Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 31

Chapter 31: New year (Part-3)- End!
‘I just have to kite him for two more minutes…’

With this thought in his mind, Rio continued to dodge all the different types of attacks Link unleashed.

Although it looked as if Rio wasn’t putting much effort in, actually, he was putting effort in dodging Link’s blow, or maybe not… cough! Cough!

Two minutes may seem a small time period but right now Rio felt that time was moving rather slowly.

Suddenly, Rio remembered a great person’s golden words from his previous life:

{When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it’s only been a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it’s been two hours.} (Source: Said by Albert Einstein)

‘I can feel why it was said, tch…’

Looking at the wrist watch, Rio sighed, To him, it seemed as if he had been kiting Link for so long, yet there’s still time left.

He put this thought at the back of his mind and then continued to focus on the battle.

[35 seconds… 32 seconds… 31 seconds… 30 seconds]

Suddenly Link stopped abruptly and backed off from Rio by jumping away.

He moved his hand in a strange motion as if he were preparing for something, and Rio instantly felt that the situation was not right.

He also backed off and took a defensive style; ready to counter any incoming attack.

As the movement of Link’s hands stopped, the mana in the surrounding area became turbulent and started to rush madly towards his hand, concentrating at his palm and forming a formidable pressure around Link.

Rio had suddenly felt a bit nostalgic seeing this situation:

‘Why does this moment feel very similar to the protagonist’s preparing for their final attack in order to kill an unbeatable villain, catching the villain off-guard?’

Just as Rio was thinking this, Link finally prepared his attack; his insanity has reached its limit now and Rio knew that Link will definitely come back to his senses after he unleashes this final blow.

Its a do or die now.

‘Okay, then let’s end this now. Sigh~’

[Concentration!]

[Body strengthening!]

[Lightening Sword!]

[Sword Aura: Strengthened Sword!]

Rio continuously buffed himself and finally decided to give his all in this attack; he knew that the next attack of Link couldn’t be taken as a joke.

With all the buffs on his body, his mana concentration in the body increased, his sword started to shine with condensed moonlight, and his muscles tightened up to the extreme.

Thinking a bit more, Rio decided to take the initiative this time.

‘Here I come!’

[Elemental sword Arts: Moon Type: Extreme Full Moon!]

The sword moved with extreme precision and speed.

The moonlight made a dazzling arc in the air, yet the power contained in this one strike was even more lethal than how beautiful it looked.

In an instant, Rio’s sword was right in front of Link’s face.

Link wasn’t called the most talented individual in the novel for no reason either; he immediately reacted, and his punch directly collided with Rio’s sword.

[Dragon Arts: Heaven’s Equal: Fist of the Dragon Sage!]

The two forces collided, the ground cracked even further, leaving deep cracks all over the place; a huge shock-wave was produced from the collision and the nearby buildings, which were still intact, finally collapsed too.

Broken debris flew everywhere like crazy!

…

(Forgotten Memory)

“Hey! You are so slow in climbing; hurry up, Link!”

“Yeah, yeah, I am climbing; wait a bit…”

Riya pouted her cute face and looked at Link with a teasing smile.

“Heh, the great and almighty Link can’t even climb a tree; such a cowardly cat you are, hahaha!”

“I am not a coward! Just you wait! I will catch you!”

“Oh! Then why don’t you climb up faster! Mister great Link!”

Hearing her teasing words, Link hurriedly climbed the tree so that he could give this naughty girl a good punishment.

Seeing that Link was finally coming up, Riya also started to climb more upwards.

“Hey! You shouldn’t go that high up; you may fall; come back down immediately!”

“Heh, are you scared? Then see how I climb this tree; you should learn from me.”

Ignoring Link, Riya continued to climb the tree, and eventually she reached the second highest branch, but the distance between the second branch and the first branch was quite big.

Seeing this Link tried to convince Riya to not try something dangerous, yet Riya ignored him again and directly jumped at the highest branch.

In the end, she barely and unsteadily made it to that branch, looking around; all the things below looked so small; she could see the setting sun on the horizon even more clearly; she could see that this grassland was so big that she could only see grass all around them.

The only exception was the huge villa situated nearby; the villa belongs to Link’s family.

Just as Riya was busy looking at the surroundings, she didn’t even notice that the branch on which she was had started to crack a bit.

But Link had long noticed it, so he tried to alert Riya:

“Riya! Be caref-”

But before he could do so, the branch directly broke, and Riya fell from that place.

…

“I WILL DEFINITELY PROTECT HER!!!! RRRRaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Hearing that scream, Rio felt frustrated in his mind.

‘Oh! Come on! Come back to your senses already!’

Both Link and Rio pushed each other with more strength and mana, yet none of them moved even a single centimeter back from their place; they were now in a stalemate.

Until it broke up in an instant.

*Slash* *Bang*

Two high-pitched sounds rang out, and the mana in the area finally calmed down.

Everything returned to silence instantly, as if the previous loud noises of battle never existed in the first place at all.

Looking closely, you can see that both Rio and Link have moved from their original location to a few steps forward, and now both of their faces are directly opposite each other while their backs are facing towards each other.

But none of them move for a few seconds and remained in the same position for a bit, then they both collapsed down directly on the ground.

“Ugh…my hands… it hurts, What the f*ck is going on?”

Link’s both hands were now bleeding like crazy, and they looked as if they had been cut by several blades.

There were several wounds on both of his hands, while one wound on his right hand was the biggest and most terrifying.

It was a cut mark extending from his wrist to the shoulder; with such a long cut, ordinary individuals would have died from this wound due to excessive blood.

This wound was created by the last attack of Rio’s sword. (Obviously Rio struck on his hand on purpose; otherwise, he could have struck his heart if he wanted to.)

Rio wasn’t faring too well either; his hands were also bloody and his palms were shaking like crazy right now as he had to face the brunt of such insane strength head on.

Rio looked at the sword lying on the left side of him and found that it had several cracks on it now.

Although Rio had attacked with all his strength, he was not exhausted yet; he immediately got up and picked his sword.

But his sword directly broke apart and crumbled into pieces, leaving a broken blade.

Seeing this scene, Rio sighed and shook his head.

‘As expected, an ordinary weapon can’t withstand my true strength; I will have to look for something better after I finish this mess, sigh~’

Even though Link has been fighting like a madman and is now totally exhausted, he is still able to remain conscious for a few seconds. He looked at the unknown guy who had helped him calm down with a smile on his face.

Link wasn’t a fool; after he came to his senses, he immediately understood that this unknown guy could have wounded him more if he wanted, but he didn’t.

“What’s your name?”

Rio glanced behind and was surprised for a moment that this guy was still conscious.

‘Such talent, as expected of this guy. I acknowledge it; you are the best, Link Rex.’

“I am Rio Flash, a fellow classmate and a humble swordsman… just passing by, no big deal.”

After saying that, Rio’s figure blurred, and he immediately disappeared from the spot. Link wanted to stop him, but his vision suddenly darkened, and he fell unconscious.

Rio suddenly appeared again; this time he picked up Link and walked to the place where Link killed Yug.

After Rio placed Link near that dead body, he hurriedly destroyed all the evidence of his and Link’s fight.

‘Hopefully, this should help me in not getting detected. I should leave now; professors should be coming in a few minutes.’

Rio immediately left the place with the fastest speed possible.

And as he had expected, after a few minutes, Anna was the first one to come. Her face was rather cold, and she had an irritated look on it.

After seeing all the mess in front of her, her face darkened even more.

After her, several more professors also arrived at the spot and started to help in evacuation and rescue work.

Several staff members and guards also arrived at the location one after one.

Seeing the sheer amount of damage to the buildings and area that has been done, it can be seen that a huge fight has taken place.

Corpses of several individuals wearing black clothes were scattered everywhere.

Not to mention looking at the body near Link, which was clearly reduced to a meat paste; it was really a devastating scene that could make anyone puke.

‘What a mess, tsk…’

…

Somewhere hidden in the academy, A man hiding his face walked in a broken and dilapidated small house.

After entering a secluded place, he brought out a peculiar device from his clothes.

He channeled his mana into that device, and the device started to show complicated codes on its screen.

The man seemed to be in a hurry; he immediately typed something in codes on the device with a panicked expression, and after that, he immediately broke the device into pieces and put the broken pieces in his storage ring.

‘I have already informed the higher-ups that the plan has failed and even Yug has been killed. Now I should leave this place as fast as possible; otherwise… ‘

Just as he was thinking of leaving, suddenly he felt a pain in his chest Looking down, there was a huge hole and his heart was pierced directly.

The man died just like that.

A certain black-haired boy appeared on the spot and snatched the ring from him.

‘Hmm, oho, as I thought, this guy has a lot of money… hehehehe…’
