Reborn as an Extra Chapter 615: Lia’s Adventure Begins! Part-4.
Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
"A dangling eye, frail internals, and dreadful miasmic decay all over the body... could this be the consequence of devouring demons and suffering from their inner miasma?"
As the beast grew disoriented from the earlier mighty strike and stumbled slightly, Lia instinctively examined its form.
Based on the available hints, Lia determined that the creature's dire condition stemmed from probably assaulting numerous demons and employing its standard predatory technique during the battles.
It had stabbed into the demon's torso and torn out its organs through a large gash, consuming them immediately, which led to exposure to miasmic taint.
Once tainted by miasmic corruption, it managed to endure it while continuing to hunt more demons, ultimately losing its reason entirely.
"Incidentally, what's your tolerance like for purification against spirit magic?"
As she posed the query, Lia skipped any response and directed her blade toward the beast.
Employing divine spirit magic, Lia amassed a vast quantity of mana and light elementals right at her sword's point, forming a dense sphere primed for tremendous devastation!
And the most terrifying detail was that, aided by an SS-rank divine spirit, it required only mere milliseconds to assemble all that power at such a swift pace.
The avian beast hardly had an opportunity to evade, since the events unfolded with extreme velocity.
Every instinct deep within its essence screamed for it to evade, sensing its impending doom drawing near at that instant!
A ray of unadulterated light elementals and divine spirit magic, as wide as a two-level structure, shot at the bird beast at light's velocity!
The 'Particle Beam' possessed enough might to overshadow even elite laser armaments!
Its velocity and force were such that an instant circular depression formed in the terrain, as the earth liquefied in a flash merely from the ray's slight touch!
The ray's intensity instantly transformed the soil and sand into hardened glass formations!
The ray persisted beyond scores of kilometers before striking a distant mountain's foundation, carving a 'C'-shaped cavity prior to depleting its energy and ceasing.
"Um... I think I applied a tad too much force there..."
[Are you certain you're staying covert right now?... I definitely don't believe so...]
"Tch, critics will always criticize; let's emphasize the upsides... for instance, folks can excavate all this glass and turn it into goods now..."
[Remember, this is a dungeon... nobody's entering to mine glass here...]
Dismissing Kai's complaints, Lia observed the S-rank bird beast and noted that, though it attempted a desperate evasion, it failed utterly.
The beast's whole left side had been utterly 'erased,' vaporized... er, 'purified.'
The remaining portion of the creature remained rigid like a statue momentarily before its innards burst forth and it collapsed lifelessly!
"No matter what anyone claims, I've greatly enhanced my command over my abilities... observe, even though half of this beast got 'purified,' the surviving half remains undamaged!"
"It shows the 'Particle Beam's' thermal output was so precisely managed that it avoided spreading to zones beyond the targeted zone. To me, that's a clear victory..."
[While your phrasing is odd, I have to admit your mastery of divine purification magic is impressive...]
The plump feline lounging on Lia’s shoulder at last gave an approving nod, prompting Lia to grin and remark,
"Hehe... just as I suspected, Rio's training approach works wonders..."
Lia had witnessed Rio employing his 'Sword Intent,' among the world's fiercest offensive powers, to brew tea for better command and finesse.
Drawing from that, Lia devised the notion of harnessing her 'Divine Purification Spirit Magic' for meal preparation to boost her own command and finesse!
Lia had actually deployed a 'particle beam,' typically a starship's primary armament, for cooking!
Though not as outrageous as Rio's accomplishment, her action remained astonishing to contemplate!
[Like the proverb goes... similar minds unite!]
[It's no surprise you two became partners; your thought patterns align so closely it's hard to credit!]
As Kai chattered away in Lia’s thoughts, the tiny golem shielded its eyes with its minuscule paws, trembling at the sight of the enormous corpse.
Lia stroked its little head to soothe it before heading toward the beast's location.
Right as she prepared to advance, she scowled and retreated abruptly, baffling Kai, though he quickly grasped the reason.
The apparently deceased beast abruptly stirred and rose, propping itself with its guts acting as tendrils.
This eerie beast persisted in life; miasma oozed from every part, its organs dangled externally like clock pendulums, yet it endured!
It wailed in agony while launching its bones as missiles at Lia!
Witnessing this, Lia scowled slightly and effortlessly sidestepped by ascending with her ethereal wings.
Next, she aimed her sword at the grounded beast and unleashed!
In one swift motion, Lia repeatedly unleashed the ability on the beast, excavating a vast pit in the earth and forming an enormous depression in the vicinity!
The entire zone spanning several dozen kilometers was utterly ravaged, with the surface smoothed flat and elevations crushed!
