Transmigrated As A Ghost - Chapter 992 992 Aftermath

‘You have leveled up to level seventy-four.’

Marcus had finished off the colossal robot with its own attack and leveled up in the process. Yet, despite his achievement, he felt no sense of pride or happiness.

Wearing a pained expression, he looked towards where Ashton and Fianna lay on the ground motionless.

It was honestly a miracle that their bodies were still recognizable after being hit by the colossal robot’s intense beam of light.

Hoping that there was any possibility that they had survived, Marcus used his Light Speed Movement unique skill to appear next to them in an instant.

He first looked at Ashton whose obsidian skin was cracked all over and drenched in grey blood.

Putting his hand on the earthen man, Marcus did not feel a spark of life in him. Without a doubt Ashton had already died.

Holding back on his despair, Marcus moved Ashton’s corpse that was on top of Fianna and checked her as well.

Her wounds were horribly grave, with her lower spider half completely missing and only her human torso remaining.

She had terrible wounds all over her body that leaked blue blood. Both of her arms were seared and twisted unnaturally, and she had several holes that had pierced through her in many places.

Yet, even as grim as her condition was, Marcus sensed the faintest bit of life still in her. ‘Ultimate Refresh.’

The moment he had ascertained that Fianna was still alive Marcus used his Supreme Skill without hesitation. He was unsure that his best healing magic would act quickly enough and felt it was better not to take any risks. All at once, Fianna’s body restored itself and she returned from death’s door and was brought back up to full health.

With glazed over eyes, she blinked several times before her consciousness returned to her.

She looked down at her miraculous recovery and could not believe her eyes. Just a second ago she could only feel intense pain and was certain that her life was about to slip away.

Unfortunately, Fianna’s elation at having survived did not last long. When she saw Ashton’s lifeless body she cried out and rushed over to him.

“NO! Ashton! Fianna screamed. “Please, you have to wake up! You can’t be gone. What about our party’s dream? We all promised that we would reach the peak of this world together.”

Fianna cried profusely over the body of her fallen comrade, but her tears and grief could not bring back the dead.

However, before she gave into hopelessness, she turned towards Marcus and looked at him with pleading eyes.

“Please, you have to help him. If he had not jumped in front of me and acted as a shield, I am certain he would still be alive. You were able to heal me, so surely you can bring him back.” Sadly, Marcus could only shake his head in response. He could bring anyone back from the brink, but once they crossed over the line and truly died, there was nothing he could do.

‘No, there might be something I can try.’ Marcus thought, not giving up.

He opened his status and touched on his healing magic skill. It was currently level eight, but if he were to upgrade it to level nine, he could learn the tier nine healing magic spell miracle of life which could bring the dead back so long as they were not gone for more than a minute.

It would cost him most of his skill points to bring the skill up to the next level since he only had a slightly above average affinity with healing magic, but in this moment, he figured that it would be worth it.

However, before Marcus could go through with raising his healing magic skill, he felt a clothed hand on his shoulder.

“If you can restore my status back to peak condition, I can do it. There is no need to force yourself.” Evette said.

Marcus Internally berated himself for forgetting about Evette. She had not gained the moniker, Saint of Life and Death for nothing. Marcus had seen her use the tier nine death magic spell, so surely, she could use the tier nine healing magic spell as well. He should have thought about her immediately instead of relying only on his own abilities.

In his right hand he conjured up another silver ball of light and threw it at Evette.

Within less than a second her stamina and mana were completely restored, and she began to cast miracle of life.

The powerful healing magic spell took the form of a bright golden glow.

The light flew off of Evette’s body and into Ashton’s. The wounds on his body began to heal quickly and soon he was back to normal without a single scratch on his body.

Evette began to waver after using the spell and leaned against Marcus for support. Normally it would not have taken this much of a toll on her, but time was of the essence, and she had forced out the mana for the spell far faster than she could safely handle.

“Did it work?” Marcus said, noticing that Ashton’s body still remained unmoving.

He could not sense a spark of life despite Ashton’s body being in immaculate condition.

‘Were we too late?’ It was hard to gauge how much time had passed since Ashton’s death. Marcus and Evette had acted quickly, but if they had been even a second off, Ashton would not be able to return. “Huuuuh!” After what felt like an eternity, Ashton took a deep breath and began coughing profusely. They had acted quickly enough for Evette’s magic to resurrect him.

Not waiting for him to recover, Fianna jumped on her party member and gave him a powerful hug.

Ashton, who was still out of it from just having come back to life, was unsure why his party’s leader had suddenly jumped on him.

“Owowow! Fianna, you are going to break my bones.” Ashton said as his body let out an unpleasant creaking noise. n-(-/(-/-/)//I/)n

Nevertheless, Fianna did not relent and continued to cling to her longtime friend. Tears of relief flowing down her face like a waterfall.
