Transmigrated as a Ghost

As soon as Argus had all of his limbs recovered, he picked up the adamantine pendant and war hammer that had seemingly appeared out of thin air.

He then quickly deployed the armor that was sealed within the pendant and struck with all his might against the bars and barrier that were keeping him contained.

'Smashing Strike.'

As Argus hit the adamantine bars that were confining him, they shook violently, and ever so slightly bent under the full weight of his attack.

However, after his first blow, Argus knew he was going to have to hit much harder if he wanted to escape from his prison.

'Behemoth Aspect.'

Activating one of his unique skills, Argus began to grow in size, and surprisingly along with him so did his hammer.

BANG!

Hitting against the cell once again, this time with a deafening sound, the barrier began to crack, and the bars bent much further than before.

Argus began swinging his hammer around in a flurry, smashing against the bars over and over again.

Unfortunately, before he could fully destroy the cell, a figure wearing a long black cloak and holding a wicked looking grimoire teleported into the room with a very displeased expression on his face.

'How the hell did he get free, and where did he get that weapon and set of armor from?!' Teivel thought as soon as he saw what Argus was doing.

"Argus stop this foolishness. I do not wish to have to hurt you, but if you keep this up, I am going to have to." Teivel said hoping that his presence here would force Argus to submit.

But to his surprise Argus did not slow down and kept hammering away, slowly breaking through his cell.

Seeing this Teivel just sighed, and magical energies began to swell around him as he prepared to cast a powerful spell to bring Argus down.

Except right before he was going to cast his spell, his danger sense went off and as he turned to his left, he saw a silver talisman appear in the air and unleash a spell.

Quickly a glowing sphere encapsulated Teivel, as Marcus had used one of the spell sealing talismans that Tesia had given him, and unleashed the tier seven sacred magic spell, sanctified imprisonment.

And not a moment too soon, as Argus broke out of his cell, and had Teivel been unhindered it is likely he would have been hit with a powerful spell.

Appearing for the first time, Marcus stood in front of Argus and said, "Hurry up and go to free the others. I will keep Teivel busy here while you cause chaos and destroy the mana furnaces powering this place."

Nodding his head quickly in conformation, Argus did not waste a moment and smashed through the ceiling, wanting to get away from Teivel who was the only real threat to him as fast as possible.

Crack!

Not but an instant after Argus exited the room, the spell that was confining Teivel began to break, and a very ominous aura of darkness began leaking out.

Quickly the sanctified imprisonment shattered under Teivel's power, and he looked at Marcus who was standing there with a relaxed posture, with hatred in his eyes.

"I see, you must be the rebel insect that managed to infiltrate my Sky Citadel. I appears that my sister gave you some toys to try and deal with me, but do not expect them to save you again. Now I will deal with you quickly and recapture Argus."

Teivel casually flicked his hand towards Marcus and unleashed a very powerful darkness drill spell, that far outmatched Marcus' own.

But it was not like Marcus had to try and fight back with the same spell and activated his embodiment of light before unleashing a heightened quasar blast.

The powerful tier six light magic spell quickly engulfed the entire room, and overpowered Teivel's darkness drill.

Surprise was written all over Teivel's face as the blast of light began approaching him, and a resounding explosion rocked the entire prison.

BOOM!

As his quasar blast expanded it began bursting through the area, and first destroyed the hidden room Argus had been held in before moving into the prison proper.

It was a devastating attack that left a scar through the building, but due to its magical reinforcements the overall damage was not too devastating.

And using his distraction to the fullest Marcus took this time to move away and floated back up into the main prison area before becoming solid again.

'Yeah, I figured even that would not do any damage.'

Looking down into the massive crater he had just created, Marcus could see that surrounding Teivel were a series of darkness blades that were rotating all around him like a chainsaw.

Certainly, Teivel may not have been high on defensive abilities, but that did not mean he could not rip through any attack that came his way. 

"You were right. To you I may just be an insect, but I promise that I will be the most annoying insect you have ever dealt with." Marcus yelled down to Teivel to get his attention and anger him further.

Unfortunately, his provocation may have worked a little too well, as Teivel warped right up in front of Marcus, and hit him with the tier six darkness magic spell rending void.

However, unlike when Marcus used this spell Teivel's control over it was impeccable, and the powerful spell that normally destroyed large areas was completely concentrated on Marcus.

'Nope.'

With a single wave of his hand, Marcus completely dispelled the darkness magic spell that Teivel had cast on him, exerting his dominance as a ruler of darkness.

Seeing this Teivel was dumbfounded as to how Marcus had not only survived but come out unscathed from his tier six spell.

Marcus not wasting this moment jumped back creating some distance form Teivel.

Of course, Marcus knew this was not going to mean much since Teivel was using his authority as the Sky Citadel's warden to warp around.

So, to prevent this he phased his left arm into the ground and created and opening with a small blast of mana. Where he then deposited the spatial disrupter, he and Thabon had made together for his fight against Wyatt.

This way he could prevent Teivel from teleporting around, but more importantly from getting away from him. 

Marcus knew he needed to keep Teivel's attention away from Argus, who could move around and cause more damage than he could so long as Teivel did not go after him.

"What did you just do? How did you cancel my spell?" Teivel said his frustration growing.

He had already appraised Marcus and seeing that his opponent was only level forty-seven, it should have only taken an instant to deal with him.

'That aura of light around him, maybe protecting him from my darkness magic? Fine let me see how he fairs against the power of death.'

Realizing that his darkness magic was having a lesser effect on Marcus, Teivel decided to switch things up and cast a death magic spell instead.

'Horrid Withering.'

Unleashing his tier six death magic spell, Teivel sent out a wave of pure decay that destroyed every living thing in its way.

Not even the smallest bacteria survived as the spell spread out, and any organic matter began to shrivel up and turn to dust.
