Reborn As An Extra : I'm gonna mess up everything

Strongest Transformation

She glanced awkwardly at Esdeath and the others, who were also trying to process what just happened.

"I... I don't think I can even fight that crazy lizard if I wanted to," Maruti thought nervously. "Alice is so screwed..."

She slowly turned her head away, pretending to be completely uninvolved in the chaos.

"Welp, not my problem anymore."

By that time Esdeath finally reached Maruti, her face was full of anger.

"Why can't you do a single thing right?" she snapped, her voice sharp and annoyed. "I told you to kill that Alice, not turn her into your girlfriend! And how the hell did that even happen?!"

Maruti looked completely confused and frustrated.

"Wait... she's Alice? But you said she looked gloomy and introverted, like Diana!" she argued.

"You-"

Esdeath was just about to explode at her again, but Elara's clone had enough of just watching from the side.

"You've survived long enough," he said with a cold voice, stepping forward to attack.

With Alice now out of the way, he had fewer enemies to deal with. That made things easier for him.

"Time ripple," he said, flicking his fingers.

Small, invisible waves started spreading through the air like the ripples on a quiet lake. Everything around them began to feel distorted and off.

Esdeath turned serious.

"This isn't the time for arguments. We have to move! We can't dodge this!" she said quickly.

Without hesitation, she dashed forward. Ethan and Maruti didn't waste a second and followed right after her.

Time-based powers like this were nearly impossible to resist unless you had strong defenses or another time skill. But none of them had that. Their only option was to escape.

"Reverse speed," Elara's clone said.

A strange wave of energy rushed out. Elara didn't actually move faster. Instead, everyone else around him suddenly slowed down. The pressure was heavy, as if time itself had turned against them. It was like Esdeath's skill, two different things but kind of similar effect.

Bam!

Elara kicked Ethan straight into the ground.

The next second, he was already standing in front of Maruti.

Bam.

Then again.

Bam.

And again.

Bam.

They exchanged a few fast strikes, but Elara was clearly in control. His movements were sharper, faster, and stronger. Maruti was barely holding on.

"He's just too strong... we can't win against him!" Ethan groaned as he slowly pushed himself off the ground. "Focus on running!"

Elara's clone didn't care about Ethan or Maruti anymore. His eyes locked onto Esdeath. His expression twisted with hate. There was something personal in the way he looked at her-like he wanted her to suffer more than anyone else.

"It's your turn," he said coldly.

He pulled out his sword and rushed toward her, swinging with full force, aiming straight for her head.

Esdeath tried to dodge, but her foot suddenly slipped on a small rock.

She tripped.

Her balance broke, and she fell backwards.
