Reborn as an Extra Chapter 733: Forgotten World, Cyria 229. Part-1.
Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
Across immense, treacherous quicksand plains, a colossal horde of hundreds of thousands of monsters converged from every direction toward a single point!
Countless creatures perished, vanishing into the sand, crushed under the stampede of their own kind, or succumbing to the overwhelming miasma. Yet, despite the immense carnage and chaos, the monster tide showed no sign of diminishing.
Sandworms, gargantuan serpents, venomous scorpions, fearsome wyverns, majestic griffins – a staggering number of beasts, estimated in the hundreds of thousands, moved in unison, constricting Link and his companions from all sides.
The very air pulsed with a deadly miasma, potent enough to instantly kill an A-ranker. Riya quickly activated her healing field, a necessary shield against the corrosive miasmic corruption.
"What is happening here? This spectacle... it eerily reminds me of when Alverto unleashed his legendary skill, 'Soul Resonance,' summoning hordes of demons and monsters to assault us within the Ascension Spire..."
A look of profound confusion etched itself onto Link’s face as he scrutinized the unending monster tide, his eyes narrowing.
"Could someone possess Alverto's unique ability and be orchestrating this against us? But then, that still doesn't account for the bizarre teleportation..."
Lia, upon hearing Link’s musings, gently shook her head.
"No... I don't detect any unusual manipulation at play here. The threads of fate guiding these monsters appear quite ordinary to me..."
"The primary reason they are all converging on us seems to stem from the miasma driving them into a frenzy and compelling them to target us. But that begs the question... why would the miasma specifically target us?"
Riya, having just finished reinforcing her healing field, interjected at that precise moment.
"It’s directed at me... As one blessed by the 'World' and the 'Inheritor of the Heart of Eternal Nirvana,' I am akin to a beacon in the darkness..."
"The moment I am transported into an area saturated with miasma, all the monsters within its reach are drawn to me and relentlessly seek to eliminate me, as the miasma cannot tolerate my presence within its domain..."
Kai emphatically nodded in agreement with Riya’s explanation.
"Indeed, this planet appears to possess an extraordinarily high concentration of miasma in its atmosphere. The miasma density is nearly at ninety percent, with mana comprising only ten percent at most..."
"We have arrived in a different galaxy, on an entirely different planet. Conditions here will operate under different principles. You all need to exercise extreme caution and prioritize protecting the 'pink kiddo' until you can depart from this place..."
Hearing these words, Lia could only offer a resigned sigh before casting a potent spirit magic shield around Riya.
"The mana density in the atmosphere is quite low here; refrain from overusing your healing field, as depleting your mana would be incredibly problematic..."
"Simply maintain a basic purification magic field around the two of us. We shall handle any threats that emerge."
Riya readily agreed to Lia’s prudent advice, nodding in acceptance.
They were seasoned comrades, having weathered countless battles for survival together!
By this juncture, an unspoken understanding bound them: ensuring the group's healer remained safe was paramount in every engagement.
As long as Riya was present, she possessed the ability to restore them even from the brink of death. Nay, with the mythical 'Resurrection' ability now within her grasp, she could even bring them back from the dead!
Just as Lia and the others prepared to engage, Lia’s precognitive abilities flared, signaling an impending event, and she suddenly spoke.
"Hmm? The threads of destiny... they seem to be subtly urging us toward that particular direction for reasons unknown..."
"Link, we must break free from this encirclement and proceed in that direction..."
At Lia's words, Link’s gaze followed hers towards the area where numerous S-rank monsters were advancing, his eyes narrowing with strategic assessment.
"They have bolstered their defenses there... This implies they are actively attempting to prevent us from reaching that location."
"I shall carve a path forward; you two follow closely behind. Lia, Riya's safety rests in your capable hands."
With that declaration, Link advanced, adopting a formidable martial stance, a confident smile gracing his lips.
"Ever since I attained S-rank, I haven’t had the opportunity to truly unleash my full might. I am, in fact, rather pleased that you have all decided to become my opponents..."
"I was precisely in need of some practice targets to test out my new skills, hehe~"
As if the very essence of Ashtel Rex had manifested within him, Link’s technique and posture flawlessly replicated Ashtel’s ancient combat arts!
Link executed a punch into the empty air, mirroring Ashtel’s movements, and to the astonishment of Riya, Lia, and Kai, Link tore a rift in the fabric of space-time, much like Ashtel himself!
The space-time continuum fractured and shattered like delicate glass. Hundreds of thousands of monsters were annihilated instantly, completely erased from existence as a colossal void crack was forcibly generated by Link’s devastating strike.
"HAHA!!! I did it!!!"
An ecstatic grin spread across Link’s face as he clenched his fist, gazing upon his magnificent accomplishment with immense pride!
"I knew it! Merely fortifying one's body and growing stronger wasn't the sole capability of this 'Dao Rhythm'!"
"Its applications are far more extensive! It empowers me to harness the very essence of the universe's 'Dao'! Hahahaha!!!"
Dao Rhythm transcends mere defense; it bestows upon its wielder profound insight into the fundamental 'Rhythm' that governs the cosmos!
The universe itself is in a perpetual state of flux, ceaselessly striving for advancement and a more stable form of being.
Consequently, all cosmic laws adhere to a specific cadence of improvement, and by grasping this universal rhythm of transformation and evolution, one can command the universe's own power!
"Achieving over 95 percent mastery of your legendary skills is truly astonishing! It explains how Rio can wield so many abilities and possess such formidable power..."
"When a legendary skill ascends to a mastery level of 95 percent or higher, it then evolves into a superior form..."
Gazing at his fists, now capable of rending the fabric of space-time, Link was overcome with emotion.
'From feeble strikes that couldn't even fell a simple fowl to a destructive force capable of shattering the void... I have journeyed far.'
