An Extra’s POV - Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Ralyks Vs Jer’ard [Pt 2]
Spatial Magic was incredibly rare, and also difficult to master.

Due to its rarity, not too many Spells related to it existed. Even among said Spells, not too many were high-level.

The Skill: Black Hole, fell under the territory of Spatial Magic.

However, since it consumed a lot of Mana, and it was an uncontrollable force that would only stop if the Mana of its caster ran out, it was placed at B-Tier.

[Singularity Point] was the A-Tier version of the Skill, but it was also very difficult to use.

With the S-Tier [Absolute Spatial Magic] Skill, it was possible to make Black Holes.

However, they were just as unstable and impractical as the lower-tier Skills.

There were simply more efficient ways to use Spatial Magic—even for destruction—other than Black Hole.

But…

An exception could be said to exist.

An unstable Black Hole with the immense control of Absolute Spatial Magic, mixed in with the effects of Grand Magic Mastery and Grand Magic Application.

That could birth something new.

An-all consuming void that could be perfectly manipulated to achieve the desired effects, while also effectively managing the Mana supply and absorption rate.

A perfect Black Hole.

But… it was already very rare to have a Spatial Magic Skill.

Adding two A-Tier Magic Skills that were equally as rare made it very unlikely for such an ability to exist.

No one could possibly have all of them.

No one… except Rey!

********

‘I figured using [Black Hole] wouldn’t cut it since it’s just a B-Tier Skill, so I tried using the new Spatial Magic Skill as well…’

Unfortunately for Rey, he had no expertise in Spatial Magic.

He didn’t even know any Spells.

However, with a Magic Skill, you could use it freely without a Spell. It was just much easier and better to have Spells that could achieve specific results more efficiently.

Rey had never tried this before, but he decided to use both Skills at the same time.

[Black Hole] and [Absolute Spatial Magic].

And they worked!

Rey didn’t know if it was the effect of the [Grand Magic Mastery] Skill that he got from Lucielle, or the [Grand Magic Application] Skill that he got from the Half-Elf he saved.

Either way, it was working perfectly.

The dark void that manifested before his hand was deep and hollow.

Everything around it was swallowed, and Rey directed it towards only one thing.

The dark spatial orb that descended and threatened to wipe everything out.

That was the target.

~VWUUUUUM!~

The void ascended, humming with intensity, as it clashed with the deep purple ball of energy.

It was no competition at all.

In mere seconds, the spatial orb was consumed by the darkness that Rey created, completely vanishing from existence.

And once that was done, Rey closed his palm to form a fist.

The result was expected.

~FUUUUUU!~

The Black Hole imploded, consuming itself until it turned into nothingness.

Once it was done, there was nothing but sparkles of blackness and purple radiating about.

‘That was a close one.’ Rey sighed in relief as he looked at the clearly shocked face of the Dragon.

It was difficult to fully decipher the expression of a Dragon, since it was a large beast with scales all over, but there was no way anyone could miss this.

It was obvious.

The devastated reaction of the Dragon was too raw for anyone to ignore.

‘I guess I just have to end this now.’

The only reason Rey was dragging the battle out was because he wanted Jer’ard to use the remainder of his Skills.

So far, Rey was sure he had seen [Greater Mana Recovery], [Greater Regeneration], [Draconic Breath:Dark], and [Draconic Flight].

He had also displayed his [Absolute Spatial Magic], but Rey already had it so there was no point.

‘I’m not sure if he has used [Draconic Power] and [Draconic Resistance] yet, but he definitely hasn’t used his [Claw Attack] yet.’

Rey presumed it was a Low-Tier Skill, so the guy probably didn’t see any use in utilizing it.

There was also some distance between them, so maybe the Skill also had some ‘range’ issues.

‘It might not be that great, so I shouldn’t get too greedy.’

Rey also felt like it was about time to wrap things up, considering the people he came to rescue needed help, and he also promised to save them before dawn.

‘As much as I’d like to drag things out, it’s best to just end things quickly.’

“Alright then…” As Rey brandished his blade, he shot the Dragon a terrifying glare.

Much to his surprise, the creature was preparing another powerful ‘Breath’ attack.

Of course, Rey knew it was useless against him, but he was confused as to why it was acting so illogically.

‘I guess Dragons aren’t as smart as I thought.’

Rey decided to humor the beast by giving it one more chance to attack.

He could use a variety of Skills to defend, deflect, and then counter.

Thus, Rey clenched his blade tight and prepared to strike.

“… Time to end this fi—”

~BOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!~

‘H-huh…?’ Rey felt his eyes widen in shock as he noticed where the Dragon pointed the blast at.

It wasn’t towards him, or the people he came to save.

It was upwards; towards the ceiling!

And then—before Rey could even say a word—the massive thing sprang into the giant hole it created and sped away.

‘Hold on… is he trying to escape?!’

It took Rey about a second to process, but he quickly realized that it had to be the case.

‘He must already be out of Mana, and he’s probably realized he can’t beat me.’

The fact that the creature flew off, instead of teleporting, showed just how desperate he was.

‘He doesn’t have enough juice, eh? I see how it is…’

Rey felt a small smile curling up in his face.

He knew he had to hurry, though.

‘But first…’ He turned at Adonis and the rest of the rescue team.

His gaze fell on Brutus too.

“You guys, here.” Rey used his [Gateway Portal] to open a doorway which led to the Royal Estate.

It was so easy—so casual—that it stunned those who saw it in action.

“You should all leave with this. I’m going to chase after the Dragon, okay?”

“…”

For a moment, there was pure silence.

No one could even utter a single word in response to Rey’s instructions.

To them, what they had just witnessed, had to have been the act of a god.

A being that defied the Dragons and every shred of common sense imaginable.

The Adventurer, Ralyks, was a legend.

“Haaa… these guys…” Rey sighed, already feeling his patience wear thin.

He used his Absolute Wind Magic to carry all of them into the portal he made.

Before they could even react, he closed the thing and sighed to himself.

“Haa! Then there’s also the Half-Elf.”

Rey sighed, easily making a portal in front of him in order to return to the 33rd Floor where she was still sleeping.

‘This entire place might soon become a battlefield. I can’t leave her here…’
