Transmigrated as a Ghost

'Phoenix Fire.'

Casting the tier seven spell out of the blaze glove Marcus wrapped up hundreds of the Dread Burrower's tendrils in extremely hot flames that caused them to burst as the liquid quickly boiled.

Along with his attack, Asher the Sword Savant fired off a barrage of mana slashes, and Gwyneira cast a wide ranged ice magic spell.

This helped to take a lot of pressure of Jaela who had rushed in ignorant of their current adversary's impossibly powerful regeneration.

She had honestly thought she had killed the gigantic worm and ended this whole debacle, only to be surrounded by numerous tendrils that were about to blast her with a barrage of beams

Still with everyone else's aid she easily blocked the remaining attacks with a flurry of giant leaves that appeared out of nowhere.

Though once they had finished weathering this attack, the Dread Burrower had put itself back together after being cleaved in half.

"As you can see this thing does not die easily. Now I think it would be best if we moved out of its range and discussed our strategy." Marcus said to Jaela.

A conflicted expression on her face, she signed and said, "Very well."

After that they all flew back up to Retharin and Ardea, and Jaela said, "All of you get on Deku, and I will take us out of here."

Doing as she said, everyone landed on one of the colossal flying tree's roots, and right before the Doomsday Worm's tendrils reached them, the tree began glowing before vanishing.

In an instant they were warped away and appeared over the ocean not far from Loursend and floating in front of them was some sort of floating sprout that was being used a way point.

Once everyone had regained their sense from the teleportation, Jaela let out another sigh, obviously displeased by making such a hasty retreat.

However, while she did want to minimize the damage to the forest, she also saw that her attacks had been ineffective, and that she needed more information from those who had been fighting for days already.

Shrinking down into his ice elf form so that he could look everyone in the eye, Retharin began introducing Ardea.

"This here is my friend Ardea, the Grand Witch of the Peaks. Along with Irene here who is a mutual friend, we asked her for help in this battle since she is very strong and had connections to others of equal power."

When the Sword Savant heard this, he whistled loudly and looked at Ardea with a fierce gaze that gave away his intentions.

Feeling his battle thirst directed at her, Ardea gave him a wink and said, "If we all get through this alive then I would love to."

Naturally she could tell that Asher was very strong as well, even if he was four levels lower than her.

Still, they did not have much time, so Ardea quickly became serious again, and said, "This here is my friend Jaela, the Grand Witch of the Forest. She is the only one who answered my call to help. Well answered it within a timely manner that is. Some of the others said they would be here in a few weeks, but I can imagine that there would not be much left of this kingdom by then, so we both rushed over here."

With Ardea having given her an introduction, Jaela introduced herself again and then got right down to business.

"Now what can you all tell me about that thing. It is quite different from the Doomsday Centipede that I have heard about that is supposed to be a similar monster."

Quickly Marcus and Retharin explained the powers and abilities of the Doomsday Worm to Ardea and Jaela. Telling them everything they knew about it, including its battle tactics.

"I see, so it is very different than the last doomsday monster that I have heard about from tales of the past." Jaela said.

Their curiosity piqued, Marcus, Gwyneira, Retharin, and Asher asked for more details about the previous monster of the same class as the one they were dealing with now.

Giving a very abbreviated version of the events they had heard about, Jaela and Ardea told what they knew, and it turned out these two monsters were very different.

The Dread Flame was apparently quite a bit smaller than the Dread Burrower, only having been around five miles long.

However, it was much quicker, and its very presence set the land around it ablaze for many miles.

It was a far more proactive monster in terms of the destruction it wrought, but it did have one clear difference.

Its regeneration was not much different than any other being at that level, and when its head and a good amount of its body were destroyed it died.

"That thing is abnormal in that it seems unkillable. I cut it in half lengthwise and its was back up in a matter seconds." Jaela said with frustration written all over her face.

Hearing this, Asher just nodded, and said, "I did a lot worse than just cut it in half. I sliced it into over a dozen pieces and it still pulled itself together. I honestly am beginning to wonder if it can even die."

Once all of the pertinent information had been shared among them, they began talking strategy for how they were going to take the Dread Burrower down.

"I suppose that really is the only option then." Ardea said

Looking sullen they all had come up with a way to win, but it was not going to be easy.

All of them concluded that the only way to kill the Doomsday Worm was to destroy its entire body in a very short amount of time before it could regenerate.

Of course, this was far easier said than done even with the addition of Ardea and Jaela.

"But for just a bit longer we need to simply keep it at bay. More reinforcements form the kingdom should be arriving in a couple of hours, and with their help our man and fire power will increase by a bit." Gwyneira said.

"Okay Jaela, now that we are ready to go again if you would not mind taking us back." Ardea said to her fellow grand witch and friend.

But before she warped them all away, she looked towards Marcus and said, "Okay, so who is going to explain why there is a level fifty-two here?"
