God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World!

The silver sword she had held from the very beginning finally released, for the very first time, its true brilliance, a brilliance so overwhelming that heaven and earth themselves seemed destined to lose all color before it.

Clang—!!

The sword cry rang out once again.

The silver threads covering several thousand meters instantly stopped expanding.

Then every silver thread seemed to awaken with its own consciousness.

Each one independently locked onto a different Magic Furnace frantically operating inside a different war machine.

Scarlet did not attempt to destroy the cores through brute force because, in their current condition, any excessive external impact might immediately detonate the uncontrollable energy within.

What she intended was to sever, at precisely the same instant, every magical circuit responsible for transferring energy inside hundreds of Magic Furnaces...

Completely removing the very foundation that allowed their power to continue expanding.

Such a feat could no longer be accomplished through strength alone. Even a deviation of less than half an inch in any single strike would result in the complete destruction of the western battlefield.

”You can’t do it!” Everest roared almost hysterically.

Every remaining strand of black energy around his body gathered into his right fist.

Ignoring the silver sword light that continued carving apart his flesh, he charged directly toward Scarlet.

”No one can stop hundreds of collapsing Magic Furnaces at the same time!”

”This time, no one can save them! Everyone dies!!”

Hearing those words, Scarlet slowly opened her eyes.

She did not look back toward New Dawn.

She did not glance toward Sarah, whose life force had nearly reached its end.

She raised the silver sword before herself.

The final trace of calm within her eyes completely transformed into an icy coldness that chilled everyone who saw it.

And without wasting her words, Scarlet swung her sword.

The strike appeared no different from before. It wasn’t accompanied by pressure. No violent gale. Yet the instant the silver blade descended, thousands of sword lights scattered throughout the western battlefield moved simultaneously.

Slash—!!

Inside the first Magic Furnace, all thirty-seven magical circuits maintaining the core’s operation were severed simultaneously.

The crimson energy that had already expanded to its limit instantly lost every channel through which it could continue flowing.

It rapidly extinguished within the sealed core.

Every Magic Furnace that had entered Final Overload Mode ceased functioning at exactly the same moment.

The crimson light that had nearly dyed the entire New Dawn camp blood-red vanished completely, as though someone had erased it directly from heaven and earth.

There wasn’t even enough time for a final explosion.

At the very same moment, a far more condensed silver sword light flashed directly across Everest’s chest.

Slash—!!

Everest’s charging body froze instantly.

The madness still lingered upon his face.

But the fist that had already reached within half a meter of Scarlet...

Could advance no farther.

The next second, a long wound stretching from his left shoulder all the way to his right waist slowly appeared across his body.

Blood burst outward.

The black energy surrounding him collapsed completely within only a few breaths.

The towering body that had once resembled an immovable mountain slowly dropped to its knees before Scarlet under the disbelieving eyes of countless Edgeborne soldiers.

Bang!

Both knees struck the ground.

Everest lowered his head.

Both hands desperately supported his body as though he still intended to stand once more.

No matter how desperately he tried to gather the nearly exhausted power within his body...

The sword intent lingering inside the wound immediately tore apart every strand of black energy he managed to condense.

Scarlet slowly walked before him.

The silver sword gently rose, and she slashed mercilessly.

Meanwhile, countless kilometers away from New Dawn, deep within the mausoleum of King Alverion Gale II...

The entire underground tomb remained eerily silent.

Rows of ghostly blue everlasting lamps that had burned for centuries lined both sides of the palace, illuminating the ancient stone walls and the enormous pillars covered in the marks of time. At the deepest part of the tomb palace, the transparent crystal coffin that had once held the remains of Alverion Gale II had now completely lost the overwhelming royal pressure that had once made others afraid to look directly at it.

Gabriel stood before the crystal coffin.

Within his vision, a translucent system panel visible only to him quietly floated in place.

[Ding! Do you wish to extract Level 399 Alverion Gale II?]

[Extraction Cost: 300 EP]

Gabriel’s gaze remained fixed on the system panel.

Three hundred Extraction Points was not a large amount for his current self.

More importantly, the owner of the remains before him had been a Level 399 ancient monarch who had once ruled over a powerful kingdom.

Spending only three hundred Extraction Points to select one power from a target such as this was already more than worthwhile.

Gabriel no longer hesitated.

”Yes.”

Buzz—!

As his voice fell, a familiar layer of violet light immediately spread outward from Gabriel’s palm, moving across the transparent crystal coffin and slowly covering the remains of Alverion Gale II, which had been sleeping there for centuries.

The bones, which had already fallen into complete silence, trembled faintly.

At the same time, new system notifications rapidly appeared before Gabriel.

[300 EP consumed.]

[Please choose what to extract.]

[King’s Sacred Bones]

[King’s Authority Aura]

[Unfallen Royal Banner]

[Fragmented King’s Soul]

[Godslayer Bloodline Spark]

[Unknown Sealed Object — Unable to Evaluate]

Gabriel’s gaze slowly swept across every option.

Any one of these powers would be enough to drive countless people in the outside world mad with greed.

The Fragmented King’s Soul, in particular, might contain portions of Alverion II’s memories and experiences from when he was alive, or even secrets related to the ancient kingdom.

However, Gabriel ultimately chose none of them.

A single extraction could only produce one reward.

Since the three hundred Extraction Points had already been consumed, what he needed to consider now was not which option looked enticing, but which one held the greatest value for his current situation.

His gaze finally stopped on the fifth option.
