An Extra’s POV

The shock of Adonis' initial strike echoed in the air, sending a thunderous noise reverberating across the space.

Many eyes widened in shock upon seeing this, two of which belonged to Rey.

'That blow was incredibly strong. It would have caused a lot of damage to my Jet persona.' Rey was recoiling in confusion as he stared at Adonis.

'What the hell? Why is he being so aggressive? And calling me a Dragon Spy?'

It made no sense to him!

'Maybe he's hallucinating now?' Rey looked behind Adonis, hoping at least someone in his group could see what was happening here, but everyone had their arms folded and stared at him.

'E-eh?!'

No one reacted surprised or even worried that two Heroic Rank Adventurers were fighting. It was nearly creepy the way they looked—especially at him.

Their stern expressions told him that they were not on his side.

'Why? Could it be… some sort of mind control?' Rey tried to use his [Absolute Appriasal], but the moment his eyes glowed, Adonis charged at him with another powerful strike that would be dangerous if he was still following the 'Jet' narrative.

He still didn't understand what was going on, but he couldn't give these people more reasons to suspect him.

~BOOOOM!~

Adonis' punch was strong enough to break the clear marble tiles that served as footing instantly causing the ground to tremble. The only way Rey could avoid it was by evading to the side, and even that was a close call.

'He's much faster than he displayed as Sebas. How is that even fair…?!'

If he was forced to stick with his persona, why was Adonis coming out of it and getting no complaints? Fortunately, he was about to find out using [Absolute Appraisal]!

'Let's search for any negative Status Conditions.'

Rey checked a few random people at once, but what he saw shocked him… almost as much as the next attack that neared his stomach in the form of a kick.
