Reborn as an Extra Chapter 615: Lia’s Adventure Begins! Part-4.
Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
"A dangling eye, frail innards, and dreadful miasmic decay all over the body... could this be the consequence of devouring demons and suffering from their inner miasma?"
As the creature reeled from the earlier forceful strike and stumbled slightly, Lia instinctively examined its form.
Based on the available hints, Lia determined that the beast's dire condition stemmed from probably assaulting numerous demons, employing its typical predation technique during combat.
It stabbed into the demon's flesh, tore out the vital organs through a massive gash, and consumed them right there, leading to contamination by miasmic taint.
Once tainted by miasmic corruption, it failed to fight it off and continued preying on additional demons, ultimately forfeiting all reason.
"Incidentally, what's your defense like against spirit magic purification?"
As she posed the query, Lia skipped any response and aimed her blade at the creature.
Employing divine spirit magic, Lia amassed a vast quantity of mana along with light elementals at the sword's point, forming a dense sphere primed for tremendous devastation!
The most terrifying detail was how, aided by an SS-rank divine spirit, assembling that power occurred in mere milliseconds at breakneck pace.
The avian beast had scarcely any opportunity to evade since events unfolded with extreme swiftness.
Every instinct deep within its essence screamed for evasion as it sensed impending 'death' drawing near!
A ray of unadulterated light elementals combined with divine spirit magic, wide as a two-level edifice, shot at the bird creature at light's velocity!
This 'Particle Beam' possessed such might that it outclassed even elite laser armaments!
Its velocity and force were so immense that an instant round valley formed, the earth liquefying in a flash merely from the beam's terrifying graze!
That ray's intensity instantly fused sand and soil into crystalline glass solids!
Even after spanning scores of kilometers, the ray persisted until it struck a distant mountain's foundation, carving a 'C'-shaped cavity before depleting its energy and halting.
"Um... perhaps I overdid the power a tad there..."
[Do you really think you're staying stealthy at this point?... I definitely don't believe so...]
"Tch, critics will always criticize; let's emphasize the upsides... for instance, folks could excavate all this glass and craft items from it now..."
[Remember, this is a dungeon... nobody's entering to mine glass in here...]
Dismissing Kai's complaints, Lia observed the S-rank avian monster and noted that even with its utmost evasion attempt, failure ensued.
The beast's whole left side vanished entirely, vaporized... ahem!... actually, 'purified.'
The remaining portion of the monster remained rigid like a statue momentarily before its vitals burst forth and it collapsed lifelessly!
"No matter what critics claim, my command of power has advanced greatly... see, even though half the creature was 'purified,' the other half remains undamaged!"
"That indicates the 'Particle Beam's' thermal output was precisely managed, avoiding spread to zones beyond the targeted zone. To me, this qualifies as success..."
[While your phrasing is odd, I have to admit your mastery of divine purification magic is solid...]
The plump feline perched on Lia’s shoulder finally nodded, prompting Lia to grin and remark,
"Hehe... just as I suspected, Rio's training method proves highly efficient..."
Lia had witnessed Rio employing his 'Sword Intent,' among the globe's fiercest offensive powers, to brew tea for enhancing his command and precision.
Drawing from that, Lia devised applying her 'Divine Purification Spirit Magic' for meal preparation to boost her command and precision!
She actually wielded a 'particle beam,' typically a starship's primary armament, for cooking!
Though not as outrageous as Rio's accomplishment, her achievement remained astonishing to contemplate!
[As the adage goes... birds of a feather flock together!]
[It's no surprise you two became a pair; your thought patterns align so closely it's astonishing!]
As Kai chattered away in Lia’s thoughts, the tiny golem shielded its eyes with tiny paws, trembling at the sight of the enormous corpse.
Lia stroked its little head to soothe it, then began approaching the monster's location.
Right before advancing, she scowled and retreated abruptly, baffling Kai, though comprehension came quickly.
The presumed deceased beast abruptly stirred and rose, propping itself with intestines acting as tendrils.
This grotesque creature persisted in life; miasma oozed from every part, its vitals dangled externally like clock pendulums, defying death!
It wailed in agony while deploying them to launch bony shards as missiles at Lia!
Witnessing that, Lia scowled slightly and effortlessly sidestepped by ascending via her ethereal wings.
Next, she directed her sword at the grounded monster and unleashed!
Within one exhalation, Lia repeatedly unleashed the ability on the beast, excavating a vast pit in the earth and forming an enormous depression nearby!
All within dozens of kilometers' span lay utterly ravaged, terrain smoothed flat and elevations razed!
