The Extra's Return-Chapter 94 Acting Isn’t My Talent

When she was hearing my words, Jeanne finally stopped beating Duster. In a clenched position, her hands stopped in the air. Her face looked at me with her head slightly tilted.

The look in her eyes was full of hatred.

Suddenly she got up while still looking into my eyes.

Her lips suddenly bled when she was biting her lip so steadily.

"Wha-?"

!!

When she wanted to say something to me, she had to stop halfway. Her words were cut off and she failed to say them. The reason was because something had hit the back of her head.

She must have let down her guard against other things around her so that she was easily hit on the back of her head.

What had hit the back of her head was a magic staff.

The magic staff belonged to Duster. Then of course the person who slammed the magic staff into the back of Jeanne's head was him.

When he had the chance, I saw that he had suddenly risen like an undead. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

With a face that was already full of dents, he, who was originally lying on the ground helplessly, suddenly crawled to pick up the magic staff that had fallen not far from him.

He crawled pitifully, but he managed to reach his magic staff.

After that, he got up using his hands and feet.

With his back bent and a horrible smile fixed on his face, he hit the back of Jeanne's head as hard as he could.

His attack was not powerful, but it landed smoothly on the back of Jeanne's head.

Perhaps because Jeanne's stamina and Mana's energy were already drained, she immediately fell down even though she only received a gentle blow from Duster.

That was making Jeanne's body instantly in a prone position. There was no other movement from Jeanne's body, indicating that she was about to faint.

Her eyes began to close slowly.

Finally, the curtain came down on the show with Jeanne fully unconscious.

There was no blood coming out of the back of her head. Because of that, I wasn't sure if she fainted due to the blow from Duster or if she was just too tired.

"Hosh~ Hosh~ Arghh! This was so annoying, shit, f*ck, bastard!"

Duster slammed the magic staff to the ground while continuing to say words that no child should hear.

He was still swearing even though his face was covered in bruises. In addition, there was blood coming out of his nose and mouth. Anyone would laugh when they saw him.

When he finished slamming the magic staff, he placed his hands on his knees. The rhythm of the breath coming out of his mouth and nose was also very fast and messy.

Suddenly the system notification window came again in front of my eyes.

[Congratulations! You have successfully completed the Act Like A Villain quest.]

[The World System begins to assess your performance.]

[Results have been obtained. The World System has judged that you are not good at acting like a villain.]

[However, you still deserve a reward for doing the quest.]

[Rewards are being given.]

[Congratulations! You got the Shadow Mask and Black Robe.]

[Those items have been transferred into your Inventory.]

'Shadow Mask, Black Robe?'

The reward I got this time was different from the reward I had gotten so far.

This time I got two magic items.

'I'll see you later.'

Regardless of the reward I got, I sighed as I finished reading the system notification window.

"Sigh~"

The system notification telling me that the quest was completed finally appeared and I was able to read it smoothly.

However, when I read the system judgment, I felt disappointed.

'What else did I have to do to be judged maximally?'

Did I have to kill Jeanne?

Of course, I wouldn't.

I didn't want to become a slave of the World System anyway.

So, regardless of the World System's judgment, I was quite grateful to be able to get a reward.

'As expected, I was not good at acting and didn't have the talent to do acting.'

I guess it was time to end this useless charade.

With the appearance of the notification window from the World System, I could stop acting now.

I could do what I wanted to do from back then now.

"Urk!"

"L-Let us go!"

The voices of Colby and Nina who were still struggling to break free from my grip were heard.

In case you forgot, I was holding Colby and Nina by the neck. Of course, I hadn't lifted their bodies up so that they wouldn't die of asphyxiation.

"Do you guys want me to let go?"

"I-isn't it obvious?"

"Sure."

There was no longer any reason to torture small animals like them.

My two hands, which had been tied to the task of holding Colby and Nina's necks, were now completely relieved of their duties because their job was done. In easier words, I set Colby and Nina free.

Once Colby and Nina were free, they took a deep breath.

Huuup~

Haaa~

Their mouths are like fish that want to return to the ocean, opening and closing irregularly.

When they had calmed down a little, their eyes suddenly looked at me as if they couldn't believe that I had actually let them go.

"Do you want to save your Big Sister?"

Their eyes suddenly fell on Jeanne's body, so I made such a conclusion.

Gasp!

They suddenly held their breath.

"There is no need to be afraid. I have a task for you. If you drag the captives--the people who attacked the orphanage that you locked up in the inn-here, I will ensure your Big Sister's safety."

"H-how can we trust-"

The one who protested to me was Colby.

However, he was forced to stop talking because Nina suddenly stabbed him in the waist.

Nina whispered then, "Shut up and do what he has ordered!"

"Why should we obey his orders?"

"I don't know why. But clearly, I know he's not a bad guy. Don't you realize that he's not really gripping our necks seriously?"

"Eh. You're right too. But why-"

"Because you said that he was my savior. Ah, never mind. Let's go to where those people are being held, then bring them in front of him."

It seemed that they had made up their minds.

I did not comment at all on their whispers.

After they whispered among themselves, they then went deep into the inn.

Now...

"Inventory."

[Inventory Skill - Activated.]

I took the Svangur Sword from the Inventory.

When it came out of the Inventory, the Svangur Sword was still wrapped in a scabbard made of Slime. Then I immediately drew the Svangur Sword until the pitch-black blade felt the free air.

On the other hand, I didn't immediately put the scabbard made of Slime into Inventory, instead, I turned the Slime into earrings.

[You have successfully turned the Slime into an earring.]

It turns out that it's not difficult to turn it into an earring.

When I imagined small earrings, the scabbard in my hand automatically transformed into what I imagined.

Next, I put them in my ears.

I turned the Slime into earrings so that, when I needed something, I could easily turn the Slime into the thing I needed.

Finally, holding the Svangur Sword, I walked out of the inn. I walked while stepping on the rubble of the inn's walls.

With an extremely firm grip, I dragged the Svangur Sword across the floor.

I focused on Duster.

"Ptooey~ Haa~ f*ck!"

He spat blood from his mouth.

"You stupid bitch. How dare you make me like this!"

He suddenly lifted his right leg up. He did so with difficulty. He took a stance as if he was trying to kick Jeanne's body lying on the ground.

His face was mixed between happiness and anger. As proof, he was smiling. But there was a vein protruding at his temple.

Scratch!

The Svangur Sword's scream echoed as it rubbed against the ground.

In the blink of an eye, I advanced with the intention of attacking. Before he actually managed to land his rotten soles on Jeanne's smooth body, I pushed my body forward with all my might.

[Strengthening Skill - Active.]

[Amplification Skill - Active.]

[Swordsmanship Skill - Active.]

[You successfully activated the Additional Option on Swordsmanship Skill: Three Sword Paths to Heaven.]

[You used the basic move Slash.]

[The First Paths: Slash (Beginner) - Active.]

As if my body had been possessed by a demon, I attacked with all the combat ability I had.

Blink!

Step!

I stopped my steps the moment I finished attacking. It happened in less time than the blink of an eye.

Huh?

He made a confused face when he realized that I was near him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't keep that confused face for too long.

Suddenly, his face became extremely distorted.

That was because his right leg, which was raised slightly into the air, was suddenly cut into two pieces.

The part that had already been cut off was his thigh. His thigh was suddenly cut horizontally.

As a result, his right leg, starting from the knee to the sole of his right foot, fell to the ground and lay in a horrible way.

Yes, I was the one who had cut off his leg.

A waterfall of blood poured down from his severed limbs.

It took a few milliseconds for him to realize that he was being injured. However, the moment he realized it, he ended up screaming in pain.

"Ah~ Aaarrrggh!!! M-my l-leg!"

Because he lost his leg, he could not maintain the balance of his body to stay standing. As a result, he could only scream while rolling on the ground.

His hands tried to grab his leg, trying to convince himself that his leg was fine.

Unfortunately, the reality was cruel.

He could only continue to moan in pain.

Indeed, when a person was unaware of the wound on their body, then that person would likely not feel pain. However, when they see that their body was injured, then, instantly, the pain would run through their body.

That was proof that the human mind has to realize that its body has been injured in order for them to feel pain.

I speak through my experience.

When I went into battle and was wounded, I tended to ignore the wound until I managed to kill the enemy in front of me. Otherwise, my mind would be distracted by the wound on my body and I would feel a nagging pain.

"Now, are you ready to die?"
