Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 280 Link, The Menace... Part-3.

[Dao Rhythm!]

[Dragon Arts: Draconic Dive!]

Link stomped the ground and jumped into the air. He used Dao Rhythm to walk on the air and then dove down towards Vanya at an insanely high speed.

[Blessing of the World Tree: Maximum Elemental Enhancement!]

[Vanya Style: Wind Type: Reversal Winds!]

Condensed wind elements gathered around Vanyaʼs hands as she punched towards Link, who dived down towards her from the sky.

Although one of her hands was already broken, she wasnʼt going to admit defeat so fast.

The wind elements in Vanyaʼs hand spread around instead of confronting Link head-on, pushing him back.

Linkʼs attack lost power significantly due to that counterwind.

But Vanya didnʼt stop there.

[Vanya Style: Fire Type: Wild Fire!]

Fire elements condensed around Vanyaʼs hand, and she spread them along with the winds that she had created earlier.

The strong wind caused the fire to spread fast, and it fell directly on Link, who had landed on the ground a few meters away.

But Link was simply unfazed by all that.

He didnʼt even bother dodging that wind and fire combo and walked straight towards Vanya with firm and steadfast steps.

Vanya threw massive fire blasts at him, but Link was still unfazed by it all.

Not only is his own defensive power extremely strong, he also has Dao Rhythm now, which makes it really difficult to harm him.

His physique has no weaknesses; temperature fluctuations can do nothing to him at this point.

Even his eyeballs are as strong as his muscles.

This implies that Link has no weak points in his body; he is a walking tank! Unless you are at Liam or Rioʼs level, itʼs really difficult to injure the current Link.

Despite not having Dao Rhythm during the group survival test, Link was still able to tank Rioʼs sword intent, indicating that his defense has become even more ridiculous since acquiring Dao Rhythm.

Vanya was shocked to see Link walk towards her, completely unfazed by all those attacks.

But then she gritted her teeth and placed her hand on her chest.

[Blessing of the World Tree: Self-Heal!]

In a matter of seconds, the blessing of the world tree covered Vanyaʼs body and healed her broken arm.

But before Vanya could even think of her next attack, Link bent his knees a bit and arrived near her in an instant.

ʼSo fast!?ʼ

Vanya had no time to defend herself, as Linkʼs punch was swift and precise. She was taken aback by his speed, and thus her reaction was delayed.

[Dragon Arts: Rising Moonlight!]

Linkʼs punch landed directly on Vanyaʼs stomach, and she flew into the air like an arrow.

”Guh!”

She coughed a mouthful of blood, as several of her ribs and internal organs had broken from that punch.

But Link wasnʼt even done yet.

He stomped on the ground and jumped into the air.

Using Dao Rhythm, he reached the ceiling of the SS-rank barrier at an extremely fast speed.

He clasped his hands together and hit Vanya with them with his full strength!

[Dragon Arts: Shattered Earth Strikes!]

”Gah!”

*Crack!*

Linkʼs attack directly hit Vanya on her back and broke her spine in an instant; moreover, the massive impact from that attack caused her to fly towards the ground at an extremely high speed.

[Dragon Arts: Overload: Heavens Befall!]

Link directly dove down right after Vanya, and when she fell to the ground, he directly hit her with a massively powerful kick right in the same spot on her back.

That attackʼs massive impact created a massive crater on the ground, and the wind pressure was so intense that it caused the ground to crack in every corner.

After all that, Link stood beside Vanya to see if she was still conscious.

It turned out her eyes were still open.

Link was already feeling impatient, so he asked her to admit defeat.

”Do you admit defeat now?”

A smirk appeared on Vanyaʼs face after hearing those words. She placed her trembling hand on her chest and tried to use her ʼself-healʼ ability again, but Link frowned at that and said,

”Donʼt try to be so stubborn...”

Vanya grinned as she heard those words,

”N-not yet... I still have-”

When she tried to stand up, Link hit the back of her head with a light jab, which caused her to faint in an instant.

Once she went unconscious, the match ended in his victory in an instant.

*Surprisingly, the most-awaited match ended in a very fast manner! Who could have thought that even the elven princess wouldnʼt be able to hold a candle against Link Rex!*

Link ignored Vanyaʼs unconscious body that was being teleported to the infirmary and directly started to leave without even bothering to wave at the audience.

The battle only lasted less than five minutes... No, it canʼt even be called a battle at this point; it was just a one-sided beating from Link.

Vanya is not weak; sheʼs probably stronger if you compare her to other excellent students like Arner, Miki, Renna, or even Lia, but in front of Link, she didnʼt have the chance to stand for even five minutes.

During the team battle phase, she was able to hold Link in place because he wanted to have a fair fight, and thus he didnʼt use the ʼDao rhythmʼ on her.

But right now, Link is in a hurry.

He doesnʼt have that much time to waste on the match; he still has to go back and see if Riya has returned.

Itʼs been nearly a whole week now, and he has been feeling extremely uneasy all along; his restlessness isnʼt letting his stay put in one place.

He has already searched all of the waiting area just to look for Riya, just in case she was hiding somewhere in the corner to purposely make him worried.

(Basically, you can say heʼs mentally stressed and doesnʼt have the energy to waste on other things…)

…

Cafeteria

While eating snacks nonchalantly, Lia frowned a bit as she saw how Linkʼs match went.

She put her smartphone down and glanced at Rio.

”He seems impatient and bothered by something, doesnʼt he?”

Rio nodded his head and replied in his usual emotionless tone.

”Usually he doesnʼt use his ʼDao Rhythmʼ so early in a fight, but this time he directly started with that… Itʼs as if he wanted to finish this match fast…”

Hearing Rioʼs words, Liam frowned a bit as he retracted his hand from Ellieʼs mouth. (She asked him to feed her with his own hands…)

”I think I know whatʼs going on with him…”

Liam told Rio and Lia about how he met Link before his own match with Rio.

”He was looking much tensed at that time too… as if he hadnʼt slept for quite a few days… He even seems to have lost some weight overnight…”

Rio frowned after hearing those words.

”Wait, did something happen to Riya? Otherwise, why would he be so tense?”

The first thing Lia and Rio thought about was obviously Riya.

Apart from her, they canʼt really think of any other reason that could cause Link to be so worried.

At Rioʼs question, Liam nodded his head.

”Yeah, he said that Riya hasnʼt returned from her training session for so long now… which is very weird…”

Even Rio nodded his head at those words.

”Yeah… that girl canʼt live without candies and sweets… How come she didnʼt come back occasionally to get some candies from Link…”

Riya had given her whole stock of candies and sweets to Link before she left for training.

She didnʼt want to get distracted by them, so she said that she would come back to get some from Link during breaks in the training session.

But even Riya didnʼt know that she would have no breaks at all and wouldnʼt get to leave directly for a whole week.

Not only did this cause a lot of distress to Riya, but it also caused massive chaos in Linkʼs mind.

Riya had never gone back on her words like this before; this was very weird, and it was hard to digest for Link.

Liam glanced at his smartphone and frowned when he saw Link leave the stadium ground with that stern expression on his face.

”Heʼs really become impatient… This may be bad for you too, Rio… After all, you will be fighting him next…”

Hearing Liamʼs words, Rio didnʼt say much.

”I have fought him in his berserk state before… Itʼs no big deal.”

Liam let out a sigh in response to Rioʼs words.

”Sigh, although you fought him during the New Year festival… Link was not this strong at that time… Right now, I doubt he can already be considered a semi-S ranker when using Dao rhythm to maximum capacity…”

”Even I canʼt guarantee that I can land a proper hit on Link…”

Although Liam has Kaztoʼs spatial warp techniques, those techniques canʼt do much damage to Linkʼs ʼDao Rhythmʼ.

And if Link covers his whole body in Dao Rhythm, then it would be very difficult for Liam to land a proper hit on Link.

Moreover, unlike Rio, Link has extremely high strength.

Linkʼs one punch is capable of directly blasting his summoned beasts to smithereens.

”Also… that fast speed he showed just now… That is definitely a movement art… He wonʼt be too far behind in speed from now on… He likely learned it to counter you specifically…”

Even Rio couldnʼt help but frown at those words.

Link has always considered Rio his rival, so it wasnʼt surprising that he would take some countermeasures against Rioʼs insane speed.

In the first place, Rioʼs movement arts were also given by Link; it wonʼt be surprising if he had a much better one for himself.

All in all, this whole situation only made Rio more excited.

ʼAs we had promised, both of us really ended up reaching the finals…ʼ

Rio and Link had promised to reach the finals, and now that was already done.

All that remained was to engage in combat tomorrow.
