Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 158 The Battle for Perfection... Part-1.

Boss Area, the tomb of perfection.

With his right hand, Rio signaled Link to block the front. (Rio is using sign language to communicate with Link, he doesn't want Rahab to know their plans...)

Link and Rio have been sparring with each other for nearly a year now, they have an amazing mutual understanding between them, and thus they both knew what to do instantly.

Seeing Rio's hand signs as a signal, Link immediately knew what he needed to do.

Link jumped ahead of the whole group and raised his hands in a defensive position.

[Dragon arts: unmovable dragon's pride!]

Mana condensed around Link's body and he stood still like an unmovable mountain. The ground beneath his feet cracked from his condensed aura.

A wide and creepy grin appeared on Rahab's face as he glared at Link with his narrowed eyes.

"Hoho! You think you kids can block my attacks, bahahaha how laughable! A mere B ranker wants to block the attacks of a 'demi-god', bahaha!" (Rahab)

"But oh well... I commend your courage, At least you didn't faint from my mere presence like those lowly humans..." (Rahab)

Rahab glared at Link as if he were looking at his prey.

"But you know what... courage is worthless without the strength to back it up, there's no point in trying to go against an irresistible force without enough strength... isn't it?" (Rahab)

Rahab's eyes glowed red and his demonic aura made everyone feel nauseated.

He was a demon after all, he felt joy at killing millions of innocent dark elves, and even in his own near-death state, he still wanted to enjoy torturing others.

'As described in the ... demons of this world are not compatible to live with other races...' (Rio)

'Only by exterminating each one of them from this world, can other races exist peacefully... As mentioned in the , their existence itself is like cancer for this world....' (Rio)

Demons of this world are cunning and sadistic beings that take joy in other's misery and pain. They sometimes even kill each other for entertainment.

They like to hunt and torture the tribes of lower demons just for fun. Various records say that there's no proper civilization on the demon continent either.

Various demon generals rule large areas under the supreme ruler the 'Demon King' and his children are considered the royal demons.

Even 'Demon King' is also just a 'title'.

Any other demon can go and challenge the current Demon King for his title and engage in a duel for the throne.

Demons follow orders of the demon king only because of 'fear', they have no such concept called 'Loyalty' and 'Camaraderie' among them.

Only 'fear of death' can make them follow someone's order, once they are not fearful of someone, they don't hesitate to kill them off either.

(Succubus and beautiful demon girls exist in this world too, but they are evil and sadistic beings that prey on the life force and emotions of their victims, don't even think about having a demon waifu, she will suck your life force dry in one go...)

...

Rahab stretched his hand back and closed his fist.

"Hehe, die!" (Rahab)

With a creepy smile on his handsome-looking face, Rahab punched toward Link.

Rahab can't use any skills or any techniques that involve mana consumption because his mana core is shattered and there's a hole in his chest which is half a meter in diameter.

Thus he is attacking with just pure physical strength.

The punch was so fast that it was impossible to see it from the eyes of an ordinary person. It was instantaneous.

[Concentration!]

[Sword Intent!]

[Elemental Sword Arts: Wind type: Wind dragon's roar!]

Before the punch could land on Link's chest, Rio's sword descended at Rahab's hand with an extremely fast speed.

The 'Sword intent' condensed and amplified the attack to the extreme.

A wind dragon seems to have appeared behind Rio's sword attack.

The attack landed on Rahab's hand and blocked the punch from landing. The air pressure created by that sword attack was so strong that it split the altar and the ceiling in two.

Moonlight shined from the cracks that were created in the ceiling by Rio's attack.

Rio's attack was indeed strong, even a peak A-ranker could not have withstood that attack. But Rahab's hand didn't even have a scratch on it from that attack.

"Useless! Your attacks are useless against me! Even if I can't use mana, don't forget I am still an SS-ranker, my physical capabilities have already broken through the 'limiter' two times, hahahaha!" (Rahab)

Without any delay, Rahab's other hand punched towards Rio, with insane speed.

"Hmph! I won't let you attack either then!" (Link)

Link crossed his both arms around his chest and blocked the punch directly with his own body.

The demon smiled playfully at this and increased his strength a bit. (Keep in mind, Rahab is not serious right now, he is not even using his full strength in these attacks...)ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

Even Rio was not able to react to that speed on time and the punch landed right on Link's crossed hand.

*Creak*

"Gah!" (Link)

Even with Link's superior defense, withstanding the direct punch from a 'Demi-god' was still too much for him.

His hands that were crossed around his chest had their bones shattered instantly and even several of his rib bones shattered from the impact alone.

Link was sent flying by the impact of that punch and directly collided with the wall. He immediately fell unconscious from that one attack as he got embedded in the wall.

His unconscious body fell to the ground with a 'thud' sound.

Seeing this scene everyone felt that their situation was indeed grim for the first time.

(This is the first time they have seen Link being defeated with just one attack. Link being defeated was already an extremely grim situation…)

"Link!" (Riya)

A concerned look appeared on Riya's face when she saw that Link was injured. She hurried toward Link to heal him.

But obviously, Rahab wasn't going to let her go so easily either.

"kekeke! Die!" (Rahab)

With the same strength he had punched Link, Rahab kicked at Riya. If his attack had landed he would have killed Riya in one attack.

[Elemental Sword Arts: Thousand Lunar Descensions!]

Rio's sword condensed with sword intent, swung a thousand times in just a matter of half a second.

Each attack was so 'deadly' and 'precise' that it didn't even disturb the air in the surroundings.

(Usual attacks cause great wind pressure to be generated due to the fast movements of the sword, but when your sword intent is extremely condensed to the point that it can slice through the wind and mana itself)

(At that extreme point, your mana doesn't disturb the surroundings and seems like a mere casual slash that contains insane power and speed. With his condensed 'Sword Intent' Rio reached that realm after he became an A-ranker…)

"Useless! Your attacks are too slow!" (Rahab)

Rahab's figure flashed and he dodged all a thousand sword strikes easily. He made it look so easy as if he was taking a stroll in a park.

'Too fast! as expected of an SS-ranker…' (Rio)

'but I stopped his attack from landing on that candy girl nonetheless…' (Rio)

While Rio was a bit relieved, Rahab changed his target immediately to Rio and he punched in Rio's direction instead, his punch went straight for Rio's head.

Rio immediately channeled his mana in his shadow ring and wore his shadow robe. The robe immediately covered Rio's whole body. (Including his face too..)

The punch directly went through Rio's head but due to the shadow robe he had no injury, he escaped that attack without any damage.

"Kekeke! You really have a lot of strange tricks up your sleeve little guy! Not only do you have that 'Golden' bast*rd's sword! You also have that sneaky rat 'Lamont's' robe too!" (Rahab)

"You are indeed a very interesting rat! I will savor every bit of you! I will tear each of your limbs one by one and torture you for years! Bahahaha!" (Rahab)

Hearing Rahab's crazy laughter, a smirk appeared on Rio's face that was hidden under the robe.

'Heh, as I thought, it's quite easy to get these demons into a crazed frenzy, they have an extremely unstable personality after all…' (Rio)

From the start, Rio already knew that all demons have an extremely unstable and chaotic personality. They get into a crazed frenzy at the smallest amount of excitement given to them.

The more crazed and chaotic an individual the more flawed their attacks would become. Thus giving more chances to attack for a speed-type warrior like Rio.

'Demon or not… those who can't keep their head cool amidst the battlefield can't live for long...' (Rio)

Escaping that punch easily, Rio put his sword in a horizontal stance and swung it at an extremely fast speed.

[Sword Intent!]

It seems from the moment Rahab entered the place, Rio was already aiming for this. He had already speculated that the only way for him to defeat Rahab was when his guard was down.

[Ultimate skill: Soul Splitting!]
