Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 103 The Sword King! Part-1

Inside the SSA.

Pov Team 2.

'I must keep running, I must not let him down, I have to get away, as far as possible…' (Qi Meng)

Haa*haa*huff*

Qi Meng glanced at the martial artist girl running ahead of him, it seemed there would be no problem for her to keep going. She doesn't seem to be tired at all. But the problem is that the mage guy, he is slow and is falling behind.

"Hey! Keep up with us! We don't have much time! Senior Rio may be able to keep them at bay, but even the wind pressure from their attacks can be dangerous for us newbies!" (Meng)

"Huff* huff* y-yeah…" 

The mage replied as such, but Meng was not sure about it, he shook his head and slowed his speed a little, leaving your teammate behind is not his way of doing things.

Just as Meng was about to slow down a little he felt his danger-sensing instincts tingle, he instantly laid down head faced on the ground to avoid the incoming attack but the other two didn't react so fast. Instead, it would have been strange if they were able to react to such a fast projectile coming their way.

"ack!..."

lightsnοvεl The golden projectile directly pierced the mage guy right through the stomach, a teleportation circle appeared under the feet of the injured guy and he was immediately teleported away.

[Announcement! Lia Silver has eliminated one of the four traitors!]

[Traitors eliminated 1/4. Remaining time: 35min. 45 sec.]

The one percent attacks of Lia that Rio missed due to Link's interference were enough to eliminate one of the members of team 2.

After the attacks passed away Meng got up and brought his sword out of its sheath:

"This isn't good…" (Meng)

Meng looked at the trees in front of him and the newbies of the other team were sitting on them, looking down at him with cold eyes. Meng saw a cold-faced boy and a pink-haired girl, who must be team 1's members. 

The pink-haired girl among them said in a mocking tone:

"Hah! Senior Link was right, it was good to separate and go after them on our own, and we found them so easily!" (Lenn)

As Lenn said that she punched her fists against each other and with an excited smile on her face she jumped down from the tree.

Meng glanced at his other teammate, but it seemed the previous attack still injured her left hand even after barely dodging it. Meng shouted at the girl.

"Hey, how about you take care of that girl, I will take care of the other guy-" (Meng)

But before Meng could say anything, an arrow flew out from the distance and directly pierced the girl in the back, she directly fainted on the spot, and a mouth of blood flowed from her small mouth. She was also teleported away instantly.

[Announcement! Leo Roserolt has eliminated one of the four traitors!]

[Traitors eliminated 2/4. Remaining time: 34min. 41 sec.]

'Sh*t! there's an archer hiding!' (Meng)

[Body strengthening- hearing enhancement!]

Using the hearing enhancement, Meng barely dodged the arrows coming his way from the dark. 

"Where are you looking!? I am right here!" (Lenn)

[Sakura pearl martial arts: First flower fall!]

Lenn's punch was incredibly fast and Meng was caught off-guard, he tried to defend himself with his sword but obviously, he wasn't fast enough, the punch's trajectory deviated mid-attack and he was hit on the left side of his stomach, the impact caused him to flew away and collide with the tree behind him.

"Ugh!.." (Meng)

Three rib bones broke from that one attack. Don't underestimate Lenn just because she is a girl, she has amazing strength and she is an accomplished martial artist too.

"hahaha, our victory is just a matter of time!" (Lenn)

Lenn looked at Ars with a mocking tone as if to say that she was much better than him, but Ars didn't pay it any attention and just stood on the tree branch with his eyes closed and just started to take a rest right there. 

"tsk…" (Lenn)

Seeing his nonchalant reaction, Lenn was bored, she looked towards where Leo was hiding and shouted:

"Hey, you can come back now!" (Lenn)

Meng held his sword with his trembling hands and slowly got up.

'I can't lose here, at least not yet… Senior Rio will be disappointed in me if I fall so easily!' (Meng)

'I can't lose it all again!' (Meng)

Suddenly, Meng felt someone pulling his shirt's collar, he was lifted off the ground before him even being able to react, he felt the air pressure against his face, and everything around him blurred all of a sudden.

"Wh-what!?" (Meng)

Just when he was confused he found himself standing on a large stone and a familiar voice entered his ears.

"Take this healing potion…" (Rio)

Meng looked at Rio in shock for a few seconds, and then he took the potion from his hand. Meng noticed that Rio's left eye was closed and blood dripped from his head. His face was smeared with blood.

Even the hand holding the potion was covered in blood.

"uh Do you not need this potion, Senior?" (Meng)

Rio looked at him with his usual expressionless face and replied:

"Such a small wound is nothing to me, I have dealt with much worse than this… Don't waste time and heal fast…" (Rio)

Meng didn't ask any more questions and drank the potion under Rio's intimidating pressure. His injuries healed and he was finally able to stop his hands from trembling.

"It seems we will not be able to keep our distance from them anymore… get ready for a long fight, you will have to deal with the newbies of the other teams, on your own, don't be too serious, just try your best… leave the rest to me…" (Rio)

Hearing Rio's encouraging words Meng became more determined and held his sword tightly in his hands.

"By the way, let me give you one crucial advice, try to be one with the flow of your technique and stop trying to go against it to control it forcefully…" (Rio)

Meng was startled by the sudden advice, but he remembered it in his heart for the time being and nodded his head.

"You can't run from your doom!" (Lia)

Lia appeared in the sky, her silver wings shined and her sword shined brightly with a silver glow, her golden hair had turned silver in color due to her silver bloodline, waving in the air gracefully and her eyes shined with determination.

Link fell from the sky and landed on the ground perfectly like a hero of justice entering the battlefield. Dense mana swirled around him and his aura seemed to be trying to intimidate every being that stood against him.

The black clouds in the sky started to become denser and lightning raged like the roar of a dragon.

All of a sudden the surroundings darkened even further and a huge dragon made of shadows appeared out of thin air, as if it had teleported here. Liam and his team members stood on its back.

The dragon landed and the newbies got down from its back, but Liam stayed on its back.

"This is the end Rio! There's nowhere to run anymore! We have surrounded you from all sides, it's better to surrender now!" (Link)

As Link said all the newbies from the three teams encircled Rio and Meng from each direction. The situation has become dire instantly. If it was any other student they would have already surrendered after seeing this insanely strong lineup.

Rio looked at Meng and said in an emotionless voice:

"They are here it seems…" (Rio)

Looking at Rio's indifferent expression, Meng gained confidence too.

'I must not disappoint his trust in me…' (Meng)

As Meng focused on the opponents he failed to notice that a small white spark had appeared on his weak sword aura.

"Let's start the party…" (Rio)

…

…

Outside the SSA, the General's residence, Meeting hall.

"So, it seems that Liam's strongest summoned beast was not that wyvern, but a true shadow dragon, this is quite surprising…" (Ashtel)

Hearing him Neo nodded his head and replied:

"Right, even I was surprised when he was successfully able to contract such a strong summon at such a young age, he has extraordinary talent after all…" (Neo)

"Hmm, that shadow dragon may be the best counter for Rio's sword intent, after shadow type being has increased resistance to physical type attacks, if Rio was an A rank, then perhaps his sword intent would have been strong enough to fight a shadow dragon I think." (Ashtel)

"Indeed, it seems this might be the end of this battle now. The situation is just too unfavorable for Rio's group now…" (Neo)

Everyone in the meeting hall looked at the oncoming fight with great anticipation. 

"But who knows, that kid Rio is also talented…" (Neo)

…
