Reborn as an Extra Chapter 735: Forgotten World, Cyria-229. Part-3.

Link first unleashed a vast perception amplification field around his person, utilizing the skill 'Supreme Being’s Aura,' a power awakened by every S-ranker upon achieving rank S, synchronizing it with his 'Dao Rhythm' to maximize its potency.

Subsequently, he combined this skill with his innate Dragon Domain ability, an ability once devised specifically to counter Rio’s overwhelming speed, thereby elevating his fundamental perception capabilities to an unprecedented level!

Through these augmentations, his capacity for close-range detection experienced a dramatic improvement, enabling him to react to incoming threats from all directions at a significantly accelerated pace.

And then, he concluded this formidable sequence with his signature combat skill!

With a mere flick of his wrist, Link generated an immense pressure of wind and mana, scattering all the monsters that were converging on him from multiple angles!

A portion of these creatures were utterly annihilated into bloody mist by the sheer potency of the mana pressure, a result of his effortlessly executed combo skills!

However, the combo was far from complete; while the lesser monsters were swept away, the more formidable S-rank monsters remained unfazed by that casual display of power.

As if to underscore this point, a colossal sandworm, rivaling an entire city in size, surged towards him, completely disregarding the preceding defensive maneuver.

This particular technique eschewed any artifice or elaborate flourishes, manifesting as a direct, unadorned punch, yet it was amplified to its absolute zenith through 'Dao Rhythm' and the skills Link had painstakingly honed throughout his existence!

It was a fist capable of challenging the destructive force of a celestial bombardment, imbued with mana condensed to its ultimate limits and channeled into a singular, devastating strike.

A concussive wave, potent enough to rupture the hearing of all within several kilometers, erupted outward as the sheer impact of Link’s punch reduced the entire sandworm’s form to mere paste!

The attack possessed such raw might and power that the resultant air pressure alone was sufficient to fracture the very ground, carving new valleys across the landscape and instantly eradicating hundreds of thousands of monsters!

Link’s fist wielded such devastating force that it was akin to a nuclear detonation upon the monster horde, obliterating every living entity within dozens of kilometers in a single, instantaneous cataclysm!

‘The miasmic monsters on this planet are considerably more potent than those we encountered during Alverto’s rampage within the spire of ascension…’

‘Furthermore, the gravitational pull of this planet is astonishingly intense, and with mana existing in such sparse density, all my assaults have been severely hampered by the miasmic corruption…’

‘This planet is decidedly ill-suited for martial artists such as myself…’

Reflecting on these observations, Link felt a profound dissatisfaction with his own performance.

On this peculiar world, he was demonstrably not operating at his full potential, and the pervasive miasma suppressed his abilities, stirring a feeling of intense irritation within him.

‘Tch, I despise miasma; it perpetually places me at a disadvantage… Ugh, if only I possessed the ability to manipulate miasma, much like Rio, then I wouldn’t be subjected to such significant suppression…’

Miasma represented a fundamental vulnerability for Link, capable of greatly diminishing his skills and inflicting severe debuffs upon him.

It was also a primary factor contributing to Rio’s victory over Link in the supreme tournament, and since that fateful encounter, Link had endeavored to overcome this weakness, albeit with negligible progress.

‘While the Strengthened Dao Rhythm does appear to grant me enhanced resistance to miasmic corruption, it remains insufficient…’

‘I must devise novel strategies to confront this inherent weakness… Perhaps I should journey back to the dragon valley in the near future to seek counsel from the Dragon King…’

Ashtel, though powerful, lacked the specialized knowledge regarding divine dragon techniques and abilities; consulting the Dragon King would undoubtedly be a more effective approach for such matters.

‘Rio also possesses an understanding of miasmic corruption, but appealing to him would be futile, as that individual himself is unaware of the reasons behind his ability to control miasma and the full extent of its capabilities…’

Pondering these various thoughts, Link plunged into the monster ranks, moving like an overwhelmingly powerful tiger amongst a herd of defenseless sheep!

As if manipulating the very fabric of reality, Link distorted the spacetime continuum with his extraordinary brute strength and potent 'Dao Rhythm,' compelling hundreds of thousands of monsters into close proximity with one another, momentarily.

Then, he unleashed his subsequent combo attack!

As if a high-tier, light-based mana bomb had detonated amidst the monsters, a blindingly brilliant explosion erupted precisely at the core of the monster aggregation that Link had previously drawn together.

The luminous energy, generated by harnessing the 'law' of 'light' through the cosmic rhythm, was so immensely powerful that it rendered the explosion of a hydrogen bomb utterly insignificant!

Within a ten-kilometer radius, all existence was annihilated as intense heat radiated outwards, transforming the very sand into glittering crystal shards!

Following this cataclysmic event, a grayish ash descended for hundreds of kilometers, leaving no monster alive in its wake!

Witnessing this scene, Link paused and sheepishly scratched the back of his neck.

"Uh... Did I perhaps use a bit too much force unintentionally?... I got caught up in my thoughts and ended up going a little overboard..."

As if dumbfounded by his casual admission, Kai, who had hastily erected a potent spirit magic shield to protect Lia and Riya, unleashed a torrent of curses!

"The f*ck do you mean, 'used too much strength'!? You're saying you still have more power to unleash!? Just what kind of monstrous being are you!?"

Link was akin to a walking nuclear warhead; a simple punch from him now carried the destructive equivalence of a hydrogen bomb!

Rio had previously shattered Kai’s understanding of reality with his astonishing abilities, but now Link was causing him to doubt his own existence with his sheer, incomprehensible raw power!
