Transmigrated As A Ghost

After their failed attempt to break through the ceiling and no other path to go down, Novak brought his party back to the sunken area of the sewer.

Every single one of them knew that this was a trap and that they were being led around by the nose, but there was nothing else they could do. Their only option as to face whatever waited for them head-on and hope that the skills they had cultivated over a long career as adventurers would be enough to see them through safely.

"Emerie, are you sensing anything down there?" Novak asked his party's scout.

"Sorry, from what I can tell with any of my skills, it's just an empty stagnate pool of water. But my gut is screaming at me that something dangerous is lurking beneath the surface." Emerie responded, a grim look on her face.

This was the answer Novak had expected. No matter how much this area seemed to be devoid of any monsters, it was clear that they had been brought here for a reason.

Perhaps if they were dealing with some mischievous fairy, it would only want to laugh at their misfortune as they waded through the vile water, however, there was no way any undead monster would act in such a benign manner. Whatever had forced them to this place wanted them to meet a horrid and violent end.

"Landyn, I'll leave this to you."

Nodding his head, Landyn, who had been silent up to this point stepped forward.

He was the tank of Novak's party and was not much for talking. Nevertheless, he was an expert at keeping his friends protected and fiercely loyal to them.

When he reached the edge of the collapsed section of the corridor, he placed his hand down on the ground.

In a flash a translucent green barrier extended out from his body and created a small platform over the water. Out of all the members of Endless Horizon's, Landyn was the only one that could fully manipulate the mana barrier skill and use it for applications other than a quick defense.

Landyn took the lead and slowly retracted his mana barrier from behind while extending it in front of himself. Effectively he had created a flying walkway for him and his party to use so that they did not have to enter the obviously suspicious pool of water.

Slowly they made their way across the stretch of the path that had sunken into the ground.

Novak's adamantine claw blades erupted in a bright light as mana rushed into them as he activated one of his best attack skills.

His weapons cleaved through the undead creature's arm with ease, and Novak splashed into the polluted water below without taking any damage.

Unfortunately, while his first maneuver had worked out, underwater he lost a great deal of his mobility and was unable to avoid the next attack coming his way.

The giant monster made from dead trees kicked him with one of its thick trunk legs.

At the last moment he guarded by crossing his arms in front of him, but the force of the impact blasted him out of the murky water and crashing into the ceiling above.

For a few seconds Novak had lost consciousness, but when he came to, he found himself embedded deeply into the sewer's ceiling.

Foul smelling water and blood dripped down his face, and his entire body felt sore.

Honestly, he just wanted to close his eyes and pretend that everything was fine, but there was no way he could do that while the rest of his party was still fighting.

He could not really see much of what was going on from his current position, but the sounds of fighting were reaching him loud and clear.

"It's been a while since I took a hit that hard, but it's nothing I can't handle." Novak said to psych himself up.

Reaching down towards a magic pouch at his side, he pulled out a healing potion.

With just one swift sip he would be able to fix his injuries and get back into the fight.

Except as he brought the potion up to his mouth, the ceiling around him began to constrict around him. The entity controlling the structure of the sewers was no longer content with just leading Novak and his party members around. Now that it had an ally to serve as a distraction, it was time for it to fight as well.
