An Extra's POV-Chapter 979: War Of The End [Pt 2]
The shattered remains of the barrier still crackled with dark energy, dissipating into the air like dying embers.
The entire Northern Continent had been cloaked in its protective shell moments ago, but now it was gone—obliterated by Rey's Ultimate Ray. And yet, as he stepped into the heart of the enemy's domain, he barely spared the destruction a thought.
The tower loomed before him, a colossal construct of black metal and twisting obsidian, stretching toward the heavens like a spear meant to pierce the sky itself. From the outside, it was an ominous monument of darkness, but Rey knew the true defenses lay within.
He strode forward.
The moment his foot crossed the entrance, the air vibrated. Walls shifted, runes ignited, and a cascade of alarms blared through the tower.
[Security protocols activated].
Chains of red energy lashed out from the walls, seeking to bind him. Gigantic mechanical constructs emerged from the floors and ceilings, each wielding massive cleavers infused with nullification energy—designed to sever any form of power they came into contact with.
Hundreds of sentinels appeared from the shadows, their bodies forged from an unknown metal that shimmered with an otherworldly glow. Their eyes locked onto Rey, their weapons gleaming as they lunged toward him in unison.
A normal being—no, even an army of elite warriors—would have struggled against these defenses. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Rey did not.
His body blurred.
A single step, and the very air cracked.
The chains disintegrated before they could reach him. The towering constructs crumbled, their cores obliterated before their weapons could even be swung. The sentinels—formidable in every aspect—didn't even realize they were dead until their bodies split apart, severed by an invisible force.
He didn't need to fight. He didn't need to strategize.
He overpowered everything.
His sheer presence broke the defenses meant to hold an entire invasion force at bay.
And then, he was at the top.
The grand hall was vast, stretching endlessly in all directions. Black marble lined the floors, reflecting the eerie violet glow that emanated from the walls. Floating sigils carved into the very fabric of reality hummed with energy, and at the center of it all—standing behind an impenetrable wall of darkness—was Adrien.
Rey's eyes locked onto him.
Adrien appeared slightly different from what he remembered. His black hair had become long, framing his sharp features, his eyes pools of pure darkness with a faint glimmer of violet shifting within them. Shadows coiled around his body, rising and falling like living creatures, giving him an almost spectral appearance.
But there was something different about him.
Something… wrong.
Rey took a step forward. The dark barrier stood between them, thick and unyielding, its presence more suffocating than the one that had covered the entire continent.
This was stronger.
Adrien smiled. "Took you long enough."
Rey didn't return the sentiment. His golden gaze bore into Adrien's, his voice steady.
"It's time now, Adrien. Whatever you have planned, I'm ending it now."
Adrien let out a soft chuckle, shaking his head. "Do you really think you understand anything? Even now, after all this time?"
"You betrayed H'Trae, you betrayed me…" Rey's tone was sharp, cutting through the air like a blade. "You let this world fall into chaos just to achieve whatever twisted plan you've concocted."
There were a lot of things in Rey's mind, and a lot more to express, but there was no point in saying them at this moment. All he knew for sure was the resolve etched in his heart, and the determination to save this world which he loved so much.
"I'll never forgive you."
Adrien's expression remained unreadable. "And what would you have done, Rey? Stood by and watched? Played the hero? Clung to your morality while the real players moved their pieces?"
'How much does he know about the ones above?' Rey reasoned to himself, his fists clenched.
- Skills (Exclusive): [Reset]
- Skills (Non-Exclusive): [World Destruction]. [All Magic]. [Perfect Domain]. [Complete Dominion]. [Evil Personified].

[End Of Information]
"I see…" His voice was steady, but his chest tightened. "So the [Reset] Skill was with you all along?"
She didn't answer.
Instead, her wings spread wide, the black fractures in her eyes gleaming.
Adrien grinned. "Well then, shall we begin?"
The temperature dropped.
The hall darkened.
And Lucielle moved.

[A/N]
I have a new novel, everyone!
It's called Arcane Era, and it's on Webnovel at the moment. I hope you'll check it out now, or at least when you're done with this novel. It's definitely better than An Extra's POV, and I don't say that lightly.
Thanks for reading.
