Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 106 The Sword King! Part-4.

A few minutes ago.

While Rio was fighting Link and others, Meng was not just standing there to watch the show, the very moment the fight started, he also focused on his fights.

"This time you are dead!" (Lenn)

When Meng was still standing behind Rio, Lenn launched a sneak attack on him, but since Lenn was ready this time, he put his sword forward and defended himself from Lenn's punch.

Although, he successfully stopped the attack, still the impact from that one punch pushed Meng back a few steps.

'Her punches are too heavy, my arms are already numb from that attack-' (Meng)

Before Meng could think further a very fast arrow fast arrow flew by and Meng barely dodged it by tilting his head away at the last second.

The arrow went past Meng's face at an astonishing speed but the flame aura covering the arrow still grazed his left cheek and a little burn mark appeared on his left cheek.

Meng jumped back three times to avoid more incoming arrows.

Meng's situation is direr than Rio's right now because there are a total of nine individuals he has to fight. Not only the top three rankers Ars, Leo, and Lenn are against him there are other six individuals too.

The fire arrow was fired by Leo and the other arrows were fired by other two archers. In total, there are four close-range fighters including Lenn, Ars, and a mage student. Then there are three archers including Leo, rest are all healers.

Even if Meng injured them, there are three healers to heal these guys.

[Basic Wood magic: Cursed Binding!]

The mage guy completed his chanting and before Meng could even react his left leg was caught by a sudden tree root. But that's not the worst part..

[Shadow wolf art: Shadow walking!]

While Meng was focused on the tree root, Ars appeared from behind him like a ghost appearing out of nowhere, Meng noticed his presence too late and there was no time to even react.

'Move!! Useless body! move!!' (Meng)

Meng howled in his head for his body to move and dodge that attack. He knew if that attack landed Ars will pierce his heart with his dagger and he will be eliminated at that very moment.

...

(Sudden flashback)

SSA central area, before survival test round 2. (Around Ch- 96)

"Senior Rio, please teach me 'sword intent!'…" (Meng)

At that time Meng was amazed by Rio's sword intent, he had experienced how Rio used it to fly on the sword. He also wanted to know how to use 'sword intent' from Rio.

But Rio's answer was too vague for him to understand.

"Hmm, there's just one thing to do if you want to learn 'Sword intent', all there is to go with the 'flow' and don't go against it…. It's like swimming with the flow of the river and not going opposite it… you need to understand that 'flow'…" (Rio)

After saying that Rio went away, but everything that Rio said sounded like nonsense to Meng, if anyone else had heard it, they would have thought that Rio was spouting nonsense to confuse others.

But Meng contemplated about that 'flow' for a very long time. He tried very hard but was unable to make any sense of what Rio had told him. At that time Meng thought that the 'flow' Rio was talking about the flow of mana in the body but that didn't make any progress for him.

'What exactly is this flow?...' (Meng)

(The sudden flashback ends)

…

At that moment, when that cold blade nearly touched his skin, Meng's intense will to move from that spot seemed to have been heard by an unknown force.

A very small spark of that legendary power 'sword intent' appeared on Meng's sword that little insignificant spark changed the course of fate for a side character 'Meng'.

At that very moment the spark of 'Sword Intent' pushed Meng to the left side and caused Ars to miss the attack on Meng's heart.

The dagger landed on Meng's right hand and his arm flew away from that impact blood flowed like a fountain but Meng had won that confrontation, he had changed the course of his fate in that small time frame of a millisecond.

Although Ars missed that attack, others would not sit still.

When Meng's separated right hand flew away with his sword he became defenseless and that was the perfect chance for Lenn to land a punch.

[Sakura pearl martial arts: Crushing flower!]

Lenn's punch directly landed on Meng's chest. Meng flew away and fell. He ignored the pain and immediately used his handkerchief to tightly bind his arm and stop bleeding.

The direct punch from Lenn also broke his rib bones, if it was any other person they would have already passed out due to immense pain, but Meng had suffered from pain his whole life and his bones have been broken many times in his childhood. His experience made him more resistant to pain.

(After Meng awakened, his pain tolerance had reached the level of not feeling pain from near-fatal injuries. Not even Rio is capable of such a feat, yet. But I doubt Rio will even feel the emotion of pain and regret at all.)

"Now it's over!" (Lenn)

Just when Meng thought that it was going to be over.

A thunder beam appeared and a very strong sword intent spread everywhere, the sword's intent in that attack was so strong that it obliterated everything around them, not even the grass on the ground was spared.

The immense thunder swept the whole area and cleared all obstacles. The geography of the whole area changed after that one attack, one second it was covered by dense forest, and the other, it became a barren land, contaminated with dense mana and sparks of sword intent lingering around everywhere.

That attack alone eliminated six newbies.

Except for Ars, Leo, and Lenn, all the other newbies were eliminated, if not for the fact that Liam cast a separate barrier on them they would have also been teleported away at that moment.

Only Meng was not affected by Rio's sword intent.

...

Meng got up, he got a very close experience of that immense sword intent, and a sudden 'epiphany' came to his mind.

'What if the flow, Senior Rio talked about was not the flow of mana, but…' (Meng)

Meng remembered all the times he had seen Rio use his sword intent. When Rio killed that monster with a single flick of his sword when Rio flew with his sword, and when Rio split apart that hydra's body to expose its heart for others to attack, and now this thunder beam.

Meng remembered them all.

'It was not the flow of mana from the start it was 'Will'… it was the 'flow of Will'…' (Meng)

At that moment, when Meng reached his conclusion, his sword that was on the ground far away flew towards him on its own and Meng caught it in his left hand.

"Hahahhah…So that's how it is! I understand now! So this is sword intent!" (Meng)

"Hahahaha… it turned out to be so simple! Hahaha…." (Meng)

'You have to embed your will with the flow of mana itself…. It sounds ridiculous but it's the truth!...' (Meng)

Meng finally figured out that the conditions to learn Sword Intent were extremely harsh.

When Meng grasped his sword in his hand, his flickering and weak sword intent covered his sword in a very thin layer of sword intent.

[Ding! You have achieved an immense feat!]

[Ding! You have changed the course of your fate with immense willpower!]

[Ding! You have learned a new Skill 'Sword Intent'!]

[Ding! All your sword-related attacks will be enhanced by 5 times from now on.]

The aura of Meng's sword intent spread in every direction and attracted the shocked eyes of everyone who saw this scene.

…

Outside the SSA, General's Residence, Meeting hall.

All the officers in the meeting room stood up in shock and General Bismoil's eyes widened at the sheer ridiculousness of this situation.

Some of them even shouted in bewildered voices.

"How is it possible to learn sword intent just after awakening for less than six months!"

"Mo-monster! Absolute insanity!"

"Th-this is bullsh*t!"

People were so shocked that they even forgot about the presence of three SS-rankers in the hall.

It was that shocking of a scene.

…

…

(Sword intent's conditions to learn are as follows:

1.?Talent (The sword aptitude must be SS rank or above. This alone eliminates 99.999% of individuals in the world)

2.?Will (A strong enough will to make the mana follow your orders and bend the laws of physics to great extents.)

3.?Understanding (you need to understand and comprehend the flow of your will'.)

4.?Luck (A certain push of luck is also important.)

Exception:

All these rules don't apply to anomalies Like Rio Flash and only affect him to a very small extent.)

Author's notes.

Yo! This little guy Meng gave me a surprise, didn't expect he would end up imitating Rio to that extent, even though I wrote this myself. This might also be the effect of him changing his fate with that ability.

By the way, recently I found out that people have been pirating my . I request everyone that whoever is reading this please read it from Web only, otherwise, your support will not reach this poor author.

Question of the day.

Would you have been able to withstand the same pain Meng did?

1.?No (I can't do that too, I am a weak little author after all.)

2.?Yes (Are you even human bro… do you even feel fear at all!?
