Transmigrated as a Ghost

750 Chapter 750 Floor of Hell

Now that their group had decided to move forward, they spent a single day after Marcus’ arrival resting and preparing for the final challenge.

It would be the biggest battle they had all experienced with their entire team going in together.

“So, we have our formation down. Inten, Roxene, Quillon, Lilia, and Lyra will take point. While James, Fallon, Eirwen, Blitz and Zareen will be our mid guard. Finally, I, along with Mrazivý, Alaric, and Aurelia with be the rearguard.” Marcus said to make sure everyone knew their roles.

In response they all nodded their heads.

It had been decided that Marcus and Mrazivý would be acting as leaders for their group, since they were the best at obtaining information about enemies and could take over any position with their powers.

Mrazivý in particular was going to be important with her dragon eyes which could perceive the value of most things.

Of course, this dungeon never seemed to play fair and plenty of times Mrazivý had her race ability blocked. Though it still had the highest track record of working over and other power the group possessed.

“I suppose we are ready then. Let us all step onto the teleportation circle and hope we do not get separated this time.” Mrazivý said.

At this everyone grimaced. Remembering the time they first entered the dungeon and found themselves all suddenly alone and facing enemies that countered them.

Still the dungeon guardian had never lied to them even if it held back information. Therefore, they believed it when it had told them that all of them would be participating together against the final floors together.

Once they were prepared, weapons at the ready. Their group of fourteen shuffled onto the teleportation circle and for the last time were warped away to a trial that would make them stronger.

When they arrived, they found themselves facing a type of floor that none of them had ever been on up to this point.

Before them was a seemingly endless grassy plain with a dark red sky above their heads.

It was an incredibly dour atmosphere in a place that gave off a foreboding aura.

All across the field was a sea of monsters of all types.

Just at a glance Marcus saw goblins, trolls, all manner of undead, and many more he did not recognize.

To make matters worse, there were numerous battlements set up that the monsters were manning and would be impossible to simply get by from the ground.

“This is certainly not what I thought we would be in for. I have never seen this many monsters in one place before.” Quillon said with a tense expression.

They had been expecting more along the lines of a battle against a few powerful enemies if there was going to be a fight.

But what lay before them was an army tens of thousands strong.

The numbers even made the mass battles Lyra and Marcus had seen while fighting the civil war in Tralenstein seem small by comparison.

Yet instead of their own army, between them was just slightly more than a dozen individuals.

“Mraz, can you see any of their levels from here?”

“Yeah, but there are too many for me to accurately figure out what the range is. So far, the lowest I have seen is forty-five, while the highest is fifty-seven.”

When Mrazivý relayed this information to everyone, they were absolutely astonished.

Certainly, a level forty-five or even fifty-seven would be no threat to any of them at this point, but and entire army composed of monsters this strong was a major threat.

To a medium sized town, a level forty-five monster was a major threat in most cases, with only the strongest defenders begin capable of taking it on.

Naturally their group consisted of powerful fighters, but what stood before them was a kingdom ending threat if it were to exist out in the world and not confined to this dungeon.

“Well sitting around here and shaking in our boots at the absurd number is not going to get us anywhere. They appear to be waiting for us, so let us make the first move.” Fallon said as she transformed from her humanoid from.

In an instant she turned into a giant bird with bright orange and red plumage and scales around her feet and neck.

After going through the special dungeon everyone of the beast companions had made it to the mythic grade, and Fallon was now a Zenith Minokawa.

Just by spreading her wings she unleashed a wave of power that shook the earth, and with a single flap she rose up into the sky.

And immediately her spectacular display was put to an end, as she unceremoniously crashed back into the ground.

Everyone stared around stunned at this. None of them had ever seen Fallon simply fail to take off.

It was not even that she had taken an enemy attack or suddenly needed to dive to avoid anything. She simply lifted off into the air and made it a dozen feet before falling back down.

However, while everyone else was flabbergasted by what just happened, it was Fallon herself who was the most stunned.

She could not understand what had just occurred.

Not once in her life had she ever had any trouble flying expect when she was freshly hatched thirty-seven years ago.

“Fallon are you alright? What just happened?” James said in concern for his partner. Being the first to come out of their collective stupor.

“Uh yeah, I am not injured, but when I flapped my wings, it was like I could not feel the air under me like normal. It was as if I simply slipped through.” Fallon said, describing what she had felt.

Hearing this was highly disconcerting, and Marcus looked towards Blitz and told him to try and fly up as well.

He had evolved into an Emperor Kirin, an entity that was known as the ruler of the skies.

Yet even Blitz who should have been able to walk on air even easier than the ground found himself unable to find any purchase.

Watching this happen Quillon did not wait another moment and tried creating mana barriers under his feet to climb up into the air with. But the second he stepped on one it shattered, and he dropped back to the ground.

It was clear now to everyone that this floor not only had an impossibly large army for them to face, but that they could not gain a height advantage by going into the sky.

“This does not bode well.” Lyra said while turning her gaze towards the endless sea of monsters.

The creatures which still stood around a kilometer away at the closest were jeering at them for all of their failed flight attempts. Showing no signs of charging in but more than happy to make fun of them.

With the ability to fly taken away from them, they no longer had any means of escape should they be surrounded on the ground. No safe area they could flee to in order to rest.

All they could do was face off against an army made up of more monsters than they could count head on.
