Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Heart of Eternal Nirvana.
From the day Mana descended in this world until today, more than two millennia have passed, but a healer capable of awakening the ‘Heart of Eternal Nirvana’ was never born.

Most healers dream of healing their loved ones or saving as many lives as possible.

Even SS-rank healers don’t have the mentality to heal every wound possible.

There are infinite ‘paths’, but only a few are really recognized by the ‘world’ itself.

Riya tapped into that possibility when she realized her ‘path’. She condensed a ‘path’ that was recognized by the world itself and gained the blessing of the world.

Moreover, due to her overwhelming talent and past experiences, in that final moment, Riya realized the real essence of healing.

She realized that healing is not all about regeneration and restoration; she tapped into the very ‘laws’ of recovery and forced the world to recognize her excellence.

‘Heart of Eternal Nirvana’ is a healer’s equivalent skill to ‘Sword intent’ or ‘Dao Rhythm’.

Just like ‘Sword Intent’ and ‘Dao Rhythm’, the ‘Heart of Eternal Nirvana’ condenses the world’s ‘laws’ in the form of ‘phenomena’, thus enhancing the user’s capabilities.

Each legendary skill has the power of a ‘law’ behind it.

‘Sword intent’ has the power to cut through anything and everything once you train it to perfection.

‘Dao Rhythm’ gives a perfect physique to the user; it eliminates all weaknesses and makes the user overwhelmingly strong.

Similarly, ‘Heart of Eternal Nirvana’ puts the user in a ‘peaceful’ and ‘focused’ state; moreover, it lets the user bypass any mana resistance, thus making it possible to heal others without facing mana rejection.

In her pursuit of trying to heal the withered flower, Riya formed the Eternal Heart, and with this heart, she can finally bypass the mana resistance and heal the flower.

Her pain and suffering paid off.

…

[Ding! All conditions met! You have seen through the essence of healing…]

[Ding! You have achieved the legendary rank passive Skill ‘Heart of Eternal Nirvana’…]

[Ding! You have solidified your belief and realized your ‘Path’!]

[Ding! Ascending to Rank A…]

Unaware of the chaos that she created outside, Riya was only focused on herself at that moment.

In the gentle protection of the world, she felt safe and relaxed, as if she had returned to her mother’s embrace.

Condensed mana entered her body and elevated her rank to ‘A’ making her not only physically but mentally stronger.

Her skills ascended, and her aura condensed further.

No matter how many times the purple thunder poured on her, she remained unharmed under the protection of the world.

Eventually the thunder calmed down and the clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing the bright, starry sky.

The two gigantic hands slowly dissipated, and Riya opened her eyes as the mana tornado stopped.

The bright moonlight shined on her face, and her beautiful white hair swayed with the wind, adding another charm to her.

At that moment, Riya had already seen through the law of healing itself; now she has become an exceptional healer with no equals.

Once she grows up, her healing magic will be much stronger than any SS-ranked healer’s magic recorded in history.

…

Seeing that Riya had finally completed her ascension, all the SS-rankers nodded their heads at Ashtel and left one by one.

They knew that this wasn’t the time to be staying here; they could inquire about Riya from Ashtel later.

Seeing that the others had left, Ashtel dove down with Syvis, Jin, and Ryul.

Riya came out of her momentary daze, smiled when she looked at Syvis, and said, in a calm tone,

“Master, I understand it now…. The essence of healing is selfless kindness and care; a healer must heal the injured without binding themselves to mortal desires.”

“Only with true kindness can one have the heart to heal all wounds in the world… this is the true meaning of the law of healing…”

Riya’s words seemed vague and incomprehensible to Syvis and others, as they didn’t have the same level of understanding as Riya.

Riya had already surpassed Syvis in terms of ‘understanding’ the nature of healing; now all she needs is to improve her rank.

Although Syvis couldn’t comprehend the ‘law’ that Riya was talking about, she still nodded her head and replied in a happy tone:

“I originally had low expectations, but I didn’t expect that you would be able to achieve so much in such a short time; I underestimated your resolve…”

Syvis stretched out her hand and patted Riya on the head.

“Good work! You are no longer a ‘lost sheep’; now you are a mighty dragon that has the confidence and courage to stand its ground in front of the whole world…”

“Congratulations! You have earned a place for yourself in this world, ‘World’s Chosen’ Riya Croft… From now on, I will respect you as an equal.”

Getting such a big compliment made Riya feel happy in her mind. She happily accepted that new title and thought that all the pain she suffered in the past week was worth it in the end.

Riya stretched out her hand and brought out a purplish-blue flower from her space ring.

“I have healed this flower to its prime form…”

Syvis took the flower from Riya’s hand and nodded her head.

“This flower is called ‘The Flower of Remembrance’ it’s usually found in places where many people have died… this flower condenses the lingering ‘will’ of the dead and forms a ‘phenomenon’ in its heart…”

Syvis smiled at Riya gently and added,

“If someone pours their mana into it, they can manifest this phenomena, which causes the user to remember a cherished or forgotten memory….”

After explaining everything, Syvis returned the flower to Riya.

“You have healed it to its prime form, so take it as a gift from me… It’s an SS-rank item; it won’t be destroyed easily, so you can grow it in any pot you want…”

Riya nodded her head and happily put the flower back into her space ring.

She accepted the flower as a gift from her master.

Syvis nodded her head and said,

“This is it; I have nothing else left to teach you, Riya; your mastery in healing has gotten the acknowledgement of the world itself, and you have passed my training with flying colours…”

Riya bowed her head a bit and thanked Syvis for all that she had done for her.

Then Syvis waled towards Riya and glanced all around for a moment before twisting Riya’s ear.

“Master! Ouch! It hurts!”

Riya begged for mercy with slight tears in her eyes, but Syvis only smiled creepily and said,

“It took me so many years to create this new garden! You brat directly destroyed all of the precious herbs that I had saved for so many years…”

Riya hurriedly ran away from Syvis to dodge those merciless scoldings from her, and Syvis chased behind her all around like a mother trying to punish a naughty child of hers.

Seeing all this, Ryul and others shook their heads.

“They certainly are a lively bunch… sigh~”

Even Ashtel nodded his head at Ryul’s words.

Ryul then looked at the sky for a moment and said it in a solemn tone.

“Have you noticed it too, Ashtel? What just happened was very strange…”

Ashtel nodded his head at Ryul’s words and replied in return:

“The heavenly punishment and heavenly protection both appeared for the same person… This is very wrong and weird…”

“It’s as if the world is divided into two fronts: one wants to punish those with talents, and one wants to protect…”

Ashtel thought for a moment and then added,

“This shouldn’t have been the case; the world is a single entity after all, and how are two contradictory things happening at the same time…”

Ryul nodded his head at Ashtel and stared at the sky with a solemn look on his face.

“This is a very bad omen… If the will of the heavens itself starts to show flaws like this, the future of this world will be very chaotic… We need to prepare the younger generation for this…”

Ashtel sighed and replied,

“The other SS-rankers likely also noticed this strange phenomenon; they retreated for the moment, but none of them will be at ease either. We need to arrange a temporary meeting tonight… Assemble them all…”

Ryul nodded his head and flew back towards the palace.

Ashtel also shook his head and left with Jin in tow.

Perhaps this event was the one that triggered a massive change in the world and awakened many hidden problems.

Nonetheless, Riya achieved great success and proved her worthiness; she demonstrated that she is qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Link and the others.

On that day, she cast away her immature self and became a real healer.

The long-lost smile returned to her face as she finally found a way to deal with ‘corruption’; now she isn’t as afraid as before.

If the current version of her was at Oaklum, she could have easily purified the corruption.

In other words, now she can finally eat her candy again.
