Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 359: Ordinary days in the Festival... Part-4.



Great Dragon Festival, Central City.

In an Amusement Park.

Sitting on a merry-go-round type spinning tea cup ride, Liam was chugging down a can of juice.

"So what I am trying to say is that with my mana field, I can now deploy a small field where I can use all the mana in the area and replenish my own mana faster..."

"For now, my mastery over it is too low, so I can't use much of it, but I guess I will be able to use all types of magic eventually once I have more mastery over it..."

"It can boost magic, can help me use the powers of my summons without summoning them, and can even help me increase the summoning speed..."

"Moreover, with mana field, I now have insanely high control over mana; I can replenish my mana faster than I can ever use it, so technically I will never run out of mana anymore..."

Liam was so excited about his newly learned ability that he was chugging down several cans of juice and praising his skill more and more, while Rio and Link both were silently taking notes on it.

They both knew that they might have to fight Liam again someday, so it is good to take notes when the other party himself is spilling all the secrets like crazy.

"I think that once I have perfected my master over the mana field, I will be able to control the law of mana itself! How amazing is that! At that point I can increase and decrease mana in a place at my will!"

Liam was already seeing his bright future now; once he perfects his mana field, he can directly control the law of mana and change the mana flow of a whole solar system in a matter of seconds.

Although he still needs to reach the peak of Rank SS, this legendary skill will undoubtedly make him a formidable powerhouse in the future.

Originally, Rio defeated him in the tournament due to his slow summoning speed, but now that he has a mana field, he can summon tens of hundreds of beasts in a single breath.

Moreover, it would be near impossible for him to run out of mana now, so the delaying tactics won't work on him; even the magic he will use will be boosted more than ten times over.

With the addition of just one legendary skill, Liam became nearly a hundred times stronger than he originally was. The current Liam can beat hundreds of Liam's from a few days ago, easily.

'I am still struggling with my own internal conflicts, and look at this.. These guys are making such rapid progress... Sigh, I guess this is the sad life of an extra...'

'Problems arise at every turn and slow down my progress...'

Fortunately, Rio has now found a 'Backup plan' for himself.

'First I will find that 'mysterious' reason that started my problem of fading emotions... Once I am done dealing with it, I will need to somehow get rid of this fragment..'

'Lastly, I will establish a connection with the consciousness of 'shadow' and then I will be able to borrow emotions from him... That way, I will be able to master my sword intent, and things will remain okay enough for me...'

There is a lot on Rio's plate right now; he has no idea where to start his plan.

In the first place, he has no idea what the origin of this strange phenomenon is, and without knowing what it actually is, Rio will have no idea how to solve it.

'Aside from all this, I still need to find the origin of my sword... Sigh, there's just too much to do, and I have a very small amount of time left...'

The mana density is rising fast every day, which means the day of calamity is getting closer and closer day by day.

'It won't be long before the very first SSS rank dungeon opens... Just two or three years are left...'

It's already been more than two years since Rio came into this world, and even with all his efforts and insane talents, he has only reached the peak of rank A by now.

If he doesn't reach at least rank SS in the next two or three years, he will really have no way to counter that calamity.

While Rio was busy contemplating various things in his mind, Link couldn't sit still and also started bragging about his skills to show off in front of Liam.

"You are still far behind when it comes to mastery over a legendary skill. I have been training my Dao Rhythm for nearly a year now; you still have a long way to go, kiddo~"

Liam also didn't back down after hearing Link's words and replied in a mocking tone. "Hehe, unlike you, I have a smart brain; I will comprehend and improve much faster than you... You have been training for a year and yet haven't even mastered it by fifty percent!"

"That's such a waste of a legendary skill! Bahahaha!!"

Link clenched his fist and glared at Liam,

"What did you say? Are you itching for a beating?"

Liam also glared back and replied without backing down.

"Now that I also have a legendary skill, I won't need to be at a disadvantage when fighting you... So it's not really set in stone who will get a beating from who..."

Just when the fight was about to escalate, Link caught sight of Riya and others who were coming this way after finishing their shopping spree.

So he calmed his anger and sat down on his seat.

Liam also stopped bickering, and the place became awkwardly silent.

Rio simply shook his head at this scene, musing to himself.

'Er... I am not sure if I can really rely on these guys to counter great calamities...'

[You really have made some amazing friends... come to think of it, you don't seem the type to get angry at all...]

Just as Rio thought that things would finally be a bit quiet, the voice of shadow rang out in his head.

'You are already awake? Didn't you expend a lot of energy trying to control the body?'

'Also... actually, I used to get angry at a lot of things before... It's just that I can't feel anger anymore...'

The thing is, whenever Shadow uses emotions while in control of his body, he accumulates a lot of mental stress and goes into hibernation again.

After controlling the body for a while and giving Lia a massive smile, he directly went into sleep, and Rio took over the body again.

Now it seems he's awake.

[Ah, I see... No wonder you never bother bickering with anyone and seem so calm all the time...]

[Even that time when you got angry on that Demon Prince clone... that was likely a response from my hidden consciousness...]

'Well... without anger and all... I guess I am on the path of becoming an enlightened sage or

something...'

[Man, that joke was so lame...]

'My bad, it's been a while since I spent time watching memes and stuff, so my jokes are now outdated, I guess...'

Ever since Rio started focusing all his energy on training day and night, he has stopped

wasting time on entertainment and stuff.

In the first place, he doesn't have emotions anymore; he won't feel happy or anything else,

even if he hears genuinely funny jokes.

Thus, it's better to just focus on training.

Nowadays, teasing Lia and messing around with his sword intent are the only sources of

entertainment he has.

Aside from that, battle also brings a surge of excitement to him when he's fighting strong opponents; that's why Rio has become more of a battle junkie nowadays.

[By the way, your plan of 'borrowing' emotions is kind of good... I like it; this way, we can both survive;

you can get emotions, and I can get power...]

Shadow will also be able to use Rio's skills once he makes a proper connection with Rio's

consciousness.

At that point, the two of them will really become 'one' entity.

Right now, they have the same body and the same merged soul; only their consciousness is

separated.

Once they establish a proper connection between their consciousnesses, they will merge into

a single individual with two distinct sides.

In the first place, this process should have already happened long ago; Rio's consciousness should have merged with the original Rio's consciousness the very same day when their souls

merged together.

But the Original Rio still has a huge 'hatred' and 'feeling of revenge' left in his 'will'.

Unless Rio gets rid of Alverto and completes the revenge, the other party's hatred will never disappear, and Rio can never establish a stronger connection.

'Well, we still need to do a lot of preparations... Also, there's Alverto... Without beating him, everything would remain pointless...'

[Ah yes, that demon prince must die... Perhaps the reason why you came into my body was also because I wished for power that could destroy all demons...]

[For others, losing their body to some random person might be a curse, but you are more like a

blessing to me, Wandering soul...]

[Even if no one in the world respects you one day, I will hold endless gratitude and respect for you; after all, I don't think I have met someone as amazing as you before...]

'Surprisingly, you are quite good at praising... Even an emotionless guy like me got convinces... Good, I will let you out every once in a while; just don't do anything weird

though...'

[Haha, don't worry, partner, your nature has affected me as much as it has others... I respect boundaries; we shall conquer the world together...]

'Well, I guess I can consider you a friend then, partner...'

That day, Rio gained a friend whom he can trust his life to without worrying about anything.
