Not-So an Extra



"Rrrooooaaaarrr!!"

The beast in front of the white-haired boy let out a deafening cry.

The monster's name was Badjingan; a bipedal creature.

They were primarily found throughout the Empire's forests.

Usually, Mercenaries or Adventurers hunted these monsters to sell their claws, horns, etc.

Especially their fur.

The fur had 7-15% Magic Resistance making it a valuable commodity.

Satisfied with its roaring, the monster scanned the surroundings and met with a pair of blue eyes.

Accelerated, the creature rushed at the boy.

This monster was no different from a wild Bull; it would charge anything that stood in its path.

"Haa…"

Heaving out a deep breath, Adrian began to chant his spell inwardly.

Soon, the blade within his grasp shook and emitted a white glow.

Tightening his grip on the sword, Adrian dashed toward the monster. 

When both of them drew closer, the creature swiftly swiped its claws.

However, before it could reach the boy, a long block of earth emerged from the ground and hit the beast's chin.

"Rooaarrr!!"

The force was so powerful that it threw the monster backward with green blood spurting from its nose and jaws.

—Boom!

The beast landed on its back and wasted no more time, Adrian hastily conjured a block of earth beneath his feet, propelling him into the air.

As he was hovering, Adrian slashed his sword thrice, sending three crescent white lights toward the monster's abdomen.

"Rooarr!!"

It wailed in agony whilst flailing its limbs.

Adrian did a backflip and landed smoothly at an earth tower that was newly summoned by him.

Honestly speaking, with his magic alone the monster would die in no time.

ƥαṇdαs ηθνε| But it would be no fun if the game ended prematurely, also, he wanted to test his Sword of Elemental's skill.

That was why Adrian refrained himself from using powerful spells.

The beast rose and ignoring its stomach that was dripping with blood, it sprinted at the white-haired boy once again.

Adrian stared at the monster nonchalantly and sent three more curved white lights.

However, the monster unexpectedly zig-zagged to dodge the attack.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom! 

Adrian couldn't help but scoff at the scene.

"Ha."

No wonder this creature was able to grow this big, it had some intelligence. 

Arriving before him, the beast headbutted the tower he stepped in.

—Boom!

The moment the pillar began to crumble, Adrian jumped down at the monster's back and stabbed his blade.

"Rroooarrr!!"

The monster waved its hands to reach out to him but the boy had already hopped down.

Adrian athletically rolled on the ground before coming to a full stop.

Raising his head, the creature was seen running at him and he stood leisurely.

—Bang!

Sparks of metal burst like a firework between the collided claws and a shield.

The white-haired boy swung his sword to remove the beast's blood from his blade and asked.

"Recovered already?"

"Yes, thank you so much for the Potion."

Adrian nodded and their attention was diverted by the monster's growl.

"Rrroooarrr!!"

Lifting its fists, the beast relentlessly pounded Ralph's shield.

—Bang! —Bang! —Bang!

The shield in the black-haired boy's hand was no ordinary shield, nor was the armor they wore.

They were equipped with advanced technology that could reduce impact by up to 40%.

Despite this impressive feature, they were not unlimited.

If the shield or the armor took continuous damage beyond its capacity, it would break.

Sensing something coming, Adrian darted at it and found a big fireball rushing at the monster.

Without much thought, he cast Wind Elemental.

Soon, the fireball disappeared before it could touch the monster.

"Huh?"

Rhea who saw her magic vanished without a trace was baffled.

She turned to the white-haired boy—since it would doubtlessly be his doing.

However, her attention shifted as her Telesphere rang.

—Ring —Ring —Ring 

Looking at the caller, Rhea immediately received it.

// Use Lightning Elemental to paralyze the monster. //contemporary romance

Without beating around the bush, Adrian gave her an order.

"Uh, okay."

—Tuut —Tuut —Tuut 

With that, the call ended. 

Although she had no idea the reason why, the tomboy heeded it anyway and began to chant another spell.

Returning his sight up ahead, Ralph was still blocking the beast's attack with his shield.

—Bang! —Bang! —Bang!

Looking at the monster's condition, its physical state was far from okay.

Numerous cuts were planted on its body with blood dripping here and there.

Also, if you looked carefully at it, the monster's speed had significantly decreased; it was nearing exhaustion.

Looked like the battle would end soon.

Detecting a Mana that condensed above them, Adrian raised his head and saw a Magic Circle.

It was Rhea's.

"Ralph jump!"

"Huh?"

Without further ado, the boy followed his order and both of them jumped sideways.

—Boom!

Lightning struck the monster with a loud crack.

"Roooaarrr!!"

The creature screeched in pain and its massive body twitched sporadically, struggling to regain its strength.

Thanks to Rhea's Lightning Elemental, it weakened the beast's muscles; rendering it almost immobile.

Seizing this opportunity, Adrian summoned an earth tower beneath his feet and leaped up toward the monster.

As he soared through the air, his sword began to tremble violently and a bright white light enveloped the blade.

In a swift motion, Adrian rolled in the air, accompanied by a streak of wide bright light that mirrored his movement, and landed on the beast's nape.

"Rrroooaaarrrr!!"

The final growl escaped from the monster's mouth.

Adrian hopped off and executed a perfect backflip before gracefully landing on his two feet.

A gush of green blood erupted from the monster's neck imitating a waterfall.

With a deafening boom, the monster's corpse collapsed to the ground, causing a gust of wind.

Adrian quickly shielded his eyes with his hand as the strong wind passed by; his coat and hair were fluttering.

When the dust settled and the wind dispersed, the monster was seen lying on the ground motionless with its head severed from its body.

However, Adrian couldn't help but scoff upon noticing how numerous presences that previously gathered around the area were now fading away.

So, they were indeed Gizel's team, huh?

Still, weren't they excessively merciless just by watching as Péréz was pummeled by the monster?

"Yeay!!"

"Woo hoo!! We defeated it!"

Adrian's ears perked up at the sound of jubilant cheering.

He turned his gaze towards the voice and saw his comrades jumping and hollering with excitement; celebrating their first victory against a monster.

A subtle smile formed on Adrian's lips as he watched the exuberant display.

Well, what more could he expect?

They were just kids, after all…

Thus, the battle came to an end.
