The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Nultharia [2]
***

Amelia stood in front of the pond with Arthur and Athena.

She was currently trying to look deep inside where Amon had plunged into.

But unfortunately, the thickness of the sea made it impossible for her to look past the surface.

It had been over 3 hours now with only 1 hour left for Amon to succeed.

Some students had already formed their familiars and had left the area.

She looked at Arthur and Athena.

If she was right, then the time for it had already passed by.

But then again, changes could have happened in the time.

Arthur looked back at her.

“I want him to succeed but if 1 hour passes by, then I can do nothing.” He said.

Athena spoke up.

“You are gonna pull him out as soon as 4 hours pass by?” She asked and he nodded.

Amelia quickly spoke up.

“He’s gonna die if you do that. He’s too deep in now, just let him com-”

“No.”

Amelia emphasized the first part to him again.

“He’s. Gonna. Die-”

“Exactly, what I said. No.”

Amelia tilted her head in confusion.

“No, he won’t die.”

Athena and she both looked at him with a surprised look.

“But you ju-”

“The Amon I know wouldn’t fail.” He said with a scheming light smile.

Amelia looked at him for a second before breaking into light laughter.

“You have always been like this. But true, I have hopes for him as much as you do.”

Arthur smiled.

“Of course. That boy is like me after all.”

Athena rolled her eyes.

“And from where are you so sure that he won’t die?” She asked and Arthur winked.

“Source: trust me bro.”

Elizabeth sat on the ground, her clothes drenched in sweat.

But she had a smile on her face.

She had succeeded.

Her familiar.

It was here.

A tier 7 familiar.

She looked behind her and there it was.

A gigantic dragon that spanned over a large area around her.

Its whole body was adorned with jagged scales of midnight black and various shades of blue.

Its expansive bat-like wings stretched out in the area, displaying a gradient from a dark blue at the edges to a lighter icy blue near the body.

It’s piercing vertical slits glowed with a shade of electric blue.

Sharp silvery white claws protruded from its arms and legs while two magnificent white horns protruded from its head.

It was Elizabeth’s familiar. A dragon.

It was a male and his name was Borealith. Familiars already had their own consciousness and name.

But mostly, their personality and nature were based off their master’s personality considering they were an offspring of their mana.

As her silver eyes locked with their blue ones, she suddenly saw him move.

It had been sleeping till now since it had just been born.

It rubbed his scaly head affectionately against Elizabeth’s arm.

Elizabeth smiled tiredly and leaned back against its body.

She patted its scaly head.

It was truly similar to her.

Just an hour ago, it was emitting such an oppressive aura that made everyone unable to come near her.

But he was soft to her and her friends.

Speaking of her friends…

Elizabeth looked around.

Right now, only they were left on the grounds.

Elizabeth, Charlotte, Alya, Michael, and Ren.

Liliana had already left with her familiar.

And it wasn’t that they had failed their ceremony or had yet to summon one.

It was because they were waiting for someone.

Her gaze moved to the pond in the far distance.

That someone was Amon as they all patiently waited to see what would happen.

She couldn’t see the top surface of the pond anymore from this distance.

She didn’t know what happened but after she opened her eyes, the mana sea had drained.

Whether by a certain amount or fully she didn’t know.

All of them were too weak to currently stand.

Elizabeth looked at the pond with a worried gaze.

There was only one hour left.

Various thoughts passed through her head, all being negative.

For some reason, when it came to Amon, she was always pessimistic.

Maybe it was because of the constant dangers he was getting himself into and how insane he was.

Who would have thought that not only would he walk the whole distance, but also lunge into the pond?

Borealith comforted Elizabeth with its tail but she couldn’t help but keep looking.

She wanted to ask Amelia who was standing in the far distance but refrained from doing so.

She didn’t like her. At all.

‘Would Am-‘

Suddenly, the ground started to rumble.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

It rumbled with such intensity that it instantly turned into an earthquake.

Elizabeth and everyone weakly stood up with the support of their familiars who now stood up alert as well.

The whole ground quaked as they struggled to maintain their balance.

Fortunately, they were quickly saved by Arthur’s shadows as they made them stick to one place.

But even then…

Elizabeth’s head sharply turned to Borealith as she noticed something odd.

And it was her hand. It was shaking.

But then, she noticed.

It wasn’t her hand.

Her face turned up to the electric blue eyes of the beast that were now peering off in the distance.

Borealith…

A behemoth-sized dragon…

Was shaking.

Shaking in fear.

Elizabeth’s head turned around and a look of shock came on her face.

Not just Borealith…

But every familiar in the ground was currently shaking in fear.

Elizabeth followed the trajectory of their eyes…

And it landed straight on the pond in which Amon was currently in.

Immediately, the ground around the pond broke into tiny pieces as a silhouette, several times larger than even Borealith, shot into the sky.

And in the next instant, landed on the ground right in front of the pond, which now resembled a large crater.

Elizabeth’s eyes widened in shock.

Humungous.

That was the only thing that could come to Elizabeth’s mind as she stared at its body.

Borealith, who was the largest familiar among the ones in her friends, looked like a child in front of it.

With a black and grey primordial-looking elongated body, the familiar seemed to drip and dissolve at every moment in a purple and black mist.

With a long neck, it’s two glowing purple vertical slits stared at everyone present in the area.

From its dragon-like head, protruded large branching antlers that stretched in the air in a beautiful pattern.

Its neck and tail were covered in shaggy fur that kept transitioning from purple to black, resembling a flame.

Its skeletal long legs were thin and ferocious, ending in sharp silver claws.

The creature’s whole form appeared to be fluid and unstable as if constantly transitioning from mist to shadow.

The shivering of Borealith grew to new heights as the beast stared at it.

No.

Everyone’s did.

But what made Elizabeth even more shocked was the person who jumped down on the ground from the beast’s back.

With disheveled long hair, he was wearing a black overcoat that was torn at its edges now.

His black eyes stared forward stoically, without any expression.

He stepped forward, taking a step.

And as soon as he did, Elizabeth saw her familiar move.

It lowered its body.

Everyone’s familiar did.

Then he took another step towards Arthur.

And Borealith and the familiars lowered their body further.

And with each step, they lowered themselves more and more until…

Amon stepped in front of Arthur and extended his hand.

At the same time, every familiar on the ground lowered themselves to their knees.

And…

Bowed to Amon.

Elizabeth looked in surprise at what was happening around her, confusion filling in her heart.

But it was then that she eventually realized it.

Her eyes locked with the purple slits of the ferocious familiar in the distance.

The beasts…

They were not bowing because of Amon.

They were bowing because of his familiar.

Because if one thing was certain to her by staring in its eyes.

It was that his familiar was in a league of its own.

Something far above their familiars. Matter of fact, every familiar here could team up against that.

And they would lose.

Brutally at that.
