Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 183

Chapter 183: The Tree of Blood! Part-2.
Above the sea.

‘D-dragon you say!?’ (Liam)

[Yes, I definitely sensed the presence of a dragon… moreover, it hasn’t attacked us, which means it’s inviting us…] (Ellie)

[But this is strange, usually, dragons end up fighting with each other whenever they come across their kin in the wild… but it hasn’t attacked us…] (Ellie)

[It’s as if it knows about us beforehand…] (Ellie)

[Ah, well it’s that berserk guy who went missing, Elisia…] (Kai)

Just when Ellie was talking to Liam using her own telepathy, Kai interfered with her telepathy and took control of it in his own hands.

He immediately spread the connection to everyone, now everyone could communicate using telepathy.

Ellie was more than surprised when she suddenly detected Kai’s presence. (Until now he had been hiding his presence whenever Ellie was nearby…. Thus even she didn’t know about him being there…)

[What are you doing here!? Divine Spirit’s general!] (Ellie)

In a matter of mere seconds, Ellie changed her form to a humanoid one, she cast a shadow magic and covered Liam in shadows. She hurriedly took a defensive stance and guarded Liam behind herself.

[Oi, everyone will fall if you transform like that… sigh~] (Kai)

[Divine spirit’s magic: Floating Wind!]

Kai used his own magic to keep everyone else from falling and immediately stabilized everyone in the air.

His small cat-like body appeared on Lia’s shoulder and his eyes stared at Ellie with great wisdom hidden in them.

While everyone was still confused by this sudden turn of events, the water underneath them all started to divide on its own.

The sea itself was telling them to follow this path, it seemed.

In just a few seconds the situation had become extremely chaotic.

…

Lia glared at Kai with a confused look on her face.

‘Kai, what’s going on?’ (Lia)

[Uh, it’s a long story, for now, you just need to know that we are actually old friend-] (Kai)

Before Kai could finish his words, Ellie shouted angrily.

[How dare you say that we are friends!? You f*cking killed all of my siblings! And you still have the nerve to say that!?] (Ellie)

[Uh, look that was several centuries ago, and at that time my master asked me to do that, you can’t blame me for following orders-] (Kai)

[Although we dragons don’t care much about interpersonal relations like humans, but that doesn’t mean I will keep my guard down against someone who literally killed my kin without batting an eye!] (Ellie)

Ellie glanced at Liam and said in a worried tone.

[Master, we need to get out of this place right now… The current me can’t protect you from that spirit general… he’s a bloodthirsty murderer who has killed more than a hundred dragons! We should retreat right this moment!] (Ellie)

[Sigh~ I knew this would happen, that’s why I was hiding my presence… tch! That d*mn Tomar sullied my reputation!] (Kai)

“Uh, you two calm down for a moment, let’s talk first-” (Liam)

Before Liam could finish his words another voice appeared in everyone’s minds via telepathy.

[Divine General Kawaki, uh, I don’t think I have offended you in any way, why have you come here then?] (???)

That voice seems to belong to the dragon that was resting below the ocean. The voice sounded old and carried a hint of worry in it.

That voice addressed Kai with respect. Two dragons already acknowledged Kai just now and that alone proved how infamous Kai’s name was among the dragons.

[Ugh… believe me guys! I didn’t come here to cause trouble at all!] (Kai)

While Kai was lamenting his bad reputation causing problems for him, Rio and everyone else looked at each other with a confused look.

“Uh, Ellie how about we go to that cave and solve this issue peacefully… by you know talking it out!” (Liam)

Liam didn’t want to get Ellie injured, he didn’t want a fight to break out among these colossal beasts right now.

If all three of them started fighting right here, it will not only affect all the students but also it will cause trouble for the people in the city.

[Yeah, that kiddo is right… Hey I am coming over to your place!] (Kai)

[Well… okay I guess…. I have no other choice right now…] (???)

Ellie also nodded her head and decided to calm down for now.

‘I can’t sense that immense killing intent he used to have in those times, but I still must stay vigilant, he seems to have lost most of his power… but I can’t underestimate someone who used to eat dragons for breakfast…’ (Ellie)

Turns out, Kai’s reputation among the dragons was so bad that there are rumors going around that Kai used to eat dragon’s meat for breakfast.

…

Kai used his divine magic and guided all the students along with him to the underwater cave.

Ellie and Liam followed behind them while maintaining a safe distance.

The underwater cave had a very small entrance, it was only suitable for human-sized creatures to enter, there was no way a massive dragon could enter it through this small entrance.

Once they all entered the cave, the seawater flowed again and returned to normal.

Riya glanced at the cave’s entrance with a look of curiosity in her eyes.

“Whoa, the water stopped around the entrance and didn’t enter the cave at all, even the insides of this cave look so dry, I almost mistook it for a normal cave above ground from how it looked from the inside!” (Riya)

Link nodded his head and replied.

“Hmm, this shows that the dragon who lives here has a very good control over water elements…” (Link)

[Well that little guy is a ‘Water Dragon’, obviously his control over the water Element will be high…] (Kai)

“Hmm, little guy you say? You are older than him?” (Lia)

[Yeah, you can say so…] (Kai)

Hearing Kai’s words, Ellie who had turned into her humanoid form clicked her tongue and replied in a disgusted tone.

“Tch! How long are you going to deceive Lia, divine spirits have no such ‘concept’ of birth or death, you old fellow clearly is as old as the human race itself…” (Ellie)

[I-I am not that old… Hey, Kiddo don’t listen to her ramblings she is trying to sully my divine name…] (Kai)

“Tch! Shameless old thing…” (Ellie)

Ellie shook her head and Led the way forward for Liam. She stopped talking to Kai as she didn’t want to talk to him any further.

Link glanced at Kai and asked in a low voice.

“You used to hunt dragons for fun, right? Can you tell me what are the best places to look for if you want to hunt a dragon…” (Link)

Hearing Link’s question, Kai rolled his eyes in disbelief. He had already seen how much of a muscle head Link was, but to think he would come to him to ask about where to find dragons for hunting was quite shocking for even Kai.

[Uh, you just need to look for places that have an extremely high concentration of mana, then you need to shout this: ‘Dragons are just big fat lizards!!’…] (Kai)

[If there really was a dragon at that place, it would come rushing at you head-on after hearing those few words…] (Kai)

“Oho! That’s quite a good technique, I see!” (Link)

[Well, dragons also think of humans as ‘Pathetic worms’, so there’s no need to hold back against them either… in fact, I know a thousand different methods to ‘taunt’ a dragon…] (Kai)

[Even the most calm-natured dragon will be infuriated if you say ‘Dragons eat sh*t!’ at their face… hehe, it’s an old and effective technique-] (Kai)

“Will you shut the f*ck up! Tch!” (Ellie)

[Cough! Ahem, don’t mind me, it’s an old habit … cough!] (Kai)

(All organisms in the world inhale and exhale mana when they breathe, and since the dragons eat mana as food, technically they are eating the mana exhaled by others…..)

…

After walking for a few minutes everyone arrived at the innermost area of the underwater cave.

The corridor to the core area was narrow but this innermost area was extremely vast.

It seems that someone has expanded this area using space manipulation devices.

Thousands of bookshelves stood near the walls and hundreds of magic scrolls were scattered around all over the ground.

“Uh, the place is a bit messy, I hope you all don’t mind it much…” (???)

A middle-aged man sat on one of the five large couches in the middle of the huge hall.

He had light blue curly hair and blue serpentine eyes.

The man stretched his hand and invited everyone to sit.

Without hesitation, all of them walked towards the couches and sat down with a curious look on their faces.

The man glanced at Ellie and said in a surprised tone.

“Oh, so you have been summoned again, Elisia… but this is the first time I have seen you actually following someone… you always used to decline the contract…” (???)

“Ah, pardon me, let me introduce myself first, I am Aaron Shinaya un Mirage, I am a water dragon, you can call me Aaron…” (Aaron)

Ellie also nodded her head.

“It’s been a while, Aaron…” (Ellie)

Kai also nodded his head and said in a nostalgic tone.

[Indeed it’s been a while, last time I saw you, you were still just a young fledgling…] (Kai)

Hearing Kai’s voice, a frown appeared on Aaron’s face:

“And you attacked me the very moment you saw me…. You directly ripped my legs apart….” (Aaron)

[Ahem! That cough! Cough!] (Kai)

Kai dodged Aaron’s eyes and ignored his sarcasm as he cursed at his past self in his mind.

‘Just how many of them did I eat!?’ (Kai)

…
