Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra

A brief silence lingered as Lucas finished his narration. Everyone just stood gobsmacked by the turn of events finding it hard to process.

The silence was soon broken by loud screams and roars.

"What the fuck?!"

"Hey, are you kidding me? Do you think this is a movie and you are the hero who was chosen by the Saintess?"

"I can't believe this commoner. They are liars and cheap stakes."

Rose and Helena just stood stiff with a frown unable to discern this while Rose gave Frederick an odd look.She knew that he had some.. no, many secrets but did he really have that much power to overturn things?

Contrary to their bewilderment, Monica's eyes shone with an inexplicable gaze and she clenched her fist thinking that Lucas was the one who saved the day.

"All of you, please stop."A loud voice echoed suppressing everyone.

Angelo's fierce aura burst forth.

"Everyone, don't you guys know that you are in the infirmary? if you keep going, I am gonna kick your asses and throw you out." Angelo's words poured cold water on everyone.

"How can we believe you? What if you lied?"Someone muttered from the back of the crowd.

"Who the fu…"Aneglo who was about to curse shut his lips seeing the person who spoke and just kept his lips close as if he wasn't the one who spoke that.

Everyone looked back and saw that it was one of the knights guarding the infirmary in case of any danger.

"Your story sounds too much like fantasy. Though there aren't too many ambiguities still it's hard to believe that you are possessed by someone powerful and managed to wipe out all your enemies."The knight asked coldly.

Lucas just smiled upon hearing this.

'Just what, I was waiting for.'

"You can go and ask the Saintess about this ring. This ring was personally given to me by her. You can verify by talking to her and yeah, in case she tries to refute, tell her that I have a video of her giving things to me. I have concrete proof."

At that moment, Lucas thanked his meticulousness for carrying a button camera made by Scotch. Knowing Luna's playful nature, she recorded the scene where she gave the ring in case she refuted it later.

She in her wildest dream might not have imagined this after all no one is going to waste the seer power to foresee such minute things at the cost of lifespan.

"As for being possessed, I am telling the truth. You can ask this guy standing in front of me. He is the eyewitness." Lucas spoke, pointing at Frederick giving him a shiver.

"What the hell? What do you mean by eye witness?" Frederick freaked out feeling shitty wondering why the hell was Lucas targeting him as if he was his archnemesis.

"I remembered when that mystical being took over my body, he or she snapped my neck back and turned around and said something to Frederick. The pain that came from rotating my head 180° back was too much for me to forget. So ask him, as he is the live eyewitness."

Lucas ignored Frederick and others' bewildered expressions.

Even though no one is investigating him now, soon things might turn into hell as this incident was too big to cover up. Many nobles' heirs died and Julian was reduced to such a state.

Even if the scene wasn't broadcasted, the noble children who survived would surely puke out everything and Issac might use this opportunity to spread rumours and gossip about how he held Julian in his arms and may put the blame of what happened on him one after another.

Even if Julian was conscious, she couldn't cover up things as the nobles fuming with curiosity and anger would not let this go.

The Emperor himself might come for him later as he touched Julian. That bloody man is an Emperor during the day while a bandit at night.

Whenever boys tried to harm Julain, he would sneak in their to attack them and pin the blame on bandits.

Like who the hell is going to believe that a noble house was raided by a bandit? But what can the miserable nobles do without any proof?

So, there is a 110% chance of him being kidnapped if he doesn't sort things out quickly. So instead of avoiding things, it's better to step up to pacify things first.

Before people come knocking at his door or kidnap him and start torturing him, it's better to clarify things from his end.

It may seem that no one is paying attention to him but he was damn sure many eyes were on him and this conversation will surely reach the Emperor and the nobles.

If he was correct within a few hours, his tale would spread everywhere like world fire.

As per blaming Frederick, he was doing this to sort out his fear.

Future Lucas warned him not to believe in the Goddess, so can he believe in Frederick who was going to be a chosen warrior by Goddess?

What if Frederick betrays him and stabs him right in the back at the most crucial time? What if he could be manipulated by the Goddess at their will?

Cause Frederick must surely have discerned the identity of the ritual. As long as the ritual can be disrupted, there wasn't any threat. Though Julian couldn't kill Calvin, with all the means protecting her Calvin also couldn't kill Julian.

Frederick, who must have known this instead of going around to destroy the ritual, decided to lurk back in the safe zone. If he had given his all, he could have disrupted the ritual even without using his trump card.

So, what was his true feeling for them?

And most importantly, Lucas wanted to test just how good their friendship is at this point.

However, it wasn't purely a calculated move as Lucas wondered seriously if Frederick would have acted if either him or Parth were in danger.

He would surely let hell loose if it was Rose but what about them?

If Lucas was in Frederick's place, as long as he had the power he would surely interfere but what about Frederick?

So, all the things he did and this friendship between them, is it too shallow?

If being a friend to him was just a meaningless pursuit and a vain dream where the protagonist would help him if he fell in trouble was meaningless, then what is the use of being a friend with such a guy?

Lucas stood up under everyone's expression and taking a step, stood beside Frederick.

"You acted first and took Rose into the safe zone to hide and stood there as if protecting her. While Senior Julian fought, I sent a signal about the ritual, though you acted as if you were desperate to come near, you hadn't put all your effort as you discerned that their target was Senior Julian and you would be safe, isn't it?"

Frederick's body trembled and he stared at Lucas' widened eyes, startled at how he inferred things so quickly.

"It's not that.."

"Stop lying."

"You have the power to avert everything but you just stood still." Lucas' voice grew heavier.

"You thought Senior Julian had things to protect herself so why do you have to care but what about the others?"

"Roan is unconscious with his mental state unknown, Humphrey seemed to suffer a shock and many people lost their minds due to Abacharu's descent."

"And in all of this, I was the one who had to go through this shit being a primary suspect even though I am a victim. My body was messed up and due to too much power, my body was tattered. I was used by Saintess Luna who might have used me just to save Senior Julian!" Lucas started screaming as if he wanted everyone to hear this.

"Just look at this bucket. It is filled with blood and chips from my broken internal organs. My heart almost burst due to an annoying being drawing so much power. I mean damn it, why do I have to go through all the pain after saving you all, everyone is looking at me as if I am a criminal. This is too much. Just because I am a criminal you all are bullying me too much. Believe me, I am also a victim."

"Do you know how it feels when your body is taken over by someone, powerless to resist and the pain when each fiber of your muscles is broken down to generate power? Damn it." Lucas' voice choked and his words became hoarse and drops of tears trickled down from his eyes.

'Shit! It seems I acted too much.' Lucas pretended to rub his eyes to wipe his crocodile tears.

The onlookers gave Lucas a sympathetic gaze. Even Angelo shook his head with pity.

'What a poor boy! He has been used like a piece of chess and is now suffering so much.'

Angelo then looked at the Knights guarding the door who stood there with a guilty looks. They were ordered to keep tabs on the boy but seeing the boy crying, they thought this situation might be too much for a boy to handle.

Parth who stood beside Lucas felt his mind overwhelmed by the info dump.

Charles just stood there quietly observing Lucas though inwardly.

'I don't know why but after knowing this guy, I feel that this guy is acting. Though, I am not sure as he was genuinely angered before.'

"I need some fresh air." Lucas murmured as leaned forward to whisper "If it was Rose who was in trouble, I am sure you would have rushed ahead to help however in our case….."

"Don't look at me like that." Lucas's voice became colder as Frederick gave him a scrutinizing gaze.

"I know, I am not kind enough to insert my ass and put my life in danger meaningless but if I have means to help, I always offer help."

Frederick had two trump cards.

One was unlocking the full mode of Doom Piercer which would boost his great strength with a side effect.

The other one was drawing the power of Thunder Loach. Just like future Lucas possessed him, Frederick could either harbour Thunder Loach's power using himself as a vessel or combine it with the Thunder Loach to possess unearthly strength.

Though each thing had backlash but before life, does backlash matter?

Some may have tried to investigate after Lucas spoke about trump cards and even if they found that Frederick's Spear had an ego, it wasn't a very big deal as there are several artifacts with ego and the spear was too high-ranked to measure. It was a Demigod rank artifact that could hide its aura

As per having a guardian Spirit, Dark Church would know this soon. As for which of the two would be uncovered the first time, it was up to fate.

And no one is foolish enough to collide head-on to know about Frederick's trump card in the presence of Duke Frost.

Lucas then walked past Frederick with a nonchalant look.

"I thought we were friends."

'Sorry, Frederick, it's not my fault that you are a pushover.' Lucas scoffed inwardly while trying to maintain an indifferent yet saddened look.

"But it seems, it was just a delusional harbour on my part."

Leaving soft words that sounded like thunder, Lucas walked out through the crowd leaving Frederick with a dazed expression.
