Reborn as an Extra

"Do you really think this will work?" (Link)

Link glanced at Fade leading the way for the team and asked Rio in a doubtful tone.

Usually, it's Link who leads the team as the leader, thus he has his doubts about Fade's ability to lead the way.

"Will work? It's already working…" (Rio)

[Elemental Sword Art: Wind Type: Serpentine Flow!]

Rio's sword swung in the air like a slithering snake and the wind followed his sword's rhythm instantly as if it was forming a snake in the air.

Hundreds of arrows came over flying at the group instantly, but before they could hit, the wind pressure formed by Rio's sword immediately caused them to deviate from their trajectory.

The arrows fell on the ground but as they were covered in massive elemental energies of various kinds, they directly exploded.

[Shadow Magic: Shadow Barrier!]

Liam instantly provided support and cast the shadow barrier to negate the effects of the explosions.

With Rio and Liam's teamwork, not even a single scratch appeared on the team members.

Liam glanced in the direction where the arrows came from and said:

"Arrows with such condensed elemental energies of so many types… this is an attack from the Elf team…" (Liam)

Hearing the word Elf, an excited smile appeared on Link's face, he clenched his fist and said:

"Hoh… it seems I might be able to have a proper fight this time…" (Link)

Link wanted to fight the Elven princess ever since she blocked his punch back at the royal palace, this is the best opportunity for it.

Liam placed his wand on the ground and a medium-sized magic circle appeared.

[Summon: Doom Bats!]

Three massive bats appeared out of the magic circle and flew into the air instantly.

The bats infused their echolocation ability with mana and instantly mapped out the whole area in the two-kilometer radius around them.

"Hmm, I see, so that's how it is…" (Liam)

A smirk appeared on Liam's face as he received the feedback from his bats.

"It seems they are planning an ambush against us… there are two teams hidden near a lake which is located just a hundred meters ahead of us and the Elves are hidden in the trees behind the lake…" (Liam)

"Those three teams are working together?" (Link)

"Likely…" (Liam)

Hearing the conversation Rio glanced at Link and asked:

"So, should we rush straight?" (Rio)

A smirk appeared on the faces of all team members at Rio's question.

"Is that even a question? Of course, we go straight!" (Link)

A massive arrow, the size of a small building came flying towards the flying bats.

*Boom!*

But before the arrow could collide with the bats, a magic barrier appeared around the bats and the arrow ended up colliding with the magic barrier.

"They used transformation magic on the arrow to increase its damage…" (Liam)

Link nodded his head and replied:

"Must be the work of that elf princess…" (Link)

"The arrows will keep coming if we stay here, let's move…" (Rio)

The three of them nodded their head and rushed with the team toward the lake instantly.

…

VVIP Area.

"Teaming up against an enemy that is too strong for you to handle alone… that's an excellent move!" (Ashtel)

Ashtel nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw the elves teaming up with the other two teams to fight together.

Ryul rolled his eyes at Ashtel's words and said:

"Well, they certainly would have had a better chance if it was some other team…." (Ryul)

"Still, even Link and the others will have a difficult time if they have to fight so many opponents all at once… three teams means they have to fight 21 opponents!" (Jin)

Each team has seven members, and thus team Astra will have to face 21 opponents if they fight three teams together.

Ryul shook his head and said in a solemn tone:

"But still, I am not sure if they can really eliminate even team Astra…" (Ryul)

Some things are always uncertain, and the outcome of this confrontation is also quite uncertain, thus, not even the SS-rankers knew who would emerge victorious.

"The thing is… every member of team Astra is unique and strong in their own way, to defeat them you need precise and different plans… I wonder if Vanya will be able to think of a proper plan in such a short time…" (Ryul)

"Yeah, usually, the support type members are the weakness of a team, but that's not the case with team Astra, even if you exclude, Link, Rio, and Liam, the rest of the members are not to be underestimated either…" (Syvis)

Ashtel nodded his head at the two and said:

"Well, let's wait and see… who knows how things will turn out…" (Ashtel)

…

*crack*

Just when Link stepped on a fallen dried leaf on the ground, a massive boulder came flying at him and hit him in the face.

*Boom!*

The boulder cracked and broke apart from the collision, its debris scattered all over the ground.

Meanwhile, Link stood there unharmed as he patted the dust off his clothes.

"Is this supposed to be a trap? You should improve your trap-making skills…" (Link)

Link was unimpressed by that trap, he didn't even bother dodging it as he knew it was pointless.

*Clang!*

An arrow enhanced with wind magic came flying at Link and directly hit his eyeball.

But nothing happened to Link! He stood there unfazed!

The arrow's iron-head broke apart from hitting Link's eyeball!

Link just rubbed his eye and continued moving forward as if it was no big deal.

The Elven archer who had fired the arrow at Link, felt his hand tremble while watching this incredible sight.

Even Vanya was taken aback for a moment.

"Cough! Cough!… ahem! Don't attack Link with arrows anymore… just target the other members… I will fight with him personally…" (Vanya)

The other team members walked out of the forest and came in front of the lake while following behind Link.

Liam's eye twitched when he saw Link tank an arrow with his eyeball.

'The f*ck did I just see!? Is this even humanely possible!?' (Liam)

Unaware of the surprise of the others, Link was only interested in one thing right now, he wanted to have a proper fight, and he wasn't even bothering with dodging these measly attacks anymore.

Rio glanced at the lake's surface.

"Illusion type…" (Rio)

[Sword Intent!]

Sword intent, Dao Rhythm, etc. These types of skills are a direct countermeasure for any type of illusion skill, moreover, due to 'True Immunity' Rio easily saw through the illusion that was cast on the Lake.

Rio's sword intent cut through the illusion like a torch in the darkness and the illusion immediately broke apart.

Once the illusion broke, the opponent became visible.

"Murlocs and Mermaids… quite the combo we have here…" (Liam)

Although the other party was surprised, they didn't dare to delay.

Immediately the mermaids started to cast group magic and the murlocs brought out their weapons to defend.

Just when Link was about to rush forward and blast them all in one go, his danger senses tingled and he jumped away.

*Boom!*

A gigantic punch landed on the spot where Link was standing and caused the ground to crack.

Even the lake's water was nearly swept away due to the massive shockwave.

"Your opponent will be me! Link Rex!" (Vanya)

"Hoh! So you finally decided to come out of the hiding spot!" (Link)

Just when Liam was about to provide support for Link with magic, his bats flying in the air gave him the warning and he deployed a magic barrier to defend himself.

*Boom!**Crack!*

Liam cast three barriers to defend against the incoming arrow, yet the arrow still broke two of them and made cracks in the third barrier too.

An Elven archer with bluish hair appeared on a nearby tree.

Her eyes stared at Liam coldly as if she was saying 'Your opponent is me, don't bother looking away...'

Rio glanced at Lia and said:

"I will leave the support to you then…" (Rio)

After Lia nodded her head, Rio immediately launched at the Murloc warriors alone.

Kira and Lia deployed a barrier around Riya who was still holding the banner and focused fully on defense while Rio and the others focused fully on Attack.

The coordination between team Astra was already very strong from the beginning, each of them knew their roles and followed them sincerely.

Of course except for one person.

"This is my chance to shine!" (Fade)

Fade's eyes shined as he saw an Elven Wizard appear near them.

Elven Wizard's goal was clear, he had to cooperate with the rest of the Elven team members to break the banner of team Astra before Link and the others could make it back.

Three Elven swordsmen and one Wizard, all of whom were peak B-rankers, rushed at Lia and the group while Rio and others were being distracted by the others.

Still, Lia was not worried at all.

[Divine Spirit's Blessing: Wings of Light!]

Two silver wings appeared behind her back and her eyes went cold in an instant.

Her sword 'Ambient Silver' shined with silver aura and a cold smirk appeared on her face. (Don't forget that her title is 'Mad Demon Sword'… she's crazier than Link, when in battle…)

Not wasting any time, one of the Elven swordsmen thrust his sword towards Lia at an insanely fast speed.

[Silver Lion Swordsmanship: Simple Thrust!]

*Clink!*

Lia's sword's tip directly collided with the tip of the other party's sword and canceled out the attack instantly.

But Lia wasn't done yet, her silver wings flapped and gave her a forward push increasing her thrust attack's force.

The Elven Swordsman lost balance and flew back like a cannonball due to the massive force of Lia's sword thrust.

"When it comes to stab attacks, not even Rio can do them better than me… still you dare to use them against me? Ridiculous…" (Lia)

Lia looked at the opponents with a cold look on her face as her eyes shined with silver aura.

…

Author's notes.

Yo! It's your beloved author here! It's been a while since I wrote about Lia fighting so freely, let's savor this moment where she is showing why she isn't a villainess just for show…

Don't forget, she has mastery over thrust attacks and even Rio had difficulty defending against them during the group survival event…

Question of the day.

Would you like to test your stab attack skills against Lia?

1. No (She will stab a hundred holes in your body before you even attack…)

2. Nope (Don't wanna become a walking sieve…)
