Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 71 - 70 Boss Of The Third Layer

'You have level up to level twenty-seven'

Marcus was not surprised by his level up since he had been fairly close to the next level after defeating the necromancer and his army of undead. He then quickly accessed his status and distributed his stat points, giving nine to both intelligence and spirt, eight to agility, and seven to strength and vitality.

Looking over his skills Marcus desperately wanted to get one of his level four skills to level five but found that the difference between level four and five to be steep.

Even for the two skills he had the most affinity for, scythemanship and iron magic, Marcus found that it would cost him fifty-six skill points to level up scythemanship and fifty-eight for iron magic.

'I wanted to save up and get a more powerful skill but if I am going to challenge the boss of the third layer, I need every advantage I can get.'

Using every last one of his skill points Marcus leveled up his mana body, speed burst, mana regeneration, and powerful slash skills to level four.

With his status now updated and his combat strength once again increased, Marcus looked at the open boss door in front of him, and instead of entering turned around back towards the cyclops and serpent.

Marcus knew that he would need around another hour to get back into peak condition and he had no intention of fighting the boss if he was not in top form.

He then headed of to the cyclops and sliced open its chest and hacked away at its muscles until he pulled out a large, green magic core slightly bigger than his head. Satisfied with the color and size of the core Marcus stored it away in his item box before heading over to the serpent's body.

He had to proceed very carefully using his iron threads to lift the serpent in the air as he cut a large gash on its throat, allowing the acidic blood in the serpent to completely drain out.

Once there was but only a few drops of blood left in the serpent Marcus, removed its fangs and magic core before storing them in his item box.

With his loot now collected, Marcus sat down and focused on his recover so he could take on the boss at his best.

'Now I need to not lose track of my goal, if Mraz is not alive in there, I have no reason to risk my life fighting a creature that is obviously going to be stronger than me. It took everything I had and then some too beat the two guardians, so the boss is certainly stronger. And if she is alive, I need to try to get her out without fighting if all possible, I may be tough and near unkillable, but I do not want to stress test my survivability if I do not have to.'

With his plans set Marcus sat down and relaxed for around an hour calming his mind and strengthening his spirt.

Once he felt he was at his prime, Marcus stood up and made his way towards the large double doors that lead to the boss' chambers.

Walking through the doors Marcus finds himself in a small room with only a descending spiral staircase in it.

Checking around just to make sure that there was no secret door or hidden space, and when he was satisfied that here were none he went over to the stairs and began his decent.

After walking down about the equivalent of five flights of stairs Marcus arrived in a massive open room that had huge luminous crystals jutting out of every wall.

The room also had streams of water flowing through it causing their to be a light mist in the room obscuring Marcus' vison slightly at farther distances.

Carefully walking deeper into the room Marcus kept his eyes out for the boss and Mrazivý.

Soon he found Mrazivý completely encapsulated by ice like a cocoon and the massive boss of the third layer trying to chew through the icy protection.

Looking at the massive boss Marcus saw that it was over twenty feet tall, around fifty feet long and had numerous distinctive features.

The third layer boss had the head and body of a lion, but its mane was made up of writhing tentacles instead of hair, its four legs all had webbed feet like a duck, it had two large lobster claws jutting out of its shoulders, it had wings like a bat, and its tail was like a shark but at its end had spines coming out like a stegosaurus.

'What the hell is that thing, while the book I read did not have many details about the type of monsters that could spawn as the third layer boss, there were no records of any creature remotely like this. Ugh and just my luck it is level thirty-three the highest recorded level of any boss on the third layer.'

While Marcus was appraising the weird monster than was the boss of third layer of the Ocean bluff temple it had been continuing to chomp down on the ice protecting Mrazivý and cracks were beginning to form all over the ice.

Realizing that to rescue Mrazivý he would have to fight and that it was only a matter of time before the monster broke through whatever power was protecting her, Marcus snuck forward doing his best to not garner the boss of the third layer's attention attempting to get off a sneak attack.

He had managed to get within about a hundred fifty feet when Marcus felt that any closer and he would certainly be noticed.

Sending as much mana as he could into his right-hand Marcus unleashed a powerful heightened thunderbird strike hoping to catch the beast off guard and do serious damage with his first attack.

Unleashing the powerful spell, the electricity taking the form of a thunderbird shot forward with amazing speed and power.

However, the boss of the third layer was not so easily surprised and when the spell was being formed, it sensed the new intruder that was trespassing into its home and turned around to counter.

The boss of the third layer then let forth a torrent of boiling water from its mouth, which impacted with and overpowered Marcus' tier four lightning spell.

Seeing the blast of boiling water coming right for him, Marcus used his speed burst to quickly move out of the way as the water blasted through the ground carving out another stream in the dungeon's floor.

Looking over towards the boss Marcus saw it leisurely lumbering towards him as if it did not view him as any threat but simply some food to be played with.

Realizing he was going to be in for a tough fight, while the beast was slowly approaching him, Marcus cast his enchantment spells, and infused his weapon and body with mana.

He then summoned his iron golem and ordered it to attack, while he followed right behind.

Letting his golem take the attention of the boss monster Marcus swiftly ran around its side and tried to slash the underbelly of the beast.

Unfortunately, the boss monster cared not for the iron golem and simply swatted it aside with one of its huge paws, while at the same time swinging its tail at Marcus.

Having to cancel his attack and take evasive action Marcus jumped out of the way of the spiked shark tail and looking over towards his iron golem saw that the single paw swipe had totaled it leaving him alone to fight a creature well above his level.
