Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 244 Team Battles! Part-2.

Chapter 244 Team Battles! Part-2.

*Boom!*

The ground cracked as the debris flew into the air creating massive dust clouds.

“Hahaha, nice! You can take quite a few punches from me! You are strong!” (Link)

Indeed, being able to tank Link’s punches is a great feat.

The orc warrior was able to tank several of Link’s punches which could have already killed an ordinary A ranker by now.

Only Rio has dealt with Link’s punches without taking much harm, but obviously, others don’t have Rio’s levels of reaction time or speed.

With a smirk on his face, Link raised his fist and punched in front of him.

[Dragon Arts: Mid-range vortex!]

The cloud of dust and debris around Link immediately got swept away due to the massive wind pressure caused by Link’s attack.

The wind pressure immediately revealed the opponent who was trying to conceal himself with the dust cloud.

“My detection skills have improved due to fighting a slippery guy you see, it’s pointless to create a dust cloud to reduce my senses…” (Link)

The Orc warrior’s whole body was covered in wounds, he likely had several bones broken too, yet a smile hung over his face as he saw Link’s massive and intimidating aura pressing down on him.

‘Damn, this guy is a monster… I don’t think I can hold him too long…’

Link saw the hesitation in the other party’s eyes, and smiled meaningfully:

“Hmm, buying time huh? Okay then, let’s decide the outcome of this battle with one massive attack…” (Link)

Link raised his left hand and placed his right hand near his waist.

He took his martial stance to show clear respect for the other party’s resolve to try to hold Link in place so that his other teammates could go for the banner.

Seeing Link’s gesture of respect, the orc warrior smiled and wiped the blood from his mouth.

“Then so be it…”

‘With broken bones, I don’t think I can hold him longer if I try to run around too much… this one attack is good enough…’

The orc warrior stomped his feet in the ground making massive cracks in the ground.

He concentrated all of his mana into his hands and placed his hands in an ‘X’ shape to cover his chest.

“This is my strongest attack! I wonder if you really have the courage to take it head on?”

Link placed his mana in his right fist and smiled.

“One attack would be enough…” (Link)

The Orc warrior didn’t reply and directly rushed at Link in straight charge.

[Rhino horn Style: Crazed Rush!]

His momentum was indeed strong, any ordinary A-ranker would directly be killed if he got hit by this straightforward rush attack.

The winds howled as the wind pressure created by that rush was so massive that nearby trees and boulders flew away instantly.

“Good” (Link)

Link liked the courage of the other party, he was impressed by the fact that the other party dared to charge at him so fiercely just to buy some extra time for his team.

‘They must be planning something behind the scenes otherwise why would they need to buy time…’ (Link)

Link could feel that the other party wanted to keep Link away from the rest of the team, but Link was not too worried, as he was not the only monster their team had.

Seeing the crazed rush coming closer and closer, Link finally moved.

[Dao Rhythm!]

Enhanced by Dao Rhythm, Link’s strength at that moment reached the level of a peak S ranker, it was too insane a feat to even fathom, but for Link that was just a regular Jab.

*Boom!*

The massive wind pressure swept the nearby debris away, if not for the barrier in the sky, even the clouds would have been swept away.

The punch landed on the other party’s hands and directly blew away the left half of his body in an instant.

Blood flowed out like a fountain from the wound and the orc warrior fell on the ground in a pool of blood.

A pained look appeared in his eyes, yet his face remained smiling.

*Step*

Link walked over to his side and glanced at his smiling face with a doubtful expression on his face.

“Hmm, you are still smiling? You really are a strange guy…” (Link)

The other party looked at Link and said:

“Haha, no one told me that you had reached the pinnacle form of martial arts… you even have ‘dao Rhythm’ in your arsenal… you truly are the pride of all warriors…”

Martial artists take pride in each other and like to encourage each other, but all Martial artists hope to achieve the pinnacle of martial arts.

That pinnacle is to achieve the legendary skill ‘Dao Rhythm’.

Just like all swordsmen want to learn Sword intent, all martial artists dream of achieving Dao Rhythm.

Only one or two martial artists appear in five hundred years who are able to achieve Dao Rhythm, they are extremely rare talents.

Learning Dao Rhythm is more difficult than Sword intent and thus there are very few people who can actually learn it.

“Seeing you… Use Dao Rhythm on me, it was my great honor actually… now I can brag to my friends that I tanked a direct attack from ‘Dao Rhythm’ hehe…”

“Thanks, Great Warrior Link…”

With that said, a teleportation circle appeared below his body and he was directly teleported off to the infirmary to be healed by S-rank healers.

…

VVIP area.

“That orc warrior… he has great resolve… you have raised the young talents quite well..” (Ashtel)

Gradba shook his head at Ashtel’s words and said:

“No, no, these little kids are just idiots, you praise them too much, I had already given them advice not to get into a confrontation with team Astra, but these guys didn’t heed my words at all…” (Gradba)

Ryul rolled his eyes at Gradba’s words and said:

“But you seem to be smiling yourself… I think you wanted them to go for team Astra even if it meant losing…” (Ryul)

“Well… Orcs inherently take pride in challenging the strong… I can’t blame them for not heeding my words… but seriously even I didn’t expect that these little kids would become so brave today…” (Gradba)

A smile appeared on Gradba’s face as he talked:

“Even if they lose, they will lose while fighting the strong, so I can’t blame them for having amazing resolve…” (Gradba)

Ashtel and Ryul shook their heads as they knew that Gradba was already impressed by his team, he would definitely reward them instead of reprimanding them when they go back.

After all, his team has already developed enough courage and resolve, they don’t even need the rewards anymore.

*Clink!*

A spear and a sword collided with each other and the wind pressure created by those collisions blew away massive amounts of debris.

‘Even though this guy is so much smaller in stature than me, the force behind each blow is stronger than me… it’s likely because his sword intent is too strong and heavy…’ (Xagok)

Sword intent and Spear intent are made of similar ‘laws’, they just work with different types of weapons.

The real difference comes from the user itself.

In a battle between two people who can use these legendary skills, the victor is decided by ‘whose mastery over is higher..’

In other words, Xagok was overwhelmed because his mastery over his spear intent was much weaker compared to Rio’s mastery over his sword intent.

Even a skinny and weak person can deal heavy blows if they have skills like sword intent. (Rio is not skinny, he just looks smaller in front of this massive orc…)

“Hmm, you have been defending all this while… are you trying to buy time or something?” (Rio)

Rio’s words sounded like devil whispers in Xagok’s ears.

‘So fast!?’ (Xagok)

Before Xagok could dodge or defend, Rio had already appeared right behind him.

[Elemental Sword Art: Thunder type: Compressed arc!]

Rio raised his sword above his shoulder and fired a compressed arc made of thunder.

[Spear Intent!]

[Bear Claw Style: Defensive roars!]

Xagok lagged behind in defending and was barely able to move his spear intent to block a fatal injury as he jumped away from the center of the attack.

But as he was a step too late, a few of the electric sparks still grazed his skin and nearly a hundred cuts appeared on his body in an instant.

Blood flowed out like a fountain.

But before he could even stabilize, Rio, seemingly teleported and appeared right in front of him in the blink of an eye.

“Shouldn’t have left yourself wide open like that…” (Rio)

[Sword Intent!]

Rio swung his sword in a down-to-upward motion and directly sliced off the right hand of the other party.

Xagok fell on his butt as that attack’s heavy blow broke his balance.

His severed right arm flew in the air and fell far away while still holding the spear in its grasp.

Rio placed his sword on Xagok’s neck and said in his usual emotionless tone:

“You lost…” (Rio)

From Rio’s compressed thunder attack to this, only three seconds had passed, and the winner was decided in such a short time span.

A smirk appeared on Xagok’s face.

“Well, you really are better than me at controlling the legendary skill, but I have completed my work… I have bought enough time… I surrender now..” (Xagok)

A teleportation circle appeared and teleported Xagok away.

But before Rio could think about anything he felt a massive amount of mana condensing in the sky above them.

A gigantic meteor made of molten lava seemed to have appeared out of a massive magic circle floating in mid-air and this attack was directly aimed at the banner.

Rio then glanced in another direction and noticed that Link had already defeated the opponent warrior.

‘Hmm… the mages on the other team are really clever… they used this spell on purpose… even if I hit it sword intent it will likely ‘auto-aim’ at the banner again…’ (Rio)

‘To be able to cast this spell, do they have four fire magicians in the same team? That’s such a coincidence….’ (Rio)

Author’s Notes.

Yo! It’s your beloved author here!

It seems that mutual respect and pride among warriors is a worldwide thing, perhaps only a protagonist suffers from cliché like face slapping events, others live a fairly normal and respectable life…

Question of the day.

Would you be able to remain as calm as the orc warrior, if you have to face Link?

1. Nope (I don’t wanna feel how it feels to be hit by Dao rhythm…)

2. Yes (I am a disciple of Rio, I fear no one!)
