TRANSMIGRATED AS A GHOST

Chapter 263 - 263 Permafrost’s Downfall (5)



As the ravenous abyss finished eating the last member of permafrost it turned its attention towards Roxene and Marcus' maids.

It had been told to kill them all, and since these three were here they must have been a part of that.

Noticing that the creature created from his spell began to creep its hands towards his partner and maids, Marcus stood in front of it and said, "That is enough, I do not need you anymore."

Yet the ravenous abyss disregarded Marcus' new order, deciding that it needed to follow the first one before executing the second.

"Oh, that is how it is going to be." Marcus said, with an angry tone that even scared the ravenous abyss.

The conjured creature quickly got ahold of itself and did as Marcus had ordered, not wanting to be destroyed.

If it was killed, then the next time the spell was used it would create a new ravenous abyss, but as long as the current one survived, next time it would still be brought forth again.

Watching the creature created by his spell disappear, Marcus could only think that this spell might be more trouble than it was worth.

It certainly was powerful, but also the only ability he had that was unruly and did not follow his exact commands.

However, he could worry about that later, as right now he needed to get both Grace and Jenna to safety.

"Okay now that the path is clear let us go back home." Marcus said as he deactivated his supreme skill.

However, the two of them were looking at Marcus in a different light after watching what he had just done.

Even though they had not been on the receiving end of Marcus' attack, the two maids had still witnessed as scene more horrifying than they had ever imagined, and their master was the one who had caused it.

Seeing how his maids were now looking at him with fear Marcus felt a bit sad, and he now realized that this was probably not the time to have tested out that spell.

"Sorry that you had to see that, but it was a necessary move in order for us to escape. That was one of my strongest spells, and without it I was not sure I could win."

Of course, Marcus was lying, he had any number of different ways to win, but he was hoping to put both Grace and Jenna at ease even if only a little bit.

Luckily, it seemed to work as the two of them remembered how Marcus had come here to save them even at his own peril.

"Forgive us Lady Irene for the way we just acted towards you. We are obviously grateful that you were willing to even use something like that to save us." Jenna said, putting on a brave face.

With the way now clear of any resistance Marcus led Jenna and Grace out of the Permafrost compound and back towards his estate.

When they arrived, the guards and maids on duty were naturally stunned to see Marcus who they thought was in his room, but even more so that Jenna and Grace were with him.

Opening the gates and running out, the two maids currently on watch duty being Amy and Violet, ran right up to Jenna and Grace.

Violet and Amy then pulled Jenna and Grace into their embrace as the four of them started to cry in relief.

They had gone to the academy together and helped each other through thick and thin, and in many ways were like sisters.

"Thank you for rescuing them Lady Irene." Violet and Amy said.

They were truly grateful to be in the service of someone who was willing to stick their neck out for them and even risk their own life to keep them safe.

"Do not mention it, it was the natural thing to do. Now Amy go and wake the other maids and tell them that Jenna and Grace have returned. Violet, you continue to stay watch here with the hired guards, and Grace and Jenna come with me, I need to make sure you are both alright."

Doing as they were ordered, Amy went off to tell everyone that Jenna and Grace had returned, while Marcus led Grace and Jenna to his workshop for some privacy.

Once inside he told the two of them to take a seat while he looked them over.

Luckily as he checked them for any hidden magic devices, he found none, and then turned towards their missing hands.

A soft white glow then began to flow out of Marcus and permeate into Grace and Jenna's missing hands.

It was a far contrast to the cold oppressive darkness Marcus had displayed earlier, and both Grace and Jenna felt a comforting warmth as the light enveloped them.

However, when they felt and saw their hands starting to grow back, both of them went wide eyed and gasped out in shock.

"Stay still both of you or the healing process will not go as well."

After giving them a warning both Grace and Jenna calmed down and stopped moving, though both of them were still astounded to see their hands growing back.

Neither of them thought this to ever be a possibility, and that they were likely to lose their jobs as maids, or at least have their pay heavily lowered.

Yet here was their master using some mysterious power to restore their bodies.

"There, all done. How does it feel can you move them without any difficulty?" Marcus asked, wanting to make sure that Grace and Jenna's new hands worked fine.

The two of them quickly moved around their new hands, finding that they were just as good as the ones they had lost feeling completely natural as if their hands had never been cut off.

Crying the two of them looked at Marcus and said, "Thank you Lady Irene. We both promise to serve you for the rest of our lives, and even then, that may not be enough to repay the kindness you have shown us."

Having expected this outburst of emotion since it was pretty much the same he had gotten from everyone he had healed up to this point, Marcus said, "No need to worry about it. If not for me being targeted neither of you would have been abducted. Anyway, the only thing that the two of you need to do to repay me is to keep this power a secret. If anyone asks, I just gave each of you a lesser elixir to fix your hands."

The two of them nodded their heads ready to take this secret their master had asked them to keep to their graves.

"Now you two go and show everyone that you are fine before getting some rest. I know that it must have been hard on the two of you, so feel free to take as much time as you need. I still have more work to do so tell everyone else that I will be back in around a day or so."

After having healed Grace and Jenna, Marcus headed back out. He still had some work to get done before Permafrost got into too much of an uproar.

The first place Marcus decided to go was to the main base of Permafrost where all of their leaders would get together for meetings.

Normally this would be an impossible task, but with all of Obadiah's memories and his stealth abilities as a ghost, Marcus easily made it into the inner portions of the base.

Going around the base, Marcus collected any evidence he could, simply dropping it into his item box.

Once that was done, he headed to Obadiah's main residence and did the same, though he also grabbed any money that he could find.

He then paid a visit to every high-ranking member of Permafrost in the city and collected incriminating evidence against them.

Once that was done, the last thing he did was to go by Ryker's home and clear out the safe he had been told about.

In total Marcus had collected around eighty thousand gold worth of money and valuable items along with enough evidence to bury Permafrost in a deep grave.

Of course, Marcus could have gotten even more money, but he only took the wealth from Ryker and Obadiah since he had already killed them.

He did not want to raise any flags with mountains of missing money.

Naturally he knew that if he ever wanted to make tons of money he could just floated into people's houses and clean them out.

However, this was not how Marcus wanted to live since it would make him feel awful and could possibly get him or Lilia in danger should someone really powerful get on his trail.

Fortunately, Ryker and Obadiah were already dead so they would not miss their money, and with the storm that was about to blow in, neither the kingdom nor Permafrost were going to have time to worry about a little missing money from people who were already dead.

'Now I just need to go drop everything I collected off with Wade and let the dominos fall.'
