Reborn as an Extra

A Day ago, Aaron's dwellings.

Hidden floor.

Ignoring the filthy dark mud that was covering the floor of the hall, Aaron stared at the individual standing in front of him with a look of shock on his face.

"H-how are you still alive… Alverto…" (Aaron)

Alverto, the demon prince, ignored Aaron's shocked tone, his face was hidden under the helmet of his armor.

"You look quite surprised, Aaron…" (Alverto)

"Didn't you die in the demon general Azazel's execution battle!?" (Aaron)

Hearing Aaron's question, Alverto slowly walked towards the withered 'tree of blood' and said:

"Of course, I didn't die in that battle… I have my ways of retreating safely… hehe, not even an SS-ranker can restrict me if I want to leave…" (Alverto)

The more Alverto said the more shocked Aaron became.

"Y-you escaped unharmed under the nose of that insanely strong human… Ashtel Rex!?" (Aaron)

"Heh, I have my ways… let's put that matter aside for now though…" (Alverto)

Alverto stopped looking at the withered tree of blood and focused his eyes on Aaron. A creepy smile appeared on Alverto's face which was hidden under that helmet.

Even though Alverto was just looking at him, Aaron could still feel immense pressure from that gaze alone.

'Sh*t! This guy is already at the peak of S-rank… no! he's not too far away from breaking through the realm of demi-gods… i-I am in big trouble…' (Aaron)

'Moreover, this is not a clone either! This is his real body! Why the heck did he come to the human kingdom in person!?' (Aaron)

'If possible I didn't want to meet a crazy guy like him at all!' (Aaron)

A look of frustration appeared on Aaron's face as he was stared down by the intense glare of Alverto's demonic eyes.

Ignoring Aaron's dilemma, Alverto stretched out his hand and said in a stern voice.

"Now, tell me… where is the fragment? I sensed the presence of a fragment here… that why I came here in person… where is that fragment, my dear friend?" (Alverto)

At Alverto's question, a confused look appeared on Aaron's face, he had no idea what Alverto was talking about.

"W-what fragment.. uh… what are you talking about?" (Aaron)

Hearing Aaron's answer, the smile on Alverto's face faded away and his expression became cold.

Immense killing intent surged from his body and pressed down on Aaron like a giant mountain.

"Hehe, Aaron we are old friends, our friendship goes way back… so I suggest you stop pretending and hand over that fragment to me… otherwise, hehehehkehkeh…" (Alverto)

Suddenly Alverto appeared behind Aaron and put his hand on Aaron's shoulder.

Alverto whispered in a chillingly calm voice.

"Don't make me waste time…. Speak!" (Alverto)

Beads of sweat appeared on Aaron's face as he tried to move away from Alverto's grasp.

"Uh… I-I really have no idea, about w-what you want…" (Aaron)

"No no, that's not the answer I want… Tell me everything you know Aaron, otherwise, my next target will be your little sister Tia, hehehekehkeh…" (Alverto)

Aaron's eyes widened at Alverto's remarks.

"Y-you can't go to the dragon valley, she lives under the protection of the dragon king himself, y-you can't do anything to her!" (Aaron)

At Aaron's nervous shouts, Alverto just sneered and replied in a cold voice.

"You really think I don't dare to kill someone in the presence of the dragon king? Not even Ashtel Rex was able to keep me from escaping and you think I am afraid of provoking another SS-ranker?..." (Alverto)

Alverto continued to walk around the hall as if he was observing the area. He totally ignored the dark mud that was spread all over the ground.

"BAHAHAHA, YOU ARE SO GOOD AT MAKING ME LAUGH!!.... But you see my dear friend, it will cost a little bit…. But for my goals, I can go to any length… so don't make me kill you little sister in vain…" (Alverto)

"TELL ME EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED HERE!! TELL ME NOW!" (Alverto)

Alverto's domineering voice made Aaron shiver in fear and helplessness.

'Sorry, kids… I had no other choice, I can't risk the life of my sister…' (Aaron)

With great reluctance, Aaron told Alverto about everything that had happened on that day.

He told about how a group of human children came to visit and how Zach fell unconscious when he looked at this tree.

"This tree withered after the kid Zach stared at it for a while and fell unconscious…" (Aaron)

"That's all I know… I really have no idea what 'fragment' you are talking about…" (Aaron)

After telling all this, Aaron went silent again.

"I see, I have a general idea of what must have happened…" (Alverto)

Alverto glanced at the withered tree of blood and thought to himself.

'This tree must have been in possession of the 'fragment' and it gave the fragment to that human kid named 'Zach' because the tree had no time left… this dark mud is the reason why that tree was on the verge of death…' (Alverto)

Alverto walked towards Aaron and patted his shoulders and said in a happy voice.

"Haha, you should have told me everything from the start! You made me threaten my dear friend for no reason! Sigh~" (Alverto)

Saying that, Alverto pretended to walk out of the place through the stairs, but he suddenly stopped and glanced at Aaron again.

"By the way, can you give me some photo of that kid named Zach… you know, a 'photo' that is taken by 'camera'… humans like to take photos… do you have one?" (Alverto)

Aaron was startled by Alverto's sudden demands, he thought that Alverto was really leaving but that sudden question made him startled again.

"Uh, n-no, I don't have a 'camera'…. Those kids only stayed with me for just a few hours… I didn't take any pictures with them…" (Aaron)

"Is that so…" (Alverto)

Seeing that Alverto fell into thought, Aaron heaved a sigh of relief.

'I-is he finally about to leave… just go away! I don't want to get involved with the demon kind at all!' (Aaron)

But before Aaron could relax, Alverto suddenly turned back and smiled at Aaron with a creepy grin on his face.

The next words he said made Aaron frustrated, and fearful.

"Then I have no other way but to extract your soul and search your memory! My dear friend! Kehekekeh…" (Alverto)

Aaron's eyes widened in shock at Alverto's statement, he really didn't expect Alverto to go so far for such a small reason.

…

(Back to current time…)

[Sword Intent!]

Rio used sword intent and rode his sword to leave the sea water and fly into the sky.

'What happened all of a sudden…' (Rio)

When the whole yacht exploded, Rio was talking with Lia while sipping on tea, who would have to know that all of a sudden their Yacht would blast into smithereens.

Rio fell into the seawater and lost sight of Lia, he immediately used his sword intent to protect himself from the second explosion that happened due to the blast of the yacht's core.

Rio glanced around him and noticed the debris of the destroyed yacht was scattered everywhere on the sea surface.

*SPLASH!*

The water splashed and Lia flew up in the sky. She was covered with Kai's spirit magic and two silver wings helped her fly.

"You okay, Lia?" (Rio)

Lia nodded her head at Rio's question.

Soon Link also jumped out of the sea, while holding Riya in his hands. He used the 'Dao rhythm' to stand in the air.

"What the f*ck is happening all of a sudden!?" (Link)

'If not for the fact that I used 'Dao rhythm' to shield Riya, this explosion would have been dangerous…' (Link)

Ellie carried Liam out of the sea. She was the one who cast a shadow barrier around him to protect him from the explosion.

"We are so close to a human city, an S-ranker is stationed here, and yet there is someone who dares to attack our ships!?" (Liam)

While everyone else was still confused, Riko also flew out of the sea while riding on that 'flying sword' she used when she first arrived at that abandoned mansion on the outskirts of Oaklum.

"W-where is Zach, I don't see him anywhere-" (Riko)

Before Riko could finish her sentence, a sinister and mocking voice resounded in the ears of everyone present at the scene.

"Ah, you must be talking about this little kid right?" (Alverto)

Everyone looked above and found that a person wearing pitch-black armor stood in the sky, and his right hand was gripping Zach's neck firmly.

Zach struggled to break free but it was to no avail, he wasn't strong enough to get rid of the grasp of a peak S-ranker.

Alverto's eyes fell on the students below and he immediately noticed Rio standing among them all.

"Oh, it's been a while! Rio Flash! How have you been? You seem to have progressed a lot compared to the last time I saw you!…" (Alverto)

Hearing that familiar sinister voice, a look of anger appeared on Rio's face.

"Alverto Chronos Perdere…." (Rio)

…
