Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 506
Chapter 506: The Counter-Plan. Part-1.
The flow of mana in the area changed and entered Maru’s body, making him stronger and more powerful than ever before; he felt as if he had been reborn into a completely different being.
His entire body felt light and powerful, and his mind was clearer than ever before.
Everyone present in the hall was shocked by this sudden change, and even the S-rank Orc was taken aback for a second before his mind was consumed by anger and mockery.
“Ahahaha! Even if you become an awakener now, what difference will it make! You will still be just the lowest-level scum!”
“There will be no one who can save you from me today! I will slaughter you and make you all understand what it means to defy me!”
The Orc S-ranker tried to punch Maru, who was in the middle of his awakening state, but his fist didn’t move at all.
He was confused for a second and looked down, only to notice that the blue-haired boy that Xagu had brought just half an hour ago was stopping his palm from moving.
His hand seemed so small compared to the giant Orc arm, but that small arm seemed to be full of strength, and the Orc could not break free of it.
Before he could understand anything, he saw the young man smile and speak in an emotionless tone.
“Yeah, there will be no one coming to save us all, because, the saviour is already here…”
Bolts like lightning flashed on the young man’s body, his hair color changed to dark black, and his pupils turned dark black at the same time.
His height increased, and his clothes changed to create an intricate dark robe with the design of a sword on its back.
The mana in the entire hall stirred, and a pressure so overwhelming that it suppressed every orc and awakener in the area appeared at that moment.
The orc watched in horror as his entire body became stiff due to the invasion of a violent power entering his body.
“T-this raging thunder-like energy… This is… ‘Sword Intent’!? Y-you are…?!?!…”
The dark-haired young man waved his other arm, and a pitch-black sword shining with the purplish glow of miasma appeared in his hand.
A wide and evil grin appeared on the young man’s face as he glanced at the Orc S-ranker and spoke in a mocking tone.
“Surprise mother*ckers!”
…
An hour ago, in a shady street somewhere in a border town.
Xagu, an Orc warrior, was cautiously retreating towards the hidden base.
He had received the retreat message very late because he was hiding underground to avoid being caught by a crazed lunatic who was searching every nook and cranny for criminals.
He was forced to go into hiding without any means to communicate with the outside world and find out what was going on outside as he wanted to completely isolate himself to prevent getting tracked by that lunatic.
Due to this reason, he got delayed; he only found out about the retreat message when he came out from hiding to find something to deal with his boredom.
He decided to retreat towards the hidden base according to the orders, but he was extremely unlucky that day.
He happened to take a shady street to cross the border town while staying as low as possible, and that lunatic Rio was squatting right there in the middle of that shady street.
As if waiting for him, the lunatic grinned creepily and spoke in a voice so devoid of emotions that it made Xagu feel chills run down his spine.
“Yo! I have been waiting for you. I even thought up of several poses to ‘Aura Farm’ while waiting for you, but then I thought it might be better to pretend to be a local bully instead…”
“So, here we are. you have entered this shady street like a cute little innocent girl who’s oblivious of the dangerous world… Now obviously, as a big bad bully I will do what any professional bully dedicated to his job would do…”
The lunatic wriggled his hands in a creepy manner, making Xagu feel uncomfortable all over his body, which caused goosebumps to appear on his entire body.
“I will do ‘bad’ things to you, hehe… very very ‘bad’ things… keke…”
That sentence felt very uncomfortable to hear, and Xagu, a grown a*s Orc, who’s three meters tall, felt insecure like an innocent young girl who’s being threatened by a bad person.
Before Xagu could even think about resisting, he felt a stinging pain assault his chest.
His eyes widened in horror as his entire body went stiff and he lost control of his mana.
‘Sword Intent,’ so powerful that it could easily shatter his internal organs, invaded his brain and completely shattered his brain from inside his skull.
The odd thing was that there were no injuries or effects visible from the outside, but from the inside, Xagu’s internal organs were smashed into paste by Rio’s violent sword intent.
“Let’s try what I learned from Snegnar…”
Rio pushed light elementals around his body and sword and controlled them with his thoughts.
Then he wrapped Xagu’s internal body with those light elementals and used sword intent to suppress his presence and raging aura.
“Done!”
Without even a single mistake, Rio gained control of Xagu’s body and made him his ‘mindless puppet’ on the spot by shattering his mind and destroying his soul.
He used light elementals mixed with sword intent as a ‘thread’ similar to Snegnar’s and used them to control Xagu’s body like a puppet; the only difference was that Rio could control those threads with just his thoughts alone.
After all, no matter where his sword intent is thrown, it will still maintain a slight connection with him, and light elementals are very easy to ignore, as they are present everywhere.
Light elementals are the greatest in number in every environment, as they make everything bright and make it possible for sunlight to appear.
Rio hid his controlling threads in that light elemental abundance, using his sword intent to suppress his own aura among them.
It was a very difficult and incredible feat, but Rio was able to do it because of his immense sword talent, control over many elements, and powerful sword intent.
“Now, you will bring me to your base…”
Rio read the memories of the shattered soul and mind in Xagu body and then easily figured out the exact location and information of the hidden base through him.
Then he used light elementals to cover his entire body and change his entire body structure in such a way that no one would be able to recognize him.
In fact, Rio hadn’t really changed his body; he had just changed how he would look in others’ eyes using the light elementals.
People’s eyes only capture photons of light and interpret them to understand what they saw; Rio used the powers of light elementals to change what others will interpret after seeing him.
When in reality he looked exactly the same as he always did.
Rio smirked to himself and grinned.
“Get ready; this Uncle Santa is bringing you all an awesome gift!”
…
Back to current time.
“AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! GAHHHHHH!!!!”
The orc S-ranker felt immense horror and fear grip his heart as his entire body was pumped full of violent sword intent.
[Sword Intent: Forced Overload!]
*BOOOM!*
The orc’s body could not withstand that much sword intent being forcefully pumped into his body, and it burst apart like a balloon popping after being filled with too much air.
His innards flew in all directions and smeared the entire area with blood, but Rio himself remained spotless, as his body was protected with sword intent.
All the Orc warriors felt a chill run down their spines as their faces went pale in fear.
“Quick! Notify the Orc King! That monstrosity is already here! Quic-”
Before the other party could finish his words, his head flew in the air, and his body fell down lifelessly while spraying blood everywhere like a fountain.
[Sword Intent!]
[Elemental Sword Art: Thunder Type: Thousand Twist Thunder Dragon!]
Rio’s sword created an image of a long, Eastern-style dragon covered in thunder with the thunder elementals as he struck the orc warriors and other awakeners with hundreds of thousands of sword attacks.
Some of them were chopped to pieces like sliced vegetables, some died from powerful thunder shocks mixed with sword intent, and some directly blew apart as they couldn’t even withstand that overwhelming power.
The scene became a carnival for Rio, and he slaughtered every single member of the organization mercilessly.
The dozen S-rank criminals tried to resist Rio’s attack and escape while dodging, but before they could do anything, the entire underground base trembled like crazy.
*TREMBLE* *SHATTER*
The entire base was pulled upward from the ground and was dug out of the ground with sheer force.
Sunlight entered through the ceiling that got destroyed almost instantly by that powerful pulling force.
The criminal S-rankers looked at the sky and saw Raji standing there using powerful psychokinesis to dig out the entire base.
