Reborn as an Extra

'That damn octopus is here again!'

Rio looked back and the monster standing right in front of the ship, as if stopping their way forward. Seeing this octopus everyone's mood became gloomy again. Not to mention that they have just suffered heavy casualties a few days ago. A fight with a S rank monster can be more dangerous at a time like this.

Just like the last time it is here with his huge army the only change is that now there's no monster above C rank in its army. Obviously, its because they got killed in the last fight. Unlike low-rank monsters, high-rank monsters are rare, they can't be found so easily.

But still, other than Ms. Anna, no one on the ship can fight that octopus.

Just when Rio was thinking all this, suddenly he felt pain in his head the pain was like an instant killing attack, it directly attacked his consciousness. Rio instantly fainted from the pain and collapsed directly on the ship floor.

Unknown to others, a creepy smile appeared on the octopus, as if it has accomplished its greatest goal. It started to wave its tentacles in victory. Seeing the octopus so happy, Ms. Anna sneered in her heart.

'The heck is this monster so happy about, do it think that it can win easily just because I am injured?' (Anna)

In the last fight against those A rank monsters Ms. Anna got injured and hasn't recovered fully yet. But she can see that this monster also hasn't recovered from its last wounds. Yet, this guy is celebrating as if it's already victorious. Thinking about this Ms. Anna's face instantly became cold, the anger of losing her perfect record flared up now, her eyes became bloodied and a crazy smile appeared on her face:

"It's been so long, since someone dare to look down on me! Today either you will leave alive or me! I will chase you to the depths of the hell today! A mere monster dare looks down on this honorable Mage! If my colleagues knew of this! where will my face as a Fire wizard go!" (Anna)

She immediately released her immense aura towards the monster. Yet, the monster just ignored her and started to leave, instead of fighting. Seeing the monster leaving the expression on Anna's face became even more crazy. She immediately casted a fly spell on herself and a shield spell on the ship, then she immediately flew towards the monster's direction.

Just as the octopus thought it has left the range of the mage's attack, it was immediately greeted by a fire arrow bombardment of a terrifying scale. It was as if the whole sky has been covered by the fire. This is the true might of a S rank Mage.

There has been a saying in this world: - "Never insult a mage and a knights honor, even if they are weak".

This saying came to be in existence due to a low-rank mage who was once despised due to his talent being low by a martial artist. The mage became crazy after being insulted, he started absorbing mana like crazy and used even his life essence to cast a S rank spell even though when he was Only at B rank. This spell destroyed the whole city at that time. Even the martial artist's with strong bodies got reduced to ashes.

The same goes for a knight, once a knight's honor is insulted, he will definitely take revenge on you even if costs his own life for this. Due to these crazy events there has been a tacit understanding between people. Due to which Mages and Knights are always honored everywhere they goes. Overtime, this prestige became unique to them.

The octopus became wounded by that sudden attack, it got enraged by this sneak attack and stopped fleeing. It used its huge tentacles, strengthened them with mana and launched towards the mage. Yet, it yielded no result.

Anna just flicked her wand and a huge hand made of pure blue flames appeared out of nowhere, the hand directly caught the tentacles and burned them to ashes. Although the octopus's monster can regenerate its tentacles but it takes time and energy. If all of its tentacles got destroyed, it will be killed very easily.

The monster applied water affinity to its tentacles this time, giving itself a cover of flames thus protecting itself from the burn of Anna's Fire. The both of them fought just like this and their fight continued with one launching powerful spell as easily as breathing and the other trying to defend itself by covering its body with water.

The monster and Anna both were in a stalemate now, Anna knew that if this continued, she will run out of her mana eventually and the monster also knew that it can't protect itself for long by using water. The was being turned into steam by Anna's fire magic which was hurting the monster itself. Although, it was a little slow but it was hurting it and the octopus knew it won't be long when it loses its defense.

The stalemate continued for a while and the unavoidable happened, the monster not being a mage exhausted its mana source which was small in comparison to Anna who is an official mage. Obviously, Anna have also use about half of her mana just in exhausting this octopus. It still has its huge body, which can endure several spells.

The monster became desperate now and started to wave its tentacles wildly towards her. The biggest disadvantage of a monster now showed itself. Generally, monsters have skills when they evolve but since almost every monster only depends on their body for everything, they never really train their skills. Only a few monsters like Dragons or phoenix's do train their skills. Other monster just fights with their body.

This causes them to lose advantage of their huge body when they run out of mana. Without mana they cannot strengthen their body anymore, thus making them venerable to the skills of their enemies.

In desperation the monster used its own body to tank Anna's spells and started to get wounded and exhausted but Anna was not doing much well too. If this remained same, both the octopus and Anna will die together here in the battle today.

Even though they knew this, they still continued to fight for each other's life because there's no going back now this is already a life or death battle no one of them will step back now. Only death can stop this battle now.

Suddenly the stalemate broke, the octopus which was still fighting until now suddenly went limp. Its tentacles dropped in the water lifeless. Its body became pale. Its gigantic body started to sink in water lifelessly and any sign of life was already absent in its body.

Seeing the monster die so suddenly Ms. Anna became confused but she was already too exhausted to care so much she directly left the scene and came to the ship. After she landed on the ship, she directly collapsed on the deck. In the end the students carried her back to the healer's office.

Everyone thought that Ms. Anna was the one who killed the octopus's monster in the end. The ship continued its way towards the academy and everything returned to peace. Except for one person.

A few hours ago: -

Just when Rio collapsed, Lia walked out of the room. She has already recovered from her state of exhaustion and when she wanted to take stroll in the fresh air, she found that the ship was under attack. But due to her still not being fully recovered she was not able to take part in the battle.

But then she suddenly noticed that Rio can't be seen fighting among the students. She knew that Rio has always fought together other students in every battle, so its impossible for him to hide somewhere from the battle.

She got worried in her heart and started to look for him and eventually she found him. He was collapsed on the backside of the ship. No one was around here due to which he was not yet taken to the healer's office. She checked his heartbeat and he seemed fine to her.

She thought that he has collapsed from exhaustion just like her. So, she took him to the healer's office. The healer said that he is just unconscious and will wake up when he has recovered. So, she just started to take care of him in the meantime.

Rio's Pov-

When I lost consciousness, I suddenly felt someone calling me, I looked towards the voice and a familiar gigantic octopus appeared in my vision. It was looking down on me as it has always been doing, just like that strange dream:

"IT'S BEEN SO LONG!!! LAST TIME YOU GOT AWAY DUE TO THAT MAGE'S INTERFERENCE!!! BUT NOW I WON'T LET YOU GO AWAY!!! TODAY YOU WILL DIE!!!"

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" (Rio)

"A RAT LIKE YOU!!! YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW!!! ABOUT THE GREAT FRAGMENTS!!!"

"What fragment?" (Rio)

"YOU JUST DIE!!!"

Suddenly, an immense pain assaulted Rio, he felt as if his soul and will are being attacked. He had a feeling that he will die today if he did nothing now. If his soul and will collapsed, his body will just become a living corpse, which will just continue to breath and exist without any will of its own like a rock on the side of a road.

[Ding! Your soul and will is being attacked by a name monster 'Karpil'!]

[Warning! defend your will and soul or you will be dead!]

Seeing this message, he became desperate now, all the memories of this world started to flash in his mind.

'tsk, didn't expect to encounter a named monster'

'A named monster', as it is suggesting, when a monster gains its own true name it becomes a named monster. 'Karpil' is just a single letter of that octopus monster's name. Generally, when a monster awakens its true name it is 20 letters long, and in species like dragons and phoenix this name can even be as long as 50 words! Yeah! They have such long names, so they use a letter from their name to use as the representing letter of their name.

A true name gives the power to understand the laws of world to the monster. Monsters who have accomplished their true name are extremely rare and they are just like the child of heavens and are protected by the heavens.

You are thinking, why would heavens will protect a monster? Its rather simple humans are not the only species in this world and all the living creatures are creation of the heavenly will. Every race is equal in its eyes. So, they enjoy their own benefits. Same goes for monsters. They can achieve the power to understand the law of world by awakening their true name, but this is extremely rare.

And very few name monsters can live to their prime because they are targeted by several forces all over the world. The power to understand the laws gives you great help in understanding unusual type skills, which can be used during the battles on your opponents. Obviously, they have several restrictions on these skills. They generally have a long cooldown time too.

Just as Rio was getting desperate due to the pain, suddenly the pain disappeared as if blocked by an impenetrable wall. All the energy of the attack was absorbed by this wall. It defended his soul and will perfectly:

[An unusual skill has been used on you!]

[True immunity has been activated!]

[The attack has been blocked!]

[The energy of the attack is being absorbed…..Complete!]

[Counter-attacking with the absorbed energy of the unusual skill!]

[Counter-attack successful!]

[The opponent's soul and will has been destroyed due to the counter-attack!]

Just as Rio thought that messages will now stop, he was surprised again by a mysterious notification:

[You have killed the holder of the 'unknown fragment' Karpil, the fragment is being transferred to you now, as a reward!]

'What?'
