The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 89: Void Training [4]



****

Amon walked to a nearby tree with a stumbling gait.

Near him, three dead bodies of starless gorillas lay, their eyes lifeless.

As he slumped against a tree, he panted fastly and loudly.

"Наа....Наа....На...."

His equipment had lots of cuts now with his shoulder would still dripping fresh blood and exposing his flesh.

His mouth twitched as he touched one of his wounds.

As he was about to do something further, 4 notifications arrived in front of him.

[The Void inside you grows larger...]

[The Void inside you grows larger...]

[The Void inside you grows larger...]

[The Void inside you grows larger...]

Taking one look at them, he then looked at his palms, which both had several deep cuts in them.

He had grabbed those blades with bare hands, letting them seep into his skill.

He winced in pain every now and then.

Ignoring them, Amon tore several pieces of clean cloth from his equipment and used them to dress the cuts on his palm and body.

For a while, he laid back against the tree for some rest but was unable to properly close his eyes in fear of beasts and the pain of his wound.

Fortunately, just 5 minutes into his rest, he heard a deep gushing sound from nearby.

Grabbing the tree for support, Amon stumblingly walked amidst the trees to where the sound was coming from.

He was hoping he would be correct.

On his way, he was lucky that he didn't see any monsters.

'They probably headed towards where the crane had crashed or are present near the mantis.'

As he finally crossed the remaining trees, his face pulled up into a smile as he saw a gushing river passing in the forest.

It was surprising.

Finding a river in a starless void expanse.

Nevertheless, he was grateful for this discovery.

Settling near the edge of the river, where he could hide among some trees, Amon started to clean his palms.

Afterward, he used the water to clear his shoulder wound of any debris or thing that might infect the wound.

It was obviously still going to get infected later on but he would like to prolong it as much as he could.

He tore off a large piece of his equipment and started dressing his shoulder wound as well.

At that moment, he had never felt more grateful that he had taken those survival and wilderness lessons.

Following that, he laid against the tree to get some rest.

But even he wasn't expecting that as soon as his back touched the tree, roots sprouted out of the ground.

They coiled around his body in a second and attached him to the bark of three.

Instinctively, he quickly grabbed his odachi.

As soon as his back was completely attached to the tree, something unexpected happened. The bark...

It started burning up in purple flames.

The heat scorched his back, making him scream in the process.

Pain...

It was so much that his mind lost all process to think rationally at the moment.

He slashed his odachi without a thought, cleaving the roots in two.

But to his dismay, they grew back again, holding him to the tree.

His equipment burnt up and he felt as if molten lava was being poured onto his back.

His voice died down.

His mind drowned into his consciousness.

He tried to bite his lip to stay awake.

His heart throbbed and the sound in his ears died down.

All he could hear was the crackle of flames that impacted his back at the moment.

The pain continued forever, completely burning his back and exposing his flash.

But at that moment, it turned numb.

His mind completely shut down into a void of nothingness.

His inky black eyes turned pitch hollow.

His body moved on his own as he grabbed the odachi and thrust it toward his own neck.

But at the last moment, he snapped his neck to the side, making the blade's edge effortlessly

pass through.

The blade dug into the bark of the tree, emerging from the other side.

And at that moment, the flames were completely extinguished.

His body slumped sideways, falling on the grass.

He was teetering at the edge of his consciousness.

He couldn't feel his body anymore.

It all felt like jelly. Amon doubted he could even move it.

There existed a pitch-black hazyness inside his mind at the moment, enabling him to think

nothing.

At that moment, he thought to just slash himself with his own sword and end himself.

It was alright. It was just a [Void Training]. He could fail it.

Not like he was going to die.

He could just do it again later.

But as he was about to close his eyes, all the reasons not to fail came into his mind.

He couldn't afford to lose here.

He needed to see the first arc through. He needed to get stronger to handle the problems if

they arose with Daniel.

He complained about being weak after all.

And now that he had the chance to grow stronger, he was chickening out.

And the final reason....

Amon needed to get that [Void] element.

And at that moment, all the clarity inside his brain returned and he gasped loudly.

"Haaa....haaa..Haa"

Sweat trickled down his forehead as he stumblingly stood up.

He suddenly realized something.

The pain....

It had become numb.

All the pain he could feel before...

It wasn't there anymore. His back, his shoulder...

Totally numb.

Before he could ponder further, he heard several growls erupting through the trees from the

forests behind him.

The beasts...

They were close. And they were coming in a horde.

He grabbed his odachi. Pain, had become numb to him now. Better to utilize it the best way he

could, he thought.

It was a large wave of monsters that was attracted by his screams and the flame.

'I hope this is the last wave of monsters...'

And all at once, they jumped out of the trees while he leaped back into the river.

'Come. Let me get the final point for the element.'
