Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 197 The Dark Nightmare... Part-2.

Seeing Zach struggle in Alvertoʼs grasp, Rikoʼs eyes instantly went bloodshot, her mind immediately reminded her about her immense hatred for the person who killed her younger brother.

Now that Zach, whom she had already considered as her younger brother was in danger she couldnʼt remain calm at all.

”Noo!! Leave Zach alone!!” (Riko)

[Imperial sword art: Rising Moon cleave!]

Riko used insane mana output to forcefully kick the water and jump into the sky.

Her sword swung upward and created a very precise arc.

(Imperial sword art is a technique that every swordsman could learn if they donʼt have any other sword art to learn… this is a public technique and is available to everyone..)

(It was created by an SS-ranker and is a very powerful sword art… Riko is extremely talented in this technique and has mastered its every attack form with immense hard work…)

*Ting!*

To Rikoʼs surprise, Alverto caught her sword with just two fingers. He didnʼt even use a single technique of his own.

He barely used two fingers and caught her sword easily, Rikoʼs attack was strong without a doubt, but Alverto was just too strong for her.

Due to her attack being ineffective, Riko came back to her senses, but it was too late.

”You are kind of weak… I am not quite interested in that boring sword art… I have seen it thousands of times on the battlefield…” (Alverto)

*Bam!*

”Guh!” (Riko)

Without hesitation Alverto kicked Riko in the stomach, his one attack directly destroyed her organs and she threw up a mouthful of blood.

The impact of that attack caused Riko to be thrown back into the seawater, creating massive water waves.

The shockwave caused by that attack spread everywhere and everyone who looked at this scene felt a chill run down their spine.

Seeing this dire situation, a solemn look appeared on everyoneʼs face.

Link hurriedly handed Riya over to Lia so that she could protect her with Kaiʼs blessings.

Link narrowed his eyes and glanced at the familiar figure of Alverto in the armor with vigilant eyes.

”Hey, hey, didnʼt you defeat him Rio? Why is this guy still alive?” (Link)

In the final exam event, Link had left the area mid-fight to rescue Riya when Rio and Alvertoʼs clone were fighting to the death. Due to this, he didnʼt know about what happened later.

Rio shook his head at Linkʼs question and replied in his usual emotionless tone.

”The one I killed was a mere clone of his… but this is his real body perhaps…” (Rio)

ʼI can feel that enormous presence…. His aura is on par with Ms. Annaʼs when she was at her peak… or maybe he is even stronger than her-ʼ (Rio)

”Are you done talking?” (Alverto)

Just when Rio was thinking about what to do next, Alverto suddenly disappeared from his vision and appeared right beside him.

He placed his hand on Rioʼs shoulder and asked in an amused tone.

”You certainly have improved… but not enough!” (Alverto)

Alverto was too fast, in fact, it felt like he wasnʼt even moving at all, he seemed to be able to directly teleport on the spot.

Even Rio couldnʼt sense or predict his presence with his enhanced mana detection abilities.

[Shadow Robe!]

But Rio wasnʼt going to just stand there and take the beating, before Alverto could exert force on him, Rio activated his ʼshadow robeʼ and covered himself with it.

Alvertoʼs hand went right through Rioʼs shoulder and Rio narrowly escaped. If Rio wasnʼt quick enough, Alverto would have split his whole arm.

ʼTch… he barely grazed me and my shoulder bone has already broken…ʼ (Rio)

Rioʼs left hand immediately went limp because Alverto broke his shoulder bones in that previous failed attack.

An amused look appeared on Alvertoʼs face as he saw Rio back away from him.

”Hoho, you have a really fancy armor… but will that really work on me?” (Alverto)

[Chronos: Type: Bypass!]

Alvertoʼs figure disappeared and appeared right in front of Rio.

Even though Rio was wearing the ʼshadow robeʼ he could feel his ʼdanger sensesʼ scream wildly at him.

ʼNot good! Even ʼHandlingʼ wonʼt work on him!ʼ (Rio)

[Sword Intent!]

[Concentration!]

[Elemental Sword Art: Stone Type: Stone barrier!]

Alvertoʼs punch which was covered in strange magical circles when it hit Rioʼs sword head-on.

*Boom!*

(Rioʼs sword uses his mana to maintain its form, whenever it gets damaged it recovers its damage by consuming mana, which means itʼs nearly indestructible if Rioʼs mana doesnʼt run out…)

(But there are always exceptions… if the opposing force is too strong, then the sword will not have enough time to repair itself fast enough and thus the sword will break temporarily...)

(But even that temporary breaking of the sword for a few milliseconds is a huge opportunity for the like of Alverto...)

*Crack!*

Rioʼs sword broke apart in two, Alvertoʼs punch didnʼt stop at all, it directly bypassed all techniques and the shadow Armor too.

*Boom!*

Rio was hit in the stomach head-on and he flew away like a cannonball due to the impact of that attack.

That attack was so strong and so fast that none of the students were able to help Rio on time.

Rio was fast enough that he barely reacted and deployed his defensive techniques which minimized the damage a lot, otherwise, that punch alone could have killed an ordinary A-

ranker easily.

Rio flew away and fell into the water creating massive water waves.

”hoho… to think a mere A-ranker could react to my techniques… you really are a fascinating guy Rio Flash…” (Alverto)

[Dao Rhythm!]

[Dragon Arts: Total Overload: Crazed Rush!]

Link was the first to react, he immediately concentrated mana on his right hand and attacked Alvertoʼs face with all his might.

(Overload is Linkʼs strongest technique, after becoming an A-ranker he has learned how to control it properly…)

(In the state of overload, Linkʼs strength and defense both are enhanced by 2.5 times… moreover, Dao Rhythm provides even better mana and damage output…)

Seeing Linkʼs attack coming, Alverto didnʼt even bother dodging, he stretched out his hand and stopped Linkʼs attack with one hand.

*Baaaam!!*

The punch collided with Alvertoʼs palm and a massive shockwave was created, Zach was still being strangled by Alvertoʼs other hand thus he was too close when that shockwave appeared.

Blood flowed from Zachʼs ears as his eardrums were destroyed by that massive shockwave.

Even gigantic tsunami waves were created on the oceanʼs surface.

Linkʼs eyes widened in shock when he saw that Alverto had stopped his attack with one hand.

”Imposible-” (Link)

”Go away, barbarian…” (Alverto)

[Choros: Type: Explosion!]

Alverto didnʼt miss a second, he retracted his hand and formed a fist, the fist directly hit Link in the face head-on.

The attack was so fast that even in that overloaded state, Link could not see it coming.

*Crack!*

Linkʼs jaw bones cracked and a hole appeared in his right cheek, his right eye and ear both got destroyed in an instant and the massive force of the attack caused him to lose consciousness instantly.

The impact of the attack caused Link to fly away and drown in the sea, just like Rio and Riko.

(Alverto knocked out all three of them in a span of just ten seconds… it didnʼt even take him a full minute to deal with them all…)

[Divine spirits Blessing: Divine arrow rain!]

Massive silver-colored magic circles appeared in the air behind Lia.

ʼKai, can we win against him?ʼ (Lia)

[Unfortunately not… if I was at my peak state I could have easily chewed down this guy…. But right now… I can barely protect you and that kiddo Riya…] (Kai)

ʼTch… where did this damned monster come from all of a sudden!ʼ (Lia)

[Chronos: Type: Interruption!]

Before Lia could use the spirit magic, Alvertoʼs magic interfered and directly broke all the magic circles causing Liaʼs attack to fail before it was even launched.

A look of contemplation appeared on Alvertoʼs face as he noticed Liaʼs presence.

”You human girl… you seem kind of familiar… hmm, where have I met you… I definitely remember sensing your presence…” (Alverto)

Hearing Alvertoʼs voice, Lia gritted her teeth and shouted in an angry tone:

”I have nothing to do with a demon like you! Donʼt try to act familiar with me!” (Lia)

Alverto tilted his head in doubt.

”Hmm… forget it, if itʼs important I will remember it later…” (Alverto)

After saying that, Alverto immediately teleported and appeared right in front of Lia and Riya who were covered by Kaiʼs spirit barrier.

ʼTch!ʼ (Lia)

Lia hurriedly raised her sword to defend and Riya closed her eyes in fright.

[Shadow field!]

[Advanced Stone Magic: Enhance stone wall!]

Liam and Ellie both defended Lia and Riya with all their might, all four of them knew that Alverto was monstrously strong.

He easily defeated Rio and Link who were basically the strongest duo of their group, due to this, all four of them focused on defense.

”Heh! You think this barrier can stop me?” (Alverto)

[Chronos: Type: Bypass!]

Alvertoʼs hand directly bypassed those barriers, even Ellie was not able to react to that sudden change.

Alverto directly punched Liam in the chest. Liamʼs body collided with the spirit barrier and even that barrier got broken due to the massive impact of that punch.

In one punch, Alverto beat all of them. They all got affected by Alvertoʼs skill ʼchronosʼ and fell down at an insane speed.

Ellie had to move back and cushion the fall. She hurriedly cast another shadow barrier and tried to use mana to stabilize Liamʼs condition.

ʼTch! That punch broke Liamʼs whole rib cage into pieces, fortunately, I put the shadow field otherwise he would have died from that attack...ʼ (Ellie)

Inside the newly formed shadow barrier, Liam lay unconscious with Lia and Riya who were momentarily stunned on the spot. Blood flowed from Liamʼs mouth.

Liaʼs wrist broke from trying to defend against that massive impact with her sword and Riyaʼs head got grazed by the massive shockwave and a huge wound appeared on her forehead, blood flowed out like a fountain.

Seeing the dire conditions, Ellie and Kai both had no choice but to use their magic to stabilize them all three.

Meanwhile, in the air, Alverto lost interest in further pursuing the group that was trying to hide in the shadow barrier.

Alverto lowered his head and glanced at Zachʼs face with narrowed eyes.

”Tch! You humans are really weak! To think you all couldnʼt even withstand a single punch from me, pathetic!” (Alverto)

Seeing Zach struggle, Alvertoʼs grip started to slowly tighten.

Authorʼs Notes.

Yo! Itʼs your beloved Author here! This is the first time Rio and others got beaten so one-sidedly…

In fact, this canʼt even be called a battle, they were all just beaten with a single punch after all… Letʼs see if the situation can be somehow changed somehow from here…

Question of the day.

Can you guess what Alvertoʼs skill is about?

1.Itʼs time manipulation!

2.I donʼt know (I am too worried about Rio and others to think about anything else right now!!)
