Reborn as an Extra

Boss area, the tomb of perfection.

The moment everyone entered the boss area, an extremely foul and nauseating smell entered everyone's nose.

"This place…" (Rio)

Around a small altar, thousands of dead bodies were piled up like garbage. The place looked like a scene straight out of hell.

The horrible smell of rotting bodies and squished innards, made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable.

The sight of these many corpses made everyone shocked for a moment.

Liam glanced at Ellie and said:

"Ellie put a shadow barrier and hide all these corpses, do it before someone faints from this sight…" (Liam)

Ellie nodded her head at Liam's request and cast her shadow magic.

[Shadow magic: Shadow barrier]

A dark black barrier rose and blocked everyone's sight. Only the much cleaner path to the altar was left out of the barrier.

Coincidentally, Link and Riya were the last ones to enter the portal and thus Riya didn't have to look at all those corpses, because of the barrier created by Ellie.

"Hey! Whose barrier is this? Why did you guys cast a barrier here?" (Link)

As Link entered the boss area quite late, he didn't know about the corpses, so Rio just shook his head and replied in his usual emotionless tone:

"Nothing, just blocking some distracting scenery.." (Rio)

"uh… is that so.." (Link)

Link was no idiot, he immediately understood the hidden meaning behind Rio's words and stopped talking about the barrier.

'If even Rio is saying that it's a 'distracting scenery', then it must be too much for Riya to handle, better not to delve too much into it…' (Link)

Putting this matter behind, everyone walked towards the smaller altar that was located right in the center of the huge chamber.

…contemporary romance

After a while of investigation, Kira got up from the altar and said in a solemn tone.

"Yes, our doubt was indeed true it seems, this altar is the core part… this small altar seems to be connected to those big altars out there…" (Kira)

"In fact, I think this small altar is the actual central point… it has many mana nodes that lead to distant places…" (Kira)

Hearing Kira's declaration, everyone had a solemn look on their face.

They had already guessed that his small altar might be connected to all the larger altars that were located out there.

(The large altar they all saw a few minutes ago was one of the few altars that were connected to this small altar in the boss area.)

Liam glared at the altar with narrowed eyes and said in a solemn tone:

"This means one thing… all those larger altars that are located out there must have been used to transport the life force to this one small altar…" (Liam)

"They stocked a vast amount of life force and must have transported it here…." (Liam)

"Were they perhaps… trying to create an extremely strong demon…" (Liam)

Just when Liam was murmuring a solemn voice, the whole boss chamber trembled.

The ground ahead of the altar split in two and a staircase appeared out of the ground.

*Clap**Clap*

"Marvelous, magnificent!" (???)

A hoarse voice entered everyone's ears.

*Step**Step*

A man in tattered armor walked up from the stairs and a wide grin spread on his handsome-looking face.

There was a huge hole in the man's chest.

From the look of that injury, the man should have died long ago, but he was still alive. This was a great contradiction.

Link stepped forward and blocked Riya behind him.

"Who are you?" (Link)

At the same time, Ellie narrowed her eyes and stepped forward to block Liam behind her too.

[Master, this person is extremely dangerous, I can feel immense killing intent from him…] (Ellie)

[I know… attack him if him at any suspicious movement…](Liam)

Seeing the confused look on everyone's face, the handsome-looking man tilted his head and asked in an amused tone:

"Oh, could it be you aren't able to tell me apart….wait perhaps I should do this first…" (???)

With a smirk on his face, the man touched his head and two large horns appeared on his forehead. The horns looked like goat horns and were shining with killing intent.

The man's eyes turned pitch black and his pupils turned fiery red.

"Now you know my identity, right?…" (???)

Seeing those goat horns and those red eyes, even a child could tell what this man was.

"A demon… a demon general to be specific…" (Rio)

*Clap!*

"Correct! Absolutely correct!" (???)

"I have no real name, you can call me, Rahab…" (Rahab)

Rahab glanced at everyone with a wide grin on his face.

"Well, I would have definitely liked to torture all of you slowly with my own hands and drink your blood from your skulls, but as you can see I am actually on my death's door right now…" (Rahab)

Rahab's voice carried immense regret in it. He regretted the fact that he was injured and didn't have the luxury to enjoy torturing these humans in front of him.

"But worry not, I will kill you all with a swift attack… after all, I don't have a long time left either… that 'golden' bast*ard smashed my core and I can't even use mana now…" (Rahab)

"In this place filled with chaotic mana, it would not be long before I end up dead too…" (Rahab)

"Oh but I should at least tell you all the answers that you came looking for…" (Rahab)

While everyone was on guard and staring at Rahab's movement, Rahab didn't care one bit, he said in an unhurried tone:

"As that little purple-haired kiddo speculated, this altar was used to create an artificial strong demon… to be more precise… it was used to create an SS-rank demon…" (Rahab)

Hearing Rahab's revelations, Rio replied in an emotionless tone:

"And that demon must have been you…" (Rio)

A smirk appeared on Rahab's face when he heard Rio's voice.

"Yes! Correct answer! I used to be a mere 'low-ranked' demon, but became an SS-ranker after absorbing the life force of thousands of warriors, that were dying during those continuous wars…" (Rahab)

"I sat here and waited as more and more life force gathered in my body, eventually, after a long wait of more than ten years, I finally reached SS-rank, although it was not a genuine SS-

rank, I had no 'Authority' or skills but I was still strong…" (Rahab)

"The demon king gave me one task… to drop the 'Perfect mana bomb' when he was keeping the alliance busy… and I did as he told me!" (Rahab)

A wide and creepy grin appeared on Rahab's face as he explained how he killed millions.

"I dropped the bomb directly onto the capital city, it was a beautiful sight to watch, the bomb killed every low-ranked individual instantly and only those peak S-rankers were still barely alive…" (Rahab)

"And thus I went ahead and used my own mana detection to kill any who was still left alive… it was a marvelous sight to see the dying face of the dark elf queen with my own eyes…

hahaha" (Rahab)

(Yes, the SS-rank demon who killed the queen as mentioned in previous chapters, was Rahab himself, the alliance didn't betray the dark elves.)

The alliance members themselves didn't know about the appearance of a new SS-rank demon Rahab.

They were not able to notice Rahab, because he didn't cause the same stir as Jin did when ascended to SS rank.

Rahab was an imperfect SS-ranker thus he didn't properly ascend and was not noticed by the others.

(If he had properly ascended, he would have created an insanely big stir in the world's mana and every SS-ranker across the globe would have sensed it immediately…)

…

"But my days of glory short-lived… that 'golden' bast*rd noticed me immediately, I tried my best to escape, but that guy was too strong for me…" (Rahab)

Rahab pointed to the huge hole in his chest. (The whole was half a meter in diameter…)

"He smashed this huge hole in my body with just one punch... ugh! That bast*rd is too strong…" (Rahab)

"Although I successfully escaped to this place, I don't think it will be long before he breaks the seal outside and comes here…" (Rahab)

"Well I can at least enjoy my last few hours by killing you pathetic humans first… hehe, you guys really sent me a pillow when I was sleepy…" (Rahab)

Just then Rio brought out his sword and pointed it towards Rahab with his usual expressionless face.

"You think you can win?" (Rio)

Rahab's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Rio's sword, he pointed his finger towards Rio's sword and asked in a shocked tone.

"Hmmm…. How do you have the sword of that 'golden' bast*rd, kiddo? Are you perhaps related to him in some way?" (Rahab)

"Heh, it seems I am luckier than I originally thought, I get to kill someone related to that 'golden' bast*rd before I die… this is already the greatest reward I could wish for…" (Rahab)

"AHAHAHAHA" (Rahab)

Hearing Rahab's words, Rio asked in an emotionless tone:

"That 'golden' person you are referring to… is that person's name 'King Allen von Reinhart'?" (Rio)

The creepy grin on the demon's face widened even further after hearing that name from Rio's mouth.

"Yes, yes! You know that guy after all huh! Now I can enjoy torturing you with delight!" (Rahab)

The demon looked at Rio and the others with the eyes of a predator, he grinned creepily as he stared at his opponents.

"Let's start the banquet, hehe!" (Rahab)
