Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 245 Team Battles! Part-3.

To Cast Spells that can auto-track a target in a certain range, you either need an extremely talented mage or several mages to work together.

(Of course, people at Rank S or above can cast it without any problems.)

ʼThey most likely donʼt have A-ranked mages... that warrior Orc and that guy Xagok, only those two might have been A-rankers in their team...ʼ (Rio)

While looking at the massive amount of lava pouring down from the sky, Rio thought:

ʼhmm, which one do I use now… thunder spread?ʼ (Rio)

Rio certainly can defend against precise and strong strikes, but when it comes to liquidized attacks like ʼlavaʼ etc. Itʼs quite difficult to do so.

[Divine Spiritʼs Blessing: Divine ascent!]

Just when Rio was contemplating about which technique to use, a massive pillar of silver light pierced through the falling lava and caused the lava to be swept away by the wind pressure created by the silver pillar of light.

The lava got scattered and wasnʼt able to hit the target anymore as Liaʼs attack directly broke the magic circle in the sky, thus destroying the auto-aim ability of the spell.

ʼAh, yes… I didnʼt need to worry about her safety; she could do that herself.ʼ (Rio)

Rio shook his head and stopped worrying about the banner they were protecting.

[North-east, 500meters…] (Ellie)

ʼHmm, so Liam tracked them down with mana detection already... he is using Ellieʼs telepathy to send information to others. (Rio)

After getting the exact location, Rio was just about to dash in the direction of the other teamʼs mage and archers, but he stopped because a notification rang out from his wristwatch.

[Congratulations! Your team has defeated a team successfully!]

[Time Left: 11 hours, 16 minutes]

ʼThey already surrendered?ʼ (Rio)

ʼIt must be because they saw their ultimate attack fail so easily.ʼ (Rio)

Rio shook his head and went back to the team.

…

VVIP Area.

Ashtel nodded his head as he said in an approving tone:

”Indeed, they made the right decision, the main attack had failed and the main attack force of the team had already collapsed, the decision to surrender was indeed good.” (Ashtel)

Even Ryul nodded his head at Ashtelʼs words.

”Well, of course, if this was a real battle, then itʼs always good to retreat when the main force has collapsed so fast; you can always fight again, but pointless deaths are unnecessary.” (Ryul)

Gradba just shook his head at his teamʼs defeat.

”Sigh… I was thinking that they would at least make it to the individual phase, but it seems they ended up following their heart in the end. they challenged the one team they shouldnʼt have and ended up with a thorough defeat. (Gradba)

Gradba then looked at the golden-haired girl in team Astra and said:

”I thought that only the boys of your team were strong... but I didnʼt expect that even the girls were this strong… that girl destroyed the spell fired by four B-ranked mages in one attack. (Gradba)

Jin nodded his head at Gradbaʼs words and said in a proud tone:

”Well, of course she is strong! She is a descendant of Tomar, ʼThe Silver Dawnʼ; she has inherited ʼDivine Spiritʼs generalʼ as her familiar. (Jin)

Gradba nodded his head at Jinʼs words; he finally understood just how ridiculous the lineup of Team Astra was.

ʼEven the members who look weaker than others are strong... it seems that there will be many monsters in the human race in the near future. (Gradba)

Other SS-rankers were also impressed when they heard about Liaʼs background; after all, nearly all of them knew about ʼHow Tomar wandered all over the continent to eat dragons.ʼ

”But still, I was thinking that Xagok would be able to last quite long; who would have thought that you guys were hiding such a hidden gem... that sword intent... it was already at the level where it could hurt even an S-ranker.” (Gradba)

The only time Rioʼs real abilities were leaked to the world was when his fight with Link and the others got leaked to the media during the group survival test.

But at that time, Rioʼs sword intent wasnʼt this strong yet; Rio was only at rank B around that time, and now that he is an A-ranker, his sword intent has been strengthened by a lot.

Thatʼs why anyone who has only seen his sword intent from the group survival test will be taken aback by the progress he has made in this short time.

”Ah, that kid, Rio... heʼs always been like that; he hides quite deep, even though we donʼt know about all of his skills. (Jin)

With his intuition of an SS-ranker, Jin could feel that Rio definitely had many tricks up his sleeve which even Link and the others didnʼt know about.

Link and the others have only seen Rio use ʼsoul splittingʼ once, and even at that time, Rioʼs attack was disguised as a normal attack so even they donʼt know about the ins and outs of that skill.

The skill that Rio uses on almost every occasion is ʼsword intentʼ, and with this skill alone, he has been able to dominate his opponents until now.

(Fun Fact: Rio wonʼt use soul splitting on enemies unless he sees no hope of winning with sword intent.)

…

East Line Forest, Southern Area.

Standing on a gigantic tree, Vanya glanced at a nearby elf girl who was looking in a certain direction and asked:

”So, how did it go?” (Vanya)

”They easily won... the Orc team didnʼt even stand a chance against them… Furthermore, we might have to be more cautious with that black-haired boy. his control over Sword intent is not something to be taken lightly.

Vanya nodded her head and replied,

”Good, your observation and detection skills are as good as always.” (Vanya)

The elf girl shook her head and said in a calm tone:

”You praise me too much, princess; I am just doing my work.”

”Haha, you donʼt have to be that modest, you know.” (Vanya)

The Elf girl continued to observe team Astra for a while and suddenly a smile appeared on her face:

”Princess, I see a chance for us.”

An amused look appeared on Vanyaʼs face as she heard those words.

”Ho… tell me about it then.” (Vanya)

At Vanyaʼs words, the Elf girl pointed towards a small lake near the southern area.

”They have started to move and are heading towards that small lake... this might be our chance.”

”We already know that two teams are hiding there; they will definitely have a fight with those two teams.”

”We shall ambush them there after they get tired enough.”

A smile appeared on Vanyaʼs and the other elfʼs faces as they understood what the elf girl was hinting at.

”Of course, we will ambush them there... after all, itʼs easier to deal with a tired enemy.” (Vanya)

…

Unaware of the dangers and traps ahead of them, Team Astra started to walk forward in order to look for more enemies.

”Hmm, itʼs quite odd; we arenʼt encountering any teams at all... itʼs as if others are deliberately avoiding us.” (Lia)

”Well, of course, they are avoiding us; we are not the only people who are capable of using detection-type skills, and other teams might have them too.” (Liam)

”People likely noticed that we trounced the Orc team.” (Rio)

”Ugh… I should have held back after all.” (Link)

”Hah! If not for you rich bast*rds! I would have defeated them easily!” (Fade)

”Oh, wait, what were you doing during the fight, by the way?” (Liam)

Liam glanced at Fade in confusion, as he didnʼt see Fade do anything at all during the whole fight; even Kira was holding a barrier to protect the banner, but Fade wasnʼt.

Fade confidently puffed up his chest and said,

”Well, of course, I was looking out for potential attacks!” (Fade)

Just when Liam was about to scold Fade on the spot, Rio suddenly placed his hand on Liamʼs shoulder and said in his usual emotionless tone.

”I have an idea, actually... we can use him as an enemy-finding magnet.” (Rio)

”Huh? What do you mean by that?” (Liam)

In the confused eyes of Liam and the others, Rio directly dragged Fade with him and made him stand in the leading position.

”Okay, now choose any random direction to go; we will follow you from behind.” (Rio)

Although Fade was confused by that, he dared not refute Rioʼs words and started to walk in a random direction.

”Uh, will this really work?” (Link)

Rio nodded his head at Link and said,

”Just wait and see.” (Rio)

ʼWith Fadeʼs ridiculous Luck and disaster-attracting abilities, he can certainly find us enemies much faster.ʼ (Rio)

Although others were quite doubtful about this approach, they didnʼt object to it either.

They all think that Rio is a sensible guy who does everything after thorough planning and as they have all been together for a while now, none of them doubted Rioʼs decisions too much at that moment.

Yeah, the reason they are now heading towards that lake where two teams are already waiting in ambush is because Fade is leading the way. (It seems even Fade has some worth after all.)

Rioʼs words turned out to be one hundred percent right; after about half an hour of walk, they easily attracted the enemies using Fade as a compass.

Authorʼs Notes.

Yo! Itʼs your beloved author here!

Rio really knows how the protagonist halo works and even knows how to take advantage of this thing; perhaps seeing Fadeʼs bullsh*t for too long has made him able to see through all these things.

Question of the day:.

Would you dare to use Fade as a disaster magnet too?

1. Yes. (We can tie him on a tree and enemies will come flocking over to look for him immediately.)

2. Yeah (Plot armor goes brrrrr~)
