Transmigrated as a Ghost

Now having the devil confined within a battlefield they could control Blitz and Inten took over the initiative to attack.

Spears of diamond and spheres of electricity danced through the area and relentlessly chased down the devil as it attempted to evade and unleash counter attacks.

It used its double-sided ax for the first time and unleash a powerful blast of mana at Blitz who it felt was the greatest threat.

But the attack never reached him. Inten jumped in front of the attack and swallowed it whole.

Then he returned it back to the devil even stronger by adding his own mana.

A large explosion rocked the area and waves began crashing against the walls of diamond Inten had used to isolate the area.

'He certainly is tough.' Blitz said when things settled down and the devil came back into view.

The devil did not have so much as a scratch on it. Its skin was now pure obsidian and was giving off a slight glow.

It was quite obvious the devil was using some sort of unique skill that boosted its defense to a very high degree.

'Looks like this is going to take longer than we hoped.' Inten thought while manifesting more diamond spears around him.

Once he was ready, he fired off a number of high-speed projectiles towards the devil, but everything just bounced off of its enhanced skin.

The devil smirked as this happened and charged towards Inten and Blitz for the first time.

Up till now the devil had not tried to close the distance between them, but now that it was confident that its defense could block their attacks it was moving into close combat.

'I suppose that I should meet it head on. Blitz keep backing me up with your lighting magic. Just make sure not to hit me as well.' Inten said before rushing forward.

Quickly the tiny mouse that was not even comparable in size to the devil seemed to grow larger.

However, upon closer examination, he was not getting any bigger and was instead wrapping himself in diamond.

By the time he clashed with the devil he had created a fifty-foot-tall mouse out of diamond that he was controlling from inside.

He was able to control this manifestation just as easily as his own body so long as he was inside of it, and Inten lashed out with his massive claws and met the devil's ax.

The world seemed to shake as their attacks impacted and vied for supremacy.

In the end Inten's attack faltered despite his colossal diamond form.

The clawed paw he had stuck with began to shatter and the ax cleaved deep into the giant mouse made of diamond that Inten was controlling.

Yet the ax still stopped far short of reaching Inten at the center of the diamond mouse colossus, and its function could continue easily through the amount of damage it had taken.

Without any delay Inten lashed out with his long diamond tail like a whip and smacked right into the devil's chest.

A loud sonic boom followed, and the devil was blown back and hit against the diamond arena keeping it locked in.

Following up not giving their opponent any time to recover Blitz fired off multiple blasts of lightning that fried the devil.

For the first time it let out a pained howl and glared towards Blitz.

Despite the amount of electricity coursing through it the devil seemed mostly annoyed by the damage it was taking and began pulsating with mana in retaliation.

A few moments later it unleashed an omni direction attack that engulfed everything in its way.

Nevertheless, no matter how powerful the attack, since it was made of mana Inten could eat it. He jumped out of the giant diamond mouse he was controlling and open his mouth to consume the mana.

Except this was exactly what the devil had been waiting for.

Even though it looked to be nothing but a brute, it was quite intelligent and had realized already that Inten could somehow absorb mana.

The attack it had used was simply juicy bait to lure Inten out.

With astounding speed it appeared in front of Inten and swung its ax with all its might.

It seemed that Inten could do nothing to avoid the attack as he was preoccupied absorbing the blast of mana.

'Physical Nullification.'

The second before the ax hit him Inten simply smirked and used another one of the unique skills he had obtained.

It was his ultimate trump card in taking attacks which nullified any non-magical force against him.

The skill drained an immense amount of mana with each hit he blocked, making it not very useful for long battles. But coupled with Magic Eater, Inten could take just about any attack and come out unscathed.

When the ax hit him all of its power and momentum suddenly disappeared, and Inten just stood there as if nothing had happened.

This astonished the devil that was certain it had gotten a clean hit that should have easily turned Inten who was a tiny mouse into a bloody pulp.

'Volt Crash.'

While the devil was stunned by Inten, Blitz rushed in with a tier six spell cast on himself and jammed his herons clad in electricity into the devil.

For an instant he was repelled by the devil's unique skill that increased its defenses, but his horns soon pierced through.

Now that he was an Emperor Kirin his horns had the power to break through almost anything and deal massive damage. Similar to a dragon's fangs.

This time when the electricity ran through it, the devil really felt it and its body started smoking from being electrocuted.

Nevertheless, it was still a high-level devil, and after a second to recover it kicked Blitz back and swung its ax to follow up.

Inten interposed himself between this follow up attack and used his Physical Nullification to stop it.

This ate through nearly half of his mana even after he had used Magic Eater. Showing just how powerful the devil's attacks were.

'Don't just charge in recklessly like that Blitz. This thing is strong and can take a hit. We need to remain on guard and wear it down before delivering a finishing blow. Allow me to keep its attention and you just focus on ranged attacks. I will make an opening for you eventually to use a big move.' Inten said as he jumped back onto the diamond mouse colossus.

Blitz nodded his head and thanked Inten before backing off further away from the devil.

Now back in control of his giant diamond puppet Inten charged towards the devil once gain and got into a melee with it.

Earth shattering blows followed as Inten clashed once more with the devil.

His diamond mouse colossus was constantly being shattered in places which he would rapidly fix, and when it seemed he would be overwhelmed Blitz unleashed a lightning attack to stun the devil while Inten recovered.

They fought like this for nearly ten minutes until the devil finally created the opening it wanted by pinning Inten down.

In an instant the spikes on tis body began to glow and they extend in every direction.

Even the diamond around Inten making up his ability was no match and the spikes pierced through it like needles through fabric.

One of them went right for Inten and he failed to use his Physical Nullification in time.

The spike pierced right into Inten, and he was splattered in his own blood for the first time since he had evolved to a mythic grade beast.

However, he pushed through the pain and focused on the diamond around him and continued manipulating it.

All the spikes that had pierced into his puppet found themselves begin pressed down on and the devil could not pull himself free.

After all this time Inten had finally managed to lock down the devil and taking advantage of this Blitz cast another spell.

'Lightning crucifixion'

As Blitz released the tier seven spell A large pillar of electricity in the shape of a cross formed around the demon and lighting spikes pieced into its arms and legs in order to pin it down.

This was the strongest binding spell Blitz had, and with it even a being as powerful as the devil they were fighting could not break free easily.

And to further incapacitate it Inten dropped the from he had been controlling and spread the diamond around the devil. Wrapping it up tightly.

Then with a pained grunt he pulled himself from the spike that had pierced him and began crushing the devil.

Loud popping sounds could be heard as its joints cracked and soon even its bones creaked under the strain of Inten's diamond vice.

'Inten, I understand you want to crush it, but hurry back to me. We cannot risk it escaping and need to finish it off right now.' Blitz said with a frantic tone.

In response Inten let out a loud scoff. Though coming from him it was actually a rather adorable sounding squeak.

He was seeing red after being stabbed and wanted to thoroughly destroy the devil himself.

But when he saw that his diamond was beginning to crack, and the devil might break free, he jumped back towards Blitz and created a small platform next to him.

Now that Inten was no longer near the devil, Blitz began charging up with an immense amount of electricity. And when he was ready, unleashed his final attack.

'Calamity Bolt.'

For the second time the compressed electricity flew into the sky and came down in a single strike.

It seemed incredibly normal at first just as before. But when the bolt hit the devil, it exploded in a blast of power that covered everything within a three-mile diameter.

A barrier of lighting covered Blitz and Inten as it passed and the two of them stood inside the only safe area within the blast.

When it finally settled down everything around them was barren, and even the diamond arena Inten had created was gone. Vaporized into nothing.

All that remained of the devil was charred corpse that was slowly falling apart into ash.

'You have leveled up to level seventy-three.'

At the same time after the devil was dead, both Inten and Blitz received a level up notification.

The devil they had just killed together had given each of them enough experience points to level up thanks to its higher level.

Having received the notification it was certain that the devil was dead, and both of them collapsed onto the diamond platform they were on in exhaustion.

The fight had been harrowing and now that it was over, they were completely wiped.

'You doing okay Inten? You took a pretty nasty wound.'

'I will be fine in a little while. My regeneration has already fixed most of the damage, but my mana is practically empty, and my body feels like lead.'

Unfortunately, as much as they both just wanted to fall asleep and disregard the world, they knew that the others might need them.

After a short break they forced themselves up and headed towards a glowing portal that had appeared. Figuring that was probably the exit and would take them to one of their other companions.
