Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: A Broken Skill and A Forgotten Wish… Part-3.
Inner Area, the Ancient Battlefield.

*GRRORRRRR!* (‘This is what you deserve demon scum!’)

The undead shouted at the sky at the top of its lungs to show his victory, it seemed to have taken Rio as an easy target from the start.

…

‘Ugh… feels kind of weird…’ (Rio)

Rio pushed the rubble aside and slowly got up from the ground, he clenched his stomach and he felt weird.

His internal organs were damaged but he couldn’t feel any pain at all, all he felt was weird unevenness in his body. (He surely has been injured but he can’t feel pain due to his emotional misbalances…)

Rio wiped the blood from his mouth with the sleeves of his right hand and stared at the undead roaring at the sky.

‘I might actually die…’ (Rio)

Sensing Rio getting up, the undead lowered its head and stopped roaring at the sky.

It tilted its head in confusion for a few seconds. It wasn’t expecting Rio to be able to get up after such a heavy hit.

After a few seconds of stillness, the undead directly launched towards Rio like a cannonball.

Its heavy punch was directly aimed at Rio’s head, but Rio tilted his head and dodged it by a slight distance.

A slight smile appeared on Rio’s face.

‘I have already adapted to your movements now…’ (Rio)

Rio turned his sword into a pointed sword, like Lia’s, and directly stabbed the undead in the waist.

[Elemental Sword Art: Fire type: Fiery touch!]

Rio thrust his sword with intense black flames and directly made a huge hole in the waist of the undead. The whole armor was blown away in that area.

The impact pushed the undead back a little bit and Rio took this chance, his sword changed its ‘form’ again and turned into a katana.

[Sword Intent!]

With condensed sword intent covering his sword Rio swiftly swung his sword upwards.

The undead was caught off-guard and its whole left chest was sliced apart by Rio. Its left arm fell on the ground and its internal organs started to spill out of the body.

But the undead didn’t care about its condition, it directly stomped the ground with all its strength and made Rio’s footing unstable and with its right hand, it punched towards Rio with explosive force.

[Handling!]

Rio deflected the punch easily and hopped out of the attack trajectory.

[Sword Intent: Wind Type!]

Rio jumped on his sword and directly flew into the air, he wanted to make some distance and carry out some long-distance attacks to buy time.

But the undead was persistent, it directly jumped towards Rio with explosive force and kicked with insane force.

Rio had no choice but to defend himself and cancel his sword intent.

[Handling!]

After deflecting the attack, Rio started to fall due to gravity and once again rode his sword to stop himself from falling down.

‘I will have to retrieve the rings first… otherwise, I can’t win this battle…’ (Rio)

Rio’s space ring and shadow robe ring, both were on his sliced left wrist, due to which he wasn’t able to use his space ring and thus he had no healing potions on him right now.

Rio hurriedly rushed towards his sliced hand which was lying on the ground.

But since the undead was an S-ranker before obviously, it could easily walk on air too, with a sudden sonic boom, the undead rushed towards Rio and aimed its punch at Rio’s already injured stomach.

Rio was surprised to see that it was still able to use the unique authority of an S-ranker even though it had fallen in rank.

‘This thing is too broken…’ (Rio)

Rio made his sword’s flight altitude low all of a sudden and the undead’s punch passed over him without doing any damage, yet the air pressure alone split the clouds in the sky in two.

‘This thing is stronger than Link in pure strength, it has strong defenses and can still use the unique authority of walking in the air which only S-rankers can use…’ (Rio)

Rio knew that he had gotten himself into a troublesome situation right now.

‘It seems this dungeon was never meant to be cleared by Fade in the first place…. In fact, now I know why Fade was made to retreat from this dungeon in the original novel…’ (Rio)

‘It must have been the heavenly luck trying to protect Fade from entering and getting killed by the strong monsters of this insane dungeon….’ (Rio)

Although Rio had found out the truth behind it all, he didn’t blame himself for coming here at all. He knew from the very first day he started stealing Fade’s chances, he was bound to attract some of the trouble his way.

‘But an extra have no other choice anyway…’ (Rio)

Rio shook his head cleared his mind and directly rushed towards the ground.

Just when Rio was only a few centimeters away from picking the rings, the undead’s again caused a sonic boom in the air and rushed towards Rio extremely fast.

Rio had no choice but to retreat his hand back and give up on picking the rings otherwise, the undead would have broken his right arm too.

When Rio ducked back, the undead’s punch landed on the ground and a huge crater was formed instantly, the rubble flew away far and wide, and this caused Rio’s sliced hand to be buried under rubble too.

‘Tch… this thing is too intelligent…’ (Rio)

Rio could feel it, this undead may have only half of its head left intact, but it still could sense that it shouldn’t let Rio have those rings back.

‘The residual will inside this undead must have belonged to a very strong individual I think…’ (Rio)

Rio was right, the undead was the great army general of the Dark Elves when he was alive, and he was the strongest S-ranker of the Dark Elf race and used to serve the king of the Dark Elves with total loyalty. (Dark Elfs had no SS-rankers…)

Rio landed on the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood on the ground, he wiped the blood from his face and stared at the next move of the undead.

(His internal organs are heavily damaged and he is suffering from severe internal bleeding, the only reason he is still alive is that he has exceptional body strengthening capabilities and his mana control is regulating his blood flow…)

All of a sudden Rio felt his eyes blur for a second and the undead seem to have directly teleported right in front of him.

‘Sh*t! Now it can even use movement arts!…’ (Rio)

Caught off guard, Rio was hit by the punch directly in the chest, he felt his heart stop beating and his ribs fractured instantly. Rio flew away like an arrow, his grip on his sword loosened instantly and his body fell into the huge pile of corpses nearby.

Rio’s sword fell from his hand and fell to the ground.

Rio’s eyes blurred as he looked at the sky, he could barely hear the loud footsteps of the undead heading towards him, and the undead seemed to be dragging its big axe on the ground.

‘It seems to have used the demonic heal technique again….’ (Rio)

Rio couldn’t feel any pain in his body, but he instinctively knew that his body was now in a very bad condition.

‘One ear missing, all ribs broken, heart stopped, internal organs damaged and the left hand sliced… there’s no healing potion, my consciousness is blurring slowly and I am almost out of hp…’ (Rio)

[Ding! HP is below 5 percent, you are in critical condition!]

[Ding! It is recommended to heal as early as possible, otherwise death is imminent!]

‘It seems my death countdown has already begun….’ (Rio)

Several of Rio’s memories seem to have flashed back in his mind. He could remember all the thrilling adventures he went on and all the time he spent with Lia in this world.

‘I have lived much more in this life than the previous one…’ (Rio)

Rio had lived his last life barely surviving as an orphan and always trying to study and get a stable job, but in this life, he lived every single day to the fullest, he enjoyed the rush of adrenaline when fighting various strong opponents and he liked the time he trained like a maniac.

‘It was fun while it lasted…’ (Rio)

While Rio stayed still on the pile of corpses and his breath continued to slow down little by little, the undead healed its body to full health and dragged its giant axe towards Rio.

After Reaching Rio, the undead raised its giant axe above its shoulders and aimed at Rio’s neck, it wanted to kill Rio in one swift attack.

Rio could barely see the silhouette of the giant axe through his blurred vision at this point.

All of a sudden everything seems to have slowed down greatly. The axe seems to have slowed down in momentum.

‘Is this what it feels like when someone dies?… everything seems to have slowed down, all of a sudden… it’s so calm…’ (Rio)
