Reborn as an Extra

Spire of Ascension, Floor 7.

Ocean world.

*BOOOM!*

A giant sword and a spear collided with each other and produced an extremely powerful shockwave that caused the seawater to splatter in all directions.

"Quite chivalric of you to be fighting such a fair duel, but don't expect mercy from me…"

Jin and Alverto walked on the water surface and moved at an extreme speed; both of their weapons clashed for a while, and they jumped away to make some distance.

"I am surprised that you are capable of moving this fast… You have already reached rank SS…"

Hearing Jin's words, Alverto smiled a bit and shook his head.

"Actually, I haven't reached rank SS as of yet… The thing is, we are inside the 'Spire of Ascension' summoned by me… I can make myself as strong as I want to…"

Jin smirked at those words and spoke in a mocking tone.

"Despite being one of the most talented demons and having lived more than two hundred years… you still haven't reached rank SS and have to rely on this weird building for it?"

"I guess the word genius doesn't suit you after all…"

[Snow Tiger Sword Art: Frozen Dragon of Dread!]

Jin used time elementals to enhance his movement speed; he placed his sword above his shoulder and stomped his right feet before launching at Alverto with an insanely high speed!

*BOOOM!*

Jin was so fast that he instantly surpassed the speed of sound, and in a blink of an eye, his giant sword reached Alverto.

Covered in time elementals, Jin's sword seemed to have a dragon coiling around it made up of time elementals.

If hit by it, it will instantly age your body, causing immense damage to your life span.

In fact, it would be even more difficult to see and defend his sword attack because the attack will go ahead in time or back in time to hit you!

This is the reason why fighting time-type skill users are such a pain in the A*s; you won't even be able to defend against the attack.

[Chronos: Spear Art: Defensive Thrust!]

Alverto didn't even flinch a bit when Jin moved at such fast speed.

He immediately thrust his spear, and the tip of his spear collided with Jin's sword's blade precisely at such an angle that Jin's attack immediately lost all of its power and stopped on the spot.

[Demi-god's authority: Teleport!]

Every demi-god has the exclusive authority to open portals to places they have visited before or teleport freely to any place that is within their sight.

Seeing that his sword attack was stopped in track, Jin didn't care; he immediately teleported right behind Alverto and swung his sword in a horizontal manner.

[Snow Tiger Sword Art: Mountain Cleaver!]

As if Alverto had eyes on the back, he immediately stomped his feet and jumped up in the sky to dodge the attack.

Jin's sword swing has such immense power that just the air pressure created from that sword swing caused the massive sea to become restless as a massive tide was created!

Alverto, who was standing in the sky, glanced at Jin and spoke in a calm tone.

"Well, I didn't ascend to rank SS on purpose, actually… I have my reasons…"

"If not for those reasons, I would have already reached the level of Ashtel Rex at the least by now in all those years…"

Jin sneered at those words as he put his sword on his shoulder.

"You are talking bulsh*t now… Even with a few more centuries, you still can't surpass Mr. Ashtel… He's far away from your league!"

Alverto didn't get angry at all after hearing those words; instead, he nodded his head.

"Well, even I have to acknowledge that Ashtel Rex is quite the capable person; he nearly foiled my entire plan that day when he suddenly barged into the secret base and killed my capable subordinate…"

"That was the day when I nearly lost hope and thought it was all over… He really is quite excellent…"

"I like people like him who have firm goals and ambitions; he's the type who would not budge an inch of ground no matter what you try to do against him…"

"His loyalty for his race is unwavering… That's indeed worthy of praise…"

[Chronos: Spear Art: Broken Time Bane!]

A smile appeared on Alverto's face under that helmet, and he took his stance, then he thrust his spear thousands of times towards Jin in a matter of milliseconds!

He directly used his time elementals to skip the 'concept' of stabbing, and in fact he only stabbed once but used several 'instances' of that stab and made them all appear at once!

This is something only a very proficient time elemental user can do; he literally multiplied his attacks to many without doing more than one attach at all.

Jin, who has become extremely sensitive to time elementals was shocked to the core when he saw such insane mastery over time elementals and a look of seriousness appeared on his face.

'He has lived for more than two hundred years; it would be stranger if he doesn't have more proficiency than me in time elemental usage…'

It has barely been two years since Jin received his time-type authority; he can't compete with Alverto in proficiency at all!

[Snow Tiger Sword Art: Shockwave of Deflection!]

Jin condensed an immense amount of time elementals in his palm and punched his sword with immense force, causing it to vibrate and produce a powerful shockwave containing time elements.

The shockwave collided with Alverto's spear attacks and messed up the flow of time elementals causing the 'Multiple' spear attack to get nullified in an instant!

*BOOOM!*

Jin and Alverto weapons collided with each other once again, and the two of them backed off to make some distance again.

"You know, the reason why I can only use early SS-ranker strength to deal with you right now is also, Ashtel Rex…"

"You see, I have a lot of burden on my mind right now… I have to put a part of my mind into maintaining the upper floors of the Spire of Ascension…"

"Although Ashtel is also busy in his own battles… every casual move he pulls causes massive damage to the spire of ascension…"

"Aside from that, I also have the monsters and demons to manage… So, yeah, don't feel that I am taking pity on you or anything; it's just that I can't use my full strength right now…"

"This is a fair fight anyway…"

Although Alverto's words seemed to say that he was doing his best and not purposely belittling Jin by not using the power of the Spire of Ascension to make himself Peak SS ranker instantly.

Jin still felt quite conflicted in his heart about this.

"Well, Mr. Ashtel has always been a reliable person like that… I can't blame him for taking all of the spotlight for himself… But I must say, not taking me seriously wouldn't benefit you either..."

While speaking with each other, the two of them walked in a circle with the tips of their weapons being dragged on the surface of water.

The two of them both embedded the area with time elementals at the same time, and as if they could predict what the other party was going to do, they used a similar type of boosting ability!

[Chronos: Time Delay: Reversal Time Path!]

Alverto added a time-related boost to himself, giving him immense speed and another mysterious boost.

Jin did the exact same, but he was less proficient; each time he uses time elementals like this, he consumes tons of mana.

"I was shocked at the news when I found out that someone had awakened a time-related world authority… My plan was already at it's end, and the sudden appearance of you was really bad for me…"

"I can't let you exist, Jin Walt… Your authority over time isn't something I can gamble with; I must eliminate this possibility…"

"You are currently trying to keep up with me, but keep in mind that I have polished my proficiency with time elementals for centuries; you are but a novice in front of me…"

"Moreover, as long as the spire of ascension is intact, its internal laws will remain relatively intact…"

Alverto aimed his spear at Jin's heart and spoke in a cold tone.

"In simple words, I will never run out of mana, and I also have enough ability... I wonder how long you can keep up with me…"

Jin wasn't intimidated in the slightest by Alverto's words; instead, a smirk appeared on his face.

"We will see; you aren't the only one with such a powerful hidden card up your sleeve…"

*BOOOM!*

[Snow Tiger Sword Art: Frozen Spears of Death!]

Jin waved his hand and summoned hundreds of spears made up of ice elementals and launched them all in Alverto's direction!

"These tricks won't work on me!"

Alverto immediately took his stance and spun his spear in a circular motion!

[Chronos: Destroyer: Spinning time vortex!]

Alverto manipulated the time elementals as he spun his spear and created a vortex made out of time elementals.

He reverted those spears back to the form where they were 'Not created'. In simple words, he reversed time for them and literally erased them from existence!

Jin already knew this was going to happen; the reason why he threw those ice spears was to create an opportunity.

[World Authority: Zeit Instante!]

[Time Breaker Sword Art: Void Piercer!]

When Alverto was focused on those ice spears, Jin thrust his giant sword in the air; it's front part literally penetrated the void and appeared behind Alverto's back, hitting him directly in the back!

*BOOOM!*
