Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 336: Proof of Determination... Part-1.

Dragon Valley, Northern Region

An Extremely tall mountain.

”I seriously have no experience in mountain climbing... So I guess I will just have to make do by using some other methods...”

[Summon: Demon Chimera!]

~Swish~ (Cold air noises)

Nothing happened when Liam tried to summon Kazto, and the scene became kind of embarrassing.

”Oi oi! Itʼs illegal to summon help! You canʼt be doing that here!”

Just when Liam was scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, a manʼs voice entered his ears.

Liam glanced to his left and found a middle-aged man sitting on a large boulder nearby. He was wearing casual clothes and a big hat on his head.

His one hand was placed on his lap, while the other was holding a large bottle of wine.

Anyone can tell from the manʼs reddened face that the other party is quite drunk at the moment.

”Huh? I never knew that drunkards also like to wander around in mountains...”

When the man heard Liamʼs words, he glared at Liam and said,

”Idiot! I am not a drunkard! I drink because I want to escape reality! Canʼt you tell the difference!”

”Sigh- young people these days...”

Liamʼs expression turned complicated as he said,

”How am I supposed to know the motivations of random drunkard... By the way, if you are looking for people to borrow money from, donʼt ask me... Please go away. I am kind of busy right now... shoo~ shoo~”

Liam waved his hand at the man as if he were trying to ʼShooʼ away a random cat or something that came over to his house to disturb him.

”I have never seen a kid that has a more annoying face than you; I kind of want to beat you for some reason...”

Hearing the manʼs words, Liam pretended to dial some number on his phone.

”Hello, child protection services? A suspicious old drunkard is saying that he will beat me-”

The middle-aged man could not help but shout at that moment.

”D*mn you punk!”

Liam stopped pretending after seeing that he had successfully pissed off the other party without even doing much.

ʼAn SS-ranker? What is he doing here? Is he responsible for my being here? I need to stall for more time somehow; maybe someone will come to rescue soon...ʼ

Liam wasnʼt actually messing around on purpose; he was stalling for time in a very hidden way.

The very moment Liam came here, he already felt that something was wrong with this place. Thus, he used words to say what he was doing, and then he tried to summon Kazto. He was going to summon Kazto and escape this place.

However, his summoning was unsuccessful for an unknown reason, most likely due to the presence of this SS-ranker.

Liam immediately decided to buy some time for himself.

Unlike Rio and the others on his team, who arenʼt quite good at making plans, Liam can come up with plans at the spur of a moment.

He knew from the start that he couldnʼt fight an SS-ranker, and he couldnʼt even escape from an SS-ranker.

Even if you have a teleportation scroll on you and try to use it, if the SS-ranker is in close proximity, they can literally interfere with the space-time fabric and stop your teleportation mid-way.

Thus, as a low-ranking person, if you want to escape the grasp of an SS-ranker, either you teleport away before the other party finds you or you just pray to your ancestors to give you more luck.

Everyone below rank SS is nothing more than an ant to these demi-god-like beings.

”Ugh, forget it; wasting time on pointless talks will only make me more sober, and then I will start remembering my sad past again...”

The middle-aged man drank wine directly from that large bottle with an annoyed look on his face while ignoring Liamʼs annoying face.

”Sigh- Wine is still the best way to escape reality, I just love the taste of it...”

Upon hearing the manʼs words, Liam abruptly stated,

”My father says that ʼWine is like Sh*t, you feel better after discarding it awayʼ...”

Hearing Liamʼs words, a complicated look appeared on the manʼs face,

”Your father sounds like the kind of person that I would hate the most...”

Liam nodded his head and said,

”Well, I donʼt like him either, but you know, heʼs an SS ranker; I canʼt really do anything

against him, and his name is Neo Aldif, by the way-”

Before Liam could finish his words, the manʼs eyes widened, and he said,

”Ah! Itʼs that hateful Schemer!! So you are the son of that messed up guy!?”

The unknown man suddenly appeared beside Liam and patted his shoulder with a look of pity

on his face.

”Sigh, it must be hard having a ʼpsychoʼ as your father, right? I was originally quite annoyed by you, but now I feel pity for you...”

A confused look appeared on Liamʼs face after hearing those words.

”Eh? What do you mean, ʼPsychoʼ? Although heʼs quite an annoying man, I donʼt think he has

any mental issues...”

Hearing Liamʼs words, the man sighed and said,

”Well, if you donʼt know... Then it means that he has done good work in hiding all his dark

past...”

The man drank a mouthful of wine and then said it with a serious look on his face.

”Insanity like no other, making tens of thousands of summoned beastsʼs rampages on the battlefield, he alone can bring out an army that can put the armies of weaker races and entire nations to shame...”

”A man whoʼs so insane that he wasnʼt afraid of fighting three SS-rankers at the same time, he committed so many war crimes and slaughtered millions of innocent civilians of the Orc Empire during the fifty-year Orc War...”

A solemn look appeared on the manʼs face as he continued to say,

”Heʼs such a psycho that he slaughtered a small group of dragons that were living in a secluded area, just because he wanted a dragon as a summon...”

”That day, he slaughtered nearly twenty dragons and took three of them as his f*cking puppets! He even slaughtered young and old alike; none were spared...”

”Donʼt go on his face; that guyʼs insanity canʼt be fathomed... I think the only reason he has become calmer and quieter these days is because heʼs been warned by Ashtel Rex to not cross

the line of morality...”

Even Liam was shocked after hearing all those things.

”T-this!? H-how can that be!? Heʼs always using a mimic to hide and doesnʼt even dare show

up in person; I always used to think that heʼs a coward!”

Upon hearing Liamʼs words, the man chuckled slightly and stated,

”Pffft~~ Coward? The guy who spit on the face of the Demon King and murdered half of the children of the Demon King right in front of him is a Coward?”

”HAHAH, Thatʼs the biggest joke I have ever heard!”

Liamʼs pupils shrank as he heard those words,

”W-wait... Wasnʼt he only sent to taunt the Demon King and lure him away in that mission of

assassinating Demon General Azazel?”

The man nodded his head at those words and said,

”Of course, he was only asked to taunt the other party, but Neo is an insane guy; the best

method he came up with to taunt him was to slaughter the other partyʼs children and then spit

on his face...”

”The demon king was so angry that he chased Neo in the whole solar system like a mad dog! I

have never seen a demon be so miserable in my life... That was the first time I ever felt pity for

a demon...” The more Liam listened, the more he felt that his worldview was being shattered.

He has always underestimated Neo a lot.

Neo has always been absent for Liam most of the time, and he usually likes to create troubles

for Liam that annoy him a lot.

Therefore, Liam did not take the time to thoroughly investigate Neoʼs background.

Moreover, Neo has done a very good job of hiding information about the things that he did in

war.

You will not find any of this information on the internet, even if you hire a hacker to find it. ”Why do you think he rarely goes out of the nation? Itʼs because he was warned by Ashtel not to mess around... I doubt he would be this tamed if not for the existence of Ashtel Rex...” Just by existing, Ashtel influences a lot of things in the world. His existence alone is enough to bring many bad things to a halt.

”Also, you should be ready, kid... I wouldnʼt be surprised if he suddenly had the urge to attack

you if you started to become his equal...”

At that moment, Liam frowned and said,

”Why would I trust your words? What if you are trying to sow discord?”

The man shrugged his shoulders at Liamʼs question and said,

”Well, it depends on you. Trust my words if you want to, or donʼt trust them if you donʼt want

to; no oneʼs stopping you...”

The man walked in front of Liam and said it with a serious look while looking into Liamʼs

eyes.

”But keep one thing in mind: Neo was considered one of the ʼRivalsʼ of Ashtel Rex in his younger days; donʼt underestimate that man...”
