Transmigrated as a Ghost

A torrent of emotions came over James when he saw the devil that his siter and her beast companion had chosen to fight against.

At first, he was hit with denial, believing that it must have simply run away from her or possibly bound her and Eirwen up.

Yet he could not keep out the thoughts that perhaps Mrazivy had been killed and that was why the devil that was her opponent was here now.

"Potential Transfer!"

Rage clouding his mind James activated another of his unique skills which brought his abilities to another level.

It allowed him to increase two of his stats by up to a hundred percent though the other three stats would lose up to twenty percent depending on how high he raised the other two.

The only limits on the skill were that it could only be used five times a day and lasted for seven minutes per activation.

Still unlike Marcus' soul bust that had a nasty backlash that left him in a weakened state afterwards.

This time he went with the skill's full capabilities and raised both his strength and agility by a hundred percent while lowering his vitality, intelligence and spirt stats.

He wanted all the speed power he could get even if it came at the cost of his toughness and the amount of mana he had.

"You should not take your eyes off any of your opponents." Mavxire said as he appeared right next to James who had lost his cool and turned his full attention to the new devil.

Having to make full use of his newly powered up agility James twisted his body and brought his lance in front of him to block the blow coming from Mavxire.

The bident hit against his lance with an immense amount of force and he felt heat transfer into this weapon and began burning his hands.

The pain was intense, and he wanted to let go but he knew that if he lost grip on his weapon, he would be practically defenseless.

James gritted his teeth and used his strength to push through and knocked Mavxire away with his full force.

The proud devil looked a bit shocked and also impressed by James' power and was forced to jump back or be overpowered.

"I am surprised. You were not that fast or strong before. That unique skill you used really is something. But it will not be enough for you to beat me." Mavxire said to James with a prideful grin wit lowering his eyes towards James' burnt hands.

"You should take your own advice and keep your eyes on your enemies." Fallon said as she appeared behind Mavxire.

With a swift motion she brought down her clawed foot on top of him, intent on crushing him.

"Oh, I never disregarded your position." Mavxire said as he seamlessly jumped away and towards the other devil that had just arrived.

A loud crash then resounded as Fallon's heavy blow connected with the ground and caused a localized earthquake from the sheer power behind it.

The two devils took to the air to avoid the aftermath of the attack and James had to brace himself with a mana barrier.

"Arrakas I am pleased to see that you have finished your battle, but your information was not quite as accurate as usual. These two are far stronger than you informed me. Of course, it is still within the realm of which I can certainly handle but what went wrong with your unique skill?" Mavxire asked to his fellow devil while floating in the air.

In repose Arrakas shrugged his shoulder and said, "I am not exactly sure, but it is possible they all have a skill working on them that is stronger than mine and sends out false information, or perhaps a very powerful item that can even fool my unique skill. My opponents were similar more powerful than anticipated but I managed to kill them." 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

While the two devils were having a conversation James struggled to keep his footing in the wake of Fallon's full powered stomp.

But when he heard from the devil called Arrakas' mouth that he had killed Mrazivy and Eirwen, James lost it.

Without any restraint he jumped towards the devils despite the fact he had no way to maneuver in the air at the moment. All that was on his mind was destroying the begin that had killed his little sister.

He immediately applied his Targeted Foe unique skill to Arrakas and prepared to use his strongest attack.

It was a power he had not been planning on unleashing since it had devastating consequences, but in his fury, he was not thinking about what would happen afterwards.

"Sacrificial Strike!"

When James used this skill his left arm and eye began to break apart into motes of red light.

This energy that came at the sacrifice of his body gathered into his lance and made it undeniably stronger.

Never before had he used such a large amount of his body to fuel his unique skill's power and had only at most used a finger before when testing it out.

Still, the more he gave up, the stronger the attack became. And even though the parts of himself taken as compensation by the skill could not be healed for twenty days through any means, he was willing to give up his left arm and eye for an immense boost in power.

With his remaining arm he thrust towards the surprised devils his spear glowing a dark red and overflowing with more power than it ever had before.

Yet James' attack never reached his target.

The moment before he hit Arrakas, Mavxire jumped in front of him and swung down with his bident.

He had used his own unique skill, Unwavering Pride, to give him a large increase in power and met James' head on.

For a few seconds James and Mavxire fought for supremacy, until James unequivocally overwhelmed his enemy.

His lance shattered the bident that Mavxire was wielding and pierced right through him with all the rage and energy James had put into the attack.

The terribly powerful devil popped like a balloon from the amount of force behind James' strike.

However, despite the fact he had destroyed one devil, it was not the one he had been aiming for.

Arrakas had been his target, but now that the energy from his attack had been expended, he would not be able to launched and equally powerful attack without sacrificing more of his body as fuel.

And to make matters worse, Mavxire's exploded body turned into smoke once again and coalesced into a seed which sprouted into another black flower.

This time when he was restored his skin had a purple hue to it and his body was less toned and had become more bulbous.

Not waiting for the devil to recover after reviving for the second time, Fallon opened her mouth and fired off her breath weapon.

After James used his full power to deliver his last attack, he was not in any position to keep fighting and Fallon wanted to take out Mavxire permanently before they had to fight against Arrakas.

Except as the flame breath was about to hit, Mavxire opened his mouth as wide as his entire torso and Fallon's flames got sucked into it.

Once the entire breath attack had been eaten, Mavxire let out a loud burp and a puff of smoke came out of his mouth. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

"Ah, that was quite the delicious meal to have immediately after awakening for the first time in so long. I cannot remember the last time both pride and wrath were taken out and I had to show myself."

Having watched Mavxire undergo another major transformation and easily eat one of Fallon's strongest attacks, both her and James were completely stunned.

This battle was nothing like they had ever experienced, and they were beginning to believe that their enemy could not be killed.

Unfortunately, while they seemed to have little chance of victory against Mavxire, who kept revieing himself, and Arracks who so far had not done anything. They had no choice but to continue fighting for their lives.

At the very least, James was able to land back on the ground after his reckless attack.

Despite his situation not being the best due to the loss of his left arm and eye, Arrakas had not pursued him and flown far away from James who was emitting an immeasurable amount of malicious towards him.

While it may not have been possible for him to launch another attack of the same caliber, Arrakas was not going to take that chance and kept his distance from James.

"Arrakas, get down here and help me out. Pride is already gone and blocked that attack that was meant for you, so you owe me. I am hungry and want to finish this up fast and find something else to eat." Mavxire said.

His entire demeanor and personality seemed to have taken another shift. Now he no longer cared about the fight and simply wanted it over.

"Very well, I will help end this battle quickly." Arracks said as he dropped down right behind Mavxire.

With the two devils now faced towards them James and Fallon prepared for the fight of their lives.

James was still fuming about Arracks saying he killed Mrazivy and wanted to rashly charge in again. But Fallon held him back.

The two of them then took up defensive positions after Fallon convinced James that their best bet at victory would be to wait for one of their allies to show up like Arracks had.

But as they prepared to wage a defensive battle, something wholly unforeseen happened.

Arrakas stabbed a large dagger into the back of Mavxire's head and killed him for the third time.
