Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 74 Lia’s Is Not A Villainess For Show!

B-rank Dungeon, Lava-lake.

Waterfall area.

”Tsk, it seems she has gone unconscious, itʼs no fun if she remains unconscious like this…. Hmm, there seems to be another human over there…. Letʼs save this golden hair woman for later, how about I torture that weak woman first… kehkehekeh…” (Telmuk)

Telmuk walked towards the woman stuck under the rubble, she was half-conscious. He easily picked up the rubble and tossed it aside.

”Kehkehkeh… this one seems to have a very high concentration of mana in her, she would make for a good food actually, and how about I eat her after I end playing with her, kehkehkeh…” (Telmuk)

Telmuk stretched his hand to hold Riyaʼs head:

”Here I go-” (Telmuk)

Just as he was about to get his hands on Riya, he felt a huge amount of mana concentrating behind him. Telmuk turned back and looked at Lia with an expression of surprise on his face…

A huge amount of mana was flowing toward Lia and the concentration of Liaʼs mana was increasing at an immense speed. Anyone, who knows how difficult it is to concentrate your mana is, would know how terrifying this scene is.

.

(Warning- massive detail bombs ahead, proceed with caution…)

For any awakened, the amount and concentration of the mana in their body is a very big factor in determining their rank and strength both. The more concentrated your mana is, the stronger your attacks will be and thus more damage output would be possible.

The base factor on which your talent is decided is that ʼHow much mana your body can handle at max and how much concentrated you can make your mana at your bodyʼs maximum capacity. This is also why those born with bodies with low mana capacity are considered less talented and at most can only achieve rank E in their lifetime. (Just like how Fade used to be without his cheat system.)

The reason why it is nearly impossible to increase your talent is that it is already determined at birth, the day you are born it is already decided how much mana your body can hold.

This is the basic principle of this world.

(Of course, there exists some unique methods which actually defy this basic principle of the world itself like- Fadeʼs system, Rioʼs limitless potential, and Linkʼs potential enhancement training since birth. Out of them, Linkʼs potential enhancement training was actually the most genuine method, Rio and Fade are just a glitch in the matrix.)

Getting a contract with a strong being like- a god, a divine spirit, a demon spirit, etc. is also one of the glitches in the matrix. With this method, the individual who has contracted can share the mana of that strong being for their own use. This way their mana capacity increases externally.

Getting contracted with a strong being will increase your talent and mana capacity based on the being you have contracted. You can borrow mana without making your body suffer any consequences.

And what the other being gets from it, you ask? The beings like divine spirits, demon spirits, etc. are made purely out of mana and donʼt have a physical form until they can establish a contract with an individual when the contract is confirmed then spirits get to have physical bodies, and demons get to have souls and life essence, etc. this is basically a win-win situation for both parties.

.

(Okay, now we are back to our chapter.)

”Wh-what!? Such tremendous mana! How can that be!? Thereʼs no way a human can have such a massive and concentrated mana while not even being an A-ranker, that much mana, only peak A-rankers can have it! But that woman is not an A-ranker!” (Telmuk)

As Telmuk looked at Lia slowly standing up, he felt a chill run down his spine, he was feeling as if he was in the presence of a top predator looking down on him.

While Telmuk was looking at Lia with a perplexed reaction. Lia slowly stood up and picked up her broken sword…

”Sh-she canʼt possibly be thinking that she can beat me with a broken sword, kehekehkeh…” (Telmuk)

The previous evil smile on Telmuk was now gone, and his emotions are now in chaos, if he was human you could have seen sweat covering his whole face, but since he isnʼt human no one knew how much he regrets leaving that woman alive.

Lia suddenly raised her sword and pointed it towards the sky, while her silver pupils were shining brightly her, golden hair slowly turned silver, shining and waving in the air. Slowly all the previous wounds on her body recovered automatically, Lia concentrated her mana on the sword:

[Enhance armament: release spiritual mana!]

The broken sword suddenly got covered with a silver aura and started to return back to its original shape, but this time it was better and stronger.

As Lia fully restored her sword, she concentrated her mana toward her back:

[Divine Spiritʼs Blessing: Wings of light!]

Two silver wings appeared behind Lia making her look like an angel. These wings are not for the show they can enhance speed and agility tremendously. Giving a huge boost to the user, in terms of mobility in battle. Of course, they are capable of flight too.

Lia pointed her sword towards Telmuk and said in a cold tone:

”Accept your purification, evil being.” (Lia)

After Lia said that, Telmuk was about to say something but the very next second Lia was already right in front of Telmuk, pointing her sword toward Telmukʼs heart.

”Wai-” (Telmuk)

[Silver Lion Swordsmanship: Obliterate!]

Before Telmuk could have understood what was going on, Liaʼs sword pierced Telmukʼs chest blasting a huge hole in Telmukʼs chest, the impact of the attack made Telmuk fly away due to the immense shockwave caused by that one attack.

”Cough! Cough! H-how….” (Telmuk)

Telmuk continuously coughed huge amounts of black blood, and he could feel his soul slowly falling apart, just a few minutes ago he was still enjoying torturing his prey and now he was lying on the ground waiting to die, such irony.

But Telmuk was still not done yet, even if his soul was slowly falling apart there is still at least ten seconds for him to self-destruct and deal huge damage to the whole of the area. An A-rankerʼs self-destruction is not something a B-rank dungeon can handle, it will easily make the whole dungeon fall apart and throw all the individuals outside of the dungeon.

This might totally destroy their plan of finding the fragment holder and might even put the life of the demon prince in danger, but at least Telmuk could drag a few people to death with him.

After blasting off Telmuk, Lia was not standing around in the show, she inserted her sword into the ground and put her hands on the hilt of the blade, slowly inserting the mana into the ground through the sword.

A huge silver-colored magic circle appeared on the ground and started to shine brightly:

[Divine Lionʼs Blessing: Summon Divine Spirit Kawaki!]

After enough mana was concentrated, Kai slowly appeared from the summoning circle, making a grand entrance with his magnificent and huge body. As he was summoned he faced towards the sky and roared to announce his presence to all the lower beings that a king has arrived.

ʼItʼs been many centuries since I last saw the sky, but it seems today I would not be able to see the clear blue sky, an S-ranker seems to have expanded his domain here…ʼ (Kai)

ʼMy perception is telling me there are actually two S-rankerʼs not too far away… This is troublesome… If it was my heyday I could smack an S-ranker like itʼs nothing, but since Lia is still not that strong, I can only display the capabilities of an A-ranker at most…ʼ (Kai)

(Kai is an SS-rank divine spirit, and Telmuk is an S-rank demonic spirit.)

ʼWell letʼs not worry about that for now, I should finish this repulsive and disgrace to the name of spirits first.ʼ (Kai)

Before Telmuk could have self-destructed, Kai already took action. A huge amount of mana was concentrated in Kaiʼs mouth, and a huge fire breath was released on Telmuk making him scream in pain and slowly burn away into nothingness.

With this, a millennia-long existence of a malicious being was finally extinguished and all the people who suffered in the hands of this demonic spirit, finally their souls can rest in peace.

ʼThis concludes one matter, next is…ʼ (Kai)

Kai turned back and looked at Lia who had already fainted from the overuse of mana and Riya who is staring at him with a look of surprise on her face.

Riya just canʼt believe her eyes, she has seen an incredible event today. Todayʼs event might actually make her a little bit more mature, a little bit.

ʼI know that look very well…ʼ (Kai)

ʼHer stare is really troublesome, donʼt tell me she wants to stroke me just like Tomarʼs wife used to, sigh~ʼ (Kai)
