Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 656: Bela Anant! Part-1.

*Chirp* *Chirp*

Hearing the sounds of birds chirping nearby, Lia slowly opened her eyes.

Her entire body felt extremely relaxed, and a lazy mood took over her as she slowly rubbed her sleepy eyes.

”Yawnnn~...”

After stretching her lazy body and yawning in sleepiness, Lia suddenly noticed that she was actually lying down on soft, lush grass.

As she sat up, she found herself in a massive grassland with nothing but flowers and fragrant plants everywhere.

The place looked so beautiful that Lia almost thought that she was back to Kenorland!

But then she remembered that the entire landscape of Kenorland was completely destroyed in the final battle, so there’s no way that such beautiful scenery could have been restored so easily.

”Hmm? Wh-where am I?”

Just as Lia felt bewildered and confused as to what was going on, a pleasant and gentle voice entered her ears.

”This is a memory I stored behind in a distant past... this place used to my parent’s private farmland... we used to grow flowers here, many types of flowers...”

Hearing that unknown voice, Lia looked to her side only to see that an extremely beautiful woman with brownish hair and a greenish aura radiating from her body was sitting beside Lia.

Her hair and pupils, and even her looks, were so perfect that she seemed like a goddess that had descended into the mortal world!

Her facial features seemed to match the little girl ’Bela’ that Lia had seen in the temple of nature.

”Are you ’Bela’? The girl that was under Nova’s care?”

Hearing Lia’s questions, the woman smiled and replied in a gentle voice,

”Yes, Nova, she’s like a mother to me... it’s been so long since then...”

The woman’s voice was strangely very comforting to the ears; it was almost as if Lia were being embraced by the warm and gentle hands of her mother. She felt extremely relaxed and peaceful in the presence of that woman.

The woman calling herself Bela smiled at Lia with a cheerful smile on her face and spoke in a gentle tone.

”Welcome to my memory, Lia Silver. I am Bela Anant. People refer to me with many titles across the world...”

”I personally do not consider myself worthy of such great titles; all I want is to save as many people as possible...”

”You may not know me by my real name, but I guess you will recognize me if I tell you one of my titles...”

With a comforting and gentle look on her face, Bela spoke.

”I am Bela Anant, more commonly known as ’Astra, The Goddess of Protection and Cure,’ and I have summoned you here to converse with you briefly...”

”This dungeon you are inside was modified by my close friend King Allen von Reinhart so that I can imbue it with a certain memory of mine... You are inside that memory, Lia Silver.”

Lia’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief the moment she heard those words.

”You are the legendary healer ’Astra’!? The woman who’s respected by the entire world and has been feared by the entire demon race even more than King Allen himself!?”

Astra is a world-renowned figure from a long-gone past; even after a thousand years of her death, she’s still extremely famous for her great deeds.

Tales and stories about her feats are still sung by many in the world, and her name is still respected to this day by the entire human race.

The human continent is called ’Astrum,’ and even the capital city of the nation is called ’Astra.’ Beings all across the world refer to humans as ’Children of Astra.’

This is all to pay respect to this legendary being who saved countless lives and changed the flow of the world by her power!

The titles Astra had were just too many to count.

’The First Awakener,’ ’The Goddess of Healing,’ ’The Maiden of Nature,’ ’The Favored of the World,’ etc. The list goes on and on.

Even King Allen Von Reinhart did not have as many titles as Astra had.

She was the first person to awaken and start the era of Awakeners for the human race; she was the first healer in existence, and she was the first blessed of the ’World’.

Fairies that believed in the ’World’ treated her as the maiden of nature, as she had immense affinity with nature and healing magic.

Even fairies could not compare to her in terms of healing magic mastery!

Even the small pockets in the spirit realm where all divine spirits and neutral spirits live were created by her!

She literally fought miasma to create new hope for countless living creatures and was the greatest ’Saint’ like existence that the world had ever seen.

It was really hard to believe that Lia was now meeting that legendary existence in person!

”To think that little shy girl that was hiding behind Nova meekly was actually the younger version of the legendary healer Astra...”

Lia found it quite hard to believe.

”Haha, yeah... I was quite a shy and introverted when I was young... Also, I was very afraid of humans back then because of my past experiences...”

Bela smiled at Lia’s words and spoke,

”I was actually very afraid of blood and conflicts back in those days, but you get used to these things as you get older and gather more experience...”

”King Allen was actually a mischievous brat that liked to play pranks on his friends before he eventually became the strongest being of the universe!”

Seeing the surprised but curious look on Lia’s face, Bela explained,

”Even the commonly known name ’Astra’ is actually a title of mine.”

”Right now we are talking in ’Ezkina,’ but back in those days there were many different languages among humans and the word ’Astra’ meant ’weapon.’...”

Bela shook her head and spoke further.

”Unlike popular belief, I do not personally like being called ’Astra’; after all, I got this title because people started seeing me as a perfect ’weapon’ against demons, miasma and corruption...”

”My real name that was given by my loving parents is ’Bela Anant.’ Bela is the forgotten name of a flower called ’Jasmine’ that my parents used to like, and ’Anant’ means infinite...”

”My parents grew uncountable number of Jasmine flowers in their farm; thus, I got named ’Bela Anant’... I like this name more than any of my titles...”
