Reborn as an Extra Chapter 592: Elisia Mistilteinn, The Dragon Who Bent Reality. Part-2.

Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
Two and a half years ago, following the Lava Lake Dungeon incident, Liam returned to Aldif Mansion with Ellie, largely unaffected by the demonic encounters that plagued others, though Kira's betrayal lingered in his thoughts. Heartbroken by her choice of Fade Crest, whom she had unknowingly become a puppet for under the demon prince's influence, Liam chose to move on, mourning the loss of what he saw as a promising talent without pleading for her return. As he sat pensively on a swing, Ellie comforted him with homemade cookies and juice, teasing him out of his delusion while vaguely discussing shadow dragon mating preferences, hiding the tragic curse that doomed her race to eternal suffering and isolation. Her growing loyalty to Liam stemmed from his sincerity and care, the only anchor in her centuries of confinement.

Ellie had voluntarily decided to remain confined within that cage; she sealed her destiny herself to shield against the miasma's grasp.

Either she stayed put or ended up as the miasma's toy; no other options lay before her.

That explained why her fellow kin and even the elders decayed into oblivion and faded from historical records, while she endured and lived on to this very day.

"Um... I’d rather not dwell on my own story... it’s wiser to let bygones be bygones and focus on forging a brighter path ahead..."

Ellie flung a half-eaten cookie toward Liam, striking his head, and then continued,

"Quit acting all superior and wise... if you need to pour out your grief and shed tears, just come and hold me tight, alright!"

"Sulking endlessly and squandering your days achieves nothing!"

Liam massaged his forehead, flashing a bitter grin.

"Tch, how do you spot stuff like this so fast when you’re normally just a lazy couch potato with a blank head-"

Right then, a second half-eaten cookie hurtled his way, slamming into him like a precision-guided warhead!

"Who’re you labeling a blank-head!? Back in my village, I’m the sharpest and most gifted shadow dragon of my generation, got it!!"

"Hmph! You’ll see my true potential soon enough! I’ll prove exactly what I’m capable of!"

During that outburst, Ellie had blurted those lines in a fit of passion, yet every single one carried the weight of absolute truth.

She stood prepared to pour her all into the boy who regarded her as an equal and revealed the warmth of true affection and fondness.

Ellie meant every bit of it; jokes weren’t her style. As a survivor, she’d disrupted even the miasma’s schemes and held it off for a millennium!

Elisia Mistilteinn stood as the noble Shadow Dragon Princess, the last remnant enduring an unending curse.

Sprawled on the icy floor beyond the massive door, Ellie bled without cease, as recollections surged through her thoughts without end.

'Is this the so-called life-flashing-before-your-eyes moment right before the end?... How fascinating...'

Ellie lay gravely wounded and on the brink of death; sensation fled her limbs, and transforming into her dragon shape proved impossible in her dire state.

Her life force and energy faded gradually with each passing second, yet no trace of fear or sorrow lingered on her expression.

Death and dissolution no longer troubled her; in those closing instants, Ellie’s cursed fortune finally broke, granting her enlightenment amid the agony of near demise.

'I feel no fear, for I grasp my path and my capabilities... Thank you, Liam, for it all...'

Ellie understood her options; the equal contract with Liam still bound them, allowing her to pull him back to her through reverse summoning!

However, such an act risked harming Liam’s soul.

For that reason, Ellie intervened directly; she offered her vitality, her lifespan, her form, and her essence as the ultimate offering.

'For the one I cherish... I’d gladly give up everything... hehe... Watch closely, Liam... I can accomplish so much...'

Reverse summoning demanded an equal contract and superior power from the caster.

Ellie pushed further; by expending her own soul to shield his during the process, she elevated the ability beyond its limits, trading her entire being!

Elisia Mistilteinn elevated that technique to unprecedented heights; her deep affection for Liam drew the gaze of the 'Law' governing 'Love, Care, and Protection'!

Through Ellie’s invocation, the 'world’s' 'laws' emerged, temporarily boosting this taboo ability to rival a mythic legend!

Besides, Rio and Raika had tumbled into the wormhole, meaning Liam’s soul had departed the spirit realm!

Though trapped in the wormhole, it had effectively exited the spirit realm, rendering it open to reverse summoning!

The 'laws' of 'love, care, and protection' possess the might to warp even 'reality' itself to fulfill the desires of those they favor!

Locating a target within a wormhole bordered on the unattainable, but these 'laws' could twist 'reality' effortlessly for Ellie’s benefit!

They enabled Ellie to pinpoint Liam’s soul in a flash; their force proved so overwhelming that Raika’s fabled relic, the 'Holy Lyre of Eternal Faith,' fractured without delay!

Fissures spread across the legendary item, liberating Liam’s soul from Raika’s hold!

Elisia invested her whole self into that desperate act; it seemed the 'world' itself endorsed her plea, making it utterly impossible for Raika to halt Liam’s soul’s release!

Raika’s defeat stemmed not from frailty; Ellie’s profound love and worry for Liam warped 'reality' to preserve his existence at any cost!

The soul materialized instantly at Ellie’s side, cradled in her quivering hands as a gentle smile graced her lips.

"Hehe... w-welcome back... my love... I longed for you~"

Clutching Liam’s soul close while beaming with serene joy, Ellie shut her eyes one final time.

Elisia Mistiltienn, the shadow dragons’ princess, the blemish upon their lineage, and the eternally imprisoned Elisia, existed no longer.

With that, the outermost fragments of the mighty seal crumbled and disintegrated.
