Reborn as an Extra Chapter 864: Soul of an Anomaly. Part-3.

A ruthless glint flashed in Rio’s eyes as miasma around him stirred lightly as if it were frightened by his thoughts.

Although Rio usually didn’t like to implicate innocent individuals and preferred to avoid harming others, he was no ’hero’ or ’saint.’

Rio was selfish to the core and could go to any limits for his goals.

The moment he realized the amazing talents of the giant worm, his thoughts changed, and he immediately decided to butcher the other party instantly!

Rationality, mercy, and benevolence? Rio threw them out of the window instantly, and the ’Sword of Absolute Destruction, Vinash,’ immediately manifested in his right hand.

[You! I do not wish to fight someone as strong as you! Leave!]

The perceptive giant worm immediately noticed the change in Rio’s aura and realized that the other party definitely had unkind intentions and was not going to back off; thus, it tried to persuade Rio further.

Unfortunately for it, its persuasion meant nothing to Rio at all!

"My apologies, but I can’t leave. Ever since I chose to walk this ’path,’ I have never had the option to leave midway. I can only go forward now; retreat is not an option!"

Rio raised his sword upwards, and the fire elementals condensed on its blade in such overwhelming density that the blade started to shine with dense white light as if Rio had coated his sword in a piece of the sun itself!

With such overwhelming power, Rio swung his sword downwards, forcefully splitting the dark clouds in the sky and evaporating everything that came in the way of the kilometer-long condensed sword of flames!

Sensing impending doom, the giant worm did not hesitate any longer; it sacrificed a part of its own lifespan and forcefully changed its own physical form, turning itself into the manifestation of a mental plague!

It’s gigantic body shrunk in a fraction of a milli-second and turned into a humanoid demonlike shape!

Using this sudden shrinking, the giant worm dodged Rio’s sword attack and barely managed to get out of the way of the sword slash!

Rio’s sword slash smashed straight into the ground and instantly split it in pieces, creating several valleys filled with liquid lava!

"You actually dodged it! That’s very intriguing! Your mental capacity is really high, and as I thought, you have exceptional skills!"

"Tell me your name, Demon Warrior!"

Being pointed at by Rio’s sword, chills ran down the nightmare demon’s entire body, and its eyes shook in fear, but it refused to back down.

[Name? I have none, but I am the current core of the death swarm plague; you can call me ’Ahankar’ if you want!]

Rio watched in surprise as he noticed that the space-time fabric was suddenly bent slightly and swung like a carpet being swung for drying by force!

It suddenly felt as if the sky had come crashing down at him, and his body was hit by force so powerful that Rio’s automatic sword and defensive armor felt overwhelmed, and he was pushed down slightly from the sky!

"Whoa! This is the first time I have seen anybody use pure mental power to bend the space-time fabric. In terms of mental power alone, you might already be as strong as a peak SS ranker!"

"If it was any other S ranker in my place, they would have been killed or fatally injured by that move just now, how fascinating!"

With a calm look on his face, Rio placed his sword near his waist, took his stance, and swung it horizontally while condensing earth elemental energy on his word.

[Why don’t you understand!? I do not wish to fight! Leave me alone! You monster!]

Seeing Rio easily nullify its powerful move, Ahankar was frightened to the core and felt helpless!

With its powerful perception, Ahankar could sense that Rio was not just a normal S ranker and was definitely a more dangerous and powerful existence!

With a wave of its hand, the spacetime fabric shook, and Alankar created a temporary barrier around itself to withstand Rio’s attack!

Unfortunately, Rio’s attack was like a hammer hitting a piece of glass and easily shattered the barrier!

The force of Rio’s sword swing was so powerful that Ahankar was flung off far into the distance like a crashing meteor, and its body smashed straight into a mountain, causing the mountain to collapse from the powerful blow!

Rio immediately flew towards Ahankar’s crash site, but to his surprise, the other party didn’t seem injured at all and instead attacked him with powerful mental energy, bombarding the defenses of Rio’s mind!

Rio’s greatest ability was not his overwhelming power but his insane ability to copy anything and everything using his limitless talent!

Ahankar had already attacked Rio mentally and physically several times by now; this was long enough for Rio to already crack the mysteries of the other party’s power and realize a basic level understanding of it.

Thus, using his newly understood powers, Rio created a new skill that could be boosted and integrated with his sword intent and could be used to directly defend and protect the borders of his sea of consciousness!

The spacetime fabric stirred due to the powerful collision of two people’s insanely strong mental forces, and the mountain range shattered into pieces as debris was flung in all directions!

[Thi-this is impossible! Just a few seconds ago your mental defenses were much weaker, but now they have become almost invincible!?]

[This is insanity!! What kind of monstrosity are you!?]

Hearing those words, Rio replied in his usual emotionless voice,
