Transmigrated as a Ghost-761 Chapter 761

With Inten sitting on his back Blitz trotted down the corridor following behind the devil that would be their enemy.

Of all the devils this one was the largest and the least humanoid in appearance.

He was a hulking man while black spiked skin up to his torso, and in his arms was a large double-sided ax.

His lower body was that of a lizard with a long flat tail and four legs. Each of which had sharp claws on them and dark green scales.

Overall, he stood nearly thirty feet high and made Blitz look small by comparison, and Inten could not even be compared with the difference in size.

Soon they made it to the end of the corridor and found themselves in a large and deep swamp that they could not see the bottom of.

A loud splash resounded through the area as the devil jumped in and even his huge form was swallowed up by the swamp.

'I did not expect such a large creature to rely on stealth, but he has completely vanished under there.' Inten said with his telepathy in surprise.

A moment later though the pathway they had been standing on the edge of disappeared and Blitz who could still not fly due to the dungeon's limitation fell into the water.

'Inten hurry up and make a platform for us. I have no desire to fight that thing in the water. Need I remind you that it is seven levels higher than either of us at level seventy-nine, or that we were picked to fight together due to how powerful it is.' Blitz said to Inten.

Inten let out a disgruntled scoff at having been given an order from Blitz, but still created a platform made of diamond that they could stand on.

'Now what? Do we just wait for it to come up and attack us?' Inten asked.

'Unless you have any better idea. If it was above the surface, I could find its location by feeling its movement through the air currents, but under such murky water none of my abilities are going to pick it up. I suppose I could try blasting it out of the swamp with lighting but depending on where it is I could just end up wasting my energy.' Blitz said with a frown on his face.

If the swamp had been smaller, he or Inten could have destroyed it and flushed out the devil. But it was over a hundred feet deep and went on for as far as they could see. Even their strongest attacks would not cover the entire area and would only exhaust them.

'Fine I will see if I can find it, but as you say it could be pretty much anywhere.' Inten said as he hopped off Blitz's back.

He then focused on the diamond platform he had made and began weaving thin threads out of it.

Slowly he began spreading them out in the murky water to try and locate their enemy that had disappeared the moment they got to the battlefield.

'Ah, I got a hit!'

'Blitz, around a thousand feet at about eight degrees. It moved away when I found it but should be at least around that area. Light it up.'

A smile on his face Blitz began cracking with electricity and unleashed his strongest attack upon the area that Inten had directed him to.

'Calamity Bolt.'

A single shot of compressed lighting flew off from Blitz's body as he cast his tier eight spell and ascended into the sky.

It then raced through the air until it hovered over the point Inten had pointed out.

For a second there was absolute stillness and quiet, before the bolt fell down upon the swamp.

It seemed to only be a normal bolt of lightning at first, but when it hit the bottom of the swamp it exploded into a blast of electricity that exploded out for a bit over three miles in ever direction. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

Blitz even needed to use his magic to create a barrier around him and Inten to prevent them from being consumed as well.

'You magic never fails to impress. And that Electro Master unique skill of yours that increased the power of your attacks by fifty percent is no joke.' Inten said with a bit of awe leaking out into his voice.

In terms of raw destructive power Blitz had him and just about every other member of their group beat.

Hot steam erupted all around them from the swamp water being evaporated, and a putrid smell filled the air along with it.

Large waves also began to crash about from all the displaced water and Inten had to raise their platform to prevent them from being swept away.

'So do you think that got him?' Inten asked to Blitz

'No, he got away. Only the edge of my attack even connected with that devil, and he swam out of range only a moment after. I don not think that was enough to finish the battle.'

Inten frowned hearing this. He had been hoping that Blitz's tier eight spell would end the battle in one blow.

Unfortunately, their battle was going to continue for much longer, and now the enemy knew just how devastating their power could be.

'How many more of those do you think you can fire off?'

'Maybe two. It takes quite a lot out of me both mana wise and mentally to use that spell. If I was in peak condition, I could easily let loose nine. But we have been fighting with practically no rest and I am sure you realize just how tiring that is as well.' Blitz said in response.

Inten nodded his head at this. He was feeling the mental and physical fatigue of fighting for five days straight as well and knew he could not perform at his best for long.

With nothing else to do the two of them waited for the devil that was their opponent to show itself. Except it seemed content to just hide within the swamp and not get close to them.

It really had no reason to fight them. So long as Blitz and Inten were stuck here, they could not do anything else, and the devil need only wait for its comrades to finish their fights and come assist it. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

'Looks like he it does not have any intention of fighting us. I suppose using your best attack as an opener was a bad idea. If it thought we were weaker, we might have been able to lure it in and strike.' Inten eventually said.

The two of them realizing that the battle was not going to be straightforward sat down and rested while coming up with a plan.

They did not need to exhaust themselves further by being fully on guard since Inten had left out a number of diamond threads to act as feelers that would detect the devil if he got within three hundred meters of them.

Eventually after around fifteen minutes they came up with a plan. Though Inten was not happy about it.

'I suppose that is our most likely way to lure it out, but it is risky. We could just wait for the others.' Inten said.

'No, we need to beat this thing quickly. While I do not think any of our companions will lose, the devils might manage to trap them or shake them off somehow and we could end up fighting more than one of them. Our best bet is to kill it quickly and go help the others if they need it.' Blitz said stoically.

Signing, Inten could only agree.

The two of them then turned in different directions and jumped into the swamp.

Soon they were both out of view from each other as they went further away to try and find the devil that was content hiding from them.

Yet, while it would not show up to face them both, their plan was to lure it out by offering themselves up as bait.

Surely when it realized that they have split up it would go after one of them to finish them off before taking on the other.

And just like they planned, it was not long before the aquatic devil moved in on Inten.

'I figured this would happen.' He thought as he created a new platform to stand on.

After Blitz's display of raw destructive force Inten was certain the devil would come after him first.

Of course, while Blitz focused more on power, Inten was the best at defense.

The devil started off the battle by swiping its hand through the water and sending out a large wave towards Inten.

It almost certainly meant to knock him off is platform but, all he needed to do was anchor himself in and let the water pass over.

Once the wave was gone the devil instead tried a more direct attack and sent out a barrage of fast-moving bullets of water.

'Diamond wall.'

Yet Inten simply remained calm and created a thick defensive barrier in front of him with his ability to manifest diamond.

The high-speed water bullets barely even left dents in the wall and the devil had to maneuver around and try and attack Inten from another angle.

'For as much of as it looks like a brute, it sure does fight with caution and finesse.' Inten thought as he blocked another barrage of attacks.

However, it was not long before Inten's defensive battle ended.

The plan all along had been for them to meet back up when the devil attacked one of them and Blitz appeared not long after.

He stood proudly atop the surface of the water, being able to easily run over it just the same as the ground. Up to this point he had feigned his ability to do so to prevent the devil from being cautious of his fast movement speed.

Immediately the devil tried to retreat, having no desire to take on both of them. But it was already too late.

Pillars of diamond rose up from the bottom of the swamp and created a dome around them.

During his time defending Inten had spread out his diamond all around them and now created an enclosed arena that the devil could not hope to easily escape from.
