Transmigrated as a Ghost-Chapter 825 825 What Lies Below The Resort

Once inside the elevator alongside Mrazivy, Marcus accessed the panel to activate it and closed the door without moving the elevator.

"This should do." Marcus mumbled after examining the floor of the elevator.

He then used his glyph tuning skill to disable all of the enchantments within the elevator for a short time and got to work.

No matter how stealthy he and Mrazivy were, if they used the elevator as it was intended, they were likely to make some sort of commotion that could be noticed.

To avoid this, instead of actually using the elevator, Marcus was going to use his iron magic to open up a hatch in the floor.

"It certainly goes down for a long way. I cannot see the bottom." Mrazivy whispered to Marcus.

In terms of seeing in pitch darkness she could see farther than him, but still the bottom was beyond her sight.

"I suppose all we can do is drop down and see what is down there. From here on out stay behind me and keep your eyes out for any traps. Also, we should not speak from this point onward. Try to use gestures or if we really need to communicate use telepathy." Marcus said, wanting to be extra cautious.

He was wary of an enemy having the telepathy jack skill and picking up on their conversations, or there possibly being some enchantment that might even be able to detect such communications.

With this preparation ready, Marcus took the lead, reverting to his ghost form so as to not trip any sort of security.

Mrazivy followed behind him by about a hundred feet and kept her eyes moving around in search of any enchantments that might have been etched into eh walls.

However, their vigilance proved to be unnecessary.

The walls of the elevator shaft did not have any sort of security measures added into them and they reached the bottom without any issue.

'They certainly put tis place deep underground. I would say we are about fifteen hundred feet below the surface now.' Marcus thought.

It was certainly pretty deep, but he imagined that this was done to prevent anyone from finding the place and so that it was well below the ocean to prevent possible flooding.

Swiftly the two of them checked around the bottom of the shaft to make sure all was safe, and when they were certain that it was Marcus pashed through the doors that would normally open for the elevator when it descended.

On the other side he was surprised to find a long and wide tunnel that had what looked like rail tracks. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

'I guess we are still far from the main base. I imagine that they must use some sort of vehicle to transport all those supplies since everything is already long gone.'

At the very least Marcus discovered that there were no guards or people of any kind, and after disabling the few security enhancements in the area he opened the door for Mrazivy.

Yet as she passed through the doors Marcus noticed a sullen look on her face.

It was clear that she was a bit upset about not having anything to really do and that she was holding Marcus back.

If he was on his own, he would not have to worry about disabling so many enchantments and could scout the place much easier.

Still, he just smiled at her and made a fist with one hand and smacked it into the other.

He was telling her that if it came down to a fight he would feel much better to have her with him and that going slower was a small price to pay.

Thankfully this brightened Mrazivy's mood quite a bit and she returned his smile.

Taking flight the two of them sped down the tunnel with Marcus remaining in the lead in his ghost form.

This way he could already Mrazivy if there were any homunculi or other entities ahead.

Eventually the long tunnel came out into a massive room that gave Marcus and Mrazivy pause.

All around them were very unusual things that neither of them had ever seen before. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

'Sometimes I really wonder if this world is really a normal fantasy world and not one that is a hidden science fantasy.' Marcus thought as he looked around.

Along the walls of the room they had entered were numerous glass capsules filled with liquid where homunculi were being grown.

Some of them were nearly fully grown adults while other capsules simply contained all manner of ingredients that had not formed into a recognizable body yet.

In the center of the room there was a large mana furnace that had what looked like a monitor attached to it.

Moving out from the furnace where a number of pathways carved into eh ground that were made purely of an alloy of celestial platinum and mithril that was feeding mana into the pods.

Truly it looked more like something Marcus expected to see from a show that's title began with star, than a world of magic like Mirrion.

There was also another unsettling development in the massive capsule room and that was the workers.

Instead of more homunculi, everything moving in the room was a manner of undead.

None of them were practically high level or complicated, and all of them were moving with fairly robotic movements.

Nevertheless, is was a bit of an unsettling sight to watch dozens of humanoid skeletons moving around the place.

'This makes it clear though, the entity that created this place is not only adept at creating new life through homunculi, but also manipulating the dead.'

Seeing all the undead moving about, Marcus began remembering his last experience dealing with a necromancer and grimaced.

At that time, he had only been on Mirrion for a couple of months and barely knew much of anything.

It was the first time he had also fought a demon and the undead, and was certainly not something he looked back on fondly.
