I Became a Darkened Extra - Chapter 110
Episode 110 – For the next level.
110. For the next level.
A cold metal blade falls between my eyes.
—Kakang!
Two upward strikes like a beam of light twisted the trajectory. The metal blade grazed the edge of my ear at intervals of a sheet of paper.
‘Eighty.’
Muttering inwardly, Leon stretched out his left arm. The mana that flowed through his arms condensed into his palms.
Paang!
Cheren’s side kick was blocked by her palm. Leon took a few steps back before he could fully absorb the shock.
‘Nine.’
Cheren’s toes twist. Leon, seeing that, reflexively tilted her body diagonally.
An honest horizontal slash was fired.
Kagagagak!
Leon’s tilted blade barely missed the slash.
‘Ten.’
Now is the critical moment. Leon opened his eyes wide.
In his sparring match with Cheren, he still couldn’t get past ten.
Although her overall specifications and raw power clearly increased in a short period of time, Cheren adjusted her difficulty level accordingly. It wasn’t difficult since he had been watching for a while to begin with.
From Leon’s experience, Cheren’s sword was at the same speed as it was at first and now.
Seueuugh-
Cheren’s shoulders turn.
Concentration reached its limit, extreme. The world Leon saw almost stopped.
Nevertheless, Cheren was ruthlessly fast.
‘Where is it? Shoulder? Chest? Waist? Wrist?’
A corner of her head was tingling and burning. Her blood flow and mana rushed through her body like crazy. Her senses expanded and her fur stood on end.
Cheren’s sword strike was aimed at her lower right.
‘······Waist!’
She cast her monotonous upward slash. But it was a terrifyingly sophisticated blow.
Posture, breathing, timing, mana circulation… All elements were exquisitely considered.
Checkmate. It cannot be avoided, nor can it be prevented.
All nine sword strikes made so far were laying the groundwork for this final blow. She gradually drove Leon to his death.
Cheren’s tenth sum, this was a kind of wall.
A wall that Leon can never overcome at his current level.
A wall that must be broken down to reach the next level.
Leon longed.
‘If only we could overcome this!’
His grip was gripping the sword as if it would be crushed.

First day.
Kaang…!
Red blood was scattered.
Leon’s new form and sword were violently thrown back.
“Master!”
“Leon!”
Everyone who was watching the couplet stood up immediately.
Udangtangtang-!
Leon’s body, which had been rolling around for a while, finally stopped. His arms rested on the ground, straightening his back.
“Cough…!”
A cough mixed with blood came out. Aria opened her eyes wide and used blink magic.
“Leon, are you okay?”
Cheren must have been surprised too, as she approached with her voice slightly raised.
“Well, it’s a waste.”
Leon mumbled calmly as he wiped the blood on his clothes.
Hera squatted down next to him.
“Hmm. “It was too much.”
“I see.”
It was definitely wrong. It was a sword that was fired by twisting energy and blood into the body. Even though I did that, I wasn’t successful.
“Master…”
Aria called him in a slightly reprimanding tone and put a potion on her hand.
Actually, I wasn’t seriously injured. He lost his grip on the sword and tore his grip, and only the inside was slightly damaged.
Hera added with a smile.
“So, good job, little brother. “If you want to break through limits, the crowd will inevitably follow you.”
“That’s right.”
Leon nodded his head and said.
“Let me do some luck for a moment.”
He got up and went to a corner of the training ground. It was to control internal wounds.
“Instructor, may I ask you a favor too?”
“Me too.”
“I understand. “Both of you, come in together.”
Celia and Essabel began to be beaten by Cheren.
Leon sat still and watched the scene for a moment, then closed his eyes.
“Seup······.”
The air trembled with the heavy breath. He slowly let his energy flow and controlled his insides.
‘What is lacking?’
Leon was worried.
Currently, he was on the verge of reaching expert level.
Considering that he reached the expert intermediate level at the beginning of the semester, this was a very rapid growth rate.
But Leon was not satisfied. Here, he had a strong desire to become stronger faster.
It has now been almost a year since I came to this world. However, Leon had already completely adapted to the life and way of thinking of a warrior.
In the end, I was firmly convinced that the only thing left and trustworthy at the last moment was the sword in my hand.
That’s why I had to become strong. I had to become much stronger than others and be able to beat up people I didn’t like and easily kill people who would kill me.
Also.
‘There are too many people to beat up.’
In other words, there were too many enemies.
From the beginning, Leon had the personality of making enemies here and there. This was not very good for longevity.
But even though Leon knew this, he did not fix it. It was nearly impossible for him to suppress his temper, and there were many times when he just acted impulsively. Because of that, he had many difficult times in his past life.
However, Leon did not want his life to be short.
So, he had a childish idea that he wanted to live like this and enjoy things for a long time.
In order to achieve that idea, I had to become stronger in the end. He had to become much stronger than he was now and get rid of the goons who were hostile, threatening, and attacking him.
What if he meets the high-ranking demon (Talkan) he met in the Si Runtel demon world again with his current skills?
‘I can’t say I’ll win.’
A similar or lower win rate was expected. That too would take a lot of effort.
It wasn’t good. At the very least, you should be able to cut him down like a random mob.
And now, the most natural and quickest way to increase one’s inaction is to leap forward.
Now, Leon’s body itself has reached the expert level, the highest level among them. The same goes for the energy and mana he carries.
Despite this, the level itself is intermediate.
In other words, the hardware is good, but the software is bad. The level of the heart is insufficient compared to the energy and body. My mind and body were not aligned.
‘Enlightenment, deep heart.’
Those things were needed.
I don’t know if he was a Master, but it was quite scary to beg for help at an Expert level. Did they even sign a contract with Bergov for this purpose?
Bergov, who gave me talent, guided me along the path. Keep your focus on the sword and move forward.
Leon’s focus was his quick sword.
“······.”
He thought.
For the next level.
Perhaps the answer could be to go beyond docility and explore the stages of non-purity.
Whooo…
Leon finished his training.

That evening.
“Have a nice trip, master.”
Aria stood in front of Leon, smoothing his hair with an affectionate hand and speaking. She looked like a s*xy woman seeing off Jiabi.
“······.”
Celia, who was glaring at the scene with very angry eyes, intervened.
“Stop fiddling with it, right? “I have to go now.”
Aria’s brow twitched. She glanced at her Celia and said:
“I’m going.”
“Uh, see you later.”
“Eight.”
Pook.
At one point, Aria jumped into Leon’s arms and hugged him.

“Hmm?”
Paching-.
And just as Leon was slightly embarrassed, he used blink magic and disappeared in an instant.
“What?”
Leon scratched his cheek. He ignored it and looked back at Celia.
“Celia, go quickly…”
When he saw her expression, his shoulders trembled in shock.
“······Now.”
A doubt appeared on Leon’s face.
When I looked around her with the meaning of why she was like that, her maids quietly avoided their gaze.
Celia bit her lip and spoke.
“Whoa. Depart.”
“Okay.”
The two went to District 2.
The reason they went out unexpectedly was because they received an invitation to dinner. I accepted it because there was no specific reason or justification for refusing it.
“Are you uncomfortable?”
Celia asked after seeing Leon fiddling with her clothes.
“A little.”
He was well dressed in luxurious clothes. No matter how much Leon did, he couldn’t wear his military uniform like usual to this event.
Celia said.
“Still, it looks good dressed like that. “Try to dress like that on a daily basis.”
She chuckled as if to tell Leon not to say nonsense. The positions of her sword, dagger, and weapon were very uncomfortable, so she kept adjusting them.
It was quick to arrive at the destination. Because it was so close, we didn’t use a carriage and walked.
“No, did you rent this place?”
A grand two-story restaurant that Leon often saw on his way home. Looking at the staff, escorts, and attendants stationed there, it seemed like she had booked the entire building.
Celia tilted her head.
“Isn’t it obvious?”
Leon clicked his tongue at her.
“Tsk tsk. “You grew up in a good home, so this is natural.”
“Huh? “That goes for you too.”
The two had a casual chat and went up to the second floor as instructed.
As I climbed the huge spiral staircase, I could hear calm music and soft voices.
As he climbed the last stairs, Leon let out a powerful sigh.
“I am here.”
— ······.
Familiar faces all looked at him.
