Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 378: Battle of Supreme Swords... Part-3.

[Elemental Sword Art: Wind Type: Serpentine Wind!]

As the mimic type enemy had already absorbed nearly all the miasma from the water and the whole area inside the giant hall, Rio didnʼt need to keep his ʼMiasma typeʼ activated at all times now.

He can use other elements and can fight freely now that that thereʼs no miamsa in the surroundings.

*Clanck!*

Just like how Rio swung his sword in a serpentʼs ʼslitheringʼ like motoin, the mimic did the

same.

Both of their swords hit each other at the same time and as the two of them were doing the exact same attack, they cancelled out each other.

ʼQuite a good copy you are... but can you copy this?ʼ

[Sword Intent!]

Rio covered his sword in sword intent and swung it downwards, and just like he had expected, the other party couldnʼt copy ʼSword Intentʼ at all.

The other party used ʼDarkWing Movement artʼ instead and dodged his attack by making a safe distance.

ʼLegendaryʼ Skills are unique existence, they are the representation of the acknowledgement of the ʼLawsʼ of the ʼWorldʼ, you canʼt copy them no matter what.

Every personʼs legendary skill is unique to themselves.

For example, Although Meng has ʼSword Intentʼ but the charactertics, aura and ʼflowʼ patterns of his ʼSword Intentʼ are completely different than Rioʼs.

Itʼs as if the twoʼs ʼSword Intentʼ are two completely different skills that donʼt have any similarities except the fundamental uses of them.

Thus, if this mimic type enemy wants to use Sword Intent, it would need to get the acknowledgement of the ʼLawʼ of ʼSwordʼ and even then, itʼs sword intent will be unique to itself, it wonʼt be a copy of Rioʼs.

The reason why Fade, who had the system store couldnʼt buy ʼMana Fieldʼ no matter what, was because you canʼt ʼBuyʼ the ʼfavoribilityʼ of a ʼLawʼ of the ʼWorldʼ, you have to ʼEarnʼ that ʼAcknowledgementʼ yourself.

Even till the last chapters that Rio read, Fade never acquired ʼMana Fieldʼ despite having tons of ʼExpʼ on him.

ʼAside from ʼSword Intentʼ... you also donʼt have the ʼImperfect Sword Heartʼ... in other words, you are just a weaker copy of me... arenʼt you-ʼ

Just when Rio was about to get disappointed in the other party, the mimic raised the sword towards the ceiling and three more blobs of meat fell down from the ceiling.

Seeing another three appear out of nowhere, a frown appeared on Rioʼs face.

ʼWhere are they even coming from... I am sure I didnʼt sense that there was any of them there before...ʼ

ʼOr is it because i have the unfair advantage so it summoned itʼs companinons to even out the advantage?ʼ

*Whoosh*

The other three blobs of meat didnʼt even take more than a few milliseconds before they attracted miasma from outside and started absorbing it.

[DarkWing Movement Art!]

*BOOM*

Rio bent his knees a bit and launched towards the three newly appeared enemies with a bullet like speed.

Just by moving he created powerful sonic booms in the air and the water in the area became chaotic.

A strong shockwave spread in the area which slowed down the speed of the first mimic by a few milliseconds.

And Rio didnʼt miss this small delay, he raised his sword above his shoulder and struck down at one of the blob of meat that had only just started to transform.

[Unique Skill: Soul-Splitting!]

Rioʼs sword glowed with a sinister dark aura and the moment it hit the blob of meat, it directly sliced itʼs whole body in two along with itʼs soul, will and consciouness.

*Clank*

Just when Rio was about to attack the second enemy, the fully transformed mimic appeared on time and used handling to parry his sword and it stopped Rio from going for a double kill.

Rio then jumped in the air, used air as ground and made a few meteres of distance between him and the enemies.

*BOOM!!*

The mimic beast that Rio killed exploded and a massive shockwave spread out

[Elemental Sword Art: Earth Type: Stone Barrier!]

Rio held his sword with his both hands and swung it in an upward motion, the Earth elementals condensed and created a massive wall like like shield in from of him that blocked

the shockwave, the wind pressure and the residuals of the mimic.

When the enemy exploded, Rio immediately sensed that it had split into many small knives and was going to launch in all directions.

ʼAltgough it was a risky move, atleast i reduced their number by one...ʼ

Fighting several clones of himself will not be easy for even him, thatʼs why he decided to take the risk and reduce their number by even one if possible.

ʼNow comes the difficult part though...ʼ

One of the three clones jumped into the air and the other two swung their sword to use ʼWind typeʼ and gave a massive speed boost to the one in the air.

[Elemental Sword Art: Fire Type: Raging Wild Fire!]

As the clone in the air used a ʼwater typeʼ attack, Rio countered it with a ʼFire typeʼ one, but the speed boos the other two clones gave him was indeed quite high, So it barely canceled out the power boost of the ʼSword Intentʼ.

Still, the clone sustain minor injuries as blocking sword intent completely was out of itʼs

capabilities.

Blocking the attack from the mimic, Rio immediately tilted his head to the right and a sword made from condensed miasma barely missed his head.

ʼAs expected of my clones, they are fast...ʼ

A smirk appeared on Rioʼs face as he sensed the third clone try to attack him from behind.

Rioʼs attacks are mainly combo and chain type attacks.

If you got hit by even one, it would be very diffcult to dodge the rest of the combos that will be followingg right after the first attack.

The three clones swung their sword and attacked Rio from three differnt angle with three completely different elements.

ʼWater, Fire and thunder all three at once... hehe, do you really think you can use my own

technique better then me?ʼ

[Sword Intent!]

[Elemental Sword Art: Sound Type: Cosmic Shockwave!]

*BOOOOM!!*

Rio pointed his sword downwards and the tip of his sword touched the ground, an extremely strong shockwave spread out from his body as he was using sword intent on his whole body.

The shockwave went in all directions and directly cancelled out all three attacks at once!

ʼIf I know what technique will be effective in which situation, then I also know which technique will be ineffective against what type of attack...ʼ

The shockwave not only cancelled the three elemental attacks, it forcefully pushed back the

three clones which opened a retreat spot for Rio.

ʼI wonder if they can copy my equipment too...ʼ

Rio was not sure if the three clones could copy his equipment, but he didnʼt care.

Even if they copied his sword and were able to use ʼSoul Splittingʼ, that skill wonʼt work on him anyway, as ʼTrue Immunityʼ will cancel it out.

ʼBut the same is true for these guys too... ʼSoul Splittingʼ wonʼt work on them eitherʼ...ʼ

The only reason why Rio was able to kill one of the mimics with ʼSoul Splittingʼ was because

the other party was still in the middle of his transformation and Rio attacked it before it could

fully transform.

If Rio was only a few milliseconds late, then ʼSoul Splittingʼ wouldnʼt have worked on it

either.

In a battle between awakeners, every millisecond matters, just one wrong decision and you

are dead.

Rio knows himself extremely well, if he doesnʼt have ʼSword Intentʼ and ʼSword Heartʼ, he will try to keep distance from the enemy and do more sneakier attacks.

He knew this beforehand, thus he knew that the mimic which was present from the start will definitely be delayed for a few seconds as it was trying to keep a distance from himself.

Rio made the decision to target the newly summoned mimics in that millisecond worth of time frame and sure enough, that gave him a big advantage.

He reduced the number of his opponents from four to three before they even properly joined

the battle.

This is the advantage knowledge brings, if Rio didnʼt know about his own habits, he could have never seized that chance.

ʼAs they say, knowing yourself first is very crucial for a battle, even more crucial than knowing

the enemy...ʼ

Without delay, Rio kicked one of the clones and made it avoid his kick, but before the clone

could counterattack, Rio glanced in a random direction and shouted.

”Ah, Lia? What are you doing here!?”

The clone immediately got distracted and ended up looking in the same direction where Rio

was looking thus it forgot about attacking.

ʼIdiot, why would Lia be here, you love sick weirdo!ʼ

[Sword Intent: Maximum Output!]

[Elemental Sword Art: Healing Type: Concentrated Heal!]

Rioʼs sword passed right through the body of the clone like butter and he poured tons of

healing magic in the other partyʼs chest.

These mimics are made up of miasma afterall, healing magic is literal poison for them.

The mimicʼs whole upper body exploded.

ʼSo, they canʼt mimic my equipment... no, they have much weaker versions of it...ʼ

Rio jumped away to dodge the attacks of the other two clones while contemplating in his

mind.

These mimics have weaker versions of his equipment, if it had a shadow robe that was powerful enough then this attack wouldnʼt have landed on it and the healing magic wouldnʼt

have worked.

But it worked not only because the clone got distracted for a millisecond, itʼs robe was weak and it wasnʼt enhanced with sword intent or miasma.

These were the main reasons why that clone died.

ʼEr... this method actually worked on the clone... doesnʼt that mean it would work on me too?

Ugh...ʼ

Rio couldnʼt help but shake his head with a helpless look on his face.

When it comes to Lia he really ends up getting distracted even amidst battle, this can prove

fatal someday.

ʼSigh, I guess I need to improve in this aspect later...ʼ
