The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Familiar Ceremony [2]
***

Amon stepped forward.

And just as his body moved to a new spot, he felt a change.

A tremendous change in the atmosphere around him.

The mana density just tripled to the one where he stood before.

But still…

It wasn’t anywhere to the point Amon would start to feel disturbed.

Releasing a small breath, he stepped forward again.

And again the mana density tripled to that of before.

Another step.

Another change.

And then another step.

Another change again.

He kept doing this for several steps before stopping.

It had started to disturb him now.

As if a thick blanket was weighing him down.

Amon looked back, finding Michael a few steps away from him.

Looking forward, he noticed that he had passed quite a few students behind.

All of them were looking at the duo with surprise-filled gazes.

Or rather…

The trio.

Yes.

Amon also noticed Ren, who was just a few steps behind Michael.

He would have been surprised if it was the first time considering that Ren never cared much about this stuff in the novel.

But ever since he had involved himself in the plot, the friendly rivalry between the three had sparked a flame in Ren.

And it was good.

Amon focused forward, finding Elizabeth and other students belonging to the top 50s ahead of him.

‘Okay.’

It was time now.

Amon manifested some blood from his ring, making everyone’s head turn toward him.

The blood turned into a cylinder that placed him in the middle and covered him from the outsiders.

Everyone looked at Athena and Arthur, waiting to see if they would object.

But they didn’t.

And Amon knew they wouldn’t. There was nothing said against using mana in the rules after all.

After several seconds of looking and finding him doing nothing, they focused back on themselves.

The time was short and they didn’t have time for all these tricks.

And just as they looked back, Amon manifested [Void Extraction].

It was just a theory but…

Since Void Extraction was capable of extracting anything, it might be able to extract the mana from the atmosphere.

And thus…

Lowering the density.

Amon’s pale hands immediately changed into black starless hands that looked like a Void.

He waited with bated breath.

And as he concentrated on pulling the mana on his hands…

His eyes widened.

The mana…

It was disappearing.

He immediately felt the suffocating density around him plummet.

It was working.

A smile spread across Amon’s lips as he stepped forward again.

The mana sucked like a whirlpool toward his hands, making him feel as if the density was nothing.

Of course, he manipulated the element on a minor scale.

It was to both not make the students feel it and also keep his body safe.

The spatial mana in the air would completely shroud his [Void] mana but it was good.

As Amon looked up, Amon saw Arthur and Athena staring at him, wide-eyed.

Of course, he wasn’t able to hide it from them.

Eventually, a grin spread across Arthur’s features as a voice resounded in Amon’s ears.

‘Show me what you got brat.’

Nodding subconsciously, Amon took another step.

And another step.

He wasn’t even facing any disturbance or pressure.

He walked as if it was a walk in the park.

As he walked some steps further, he saw Liliana sitting on the ground, panting.

She was even behind Charlotte.

But it was to be expected.

Even though Liliana was better in terms of mana manipulation and control, Charlotte was still miles better in physical aspects.

It was currently about the pressure on their bodies, not the control.

Liliana was very weak in her physical aspects.

But it was to be expected considering she didn’t even touch the grass, considering it dirty to be in her presence.

When you stay holed up in a castle all day, this type of condition is to be expected.

Amon stared at her coldly as she gave up and was about to get into her meditation pose.

She noticed his gaze and also stared up.

“You filthy bastard…” She spat but before she could say anything else, a splatter of blood landed on her face.

It smeared all over it and also her clothes.

Every student stared at Amon, wide-eyed.

While only Ren cheered in the silence.

“Way to go bro!” He threw his hands in the air.

“Womp womp, cry about it bitch.” He replied and started to walk forward again.

Ren was rubbing on him too much, Amon noticed.

He heard Liliana grit her teeth from behind and immediately launch several wind constructs at him.

They collided with his blood shield, forming some cracks on it.

But just as it cracked, it healed back to its prime instantly as well.

The students watched with gaping mouths at how strong Amon had gotten.

Liliana’s attack…

Couldn’t even break his shield.

“Nice!” Ren commented from behind.

Amon ignored her and walked forward again.

Liliana, feeling humiliated, stood up again and manifested wind around her.

Several grass strands uprooted from the floor and immediately Athena’s voice boomed.

“You can interfere in other’s people progress but damaging the grounds isn’t allowed.” She warned.

Liliana clenched her hands in furiousness, her nails digging into her skin, making blood drip on the grass.

“Just you watch you disgusting wretch…” She cursed in a mumbling tone.

But just as she opened to say something else, something landed straight on her chin.

As she looked below, they were the blood droplets that were being manipulated by Amon.

They had completely soiled her dress.

Liliana, mad in fury but also unable to do anything, barely controlled herself.

Amon however, didn’t give her even a second of attention.

Eventually, even Ren and Michael passed her making her eyes widen at how pathetic it was to be left behind.

The reason why Ren was better than Liliana even taking aside the physical aspects was his element.

It was a fact that whichever element you had, the elemental particles in the air would naturally pull towards you.

Which was why mana breathing was so efficient in the first place.

But for Ren, who didn’t even have a specific element but [Copy], he disobeyed the rule completely.

And since no mana was attracted toward him, he was faring much better than the students who were even stronger than him.

Amon passed Charlotte as well who looked at him with surprise before chuckling and patting him on the back.

Unable to continue anymore, Charlotte also settled down on the grass.

She was joined by Ren moments later who also couldn’t continue anymore.

The only ones who were still walking now were Elizabeth Amon and Michael.

And the pressure was increasing step by step.

Even with [Void Extraction], Amon had started to feel it now.

Looking back at Michael, he saw that the guy was stumbling.

He would also settle down sometime soon as unlike Amon, he didn’t have any good technique to nullify the pressure continuously.

Rather, being the holder of all 4 primordial elements, he was being weighed down the most.

But even then, he would be able to overtake Elizabeth.

Looking forward, Amon took another step, coming side to side with Elizabeth.

She stared at him, panting with clothes drenched in sweat.

“H-how are you completely fine?” She asked.

Amon shrugged.

“Because I’m Amon.” He said. He couldn’t be bothered to think of an answer right now.

He placed a hand on her shoulder and applied some pressure, making her knees buckle.

She slumped on the ground.

“Settle down. Any further, not only would you be in danger, but you would also not look nice.” He said, gesturing to her clothes.

At his words, Elizabeth also looked at herself.

Her cheeks immediately reddened as she saw her state but she was quick to compose herself.

“O-okay.” She nodded, catching her breath.

Amon nodded back.

“Then, I’ll leave.” He said, turning forward again.

“Amon,” Elizabeth called him and he looked back.

She was smiling.

“Good luck.”

Amon looked at her blankly for a few seconds before nodding without any expression.

“Thanks, then I’ll be off.”

Now, only Amon and Michael were left standing.

Michael was several meters behind Amon now while the latter was several meters away from the pond.

The pressure weighed like several 100kgs dumbbells on Amon now.

But he persevered and gritted his teeth.

A step.

Micahel also took a step.

Nobody was watching them right now except Athena and Arthur.

Everyone else were focused on their familiars.

Another step.

Amon’s eyes locked with Athena and Arthur, who looked at him with worried eyes.

They were wondering if he would actually be able to make it.

He had already beaten all the records in the Eldergrove history though.

Same for Michael.

The duo’s pair had been the farthest to come to this date.

But eventually…

Even Michael sat down, several meters ahead of Elizabeth.

Only Amon was left standing now.

Amon gritted his teeth with each step.

The pressure weighed down upon him like crazy.

He bit his tongue to keep himself conscious.

A step.

Another step.

He was close.

He could feel it through his blurred vision.

Another step.

And there, he also saw Amelia appear from behind Arthur.

She looked at him with an expectant gaze, telling him that he could do it.

Another step.

Just 5 meters left-

Amon was taken by surprise as several red threads dug in his back like needles.

Following them, his eyes locked with Amelia who was currently being stared at by Arthur and Athena.

She winked at Amon.

“A little help won’t hurt would it?” She said.

And immediately, Amon lost control of his body as he was pulled towards Amelia, who caught him in her arms and settled him down.

Amon panted deeply, struggling to maintain consciousness.

His brain throbbed and his heart felt as if it was on fire.

He stared at Amelia who smiled and winked at him.

She put a hand on his back.

“Go, there isn’t much time left.” She said.

Amon took a deep breath and nodded.

It was true.

He bore the crazy pressure on his body and looked at the clear translucent pond in front of him.

He was finally here.

Now it should better be worth it.

And in the next moment, Amon dove into the pond.
