The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 221: Timeless [1]



***

Amon's eyes widened at the scene displayed before him.

There was only one word that came to his mind.

Catastrophic.

***

(1 Hour Earlier)

The shadows cast by the trees around the infirmary suddenly molded and started to take form.

Slowly, the form of a solid human took shape.

Then, the shadows fell, revealing the full form of the person inside the shadow.

Light steps were heard from the shadows, as a man walked out of the tree's shadows. Arthur came to stand in front of the infirmary's entrance.

The soldiers belonging to the group had already been slaughtered by his shadows.

One of his most prestigious shadows, Igor, came before him and knelt on one knee.

[Greetings milord, we have cleared the area perfectly before your arrival. However, we cannot proceed through the barrier on our own.]

Arthur nodded.

'It's fine Igor. You can stand up and patrol the area around with the other shadows.'

[I understand milord.]

Igor stood up and performed a deep bow before leaving with the other soldiers.

There were some shadows within his legion that were able to speak.

All in all, his total shadows didn't exceed more than 500.

It was at most a small tribe or battalion.

And out of them, only 10 of them were able to talk. They were also the leaders of the small groups within his shadows.

Igor was one of the ten soldiers. Or as he called them, the 10 seats.

Igor was the 6th seat.

Looking at their robes and the dismembered bodies of the invaders, it took no time for Arthur to know who they were.

Decimated Heavens.

A mysterious group that he even knew little about.

'This is one of the things that I can't still find anything about...' He remembered his frustration over this fact.

Fortunately, this might just be a good opportunity for him.

Arthur moved forward, adjusting his monocle as he took a last look at their bodies.

He ordered one of his shadows to retrieve the robe and other artifacts on his body.

Arriving before the barrier, Arthur observed it momentarily with his monocle. It took him no time to analyze it.

It was a mana barrier.

A basic mana spell, like mana breathing. Any clovist or armentist could do it.

But there was a rank requirement to this, unlike mana breathing.

To cast a mana barrier, you needed to be at least 3rd Order/3rd Tier.

But to further add elements and increase its size, you needed to be even higher ranked.

Considering this barrier covered the whole infirmary, which was the size of almost ten large hospitals combined and had 3 elements imbued into it....

Then.

The caster was at least 5th Order. In the worst case, it could be 6th order because of the size.

But since there were 3 elements, 3 people had cast the barrier together.

Which led him to assume it was probably one 5th Order/Tier and 24th Order/Tiers.

And these were just the casters.

'For just a small group of people that raided the academy with a suicide wish, they are certainly strong.'

It reminded him again of how strong the organization was and how many members they had.

Nevertheless.

Arthur raised his arm, ready to tear the barrier down as his arm was suddenly coated in a torrent of golden flames.

He shot his arm toward the barrier's screen.

But then...Nôv(el)B\\jnn

His arm cleanly passed through the barrier, not hurting it at all.

Arthur's eyes widened momentarily before he quickly composed himself.

'What...?'

Arthur...

Was allowed in the barrier?

The casters who made the barrier could also allow entry to special people at later stages.

And to his surprise, the casters had allowed him entrance into the barrier.

It made a little sense when they just wanted to allow him in the normal way rather than letting him tear it down, which he obviously could.

But...

It was still a little suspicious.

Nevertheless, Arthur shrugged it off.

'Whatever. I don't have anything to worry or care about.'

Phasing through the barrier, Arthur immediately found himself in a herd of people. They were all wearing white robes, indicating that they were patients in the infirmary. All of them were screaming and stumbling, trying to find any way out of the barrier. Even non-awakened, who should have been able to pass through the barrier were restricted. But considering how much this organization kept surprising Arthur, this was to be expected. As he entered the area, everyone's eyes immediately settled on him.

And a silence spread through the area, with everyone realizing who Arthur was.

But...

Even with his entrance, the panic returned as everyone started screaming and shouting again.

It was to be expected.

These people were still scared and horrified. They knew they were going to lose their lives

here.

Even if the Principal of the Academy, the strongest man in the world himself had entered, they still never saw him in action.

To doubt until shown was a natural action of mankind.

Especially since...

Arthur looked ahead at the infirmary entrance with an indifferent gaze, ignoring the crowd

around him.

The entrance glass doors were blown wide open, sticking to the walls.

The wide, lengthy corridor was completely empty with shards of glass all over the floor.

All the lights were broken as well, with some at their last straws as they flickered on and off.

Multiple patches of the checkered floor were coated in crimson red.

It was a scene straight out of a horror play.

Getting his attention back to the people around him, Arthur saw that some of them had

calmed down.

Some of them still trusted him.

Calculating how many there were around him, he instantly realized that not everyone was

outside the infirmary.

'This is why some of them are still screaming huh?'

Patients at the upper and lower floors, especially the ones at the bottom and top would have

been barely able to escape.

And some would have still gotten slaughtered, with other patients witnessing their deaths.

This, combined with their already health problems would have taken quite a toll on their

mental health.

Focusing his attention on the infirmary, Arthur walked forward, waving his hand to the side. Instantly, at least a hundred soldiers appeared at different spots outside the infirmary.

He gave them only a single order.

[Guard the patients with your lives.]

Once he was done, Arthur stepped inside the infirmary carelessly.

He was at a shortage of his soldiers now but there was no problem.

He could probably take care of the problem himself.

CLANK! CLANK! TAP! TAP!

The sounds of glass echoed in the corridor as Arthur walked on them along with his cane.

Taking a turn, he found a dark staircase, extending down below to the lower floor.

'Hmm.'

Arthur stepped forward, starting to walk down the stairs without a care in the world.

He didn't care about even the noises he was making.

Step. Step. Step.

As he took the last step down the long staircase, Arthur started to look around.

There was rubble and debris everywhere, indicating the destruction the group had caused in

the short time.

'Hmm, nothing here.' Arthur looked at a large rock through his monocle.

Suddenly, a piercing sound echoed in the air.

SHEENG!

But suddenly, it died out down completely.

Silence reigned in the room again.

A slight smirk spread on Arthur's face as he looked to his side.

Tick....Tick...Tick...Tick.Tick.Tick1!Tick!Tick!Tick!

The sounds of a mechanical clock, reversing at a breakneck speed echoed in the air.

Arthur raised his arm with a mocking smile, as his monocle eye, which was a golden mechanical clock now, locked with the dagger in front of him.

It cleanly floated in front of him, soundlessly vibrating in the air as if it was trying to escape

something.

Arthur's chronic-eye spun continuously backwards.

Suddenly, several more air-piercing sounds were heard in the air.

But Arthur wasn't fazed at all, remaining completely motionless.

In the next instant, tens of daggers appeared in front of him.

But like the previous one, all of them suddenly stopped at a meter before him, starting to

vibrate like the other one.

The crystalline blue mechanical hands spinning inside Arthur's eyes spun at such a speed that they seemed to form a beautiful crystalline blue pattern in his golden eye.

Arthur's smirk widened as he stepped forward, clenching his raised fist.

At the same moment, all the daggers vibrating before him disintegrated into a black powder,

falling on the floor.

Arthur's mouth finally opened as he stared at the multiple red-robed figures in front of him. "Oops. you missed me. Wanna shoot again?"

The robed figures, who seemed to be shocked out of their minds were frozen in place.

Tick. Step.

"Well, if you aren't going to move then..." Arthur's maniacal smile widened.

"I will!"

He disappeared from his spot in a golden blur.

And within a nanosecond, appeared before the farthest robed-figure.

The latter's eyes widened as she swung her arms in an attempt to defend herself.

But...

Arthur's hand grabbed her hooded face, smashing it straight into the side wall, creating a

gigantic crater.

Tick. SMASH!

The whole building rumbled at the large impact, tiny rocks falling from above as the woman's

head turned into a bloody mush.

Her headless body cleanly slumped down on the ground, dead.

Arthur retracted his bloody fist, simultaneously turning his head slightly to the figures behind

him.

His chronic eye locked with their gazes, making a shudder run down their bodies.

"Next." Was the single last word that they heard from his cold voice.

Tick.
