Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 374: A stubborn promise to Elisia...



Prototype S16ir112, Floor 10.

Liam just leaned his back against the wall and sat down.

"Aren't you going to ask about my past?"

Hearing Ellie's question, Liam shook his head and spoke in his usual calm tone,

"I believe that you will tell it to me yourself if the time is right and you are comfortable with it... I don't need to pressure you about it..."

"Also, don't take what he said to heart, he was angry at my father and ended up letting out that anger on us both instead..."

"It's not like I don't understand him though... I would have been angry too if some random person barged into my home, started making trouble and even tried to destroy it..."

Liam has always lived while facing the hatred of his own family members ever since he got Ellie on his side.

They have tried to insult him and Ellie both many times before.

The younger him was more impulsive and would have gotten angry about these matters but nowadays he doesn't care about it much.

Staying around a certain emotionless guy for so long, Liam has learned that it doesn't matter what others say about him.

Only he is the one who will decide his own path, others' opinion doesn't matter at all.

'Moreover this is not the time or opportunity to be angry... I am too weak when compared to the Dragon King, arguing with him will not achieve anything...'

In the first place, all this started because Neo illegally trespassed in the Dragon Valley.

If he hadn't done such a thing, Idri wouldn't have cared about Liam and Ellie much.

"Sigh... this kindness of yours is the reason why I ended up with you here..."

Ellie sighed and sat down beside Liam, the two of them only came here because the rest of the group was asked to come too.

They have no reason to look for Neo at all and neither of them is motivated enough to take risks for the sake of someone who has created a lot of troubles for them both.

Ellie stared at the ceiling for long time and sighed continuously before finally saying in a sad tone.

"Actually... my real body is imprisoned in an underground place... as an S-rank beast that lives in the spirit realm, my spirit is qualified to become a 'summon'..."

"My real body is immobilized and in a coma, that's why my Spirit is able to accompany you here..."

"I am an outcast... abandoned by my kin, I wandered the barren lands for years and ended up getting caught in a trap..."

"Now buried underground, I am just waiting for my death to come and free me from my pointless existence..."

A dry smile appeared on her face as she laughed at her own patheticness.

"My story is so pointless and worthless that it's not even worth telling... it's just a tale of an unwanted talentless fool wandering without any aim..."

"In the end only in my half-dead state did I met someone who treated me as a genuine friend for the first time..."

Liam nodded his head at those words and replied in his usual calm tone.

"I guess we are both the same then... hated by our own family, but blessed with good friends..."

A look of determination appeared in Liam's eyes at that moment.

"Is there any way to save the real Elisia?"

Ellie have a wry smile at that question and replied in a sad voice.

"I knew you would ask that if I told you about my reality... this is why I didn't want to tell you the truth..."

"There's no way to save me Liam... I am afflicted with the curse of miasmic decay... I am bound to die sooner or later..."

"This is an incurable curse that causes your body to decay slowly when you are still alive... miasma has taken hold of me..."

"My one feet is already in the grave..."

Liam sighed at those words and his eyes became moist.

As a knowledgeable person, Liam knows about the 'curse of miasmic decay' all too well.

Even he knows that there is no cure to this curse in the whole world, it's pointless to even try. Once upon a time, King Allen himself tried to find a cure for it to save his own mother but even after searching all over the world he found no cure for it.

His journey about exploring the most dangerous dungeons of the world and his feats of destroying the demon race to near extinction were all because he set out to find a cure for his mother.

The primary goal was to eliminate all who were spreading miasma to eliminate the influence of miasma and thus save his mother.

Although King Allen never managed to save his mother, he created peace and a safe haeven for the rest of the beings of this world.

"Sigh... and here I was thinking that you would accompany me till my old age... but it seems you are planning on making me sad for the whole life..."

"Quite the devious one you are... Elisia..."

Liam's eyes trembled and his head lowered in hopelessness.

"Still... atleast let me visit the real you once... someday..."

Ellie glanced at Liam who seemed quite depressed and spoke.

"You would need to be an S-ranker to even be able to go there... also the spirit realm is filled

with powerful beings... getting their approval will be a near impossible task..."

"And if they found out that you came there to visit someone like me... you will be in great

trouble..."

Liam shook his head at those words.

"It doesn't matter, I will think of something to escape that trouble..."

The two of them fell silent at the moment and an awkward atmosphere appeared in the giant

empty hall.

Ellie glanced at Liam before saying.

"You are very stubborn you know... and stupid too... not a single summoner would risk their life for a summoned beast..."

"Summoned beasts are usually the one who risk their lives for their master... not the other

way around..."

"Maybe Neo Aldif is indeed true to some extent.... you are too attached to your 'tools'..."

Liam shrugged his shoulders before saying,

"I have seen even an emotionless guy show emotions for those who he cares for... what else do you expect from me... I was bound to become attached to my friends and my subordinates..."

Hearing Liam's words, Ellie replied in a determined tone.

"I will have to lecture that inspiration sources of yours for making you that way then..."

"He's bad influence for you..."

Liam just shook his head and spoke in a calm voice.

"It's not possible... that certain someone can deal with the likes of us both easily... he's toon/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

strong for us..."

Ellie crossed her hands and said,

"I happen to know a certain golden hair girl who can definitely help me out deal with that

seemingly strong guy easily..."

Liam frowned at those words.

"Using such a move is completely illegal and against the rules! It's straight up cheating!"

After a while the two of them stopped messing around and the atmosphere returned to

normal making the sad atmosphere disappear.

Liam stood up at that moment and extended his hand out of Ellie.

"Let's do it this way... you help me out for now and when I reach rank S, I will look for your

real body..."

"Let's have a final meeting atleast or I will never be able to move on in life... you wouldn't

want that right?"

Ellie sighed at those words and took the hand too get up.

"I guess I don't have any other choice then... I will help you reach rank S and then I will leave immediately so that you won't be able to find me..."

"That seems a more plausible choice to me... afterall I wouldn't want the person I favor so

much to see me in my pathetic state..."

Liam scoffed at those words and replied,

"I happen to know someone who has a divine spirit as a friend, do you really think you can

hide yourself from me?"

"I will search through the heights of heaven and the depths of hell if I need to... don't underestimate me Elisia, I am blessed with great friends..."

The two of them walked towards the hole that Idri created while leaving and started to follow

in his tracks.

Idri likely smashed all traps amd dangerous things as he walked down the floors, Liam and Ellie can just follow behind him and travel safely.

Moreover, Liam has Mana field, he can easily see all traps as their magic circles are completely

visible to him.

Mana Field gives him better control over mana then even early SS rankers, thus avoiding those

traps is a child's play for him now.

Liam took Ellie's hand and the two of them walked together.

A thought came in Liam's mind at that moment.

'If your path is tainted with darkness... then I will drag you towards the light myself... Elisia

Mistilteinn...'

Maybe Liam and Ellie's story was meant for ruin in the original novel, but the interference of

a certain anomaly seemed to have changed their destiny.

Who knows, maybe this decision of Liam to visit the Spirit Realm will change even the world

for the better.

Hope is what the world relies on, even the Prototype of a great reality exists but to grant hope

to those who seek it.
