Transmigrated as a Ghost

With their meeting concluded, the six Eminences worshipping the blue primeval demon left the room and went on their way to make arrangements for their upcoming plans.

Some of them went off together, but Mara left only with her two attendants in tow.

However, as she made her way to her room within the base, she noticed an unwanted guest waiting in front of her door.

"Get out of my way Vaughn. I've got a lot to do, and don't have time to deal with you right now." Mara said, her tone of voice conveying how irritated she was.

"Now, now, Mara. I'm not trying to pick a fight here. I am just interested in your new subordinate. I don't believe that you brought her with you last time we held a meeting." Vaughn said, turning his gaze towards the woman called Usi.

Hearing what exactly had caught his interest, Mara's lips curled up into a smirk.

"Ah, yes, she is new. Joined my operation a few months ago and worked up the ranks quickly to become one of my top lieutenants. She is certainly more talented than your man Argus. I wonder, are you possibly jealous?"

Mara seemed to enjoy the frown that was visible on Vaughn's face that could be seen under his hood. She figured that she had hit the nail on the head.

However, Vaughn could care less about Mara obtaining a new pawn. What was eating at him was a nagging suspicion he could not get rid of.

"She only joined you recently and you are letting her accompany you to a meeting with all of the Eminences Present. That is quite a bit of faith you put in her. How can you be sure she is not an agent sent by someone else?"

"Are you an idiot. Of course, I considered that she might be a spy. I personally performed a mind search on her. She's clean. Usi' as loyal as they come." Mara asserted. At this point Vaughn was beginning to frustrate her and she was only moments away from forcing him out of her way.

"If you say so, I suppose I must believe you. Still, I would like to see her face just in case. She reminds me of someone that I know."

At this Mara was about to explode. Vaughn was here questioning the loyalty of one of her most rusted subordinates, and the only reason she could think of was that it was a means to antagonize her.

Yet, before she let loose, Usi placed her hand on Mara's shoulder to stop her.

"It is fine Lady Mara. If Lord Vaughn wants to see my face, then I will simply show him."

After preventing her master from going ballistic, Usi placed both of her hands on either side of her hood and pulled it back.

Now unhidden by the hood, Usi's striking face was clear for everyone to see.

She was undoubtedly beautiful, with light blue eyes and dark pink hair. Her elven ears were long and pointed and gave away her race.

"So, do you recognize her? Is she anyone you know as you claim?" Mara asked sharply.

"No, I've never seen her face before. I must have been mistaken since her hair color is similar." Vaughn said, his eyes locked on the top of Usi's head like he was looking for something.

"Good, if you're done now, get out of my way! I won't ask nicely again."

Mara radiated obvious hostility towards Vaughn and was ready to forcibly move him if he continued to block the door to her room.

Holding up his hands, Vaughn showed that he had no desire to fight and moved away from the door.

Yet as he was walking past Mara and her two attendants, Vaughn stopped and addressed Usi directly.

"You know, your disguise this time was almost perfect. Unfortunately for you, I've had to stay on my toes around you for a long time. Back in Borealia, I considered you a greater threat than even Gwyneira. I spent so long wary of you and observing the way you work that I developed a sort of extra sense just for you, Head Royal Investigator, Alexandra Olympia."

Without warning, Vaughn pulled out a small glowing bead from under his robe and tossed it towards the ground.

An immensely bright light burst from the magic item as it shattered, and the shadows wrapped around the woman calling herself Usi were blown away.

When the light faded, the beautiful elven girl that had been standing there before was gone. Instead, she was replaced with a light pink haired rabbit beastwoman.

The moment her disguise was destroyed, Alexandra took a step back and kicked with all of her might towards Draegan.

Having caught the man off guard, she sent him flying with her strike and knocked him directly into Mara who was currently stunned to see that her trusted attendant Usi had never truly existed.

Draegan's body crashed into Mara with the force of a freight train, and the two of them went crashing through the walls of the secret underground base they were in.

"Argus, kill her." Vaughn commanded.

Letting out a loud growl, the man that had once been the third ranked Great Knight of Tralenstein transformed into a fully demonic form.

The robes that had been covering his body tore apart as his body exploded in size.

He then lunged at Alexandra like a savage beast. Sharp claws protruding from his hands and ready to tear her to pieces.

Except, his fierce attacks only sliced through the air as Alexandra agilely stepped out of his range.

She did not just dodge though, in her place was a small ball that exploded in Argus' face.

Its yield was not particularly high, but it was not intended to cause much damage. Instead, it released a large smokescreen that Alexandra used to cover her escape.

With lightning speed, she bounded off the walls and down the hall towards the nearest escape route she had mapped out earlier.

'Damn it! I can't believe my cover got blown already. Still, I need to get out of here and warn Boreas and Marcus. If we don't put a stop to their plans, it will mean the end of the world.' Alexandra thought as she rushed through the compound.

A blaring alarm soon resounded through the entire area, and everyone was alerted that an intruder had snuck in.

Soon all manner of cultist and demons filled the halls and attempted to capture Alexandra.

Their efforts, nevertheless, proved to be ineffective.

Alexandra was near level ninety and could not be stopped by weaklings, no matter how numerous they were.

Wielding twin daggers, she cut down anyone that got in her way and soon made it towards the base's exit.

Unfortunately, a powerful barrier had been erected to keep her inside and prevented her from advancing.

"This won't stop me." Alexandra muttered as she unleashed a barrage of blows to break the barrier.

Within just a few seconds the extreme power she wielded shattered the magical wall blocking her way.

Still, this slight delay was long enough for a truly dangerous entity to catch up with. A demon contracted to be the protector of this base.

"It's been so long since I last got to eat rabbit. You smell so tasty; would you mind if I just took one bite." A pitch-black demon with a giant mouth filled with razor sharp teeth said.

Alexandra turned around and attempted to strike the demon with her daggers, but before she could reach, its mouth had clamped down on her arms.

There was almost no resistance as it sliced through flesh, muscle, and bone alike.

Her arms torn off and reduced to blood stumps, Alexandra collapsed to her knees and stifled a scream of pain and terror.

"Delicious! You taste just as good as you look. Perhaps I'll take another bite." The demon said as it opened its mouth wide and moved to swallow Alexandra whole.
