Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 405: Shockwaves of the declaration of war...



Even after seeing Rio's true face, Riya's expression remained unchanged.

'She likely thinks I am a demon trying to imitate the real Rio... What a headache...'

[Sword Intent]

Rio made his sword vibrate with sword intent and showed it to Riya.

"See, I can use sword intent; it's the real me..."

Riya narrowed her eyes and asked a question to confirm,

"Who's the weirdest person in team Astra?"

"Link!!"

Rio replied to that question without hesitation, and Riya nodded her head at that answer.

"It's the real you! Nice! I was getting sick of seeing more and more demons; they just have no end to them!"

Rio couldn't help but shrug his shoulders at those words.

"Well, you kept killing so many that they likely kept sending more to reinforce the area."

Rio has never seen Riya do combat-related things before; usually she's always on the sidelines, always buffing the team and doing the healing work.

It's quite shocking that she suddenly woke up and chose violence, directly slaughtering dozens of demons by forcefully injecting healing magic in their bodies.

"During the evaluation test in the Dragon Valley, I learned these combat methods from Aria Senpai... Before that, I didn't know about using healing magic in such a way either..."

Unlike Rio and others who were giving trials and trying to get evaluated for three days, Riya's trial had ended in a single day.

For the rest of the two days, Aria was teaching her methods that can help her in emergency situations.

Aria only taught her a few things though; the rest was all Riya's own work.

If she didn't have the 'Heart of Eternal Nirvana', she couldn't have created a whole territory that slowly gets filled with healing magic over time and lets her do whatever she wants.

A healer needs to hurry up to the side of their patient, so Riya can teleport in this territory to reach her patients faster to heal them without delay.

If used by someone with a pure heart and good personality, this skill is a blessing for all living creatures except the demons, and if used by someone with an evil personality, it can create chaos of unimaginable levels.

"So, you were also teleported here? I thought it was only me... Wait, could it be that all of us ended up getting teleported here?"

The two of them ignored the melting corpse of the demons and started walking forward together.

"I don't know... The engagement ring isn't showing any sign of his presence... Either Link didn't get teleported or he isn't wearing his ring right now; both scenarios are quite bad..."

"Also, there were traps last time in this place; I am worried that Link will get stuck in them..." Hearing those words, Rio just shook his head.

"No need to worry about it... Actually, I was teleported to the upper floor, but all the way down here, I didn't notice a single trap..."

Rio rarely ever talks with Riya, so the atmosphere around them became kind of awkward quite fast now that Link isn't in the area.

The two of them consider each other friends but have rarely ever talked to each other alone before, and most of the time they talk when the whole group is present.

Moreover, due to some reason, Riya is in quite the bad mood right now, so the conversations didn't last long, and both of them became quiet for the rest of the journey.

'Ugh, Lia, where are you? Save me from the awkwardness!!'

...

Floor 36.

*Achoo!*

[What? Caught cold?]

"No, perhaps someone's talking about me behind my back..."

[You still believe in superstitions in this day and age?]

"Forget about that... We need to figure out why we are here again..."

Lia rubbed her temples in irritation; just now she was praising her massive collection and enjoying herself happily, then suddenly the portal opened and teleported her here.

Thankfully she stores her sword in the hidden spirit space inside Kai's plain of consciousness, so she has her weapon; otherwise she would have had a hard time.

"But seriously, this place gives a completely different vibe than the one we visited before... There are so many demons in this place..."

As Lia walked through the corridors, dozens of demon corpses were left behind in her path. All of them had massive holes in their bodies, as if something hit them at an insanely high speed and turned their body parts into literal powder in an instant.

Although Lia can't claim that she can compete with Rio in terms of combat, she's not a weak and helpless girl either; she's strong enough that Rio doesn't have to worry about her safety in any circumstances.

'In fact, I am more worried about him... He suffered that strange comatose state after coming out of that 'prototype'... If others have been teleported like me, then he might be in trouble

too...'

[I think you are worrying too much... That guy is like a d*mn cockroach! I think he can make it out alive from any kind of situation!]

'Don't call him a cockroach, or I will kill you first! Only I am allowed to give him random

names!!!

[Okay, okay, my bad...]

[By the way, what are we going to do with this little guy?]

'Just keep him in your plain of consciousness for now...'

[But he's messing around too much!! He's like a kid playing around with toys!!]

Ignoring Kai's wails, Lia closed her eyes for a bit and then channeled her mana into her eyes.

She then activated her 'Foresight' ability.

'It's been a while since I last used it; it still puts a massive burden on my mind... but I guess I have no choice right now...'

If not targeting certain people, Lia's foresight ability can now predict ten seconds into the

future!

Traps? Ambush? Demon attacks? Lia can see them all happening beforehand.

"No."

[How about we go to the left path-]

[Er, I can never get used to that....]

While at the end of the corridor, the path split in two directions, and Kai was using his

intuition to tell her to go the left path.

But Lia already predicted he would say that and denied it before he could even say it out loud.

Even Kai is always taken aback when she uses this ability, and he can't get used to how she answers his questions before he even asks them.

[But why not the left path?]

'No, I was just messing with you on purpose to try to see if the skill is working properly... We

are going the left path, of course...'

[I think that guy's playful nature has affected you too... he's the one who messes with others on

purpose all the time...]

'I Guess...'

[Silver Lion Swordsmanship: Stone piercer!]

Without saying anything, Lia raised her sword and thrust her sword in a certain place with

immense force.

*AAARRHHHH*

A loud shout resounded throughout the corridor, and a corpse fell down on the floor.

[A technique that lets you be invisible?]

'Yeah, it was going to stab me in the back using its invisibility as an advantage...'

Lia already saw this outcome, so she easily determined the other party's position instantlyNôv(el)B\\jnn

and attacked the demon before it could even take action.

Her attack was so powerful that it caused a sonic boom in the air, and a one-meter hole appeared in the chest of the demon as it fell down on the ground lifelessly.

'Still quite slow... Rio's faster than this...'

Although Rio rarely ever uses thrust attacks and isn't as skilled at them as her, he's still quite

fast in general.

Lia wants to attain that speed too.

Just when Lia was walking through the corridors and trying to make her way to floor o, a

massive earthquake happened.

*Tremble!**Crack*

As if the entire 'Spire of Ascension' was trembling from an extremely powerful 'Shockwave',

several cracks appeared in the floor and the walls of the corridor due to that massive

earthquake.

[D*mn... such a powerful shockwave... I just felt an insanely powerful mana fluctuation...]

[There's no doubt about it; several SS-rankers are fighting somewhere in the above floors!]

A solemn look appeared on Lia's face after hearing those words.

Even a single SS ranker is enough to cause massive scale destruction; several of them fighting

in one place will cause massive scale damage.

'I literally have no idea what's going on right now... there are just too many questions in my mind, but there's no one to answer them...'

Lia sighed and started to move forward with utmost caution.

Although her foresight ability can indeed predict in the future and help her survive, if she suddenly encountered an SS-ranker, that ten seconds of time gap won't matter at all

anymore.

"The trembling in the wall's is getting more fierce... 'shockwave', I wonder if Link's father is

here in the spire of ascension too?..."

[Now that I think about it, only he can create such a massive scene... Even in my prime, I don't think I

could have beaten him at all...]

[He's likely several dozen floors above us, yet the attack's power is still so strong even after being

weakened by tens of thousands of layers of mithril and adamantine...]

[This is pure insanity...]

*BOOOOM!!* The ground below Lia's feet trembled even more fiercely as time passed.

"Another one?"

[No! This one came from below!! There are SS-rankers fighting in the lower floors too!!]

At that moment, Lia jumped to the side with all her might and ran forward without looking

back with all her strength.

*BOOM!!*

A massive beam made up of miasma broke through the floor, and she barely dodged that

attack.

Even though she reacted ten seconds beforehand, she still barely dodged the attack by a

hairsbreadth.

The beam of miasma was so massive and so dense that it melted and corrupted even mithril

and adamantine in a mere millisecond!

'T-that was close...'
