Transmigrated As A Ghost - Chapter 984 984 (Spoiler, Title at the Bottom)

‘Looks like that was the last of them.’

Once the sound of gunfire and explosions had ceased, Marcus looked around and saw the area littered with destroyed robots.

The fierce battle had gone on for around thirty minutes and ended in absolute defeat for the robots.

Thanks to Marcus’ and Evette’s expert use of healing magic no one ended up dead despite being heavily outnumbered.

With how chaotic the battle had been Marcus had been unable to get a completely accurate count of the number of robots they had faced, but he was certain it was several hundred.

Each of the robots had been packing a great deal of power and it was honestly a bit surprising they won without losing anyone.

Of course, the main reason was that around midway through the fight most of the members of the expedition squad stopped holding back and unleashed their unique skills.

This gave them a sudden explosion of power that turned the tide of the battle almost instantly.

The robots were certainly strong, but their attack patterns were simple, and they lacked the power to put any of the members of the expedition squad down.

Nevertheless, the fight was not without its consequences. Several members of the expedition squad still had heavy injuries that required more precise healing. Plus, almost everyone had exhausted all of their stamina. Some were even suffering from the backlash of their unique skills. This was undoubtedly the most worn down the expedition squad had been since coming to this island.

‘For the wounded I can heal them after I recover my nearly depleted mana, but those suffering the negative effects of their unique skills is another issue. I already showed off Ultimate Refresh during the wendigo encounter so I could use it to restore them to peak condition. But I really do not want to waste any of my daily uses when we have no idea what might come for us next.’ Marcus thought, pondering what his best play would be.

Certainly, the overall strength of the group was important, but at the end of the day the ones that he needed to look out for most were the members of his own party. Especially Mrazivý and Miguel.

‘For now, I’ll worry about those with missing limbs and heavily damaged organs. I can think about how to use Ultimate Refresh afterwards.’ Opening up his item box Marcus took out a couple of high-grade mana restoration potions and downed them.

Immediately he felt a surge of energy and could feel that the around ten percent of his mana that he had left rapidly increasing.

He then walked over to Besso who was one of the ones that had fought the most fiercely on top of the wall and suffered the worst injuries.

Both of his ears had been blown off his head and he was currently missing his right eye.

Along with those injuries his left arm was charred to the point that Marcus could not see a single millimeter of healthy skin.

His face also had a sickly pallor to it, a clear sign that he was suffering from being poisoned.

‘Plus, he has some other minor external injuries and several of his organs are pretty heavily damaged. His regeneration skill is doing its best, but with his mana and stamina almost spent, he is barely healing.’ Marcus observed.

In all honesty it was a bit surprising that Besso was still alive. A normal person would surely have died already from these wounds. Yet, as a high-level adventurer, Besso was incredibly durable and could take this much damage and survive for a couple days even without treatment.

Naturally Marcus wasn’t going to test his resilience though. First, he used the tier eight healing magic spell true restoration to clear out the poison and then used the tier seven spell regenerate to heal his injuries.

It was slow going due to how horribly battered Besso was, but within a few minutes he would be healed.

While Marcus was tending to his first patient, Mrazivý approached him. Appearing far less injured than most of the others that stood on the front line of the battle.

“Thanks for the timely support. Whenever I was in a pinch you either healed me or used magic to block an attack meant for me. Though, I think that some of the others might not be too happy about your obvious bias in supporting me so heavily.” Mrazivý said, letting Marcus know some of the complaints he had heard after the battle.

“They can shove their grievances into a furnace for all I care. I made sure no one died. You’re my wife. Of course, I am going to prioritize you over everyone else. Anyway, you more than pulled your weight. Out of everyone I think you took out the most or second most robots.” Marcus replied.

He truly did not care what the others thought. If he was forced to choose between saving everyone else or only Mrazivý, he would pick Mrazivý every time. Surely, he would not just toss everyone else aside, but he was no hero. When it came down to it, he had his priorities on who he valued the most. Undoubtably everyone else here did as well.

“Okay, that should do it. Onto the next person.” Marcus said once he had finished treating Besso.

However, on his way over to Fianna who had lost a few of her legs, something entirely unexpected happened. n)-//())—(.1-(n

Several scattered parts of the destroyed robots began to glow brightly before floating into the air and flying off in the direction of the island’s center.

‘What the hell is going on?!’ Marcus thought in shock.

He attempted to intercept some of the flying parts with magic since he had a bad feeling about what was going on.

Unfortunately, while he and some of the other members of the expedition squad were able to destroy some of the items, most of them escaped into the dense fog and disappeared.

“What just happened? The remnants of the robots that had fallen just lifted up and flew away. Did the same thing happen up here.” Evette said, after quickly ascending the wall.

Those that had been at the bottom had all quickly climbed to the top when the robot parts began to move.

Around half of them still had some serious injuries, but it had been described that it was more important for the entire expedition squad to join up on top of the wall rather than continue to treat injuries.

“I am not exactly sure, but I expect that something far more dangerous than the robots we just fought is coming. Those parts did not just fly away for no reason.” Marcus responded, looking towards where the parts had gone.

Soon Marcus’ prediction came true.

Miguel, using his summons as lookout spotted a colossal form marching towards them.

It was a robot just like the ones they had just fought, but it stood a hundred and seventy meters tall and had thousands of weapons all over its massive body. Without a doubt it had integrated the parts from the other robots in order to strength itself and become a greater threat than all of the other robots combined.
