Transmigrated As A Ghost - Chapter 991: Final Spiteful Attack

After touching back down on the ground, Marcus let out a relived sigh now that the colossal robot was no longer moving.

He had been a bit anxious that even the combination attack utilizing his, Miguel’s, and Mrazivý’s strongest attacks would fail to bring down the mechanical titan.

Luckily, his worries had been proven to be for nothing, as they had broken through and destroyed the colossal robot’s power core.

‘And it looks like everyone is still alive. Though some are in worse shape than others.’

He could see plenty of members of the other teams with injured members, some of which were missing limbs or had horrible burns all over their bodies. n–/..(//()/(I–n

Evette was already using what mana she had left to administer healing, but everyone was running on fumes and only around a half minute away from suffering the backlash of Miguel’s unique skill.

‘I guess I should go and offer my healing as well. Once the effects of Miguel’s unique skill ends, I can use my Supreme Skill to restore mine and Evette’s statuses so that we can continue treating everyone.’ Marcus thought, walking towards the nearest person in need of his aid.

“Good work out there. Those javelins of yours really helped out towards the end there. I’m not sure how we would have been able to get close without you diverting most of that thing’s attention. Away from the rest of us” Petlar, one of the giant twins in Fianna’s party said to Marcus with a smile on his face.

“We all had our roles to play. Without you and Ashton focusing on its remaining leg and crippling its movements, I don’t think we could have landed the finishing blow.”

“Hm, I’m not so sure about that. We did some good damage, but I think it was well restrained even without us.” Petlar said, gazing towards Evette.

It was in large part thanks to her Supreme Skill that everyone had been able to focus on attacking without worrying about the colossal robot suddenly thrashing about.

Still, Marcus assured Petlar that all of them had been necessary to win.

“Oh, and once we have gotten some rest, if you’ll let me see your weapon, I’ll fix it up for you.” Marcus said.

He was easily able to discern that Petlar’s adamantine mace was warped and that its edges had dulled with just a single look.

“Thanks. I’ll take you up on that offer.”

Once he had finished healing the worst of Petlar’s injuries, Marcus moved on to the next person right as Miguel’s unique skill wore off.

Immediately he felt like all of his energy had been drained and even standing up felt like a chore.

Nevertheless, it was not nearly as bad as the backlash from his own Soul Burst unique skill, so Marcus was used to dealing with worse.

‘Just a quick use of Ultimate Refresh and I’ll be back up to full strength.’ Marcus thought.

Yet before he could use his Supreme Skill, something wholly unexpected happened.

The colossal Robot’s dormant body began to burst with energy and its head that had been still came back to life.

While tis main power source had been destroyed, it had a secondary backup within its head that was still completely intact.

Of course, its body was far too damaged to move and almost of its weapons were destroyed or damaged beyond usability.

However, it did have one last attack that it had saved that would exhaust all of its remaining energy at once.

Its head quickly began to shift, and a large compartment opened up to reveal the barrel or a giant cannon.

An echoing whirling sound resounded through the area as the weapon charged up. Unlike the guns and rocket launchers that made up the bulk of the colossal robot’s weaponry, this cannon was far more advanced and could fire a concentrated beam of light.

For just a moment everyone stood frozen and stared up in shock. If they had all been in peak condition they would have all jumped into action immediately, but due to exhaustion from the hard fought battle and the aftereffects of Miguel’s unique skill, no one reacted immediately.

‘Shit!’

Marcus was the first to come back to his senses as he knew that there was something he could do. With the state everyone else was in, he was the only one that would be able to act.

In an instant he used his Ultimate Refresh to eliminate his exhaustion and restore his nearly empty mana pool.

Unfortunately, the short amount of time he had spent stunned by the colossal robot’s reawakening proved to be too long.

Its laser cannon finished charging just as Marcus was enveloped by the silver glow of his Supreme Skill.

With an intensity greater than Marcus’ strongest light magic spell the cannon fired at the closest targets.

Fianna and Ashton were engulfed by the beam of destructive light, unable to avoid or block the attack in their current conditions.

The colossal robot then turned its head and aimed to sweep through everyone it could with its final attack. It had certainly already lost, but it would take out as many as it could before shutting down for good.

“No!” Marcus screamed out loud.

He had watched as Fianna and Ashton were consumed by the attack, but he wasn’t going to let anyone else get hit.

Without hesitation he used his Light Speed Movement unique skill to appear next to the beam of light and held out both of his hands to catch it.

As the beam touched him, Marcus felt his Ruler of Light race ability activated.

He could not be hurt by light-based attacks other than those by another ruler and he could even control light-based powers others used.

Quickly Marcus had taken over the colossal robot’s own attack and pushed the beam of light back to its source.

It took only a moment for the intense beam of light to obliterate the colossal robot’s head and destroy the weapon it had originated from.

Still, Marcus was not done. He used the lingering energy from the weapon to carve into the rest of the colossal robot’s body and turn it into a heap of scrap metal for good measure. He was not going to risk it launching another attack.
