all of James' attacks.

Still, this was just his opening move to separate Marcus and Mrazivý, and he began flying up towards his sister and her beast companion, while Fallon fired off ten-foot-long ice missiles at Marcus to prevent him from catching back up.

"Glacial Lance."

Finishing up the chant for her tier five ice magic spell, Mrazivý sent the massive hundred-foot-long icicle flying down towards her brother.

Yet as the spell closed in on him, James thrust out with his lance that was teeming with mana and met Mrazivý's spell head on.

Mrazivý's glacial lance then shattered into thousands of pieces, holding no candle to the power that James had.

With her spell easily being blocked, Mrazivý had Eirwen try to fly away while casting quick spells behind her to slow James down.

However, even with her best attempts, Fallon was far faster than Eirwen and it would only be a matter of seconds until Mrazivý had to fight her brother and his beast companion head on.

'Darkness drill, laser.'

Except before James and Fallon could catch up to Mrazivý, Marcus unleased one of his strongest attacks firing his two tier four spells through his focusing lenses, while using his embodiment of eclipse to further boost his power.

This created an attack of incredibly power, as a spiraling blast of darkness and light went flying right for James and Fallon.

In fact, the attack was more powerful than Marcus had anticipated, owing to his new ruler abilities that made it so all of his attacks using light or darkens were brought to beyond normal limits.

"Fallon." James yelled as he saw the devastating attack coming.

Stopping in her tracks, Fallon gave up their pursuit of Mrazivý, and aiming her head down, opened her mouth, spewing out a powerful jet of flames to meet Marcus' attack.

The flame breath from Fallon and the combined spells from Marcus met in the air, each pushing against each other for dominance.

"Your wide open." Mrazivý shouted positioning herself above her brother and unleashing a series of attacks along with Eirwen.

Slashing her sword rapidly Mrazivý sent a barrage of mana slashes down upon her brother, while Eirwen flapped his wings, sending down blades of wind that were filled with shards of ice.

With attacks coming from above and below, and Fallon unable to move as it dealt with Marcus' attack, James had no choice but to defend against Mrazivý and her beast companion's attacks.

Taking out an adamantine shield, James poured mana into it and the shield began to expand until it had grown big enough to cover all of Fallon.

James held strong as Mrazivý and Eirwen's attacks impacted against his shield, while the battle between Marcus' and Fallon's attacks was reaching its climax.

BOOM!

With neither attack having enough strength to overpower the other, eventually Fallon's flame breath and Marcus' spells swelled where they met, becoming unstable and causing a massive explosion in the sky.

The air trembled, and the shockwaves created by the explosion, sent Fallon and Eirwen further up into the air, flapping their wings frantically to try and regain control.

Marcus on the other hand had simply gone ethereal and was floating up at high speeds using his spiritual energy to accelerate himself as fast as possible.

'Fire storm.'

Once he had ascended past the explosion caused by his and Fallon's attack, Marcus unleashed one of his tier five fire magic spells while James and Fallon where still off balance.

The torrent of flames then completely engulfed James and his beast companion, seemingly spelling the end for the commander of the sky knights.

However, Marcus knew that would not be enough to win, cast his tier six iron magic spell to follow up, and swung the cataclysmic iron sword into the fire storm after James.

"Piece through all Storm Breaker."

Throwing his amethros lance, James cut through Marcus' fire storm revealing that Fallon had put up some kind of frost barrier that had protected them.

Yet his lance did not stop there as it impacted against Marcus' cataclysmic iron sword, before splitting the titanic hunk of iron down the middle and continuing to fly towards Marcus.

Still even as powerful as the attack was that James had just unleashed, it flew harmlessly through Marcus who was still ethereal.

'Now is my chance.'

Mrazivý and Eirwen having stabilized themselves simultaneously cast the same spell aiming to take advantage of James who as currently without his weapon.

"Rime Flower."

Two huge flowers of ice then formed on either side of James and Fallon, before closing together and crushing whatever was within.

CRACK!

Breaking apart, Mrazivý and Eirwen's dual spell as quickly as they had formed, broke apart, as James' shield expanded further revealing them to be unharmed.

James then went looking around for Marcus, but he was still ethereal currently moving into a better position, and even as strong as James was, he had no way to deal with Marcus if he did not take a physical form.

Staying vigilant, James was being wary of Marcus' next attack, and after a moment suddenly banked left with Fallon as a fire ball came flying towards him and exploded.

'Found you.' James though as he followed the trajectory of Marcus' spell.

Certainly, he could not go after Marcus right now, but he had another suitable target in Mrazivý.

"Dragoon Buster."

His lance suddenly appearing back in his hands, James and Fallon suddenly erupted with a powerful aura as they began rocketing towards Mrazivý.

Flying at and incredible speed James closed in on Mrazivý so fast she barely had time to react, casting a tier three ice shell spell and brining all of her mercurial frost in front of her.

Alas, James and Fallon's combined attack skill, easily broke through all of Mrazivý's defenses, and as she tried to attack with her sword, James' lance, pushed past her blowing her arm away.

Then taking his lance, James smacked the flat side of it against Eirwen's head, causing the polar owl's brain to rattle, stunning him.

With her beast companion losing his ability to fly, Mrazivý began plummeting towards the ground, but she was not giving up yet.

"Frigid Blast."

Casting another tier five ice magic spell, Mrazivý swung her sword channeling her spell through it, and sending it out infused with a mana slash.

It was a powerful attack combining both her martial prowess and magic, and its timing was in perfect sync with Marcus.

The two of them had kept up telepathic communications throughout the battle allowing them to play off of each other and make openings.

Yet as Mrazivý's attack came from the front and Marcus' from behind, James threw his adamantine shield behind him, and it expanded blocking Marcus' combo thunderbird and flame tiger strike spells.

At the same time, he spun his lance around in a circular fashion, blowing away Mrazivý's attack, before lunging forward and hitting her square in the stomach with the blunted end of his lance.

"Aughhh"

Having the breath knocked out of her, Mrazivý went flying backwards losing her grip on Eirwen, and going into a free fall without her beast companion.

Luckily before she had fallen too far Marcus reappeared and grabbed her out of the sky, and at the same time had used his spectral arm to pick up Eirwen and prevent him from falling any further.

"I win." James said, as his lance was held above his head poised to be thrown down at Marcus with blistering speed.

Seeing this Marcus knew he had indeed lost. He had seen how fast James' lance could travel when thrown, and it would be impossible for him to fly out of the way. That left his only option to be to return to his ghost form, but then Mrazivý would take the attack instead.

Nodding his head, Marcus said, "You beat us, there is nothing more we can do."

"Good, knowing when to give up is also an important part of battle.." James said, as he lowered his lance, and he and Fallon slowly floated down to the same level as Marcus.
