TRANSMIGRATED AS A GHOST

Chapter 156 - 155 Back Home



After sitting in dismay for nearly an hour Marcus finally got over the trepidation, he was feeling from the possible debt he would have to pay in the future.

'It's fine, if whoever put this into me had not given it to me, I would have certainly ended up ceasing to exist with my soul scattered. As long as they do not ask me to harm any of the people close to me, I can do whatever I have to.'

Thinking about the positives of what had happened, Marcus laid back down in the bed he was in and decided to get some rest. He knew that recovering as fast as possible was imperative and that the sooner he was back to full strength the sooner he could head back home.

Three days quickly passed by, and Marcus had managed to make a full recovery thanks to his recently obtained soul regeneration skill and the spirt gem that was imbedded within him.

However, not only had Marcus managed to fully recover, but his stats were also still being increased by the spirit gem that did not seem to show any signs of stopping just yet.

'It is not moving as fast as before but my stats are still increasing at an unprecedented rate of around twenty a day. I guess that an item that is categized as mythic really is something else.'

Starting to think that obtaining this spirit gem was probably the second most fortunate encounter he had other than obtaining the greater than mythic rarity egg from the dungeon, Marcus could not help but smile.

Nevertheless, Marcus had now recovered and was strong enough to move out and head back to the capital city of Boreas.

Finding the five remaining members of Eternal Queens, Marcus had a somber look on his face as they all left the baron's mansion and headed to the graveyard where Jesnay and Branna had been buried.

Each of them had been given a proper grave in the town of Klopot and after they did their final goodbyes, Marcus and the others began making their way towards the exit of the town.

Retrieving Blitz who now had damaged antlers and two snow horses that they had purchased, Marcus and the Eternal Queens exited the town and began the journey back home.

Traveling through the snow-covered landscape, Marcus and his group managed to do their best to avoid any encounters with monsters and magical beast even though they normally would try to fight and obtain valuable materials.

Luckily the journey back home was scarce on dangers and other than a couple attacks that they could not avoid from a band of roaming icicle wolves and a monster called a numbing treant everything went smoothly.

Soon the large walls of the city came back into view and a warm feeling came over the group since they had finally arrived home after their sorrowful journey.

Using Marcus' status as a noble he and the Eternal Queens managed to enter the city easily and after saying some parting words went on their separate ways.

'I wonder what is going to happen to them now. They said that they were going to take the rest of the winter off and think about their next steps. I wonder if they will try to recruit new members or continue adventuring with just the five of them. I suppose that they may retire and find work elsewhere, I mean with their levels each of them could easily find employment. But I know now that my time adventuring with them is over, while at first, I was able to learn a lot from them, the difference in our levels just makes us less compatible now and I will only bring more danger to them in the future.'

After separating with the Eternal Queens and heading back towards his estate, Marcus soon heard a little ding in his head and heard a system notification saying.

'You have now fully integrated the item known as spirt gem (mythic) into your soul and unlocked a requirement for hidden evolution, Transcendent Ghost (Supreme Spirit of Light and Darkness).'

Stopping abruptly in the middle of the street while riding Blitz, Marcus could not help but be absolutely stunned.

Opening his status right away, Marcus looked over the message he had received and found a new window titled evolution on his status.

Quickly opening the page this is what he found.

Hidden Evolution: Transcendent Ghost (Supreme Spirit of Light and Darkness).

1. Obtain Level Seventy

2.?????????

3.?????????

4.?????????

5. Absorb a Spirit Gem (Mythic)-(Complete)

6.????????

Staring at the window in front of him Marcus was nearly foaming at the mouth from how astonished he was.

He had known that monsters, magic beasts, and even humans and such could evolve but it was pretty rare.

Even for common and weak monsters like goblins evolving into something like a hobgoblin was around one in a thousand.

'This was certainly unexpected. I already started out as a unique being on this world, so I never thought about evolution. I mean I knew it was a thing but its not like it really happens, it is more of something in legends. Except as impressive as this seems the problem is the requirements. Even the first requirement is to reach level seventy which I can not even picture happening in five years. And that is probably the easiest requirement while I have four others that are still hidden, while obtaining the spirit gem (mythic) was only the second hardest. I have no idea how rare this item must have been, but I doubt I would be able to find another one any time soon. Oh well, I can worry about this later for now I have other things I need to do.'

After spending a good amount of time looking at his evolution and thinking it over, Marcus decided to head back home since there was nothing he could do for now.

Arriving in front of his estate, Marcus was quickly let in by Violet who was the maid on duty.

However, before Marcus could head towards the main building Violet approached him and with a slight and respectful bow said, "Lady Irene, while you were away you received a letter from a Duchess Ophiria asking for a meeting with you. I know you told me and the others to refuse meetings with nobles other than the ones that you have approved but since this is a duchess and a relative of one of the people you know, it would be inappropriate for me or the others to send a refusal letter."

'Duchess Ophiria? Wait that must be Wade's mother. I wonder what she wants with me or how she even knows I exist. I guess refusing would probably be bad even though this will probably be a pain and a waste of time. I do not want to upset one of the most powerful people in the kingdom so I will have to meet her.'

Taking the letter, Marcus told Violet that he would read it and send an acceptance letter tomorrow.

With that bit of business out of the way Marcus proceeded to head towards the main building on his estate and when he arrived, he noticed that Clara was already waiting for him at the front door.

Walking up to her she gave him a quick bow before saying, "Lady Irene, it is good to see you have returned from your journey unharmed. I have already instructed Melanie and Stella to begin preparing you a meal, and Lady Lilia is visiting right now during the school break."

Hearing this a smile formed on Marcus' face since he had not seen Lilia for nearly two months since the Royal Academy was a boarding school.

Thanking Clara for her hard work, Marcus went inside and immediately went to locate Lilia finding her in the back yard practicing fighting with Amy.

Marcus standing from afar watched as Lilia using the mithril and steel alloy gauntlets he had made for her, fought hard against Amy who was the highest-level maid other than Clara.

As Lilia threw a couple of quick jabs, Amy used her shield to block most of them while using her foot work to narrowly dodge the others.

Lilia continued to try and press the offensive attempting to break through Amy's defense and when she saw an opening, she stepped in closed and punched forward with all of her force.

However, this was a trap that was set by Amy who had lured Lilia in on purpose.

Using her blunted steel training sword, Amy was able to slip the sword past Lilia's defense since she had gone in for and all out attack and trip up her stance.

Lilia her balance broken went tumbling onto the ground and when she tried to get up found Amy's sword at her throat.

With the fight ending in her defeat Lilia had a slight pout on her face, but when she heard clapping coming from her right side she looked over and when she saw Marcus a bright smile appeared on her face.

Getting up and running over towards Marcus, Lilia practically jump at him giving him a big hug.

Returning Lilia's embrace Marcus said, "You have gotten stronger Lilia, your form is looking a lot better."

Looking up at Marcus with a smile Lilia said, "Yeah the academy has taught me thoroughly and I even have personal master who is an expert in fighting with gauntlets."

Surprised to hear this since last time he had talked to Lilia she did not have master Marcus said, "That is wonderful, I will have to meet this master of yours sometime but for now how about we both get cleaned up. Dinner will be ready soon and we could both use a bath."

Looking at herself Lilia could see that her cloths were covered in dirt and grass and with a lightly embarrassed expression nodded her head.

Both Lilia and Marcus then headed inside to clean up and tell each other about what they had been doing for the last two months.
