The Extra's Return

"Sibling?"

In the midst of the bloody scenes surrounding this place, suddenly a low-pitched voice came out of a woman's mouth.

Instantly, Daniel and I turned our gaze in the direction from which the voice came.

It turned out that the voice came from Willa's mount.

As soon as Daniel saw Willa, a sly smile tugged at his mouth.

"Wi-Willa, look what your brother, Mesties, did to me. I-Is this something a brother would do?"

He showed his severed arm. Of course, he didn't forget to show tears, snot, and sad expressions on his face.

That expression would indeed make anyone sympathize with him, but that didn't apply to Willa, who had just received bad treatment from Daniel.

And if I had to, I could also argue, "Aren't you the first one to want to kill me", or something like that.

But I choose to be silent.

Willa also didn't seem to respond to Daniel's words. She just covered her mouth with her hand. Her eyes kept shaking violently.

She may be surprised.

Seeing Willa who was silent without responding, Daniel suddenly started raging.

"Y-you bitch! Damn it! How dare… Why are you just keeping quiet?! Do you dare to fight me now!"

A series of profanity words left his mouth, followed by a torrent of spit that splattered everywhere.

But as soon as I came closer to him, it looked like he successfully regained his sense of the situation.

He retreated backward dragging his butt.

Strangely, I can see something wet between his legs.

"S-Stop. Don't come any closer! Please, spare me."

He tried to plead with a pitiful face.

I could feel the fear he was feeling because he would even pee in his pants like that.

But, it's a shame because from the start I had no intention of forgiving him.

"I don't have any more time, so I won't give you a chance to say any last words. Goodbye."

"S-stoooppp!!"

I thrust my sword to pierce Daniel's heart.

He did put up a bit of resistance by focusing Mana around his chest, but I was still able to penetrate Daniel's heart.

As a result, the tip of my sword penetrated all the way to his back.

A groan of pain escaped from his mouth.

Whereas his eyes, which were glaring at mine, showed extreme hatred. Even so, I wasn't scared at all. I just drew my sword like it was nothing.

As soon as my sword left his body, he lay flat on the ground. A pool of fresh red blood wrapped around his body.

What a terrible sight.

Just like that, I managed to end Daniel's history in this world.

As usual, when I had killed, a mysterious energy began to enter the Dark Stigma.

[The Stigma of Darkness has begun to absorb Death's Mana... The absorption process has failed.]

However, something out of the ordinary happened. I don't know why, but the Death Mana from Daniel's body can't be absorbed by the Stigma of Darkness.

Even though I hoped that the World System would notify me, the follow-up notification message never came.

Since the Hear of Everything Skill was still active, I could hear a sound that I identified as Death's Mana.

Death Mana's voice is different from that of ordinary Mana and Demonic Mana.

Ordinary Mana seems soothing, and Demonic Mana seems full of anger.

However, Death Mana is different. Death Mana is more like nothingness like there is sound but also like nothing.

And, that voice was coming out, flying and disappearing somewhere. That's the best explanation I can describe.

Unfortunately, I can't keep thinking about that. I already felt a strange stare from the moment I killed Daniel.

Turning my gaze, I saw the direction the strange gaze was coming from.

It turned out to be Willa.

She watched me with a frightened expression. She even covered her mouth as if she was going to vomit.

And when her eyes met my eyes, there was an obvious fear in her eyes.

'Does she think I'm not going to kill Daniel?'

If previously she might have felt that I was a brother at heart, I wanted to let her know through this action that I was not the brother she had always known.

I don't mind if she feels disappointed. I'll let her mind fly free. Even if she thinks that I have become a sadistic brother, I don't mind.

Instead of pretending to be kind by letting Daniel live, it's better to eradicate what would be a hindrance to me.

After all, I was a Mesties who came from the earth and a figure who had lived twice in this world, not the brother she had known all along.

Ignoring Willa, I just walked away.

But before I could escape, the dizziness in my head suddenly increased sharply. I can feel the pain coming from nowhere.

My eyes continued to scan my surroundings until they stopped just as I saw the fight between Gilbert and the Vice Knight Captain.

In the middle of their fight, a burst of fresh blood shot into the air.

And from there, I realized where the pain I felt was coming from. It turned out that the pain I was feeling was the aftereffect of the puppet I was controlling had received a fatal blow from the Vice-Knight Captain's Sword Aura.

My eyes subconsciously met the Vice Knight Captain's eyes, where his eyes looked ready to eat me alive.

Apparently, he still had time to avert his eyes in the middle of his fight with Gilbert.

"You guys, what are you doing, hurry and arrest that person. Do whatever it takes to catch him, even if you have to hurt him."

Was it because he had the upper hand against Gilbert, he could still yell at a bunch of useless soldiers between fights.

The soldiers didn't do anything else because Gilbert, the person they were fighting, was busy fighting the Knight Vice-Captain.

But they looked shabby.

Their armor was dented after the fight with Gilbert.

"I-is what we saw true? Did the second young master just kill the first young master?"

"It seems we saw right."

Contrary to Vice Knight Captain's orders, the other soldiers still looked confused.

Maybe they still don't believe that I killed Daniel.

Seeing the behavior of the soldiers who looked like kittens when given cat toys, made Vice-Captain Knight even more furious.

"Shit! Don't you guys have to hurry and see the first young master's condition? If he's still breathing, then you have to save him. As for the rest, you can catch the second young master."

"Th-then, what will happen if he dies?"

"...Then you—no—but we will all be finished."

"Hiccup!"

Their terrified voices rang clearly in my ears. They didn't even have time to prepare and adjust the positions of their helmets and iron armor because they had to immediately obey their superiors.

Such is the fate of the side characters. Somehow, I always have a special feeling when I see a group of people who I consider extra characters.

They immediately ran to Daniel.

Seeing Daniel wallowing in a pool of red blood, they gasped.

And after checking and finding that Daniel's breathing had stopped completely, they were sure that Daniel was Dead.

I may not be able to see because they are wearing full body armor, but I can tell you that they are in a cold sweat.

"Oh crap. The First Young Master Daniel is no longer breathing."

"W-what should we do?"

"Let's quickly catch the second young master Mesties first! We should at least catch him. Don't let us lose him, if he were to escape, we would all die for sure."

"A-Alright, I guess so."

The two soldiers who checked Daniel nodded to each other in agreement. Then they conveyed it to the vice knight captain. Along with the vice knight captain's anger, the soldiers also started letting out screams of their own.

"Hyaaa! Chase the second young master!"

Their screams echoed. Somehow, the soldiers chased after me like a bunch of demon-possessed people screaming loudly.

But they were too late.

I've been thinking of a way to escape ever since.

Luckily, I saw the horse-drawn carriage that Willa and Daniel previously rode in, so I could think of a way to escape.

'Since there are horse-drawn carriages, there must be horses to pull the carriages.' That's what I thought.

Indeed, there were two horses at the front of the carriage. There was also a coachman who was seen calming the two horses so they would not run away.

Luckily, when the coachman saw me, he immediately ran away in fright.

'He's smart.' The most perfect way of survival for an extra character is to avoid every conflict. Somehow, the coachman made me remember the way I lived in my previous life.

After that, I cut the rope and iron connecting the horse to the carriage. Then I mounted one horse and pulled the rope connected to the other horse.

That way, the other horse can run behind me. I took the other horse not only so the soldiers chasing me couldn't use it, but so it could be used for something else.

And that's how I managed to escape leaving behind the pursuers on foot without being able to catch up to me on horseback.

***

At another place.

Some time ago, there was someone who rode a fast horse out of Ryam City. He wore a hood that covered most of his body, including his face.

When the hood he was wearing opened due to the wind, his face began to show. He is Gil, the servant assigned to serve the Mesties in the Warwick family.

In contrast to the mysterious figure he displayed, he was actually sweating profusely as he continued to gallop, that was because he was in a hurry.

"Ah, damn it. Why does the meeting place have to be such a faraway place."

He muttered in annoyance.

He rode a horse to a village quite far from Ryam City.

What he wanted to do was contact the leader of the Ryam City Branch's Black Box Organization that was Gilbert. The reason for that was to convey something entrusted to him by Baron Warwick.

And if you're wondering why he's in such a rush, it's because he received a threat from Baron Warwick before he left.

"Quickly tell the leader of the Black Box organization. If you're late, I will have every soldier under my command find and kill you."

Finally, after receiving a death threat from Baron Warwick, he immediately rushed to the place where he usually met with the leader of the Black Box organization.

"I didn't expect an old noble like him to still give off such a terrifying aura."

When he thought back on the psychological pressure he had experienced from Baron Warwick, he got shivers.

Actually, it wasn't as if Baron Warwick had any powers or anything, it was simply the result of himself being overly anxious to the point of having strange delusions.

Unknowingly, he continued to accept bad luck. It all started when Mesties hit him to the point of causing him to have excessive anxiety.

"I hope he's not too late."

Before he left, he had already sent a message using a dove to the leader of the Black Box organization. But considering the message left to him by Baron Warwick was important, he had to tell him face to face.

Therefore, the message he sent via the dove was simply ordering the leader of the Black Box organization to come to a designated place.

And so he continued on his way.
