An Extra’s POV

For the first time in forever, Rey felt the fear of death.

It was so raw and vivid, as he watched the Divine Beast close in on him with its mighty jaws and overwhelming presence.

Then—

~FWISH!~

In one swift translocation of space, he was able to shift a few meters backwards, completely avoiding the fatal strike from the mindless beast.

"Haa… haa…!" Rey's widened eyes, moist from the fear, gazed upon the Divine Beast as he breathed heavily.

None of his classmates were in sight, which meant their transportation was successful. Lucielle and Brutus were also not present.

'Good! That's good!'

Beads of sweat appeared on Rey's face, and his throat slowly began to itch. He swallowed the saliva that had formed inside as he kept his gaze on the terrifying monster in front of him.

'This thing… it's too dangerous!'

The more he observed it, the more Rey could see Ater's point about challenging a Divine Beast. Not only did it have better Stats, but most of Rey's Skills wouldn't even do anything to the thing.

'Fighting it head on is impossible. It's far stronger and faster.'

The reason Rey could keep up somewhat was due to the spatial manipulation and awareness that [Domain Of The Lord ] offered him. It was almost like precognition.

Adding that to his experience fighting Monsters, his battle prowess, and intelligence—compared to the mindless creature—he was able to somehow hold his ground.

That wasn't enough, though.

'The only way I can win is to somehow use my number of Skills, and even with them…' Rey clenched his teeth as he tried his best to breathe normally.

[Dead Calm] had never been under as much strain as it was right now.

'Come to think of it… I've not seen it use any Skill. Or maybe it has Passive Skills that I haven't noticed. If I can use the same Skills, then I can stand a chance here…'

Before Rey could check out his Skill List, however, he noticed something.

'H-huh?! Where is it looking?' The Divine Beast completely removed its attention from Rey and turned in a particular direction.

He already knew, just from a single glance, the location of significance that existed there.

Capital? No…
