Transmigrated as a Ghost

508 Chapter 508 Very Unlucky

Once Marcus had detached the elemental crystals form the earth and glacier respectively, he felt quite the sense of joy.

When he had first decided to explore this glacier, he had never thought he would find such valuable items.

Of course, it was not like they were not heavily protected. But at this point very few things could stop him from getting his hands on something if he really wanted it.

'Oh, they have both been destroyed. Time to get into position.'

Feeling that both his iron golem and ravenous abyss had met their end. Marcus floated up to the roof of the area and waited.

He still had one last prize he wanted to obtain, and even though he was not certain he could succeed. He figured it was worth a try.

Soon the mutated Remorhaz frost worm entered the chamber again, and it was clear it had not gotten out of its battle unscathed.

There were a couple places on its armor that were lightly cracked and other patches that showed signs of corrosion from dark magic.

However, its slight injuries completely disappeared from its mind when it saw the carnage left in its chamber, and the now missing elemental crystals it had been absorbing energy from.

Letting out a roar of unbridled rage. The monster began thrashing its head back and forth looking for signs of the intruder that dared steal from it.

Yet it was this moment of distraction that Marcus had been waiting for. When the boss of the glacier was consumed by its emotions.

'Eclipse Railgun.'

Having already prepared, Marcus reappeared and within just a second fired off a full powered railgun directly towards the Remorhaz frost worm's head.

The large iron sphere traveled incredibly quickly at close to Mach eight. And the large monster even sensing the danger was not able to full dodge the attack.

Still, it had moved its head to the side and the railgun missed hitting it square in the head and instead hit it in the side.

Nevertheless, a projectile with this much force behind it packed quite the punch, and the monster's head began to crack as the iron sphere flatten around the point of impact.

The Remorhaz frost worm then crashed down into the pool of lava at the bottom of the chamber. As it had suffered a devastating blow that had left it stunned for a few moments.

'Time to finish this.'

With his quarry having survived his first attack, Marcus dropped down at a rapid pace while coalescing all of his power toward his scythe.

But a monster this old and powerful was not going to go down easily, and while it was still suffering the shock of the heavy blow to its head. The Remorhaz frost worm began unleashing a bombardment of ice and fire missiles from its body.

Its numerous spikes began glowing, before firing off a barrage of blasts of both fire and ice all though the area. Having complete disregard for everything else.

In its very long life, it had never been this threatened, and it was going to do everything it could to ensure its own survival.

Spinning around and dodging the bombardment. Marcus continued his descent, building up speed and momentum as he activated his death dance attack skill.

His movements became faster and more fluid, and soon he was in striking range of the massive monster that ruled here.

'Eclipse Reaper.'

With all of his power channeled into his scythe, he struck down with all his might towards the monster's head.

He aimed right for where his railgun had already done massive damage and jammed the enlarged blade in.

Digging in, Marcus pushed hard, and his scythe slowly slid deeper into his opponent's head.

However, as he was very close to slicing into its brain, the Remorhaz frost worm's entire body became engulfed in a twister of fire and snow that blasted Marcus away.

It was a incredibly powerful attack, that was quickly overwhelming him, until he went ethereal.

Now back in his ghost form, the destructive attack that had just been unleashed towards him passed right by. Unable to cause him any further damage.

'Unfortunately, you still lose.'

Connecting with his scythe that was still embedded in the monster's head. He forced it to move forward, and the blade pierced into the Remorhaz frost worm's brain.

The creature began thrashing around as this happened, but this did not help its cause, as the thrashing only caused Marcus' scythe to shred its brain even more.

'Return.'

Bring his scythe back to prevent the damage it was slowly taking, Marcus watched as his oppoenet began crashing round trying to escape its own chamber.

Yet all of the opening were actually now gone as its earlier bombardment had blasted and collapsed part of the glacier around them.

'It certainly is tough, but it is time to end this.'

'Cataclysmic Iron Sword.'

Casting his tier six iron magic spell, Marcus created his titanic weapon of destruction.

Spinning it around he increased the amount of centrifugal force it had. Before launching it right towards the boss of the glacier who was trying to escape.

Sadly, it was just a bit too slow trying to melt out another tunnel and with a resounding crash, Marcus' cataclysmic iron sword cut the monster in two.

Immediately as it split apart, frost and fire began pouring out of the creature and engulfing the area in a massive explosion.

Still even its final death attack, failed to do anything to Marcus who was in his ghost form.

'And now to collect my spoils.'

Floating up to the now dead Remorhaz frost worm. Marcus brought out his spectral arm and enlarged it with his spiritual power, before pulling the upper part of monster out from the ice.

'Head or heart. Let's see if I get lucky.'

Cutting into its tough armor with his scythe, Marcus first checked the creature's chest hoping that its core was there.

'Jackpot.'

Luckily, he managed to get it on the first try as it was about fifty-fifty on weather a monster's core was in its head or chest. Most of the time.

With this very powerful core that held both fire and ice elemental powers secured. Marcus began sectioning off parts of the monster's armor planning to use it to enhance some future creations.

Once he had done that. He went around what remained of the chamber and collected some more elemental crystals.

Certainly, he had already grabbed the two of the highest quality, but there were still plenty more that were better than what could normally be found on the market.

'That should just about do it.' Marcus thought once he collected the last high quality crystal he could find.

With his exploration complete and some very valuable rewards gained. Marcus began floating back out of the glacier.

He had managed to have a good time exploring the interesting ecosystem within. And while he may have now heavily damaged it. He had no regrets.

This was a world where might often made right. And against monsters, he had no reason to hold back.

'The area is still a hotspot for elemental energies and the other creatures still inhabit this area. Eventually things will once again go back to the way they were. They were all just very unlucky that I found their home interesting to explore.'
