Reborn as an Extra

A few minutes earlier.

*Swish~*

"Urk!..."

As Lia launched toward one of the Elven swordsmen and pierced his abdomen with her blade, tremendous wind pressure appeared, causing the trees in the surrounding area to become uprooted.

[Silver Lion Swordsmanship: Claw rush!]

Lia's sword thrust generated a force that blasted a hole in the opponent's abdomen, causing the other party to pass out instantly and blood to flow like a fountain.

In addition, his internal organs began to leak out along with the blood that was pouring.

Fortunately for him, though, he was teleported away at the appropriate moment, and he will eventually return to full health thanks to the S-rank healer.

If Lia had targeted his heart rather than his abdomen, she would have been able to kill the other party in an instant. However, she did not want to do that because, after all, this is a competition and not a death battle.

The remaining two elven swordsmen, seemingly unaffected by their buddy's defeat, quickly charged at Lia.

[Rose Style Sword Art: Pointed thorn barrage!]

A sour frown appeared on Lia's face as she observed the opposing side launch thrust attacks in her direction.

"Like I said, don't try stab attacks against me…" (Lia)

[Silver Lion swordsmanship: Obliterate type: Barrage!]

The silver wings that were swaying behind her back fluttered once more, giving her an incredible boost in terms of speed and agility.

Within a single second, Lia was able to launch one hundred sword thrusts thanks to her agile sword-moment abilities.

Not only did she defend herself against all of the stab attacks fired by the other party, but she also counterattacked with her own attacks.

The silver aura-wrapped blade penetrated the other party's flesh ten times, giving him the appearance of a human sieve.

The other person didn't have time to respond; he could only stare at Lia with astonished eyes as he was transferred away.

While Lia was preoccupied with the other two swordsmen, the third swordsman took advantage of the situation by charging up his sword aura and condensing it to its maximum potential.

[Stream Water Sword art: Reversed waterfall!]

Using his blade, the elven swordsman swung it in a down-to-upward motion and then blasted a large arc composed of condensed water at Lia.

As a result of her distraction, Lia was a little bit late to react; she raised her blade to defend herself and utilized her wings to narrowly avoid a deadly injury.

A vicious sword cut appeared on her left shoulder.

The sword cut was so precise and lethal that it rendered her left hand completely useless.

That one attack also pierced through the left wing.

The elf swordsman didn't pass up this wonderful opportunity.

He immediately proceeded to stomp the ground and dash in Lia's direction.

He raised his sword close to his shoulder and swung it downward at a sixty-degree angle.

On the other hand, Lia was quick to respond; she used Kai's spirit mana to abruptly stop her blood flow, and she flapped her right wing in order to give herself a shove in the opposite direction.

She successfully evaded the strike, lowering her knees and raising her hand to launch a deadly upward thrust attack directly into the other party's abdomen.

'As I thought… this elven swordsman's attacks don't have the same lethality as 'he' has… likely because he don't have sword intent…' (Lia)

Lia smirked and condensed the silver aura on the tip of her blade, piercing the other person's abdomen.

[Silver Lion Swordsmanship: Maximum Obliteration thrust!]

Lia's attack was so powerful that it blew a giant hole in the other party's body, causing a massive amount of blood to gush out.

Lia was unable to avoid it in time, so some of the blood even sprayed back onto her face.

Blood stained her face, revealing a complex look as she watched the other person disappear by teleportation.

'ugh… I did it again…' (Lia)

Lia is known as the "Mad Demon Sword" because she frequently finds herself covered in blood when she engages in combat.

This leads others to believe that she is a demon who enjoys bathing in blood or something similar.

In reality, the issue lies in the fact that her sword technique is constructed in such a way that each and every attack causes the opponent to suffer huge amounts of bleeding.

The sword art that she practices is a technique that was developed by Tomar, also known as "The Silver Dawn," and it has been handed down from one generation to the next.

Although it also features a large number of slicing attacks, Lia primarily uses thrust attacks because that is the type of attack at which she is most skilled.

This swordsmanship amplifies the user's attacks with a bonus effect. This bonus effect enhances the likelihood of the opponent's wounds bleeding excessively, which is a significant advantage.

Lia's reputation has suffered primarily because of this, and she has never enjoyed finding herself in such a situation.

However, she occasionally resorts to this tactic when she needs to take matters seriously.

[You have improved quite a lot kiddo… it seems rank A is not too far away from you now… just solidify your 'path' and you are good to go!] (Kai)

'What even is a 'Path' in the first place?...' (Lia)

[Well… you could think of it as a solidified 'Ambition' or a 'dream yet to be achieved'… er. Something like that…] (Kai)

'That's such a vague explanation… is there no proper way to achieve it?' (Lia)

[No, every individual is unique so you have to figure it out on your own…] (Kai)

(What Kai didn't tell Lia was that she had already found her own 'path', it's just that she hasn't realized it yet…)

Lia shook her head and put the issue out of her mind, realizing that Kai was of little use in this situation.

She turned her head in a particular direction and thought.

'hmm, I took care of the three swordsman of the elven team, Liam is dealing with the fourth one, Link is fighting the princess… sixth is likely a healer… so only one left…' (Lia)

'That person likely went to attack the banner… I guess Kira and Fade should be able to deal with that person…' (Lia)

Despite the fact that Lia was aware that Fade and Kira were both B-rankers and would not be easily defeated, she still made the decision to go back and investigate the situation on her own.

However, just as she was ready to take the first step, the alarm on her wrist watch began to ring.

[Congratulations! Your team has passed the team battle phase!]

[Initiating Teleportation…]

Lia's face began to show a trace of a smirk as she cast her gaze in the direction of the lake.

'He already dealt with both of the teams?... as expected, he's always fast…' (Lia)

Lia was taken aback by Rio's abilities, but just as she was thinking aboutit, a teleportation circle materialized beneath her feet and sent her back as well.

…

Around the same time.

"Kehehehe! See! I am better than you pathetic rich bast*rds!" (Fade)

With both of his legs damaged from Kira's earth magic, the Elven Wizard was crawling on the ground, and Fade laughed mockingly at him.

"You dare look down at me! You were courting death!" (Fade)

When Fade raised his wand to the sky, a massive magic circle appeared.

Riya, who was holding the banner, could not help but say aloud:

"You don't need to go that far, do you? He's already defeated-" (Riya)

"Shut up! I do what I feel like doing! I don't take advice from the likes of you!" (Fade)

The fact that Link and the others were not present meant that Riya did not have any effective means of getting him to stop, so she simply shook her head and stopped bothering withhim.

Just as Fade was about to strike the magician, a notification from his wrist watch saved the day.

[Congratulations! Your team has passed the [Initiating Teleportation…]

Before Fade could cast his spell, the teleportation circle materialized and transferred the three of them away from the area.

The elf wizard exhaled in relief upon realizing that his life had been spared.

**Boom! **

The moment he was about to relax, Vanya swooped down like a cannonball, only a few meters away from him.

"Ugh..." (Vanya)

She stood up from the crater caused by her fall, clutching her shattered left hand with a painful face.

She seemed to have returned to her normal self but her left hand was twisted in an unusual way, and her entire body was covered with dirt.

"Ugh.. looks like I shouldn't have held back too much during the fight… nearly ended up losing…" (Vanya)

At the very moment that Link was going to finally take things seriously, the notification rang out and teleported him away. As a result, she avoided having to reveal her trump cards.

A complex expression appeared on Vanya's face as she cast a glance in the direction of the wizard:

"Tch… so they beat you that badly too?... All members of their team are exceptionally strong…" (Vanya)

After a short while, the archer girl arrived at the location, accompanied by another elf girl who was walking alongside her.

Vanya grinned as she cast a quick glance at their team's healer.

"Good thing we didn't involve you in the battle…" (Vanya)

The other party nodded and began to heal all three of them with a serious expression on her face.

Their team has suffered the loss of three members as a result of this conflict; yet, because Vanya is their leader, they were not concerned about failing to pass the team battle phase.

"Well, despite the fact that we were defeated by team Astra, there are still a great number of other teams roaming throughout the forest; let's pick up our next target after we have fully recovered from our injuries..." (Vanya)

The other three nodded and immediately agreed with Vanya's decision.
