Reborn as an Extra Chapter 569: Breakthrough to Intermediate S-rank!
Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
The Shadow King had turned against King Allen, yet he had endured sufficient torment within the spirit realm; he yearned for ultimate absolution from this unending agony.
By this point, the massive shadow dragon along with every mature dragon had completely lost recollection of their own names.
No sense of self remained for them; not a single joyful recollection lingered to offer any comfort.
Rio found himself unable to offer aid or respond in any way.
That enormous warped tree couldn't shut down its world authority; death eluded it because the miasma refused to allow it, and even Rio lacked the means to mend or end it, unable to circumvent that formidable world authority.
After Rio's interruption, the Shadow Dragon King had lost his concentration, and upon realizing King Allen would probably never come back, his remaining sliver of hope got utterly shattered.
Rio had anticipated that ultimate SSS-rank entity to connect to the sea of endless miasma, but with confirmation now in hand, he grew even more wary of miasma and its abilities.
"I understand, I'll depart... I'm sorry I had to deliver such heartbreaking news about King Allen to you... but I needed information on where my friend might be..."
"I'm searching for a shadow dragon named 'Elisia Mistilteinn'!"
Rio sensed the Shadow Dragon King's remaining soul shards and untainted soul waves beginning to diminish.
Before long, it would forfeit its last trace of reason and descend into total madness.
Should that occur, Rio could lose any chance of uncovering hints about Ellie's whereabouts.
Upon hearing 'Elisia Mistilteinn,' every dragon head abruptly widened their eyes as though a sudden realization struck; astonishment washed over each of their expressions.
From the deepest core of those fused souls' fluctuations, Rio detected a fresh intense feeling emerging, and that feeling turned out to be 'joy.'
The dragon heads burst into laughter filled with pure delight and bliss; their booming voices caused the whole plateau to shake.
Certain heads even shed tears of elation; it seemed as if they had at last discovered their redemption!
The primary dragon head of the Shadow Dragon King grinned while addressing him in a serene voice.
Rio inclined his head as he replied in his typical flat tone.
"I possess a companion; he's an exceptionally skilled summoner, with Ellisia serving as his summoned dragon."
"They've formed a pact of alliance; Liam encountered some trouble, and it's believed his soul got transported to Ellisia..."
"I journeyed here to locate them; I arrived to escort both back to the material world alongside me..."
In response to Rio's explanation, the assorted dragon heads bobbed in agreement as they commented.
While the dragon heads offered diverse remarks on the situation, the core sentiment among them was immense gladness that Ellie had secured her role in the world thanks to Liam's support.
The dragon head once owned by the Shadow Dragon King and Elisia's sire beamed as he declared in a soft manner.
The assorted dragon heads exchanged glances and agreed by nodding, then aligned themselves simultaneously.
Rio dipped his head while returning his sword to its sheath and stated in his standard emotionless manner.
"I am Rio Flash, a modest swordsman from the human empire!"
Following Rio's declaration, every dragon head grinned, and a potent soul wave radiated outward in every direction.
All the dragon heads simultaneously restrained the miasma with force and channeled their personal soul essence and vitality to bestow their strength upon Rio.
Suddenly, Rio's shadow robe began to shine brightly, and he felt its might intensifying rapidly.
The shadow robe's abilities and techniques received a massive boost; it had grown so robust that Rio could now disregard nearly every form of physical harm!
No one could pierce this robe's protections anymore, except through potent world authority or an expertly wielded legendary skill!
In an instant, Rio's abilities in stealth and dark elements advanced by multiple tiers.
The unadulterated soul energy and vitality from scores of dragons flooded into Rio's form all at once, propelling him straight to the mid-level of S-rank in a single leap!
