TRANSMIGRATED AS A GHOST

Chapter 268 - 268 Training With Thabon (2)



With Marcus having fired his railgun at him, Thabon clad his left arm in crimson flames before it shot out in front of him at an incredible speed.

He then caught Marcus' iron sphere that had been propelled at Mach seven with his flame clad hand.

Being pushed back a dozen feet Thabon could feel the extreme power behind Marcus' attack and was impressed by it.

Nevertheless, as impressive as the attack was all it did was push Thabon back as the iron sphere quickly vaporized under the heat of his crimson flames.

Clicking his tongue Marcus was disappointed that his railgun did not do anything against his master, other than cause him to use some sort of flame ability.

Of course, he did not expect his attack to hurt Thabon but the fact that it did so little was still a bit vexing.

That was his strongest single target attack and Thabon had just taken it with one hand like they were playing a game of catch.

Shacking his hand that was slightly tingling Thabon looked over at Marcus and said, "I hope you know it is rude to interrupt someone when they are complementing you. Though I do also have to congratulate you for that last attack since it is something I have never seen before."

However, after giving Marcus a bit of praise it was Thabon's turn to attack, and he disappeared from Marcus' view while his danger sense went off like crazy.

The next thing Marcus felt was his side caving in and smashing into a wall like a meteor.

It took Marcus several seconds after being smashed into a wall to register what had happened to him.

Everything had happened so fast it seemed almost unreal, but now that he could look back on it he knew that Thabon had punched him in the side and sent him flying.

There was no special trick just a straight punch that had sent him barreling into a wall like a ragdoll.

Marcus could feel that he had suffered some heavy internally damage to the pseudo structure his solidified soul created, but luckily his regeneration was already hard at work, and it was not like he had any organs to get damaged in the first place.

After just a few seconds Marcus could move again and he yanked himself out of the wall, only to see Thabon standing there with a potion in his hand.

Thabon himself was astounded to see Marcus actually pull himself out of the wall since he figured he would have multiple broken bones after that punch.

Certainly, he had held back but that was still around seventy percent of his raw strength which would have turned most people into meat paste if they were hit by it.

Seeing the potion in Thabon's hand Marcus said, "Thanks for the concern but I will be alright. Just give me about half a minute and I will be fully recovered."

Marcus' body then made a few cracking sounds as the bone like structures that his physical form had made snapped back into place.

"I knew you had a regeneration skill, but I did not know it was this strong. It seems to almost be on par with a troll's." Thabon said as he analyzed Marcus' healing ability.

"Hm, oh yeah, it actually upgraded recently and became high speed regeneration." Marcus said in a nonchalant manner.

Shacking his head Thabon could not believe that Marcus had obtained such a coveted skill, that was the highest tier of regeneration other than certain unique skills.

"You certainly do have many talents, Irene. Not only do you have your blessing of iron but one of the greatest skills. Very few races that are not born with a natural regenerative ability like trolls or vampires every obtain such a skill. Even I do not have a regeneration skill after everything I have been through." Thabon said with a bit of envy.

"Yes, I do have my fair share of luck, but I have also been nearly killed on numerous occasions and fought hard for the strength I have obtained."

Nodding his head Thabon said, "Yes you should be proud of yourself. You have come a long way in a short amount of time. Now would you mind explaining the principles behind that attack you just used, truth be told I have never seen anything quite like it."

After explaining the principles behind his railgun spell, Thabon began rubbing his beard as he said, "Truly ingenious. To think that a spell developed for moving large amount of cargo could be utilized in such a way. Of course, I had heard of people using it to disarm those that use iron or steel weapons, but mithril is not magnetic so it is not like it useful for dealing with stronger people."

Thabon then looked over Marcus' scythe and the enchantment he had embedded into it to enhance his extreme magnetism spell.

"I see so that is how you got to that level of acceleration." Thabon said after examining Marcus' scythe.

However, his happy expression at seeing a new type of enchantment changed quickly and he looked at Marcus seriously and said, "Never show anyone other than me or Gurrom this type of enchantment. Mana cannons are already powerful enough, but if nations started to make weapons using the same principle as your railgun as you call it, things could become ugly."

"Understood. I never intended to spread this power around anyway."

Marcus could understand Thabon's worry. If some nation made a giant version of his railgun, they could easily send massive steel projectiles at their neighbors and demolish any city within range.

"Okay now that I know about what degree of strength you have, we can get into some sparing practice." Thabon said as he brandished his hammer.

Seeing this Marcus got into a defensive stance and immediately deployed his radiance scales spell.

He was not sure how effective it would be against his master's attacks, but it was better than nothing.

Making the first move Marcus swing his scythe toward Thabon but as it was about to hit, he changed the direction and brought the handle up towards Thabon's' chin.

Nevertheless, his master saw right through his feint and blocked it with his hammer before counter attacking.

Immediately Marcus could tell that Thabon was holding back trying to only be slightly above his level of speed and strength.

The two then continued to spare and as time went on Thabon started pushing Marcus harder until he was almost unable to keep up.

'Looks like now is the time. Embodiment of darkness.'

Activating one of his unique skills Marcus caught Thabon off guard for a moment with his explosive increase in power but his master soon began pushing him again as even with his unique skill Marcus was still below him.

"Good, a unique skill that temporarily raises your power. However, I can tell it is putting a strain on you, how long do you think you can keep this up." Thabon said while hammering away at Marcus giving him no room to breathe.

Seeing as how even with one unique skill he was still far weaker than Thabon he decided to make one all-out attack and see what would happen.

'Embodiment of eclipse, Dark Form, and soul devour.'

After using everything he had other than soul burst, Marcus exploded with power that shook the building as he sent a full powered slash towards Thabon.

Thabon for his part was astonished to see the change in Marcus' power. He had suddenly become many times stronger than he had been before and Thabon actually felt a bit of danger coming from his attack.

Channeling mana into his hammer for the first time Thabon met Marcus' strike head on and even activated one of his attack skills.

"Grand impact."

As the two attacks met Marcus was completely overwhelmed as even with everything he had, Thabon pushed him back, and with a loud boom Marcus smashed straight into the reinforced wall.

It was the hardest Marcus had ever felt like he had been hit and figured that it must have been what it felt like to run into a train.

Yet he was still alive, mostly because of Thabon's excellent handling of his hammer sending most of the force up and instead of directly at Marcus.

Running up to him in a hurry Thabon said, "Irene are you okay."

Groaning Marcus replied, "Yeah just give me a minute."

After hearing this Thabon let out a sigh of relief since he had gone a bit overboard using one of his attack skills.

Once Marcus had recovered from the heavy blow that Thabon had hit him with and the backlash of his supreme and unique skills, he pull himself out of the wall and brushed himself off.

"You really are sturdy Irene. Also sorry about hitting you so hard, that last attack of yours felt a little dangerous so I reflexively used an attack skill." Thabon said as he bowed his head apologetically.

"No, it is fine. I attacked with everything I had there and aimed to kill so your reaction was understandable." Marcus said as he looked slightly dejected.

He knew deep down that there was no way he could beat or even hurt Thabon, but he was still surprised to see how handedly he was beaten even with nearly his full power.

Though he was certain that even if he used soul burst it would have been the same result just showing how strong his master really was.

"Here your scythe." Thabon said as he handed Marcus his weapon which had gone flying out of his hands when they clashed.

"To think that someone more than thirty levels lower than me could make me feel even slightly at risk." Thabon mumbled under his breath.

However, Marcus managed to just hear this and inquisitively asked, "So master would you tell me what level you actually are?"
