Reborn as an Extra Chapter 645: I will not retreat Again... Part-4.
Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
"You look pretty distracted today, Divine General~ It's hard to believe a powerhouse like you has fallen into such a miserable condition!"
"AHAHAHH!!! YOU CAN’T EVEN FIGHT BACK!!! AHAHAHH!!!"
Right now, Rahn experienced the greatest moment of his life as Lia desperately battled his subordinates and Nine.
Kai gazed toward Lia with worry clear on his face, letting out a sigh of pure helplessness.
’I can’t unleash any strong attacks while she’s trapped in that fierce clash; launching powerful strikes would burden her heavily and shatter her focus in the fight...’
During this intense showdown where countless assaults flew every second, even a tiny error or a millisecond of distraction could determine who won or lost.
Surrounded by numerous elite demons striking in flawless sync, Lia barely had a chance to catch her breath, much less attempt anything further.
’Her mana is draining away at an alarming speed...’
On any other occasion, Lia might have quickly restored her mana with a high-grade potion, yet the relentless barrage from those mighty foes left no opening for such a move.
Kai had shrunk his enormous original form down significantly, standing at just three meters high in a far weaker state than his initial descent.
He hadn’t downsized for better close-quarters combat with Rahn; rather, larger size meant greater mana drain from Lia, hastening her defeat.
Therefore, he channeled most of his spirit magic and mana back to her, allowing her to withstand the nonstop pounding from those five attackers.
In this shape, he could merely hold Rahn in check and keep him occupied.
"I have to admit... this restraint isn’t so bad... but I got myself into this predicament fully aware such a day would arrive..."
"Thus, I’m not as distressed as you portray me..."
Upon hearing Kai’s words, Rahn burst into louder laughter, taunting him further.
"BAHAHAHAH!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT DESPERATE EXPRESSION ON YOUR FACE, YOU FILTHY LION SCUM!!! BAHAHAHAH!!!"
"I BET THOSE DRAGONS WOULD BE ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING IF THEY SAW YOU NOW! BAHAHAHAH!!!!!"
Faced with that voice dripping in scorn, Kai merely shook his head, filled with dismay.
Rahn clung to outdated times long vanished, whereas Kai had witnessed the world across over two thousand years.
He possessed unprecedented calm and patience these days.
’That guy Tomar was quite the oddball too, constantly landing in peril due to his overblown arrogance and huge ego...’
Having endured countless trials alongside Tomar, Kai had grown accustomed to such tough spots and power limitations in the beginning phases of his master’s development.
Lia encountered an identical challenge.
Her plight resembled a frail kid suddenly grabbing a shotgun without the strength to grip it right and attempting to fire.
Lia remained too feeble to manage the ’recoil’ from this mighty ’shotgun’ named Kai; she couldn’t fully release his potential just yet.
"It’s true she acts as my current chain... however..."
A smirk spread across Kai’s features as he proclaimed assuredly,
"However... you’re fixated on the now... blind to the vision I hold..."
"The unassuming girl you ridicule and belittle will shortly gain the strength to squash pests like you with one finger snap..."
"And truthfully, saying one finger is generous; she may not even bother moving it. Trash like you producing only ’defective’ skills hold little worth..."
Kai’s words and especially ’defective’ hit a raw nerve spot-on, wiping Rahn’s grin instantly, overtaken by a single fierce feeling.
That feeling was ’Boundless Rage’!
"KAWAKI!!!!!! HOW DARE YOU LABEL ME DEFECTIVE!!!!!!??? I’LL DESTROY YOU!!!!!"
Like a storm cloud exploding overhead, vast dark corrosive seawater poured down, with colossal waves smashing all in their path!
The terrain got leveled flat; every human and demon nearby drowned and got pulverized beneath the water’s immense force!
Scores of oceanic surges slammed toward Kai, as though the ocean itself viewed him as foe, its infinite fury set to swallow him alive!
’OOPS... I may have provoked him excessively without meaning to... Did my taunt mastery improve lately? Just basic jabs and he lost it already?...’
Kai had honed his provocation arts through inventive dragon insults, so having a dedicated arsenal for demons came naturally.
Yet even he hadn’t foreseen a mere insult igniting Rahn’s wrath to this degree.
Glancing at the Temple of Nature underneath and detecting lingering unevacuated fairies, Kai shook his head with a sigh.
"Sigh... Looks like I must leave them behind-"
Right when Kai prepared to forsake the fairies and temple to doom, an unexpected command from Lia shifted his resolve.
