Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 160 The Battle for Perfection... Part-3

(In the distant memories of an ambitious young boy.)

*WAAAAHHHH*

The cries of a newborn baby resounded throughout the Rex Mansion for the first time.

But with those cries of a new beginning, the cries of ʼendingʼ were also present.

ʼhmm, what is this place… why are my eyes so blurry… is this my memory?ʼ (Link)

From the tear-filled and hazy eyes Link could vaguely see a woman caressing his forehead.

The woman had a gentle smile on her face as she caressed her childʼs face with love.

”I… donʼt seem to have much time… I feel weak… so just hear my last words…”

”Link…. No matter what you become, your mother will always be proud of you….”

”You see…. Several disasters are happening outside… your father is not here…”

”But I know… he will raise you properly…”

”Just keep in mind… your mother will always be proud of you, so donʼt use your talent to do bad things okay…”

”Make sure you protect your loved ones and…. And live a happy life… this is farewell I guess… hehe…”

In her final moments, Linkʼs mother smiled at him and peacefully passed away with Link sleeping in her arms.

…

(In his sea of consciousness…)

ʼYes, I remember now… I have always questioned why I wanted to become strong…ʼ (Link)

ʼI always wanted to know why I never had a mother…ʼ (Link)

ʼI didnʼt like the heavens because they stole my mother from me…ʼ (Link)

A strange silence appeared in Linkʼs consciousness before he finally understood everything.

ʼNow I understand everything… it was the ploy of the heavens itself that were jealous of my existence from the start…ʼ (Link)

ʼMy motherʼs soul shattered from bearing the burden of giving birth to an extremely strong soul like me…ʼ (Link)

ʼUltimately, I was the reason she died…ʼ (Link)

ʼBut she was proud of my existence, and thus I shouldnʼt let her trust go to waste…ʼ (Link)

ʼNow I know why I always wanted to be strong and reach the very heights of this world…ʼ (Link)

A ray of light appeared in the vast sea of consciousness.

ʼIf the heavens are denying my existence, then I will trample those heavens beneath my feet!ʼ (Link)

ʼIf the only way to protect my ʼloveʼ is to trample upon the very fate of this world, then I will do that with a smile on my face…ʼ (Link)

Several more rays of light shined in the vast sea of consciousness.

ʼI will make you proud mother!ʼ (Link)

[Ding! You have achieved a sudden realization!]

[Ding! You have learned the legendary skill ʼDao Rhythmʼ!]

[Ding! You have altered the course of Fate!]

[Ding! With the push from your skill ʼDao Rhythmʼ, you have fulfilled all conditions!]

[Ding! With ʼDao Rhythmʼ as the base, your physique has reached ʼPerfectionʼ!]

[Ding! Advancing to rank A…]

…

Boss Area, the tomb of perfection.

”Link…” (Riya)

Riya stared at the face of the unconscious Link with tears in her eyes. She hadnʼt moved a single inch from her place since half an hour ago. (It has already been half an hour since Rio and others chased Rahab outside…)

Just when Riya was at her witʼs end, suddenly a golden light started to cover Linkʼs whole body.

Seeing this scene Riya was surprised, but Damian was still sober so he immediately understood what was going on.

”Riya! Get back!” (Damian)

In a mere millisecond, Damian cast a barrier and immediately carried Riya away from Link.

Just when the barrier was completed, A huge amount of mana suddenly rushed towards Link at an extremely fast speed.

”What!?” (Riya)

”Thereʼs no time to explain! Letʼs leave!” (Damian)

With a worried look on his face, Damian immediately jumped out of this place through the hole in the ceiling he immediately reinforced his barrier.

Seeing Damian rush out, Kira also carried Fade on her shoulder and cast the ʼflightʼ spell to leave this place immediately.

…

Boss area, the snowy mountaintop.

*Clink**clank*

[Elemental Sword Art: Wind type: Serpentine wind!]

Rioʼs sword slithered like a snake and attacked Rahab from various angles, and as if a serpent was coiling around him, Rahab had nowhere to dodge these consecutive attacks.

”Useless! Useless! The likes of you canʼt kill me, bahahaha!” (Rahab)

Rioʼs figure disappeared and reappeared again and again, each time his attacks were properly dodged by Rahab easily.

ʼThis guy is too fast, even if a fake one he still used to be an SS-ranker after, his body is extremely tough…ʼ (Rio)

ʼI canʼt use my soul-splitting skill on him anymore, but theyʼre still one way…ʼ (Rio)

While the other three were keeping Rahab busy with continuous attacks, Rio contemplated in his mind as he lurked around in his aura-less state.

(With his robeʼs help, Rio can enter this ʼaura-less stateʼ, the only reason why Rahab can dodge Rioʼs attacks despite not being able to sense him, is because his stats are too high and he can easily sense Rioʼs attacks with pure instinct…)

ʼIf somehow I immobilize him, then I can put my sword on his opened head and forcefully destroy his insides by overloading it with my ʼsword intentʼ…ʼ (Rio)

*Boom!*

While Rio was still contemplating in his mind, a loud noise resounded throughout the mountaintop.

Rio tilted his head and glanced back, he saw a huge tornado made up of pure mana raging nearby. Itʼs center seems to lie in the room where the first saw Rahab.

Under the shadow robe, a smirk appeared on Rioʼs face.

ʼHeh, what took you so long! Idiot!ʼ (Rio)

Rio had already guessed that only one person could have created this insanely huge mana tornado in this place.

ʼhe is breaking through to Rank A…ʼ (Rio)

Since this mana tornado was comparable to the one Rio had created earlier, Only Link could have created this huge mana tornado, no one else here was talented enough to compete with Rio like that.

ʼHeh, you are still trying to compete with me, even when ascending…. This guy…ʼ (Rio)

Rio shook his head. He knew that Link was too competitive and proud of his achievements.

He must have wanted to make a bigger mana tornado than Rio, now he is trying to do exactly that.

Rio then glanced at Rahab and found that he was also staring at Link with great hatred in his eye. (He has only one eye left, Directly support the authors on ReadNovelFull!

in fact, he only has half of his head left, and you could even see his brain twitching from time to time…)

ʼI should keep this guy occupied, otherwise he will try to interfere with Linkʼs ascension…ʼ (Rio)

Ellie, Liam, and Lia, all have the same thought in their mind too, they know that they must not let Rahab interfere with Linkʼs ascension right now. And thus the intensity of the continuous attacks increased even more.

[Sword Intent!]

[Elemental Sword Art: Thunder Type: Horizontal shift!]

Rioʼs swung sword horizontally with condensed thunderbolts slithering all over his swordʼs body.

[Elemental Sword Art: Thunder Type: Polar Knockback!]

Rio knew that his first attack wouldnʼt work and thus he used the other one after his first was about to be dodged.

Just when Rahab was about to dodge Rioʼs attack, the condensed thunder flared up and shot at Rahabʼs body like a magnetic field that pushes the similar poles of two magnets away from each other.

The magnetic field created by Rioʼs thunder-covered sword pushed Rahab several meters back and proved its effectiveness.

ʼThis works…ʼ (Rio)

But obviously, this didnʼt affect Rahabʼs tough body in any way at all.

He stomped the ground and launched at Rio like a cannonball. His punch directly went through Rioʼs head in an instant.

ʼHe has started to become more chaotic since he lost half of his soul… this is the chance…ʼ (Rio)

With his mana detection, Rio already detected that the tornado behind had already come to an end and this was the moment to strike.

[Dao Rhythm!]

[Dragon Arts: Heavenʼs Befall!]

Link who was covered in golden light fell from the sky like a meteor and smashed the ground with great momentum. His attack was aimed at Rahab but it missed.

Rahab was too fast for Link, but even after the attack failed a smile appeared on Linkʼs face. He jumped up like a spring and opened his arms wide.

”This is the end, demon!” (Link)

Linkʼs previous attack caused the whole mountaintop to collapse and debris flew everywhere, this made Rahabʼs footing unstable and that was what Link was aiming for from the start.

He immediately wrapped his hand around Rahab and immobilized Rahab in his grasp.

Rahab tried to get Rid of Linkʼs grasp but now that Linkʼs whole body was covered in the golden aura of ʼDao Rhytmʼ Linkʼs defense was unbreakable, he didnʼt even budge from his spot.

And Rio didnʼt let this precious chance go to waste either.

Due to their mutual understanding, Link knew from the start that even with him becoming Rank A, he wouldnʼt be able to land a decisive blow on Rahab, thus he chose the best option.

And that option was to immobilize Rahab with his own body and let Rio deal the final blow.

(Even though Link was not sure, but he trusted the fact that Rio must have some way to deal with this demon... the mutual understanding between Rio and Link had already reached an amazing realm just from this level of trust...)

Rioʼs devilish whisper resounded in Rahabʼs ear in those crucial moments.

”Checkmate…” (Rio)

[Sword Intent: Overload!]

Rioʼs sword stabbed directly into Rahabʼs exposed brain and at Rioʼs command, his sword intent forcefully attacked Rahab at full capacity.

Without mana or defensive skills, it is near impossible to survive the crazy rush of ʼsword intentʼ into your most vulnerable organs, and thus Rahab who was at his witʼs end was also helpless in those moments

*NOOOOOOO*

Rioʼs sword intent invaded Rahabʼs brain and it directly exploded into a meat paste, ending Rahabʼs life after a few seconds of struggle.
