Reborn as an Extra Chapter 643: I will not retreat Again... Part-2.
Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
Lia narrowed her eyes upon hearing Kai's words.
Clearly, a demon capable of leaving such a profound impact on Kai was no ordinary being.
Lia understood perfectly that the demon race brimmed with prodigies; Alverto by himself possessed enough power that, without Rio's interference, he could have single-handedly wrecked the entire world through his cunning plots!
Underestimating even the feeblest demons is a grave mistake, especially one as mighty as this S-rank demon who boasts exceptional handsomeness!
Standing out as handsome amid a race of brutish, grotesque demonic beasts marked a huge anomaly!
Certain members of the world alliance even claimed that demons who appeared more attractive and refined tended to be the most potent and perilous!
’Though not quite as dashing as my Rio, this guy ranks right up there with Alverto...’
’The key question remains if he possesses a legendary skill as well...’
An everyday S-ranker differed vastly from one wielding a legendary skill, like comparing separate species.
Just one bearer of a legendary skill could slaughter scores of peers at the same level and even challenge higher ranks under the right circumstances!
The power surge from a legendary skill isn't something to take lightly; it turns even the frailest into deadly forces, and that's for those already formidable!
[From what I know, this guy lacks a full legendary skill but wields a diluted form of it... similar to how your ’Foresight’ serves as a lesser variant of a particular legendary skill...]
Kai's explanation startled Lia.
’My ability ’Absolute Precognition’ counts as a downgraded legendary skill? I've never heard that before...’
’Then what exactly is the true legendary skill tied to this power?’
Thrilled at the prospect of the legendary skill she might unlock someday—since she already held its preliminary form—Lia buzzed with curiosity, yet Kai shook his head and responded gravely,
[Certain knowledge... is best left undiscovered; once learned, there's no returning to blissful ignorance...]
[You’re wiser not knowing about ’that’ legendary skill, maybe. When you ascend to demi-god status one day, I’ll reveal it, but not yet...]
Lia let out a sigh at Kai's words and dropped the subject.
Despite her eagerness to learn about the legendary skill she could potentially awaken, Kai's caution made her hold back, given her deep trust in his counsel.
...
Their telepathic exchange between Lia and Kai wrapped up in less than a second, so Rahn detected zero irregularity.
Kai's eyes sharpened as he gazed at Rahn and teased,
"Hoh? Wandering these forsaken regions, General Rahn? Looks like you've got plenty of spare time lately..."
Rahn's brow furrowed at Kai's retort, fury flashing in his gaze.
"Look who's talking; why's a guy like you, who ignores mortal matters, suddenly aiding these vermin!"
"Don't claim that serving a master has softened the fearsome divine general into a compassionate soul?"
Kai rolled his eyes at Rahn's jab and shot back,
"What if I admit I've turned kind? Would you buy it?"
Rahn erupted in furious laughter at Kai's remark.
"AHAHAHAH!!!! THE CRUELEST ENTITY ON THIS WORLD CLAIMS KINDNESS!!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!"
"You devour dragons for breakfast and purge demons by pummeling them to oblivion just to kill time! And you DARE claim a kind heart!?"
"Bullsh*t!! I watched you swallow a hatchling dragon after slaying its mother before its eyes only a year back!"
Lia's eyes narrowed at the demon's charges as she turned to Kai and thought,
’Got a beef with dragons? Why do you hunt them relentlessly?’
Lia had visited dragon valley and knew no corruption tainted them; most were indolent, peaceable beings uninterested in worldly affairs.
Kai once claimed he targeted them solely for Tomar, yet reality painted a different picture—Kai had relished slaying dragons for millennia!
Small wonder dragons and others familiar with him eyed him warily upon detecting him.
[Uh... no grudge against them... but seeing them sparks this irresistible craving to devour...]
[Can you fault me? Those plump lizards offer divine meat; the flavor's pure bliss... ahem!... cough!....]
Brushing off Kai's odd tastes, Lia lifted her sword, aimed it at Rahn, and proclaimed loudly,
"Whatever schemes drive the demon army to invade here, I won't allow harm to befall the fairy race..."
"Either retreat willingly or perish by my blade! Decide now!"
Rahn assumed a battle stance at Lia's declaration and retorted icily,
"The path is clear! These irksome fairy pests must perish and vanish forever!"
"Until that's done, demons won't grant fairies even a moment's respite!"
As Rahn finished, additional portals ripped open, unleashing a larger demon horde while three more S-rankers emerged to back him.
"You're pulling out all stops... sending a full demon army division against one foe now?"
Rahn smirked at Kai's comment, locking eyes with Lia as he declared,
"No price too steep against the chosen of the world's mightiest divine spirit general!"
"Good she's still maturing... letting her flourish would spawn a demon race nightmare like you!"
"I’ll eradicate this budding threat before it grows into an invincible force!"
Rahn swung his broadsword once, unleashing a colossal tsunami—a gigantic wave surging at Lia with cataclysmic might!
"What’s this!?"
[’Acqua Manipulatio,’ the diminished counterpart to the legendary skill embodying the ’Law’ of ’Water’ within the ’world’...]
[While the true skill manipulates all worldly atoms and matter to flow as water for control, this inferior variant elevates the user's water elemental prowess to utmost extremes!]
Grasping the dire threat from Kai's info, Lia realized the peril.
That elemental water tsunami could obliterate the nature temple and slaughter countless fairies in seconds!
Dodging was impossible; Lia had to counter it herself!
Lia conjured a gigantic spear of divine purification magic, amplified its velocity and potency with gravity, and hurled it directly at the oncoming tsunami!
The radiant spear smashed into the tsunami, its gravitational magic dismantling the propelling surge, dispersing the waters harmlessly!
Undeterred, the light spear charged Rahn, who casually swung his sword to pulverize it!
"Spears like that aren't exclusive to you!"
Blending his innate miasma and corruption affinity into a water assault, the demon hoisted his sword skyward, summoning spear-shaped raindrops!
Those drops hurtled at Mach 10 speeds, laced with miasma in the water for deadlier impact!
’He’s aiming at the fleeing fairies to corner me!’
As Lia prepared to shield the fairies, Nine lunged, slamming a punch that forced her sword block, despite proper defense hurling her into the earth!
Swollen with absorbed vitality, Nine's strike packed enough force to crater Lia even after her guard!
With Lia unable to halt the miasmic downpour, Kai swiftly flicked his hand, unleashing minimal power!
A mere paw swipe from Kai scattered the entire miasmic rain via sheer wind pressure!
