Reborn as an Extra

The dungeons are often, imitations of the events and places from the real world. They can even be used to understand the historical facts better with proper investigations.

One such case is the 'Hidden Dungeon of Maya'.

This dungeon tells the tale of what happened in the time just when the 'Mana Bomb' was dropped on the Maya continent.

There are no monsters in this dungeon except for the mini-bosses and the main boss.

Generally, each dungeon has many weaker monsters wandering in it aside from the mini-bosses and the main boss monster.

But since the environment in the dungeon of Maya was different. Its chaotic mana-filled environment killed off every weaker being that resided in it.

As this dungeon had many battlefields located in it, millions of corpses lay rotting inside. This violent mana didn't even have mercy on the S-rankers and everyone at S-rank and below was wiped out regardless.

(Expect some lucky survivors like that bear... but even that bear was already on its last breath, it didn't have much time left either...)

The 'Hidden' part in the name of the 'dungeon' refers to the fact that this dungeon can literally disappear from the real world and then reappear once again after several years.

Just like what happened in Damian's case, the dungeon's entrance disappeared after the initial seven days passed in the real world.

After those initial seven days, the dungeon gate was still there, but it became dormant and its entrance became hidden. Thus the name 'Hidden Dungeon of Maya'.

Damian sacrificed his 'future', for him only ten days had passed inside this dungeon, but in the outside world, ten years had passed.

Things changed greatly in those ten years.

Originally this place was an abandoned factory, but then the owner of the Hotel bought the land and built the hotel in this area.

The dungeon's entrance had long disappeared and thus no one knew about it at that time.

But after ten years, the dungeon entrance appeared once again.

If not for the changes in fate caused by Rio, Link and others would have never entered this dungeon.

Lia would have become a demon by now, Link would have been dead, and Riya would have been dead too. Liam would have gone mad and would have been face-slapped by Fade many times by now.

Moreover, When Fade entered this dungeon, he got injured due to mana deviation and then retreated along with Kira and thus, this Damian would have never been discovered.

Damian would have died in this dungeon due to his carelessness in bringing out the time orb while the bear was still alive.

But everything has deviated from its original route now. The strings of fate seem to be in dismay due to just one 'Anomaly'.

...

Hidden dungeons are extremely rare occurrences.

There have been very few such cases that have been recorded in history. Not much is known about the reason behind their disappearance and reappearance from time to time.

Even the dungeon of Maya is filled with many imitations of the events that happened in the real world.

The queen's transformation into a golem was triggered by Kira and Fade and thus it didn't happen in the real world it only happened in this dungeon.

But the existence of Rahab was truth itself.

Rahab was the demon that King Allen nearly killed in a punch before he escaped to that hidden mountaintop located in the deeper areas of the Maya continent.

But obviously, as Rahab had stated, King Allen found Rahab's hiding spot easily after a few hours and eventually killed him off.

Since the dungeon of Maya was an imitation of the real world's events, it was obvious that no matter whether Link and others win or not, Rahab would die eventually and King Allen would appear here too.

If Link and Rio had held down Rahab for long enough, they could have met King Allen in person, but since they killed off Rahab in just under an hour, the meeting never happened and the dungeon was conquered ahead of time.

Thus marking the end of this dungeon.

...contemporary romance

(Present time, After destroying Rahab's brain...)

Rahab's body twitched for a moment and started to bloat like a balloon.

As Link still had his grasp on the body, he immediately understood what was going on.

Link glanced at Rio and shouted:

"Get Back! it's going to explode-" (Link)

*Booooommmm!*

But before Link could finish his sentence, Rahab's body blasted into smithereens instantly. The force created by that blast was so strong that it broke all the stones that were falling after the mountaintop got shattered.

(Link shattered the mountaintop with his 'Heaven's befall' attack and all three of them have been falling down the mountain since then... the rest of the fight happened amidst the falling rocks and debris in the sky...)

Before the blast could reach Link, he felt someone grabbing his shoulder and dragging him away at an extremely fast speed.

A smirk appeared on Link's face.

"Heh! You didn't need to do that I wouldn't have gotten injured either way..." (Link)

Hearing Link's voice, Rio shook his head and replied.

"You have just learned 'Dao rhythm' your control is not that good... I won't be able to look Riya in the eyes if you got yourself killed due to some idiocy..." (Rio)

('Dao Rhythm' is the equivalent skill to 'Sword Intent' for Martial artists... for better understanding read Ch. 107 again...)

While saying that, Rio's sword powered by his sword intent helped them fly in the sky and dragged them both away from harm.

Later, both of them landed on the foot of the mountain safely.

As Link's legs finally touched the ground they directly gave away and he collapsed on the floor. The 'golden glow' over his body had long disappeared, but he still had a huge smile on his face.

Seeing Link's state, Rio shook his head and said in his usual emotionless tone.

"See, like I said, you are still new to this... legendary skills like this cost a huge amount of mana... more so when you are not proficient in it..." (Rio)

Rio had dealt with 'Sword Intent' for a long time now, he was so proficient in it that he could use it as a hand warmer, thus he knew the workings of these types of skills.

Hearing Rio's words, Link just grinned and said.

"Hehe, I already knew that even if I fainted there, a stone-faced guy would drag me away on time, so I didn't really care... hahaha..." (Link)

Hearing Link's words, Rio shook his head in defeat.

'This guy.... He trusts me too much...' (Rio)

If Rio had left Link to resist Rahab's self-explosion, Link's control over his 'Dao Rhythm' would have been lost and he would have likely gotten badly injured from that huge explosion.

(The explosion caused by an SS-ranked demon's body was not small obviously...)

Rio dragged them both with his flying sword otherwise they both would have been fatally injured from that explosion.

…

After a few seconds.

Lia and Liam both flew down the mountain and landed nearby.

Liam looked at Link who was lying down like a dead body and a frown appeared on his face.

He walked over to Link and said in a quiet voice.

"May your soul rest in peace…." (Liam)

Hearing Liam's teasing voice, several veins appeared on Link's forehead and he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"F*ck you! I am still alive! Go away!" (Link)

Hearing Link cursing at him, Liam smiled shrewdly and said.

"Uh… I thought you were dead, oh so you were still alive… how fortunate!..." (Liam)

"Tch! Cheesy Bast*rd!" (Link)

Hearing their bickering Rio shook his head and sighed heavily.

Lia walked over towards Rio and asked in a concerned voice.

"Are you hurt somewhere…" (Lia)

Rio immediately deactivated his shadow robe and shook his head.

"No, I am fine… or would you like to see for yourself…" (Rio)

Saying that Rio pretended to unbutton his shirt and a blush appeared on Lia's face.

"Idiot! Perv!" (Lia)

Hearing Lia's cute complaints, a slight smile appeared on Rio's face.

*Cough*

Liam coughed loudly to stop the two love birds from doing awkward things in broad daylight.

"The temperature is rising all of a sudden, hey Ellie blow some cold wind over here..." (Liam)

Hearing Liam's order, Ellie flapped her shadow wings and the wind produced by her wings made Liam's hair flail in the air.

Seeing the prying eyes of Liam and Link on them both, made Lia even more embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Rio was totally indifferent. He tilted his head and said.

"Let's continue it later…" (Rio)

"What do you mean later!?" (Lia)

While Lia was bewildered at Rio's bold remarks, Liam whistled to cheer them up.

"Don't mind us! Continue! Continue!" (Liam)

Liam's teasing voice made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Rio glanced at Liam and asked Lia.

"Should I throw this guy away first? He is kind of irritating, isn't he?" (Rio)

Hearing Rio's voice, Liam stopped glaring at the two lovebirds and said in a defeated tone.

"My bad, my bad, don't mind me, I was just passing by!" (Liam)

Just when the atmosphere was becoming even more awkward, Damian and the others also came down the mountain, thus saving Liam from getting beaten due to his irritating voice.
