The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Void Training III [5]
***

Amon’s eyes widened as he finally arrived at the end of the tunnel.

It was completely dark and he had been traveling for over 30 minutes.

But now, he had reached the end.

And what he saw left him shocked to the core.

Right before him was spherical shaped cave.

And the entirety of that cave, was taken over by a thick white webby mess.

The material seemed to be the liquid fluid that excreted from a worms body.

The web was shaped like a throne with it separating into a messy entanglement of threads that headed towards the side of the walls.

But they didn’t stop at the border of the cave.

The walls had large circular pathways that were present in every direction of the cave.

The threads headed into those pathways, heading to a destination that only god knew what it was.

Well, not god.

Gods and goddesses in this world were pretty dumb.

In any case, the astonishing thing about the cave was the creature.

The one sitting at the top of the throne made of threads.

With two emulciated legs that stuck to the web, it had a hard scaled body.

Four sharp long bladed pincers protruded from its numerous claw like teeth.

Its arms were also covered in a hard brown armor, bending at unsual angles.

Two curved blades erupted from where its hands were supposed to be.

In a sense, it seemed to be a combination between a worm and a blade machine of some sort.

There was no doubt in Amon’s mind.

It was definitely the Worm Queen.

And look into the sharp crimson slits that shone from inside the flat plated head, Amon also knew it was awake.

So there was no use hiding his footsteps now.

Amon disabled his [Smokesoul Mirage].

And soon as his feet touched the ground, the queen immediately screeched.

It was so sharp that the rocks in the surroundings burst into splinters and Amon clutched his ears.

The queen had taken it as a battle initiation signal.

‘Shit.’ Amon cursed.

He obviously knew what the cry meant.

The worms…

They were probably rushing back now.

If they returned, then Amon was definitely dead.

At least in this constricted place.

For now, he just had to focus on the queen.

The queen’s feet disconnected from the threads and Amon bent his body.

Any second now…

Sweat trickled down Amon’s face as he exhaled lightly.

And at that moment, the queen suddenly blurred and disappeared from view.

Amon’s eyes widened.

CLICK! CLANG!

Simultaneously, the sound of unsheathing and clashing rang out.

Amon’s danger sense went haywire as he blocked a sharp blade to his neck with his odachi

Sparks rang out as he struggled to contain the blade.

The queen was definitely stronger than him in pure strength.

His odachi was getting pushed back.

Letting go of his odachi, Amon let it drop.

The queen’s blade immediately pushed through.

However a second before it made impact with Amon’s neck.

The latter turned into a wisp of smoke.

The blade passed harmlessly through without any damage.

Stomping his foot on the ground, Amon’s odachi spun from the impact and landed back in his hand.

Coating it with [Void Touch], Amon slashed it at its chest.

The odachi cleanly connected with its chest plate.

CLANG!

However…

It barely made some cracks on the armor.

Amon’s eyes widened.

And that one second of letting his guard down was enough for the queen to fight back.

It headbutted straight into Amon’s face, nocking it straight down.

Crack…Crack

Cracking sounds rang out in the air as Amon felt his vision blur.

The queen wasted no opportunity.

It smashed its knee into Amon’s nose, sending him crashing into the ceiling above.

The queen followed suit as it smashed its whole weight into Amon’s body.

The ceiling broke and they were sent breaking through the floors.

Erupting out of the sand on the other side into the air.

The cold night air worsened the pain that shot up his whole body.

Fortunately, it also helped him snap back into focus.

A second before the queen attacked him again, he used [Voidstep].

Amon appeared right behind it.

Encasing his leg with [Void Touch], Amon landed a straight axe kick on its head.

Crack….Crackk

Multiple cracks appeared on the surface of the queen’s head.

And a ring of air spread out as a shockwave resounded in the area, sending the queen into the ground.

But Amon wasn’t done yet.

He landed on the ground, right beside the queen.

But as he looked into the crater, it wasn’t there anymore.

However, Amon’s gaze was calm.

He had already seen the queen move in the dust.

His glowing purple eyes darted to his back where he saw 6 blades approaching him.

They were threatening to rip him apart.

But instantly threads formed out of his hand, and coiled around the blades and some parts of the queen.

Gritting his teeth, Amon pulled them with full force, not only halting its motion.

But also inflicting some cracks on its blades and body.

As the threads flung its body through the sand, Amon suddenly heard a fleshy sound.

As if something had cut into flesh.

And his eyes widened when he saw dirty green blood in the air, erupting from the queen’s body.

It was then that he realized.

That the queen’s armor was similar to a knight’s armor in medieval times.

And in his past life, he remembered studying somewhere that.

For the easiness in the movements of knights, there were certain spaces in their armor that weren’t covered.

Especially the joints of the body.

And it was the same for the queen’s body.

A plan formulated in Amon’s mind as his eyes turned calculative.

The queen screeched in pain and shot through the dust again at Amon.

Using the dust to his advantage, Amon quietly started laying out threads on the sand.

Simultaneously, he shot forward, clashing his odachi against its blades.

Again, he let go of the odachi knowing there was no chance in a pure strength battle.

But…

He did something else.

Just when the blades were about to reach him, his form blurred and started to spread around.

In a split moment, there were now 2 versions of Amon around the queen.

The queen was thrown into confusion.

Something the Amon took advantage of as one slashed its elbow joint with the odachi, separating one of its arms from it body.

While the other landed a clean punch on its head, right where he had landed the kick before.

The cracks spread more and its armor finally broke up, revealing its inner head.

And Amon didn’t hesitate to grab it.

Immediately, he used [Void’s Influence], overloading its brain with random thoughts.

Its movements blanked out and Amon smashed his knee into its face, smashing it into the ground.

‘Now!’ Amon screamed in his thoughts as both of them pulled.

The framework of threads he had laid out in the sand finally sprung into action as it looped around the queen’s body.

Or more specifically, her joints.

Amon clenched his fists, pulling them with full force as they cut into the queen’s body.

Dirty green blood sprayed in the air with each pull.

But it wasn’t enough.

It was not enough to finish it before the threads broke apart.

Which was why…

Amon finally manifested his third Void skill in a time of need.

An idea rang straight in his mind.

And then…

One of his arms erupted into a torrent of pure amethyst flames.

“[Void Flames]” He spoke as he grabbed the threads once more.

In a dimly lit room, Arthur was seated in his chair.

It was a cleanly furnished room with shelves laden with books that were arranged properly.

The items on the table were also positioned properly.

Putting his legs on the table, Arthur leaned back into his chair.

He currently had a thoughtful expression on his face as he carefully adjusted his monocle.

Silence permeated every inch of the room, basking it in its embrace.

Finally, Arthur’s mouth opened.

“He’s already reached that far huh. He exceeds my expectations every time.”

His voice rang out in the room.

Silence once again settled in the room but it was broken.

However, not by Arthur this time.

But by another familiar crisp feminine voice.

“True. He has exceeded our expectations.”

Arthur nodded, his eyes moving to the side of the room where Athena was seated.

Chew…Chew…

Her chin bobbed up and down as she chewed on her gum while laying on the sofa.

A mischievous smile spread across Arthur’s features.

“Ehh, I wonder how far he will go. My brat disciple.” He picked up a paper plane from the table.

Blowing on it, he threw it across the room where it landed on Athena’s lap.

She smiled and picked it up.

“Well, what did you expect from someone like you.”

All of a sudden, Arthur sprang up in his chair.

“He unlocked another one…” He voiced out, his voice shocked and amazed.

Athena’s eyes widened as well as her mouth was left gaping.

“A-Already?” She questioned.

And Arthur nodded, an excited smile on his face.

“This brat…” His voice trailed off.

“He surprises me every time.” Arthur smiled, a happy once, and leaned back in his chair.

The smile on Athena’s face returned.

And she blew on the paper, sending it flying across the room back into Arthur’s lap.

He subtly smiled, seeing the paper plane.

‘That reminds me…’ He suddenly realized.

‘[System]’
