Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 450: Alverto: Origins. Part-4.

’So her name is Aurora... Aurora means ’Dawn,’ and a literal God gave this name to her. is there some hidden meaning behind this?’

’I have a bad feeling about this...’

Rio already knew that he won’t be able to find what Alverto and Aurora gained from this memory, as it was impossible to spy on the scene when that being was talking with the two of them in their sea of consciousness.

But he can still gather information from their conversation and changes in their physique.

Aurora was originally just an ordinary demonic werewolf, but she seemed to have achieved a complete evolution in terms of life hierarchy; her life level has improved.

She’s become stronger, and perhaps she has even inherited some kind of ancient knowledge during the process of bloodline evolution from miasmic corruption.

Originally, she couldn’t even speak, as she didn’t know any languages.

Even her fellow werewolves only cooperated completely based on instincts, just like ordinary animals in a forest.

But now she can speak fluently and can even use several types of magic without any problem, as if she’s received a massive amount of knowledge and experience directly in her mind.

What was the most bizarre, though, was her overly kind personality.

Even in his dreams, Rio never considered that perhaps ’kind’ demons can also exist, because just the thought of that was absurd.

Demons are synonymous with chaos and violence; they have no sympathy for even their own children, let alone others.

’Moreover, she’s been heavily corrupted by miasma and has even come in contact with that being, yet she is still able to maintain her kind personality?’

’How is this even possible?’

’It’s almost as if the side-effects of being heavily corrupted by miasma aren’t even working on her...’

’That’s weirdly familiar... that kind of situation is... is like me! I don’t get affected by miasma mainly because of ’true immunity’ and some other mysterious reason that I don’t know about...’

True immunity does counter miasma and corruption, but it doesn’t give a person the ability to use miasma like a demon.

Rio has also been confused about why he can use miasma so efficiently despite not being a demon himself, and he hasn’t been able to find out the reason behind this phenomenon until now.

’No... I can use miasma like mana... when she used miasma to make her magic work earlier, her miasma was indeed trying to corrupt her...’

As Rio has ascended to Rank-S, his sense of intuition has become extremely sharp, and he has a feeling that there’s something more to it.

’The corruption is being blocked by something... I feel that there’s definitely something that’s unique about her; a normal being wouldn’t have such powerful resistance to miasmic corruption...’

While Rio was busy contemplating about various things in his mind, Aurora used a spoon and fed the soup to Alverto with a gentle smile on her face.

She even blew on the spoon to make sure that the soup wasn’t too hot before feeding him carefully.

Seeing this scene, a complicated look appeared on Rio’s face.

’This... This makes her seem like a virtuous wife who’s taking care of her sick husband...’

Not only were the two of them alone in that small house, but it was also snowing outside.

Looking at it from another perspective, this scene looked quite similar to what those romance movies have.

’Ugh... This is making me feel lonely, sigh... I miss my girlfriend...’

Thankfully Rio had no connections to this memory fragment, and the two in the house could not perceive his existence and thus didn’t notice him spying on their private life.

’I feel like a third wheel in this situation...’

He was more like an observer to this already forgotten past; he can’t influence anything in this memory and can’t change what’s already happened.

’I want to finish work fast and go home to cuddle my wife... my girlfriend I mean...’

Unaware of Rio’s suffering, Aurora slowly fed all of the soup to Alverto while talking about various things with a happy look on her face.

If someone doesn’t know that she’s a demon beforehand and looks at her right now, they might mistake her for a normal girl who’s in love and is taking care of her beloved.

Her every action was elegant and gentle.

She used a towel to wipe Alverto’s mouth after feeding him, then put the blanket over him before patting his head and leaving to do the dishes.

’Just marry him already! Sh*t! Why do I have to watch this! Ugh...’

Not only Rio, but Alverto himself was shocked to the core.

The look of shock was literally pasted on his face; his eyes were opened with a look of disbelief in them.

He just couldn’t believe his eyes and couldn’t fathom why Aurora was so kind and why she was behaving this way.

To a demon, this behavior was extremely bizarre, even eerie, in fact.

Alverto was so used to betrayals, violence, and cruelty that he felt uncomfortable all over when someone showed so much kindness to him.

No matter how many doubts he had, there was no way to find an answer for them immediately, so he could only stay still and accept Aurora’s kindness.

Due to the fatal injuries sustained while escaping and having come in contact with a powerful being’s existence directly, he was in a very bad state.

Aurora received that being’s favor and improved but didn’t even show any signs of any kind of physical problems.

Alverto couldn’t understand why she was fine even after coming in contact with such a powerful being when he himself was suffering severe backlash and was having so many hardships.

Even his injuries worsened and his soul nearly shattered from miasmic corruption and that being’s pressure when he came in contact with it.

But Aurora was completely fine; in fact, the power that should have made her suffer even enhanced her physique, which is even more absurd.

Not even royal demons are so resistant to miasmic corruption that they can ignore such highly severe side effects.

Alverto knew that if Aurora had any bad intentions, she could have easily ended his life with her newly learned magic, as he couldn’t even move to defend himself.

Thus, there was no point in resisting, so he just stopped thinking about this matter and didn’t question Aurora anymore.

He just slept and tried to recover as fast as possible.

Time flew by, and a few months passed.

The time in the memory fragment accelerated and directly took Rio to the time period of several months later, so he didn’t have to wait for several months himself.

During these few months, Alverto mostly ate, told Aurora stories about the demon continent and the outside, and slept to recover fast.

As a royal demon, who got immense knowledge from a higher being, he was able to awaken his hidden talents, and his recovery speed increased tremendously.

He was no longer that same talentless demon anymore; he no longer needed to run away from a duel like a coward to save his life.

With his current talents, he could become stronger and could fight while being proud of his strength.

’So this is the time when he awakened his ’Soul Resonance’ legendary skill and improved his mastery over his spear art...’

’His hidden talent, which is related to ’Time’ also seems to have awakened in this time frame...’

Watching Alverto’s transformation from the very beginning, Rio figured out everything easily.

’Looking at it like this, it won’t be wrong to say that the moment Alverto came in contact with that being, his life completely changed and took a 180-degree turn for better...’

’Perhaps in the original, he died from his fatal injuries and never came in contact with that higher being; then there would have been no such demon prince in the world...’

’Aurora is just as much bizarre as him; her existence is also very mysterious...’

Although Rio finally found out about Alverto’s origins, he was still very confused about many things, and a lot of important questions still remained unanswered.

’Now that he’s recovered, what will he do? Will he leave to fight his siblings or stay with Aurora?’

’Their situation right now seems extremely familiar to those family drama and soap opera scenarios...’

Aside from everything else, Rio noticed one more bizarre thing: the two of them didn’t mention that being even once despite the fact that they both knew about it and had received great help from it.

Although time was accelerated and most of the repetitive things were completely skipped from this memory fragment, Rio was still able to grasp most of it.

Being an S ranker, his brain is extremely powerful, and it’s no big deal to understand everything in the memory fragment despite it being so fast and rushed.

Several months passed in the memory; Alverto recovered to full health, and the relationship between him and Aurora became more and more harmonious, but the two never even mentioned the existence of that being.

It was as if they were avoiding that topic on purpose; they refused to talk about it and only talked about various irrelevant things all the time.

Seeing this situation, a thought appeared in Rio’s mind.

’Don’t tell me that any random mention of that being’s name or existence will spell trouble and they don’t want that so they are consciously avoiding it...’

Rio has read countless novels in his past life; he knows that there are some characters that are so powerful that if you just say their name out loud, then they immediately notice you.

’If it is something like that, then I must not speak about that ’being’ out loud and not mention it to anyone either to avoid trouble...’
