The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 213: The Kidnapping [3]



***

Amon did not waste any time.

He immediately jumped upon a tree branch, prioritizing stealth first.

Once he landed, he pushed [Void Eyes] to their maximum capacity for a few seconds.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Everything around him instantly slowed and quietened down to a hum.

Only after thoroughly investigating the area around him, did he settle down.

He took a deep breath.

'Okay, good. They aren't here.'

Athena's voice came from above.

[Okay, all 1250 students have been transported to the area successfully. Now, I'll explain the terrain. There are four regions in this circular map.]

Amon listened to her attentively while keeping an eye on him.

[There is a Tundra, Forest, Desert, and Sea region, all divided into quarters along the map.

To make it more realistic, the students have been distributed randomly in the regions. Because of that, one region might be overloaded and one might be deserted.]

'Hmm.'

Amon spread his senses.

He still couldn't feel any presence around him.

Unless a student was exceptionally talented in stealth, he doubted anyone could sneak up on him without the latter noticing.

He was pretty sure there was no one on this map stronger than him.

'Maybe Michael or Ren could be close to me...'

Amon put himself on full alert while Athena continued.

[Because of the high amount of students, we are not going to follow the last-to-survive tactic in this battle royale.

For this, all of your students have a total time of 6 hours. The person with the most kills at the end of this timer will be the winner. I know it sounds unfair for you people who are in deserted areas, but that's how life is.

You need to prepare yourself for the future. Additionally, you can team up or use any tactic, however, except for armentists who can use weapons, they are not allowed for clovists.

The use of artifacts is also not permitted for any category.

Familiar physical forms are also not allowed due to the high population. However, you can use their mini-forms however you want. Skills are also allowed.

You will only use things you either craft in this map yourself or the ones provided from the start.

With that all said, I wish you all the best of luck.]

And then, the voice cut.

Amon wasn't surprised that much.

The rules of the match were at least, the same from the novel.

The only problem here was that Amon was in a region where Michael never spawned in the novel.

There was no knowing how this match would go.

'Especially, since it's close to happening.'

But he still kept himself alarmed in case the plotline changed and Michael spawned in his region.

He never trusted the plotline fully now. There were too many changes, also caused by him.

A single mistake could lead to the death of even a main cast member. Worst case, it could be even him.

'I should move now. Okay, you two come out.' Amon talked to Vain and Zephyra.

Immediately, Zephyra spawned on his shoulder while Vain looped around his sleeved arm.

'Keep an eye around for any people. I can never trust my senses enough.'

[Alright.]

[Got it.] Both of them replied.

He had already talked to them about the plan last night.

Without any further talk, he dissolved some parts of his body into smoke before shooting forward.

Traveling from branch to branch, Amon used [Void Eyes] for a split second from time to time. 'Fuck, is this area deserted?'

It was never told in the novel which area was crowded and which wasn't.

Especially the forest one since it was directly opposite to Michael's spawning area, the desert.

Because of the far distance, it was never discussed.

He had been jumping from tree to tree but had found no sign of a student yet.

As he jumped to another branch and deactivated his familiar art, his senses suddenly went on

full alert.

'Finally, they are close.' Amon noticed.

'It seems like they haven-'

His eyes suddenly widened as he tilted his head a little, narrowly escaping an arrow.

It lodged itself into the tree with precise accuracy.

Amon's eyes instantly moved along with his body as he tried to locate the source of the attack.

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to see anything because of the tall and thick trees.

Even the sunlight was unable to pass through, which took out much of the light.

'I'm missing the attack.' Amon clicked his tongue.

'You guys saw anything?'

[Nope, it's too hard to see because of the obstacles.] Vain replied.

[Yeah, I'm surprised someone was even able to shoot from afar and with such a tiny space.]

Amon gritted his teeth.

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to contemplate much on the thought as his senses blared again.

Without looking, he quickly jumped off the branch he was currently standing on to another branch before jumping down.

In the next second, a fireball struck where he was standing, completely obliterating the branch and a portion of the tree.

Landing on the ground, Amon skidded a little before balancing himself.

Looking up with his calm and stoic eyes, he saw them all.

'I was too occupied with the attacker. They caught me.' Amon realized.

All around him, on every single branch of a tree, multiple students were standing.

They all gazed down at him below on the ground.

Everyone was focused on him.

There was no use to talk or negotiate.

All of them had already made up their minds.

To team up and eliminate him first.

But it made him wonder.

'Had they noticed me from the start?' Amon thought.

Because it didn't make sense for him to keep moving together even when they didn't see him.

Why weren't they fighting before seeing him?

It was suspicious.

But he knew that there was no use to talk to them. They weren't going to listen to anything.

Amon stared at one of them, standing on the highest branch out of all of them.

Silence reigned in the surroundings as the only sound was the whisper of a breeze passing

through.

But then, a small leaf broke from a branch, swerving in the air as it lightly fell.

And in the next second, it beautifully settled on the ground.

And as if in silent agreement, all of them moved at the same second.

And hell broke loose.

A barrage of multi-elemental attacks formed in the air, shooting straight toward his location.

However, Amon didn't stay idle.

His form blurred as he immediately disappeared from his spot.

And before the attacks even landed on the spot where he was standing previously, his form

appeared once again.

He was standing on another branch now.

And right before him was a crouched student who had just attacked him.

Without hesitating, he placed one hand on his chin and the other on the top of his head.

And then...

SNAP!

Silent cracks -that were drowned by the sounds of the attacks- were heard in the air as Amon

snapped his neck, killing him.

His form disintegrated into blue pixels that were shrouded by the clouds of smoke erupting

from the attacks.

As the smoke subsided, a humongous crater was left in the spot where Amon was standing

previously.

The ground also rumbled continuously.

The students looked around in confusion, wondering if Amon was dead or alive. Because of the large amount of students, there was no calling out of the death of a person.

It also made it realistic since you never knew if someone would be alive or killed after a large-

scale attack like this on a battlefield.

It made them realize the risk of high-area coverage attacks.

But Amon made use of the confusion, quickly using [Voidstep] to appear on another branch.

Right in front of a student.

His hand shot forward, grabbing the student's face.

Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough to stop their sound.

Screams erupted out of the student's mouth as a torrent of amethyst-black flames engulfed

their whole form.

Amon kept his hand on the student's face for a couple of seconds before taking it off.

And as he took it off, the flames also dispersed, leaving beautiful purple embers in their wake.

While also leaving a sculpture of black ashes that disintegrated into blue particles in the next

second.

The students watched with agape mouths and widened eyes as one of their brethren disappeared right before them.

Amon looked at all of them with cold eyes as he was finally discovered.

One of the students, a female quickly composed herself and shouted. "GET HIM! NOW'S OUR CHANCE, WE CANNOT LET HIS DEATH GO TO WASTE!"

The other students snapped out of their illusions at her shout.

However, even then, the students hesitated to move.

All of them had seen what happened to the boy in front.

He couldn't even realize what happened to him in a single second.

The reality finally settled into their minds.

Amon was too strong. It was a mistake to meddle with him, no matter how big of a group they

were.

They should have just stuck to defeating weaker cadets since a kill was a kill. It was an idiotic

mistake.

But now they couldn't go back.

Especially when Amon set his cold eyes on them.

Multiple crimson spears formed around him as lightning simultaneously crackled around his

legs.

"If you aren't going to come...."

Amon launched towards a nearby student, quickly freezing their legs with crystal to stop their

escape.

A blood spear cleanly impaled their body while he manipulated the blood inside their body.

It erupted from the student's arms and legs, killing him and disintegrating his body as well. "Then, I will." He stared apathetically at every student.
