An Extra’s POV

Death stared down at Anukus.

The Grand Fire Elemental was far taller than Anukus was, and its imposing build put his muscular physique to shame.

The weak, pathetic one was none other than him.

As he was forced to raise his head to meet the creature's gaze, he felt a sense of inevitability.

The fear he thought he had forgotten slowly began to rise to the surface.

His body seemed paralyzed; with both arms still outstretched and his form the same.

Perhaps he feared that if he took a single step, the creature would notice and strike him down.

He couldn't even tremble for fear that it would register it as movement and end his life.

The doubts that seared his mind weren't present any longer.

Now that he was up close with the thing… Anukus knew.

This was a Grand Fire Elemental.

'H-how…?! How did he do it!' Anukus thought about the masked man that summoned this monstrosity.

'Does this mean he's on par with the Grand Mage? No… could he be stronger?'

No… that was going too far.

'Ahh… I don't even know what to think anymore!'

The only thing he knew was that if he didn't do anything, he was going to die.

'I won't be dying, though…'

There was one other way he could win this fight that he hadn't yet forgotten.

'I admit that this monster is far behind my capabilities, but…'

Anukus' eyes turned to see the man who had summoned the thing.

He was just standing still, almost as if he was a statue.

'He must be exhausted after summoning this thing. Now is the perfect chance to strike him down.'

Anukus knew what he had said before—about how he would save him for later—but now wasn't the time to mess around.
